After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 32 32. Want to make more money?

Yuan Ye Si didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at a party. He turned his head curiously and saw a girl in a pure white shirt standing a few meters away.

The other party was looking at him with a dazed expression.

The girl's pure white shirt looked slightly yellow in the sun. She must have been worn for a long time and had to be hand-washed many times to get the best effect. There was a red ribbon tied around the collar, and she was wearing the familiar dark green pleated skirt, white silk calf socks, and brown round-toed leather shoes.

This outfit is no different from the standard attire for high school girls, simple and clean. Except for the white silk calf socks which are a bit out of place, everything else is fine.

But the key point is that the other party is not a female high school student.

It was his neighbor whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Chongzhixi.

That’s right, it was the female college student who fulfilled three wishes at once when they first met after just moving in, and later accidentally guessed that her original body had committed suicide by burning charcoal.

Ever since Harano Tsukasa resigned from his public office, he basically never got up early, and his time to go home at night was very irregular. He even stayed out one or two nights. I haven't seen this little girl since the second time we met. I didn't expect to meet her in the suburbs of Nerima today.

However, compared with her previous energetic spirit, the little girl in front of him didn’t seem to be in a very good condition.

When we first met, Chong Zhixi had fair and tender skin, neat and white teeth, and lips as tempting as jelly. Her shoulder-length hair was dark and shiny, and her delicate face was pretty and charming. She was full of youthfulness, and people would believe her even if she said she was a high school student.

But now she was wearing a baseball cap, her complexion was very bad, her lips were slightly pale and chapped, even her soft hair was messy, her eyes were dull and her eye circles were dark.

You can tell from this that he didn't get enough rest.

It would not even be accurate to say that he did not get enough rest. It was more like he was a social animal who stayed up late and worked overtime for three days and three nights.

Yuan Ye Si suppressed his surprise, looked at the girl who was staring at him in a daze, and greeted her in a gentle tone: "Shigee-san? Is it such a coincidence?"

"Yes... yes, Mr. Yuanye."

Zhong Zhixi, who had been in a daze for some reason, came to his senses instantly after hearing the voice and nodded quickly.

"Shigeeda-san, what's going on..." Harano Tsukasa looked at her again, then looked at the direction she had just walked from, and asked like a normal friend.

"I, I just finished work and was about to go home."

Chongzhixi replied with a stumbling voice.

Yuan Ye Si nodded when she heard that, and looked up at the slightly dark sky. She felt that she looked a little dazed today, but after a moment of hesitation, she asked, "I just happened to be going back, so why don't I give you a ride?"

Shigeshi's eyes were still on the Mercedes-Benz next to Yuanye Si, and she subconsciously said, "Okay..."

By the time she realized that she had said the wrong thing and had accepted the other person's invitation which was obviously just a casual greeting, it was already too late. She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She opened her mouth to refuse.

But Yuanye Si had already gotten into the car.

Chongzhi Xi stared at the obviously valuable luxury car in front of her for a moment, then turned her head to look at the villa that Yuanye Si had just come out of. Her brain was a little confused for a moment, but when she saw the car already started, she swallowed and walked over.

The interiors of Mercedes-Benz cars are famous for their luxury.

Especially the extra-large screen on the center console and the ambient lights around the inner doors and air outlets that have strong lighting effects during the day make it look more high-end and luxurious.

At least Chongzhi Xi has never seen it.

The comfort and wrapping of the leather sports seats were something she had never experienced when riding on buses or trams.

Chong Zhixi, who had never had such an experience, knew that this high-end-looking sedan was very expensive, even if she didn't know much about cars. She subconsciously tucked in the hem of her skirt that was spread on the seat, and put her feet together obediently, for fear of getting them rubbed with dirt.

to be frank.

Chongzhixi is still confused.

As her father's condition worsened these days, the medical expenses for hospitalization increased, and she had to increase her work from three jobs a day to five jobs.

There are only five hours of rest time each day.

She came here to do a tutoring job.

Although the distance is a bit far and the time cost of taking the tram is relatively high, it is the highest paying part-time job among the five part-time jobs and she is determined not to miss it.

I just bumped into Harano Tsukasa suddenly...

If she hadn't looked carefully and made sure that it wasn't because of overwork that caused the blurry vision in her eyes, Chongzhi Xi would never have thought that she would meet her neighbor here who had behaved very strangely a few days ago and even wanted to commit suicide by burning charcoal.

Why can't I think of...

Because the location is so weird!

Due to her part-time job, Shigeeda Shio has come to the villa area in Nerima District dozens of times. She knows that the villa that Harano Tsukasa just walked out of was specially turned into a party venue by the owner to entertain guests. Basically, someone would make a reservation every day. For example, when she passed by here after tutoring her students in the afternoon, she could basically hear the noisy revelry of young men and women inside.

This is actually normal. After all, many of her classmates like to come to this kind of place. If she wasn't short of money, she would actually be quite curious about this place.

But when Yuan Ye Si came to a place like this...

It was a bit unexpected.

Because I also live in a run-down apartment building in Ikebukuro, and I wanted to commit suicide by burning charcoal some time ago. But after not seeing him for a few days, he drove this expensive luxury car and came to this place to play...

"Maybe it's to relax."

Chongzhi Xi explained this for him in her heart.

But she still felt a little uneasy.

After all, when we first met, Mr. Yuanye's mental state seemed to be a little off. He kicked the mop and threw the basin. Even when he heard me saying bad things about him, he was still very polite, as if nothing had happened.

Is this normal?

This is very abnormal!

It's normal for those indiscriminate killers reported on TV to be stimulated. Basically, the stimulation accumulates to a certain level before they suddenly attack.

Although Shigeji Xi felt that Harano Tsukasa was very normal when they met last time, and even had a layer of filter of his identity as a civil servant, she still felt a little scared when she thought about it carefully afterwards. What if he was holding a grudge at the time but just didn't show it, which seemed normal.

According to the melodramatic plot in the TV series, even if at this moment Harano Tsukasa suddenly said to her, "Come with me," and then steered the car sharply to make a death roll, and then pressed his seat belt button at lightning speed, so that he flew out of the car and rolled on the road for seventeen or eighteen times with blood all over his face and his head falling off, it seems possible.

The more Chongzhixi thought about it, the more nervous she became. She kept swallowing her saliva, and her closed legs twisted unconsciously. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if the seat under her butt was not a leather seat but a red-hot iron.

Harano Tsukasa, who was driving, also quickly noticed her unusual behavior: "Shigeeda-san, what's wrong?"

"Ah? No, it's okay!"

Shigeshi shook her head hurriedly. Yuanye Si was a little puzzled, not quite sure whether this child was born timid or had some misunderstanding about him, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might be the latter.

It should still be a problem of the original person committing suicide.

But this child's reaction is quite extreme. Japan's suicide rate is so high, there is no need to be so nervous.

"Mr. Shigee is here to work?" No matter what, seeing the kid looking so uneasy, Harano Tsukasa still wanted to ease the atmosphere.

"Yes... yes, I happen to have a part-time job as a tutor here." Chongzhi Xi said truthfully while looking straight ahead.

"I remember you were about to graduate, right?"

"Yes... yes, I'm already doing internship..."

"Then why are you still working part-time? Nerima is quite far from Ikebukuro, and today is not a workday, so it shouldn't affect your normal work, right?"

"I...I haven't signed a company yet..."

When Chong Zhixi said this, he lowered his head slightly, pursed his lips, and his voice became much softer.

"Haven't you met the right one? Logically speaking, companies that recruit on campus are already very good, much better than looking for one in society on your own." Yuan Ye Si couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Shigee Xi in the rearview mirror.

Japan’s campus recruitment is quite reliable.

At the very least, they won't let restaurants that hire dishwashers come in to recruit people just for the so-called employment rate.

Moreover, engineering majors all have corporate partners.

Not to mention top universities like the University of Tokyo and Keio University, even second-rate universities like Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Harano Tsukasa's alma mater, have good corporate recruiting during campus recruitment, and the salaries are quite substantial.

If the original body had not lost the ideal of being an upper-class corporate slave, being a civil servant would not be the only way out.

However, an indescribable look appeared on Chongzhixi's face, and her two palms were subconsciously twisted together, as if she had something to hide. After hesitating for a long time, she whispered, "Those companies are very good, but the salary has not yet met my expectations..."

Hearing this, Yuanye Si raised his eyebrows.

Salary not meeting expectations?

According to his observation, Shigeeda Shio is most likely not a native of Tokyo, otherwise she would not have been able to rent a house when she was about to graduate from university, and her family conditions could not have been very well-off. Otherwise, how could she look like a corporate slave who has been in school for five years, with scary dark circles under her eyes?

According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare this year, the salary of Japanese university graduates when they first start working is around 21 yen, but those from better schools will definitely earn more, generally around 30 yen.

This salary level is not low.

You should know that as a civil servant in the district office, Harano Tsukasa's monthly salary is only 21 yen, comparable to that of an ordinary stock clerk in a convenience store. This shows how low the treatment of civil servants is.

Moreover, there are huge economic disparities among different regions in Japan.

Comparing the normal salary level in Tokyo with some backward areas, such as poor counties like Tottori and Yamaguchi, is already a dimensionality reduction attack. No matter what, it would not lead Shigeeda to say that it did not meet her expectations.

and so…

Yuanye Si thought about it, then glanced at Shigee Shige who was lowering his head through the rearview mirror, and a light red light curtain unfolded.

[Wish object: Shigee Shige]

[The wish list is as follows]

[1. Hospitals should treat patients for free (red)]

[2. Who can give me million yen for free (white)]

[3. As long as my father gets better, I am willing to kill others (purple)]

The information on Shigeshio's wish list is brief.

But a lot of information was revealed.

Even though the child looked terrified to be with him, all the information on the wish list was related to money, or medical treatment.

Her father seems to be seriously ill?
Anyone who has had a seriously ill patient in the family, especially one who needs long-term treatment, knows that illness is a bottomless pit for a family. Even a relatively wealthy middle-class family may be slowly dragged down by it.

Although it is not clear what disease the child's father has, from her current tired appearance and desire for money, it can be basically guessed that it is not a minor illness.

Think of this.

Thinking about his previous basic judgment of this little girl, Yuanye Si suddenly came up with an idea.

Ok…

Green tea is invincible.

But it's not impossible to borrow the good girl's bones...

As long as you know the limits and don't treat her like a gold digger, it doesn't matter if you don't get any extra benefits. After all, it's not disgusting for Harano Tsukasa to spend money on such a girl. But people like Kawachi Yumemi, who are hypocritical and may not get any sex even if they spend money, are really disgusting.

After brainstorming for a few minutes, thinking about the feasibility and risks of this matter, and after making sure that it would not violate ethical standards, I finalized the plan.

"Shigeeda-san seems to be short of money?"

Yuan Ye Si suddenly asked.

"Ah? Well... a little bit..." Chong Zhixi raised her head in confusion. Her thoughts were a little scattered just now.

Harano Tsukasa held the steering wheel and looked ahead, slowing down the car slightly, organizing his words and speaking slowly: "If Shigeeda wants to make more money, I have a good job here."

Chongzhixi was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

But immediately his eyes lit up.

If it were other things, she might not have paid so much attention, but if there was a job that could make more money, her rationality would be instantly obliterated.

Even though she knew it was a bit abrupt, and even just now she was afraid that someone might drive her to see Amaterasu at any time, Shigee Shio swallowed her saliva, turned her head and looked at Harano Tsukasa expectantly and asked quickly, "What kind of job is it, and how much is the salary?"

"Monthly salary: 1 million yen."

Yuanye Si pondered for a moment, did not say what the specific job was, but slowly raised a finger.

It's just different from what I expected.

Contrary to the expectation that this little girl Chong Zhixi would agree immediately with excitement, she instead widened her eyes instantly, as if her brain had crashed. After a moment, her little face turned pale, and cold sweat even seeped out of her forehead.
