Hard-spoken but soft-hearted refers to people like Cao Jinse. Although he scolded Boss Jiang, he still insisted on assigning "guides" to them.
Jiang Chen never thinks of this as "surveillance."
Always speculating on others with malicious intentions makes life much harder.
The Japanese Imperial Palace, or the "Imperial Palace" as the Japanese call it, is located in the bustling city center, surrounded by a moat and rich shade of trees, and is designed to be a place of tranquility amidst the bustle.
Although it is the residence of the emperor, it is not as majestic as imagined. In addition to the internal core area, the Imperial Palace Gardens, East Garden, Kitanomaru Park and other places are open to the public and can be visited at any time.
If it was just him and his Taoist sister, Jiang Chen would probably have to give up this "Japanese Holy Land". After all, taking this angry young man to visit the spiritual leader's lair would be a bit unsafe, but since he has someone who is proficient in Japanese culture The "guide" is there, which naturally relieves you of some worries.
The guide assigned by Mr. Cao was none other than Yan Guangyi, who rescued the two of them from the police car surrounded by them last night.
The person's image is extraordinary at first glance, and as expected, this is a senior cadre of the Jiuding Group who is responsible for the affairs of the Dongying District. Mr. Cao temporarily transferred this kind of cadre, and he is indeed a good friend.
“I caused trouble to Mr. Yan last night.”
Jiang Chen thanked him again, without any pretense based on his relationship with Mr. Cao,
Needless to say, the excitement of the palace goes without saying.
There are a lot of runners on the perimeter alone.
I heard there are rules for running outside the palace.
You must run clockwise, not counterclockwise.
Although the monarchy has begun to die out around the world, and the remaining royal families are only in name only, for ordinary people in a country, the status of the royal family is still high.
"It's just a misunderstanding. The gangsters who beat up the police have been caught. They are a few drunk young men. The Tokyo Police Department asked me to convey my apology on my behalf. You two were shocked."
< br>Jiang Chen smiled.
It seems that certain situations are universal.
Looking at the Japanese Imperial Palace that was gradually shrinking, Jiang Chen chatted: "Mr. Yan, have you ever seen the Japanese Emperor?"
"Not yet, the Japanese Emperor is now a symbol in form , is not responsible for specific affairs, so we don’t have to deal with the royal family.”
Yan Guangyi's answer is simple and easy to understand.
At the entrance of the palace, there is an endless stream of tourists taking photos and checking in.
When entering the door, Jiang Chen deliberately observed around.
Not bad.
I didn’t see the sign saying “Chinese people are not allowed to enter”.
“It is said that Japanese people are good business partners. Mr. Yan often deals with them. How do you feel?”
Yan Guangyi smiled. The so-called charm of a middle-aged man is very obvious in him. Even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are quite attractive. I am afraid that everyone from an eighteen-year-old girl to a thirty-eight-year-old young woman will be fascinated by it.
"How are the Japanese people? Mr. Jiang also realized it last night. How do you feel about Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Chen, who had tasted the "disgrace" when he first arrived, smiled and sighed. , "A little disappointed."
After the guard checked the pass, the three entered the palace.
"Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be disappointed so early. The upper class in Japan are easy to get along with. It's just that the people at the bottom of Japan have been in a repressive environment for a long time, which leads to extreme ideological and mental conditions."
"Repression? Tokyo The nightlife is so lively. Last night I saw that those Japanese people really know how to enjoy life.”
Last night in Famous Edo, so many white-collar workers went to drink after get off work in the evening. In China, except on holidays, I'm afraid most migrant workers don't have this kind of leisure and leisure. After work, they are as tired as dogs and run home to wash and sleep.
"Mr. Jiang only saw the white-collar workers who went to drink after get off work. Did he see the workers in their fifties who were still moving goods at the construction site, the logistics couriers in their sixties, and the taxi drivers in their seventies? Driver.”
Jiang Chen was surprised.
He indeed hasn’t had the chance to see these yet.
“Aren’t the welfare benefits in developed countries very good?”
“No matter how good the welfare is, it cannot afford social pension security for the serious aging population. The Japanese government has long advocated lifelong employment. And there are plans to raise the retirement age to seventy.”
How old is it in China?
Because he is full of energy, Jiang Chen has not paid attention to this aspect for the time being, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as Japan.
Retired at seventy.
In the past, this age was already rare.
“Japanese people are really dedicated.”
Boss Jiang sighed.
“A society that never retires is like a road with no end in sight, so the entire Japanese society is generally relatively depressed, so the suicide rate remains high.”
The suicide rate in Japan is quite high. A familiar topic.
It is reflected in many horror movies.
For example, the well-known Suicide Forest is at the foot of Mount Fuji. Because it was too unlucky, Jiang Chen did not take his Taoist sister, who was influenced by Jin Zhuxuan and gradually prefers horror movies, to go sightseeing yesterday.
After all, Taoist sister is a Taoist, not a Buddhist, and is not good at saving the dead.
“Is the suicide situation in Japan really serious?”
"No. 1 in the world, well worthy of the name."
Yan Guangyi replied, "This is also an important reason why their horror film production is so excellent."
"It seems that I still can't think about it. Labor is the most glorious, Is it really so difficult to accept lifelong work and never retire? What is more precious than life? ”
Take a look.
What a hateful capitalist face.
“Only a very small number of people can’t imagine it. If it weren’t for Japan, there wouldn’t be only 20,000 to 30,000 people who choose to commit suicide every year.” dialogue, then it’s not a riot, you have to be beaten, and I’m afraid you have to call the police to protect your own safety.
"The Japanese government should strengthen mental health education."
In the palace, Boss Jiang gave Jiangshan guidance.
“It has nothing to do with education. It’s because the entire social system is too tight and there is no breathing space.” Yan Guangyi said: “Once the cat that used the Internet at home was broken, so I called the Tokyo network operator. A new one was delivered within two hours. When I was working in the Netherlands, the wireless network was out of order for nearly two months, and no one was able to repair it after calling several times.”
Jiang Chen smiled.
We all know that Westerners are lax.
“Waseda University in Japan and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands are both first-class universities in their respective countries. However, in terms of the speed of replying to emails, Waseda will definitely reply within 24 hours on working days, and the average speed of the University of Amsterdam in replying to emails is 1 To 2 weeks. As far as my personal experience is concerned, in terms of the efficiency of various services, Japan almost beats the Netherlands. Sometimes, an overly efficient society is actually not a good thing, because people are not machines, and machines will not be tired. , but people do.”
Yan Guangyi said without hesitation: “Behind Japan’s high efficiency are various complicated rules and an extremely repressive social environment. The Dutch are laid-back, casual, and even OK. Speaking of laxity, Japanese people are very sensitive and meticulous, and sometimes even stick to rigid rules. The concept of superiority and inferiority is deeply rooted in the bones. Most people have a serious mentality of following the herd. The physical hardship is second to the ubiquitous invisible rules and regulations. It’s suffocating.
In the Netherlands, students can call familiar professors by their first names, and occasionally joke with each other. In Japan, this situation is like a fantasy. ”
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but think of the movie he accidentally pressed last night. Even if I turned off the TV after a quick glance, I could still see that it was about teachers.
Japanese people don’t seem to have much respect for teachers.
Of course.
Jiang Chen did not provide evidence to refute this kind of thing. It was not that he cared about his own image, but he just didn’t want to implicate Cao Jinse.
"Japanese people are really good at doing business and very good at thinking. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they can do many things extremely thoughtfully. The disadvantage is that they often overthink and make fuss out of molehills, which increases their psychological burden. Japanese people work overtime. It’s normal for trams to be out of service, but in the Netherlands, when it’s time to get off work, the whole company is like a track and field competition.”
Jiang Chen quite agrees with this.
For example, the chaebol lady who always called him Jiang Chenjun, didn’t she think too much and scare herself, so she hurriedly returned home?
Jiang Chen smiled, "This should be our regional characteristic. Japan is not the only one advocating hard work and struggle."
There is a significant difference between the East and the West.
Westerners pursue pleasure.
The East is different.
As Boss Jiang said just now, the East respects labor as the most glorious thing.
However, this concept seems to be slowly changing now.
“Even if the mainstream orientation is the same, there are still differences. Japanese people care more about social image and the evaluation of others, so even if they don’t want to work hard, they will not lie down, but make a gesture of working hard.”
"I once inspected a company in Japan. Some employees had completed their duties, but then rearranged and rearranged things that had been neatly arranged. This is what I saw with my own eyes. Everyone seemed busy, but in fact No matter how much they hate their jobs, they will never show it, but will always put on a smile. Most of the time, Japanese people endure the fierce pull between reality and their hearts. Life here is very convenient and service-oriented. It’s thoughtful, the transportation is developed, and the infrastructure is complete, but one thing is that I can’t feel happy.”
Both of them looked around.
No.
It should be three people.
The same goes for Taoist sister.
Not only foreigners come to visit the palace, but also locals.
After Yan Guangyi’s narration, the sunny smiles of those Japanese people couldn’t help but look a little weird.
“In fact, the people at the bottom of the world are almost the same, with fake smiles on their faces and words that they don’t mean. But people in some places are more open-minded and know how to comfort themselves, while Japanese people Lacking this kind of self-resolution and optimism, under the pressure of high-load society, we either gradually become numb, or choose a sunny morning to pick a stronger tree, or jump to the railway track. ”
The entrepreneurial spirit of a company really starts from top to bottom.
Jiuding Group is not an ordinary private company,
So this Jiuding executive is really "unobtrusive".
But think about it.
Cao Jinse is not like this too.
Freedom of speech.
If there is a problem, it is not terrible.
What you are afraid of is not daring to face it. Avoiding it or hiding it is no different from self-deception.
Of course.
Just click here. This kind of topic is not suitable for in-depth discussion, especially in a place like the Japanese Imperial Palace.
Walking in the pleasant "Imperial Garden", Jiang Chen changed the topic and said with emotion: "I remember watching Crayon Shin-chan when I was a child, and the life shown in it shocked me a lot. Xiaoxin's family He often went skiing, played golf, and had steak dinners. His mother, Mei Ya, had a cabinet of dresses and jewelry. She even fed her pet dog Xiaobai Kobe beef once a week. At that time, my family didn’t dare to add more oil to cooking, including radish and tomatoes. If you want to eat the fruit, you have to wait until the New Year to wear new clothes."
Yan Guangyi smiled, "When I was a child, I was even worse than Mr. Jiang. All my clothes were patchwork and high-end."
The two men, who seemed to have had the same experience, laughed.
Times have changed.
Think about how many years ago I squatted in front of a small TV watching Japanese cartoons, and now I am standing in the Japanese palace chatting and laughing. The world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Of course.
It is too early to talk about catching up.
"Is Mr. Yan always based in Japan?"
"Well, so, he will stay here for almost half of the year."
"No wonder Mr. Yan is so fond of Japan. Such a profound understanding.”
“Mr. Jiang is serious, because this is Mr. Jiang’s first time here. If Mr. Jiang stays here longer, Mr. Jiang can intuitively feel what I just said. "
"So reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." Jiang Chen sighed.
"Correct answer."
Yan Guangyi smiled and nodded.
Neither of them are taciturn people. They talked freely all the way, talking and laughing, but they were limited to the customs and customs of Japan. They had a tacit understanding and did not inquire about other aspects.
"I heard from Mr. Cao that Mr. Jiang came to Japan to see a friend? Where is Mr. Jiang's friend from? I can send someone to contact him."
"This is a trivial matter. Please Mr. Yan.”
Jiang Chen declined the other party’s kindness.
The Japanese Imperial Palace is indeed not big. After strolling around the garden, the three of them planned to leave.
“Over there is...”
Jiang Chen inadvertently noticed a closed courtyard door.
"That's the inner garden of the palace. It's not open to the public. If Mr. Jiang wants to go in and have a look, I'll make an appointment first next time."
Jiang Chen nodded, being reasonable and reasonable, and did not force himself to go in to see the whole situation. Just when they were about to leave from another direction, the courtyard door leading to the core inner garden was actually opened from the inside.
Then walked out an urban beauty who was eye-catching and even made people’s hearts beat.
Gray trousers, stilettos, a white shirt, her hair simply tied up, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her pretty face, but she was dressed in such a dignified and intellectual way. There is a surging and seductive color on her body.
Jiang Chen almost remembered the teacher-themed movie he briefly glanced at last night.
More than just movies.
Looking at that charming face, and even holding a few books in her hands, Jiang Chen's pupils dilated slightly, and then contracted.
The holy Duanmu Liuli seemed to have noticed the woman walking out of the palace, and frowned slightly.
All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence? (End of this chapter)
