Start living in Tokyo by inheriting the shopping street

Chiba Shuichi didn't notice her dangerous gaze. He was just surprised by her sudden change of tone, as she was extremely alert just now.

He looked at Ogawa Fumika in the corner, who seemed to be burned by his gaze and lowered her head in panic, avoiding the eye contact.

Unable to get any useful information, Chiba Shuichi suppressed his doubts and asked Ogawa Sayuki, "What kind of business are you planning to run? Which store have you set your sights on?"

"Gym." Ogawa Sayuki tilted her head slightly to one side. "The one next door looks good to me. It can be next to my sister. Of course, I'm the manager. We can sign the contract today."

"Gym?" Chiba Shuichi frowned slightly. "In that case, the one next door isn't very suitable, right? It's about the same size as this one, and can't hold so many machines."

"That's enough." Ogawa Sayuki smiled, "I'm going to open a women's gym, with small classes and private training, a membership system, not a foot traffic gym.

The courses are mainly body shaping and fat reduction courses such as Pilates and yoga, with less strength training and not many large equipment required. "

Chiba Shuichi suddenly realized, "Indeed, I heard that these types of women's gyms are very popular recently. Some time ago, I seemed to have seen a women's gym that made 20 billion yen a year."

Ogawa Sayuki nodded and looked very serious when talking about career planning.

"That's right. It can also cooperate well with my sister's beauty salon. After the guests finish working out, they can go directly to her place to enjoy the essential oil spa and relieve the symptoms of limb aches and pains."

Essential oil spa...

Hearing this word, Qianye Xiu's eyelids twitched slightly, and the white and tender thigh meat before unconsciously emerged in his mind, as well as the abyss that had a mental attack effect and could capture people's minds.

Ogawa Sayuki keenly noticed his abnormality, and the smile on her lips became even more strange, "How about it? Two rooms are okay? When we officially open for business, Chiba-san can come and try it for free."

Chiba Shuichi immediately came to his senses, and while appearing to be thinking seriously, he actually checked the system interface and then gave a quote.

"If you decide to choose the one next door, the rent is also 200,000 yen per month, with no deposit and no key money."

Ogawa Sayuki nodded with satisfaction, "Deal, let's sign the contract now."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for this." Chiba Shuichi shook his head slightly.

Ogawa Sayuki's eyebrows immediately raised. Sure enough, there must be a problem? Did she have to pay some "bribe" first?

Chiba Shuichi noticed the change in her expression, but didn't pay much attention to it. He just shrugged and said, "I need to wait for the butler to handle the formalities."

"Butler?" Ogawa Sayuki was stunned. Is this guy the young master of some big family?

Qianye Xiu nodded slightly and said lightly, "Yes."

……

The two Mrs. Ogawa followed Chiba Shuichi back to the management office, sat on the chairs, and waited quietly for the so-called housekeeper with complicated feelings.

Ogawa Sayuki thought, no wonder he has impure thoughts at such a young age, he is a young master from a wealthy family...

Ogawa Fumika fidgeted and crossed her legs. Her sister's previous words made her feel very uneasy. She didn't know what Chiba-san would think of her.

She wanted to tell her sister that she was leaving, but she found it difficult to speak after several attempts. Her head was dizzy and she didn't know what to say.

Chiba Shuichi was busy sitting in the office, checking the materials needed to rent a house that the two of them brought with them, preparing the standard contract provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, etc.

He glanced at the two of them from time to time, wondering why the twin wives suddenly changed their minds.

Ten minutes later, an old man with gray hair and wearing a butler's uniform arrived and bowed to Chiba Shuichi.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, he signed the contract, nodded to the two ladies, and left.

Chiba Shuichi met this housekeeper once when the money was transferred into the system. The other party was a tool arranged by the system and was responsible for the management of the shopping street.

He is also the steward of the wealthy distant relative who apparently left behind an inheritance.

As long as it is about the contract, he will be there at any time until he meets the system conditions and becomes the real master of the shopping street.

The subsequent contract reporting and other procedures will also be completed by him, so Chiba Shuichi doesn't need to worry about it.

After the contract was signed, the Ogawa sisters looked at each other.

"Okay, from now on you two will be part of the shopping street, please take good care of me." Chiba Shuichi sat on the chair and said with a smile.

Ogawa Fumika responded in panic, "We are here, please take care of us, Chiba-san."

"I really need your care." Ogawa Sayuki glanced at Chiba Shuichi with a smile, while Ogawa Fumika next to her almost buried her head in her chest in embarrassment.

Looking at the two people's reactions, Chiba Shuichi took out his cell phone thoughtfully.

"You two should use LINE, right? You can add me. If you have any questions or need help, you can always ask me."

"Of course, does Chiba-san think we are old ladies?"

Ogawa Saw gave him a white look. Even though her tone was dissatisfied, her charming peach blossom eyes still made her look charming.

Chiba Shuichi laughed and looked at Ogawa Fumika, "If an old lady can be like you two, then it seems that Ogawa-san's beauty skills are good enough to win a Nobel Prize."

"No, it's not that serious." Ogawa Fumika waved her hands with a red face.

"Okay, Chiba-san, I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously. You'll look stupid." Ogawa Sayuki said unhappily.

After adding him as a LINE friend, she looked at Chiba Shuichi and said, "We have already wasted a lot of Chiba-san's time today. We will come to visit again tomorrow morning. Although we don't need a gift, we still need a gift since we are new here."

"It's okay for me to be casual here, but it's the shop owners in the shopping street who I really need to get to know." Chiba Shuichi suggested responsibly.

"You can see this shopping street. Um... it has a historical atmosphere. The shop owners here are mostly elderly and are more concerned about etiquette."

"Thank you."

Ogawa Sayuki understood that this was a kind reminder, and before getting up and leaving, she gave Chiba Shuichi a mysterious smile.

"Chiba-san, you might as well look forward to the souvenirs tomorrow morning."

Chapter 5 This System

"Why not look forward to the souvenirs?" Watching the two twin wives leave, Chiba Shuichi touched his chin and pondered the change in their attitudes.

"I don't know why, but you clearly misunderstood that I had bad intentions, but you still signed the contract. Does this mean..."

Chiba Shuichi took out a shirt button from his pocket and pondered for a while.

Thinking of the towering shirt, the tight hip skirt, the ripped stockings, and the snow-white skin that is about to burst out, I can't help but be moved.

"Maybe... we can give it a try?"

Chiba Shuichi doesn't intend to do anything that would force him, but if we both want to...

shhh-

Suddenly, a prompt sound rang in his mind, interrupting Chiba Shuichi's wandering thoughts. He quickly called up the system interface, only to see two flashing messages on it.

[Successfully signed a contract with an excellent store owner, administrator monthly salary + 100000 yen.] *2

There is a line of small notes below: [Excellent store owners can attract a large number of customers to the shopping street. It is the responsibility and obligation of managers to establish a stable and good relationship with excellent store owners and enhance the store owners' sense of belonging to the shopping street.]

There is also a line of smaller notes below the small print: [The criteria for being an excellent store owner include multiple dimensions, regardless of gender or age, and can be outstanding in any aspect such as appearance, ability, or intelligence.]

The annotation was so small that Chiba Shuichi didn't notice it, and then he was attracted by the new news - [Ogawa Fumika's sense of belonging +10, administrator's monthly salary +100000 yen. ]

Qianye Xiu was stunned. A sense of belonging? What the hell?

He quickly opened the system's shopping street map and found the store rented by the two Mrs. Ogawas.

I saw a cartoon avatar on each of the two stores, which showed two people. I clicked on one of the avatars and a character information card appeared.

But there wasn't much information, just a simple name and an attribute of a sense of belonging - [Ogawa Sayuki, sense of belonging: 10]

Chiba Xiu pondered for a moment and said, okay, if an excellent store owner has a sense of belonging to the shopping street and can run a stable business, the landlord can earn more, which is reasonable.

A sense of belonging, as the name suggests, is the feeling of being accepted and recognized by the shopping street, getting along harmoniously with other shop owners and managers in the shopping street, and having a sense of security and stability?

So that's why the system prompts you to get along well with excellent store owners? If you are happy living here and satisfied with the work of the administrator, it should help improve your sense of belonging, right?

But how do you judge an excellent store owner?

After thinking fruitlessly, Chiba Shuichi clicked on Ogawa Fumika's profile picture again.

[Ogawa Fumika, sense of belonging: 20]

How come she has ten more points than her sister? Is this "easy-to-bully" lady more likely to feel a sense of belonging than her sister? Is she relieved to have a place to stay after renting a shop?

After thinking about it for a while, he noticed that the shop they rented was obviously brighter than other shops, so he tried to click on the shop.

Sure enough, a store information popped up.

[Fitness room, current effect bonus: 10% (administrators can enjoy bonus: 100%). ]

Effect bonus?

Chiba Shuichi immediately looked at the small print below.

[Store performance bonus adaptive business project, associated store owner sense of belonging, up to 100%, administrators can enjoy up to 1000%. ]

Although what he said was still not precise enough, Chiba Shuichi already roughly understood the role of this effect bonus.

In other words, if you work out in the gym, with the current bonus, the effect in one day is equivalent to that of others in two days!

Chiba Xiuyi looked down at his slightly skinny arms, "Not bad, now I can easily get a good figure, but the bonus is still a little small, it would be better if it was higher..."

After seeing the results of Ogawa Sayuki's fitness studio, Chiba Shuichi clicked on Ogawa Fumika's beauty salon.

[Beauty shop, current effect bonus: 20% (administrators can enjoy bonus: 200%). ]

Chiba Shuichi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "It's a bit of a waste to have such a high bonus at a beauty salon. It would be great if it could be exchanged with a gym. My figure is my weakness right now."

Of course, just thinking about it, we can't let the two sisters exchange business projects, right?

After studying the new functions of these systems for a while, Chiba Shuichi turned his attention to the monthly salary.

When he took over this shopping street, the rent collected had nothing to do with him. He only received a monthly hard work fee of 100,000 yen. If he worked part-time and worked hard, he could get this amount.

It can only be said that it is barely enough.

Now, my monthly salary has increased to 400,000 yen, and I feel more financially comfortable.

Chiba Shuichi calculated silently. According to the system, the upper limit of sense of belonging was one hundred. That was to say, an excellent store owner could bring in a maximum monthly salary of one million yen!

If the entire shopping street, with 49 stores, were all turned into excellent store owners with a strong sense of belonging, the monthly salary would be million yen!

Oh, there’s a little extra, a basic hard work fee of 100,000 yen.

However, when he thought about the fact that he didn't make any business last month, Chiba Shuichi gave up his unrealistic idea.

Where can we find so many suitable shop owners to open stores?

Moreover, it is obviously not something that can be achieved overnight if one wants to maximize the sense of belonging.

While thinking about all sorts of things, Chiba Shuichi was flipping through the system interface to see if there were any other changes. Soon he discovered that the button for summoning the butler with one click had a new description.

[In the process of operating a shopping street, you may encounter many problems. The administrator can spend a certain amount of money to get help. ]

It doesn't cost money to summon a butler to sign a contract, but you need to pay to ask him to do other things?

Chiba Shuichi inexplicably had a bad feeling. Just after his monthly salary was increased, the system opened a channel to spend money. Why did this operation sound so much like the style of some big game companies?

Guruluulu~

Chiba Shuichi's stomach growled. He had been busy since school and it was getting dark now. It was time to have dinner.

He got up and went upstairs to change into casual clothes, then went to Yoshinoya at the corner of the shopping street to eat something. It wasn't very delicious, but it was enough to fill his stomach, and he didn't want to run any further.

While eating, he looked at the manager of Yoshinoya and wondered if there was any way to get them to find a better manager.

In that case, I can give them a cheaper rent and increase my monthly salary, which is a win-win situation.

That night, Chiba Shuichi had a dream. In the dream, he was wrapped in a soft white cloud, drifting on the Sumida River...

……

The next day, Chiba Shuichi was woken up by the alarm and climbed out of bed.

Logically speaking, with this shopping street, it doesn’t really matter whether I go to school or not. But firstly, the shopping street is not really in my hands yet, and I’m just getting a monthly salary now.

Secondly, people who have been beaten by society will always miss their school days, especially since school life in Japan can be so relaxed and colorful. Why not give it a try?

After washing up, Chiba Shuichi stuffed bread and milk into his schoolbag as breakfast and prepared to go out.

When he reached the door, he happened to run into the two Mrs. Ogawas.

Ogawa Fumika bowed with an evasive look and presented a box of snacks with both hands, "This is... I made the snacks myself, please accept it, Chiba-san. Sorry to bother you in the future."

Chiba Xiuyi took it with a smile, "Thank you."

Ogawa Sayuki handed over a small box with a weird smile, and said mysteriously: "Open it when no one is around, you will like it."
