Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

"Why did I tell you this story... you know?

Ji's story goes on...

"That's because your learning… has moved on to a new phase"

Did I... move on?

"Until now, you've been under Keko... that is, located at the bottom of the organization"

That's right... Sister Keko gives instructions and I make bread.

Ning and Kanasen pies were only helping the seller......

As a student of "Bread Course," I was the only one who was officially interned in the workshop...

"but... not from now on"

Yeah...... because love has been transferred to 'Pan Course'.

"I hear the new people who come in are your age... but you're going to be a senior at work"

Ji looks at me... and laughs at me.

"Not only Keko, but you also... have to coach the newcomer"

"... right"

In fact, I've already taught love a lot about baking.

"Try coaching others...... how did you feel?

...... eh.

"Something I had learned before and thought I already knew enough... to explain to people that I had a new discovery or... 'Oh, this is what I'm doing for these reasons' or... more than ever, I know about my job"

Because what I sensibly understood also has to be translated into theoretical language in order to speak to people......

Especially in line with the slow speed of thought of love, explaining….

"What I should have known," but I could realise, really, even that it meant something deeper.

"That's right. Explaining and teaching to people means… reaffirming the content of the work even for themselves. That's very important."

Ji, look at me.

"Keiko-kun and your business... you two won't be the only ones"

Me and my sister Keko's bakery... we can't do it alone.

Ji is right.

Even now... the sellers are getting help from Ning...

The cheaper 50 yen bread is made by Mana and Anise.

"I'll have to hire someone one of these days. Besides, the human may not have the skills or experience necessary to carry out your business. No, most of the time I would."

I have worked in a bakery and someone who can already make and bake bread...... not necessarily come to me and my sister Keko's store.

Indeed, if we recruit employees now… many of us have never made bread before.

"You... as long as you continue with your business, you'll have to coach your employers all the time, because not all the people who will be working under you for ten or twenty years."

Oh... the bakery keeps changing like a part-time kid or something.

You can't work in our bakery if you go to school or get a job...

Moving to a different city or something......

More like, I was simply going to do some other work......

Even people who really don't care about me and want to quit will come out.

"Even my corporate group, yes. Every year, new employees come in... every year, there is a new training. 'Instruction' must continue as long as the company survives."

... right.

If I'm going to do a bakery... ten or twenty years from now... do I have to teach the new people who come in about the bread?

"You... you have to be aware of that now"

Teaching love to bake means......

Without a close relationship between me and love......

I have to think of it as an exercise in how I'm going to 'mentor' my newbie in the future... as a bakery.

"You... are going to be the proprietor. Not an employer."

Ji looks at me with a straight face.

"Employers... because it's my job to do what I've arranged in a contract with the management to 'do this kind of work'. It is up to the management to decide what work to do, what procedure to follow, and how to proceed. I mean... you think. You decide what you want your employer to do… in fact, you will 'coach' them so that the work will proceed"

What will you do to someone who will work for you......

How do I get everyone to work the way I want them to...

All in all, I think... I have to coach.

"Of course, from an employer who actually works in the field: 'How is it more efficient?' You will be able to ask your opinion. But the employer's opinion... is only an opinion. It's up to you to decide. Managers have an obligation to be responsible"

The… responsibility of the management.

"If that doesn't work, it's your fault. Work may be delayed, the employers may be dissatisfied and quit. Especially if you feel that the work you're asking for... is not worth the price."

Consideration…… wages…… money.

"No, it's not just about the money... Sometimes employers work for me, even if my wages are a little low, if they feel it's the job they deserve to work hard with passion. A little bit. As far as I can manage to eat it... If life cannot be established, there is no one to do any attractive work. He's gonna die."

"Oh, I can't believe people want to work for free... aren't there actually?"

"Stupid like that, sometimes. But... they're not forcing me into life. So you say something stupid like that. There are also people who have trouble eating tomorrow... especially people with children, who can't possibly say 'I want to work for free' etc. If you say that... it's madness."

Ji... says so.

"There are no 'people working for free' in this world. Don't be. Labor must always have a consideration. That's why volunteering as a social activity without asking for consideration can be a valuable act."

"But... although I've heard of such disciples as gossipers and 'working for free'..."

"Uhm......" Apprentice ", which has been around for such a long time, or" naive service "of Edo-era merchants, didn't get paid. Occasionally, I get a small allowance from my master or husband..."

After all, it worked for free.

"But instead… minimal clothing and accommodation were guaranteed. I can't eat a full tummy, but I won't starve. There is also a place to sleep. I can even give you something to wear."

of clothing and living...... warranty.

"It means I'm not a slave. Minimum required must be given"

Ji, hun and snort.

"So being someone's apprentice or being merchant polite... I don't have trouble eating somehow. It meant we could live for sure. That means a lot in modern society before Meiji."

Oh... if starving to death is the time when it was possible...

"To the contrary... a visiting artist takes one apprentice, which means the man has the power to just feed one apprentice. It's impossible for a master to take a disciple for his own clothing and lodging... and he won't be forgiven. That is the original… relationship between the master and the disciple"

Because I guarantee a minimum of clothing and accommodation… can I ask my disciples to work for free?

"And the disciple accompanies the master for almost twenty-four hours... working in the adjoining seat. I don't do any other work. Look at the arts of the master and other artists...... polish your own arts. Eventually, we start to do the master's front seat… From there, wages arise. At first it's an early hour appearance with just opened seats... few guests either. And if the arts become appreciated, they start appearing a little late. The salary also goes up, eventually independent from the master"

That's... the former entertainer.

"So lately... when I don't have a performing arts job, I don't understand that there are entertainers who are eating part-time. Why isn't their master guaranteeing them clothing and shelter? Young people like just not starving, just having something to wear, just not outside to wake up may not be around anymore in modern times..."

Before that...... there are a lot of artists without a master.

"But any job...... being in the field of that job for a long time and gaining experience should be the most important thing. No matter how many part-time jobs I do, I don't think the arts will improve. Wherever you go, I think it's just an extension of student artist Gocco."

Hmm.

"Well, fine. Let's get back to it. Anyway...... no one in this world works for free in any way in return. But as long as the minimum amount of clothing and accommodation is guaranteed... there are people who can work with it."

Ji says...

"What the world calls a black company... I guess you're good at discerning there. Identify wages and working environments that are truly critical for you to live in… you will be torturing your employers in Seto without killing them alive."

"But... sure, someone at the company couldn't work... and some of them were dead?

"Companies like that are no longer even companies. It is the companies that keep their employers alive. It's a disgrace to let people who work for my company die"

...... yeah.

"In the first place, managers like to expose themselves to the press if they do it... not to mention running for office... it's less than second class as a company"

Yes... what.

"Really horrible managers...... don't like being on the table. Hidden. Those guys are much stronger."

... I see.

"Well... if it's a critical wage, we talked about some people working. Now let's talk about the opposite."

Ji, change the story.

"Conversely...... wages are very high. Much better pay than people. However...... daily work is irresistibly boring. I just feel like I'm wasting my time. It doesn't do the world any good... I think it's a waste of work. Imagine someone in that profession..."

Oh... every day, I go to my office, I don't have a lot of work.

But only the pay...... mess is good.

"That kind of work... would you?

I...

"I... don't think I can. No matter how good the money is."

Such a life... I don't feel alive...

"I'm sure you are… many people can stand such a job"

"Oh, yeah?

"Oh... no matter how boring the job is... rather than just that kind of work, the holidays are sure to come. No matter how boring your working hours are... with money, other times will be meaningful"

Hey, I see...

"People like that... are there for you. Not all highly paid people work in full swing. High pay and job descriptions are not proportionate."

Ji says...

"... you got the Shirazaka TV station during this time, didn't you?

Oh, oh... Ji took management away from the Shirazaka main house.

"I looked it up... and they say there's a full-time distributor on that TV station."

"Hi Shagakari?"

"Oh, the TV station is... you call a cab because when all sorts of people come home. They say they have employees who specialize in calling that taxi."

"Huh... you'd come if I contacted you normally like that, wouldn't you?

For each show...... you think the staff will contact you?

No, I guess Mr. Talent has a manager or something... so you can call him yourself.

"But for some reason... there's a department that specializes in car distribution, where full-time employees work, and they pay the same high salaries as other employees."

"Why?"

"I don't know. The bigger the company... there's an inexplicable department or clerk."

"I became a TV station employee because of this... it wouldn't be funny to arrange a taxi from morning to evening"

"But he's a full-time employee, he's well paid, he's got a social status... he's not quitting, no matter how boring the job is."

...... ha.

"Come on...... Kuromori-kun. You, too, will eventually become a business owner. What do you think... of the wages of your employers?

Ji chuckled nigga.

"Do you only pay the minimum amount of money you can live? Or... will all the money you make go around your employer's wages?

... it is.

"Well... it's out of the question that you only pay critical... because it doesn't make sense and it's hard to pay higher"

Right...... it doesn't necessarily mean good people will work hard because they got paid higher?

"Once… each province determines what is called the minimum wage. Pay more than that. Naturally..."

First...... Whatever you do, you have to make as much money as you can pay the minimum wage.

The price of the bread and the setting of the cost... I need to think about that.

Only to make sure that the wages are paid properly to those who work for me... because I absolutely have to protect them.

"So... how do you set wages for an employer who will work for you in your business?

I... wanted to pay the people who would work for me as much as I could when I made money.

"Nice. Employers are... look at the amount of 'wages' you've shown me and they're coming in. Of course, a lot of people will apply if it's expensive"

Yes... I will continue to recruit people to work for me.

As long as I keep baking... recruiting, hiring, and mentoring people all the time.

"But as a matter of reality... there are limits to the wages you can pay"

Yeah...... without thinking about management, if I was paying a high wage, the store would crumble.

"So we're going to give you a critical high wage to the limit you can pay? Is that all right? Somewhat, keep your wages down...... shouldn't that money be spent on stores and other parts of the product? Shouldn't we be thinking about investing in that kind of area to further grow our revenues?

Ji, go on with the words.

"Some of the employers who work for me all make a difference in technology. What difference do you make then? Look at only your abilities entirely and increase your wages? Or does anyone who's been around for a long time raise their wages uniformly? What about the difference with newbies?

Hiring people means... there's a lot going on.

"You have to set your policy. And that policy… determines the quality of the people who apply for your business, regardless of your business"

Oh...... you can't just make delicious bread.

We need to make it a store where good staff come to work......

"Now I've just said wages… there's a lot of treatment, benefits, working conditions, things to think about"

...... yeah.

"How do I recruit to meet the people you want... you should think about it. That determines your success or failure."

It's not a simple problem... is it?

I have a lot to think about... "

"There's so much to think about..."

"That's right. If you're going to be the proprietor..."

Ji chuckled.

"So... back to the first story"

... Huh?

"If you're going to be a business owner... the only way to fail others is to be tolerant"

... Ah.

Are you talking about 'don't worry about failure'...

"The hire... not you. Many managers hit unsuccessful employers saying, 'How can you not do it when it's easy for you to do it?' That's a mistake."

...... yeah.

"Managers and employers are different. Different position. Different responsibilities. Different thoughts about the company. For managers, the company is itself. Profits and valuations...... all become my achievements. But the employer... sometimes attaches himself to the company, but the only responsibility is to the extent of the authority that the person is given. No matter how profitable you make to the company… it will only be enough to increase your next salary slightly. I'm gonna be that individual's track record."

Ji says...

"The new product that has been hit... it is normal to only become famous for the name of the company. Who made it is unknown to the public. Beyond the company, the world has come to know that it is an individual achievement… about a blue light emitting diode."

Right...... famous appliances or something. Because I know what company product it is......

I don't know who made it.

"So… managers should not expect employers to have 'the same enthusiasm, effort or impossibility as they do'. Of course, there are people who work hard... but it's wrong for us to expect them from the beginning."

Something like 'I'm trying'... don't tell anyone who works for me.

I'm in a different position.

"As I said earlier...... mistakes and troubles are bound to happen. People absolutely fail. Impossible, such as everything going no trouble. That's reality."

...... oh.

"So... if you're going to be a business owner too, you know it's only natural for the people who work to fail."

For once, if you're angry, you can't make it.

"Of course, scolding is scolding. Attention is drawn. That's true... unless the other person is someone you can't help, forget it's over."

"Well... it's possible that the person made a mistake or caused trouble... and that my guidance was poor."

"That's the thing. Especially the newcomers...... I just have to take a big look at them. You should look at how you coach yourself over and over again."

"... yeah"

"Except... if the other person feels like they can't help it"

Ji says...

"Fire me immediately. Some people in the world don't know what to say. People like that... even scolding you for failure is a waste of time"

Oh, oh......

Some people are like Shirazaka Chuansuke and Sizario Viola.

"When you hire a lot of people in... those guys get mixed up, too. If you feel like, 'Oh, this guy's dangerous,' cut him off as spat as you can. You can let him grip some money. Smile. It's okay...... they're used to getting hung up too. If I get any money at all... I'll forget about you or your company"

Oh well... do we have to think about how troubled people are going to get mixed up?

"Anyway... don't prolong it. For a long time, when I dive into your company... people like that spit out poison. It also has a negative impact on other employers. 'This is an easy place,' he says, 'and if they sit down, it's gonna be hard to kick them out, too."

"Okay. I'll make sure to kick him out as soon as I know."

I took my notebook out of my pocket... and wrote down what Ji said was important.

"It's time... Are you sure?

... Huh?

When I looked up... Rukiko was there.

"I brought tea to your grandfather… I brought coffee to your brother and sister"

"Uhm...... thanks, Rukiko"

Ji smiles and says thank you.

Rukiko... leaves the cup in front of us.

Ah... I did.

"... what is it?

Rukiko smiles at me...

No, I was obsessed with talking to Ji, and I totally forgot.

Awww.

The ladies of the famous house who are around us...

As always, keep this one on the lookout...... scene.

"But... about your husband."

With a slightly louder voice, Misumu said.

"My grandfather told me about the management directly..."

... What?

"Hmmm... I wouldn't talk this far by myself with the guys from my 'private school' either"

Ji said...

"Well, I can't help it. I don't want Kuromori-kun to be a good proprietor. Even for missouri..."

The 'chi' of the ladies around me creeps.

"Well, Grandfather...... is that all?

Nico smiles at his grandfather.

"Of course not..."

Ji saw me.

"Me too... I like Kuromori-kun...!
