37: A heart-breaking song

Inside Yongnian Supermarket's owner's office.

Four identical women stood by, serving tea and pouring water for the two men.

Liu Gaoda sat in a chair, holding a teacup, his eyes never leaving the four women.

Yamazumi Arimatsu, across from him, smiled, “Gaoda-kun, welcome!”

“Thank you!” Liu Gaoda looked back at Yamazumi Arimatsu, then quickly turned his eyes back to the four women.

He was afraid of missing even a second.

“Do you like Chunlan Qiuju?” Yamazumi Arimatsu asked with a smile.

Liu Gaoda’s eyes sparkled as he nodded repeatedly, “Yes!”

Yamazumi Arimatsu said, “They like you very much too, and hope to be friends with you!”

“Ah haha…” Liu Gaoda opened his mouth and laughed, looking as ugly as could be.

Liu Gaoda also realized he was losing his composure and quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Liu Gaoda’s unsightly behavior, the four women covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

This laughter made Liu Gaoda even more captivated.

“Gaoda-kun, since you like them, why don’t you come to our Yongnian Supermarket?” Yamazumi Arimatsu said, “If you come to our Yongnian Supermarket…”

“They can all be friends with you.”

“They can get close to you!”

“Really?” Liu Gaoda was overjoyed.

But then he hesitated, “But Qian Ziyong treats me very well, and I’m very happy at the Hot Pot Restaurant, I don’t want to…”

Yamazumi Arimatsu immediately interrupted, “I can give you triple your salary!”

“Really!” Liu Gaoda looked up, his eyes shining, “You’re willing to give me three hundred thousand a month?”

“What? Qian Ziyong gives you a hundred thousand a month?” Yamazumi Arimatsu looked utterly disbelieving.

Liu Gaoda was surprised, “No way, your manager here doesn’t even get a hundred thousand, right?”

Liu Gaoda’s gaze turned to the short manager beside him.

He had just heard Yamazumi Arimatsu introduce the middle-aged man in front of him as the manager of Yongnian Supermarket.

“My monthly salary is thirty thousand, the boss treats me very well, I’m very satisfied!” the middle-aged man said.

“Such a low salary?” Liu Gaoda’s face was filled with disdain.

After a couple of sentences, Liu Gaoda’s eyes once again turned to the quadruplets.

Seeing this, Yamazumi Arimatsu didn’t stop him. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, “As long as you’re willing to come over, I’ll give you three hundred thousand a month!”

“You come here and open a Hot Pot Restaurant for me. You’ll be the manager, fully in charge!”

Liu Gaoda hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused, “Qian Ziyong also gives me dividends, two million!”

“You’re so stingy, I doubt you’d give me dividends!”

“What?” Yamazumi Arimatsu stood up, “Qian Ziyong also gives you dividends?”

Opening a supermarket or a Hot Pot Restaurant isn’t a listed company; what dividends are there?

Liu Gaoda nodded, “Qian Ziyong took out a total of twenty-five million to give dividends to all of us!”

“Because our Hot Pot Restaurant is doing well, plus the number of people in the Hot Pot Restaurant is less than in the supermarket, so we get a lot.”

“I can get two million, and the other employees of the Hot Pot Restaurant can each get at least twenty thousand!”

Hearing twenty-five million, Yamazumi Arimatsu asked curiously, “How much do you earn in a month?”

Liu Gaoda said proudly, “The Hot Pot Restaurant earned twenty million, and the supermarket earned thirty million!”

Hearing Liu Gaoda’s words, the four women’s faces were full of surprise.

Seeing their surprise, Liu Gaoda became even more smug.

He added, “Although the Hot Pot Restaurant doesn’t earn as much as the supermarket, it’s precisely because our Hot Pot Restaurant business is good that it has driven the supermarket!”

“If it weren’t for the Hot Pot Restaurant I opened, the supermarket would still be losing money now!”

“Moreover, the supermarket has over a thousand employees and an area of five thousand square meters.”

“And my Hot Pot Restaurant only has five hundred employees and an area of only seven hundred square meters.”

“With five hundred employees and seven hundred square meters, earning almost as much money as the supermarket, our Hot Pot Restaurant is more efficient!”

“If the Hot Pot Restaurant wasn’t too small and limited my potential, I’m confident I could earn fifty million a month!”

Hearing how profitable the Hot Pot Restaurant was, Yamazumi Arimatsu was very tempted.

He had also investigated; the Hot Pot Restaurant could be said to be packed.

Even if it didn’t earn as much as Liu Gaoda said, it probably wasn’t far off.

And Liu Gaoda was the manager of the Hot Pot Restaurant.

If he poached him, it would directly cripple Qian Ziyong.

And he could open a similar Hot Pot Restaurant at Yongnian Supermarket.

Since opening a Hot Pot Restaurant upstairs at Feihuang Supermarket could be so popular, there’s no reason their Yongnian Supermarket couldn’t do the same!

Yamazumi Arimatsu gritted his teeth and said:

“Alright, I’m also willing to give you two million, and if the Hot Pot Restaurant makes money, I can give you more dividends!”

“You want to give me two million?” Liu Gaoda was surprised.

Two million was a huge sum of money!

Yamazumi Arimatsu nodded and waved his hand, “Manager Li, bring two million over!”

Manager Li bowed and retreated into the inner room, returning shortly with two black suitcases in his hands.

He opened the suitcases, and the money inside spilled directly onto the table in front of them.

Two million was a lot, so much that it dazzled Liu Gaoda’s eyes.

Seeing so much money, the four Sakura Country women behind him also showed envy in their eyes.

As long as Liu Gaoda nodded, all this money would be his!

“Gaoda-kun, my sincerity is right here!” Yamazumi Arimatsu said with a smile.

“As long as you come to our Yongnian Supermarket, you can take the money with you now!”

Liu Gaoda hesitated.

“Forget it, Qian Ziyong treats me so well, I can’t betray him!”

Yamazumi Arimatsu waved his hand, “Gaoda-kun, don’t rush to make a decision. Let’s watch a dance first!”

As melodious music began, the four women gracefully stood up, striking elegant poses.

Like white cranes, they danced gracefully.

Liu Gaoda stared intently, drool dripping down.

His eyes were full of dreams.

Like a dream, like an illusion.

He couldn’t tell which was Chun, which was Lan, which was Qiu, or which was Ju.

He just felt that everything was beautiful.

Liu Gaoda had never imagined that one day he would be able to live such a life.

This was his lifelong pursuit!

Just one was already his dream, something he hadn’t dared to imagine before.

Four identical ones, that was even more… tsk tsk…

As the saying goes, to die under a peony flower…

Moreover, these were four flowers of different seasons, yet they looked exactly the same.

“I… I’m willing!” Liu Gaoda’s heart pounded.

A single song broke his heart, and Liu Gaoda’s heart broke with it!

“Gaoda-kun!” Yamazumi Arimatsu said with a smile, “Take this money!”

Liu Gaoda watched the four women leave until they were out of sight, then he came back to his senses, “What did you just say?”

Yamazumi Arimatsu smiled, “Take the money, and come to work tomorrow.”

Liu Gaoda looked at the money on the table, feeling it was burning hot.

But he couldn’t let go of the love in his heart.

Liu Gaoda was a common man.

He had only this much ambition in his life.

If he missed this opportunity, who knew if he would ever have another chance?

“They… they don’t dislike fat people, do they?” Liu Gaoda suddenly became a little unconfident and asked in a low voice.

Yamazumi Arimatsu smiled, “Gaoda-kun, a man’s appearance is not important, what’s important is to have talent.”

“They like you very much!”
