Profile

Mr. Shang is the manager of Lumina Galleria.

(Outside the Lumina Square parking lot, Tue 6AM-6PM): Mr. Shang: Oh... This week's schedule is pretty tight.; Mr. Shang: Should we get more students to sign up?

(In front of the Lumina Galleria statue, Thu 12PM-6PM): Mr. Shang: Hmm... the teamilk shop is doing really well.; Mr. Shang: Maybe we can open one inside Lumina Galleria to increase the foot traffic.

(Outside the Lumina Square parking lot, Fri 12PM-6PM): Mr. Shang: I need to prepare the schedule for the weekend.

(In front of Lumina Galleria, Sat 6AM): Mr. Shang: It's the weekend again. Cheer up and welcome the customers.; Mr. Shang: Don't forget our store's philosophy.; Coburn: The customer comes first! The customer comes first!

(Next to Gravity Cinema, Wed 6AM-6PM): Mr. Shang: What's going on? There are half-price labels all over the shelf!; Mr. Shang: Even the home appliances section has them! Some customers are already starting to grab the TVs!; Belf: Sorry! I'm so sorry! That mischievous kid from before must have taken the food discount labels and stuck them everywhere... I'll clean it up right away!; Mr. Shang: Clean it up immediately and apologize to our customers! I'll be taking the losses from our food section out of your pay!; Belf: WH—WHAT?! NO!! My pay for the month...

(Next to Gravity Cinema, Fri 12AM): Mr. Shang: What happened to the kittens that were born in the storage area?; Mia: They're still pretty skittish around people, so we haven't disturbed them yet.; Mr. Shang: Ah, we must help them grow up quickly, then we can set up a place for them to live in the cat food area so they can charm customers with their cuteness. I'm sure they'll be really popular!; Mia: They have to start working for a living before they even turn one year old. I feel sorry for them...

(In front of the Lumina Galleria advertisements, Fri 6AM): Mr. Shang: Oh, there's a sale tomorrow night. I hope those bargain hunters won't show up.; Bargain hunters?; Mr. Shang: You heard right. We offer discounts on weekend evenings, and a group of so-called bargain hunters show up every time to snatch everything.; Mr. Shang: It's not a big deal if that's all they do, but they block the aisles, intercept other customers, and buy all the half-priced prepared food too. It's really frustrating.; Sounds fun to me...; Mr. Shang: Fun? Not at all! We have to mobilize all our employees to deal with them every time. It's like we're fighting a war!; Mr. Shang: *sigh* They might have endless energy, but we just want to get off work sooner.

(In front of Lumina Galleria, Sat 12PM): Mr. Shang: The prepared food is on sale tonight, and those guys who call themselves the bargain hunters are definitely going to come and snatch everything.; Mr. Shang: When they appear, Belf, you will intercept them.; Belf: Huh? Me...?; Mia: She will definitely be sent flying by that lady's cart!

(Next to Lumina Galleria, Sun 6AM-12PM): Mr. Shang: Maybe Coburn does have what it takes to start a business.; What do you mean?; Mr. Shang: I've never seen someone so focused on something. He enjoys even the most boring part-time jobs.; Mr. Shang: I made up something about "customer first" being our goal, and he's been sticking to that mantra ever since.; Huh?; ...You made that up?; Mr. Shang: Well, he is doing a pretty stellar job based on this idea. I don't know if the mantra really worked, or if honest people always have better luck...

(Talk to Mr. Shang): Mr. Shang: Today, while I was reading a mystery novel...; Mr. Shang: Suddenly, a cat rushed over and snatched a photo that was tucked in my book.; What photo?; Mr. Shang: That photo... it's a disaster... it absolutely must not be seen by anyone.; Mr. Shang: It's a photo of me and... uh, a young friend I traveled with... Although there's nothing going on between us, my wife... *sigh* There could be some misunderstandings...; Mr. Shang: She always manages the household frugally and works hard for this family. I can't let her worry, don't you think?; Mr. Shang: *sigh* If it weren't for the fact that I was reading while eating grilled fish, causing the juice to get on the photo, the cat would never have snatched it away...

(Talk to Mr. Shang again, optional): Mr. Shang: The photo was snatched by a cat... Please help me find it!

(Talk to Cat): Cat: Meow meow——! (Hey! What are you doing!); A glaring photo lies quietly here... take it back to Mr. Shang.

(Return to Mr. Shang): Mr. Shang: You... you're really a good person.; Mr. Shang: I guess I'm a bad person. Haha.; Mr. Shang: Anyway... thank you for bringing me the photo. Thank you.
