I run a tofu shop, and you want me to go to Akina Mountain?

Chapter 171: Just a Small Win

This guy was sitting by the window, smoking and laughing. Obviously he heard the entire conversation between Koichiro Iketani and Takumi Fujiwara.

Iketani Koichiro, Fujiwara Takumi, and Kenji all looked at Tachibana Yuichi.

"What are you looking at!"

"Well, Shu will come to work tomorrow, and you are not allowed to discuss the employees' private affairs anymore!"

Tachibana Yuichi suppressed his laughter and spoke loudly to maintain his boss's dignity.

"oh oh."

In response to Tachibana Yuichi's warning, Kenji and Iketani Koichiro immediately stopped laughing.

They also gave face to Tachibana Yuu, after all, he was the boss.

"Takumi, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you alone." Tachibana Yu said to Fujiwara Takumi with a serious expression while smoking at the gas station, and then he walked into the office of the gas station.

"Okay." Fujiwara Takumi agreed, wanting to see what Tachibana Yuichi was up to.

He first parked the 86 in the parking space next to him so as not to block the refueling area, said hello to Koichiro Iketani and Kenji, and then went into the office.

I saw Tachibana Yuichi lighting another cigarette.

Tachibana Yuichi smokes too fast.

Fujiwara Takumi was surprised.

Tachibana Yuichi is like a chimney.

No, even smoked meat wouldn't keep smoking, let alone at a gas station, but Tachibana Yuichi can do it, and he's a wonder. He only smokes at gas stations, never anywhere else. Fujiwara Takumi has participated in many car races and has seen Tachibana Yuichi many times, but he's never seen him smoke anywhere else, it seems he only smokes at gas stations.

Such a hobby makes people feel a little helpless.

"Boss Yuichi, do you have anything to talk to me about?" Fujiwara Takumi asked softly after finding Tachibana Yuichi.

"Takumi, this... Actually, there's nothing special. I just wanted to ask about your family's situation. I heard that the tofu shop business is getting better and better, so you shouldn't go back to work part-time at the gas station, right?"

Tachibana Yuichi asked Fujiwara Takumi to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and spoke enthusiastically. As a fan of Fujiwara Takumi, Tachibana Yuichi's attitude did not surprise Fujiwara Takumi.

But Fujiwara Takumi didn't want to drink this water at all, because Tachibana Yuichi's office smelled too strongly of cigarette smoke.

"Well, I won't be coming back to the gas station."

Fujiwara Takumi nodded.

He can now easily buy a dozen small gas stations like the Akina Gas Station, so why would he still work for others?

Besides, business at my own store is booming, so I can just sit back and count the money.

"Okay." Tachibana Yu nodded, looking a little disappointed.

As a fan of Fujiwara Takumi, Tachibana Yuichi naturally hopes that Fujiwara Takumi can return to the Akina gas station, so that he can spend more time with his idol and get the latest news about Fujiwara Takumi's racing at the first time, so as to arrange to watch the race. Tachibana Yuichi asked this question with some selfish motives, and he also expected Fujiwara Takumi's denial.

But Tachibana Yuichi still misses the past days.

"Takumi, come to think of it, you first made your mark in the racing world while working at my gas station. It's really an honor for me."

Tachibana Yuichi said with emotion.

"That's true." Fujiwara Takumi nodded in admission. This was undeniable.

Tachibana Yuichi's gas station does have its meaning to him.

"Takumi, do you know that your father bought a car?" Tachibana Yuichi said suddenly.

Fujiwara Takumi raised his eyebrows slightly, and at this moment, he realized the real intention of Tachibana Yuichi to chat with him!

"You mean one car, not two?"

Fujiwara Takumi asked.

“Two?”

Tachibana Yu was stunned for a moment.

He felt that he was speechless because of Fujiwara Takumi's words.

"Yes, there are two."

“One is a truck used to transport tofu.”

Fujiwara Takumi nodded and explained.

“What’s the other car?”

Tachibana Yuichi asked immediately.

"Manager Yuichi, I think you should know the other car very well. There is no need for me to tell you specifically, right?"

At this time, Fujiwara Takumi listened to Tachibana Yuichi's words, narrowed his eyes and smiled and asked back. In his opinion, everything was as clear as opening a God's perspective. He knew exactly what Tachibana Yuichi would say next. This had nothing to do with mind reading.

The human mind can turn thousands of corners in an instant.

There is no such thing as real mind reading, it's all bullshit.

"Takumi, the second car your dad bought was a blue Impreza."

Tachibana Yuichi said.

"Well, you are right."

After hearing this, Fujiwara Takumi was unusually calm, with neither joy nor sadness on his face, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Um?"

"Takumi, so you knew your dad bought a new car? Did Fujiwara Bunta tell you?"

Tachibana Yuichi was surprised. When he bought the car, Fujiwara Bunta had specifically told him not to tell Fujiwara Takumi about it. Tachibana Yuichi felt a little upset. It turned out that Fujiwara Bunta didn't let him tell because he wanted to tell it himself.

"no."

Fujiwara Takumi shook his head.

"Then how did you know that?"

Tachibana Yuichi took the opportunity to ask.

"At that time, on the Akina Mountain, the Impreza suddenly appeared behind me, obviously wanting to race with me, so I guessed that car must be my dad's."

Fujiwara Takumi explained.

"What!?"

"Did you know that Bunta is a racing driver?"

Tachibana Yuichi was quite surprised.

"My dad has been training me in racing. If I can't even guess this, wouldn't I be a fool?" Fujiwara Takumi asked back.

"And my dad must have been a very good racing driver when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have trained me so professionally and found an 86 suitable for novices to practice on."

Fujiwara Takumi continued.

"All right."

Tachibana Yuichi nodded in extreme surprise.

This explanation is quite reasonable.

"That's not right. Even if you know your dad is a racing driver, how can you be sure that the blue Impreza is your dad's?"

Tachibana Yuichi continued to ask questions.

"Guess."

"From your reaction now, I guessed right. After all, you are very familiar with my father, and your attitude now says it all."

Said Fujiwara Takumi.

This is a reason Fujiwara Takumi made up casually.

You can't say that he traveled through time. Even if you tell him, Tachibana Yuichi may not believe it.

"oops!"

"Takumi, you are the smartest person I have ever met."

Tachibana Yuichi gave Fujiwara Takumi a thumbs up.

"Takumi, speaking of which, when you and your dad were competing in that blue Impreza at Akina Mountain, who won in the end?"

Tachibana Yuichi suddenly became serious and thought of a crucial question.

"Well...I won."

Fujiwara Takumi rubbed his nose and told the truth.

"What!?"

"You won!?"
