Episode 2 plot synopsis
After the menu change controversy, what awaits Hinako ( Takahata Mitsuki ) is a series of choices, whether it is web design, restaurant decoration, or what to eat. The wine and the nuts to use were all waiting for her to decide, leaving her breathless. When she was worried about what to do, Hinako discovered that her subordinate Da Ya (Shizun Jun) seemed to have his own opinions and standard answers to all this, just like finding driftwood in the vast ocean, so Hinako had to Choose to ignore Da Ya's arrogance and rudeness, leave everything to him, and enjoy yourself in peace and quiet. Only the name of the store, she insisted, must be decided by herself.
A big sign with "Petit Bonheur" written in front of the restaurant means that the restaurant is about to open. The name of the store "Petit Bonheur" means "petit bonheur" in French. It expresses Hinako's hope that the customers who come here and the employees who work here can feel the petit bonheur, and everyone is very satisfied with it.
However, the opening day was unexpectedly crowded. No matter how much we waited, only a few customers came. Distributing leaflets on the streets was ineffective, and morale was suddenly greatly reduced. At this time, after being reminded by her best friend Tomomi Sasagawa ( Kaho ), Hinako discovered that there was another popular Italian restaurant opening nearby that day. Hinako went straight there, and followed closely behind her. Da Ya stood stunned at the door of this Italian restaurant.
There was a long line of people in front of this Italian restaurant, and even the media came to interview. The situation was very different from their French restaurant. So the two pretended to be customers and went to the store to spy on the military situation, and then they discovered the pricing of this restaurant. It's similar to them, and they even have an opening special, so it would be strange if customers didn't flock here. At this time, suddenly a familiar face came to them. This person turned out to be the son of the Nogami Group and the director of the Nogami Catering Planning and Strategy Department, Go Nogami ( Kasamatsu), who had been introduced to Hinako by President Asami on an important occasion. will ).
This restaurant is a newly opened restaurant under Noshang Catering. Mr. Nogami, who looks like a smiling tiger, has a kind face, but his words are sarcastic: "Speaking of which, I heard that President Asami is particularly concerned about this restaurant, so we are preparing cautiously! But it seems that we are worrying too much. "Obviously Nogami is here for them.
At the end of the first day of opening, the restaurant's business was terrible. Only then did they realize that they had made a big mistake. It turned out that the location of the restaurant was not printed on the promotional leaflet at all, so of course customers couldn't come to them! Da Ya, who was responsible for the final confirmation, realized that this was his own negligence and said that he would definitely arrange for reprinting before tomorrow morning. But everyone knows that in order not to distance themselves from the Nogami Group, they must come up with other strategies. Oga suggested considering lowering prices to attract customers, but was opposed by Miyauchi Tsuyoshi ( Arakawa Yoshiyoshi ), who believed that this was only a temporary solution, not a long-term solution. Hinako, who always kept a smile and kept silent, was pushed by Miyama and Lake (Maho Yamada), and then she remembered what she should say at this time, and quickly summarized it for everyone, so that everyone could take their places.
Sensing Taiga's guilt, Hinako made an appointment with Taiga at Izakaya , hoping to comfort him, but Hinako made a wrong decision, which was to marry Taiga's college girl Yumizuko ( Yuki Katayama). ) is called.Not only did the other party not play a good role in comforting him, but he also kept going after the president, making Da Ya more and more unhappy. After finally waiting for Shuike to leave, Hinako and Da Ya finally had a big quarrel, accusing each other that the other party made them unhappy. The more and more noisy they got, they looked like two elementary school students bickering. They were inexplicably cute!
After the leaflet was corrected, business did not improve. Hinako was half-heartedly distributing flyers at the playground near the restaurant. When she got discouraged, she sat on a stool and started her daily routine - muttering to herself that she might as well just quit her job and get married. At this time, a voice came from beside him: "Do you want to resign?" When he came back to his senses, it turned out that President Asami was already sitting next to him. The president said that he had just been to the restaurant and found that there were no customers. Hinako showed a disappointed expression.
At this time, President Asami suddenly mentioned the incident when Hinako attended the training camp for new employees in Karuizawa. He said that he remembered that Hinako ate fried rice and fried noodles at that time, which left a deep impression on him. He claimed that about Hinako He remembered many things, especially the plan Hinako submitted during the training camp. Only then did Hinako realize that President Asami had always known that Hinako had submitted an old plan. After the president
left, a cute little boy asked Hinako for the flyer she was holding, and then yelled to his mother that he wanted to go to this restaurant to eat. The mother said that it is not convenient for children to go to a French restaurant, but she has been unable to resist her son's insistence. Hinako then walked forward and said that there was no one in the restaurant anyway, and she was welcome to come with her son.
Mother and son received warm hospitality from everyone in the restaurant. Not only was the son happy, but even the mother was suddenly moved to tears. It turned out that she had not been to a restaurant like this for a long time since she had a child, and she felt the joy of enjoying delicious food for the first time in a long time. After seeing off the mother and son, Daya returned to the restaurant with large and small bags. It turned out that he was trying to find lower-cost ingredients for the restaurant business, hoping to lower the restaurant's menu prices and attract customers with prices. Before the chef could speak, Hinako was struck by this idea.
Da Ya actually knows that letting the restaurant fall into a vicious price war is not the answer, but it is better than nothing. At this time, Hinako mentioned how a mother and her son came to visit just now, and Da Ya suddenly had an idea. He thought that maybe he could hold a family day event on the weekends where the sales volume was already low, so that children could eat for free, so as to increase the reputation of the restaurant. . Although colleagues in the company were not in favor of it at first, they finally agreed after the president's efforts to persuade them.
The event really worked. Many parents came with their children, and the restaurant was noisy. Although it was still far behind the Nogami Group, there was finally some progress. Hinako did not forget to thank Taiya, saying that she, a useless president, was lucky to be able to get through the difficulties with their help. At this time, Taiga got rid of his usual arrogance and said to Hinako: "As long as we can overcome the difficulties together, isn't it?" Taiga, who had always been a loner, finally got the idea~ with a cute smile. The distance between the two has also become closer.
At this time, the president came to visit. He was very satisfied with the bustling scene of the restaurant, and came to dine with his female companion, the business consultant Hiyama Rinko (Yuka). Hinako was very curious about the relationship between Miss Hiyama and the president. At the same time, she was annoyed by the chef's casual assumption that the two were boyfriend and girlfriend. Even she herself couldn't explain how she felt. Is she jealous?
At this time, Miss Hiyama noticed that the president's eyes had been fixed on Hinako and said, "That girl is not simple! She can actually make you show such an expression." The president just smiled and did not answer. Hinako took advantage of seeing the president off and when the two were alone, she took the opportunity to ask why she was chosen even though she knew it was an old plan. The president's answer was: "Because I was shocked by you." Then he touched her head, cheered her up and left.Hinako was left confused by this sudden head-touching attack, and this scene happened to be seen by Da Ya who was passing by... (to be continued)
Coming to the second episode, the complaints continued unabated! Mainly because the show is advertised as a love career drama, but there are too many unreasonable plot points in the career aspect. For example, it is a restaurant owned by a big company, but there is no publicity preparation for the newly opened restaurant. It is obviously in the Internet age. But they just want to attract customers by handing out flyers. The young master of the Nogami Group was indeed right. They regarded Petit Banheur as a strong enemy at first, but they were really overly worried.
In fact, what makes the editor more concerned is that it is obvious that I am lazy and hand over all responsibilities to my subordinates, but when something goes wrong, I look at my subordinates who feel guilty for making mistakes with a kind face. This is really funny! The heroine's character would be more likable if she came out immediately and admitted that she also needs to bear most of the responsibility when everyone is discussing countermeasures. However, the scene of the two arguing in the izakaya is quite cute ~
In addition, what caused more controversy is probably the misunderstanding of French restaurants in the show. Some Japanese viewers said that they saw the most romantic French restaurant becoming similar to McDonald's It’s no different. It’s really unjustifiable. These unprofessional parts make people laugh.
Despite this, the editor is still looking forward to the triangle relationship in the play! The two male leads and the second male are still charming enough for me to keep watching. Next week, it is predicted that Hinako will welcome her long-lost love. It seems that she is so tired from balancing work and love that she is in Da Ya's arms...
