"Compared to being a corporate slave, I think running a restaurant is more suitable for you."

"A restaurant?"

Previously, Daihei Doma had never thought about this matter, nor had he considered resigning.

Ultimately, although the job is somewhat tedious, the salary is quite good, and the stability isn't so bad.

However, considering Umaru's future, this kind of life, where she can only save 20,000 to 30,000 yen a month, is really not a long-term solution.

Having too little savings means that even a small accident could cause a major problem.

"Brother, please say yes. I don't want you to keep working so hard. Besides, Umaru really wants to be the main character in an anime."

At this moment, Doma Taihei hesitated, a rare occurrence for him.

Money, the future—as long as you work hard, there will always be opportunities.

But the animated protagonist and the potential superpowers are things that can't be missed and won't come again.

If we give up here, we'll probably never have another chance.

Moreover, upon closer examination, aside from the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) romance that caused a severe blow to the characters involved in Musashino's previous anime, the other anime didn't have much of an impact.

In addition, there are no major flaws in Umaru's character.

Although she was very lazy at home, this was something only she and her husband knew.

Even if this were actually made into an animation, it wouldn't really matter; it might even help her improve her lazy personality.

More importantly, this is also Umaru's own wish.

After pondering for a long time, Doma Taihei nodded slightly:

"Okay, I agree!"

"That's great! This way, my brother won't have to work so late every day." Doma Umaru's face lit up with excitement.

Chapter 156 Doma Restaurant Officially Opens

On this day in early May, Daihei Doma officially submitted his resignation to Diamond Services.

"Daiping, are you really going to resign?"

Kongo Ye looked at Doma Taihei, who was packing his things, and mustered up his courage to go up and talk to him:

"Why? Are you unhappy in our department? I can help you find another position."

“That’s exactly what I was saying,” Benchang Meng added. “I complained to you before about wanting to change jobs, and you always disagreed. I never expected you to actually offer to resign. Should I go with you?”

"Senior, if you leave, Minister Ye will definitely cry..."

boom!

Before Alex could finish speaking, he was elbowed by King Kong Ye.

After quickly packing his personal belongings, Doma Taihei glanced back at his two worried friends and his junior colleague working nearby, and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, but due to personal reasons, I have to change jobs. However, you can still come to Doma Restaurant to eat often in the future."

"Huh...!? You opened a restaurant? Taihei." Motoba Takeshi looked surprised. "Where did you get the capital?"

Seeing that the other two were also listening intently, Doma Taihei hesitated for a moment, then gestured for the three of them to come closer, before whispering:

"actually......"

"So, your sister was chosen to be the female lead in the animation, and because her story is about to be broadcast on television, you received a large sum of money?" Motoshiro's eyes widened.

"Shh... the animation needs to be kept secret. Besides, the money isn't much, so I chose a restaurant."

"But do you know how to run a restaurant? What if it goes out of business?"

“I visited the restaurant a few days ago and have already met the head chef and manager. With all the staff remaining the same, there’s no way the business will fail. Besides, even if it does close down, the store will be worth a lot of money.”

"So, the other party bought the storefront and gave it to you as a gift? Or it wasn't rented?"

"Ah."

"Such generous terms, it feels like a dream!"

If the store is purchased instead of rented, eliminating the rent will significantly reduce operating costs.

Moreover, given Ohira's conscientious nature, the possibility of his business failing is very low.

At this moment, Kiba Takeshi hesitated, a rare occurrence for him.

As a longtime friend, he actually wanted to leave with Daihei.

But I don't know how to run a restaurant, and my cooking skills aren't great either. I wouldn't be able to help much if I went there; I would only cause trouble for Da Ping.

"Daping, what's the situation with that restaurant? How much does it make approximately each month?"

"The former head chef just left, and the new head chef was just an apprentice before, so his cooking skills are just average. The manager is getting old, his eyesight is failing, and he often forgets things. I'm not sure about his income, but it probably isn't very good."

"This... I thought it was a very well-equipped store, but isn't it on the verge of closing down?"

"Yes, it was precisely because of its poor management that it was able to be bought."

This match left me speechless. Can Taihei really handle this situation?

His cooking skills are excellent, but his interpersonal skills need improvement.

Even if the store itself belongs to him, if the business situation does not improve for a long time, it will soon have to close down.

At that point, coming back wouldn't be so easy.

"Daiping, it's hard for me to stay here alone after you leave. How about I work with you?"

"Of course. However, since we're just starting out, I might not be able to offer you a high salary right now."

"It's okay, we can add more money after the business improves."

"Thank you, Bengba."

"you're welcome."

This person laughed and then looked at Jin Gangye:

"That's it, I'm resigning too. Sorry, Ye, I won't be writing a resignation letter."

"..."

Jin Gangye stared at the two of them expressionlessly, his mind filled with astonishment, unable to recover for a long time.

When Da Ping was in the company, I couldn't find any opportunities to improve relationships. After Da Ping left, wouldn't I have even fewer opportunities?

But he wanted to go out and run a restaurant, and all the preparations were already in place, so there was nothing I could do to stop him.

Watching Doma Taihei and Honma Takeshi's departing figures, Alex leaned close to Kongo Ye's ear and whispered:

"Minister, if we don't chase after them now, it will be too late!"

Jin Gangye hesitated for a moment, looking at the ground with a heart full of unease:

"It's still working hours now, so we can contact Taiping later by phone."

......

After a brief reorganization and personnel adjustment, the restaurant, renamed Doma's, reopened the morning after Doma Taihei resigned.

"Brother, I want to eat this! And this too..."

"it is good."

Taihei Doma, dressed in a chef's uniform, waited until Umaru finished ordering before turning to look at Masamune and Mashiro sitting opposite her.

"What do you want to eat?"

“Just like Umaru,” Masamune said with a smile.

“Same.” Mashiro repeated.

"it is good."

After Doma Taihei left, Umaru still stared blankly at his retreating figure.

"I never expected my brother to become the head chef of the restaurant. It feels so strange."

“Well… you’ll get used to it over time. I think Taira is very suitable for this job.” Masamune smiled and then said, “As a restaurant owner, he may be quite busy right now, but once the restaurant is on track, he will gradually have more free time.”

"I know, but... my brother is so serious about everything he does, it's really worrying. But running a restaurant is better than being a corporate slave, at least it's more lucrative."

Turning to the window and looking at the street scene below, Doma Umaru suddenly thought of a question.

"Mr. Masamune, is today's meal free, or is it on a pay-your-own-way basis? This three-story private room with such a beautiful view must be very expensive, right?"

"It's my treat," Masamune said without the slightest hesitation.

"Huh...? Wasn't it free?"

"On the first day of the restaurant's reopening, we already offered discounts to attract customers. If we offered it for free again, it wouldn't be good for the business. Besides, it's a business-to-business and personal matter. If we offer it for free this time, how can I possibly come back next time?"

"Well... at least we should split the bill."

"No, since I invited you here, I should definitely treat you. Please don't be shy about it."

To avoid her dwelling on the issue any further, Masamune changed the subject and said:

"To be honest, we're sitting in a private room on the third floor, so we can't see the main hall on the first floor. We don't know how many guests there are. If there aren't many guests during mealtimes, it could cause some trouble later."

"Hmm...that is a very serious problem."

Doma Umaru quickly ran to the door and looked outside.

Soon, Benba, who had escorted several guests to another private room, walked over and asked curiously.

"What's wrong, Umaru?"

"Bengba, how's the foot traffic today? How many customers?"

“There are many, one after another. It’s just that the time is too short, otherwise I could have used my connections to invite more guests to come and support us.”

"Your connections?"

Because he wasn't very familiar with Bengba, Doma Umaru didn't know if what he said was true or false, so he could only try to believe it for the time being.

“When Da Ping and I worked at the previous service company, we met a lot of people. Today the restaurant is reopening, so I thought I'd invite people who live nearby to come and try Da Ping's cooking. I have a lot of confidence in Da Ping's cooking skills. If we promote it more, we'll soon have a group of regular customers.”
