In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1499 Wearing Casual Clothes~ Part 1

Inside Futaba Trading Company, the department head called Hiroshi and several other department leaders over for a short meeting.

"Is everyone here?" the minister asked, looking around at the people around him.

"Everyone's here. What's up, Minister?" Hiroshi and the other department heads looked at the minister with some curiosity.

"Actually, the company plans to implement a policy of wearing casual clothes to work next week," the department head explained, looking at Hiroshi and the others.

"Huh? Why do we have to do it again?" Hiroshi frowned upon hearing this, raising his hand in confusion as he asked.

“Many young companies these days allow casual wear, so our company will also be adopting a new style. We’ll take this opportunity to revamp the company’s image,” the department head explained to Hiroshi.

"But won't wearing casual clothes to work seem too informal?" another department head asked with concern.

The minister smiled and waved his hand, "Of course, we're not completely unrestricted. For some important meetings or when receiving clients, formal attire is still required. It's just that everyone can dress more casually at other times, which will improve everyone's comfort and motivation at work."

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. "If that's the case, then it's not bad. At least I won't have to worry about what to wear every day."

The other leaders also nodded in agreement.

Looking at them, the minister continued, "Of course, even though it's casual wear, it can't be too simple. So please wear casual office attire that won't interfere with your work. As for what type, you can think about it yourselves. Okay, that's all for this meeting. Everyone, please pass on the message. Meeting adjourned."

The group frowned, returned to their offices, and relayed the message.

Kawaguchi looked puzzled: "Huh? Casual office attire? Senior, what is casual office attire?"

"Well, it should be a smart and professional look," Hiroshi said uncertainly. This was his guess. If he wasn't mistaken, the information the department head received was also inaccurate. This was a common problem in companies; they would only say half of what they meant and leave the rest for their subordinates to guess.

"You're so casual," Kawaguchi complained to Hiroshi. "Ultimately, for us office workers, a suit is like armor when we go to war! I'd lose my motivation if I wore casual clothes."

Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Kawaguchi: "So what? It's all arranged by higher-ups, and besides..." At this point, Hiroshi glanced at Kawaguchi's armor: "Your armor is really wrinkled."

"Uh..." Kawaguchi's expression also became a little awkward. He hadn't really ironed out the wrinkles on his suit.

Yumi walked over and looked at Kawaguchi and the others: "I think it's great that the company has a casual day. I'm really looking forward to seeing the department head in casual clothes next week." As she spoke, Yumi looked at Hiroshi with a smile on her face.

"Oh, alright, Yumi, I'll show you what adult fashion is all about!" Hiroshi straightened his tie and said with a hint of smugness.

Kawaguchi's lips twitched. "What an arrogant senior."

After getting off work, Hiroshi returned home, ate dinner, and then went upstairs to the second floor to rummage through the wardrobe.

Looking at his clothes, Hiroshi felt a headache coming on: "I can't wear this to work, can I?"

"What are you doing? It's so late!" Misae asked, seeing that Hiroshi wasn't in the living room and that Akira had come upstairs with the kids after hearing the noise.

"Dad, are you running away?" Shin-chan looked at the clothes scattered on the floor and then curiously looked at Hiroshi.

"No way!" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Shin-chan. What do you really think of your dad?

"The spicy hot pot is Sichuan hot pot~" Xiaoxin said with a grin.

"Alright, stop fooling around, Dad, what are you looking for clothes for?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi with some curiosity.

"Oh, it's like this, the company wants us to wear casual clothes to work next week," Hiroshi explained casually.

"Huh? Is that so? Are the clothes you're wearing now not good enough?" Misae looked at the clothes in Hiroshi's hands with some confusion.

Hiroshi shook his head: "But I have to go to work. If I wear such an old coat..." Before he could finish, Shin-chan chimed in: "It looks so shabby, and your feet smell so bad too."

"So noisy!" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Shin-chan, and Misae chimed in, "Hmm, how about this one?"

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi looked over and his eyes lit up when he saw the dress: "Oh, that's a nice dress." With that, Hiroshi took the dress from Misae and put it on.

But after putting it on, Mingxu looked at the marks on his clothes and couldn't help but scratch his head: "It seems that we need to install some insect repellent in this wardrobe."

"It looks like the design has been eaten by insects," Shin-chan exclaimed, looking at the holes in the clothes.

"It's not a design flaw, it's been eaten by moths." Hiroshi was also helpless. He finally had such a piece of clothing, but now it seems he still can't wear it.

"Well, there's nothing we can do then. Let's try looking at the clothing stores again tomorrow," Misae said, shaking her head after looking around at the clothes.

"Oh, so can I buy new clothes?" Hiroshi looked at Misae with some surprise.

“If the vice minister wears strange clothes, he can’t be a good role model for his subordinates,” Misae said, shrugging as she looked at Hiroshi.

"Wow! I'm going to carefully choose an outfit that suits the minister, hahaha~" Hiroshi was overjoyed upon hearing this and burst into laughter.

Shin-chan asked curiously, "What kind of clothes would be suitable for the department head?"

"I don't know." Mingxu shrugged. "Actually, I think anything is fine, except for shirts."

"Hmm, that seems to make sense." Misae considered it.

The next day, Hiroshi took the two little ones out to look at things.

Looking at the clothing stores over there, Hiroshi couldn't help but scratch his head: "Ah, which store should I go to?"

"Guest, what do you think of this shop?" Xiaoxin suddenly asked, pointing to the shop next door.

"I don't think it's very good?" Mingxu shook his head speechlessly.

"Ah, why?" Hiroshi was a little puzzled, but when he turned his head, he understood.

Shin-chan looked at the merchandise inside with a grin: "Models, games, DVDs, there are so many great items!"

Hiroshi rolled his eyes: "We're buying Dad's clothes today!"

Upon hearing Guangzhi's words, a salesperson was immediately delighted and approached him: "Sir, are you looking for clothes? Please come this way."

"Oh?" Hiroshi was taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look. The other party continued to introduce, "Our store has a wide variety of products."

Looking at the store, Hiroshi suddenly beamed with delight: "Oh, maybe I can find my fashion style here!"

“I can find anything I want! My teacher’s name is Yoshinaga Midori~” Shin-chan said mischievously again.

"Have you seen anything you like?" The salesperson ignored Shin-chan and continued to ask Hiroshi.

"My name is... Waaah~" Before Shin could finish speaking, Mingxu interrupted him, pulling him aside: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

"Forehead.."

The salesperson looked at Hiroshi and continued to ask, "What kind of clothes are you looking for today?"

"Well, this is very comfortable to wear, looks very professional, and is a light outfit suitable for wearing to the office," Hiroshi said, telling the salesperson his requirements.
