Chapter 727: Suzuki Tomoko's wisest decision
Moreover, it was agreed at the beginning that Hanyu Kusunoki would get 30% of the shares and his position would be honorary store manager, and his usual job would be to be a mascot.
Which mascot doesn’t have peripheral products?
Hanyu Nan looked at the four girls in front of him and shook his head with a smile.
He never expected that one day, he, Hanyu Succubus Angel Nan, would actually fall to the point of selling his body. However, it was a rare opportunity for the girls in his family to unite and open a store, so of course he had to support them.
Isn’t it just betraying the appearance?
Come on, come on, don't show any mercy to yourself.
At this time, a capable woman in her forties came over with a tray of food. She was wearing a standard chef's uniform, but with a small chocolate-shaped brooch pinned to her collar.
"This is Chef Nakajima," Mingmei introduced. "He used to be a pastry chef at a two-Michelin-star restaurant in Paris. Miss Ayako hired him specifically."
Chef Nakajima bowed slightly and said, "I have long heard of Master Hanyu. The treatment offered by Director Suzuki is truly irresistible."
She paused, then added, "Triple the salary plus an apartment with a Tokyo Tower view or something."
Hanyu Kusunoki gave Ayako a thumbs up in her heart - she was worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, her way of poaching people was simple and rough.
The only thing that money can't buy is trouble.
The chef lifted the lid of the plate to reveal the exquisitely shaped dumplings inside - the dough was an elegant chocolate color, with fine lace edges, drizzled with pink sauce, and dotted with edible gold foil on the sides.
"Wow..." Xiaolan opened her eyes wide in surprise, "This is completely different from what Sonoko makes at home!"
The "chocolate dumplings" made by Yuanzi at home can be called a dark dish - ordinary dumpling skins are wrapped in melted chocolate, and when cooked, they look like a pot of strange black coal balls. Of course, it is also related to her cooking skills.
And the plate in front of me is simply a work of art.
Chef Nakajima continued, “The dough is made with cocoa powder imported from France, and the filling is Belgian dark chocolate mixed with homemade peanut butter, served with raspberry rose sauce.”
"Please enjoy your meal." She put down the plate and added, "Ms. Ayako specifically instructed that if Master Hanyu is not satisfied, she can immediately change the chef."
“…No need, this is good enough.” Hanyu Kusunoki raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
It is indeed Sister Ayako's style. Suzuki Ayako, who inherited the position of chairman of the Suzuki Group, is now increasingly showing the demeanor of their mother, the business queen Suzuki Tomoko.
Speaking of Suzuki Tomoko, a few days ago, the mother of Ayako and Sonoko, former chairman of the Suzuki Group and head of the Suzuki family invited Hanyu Kusunoki to visit her home.
The Suzuki Group is now an existence that cannot be provoked among people of a certain level, because behind them stands a person that no one in the world dares to provoke, or an extraordinary person.
With the name of Hanyu Kusunoki, the Suzuki family has been thriving these days.
Tomoko Suzuki herself felt that she had gotten a great deal.
She only sacrificed her two daughters to get such a powerful son-in-law, which was truly the best deal she had ever made in her life.
He had rejected Ayako's marriage with Tomizawa Yuzo.
It can be said to be her wisest decision.
She can even personally...
..........
Inside the store, Hanyu Kusunoki picked up a dumpling and took a bite under Sonoko's expectant gaze. Unexpectedly, the slightly bitter cocoa dough formed a perfect balance with the sweet filling, and the sour and sweet raspberry sauce was the finishing touch.
"...delicious," he commented honestly.
Xiaolan also tried one and her eyes lit up: "Really! The crust has the aroma of chocolate but it's not too sweet, and the peanut butter filling adds a layer of taste!"
"Right, right!" Sonoko proudly put her hands on her hips, "I said my chocolate dumpling idea is great! It just needs a little... uh..."
"Professional improvement." Chef Nakajima replied with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Professional improvement!" Yuanzi slammed the table and stood up, "This must be the signature product! The name is... 'Nannan-kun's Love Dumplings'!"
"Rejected." Hanyu Kusunoki and Ai said in unison.
"I don't care! I want to call it this!" Yuanzi slammed her hands on the table like a furious cat, making the cutlery jingle. "This is the testimony of our love!"
Xiao Ai flipped through the menu expressionlessly: "'Chocolate Raspberry Golden Dumplings' are already printed."
"What?!" Yuanzi snatched the menu and widened her eyes. "Who allowed you to change the name without permission? This doesn't reflect my love story with Nan at all!"
"Business considerations." Xiao Ai said expressionlessly, "Your name will make customers mistakenly think that it is a couple's limited edition, and you will lose at least 37.2% of your regular customers."
"I agree with Ai." Xiaolan raised her hand, "Besides... 'Nannan's Love Dumplings' sounds a bit..."
"What's going on?" Sonoko narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"It's a bit embarrassing..." Xiaolan muttered softly, her cheeks slightly red.
Hanyu Nan looked at the three girls arguing, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He noticed that Mingmei secretly winked at him, and the two of them got up and left the table tacitly, leaving the three girls to continue their "friendly communication".
"What do you think of that name, Master Hanyu?" Mingmei asked softly at the bar, skillfully mixing drinks with her hands.
"Well, how should I put it..." Hanyu Kusunoki took the special milk tea she handed over. There was a small chocolate horn decorated on the edge of the cup. "I just feel that Sono's train of thought is always so...special."
He took a sip and found the rich milk aroma and the light tea flavor blended perfectly, which was exactly his favorite taste.
Mingmei smiled softly, her eyes curved into crescents: "Sonoko's creativity is indeed unique. But..."
The maid leaned closer, the faint scent of lavender on her body lingering on Hanyu Kusunoki's nose, "I think it's cute, how much she cares about Master Hanyu."
Hanyu Kusunoki was about to respond when he was interrupted by a commotion.
I don't know when Sonoko climbed onto the dining table, holding up the menu and announcing loudly, "I've decided! It's called 'Kansuen's Love Dumplings'! It's in French, English and Japanese, international!"
Xiao Ai crossed her arms and sneered: "Haha, I think the name 'Kan Ai's Love Dumplings' is also good."
Xiaolan silently raised her hand: "'Kusanlan's Love Dumplings' is also OK."
The alliance of the three women who had just formed a alliance against Hanyu Kusunoki collapsed in an instant just because of a name, and the friendship was overturned.
Chef Nakajima stood aside, his professional smile revealing a hint of confusion. It was obvious that he did not expect to face such a scene on his first day at work.
