Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 492 I'm Just Curious

After cleaning up, the store manager made an excuse and ran away. He really couldn't stand the atmosphere in the store where there were only two people besides him, Natsuki and Tachibana Aya.

"I'll be back at five o'clock. I'm going to see if Miss Les Mills has a concert today."

He said this, then walked out of the store, closing the door at the same time.

Natsuki was seriously considering the necessity of telling Sayuri-san about this matter.After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. If he wanted to take revenge and waited for me to finish cleaning before coming over every day, it would be a bit of a loss.Although he was used to cleaning, Xia Zhi wouldn't dislike having someone to help him share the burden.

While sorting out the coffee powder on the table, Natsuki slapped Tachibana Aya's hand away as she tried to take away the bottle containing the coffee powder.

"If you don't drink, why are you taking my bottle?"

"I'm just curious." Tachibana Aya retracted her hand.

"What's so curious about the bottle?" Although the bottle itself was nothing, Tachibana Aya was so lavish that Xia Zhi was afraid that she would break the bottle.Although this bottle is just a cheap thing, Xia Zhike only has this bottle. If it is gone, it will be too troublesome to find a new one.

"How stingy, is it important that I don't have a bottle yet?"

"That's not true." Xia Zhi glanced at Tachibana Aya, not knowing why she seemed quite happy: "Don't you think it's a good thing to compare yourself with the bottle?"

Tachibana Aya was stunned for a moment and started to think: "That seems to be the case? So shouldn't I be happy?"

Who knows?Xia Zhi shook his head and continued to do his own thing.Everything has been cleaned, and today the store manager came to help. The speed was much faster. Mayumi had already cleaned everything before she even arrived at the store.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Mayumi opened the store door and walked in: "Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Xia Zhi nodded to her as a greeting.

"My little Mayumi is too slow." Tachibana Aya winked at her.

"That's because Tachibana-senpai, you ran out of the school as soon as school was over!" Mayumi retorted: "I also want to know how you ran out of the school building within half a minute after the school bell rang. Yes, I've seen you in the classroom many times!"

Xia Zhi had an inexplicable sense of imagery, but he didn't express anything, he just wanted to be a quiet and transparent man.

"Mayumi-chan, did you know?" Tachibana Aya raised her index finger at her: "As long as a person has a set goal, he can burst out with powerful power that is not intended."

Mayumi's face was full of disgust: "That's enough, I don't want to eat anymore."

She turned to look at Xia Zhi: "Since Xia Zhi, you are inside the counter, then I don't have to clean it?"

"Although that's true. Aren't you the same Mayumi who loved cleaning and worked hard before?" Xia Zhi showed an obviously sad expression: "It's such a pity."

"I didn't!" Mayumi retorted loudly to Xia Zhi: "You have already finished cleaning, do you want me to clean it again!? It's almost time for the exam, and I just want to squeeze in a little review. Just in case. Because my studies have declined due to my part-time job, I will be scolded."

Xia Zhi tilted his head: "I've been curious before, but I never asked. Why do you keep hiding your parents' secrets about working part-time? Are the expenses of female high school students now so high?"

"That's right." Tachibana Aya hammered the palm of her hand: "I remember, isn't Mayumi-chan's family quite rich? Why do they come out to work?"

"There are deep reasons for this. And just because my family is rich doesn't mean I am rich." Mayumi frowned: "But it doesn't matter to say it. When I first came here, I wanted to save money to buy birthday gifts for my parents. The gifts came, but I didn’t have much pocket money every day, and occasionally my classmates would ask me to eat snacks together, so I couldn’t save any money at all. So I came to work part-time.”

"Isn't this good?" Xia Zhi scratched his hair: "I remember that all my first salary was spent on buying necessities. The gifts for my parents and sister were all made up for later. . But since you bought the gift, shouldn’t your part-time job have been exposed long ago?”

"Ah, before I bought a gift, my dad found out that I was working part-time."

Mayumi held her chin.

"My dad is a senior police officer, so it's normal for him to find out that I'm working part-time. I just didn't expect that he would find out before I sent out the gift. The police is indeed a very interesting profession."

"I think it's inappropriate to use the adjective 'interesting' to describe it..."

Who are these people?

"Well. My dad said, since I'm already working, I might as well stick with it, earn some pocket money or something, and train myself by the way. It just doesn't affect my studies, so I just stuck with it. It's just such a simple thing." Mayumi spread her hands.

It seemed that among the people present, except for Xia Zhi who was forced by life and had no choice but to do it, the others all started working out of interest or for the purpose of exercise.

There are already many differences in terms of realm.

"Yes. Little Mayumi must persevere. After all, it won't be long before she graduates from high school. Apart from here, there seems to be no place where she can see little Mayumi."

"I will."

Xia Zhi remembered something: "By the way, Mayumi, doesn't your family actually live near here? You told me last time when my sister and I went to the mall. If it's so close, you can actually visit What."

"Huh?" Li Huacai became alert: "I don't seem to have heard of this?"

"Nonsense, you only arrived in the afternoon, but Mengmeng arrived in the morning. I have to buy her daily necessities." Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.

"When you go to the mall, you should wait for me. I'm familiar with this matter."

"No, you're not familiar with it." Xia Zhi shook his head and continued to look at Mayumi: "You should live near here, right?"

"It's not near here, but it's relatively close to the shopping mall over there. The distance from the shopping mall to home is about the same as from the school to the store, right? I haven't calculated it carefully, but it shouldn't be too far apart."

"That's actually quite close." Xia Zhi shrugged: "If you want to meet, there are plenty of opportunities."

"It's true, that's why I have enough energy to go back and have dinner every day."

"Then there's no need to worry." Tachibana Aya smiled at Mayumi.
