The key is that Momoka Amemiya has a scholarly air, is intellectual and gentle, and can be described as the white moonlight in men's dreams.
No wonder she has so many admirers... Which man wouldn't be moved when seeing her?
If it were any other time, Chiba Shuichi would probably be deeply moved, and might even go back on his word and decide to fall in love.
But Mrs. Wenxiang's obsession last night and the pressure from the nymphomaniac president this morning made him calm and composed at this moment. He simply appreciated it without any worldly desires.
Although her figure is not as explosive as the two Mrs. Ogawas, it is still better than the little apples like the Akiyama sisters, and much better than the flat chested lady like Sumire Naze.
This is just right for her temperament and doesn't feel out of place.
"What do you think? Am I exaggerating?" said Sumire Naze with some pride.
Chiba Shuichi came back to his senses and looked at her, "Indeed, she is much prettier than the teacher."
"..." Naze Sumire's smile froze, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this?"
"What's wrong?" Qianye Xiu spread his hands, "These are the teacher's original words, I just repeated them."
"..." Naze Sumire was speechless. Her eyelids twitched and she turned to Amamiya Momoka and said, "I think we should just forget about it. This guy is not very reliable."
"Teacher, this is too much. How am I unreliable? Just because I told you two true words?" Chiba Shuichi turned his head and looked at Amamiya Momoka.
"I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now, but Mr. Naze always praised you highly, so I can't help but feel a little curious."
Amamiya Momoka smiled gently, not caring at all, and said the first sentence they met, "It's okay."
The voice is also very nice and soothing, but the attitude is a little cold and seems difficult to approach.
Chiba Shuichi secretly calculated in his mind that it should be a sure thing for him to meet the requirements of an excellent store owner, but the sense of belonging might be a problem afterwards.
But from experience, people who appear difficult to approach may be very different in private. They are just introverted or don’t know how to communicate with others.
This kind of person will become more trusting of his friends when you get to know him well.
We sold them for a lot of money, and they still have to thank you...
Well, what a mess you are thinking about. You have been completely led astray by the nymphomaniac president!
Chiba Xiuyi quickly stopped his dangerous thoughts.
"Please take a seat first, both of you. Yes, that's right, Mr. Naze will take a seat too."
Naze Sumire immediately became unhappy and said, "What do you mean? Do you have to emphasize that I am not welcome?"
"Welcome, welcome. How could I not welcome you? It would be better if you could stay here tonight." Chiba Shuichi chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Sumire Naze was immediately upset, "Amamiya, let's go. I don't think this place is suitable for you."
Chiba Shuichi immediately retorted: "Since we are here, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if we don't check out the shops first? What do you think, Amamiya-san?"
Amamiya Momoka smiled and watched the two bickering, seeming to be very interested, "Then please let Chiba-kun introduce us."
Sumire Nase didn't really want to go back on her word, otherwise she wouldn't have brought Momoka Amamiya with her.
The two sat down, and Chiba Shuichi took out a stack of information and asked, "What kind of business do you plan to run, Amamiya-san?"
"Flower shop." Amamiya Momoka replied softly.
"Flower shop..." Chiba Shuichi seemed to be thinking about something. The shop and the person were quite compatible, but what effect would the bonus of the flower shop have?
Are flowers more fragrant?
But if the fragrance is too strong, it will be pungent, right? It's more like weakening than strengthening?
Or will the effect be reflected in the usage? For example, doubling the probability of confession? Or... double the good deeds of visiting graves?
While thinking about all sorts of things, Chiba Shuichi searched for a suitable store and soon found one.
As luck would have it, it was right next to his left - the ramen shop was on the right.
This is not a deliberate arrangement, because for a shopping street, it is just like playing Go, where gold corners, silver edges and grass belly are important.
The closer a shop is to the street corner, the more valuable it is.
The vacant properties were all in poor locations, and his management office naturally would not occupy valuable shops, so they were all concentrated in the middle of the shopping street.
"There is a two-story shop next door with a total area of 90 square meters. The second floor can be used for both commercial and residential purposes. Do you think it's suitable, Mr. Amamiya?" Chiba Shuichi said as he pushed the information over.
As the introducer, Sumire Naze took the initiative to help and asked, "What's the price? I remember you said there was a discount."
"Of course, since it was introduced by Mr. Naze, of course I have to give you a discount." Chiba Shuichi smiled and looked at Amamiya Momoka, "Amamiya-san is the owner, right? Can we sign the contract today?"
"Yes." Amamiya Momoka picked up the information and nodded slightly, still maintaining a faint smile. Every move she made was very beautiful.
"In that case..." Chiba Shuichi pretended to think, but actually checked the system's quotation, "Monthly rent is 120,000 yen, management fee is included, no deposit, no key money, is that okay?"
After saying that, Chiba Shuichi thought to himself, Amamiya Momoka is so beautiful, but her discount is the same as that of the two Mrs. Ogawas, so the discounts for excellent store owners are the same?
What about the ramen shop...the two poster girls each get a discount of 10,000 yen?
It sounds like the gift you get when you top up your phone bill...
Nanase Sumire was slightly surprised when she heard that. This price was really good. She had previously thought that a 10% discount would be good enough, and 20% off would be the limit.
But the price...
Although she didn't know much about the market, renting a 90-square-meter shop in Taito District for 120,000 yen was a great deal no matter how she looked at it!
"Is there...a ghost here?" Sumire Naze knew that it was not appropriate for Amamiya Momoka to ask so directly, but she didn't care. The guy in front of her was always irritating anyway.
Chiba Shuichi rolled his eyes, "What are you talking about, teacher? If there's a ghost next door, would I still live here? Besides, it's rare for the teacher to ask me for help, so even if I want to cheat you, I won't cheat Amamiya-san."
"Thank you for being so reliable."
Naze Sumire was very upset, then she crossed her arms and said:
"You're not at a disadvantage. To be honest, if Amamiya is willing to be a teacher in a private school, the tuition fee will be quite high."
Chapter 81 Will the teacher be obedient?
Chiba Shuichi suddenly thought of something when he heard this. He didn't want to be a teacher in a private school. Did he dislike teaching? Naze Sumire was so carefree. Could she not have realized it at all?
He looked at Amamiya Momoka, "Amamiya-san, don't worry too much about the tutoring. Mr. Naze must have said something bad about me to you. My ideal in this life is to lie down and I have no ambition to enter the University of Tokyo."
This was said cryptically, but Amamiya Momoka understood it instantly, "It's okay, thank you Chiba-kun for your thought."
Chiba Shuichi smiled gently, "It's nothing, you can change the conditions, such as giving me some flowers for free every month, that's fine, Amamiya-san, don't make it difficult."
Naze Sumire also reacted at this time and rolled her eyes, "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course, I have discussed this matter with Amamiya a long time ago. Okay, let's go check out the specific situation of the store first."
Chiba Shuichi had no objection and took the two of them directly to the site next door for a visit.
"If you want to open a flower shop, the first floor needs to be renovated. If you plan to use the second floor as a residence, you can basically move in with just your luggage. It has air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a stove..."
Chiba Shuichi introduced it very diligently and professionally.
Naze Sumire was quite surprised by this, "I didn't expect that you can be quite capable when you are serious."
"Teacher, you found out too late." Chiba Xiuyi smiled.
"Then you should be more serious about your studies!" Naze Sumire was full of resentment.
"Yeah, yeah, no problem. I'll definitely take it seriously if Amemiya-san helps me with my lessons." Chiba Shuichi looked like he was ready to follow instructions.
But after hearing this, Sumire Naze became even angrier. So the problem lies with me, the teacher, right?
But if I lose to Amamiya... well, that's fine.
……
After looking around, Chiba Shuichi tactfully went back to the management office next door, leaving the two to discuss the matter.
Sumire Naze looked at Momoka Amemiya with some worry. The latter still had a faint smile on her face, like a flower that never fades.
She was afraid that her decision was wrong and would hurt such a wonderful person again.
"What do you think? Is it okay? To be honest, although Qianye is my student, I really don't understand whether he is reliable or not."
Chiba Shuichi's repeated jumps made it difficult for Nase Sumire to figure him out.
"Well, thanks to you for introducing this place. It's much better than my original plan." Amamiya Momoka lifted the hair beside her ear and nodded slightly.
"As for Chiba-kun... I don't feel a strong sense of possessiveness towards him, nor do I feel excessive... well, it's just pure admiration."
This was obviously not the first time that Sumire Naze had heard such words, but she was surprised by the judgment: "Eh? Such a high evaluation? Chiba, this guy actually..."
She felt inexplicably strange in her heart. How could a guy who played that kind of game with girls in the health room be so indifferent to the absolute beauty of Amemiya?
I always feel like something is not right...
"My feelings may not be correct. Just trust your own judgment." Seeing her self-doubt, Amamiya Momoka gently reminded her.
"No, no, no, your judgment has always been accurate, but I can't." Sumire Naze shook her head repeatedly.
Seeing this, Amamiya Momoka didn't say anything more.
Well, I just walked to the balcony and stared at the small park not far away in the back street.
Nanase Sumire stood beside her, turned her head to look at her profile, and sighed for the umpteenth time, Amamiya is really as beautiful as a painting...
How can there be such a perfect person in the world?
And he's my friend, I'm so lucky.
The only problem is...
……
"She still refuses to call me by my name." Looking at Amamiya Momoka who was signing not far away, Sumire Nase couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Chiba Shuichi, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Teacher, do you really want to have a closer relationship with Amamiya-san?"
Naze Sumire didn't expect that her sigh was heard even though it was so quiet. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly pulled him out to the street.
He turned around and looked at Amemiya Momoka in the room. She was completely unaware and was still dealing with procedures with the gray-haired old butler. Only then did he feel relieved.
Naze Sumire hesitated for a moment, then asked Chiba Shuichi, "You seem to be very good at this kind of getting close to others?"
Chiba Xiuyi understood what she meant when he heard it, and smiled and said, "First of all, teacher, you have to understand one thing. When it comes to love, if a man treats a woman as a goddess, he will never be able to pursue her. He can only treat her as a human being, as an ordinary person."
Naze Sumire glared at him, "Amamiya is not an ordinary person, and do you have any misunderstandings about close friends?"
Chiba Xiuyi spread his hands, "It's the same with friends. When you look up to someone, there is bound to be an insurmountable gap between you.
Although this is just our first meeting, I personally feel that Amamiya-san’s words…”
