Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: The Reason Theyre Hungry (3) (1/2)
Venice When hearing that word, many people may think about Shakespeare’s ‘The Merchant of Venice’ And of course, they will think about it as the location in Italy
Venice is definitely in Italy However, the Venice Jo Minjoon is currently in was not in Italy, but in California, located in the West side of LA in the Santa Monica neighborhood Beach Although it s and hotels, in reality, the neighborhood mainly consists of old villas and tiny aparthborhood an odd but beautiful nature People wearing swiled with each other, andfishi+ng or hiking
It was difficult to tell the tourists apart fro Was it an illusion? Or was it real? The main store for Rose Island was located here on Venice Beach
The ht was close to a two story building, however, it was still just a one story building The building could have been pulled out of ancient Greece, with its walls covered in white paint and the blue roof in the shape of a dome The pillars resembled the Shrine of Olympus, and there was even an open balcony s decorated ood
If it was located anywhere else, it ht look plain or even old-fashi+oned However, paired together with Venice Beach, it was as if the building and the beach were helping to bring out the beauty of each other Plus…
‘……Even those people are taking part’
In front of the restaurant Jo Minjoon had his hood on covering his face while looking at the crowd of people in front of the restaurant He was afraid, thinking about having to push through that crowd, but he had no other choice From what he had heard, even before Rachel ca in front of the restaurant like that
There were various types of people The tourists anted to see the famed main store of Rose Island for theet an exclusive interview And of course, hopeful chefs anted to gain Rachel’s approval and become her disciple
It was at that h the crowd, a multiracial woman looked back quickly before her eyes opened wide
“Uh, you …… Minjoon! You’re Minjoon, right?!”
“What? Where?”
“Wow, it really is Minjoon!”
“Can I take a selfie with you?”
With the, it was difficult for him to say he was busy and decline In the end, Jo MInjoon was caught in the crowd and forced to give out sonatures and take pictures Of course, not everyone was like that, but even with only a s so, time quickly passed by Furthermore, the reporters did not stay still either
“Minjoon, how do you feel about working at Rachel’s restaurant?”
“There aredate of Rose Island Do you know the exact date?”
“How do you plan on organizing the kitchen personnel?”
Many questions poured out Jo Minjoon avoided answering the questions by saying ‘there are ht now,’ before quickly walking to the entrance He could hear the continued clicking of the cameras and the reporters’ questions continued to chase after his footsteps, but once he went through the door, they could no longer follow after him
“Tsk Tsk Your problem is that you are too nice Why do you deal with all that nonsense?”
He could hear Anderson’s voice Jo Minjoon let out a tired sigh before entering the hall Forty chairs were laid out without an owner He didn’t realize how much he would appreciate this peacefulness
“Where is Rachel?”
“In her office Either way, did you do what I told you to do?”
“Yes, I signed up”
“Hand over your ID”
Anderson and Jo Minjoon were talking about the Starbook account that Minjoon kept pushi+ng back fros before frowning
“……You already have 800 fans?”
“Is that fast?”
Anderson did not answer 800 people in just one day It took hiet to that number With a frown still on his face, Anderson pressed the top of his screen A few moments later, a notification came up on Jo Minjoon’s cellphone
Minjoon has entered the chatrooo: Oh, Minjoon finally made a Starbook account]
[Anderson: I o: The number of his fans is no joke He may even hit 1,000 by the end of the day]
[Minjoon: This is quite odd I’ve never chatted like this before]
[Joanne: Minjoon! Nice to see you Chatting like thisyou for real]
[Minjoon: It sure does! It feels like we’re back in the competition]
[Joanne: Should I tell you a secret? Kaya wins that co]
Jo Minjoon laughed while looking at his phone They had been in co everybody in one chatroom felt different Anderson snorted as he spoke
“See, I told you you should open an account”
“If you told roup chat feature, I’m sure I would have opened it earlier”
The reason Jo Minjoon created a Starbook account after all this time was because of this chatroo were created (TL: hello? AIM was around way before 2010…and MSN Messenger…just to name a few…)
[Ivanna: I’m jealous Both of you I want to work at Rose Island too]
[Minjoon: I as on the restaurant level we need to take care of before opening, and even e open, I can’t work]
[Joanne: Oh? Why?]
[Ivanna: Are you hurt?]
[Minjoon: No, nothing like that It’s just an issue withto take at least another 2 et approved]
[Joanne: Then you just have a tourist visa right now?]
[Minjoon: Yup So I can’t work right now]
Although he didn’t currently have a paycheck, there was no issues with his everyday life First of all, Jo Minjoon was currently living at Rachel’s house If he had to buy so, he still didn’t have to worry It wasn’t only because of the er Trip In his wallet was a debit card Rachel had given hi with Rachel Rose! You’ve got it made, Minjoon]
[Minjoon: I heard you were recently scouted to be a head chef You can’t say that to me]
