After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

(A/N Just relisting the list of System Skills Rick has in this spoiler so you don't have to find it elsewhere.)

Chapter 57  Youngest Kung-Fu Club Captain! by Harem-Fan

     Looking in the bathroom mirror as I splash water on my face, I can only smile bitterly at Nadia. No I did not lose my lunch but man my stomach churned. When you feel bad for the person you hate you know he is being toyed with.

     Sadly he does not even know what he is being laced with, but I am kicking myself for not bringing a bottle of that laxative. I need to give Nadia a bottle of that for sure.

     Thinking about Nichole and Nadia, I am reminded that they are not very nice women. I forget this because I only see their kind and loving side. But other people who deal with them truly hate them, and I hear complaints all the time. Nichole is rude, cutthroat, and verbally abusive to those she dislikes. Nadia is well, she is Nadia.

     "Yet, I only see two women I want to spend the rest of my life with, sigh. Tina is right, I have strange taste in women."

     "So you're one of those unique men? And I assume your wives are the two women?"

     A deep and sexy woman's voice was heard from the door as Victoria walked into the bathroom seeing me at the sink.

     My eyes open a bit seeing the tall Victoria and I ask while trying to keep my cool with Acting Basic.

     "Teacher Long, why are you in this bathroom?"

     She first pointed to me then the door.

     "I came to see if you're feeling alright, but who would have thought I had to find you in the women's restroom?"

     Victoria had a bit of a grin seeing my Acting crumble as I looked around and noticed a lack of something, mens wall urinals?!

     (A/N Fun story, me being legally blind, my wife when I first got married sent me accidentally into the women's room at SeaWorld. Yeah that look of confusion not finding a wall-urinal, I can relate too, ha-ha!)

     "Ah? Crap I was in such a rush to find the bathroom I missed a vital clue. Well I am fine thanks, so I will go back now, and um, can you not mention this small error I made?"

     Victoria stepped to the side for me to walk out and said something surprising to me.

     "Mr Lee, thanks for your integrity of staying with my internship despite getting better offers."

     I stop in the hall and say to my teacher.

     "My father taught me well, ironic though that he and the Long's had such an unfortunate past. But I can tell your not like your sisters. Miss Long, please stay a reasonable woman and I will try to not make the same mistakes."

     Yeah, I know it is hard for a good woman to be related to snakes. She is a true Dragon while her older sisters are just vipers. It is just like Helen and Scott. They are both Tang but despite being brother and sister, they are night and day different, but in the end, they are siblings.

     Victoria followed behind me, so I did not see the slight-smile on her lips as she thought the young man that fixed her flat may not be gone after-all.

     I put on a smile as I walked back in the room looking a hell of a lot better. Nadia mouthed to me... [Sorry Ricky!]

     However her smiling-eyes tells me she is not fully sorry, only for upsetting me, but not the crime itself.

     As Victoria and I sat, the main dishes came in and were served to us.

     What did I order? Shish-Kabobs, with marinated-beef, cherry-tomatoes, bell-pepper, mushrooms, and onion! The side dish was grilled corn on the cob with butter and salt. Nice stuff.

     This is why I like this BBQ House, its menu is tailored for many preferences, not just backyard grilling.

     I see Linda ordered grilled BBQ chicken with carrots and green-beans.

     Tina is eating a bacon-wrapped Filet Mignon steak and grilled mushrooms and onions. She is using her knife with skill and when she sees me looking she slowly bites and chews her meat trying to look seductive, to make me look more.

     Victoria is eating a BBQ pork sandwich with coleslaw as it's spread, and her side is seasoned steak-fries. She eats slowly and elegantly despite the messy sandwich.

     After about ten minutes teacher Long asks me.

     "The BBQ House as a business model, what would you change, add, or remove?"

     Her students that heard the question listen in because it seems to be a teaching-moment.

     There are things that my first life memories know from restaurants of that Earth, and are not yet practiced in my Earth, so I think about this.

     I put my utensils down and said.

     "The location, food, service, music, and atmosphere are really well developed and thought out. For this I would absolutely change nothing."

     I point out to the lunch crowd.

     "As for the lunch and supper crowd, I would also change nothing, because bringing in more customers during a rush is bad for business. So what would I add or change?"

     I look at Victoria and tell her what I would do if it was my business.

     "The bar and slow-times are what needs improvement! For the bar, add a time of the day Monday thru Friday called Happy-Hour from say 4 to 6 pm where you offer certain drinks at a slightly reduced price, preferably the high return beverages like beer, wine, and shots. Dont offer it on the weekends however. You advertise it as an after work and before dinner kind of event."

     I drink some water to wet my throat then continue.

     "For the slow eating time of 3 to 5 pm, offer something called The Early Bird Special to attract the older, frugal, and university student crowds. Just offer a set of 10 easy and fast menu items that can be easily prepared, and lower cost items can be used to offer a deal."

     Then I point to James and say.

     "On Friday and Saturday nights after the supper rush, offer Ladies Night for the bar. This will naturally bring in horn-dogs like Jim here to hit on the gathered women who have been drinking. Only women get the drink specials."

     Then I sit back and smile while everything is thought of, then James as predicted shot his arm up and said.

     "Hell yes, I would come to ladies night!"

     Actually he is kinda broke, so he is only proving my point, but if he had money he would definitely come every Friday and Saturday for sure.

     Surprisingly none of these cool gimmicks have taken root in my Earth yet, so why not steal the idea, I am shameless after-all, plus what is the point of having past memories of another world if I don't use them?

     Victoria was surprised I could throw out so many usable ideas.

     "May I use some of those ideas in my companies? I don't want to steal them without asking?"

     I point to Linda, Helen, Jill, and then Victoria and tell them.

     "Actually I don't mind all of you using my ideas, feel free to use them in all of your restaurants and bars. The more businesses that implement it the better. Competition makes the economy and customers happy. Plus I get good deals on the places I love. And James can go to Ladies night more often."

     Jill said to me.

     "Little brother Rick, make sure and write that down for me so I don't mess it up, please, and thanks!"

     "Sure, later I will email all of you and you too Linda. I know your family has many popular restaurants as well."

     So for another 10 minutes or so we talked as a class on the points of what gimmicks should be shared and why it helps everyone instead of just one family. Victoria thought the sharing of ideas is good to capitalize for their families businesses instead of always killing one another's businesses with hostility.

     Who knew this business idea I suggested would lead me into one of the most awkward but amazing moments in my life later?!

     Our group of 12 finally finished and needed to head back for our afternoon classes, Tina and I needed to head to Kung-Fu Club.

     On our way out the door, Tina took my available arm and said to me, Linda, her sister, and James.

     "Rick and I have class together, so I will ride back with them."

     Cat Woo also had class asked.

     "Then I will ride with you guys since I am in the class."

     Tina looked at her like she was dumb and told her.

     "Sorry no, we are full, just walk Woo."

     Victoria said to the sad looking Cat.

     "Ashley, my niece is also in your class, so I will drop both of you off then."

     Cat in her mind just rolled her eyes but accepted the ride.

     Tina, seeing Linda, smiled and said.

     "I call shotgun, plus it's my car, Ufufu."

     James, not used to petty-girl-fights, just hid behind me as Linda took imaginary-damage from Tina, due to not being able to retort. The bird beat the turtle this time!

-

     Now that we are back in school and I let the others go, it is just me and Tina walking to the stadium training center.

     She has lost her smile due to us being alone, but the fact she intimately is holding my arm just shows her indifference to the world but not me.

     "So Mary is alright with me now? Why?"

     "Mary has always loved and protected me as an older sister, mother, and wife. She only wants me to be with wives that truly care about me and are not only into benefits. Sadly most noble marriages are based on exactly that. But I think she now realizes you want more."

     Tina, seeing no one around, leaned in and raised her heels to kiss me. Then when she stopped a smile was on her face again.

     "We are late, let's go Rick."

-

     Now dressed in my Kung-Fu uniform I came out of the locker-room and noticed some commotions from both our side and the Karate side. A lot of students are hounding Scott for something, oh maybe it's the thing with his mom?!

     Coach Love-Triangle came to me with an apologetic look and told me.

     "Mr Lee, sorry I don't know if you're aware, but three of my assistant coaches were found to have taken bribes for the result of flunking you. They have been immediately put on suspension pending the investigation. Seems two of your computer teachers also were part of the sticky scandal."

     I smile at this middle-aged slightly graying woman who is wearing a pink Kung-Fu uniform for women.

     "Don't worry, as long as my grades are fine, no harm no foul. I don't blame the school or anyone else. Refusing the Tang main wife is not something most are willing to do, but now at least you know you have integrity."

     Love-Triangle then said to me. 

     "Well I wanted to ask you for a favor to help out with the tough time. I want to make you the Captain of the Kung-Fu Club team, and I want to make Tina Feng the Co-Captain. Can you do this for us Mr Lee? Frankly your skills are more than teacher worthy. Not only will you pass with perfect marks, but you can help lead the University into the championships this year, and maybe Nationals."

     Well I would get perfect marks anyway, but due to Tina being the Co-Captain we can spend more time together. Also being Captain of a martial arts club with a record of winning is always nice. Plus Love-Triangle seems like a nice lady.

     "I will do it if Tina Feng does, how's that?"

     With a grin of wanting to see a Romantic Drama, she tells me.

     "Then your Captain Lee, because she said the same thing, fufu. Now I will announce you and you can lead the boys warm ups, and Tina can take care of the girls warm ups. I will get you a bunch of Captain's letters to sew onto your jerseys and Kung-Fu outfits."

     Tina with a smile stood next to me as we were announced as the two new top dogs of class, and when the teacher asked for opinions,hands went up, but she said to their faces...

     "Got a question or problem, then challenge them or put your stupid hand down!"

     After Love-Triangles words no one said shit. I like how this lady does business.

     Now mind you there are Two other Kung-Fu classes and each of them also have one Captain and Co-Captain so there are three of each for the whole University. So I am now one of three top students in Kung-Fu for the Star University team and classes.

     With that I became the Youngest Captain in the University history, but no one would deny I have the skill to deserve it. This year our school will surprise the Nation.

     After a private kiss and hug from Tina, I left for home...

-

     After arriving home, I see Mary and Hana's cars and I smile.

     Soon I came into the house and saw both women snacking and watching their favorite soap together. I took off my jacket and guns, then sit-between the two hot women and pulled them into a hug.

     Hana only smiled at my actions and leaned into me to get comfortable. Mary lifts her eyebrow and asks me.

     "So are we going to talk about last night?"

     I can tell she is only messing with me and I kissed her lips, and frankly told her. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "Nope, I had a Looong day, and I only want to hold my wives and pretend to watch soaps with you. Then later I will make you something good, and tuck you into bed for your work. That's what's going to happen my lovely wife. We have all of our lives to talk about it, so let's see who is going to have an evil-twin take their place on this sappy hospital drama!"

     Hana looks at Mary like she got shot down and only laid her head on my shoulder, then Mary looking like she lost out on fake-fight time just sighed and leaned into my other arm.

     Soon Mary's eyes remembered what she was going to milk out of me and asked.

     "Brother, husband, handsome Rick, both Hana and I want to get one year memberships to our day-spa, can we pleeeease, honey-bunny?"

     Man hearing Mary beg feels kinda creepy! But I say the only answer that makes sense.

     "As long as I can afford it, you can have anything that makes you ladies happy."

     Hana was pleased with my answer, then kissed me to show her joy.

     That night, Mary rewarded me with a 'hummer', cough, and Hana really helped to drain the sexual-frustration Tina gave me on Sunday. Yes, buy your wives one year passes, I recommend it!

     Then the rest of the week went by in a flash...
