Story No.27
Life is not all roses.
  • That's it! I've decided today that I am quitting this job!
  • If you say so, but that's sad!
  • As I see it I'm not cut out for sales, I'm not good at talking and I'm actually fed up with bowing my head in front of customers I don't like.
  • Well, then what's next? If you do not like sales, then would you want to be an engineer?
  • I think I want to be a company president.
  • What? Are you out of your mind? What kind of company president? Do you think that just by wanting to be one, you will become one just like that?
  • I want to start my own company. I want to sell Chinese diet tea.
  • How do you think you can sell Chinese tea when you say that you're not good at sales? How absurd!
  • No! This tea will definitely sell! Once they know how tasty this tea is, it will sell in this Diet trend society!
  • Don't be so sure!
  • Surely it'll do well! Around next year, my income will be around 10 Million! I'll be driving a convertible and I'll hire a pretty secretary.
  • Life is not so simple and straightforward! Things don't always go according to plan.
  • That's not true! You'll be used by your boss forever because you won't take any kind of action, you'll just think about it! I want to open a Chinese diet tea shop in Manhattan!
  • Are you serious?
