Chapter 912: Busy
Everything will be chaotic if you care about it.
Especially when people are lazy, they are often willing to think more about how to act when dealing with outsiders.
When it comes to close relatives, they are not willing to beat around the bush and think carefully, and often express their temperament casually and straightforwardly.
This leads to the common phenomenon of "far fragrance and near smell".
Many people are amiable in the eyes of outsiders, but have many conflicts when getting along with their relatives.
The same is true for Matsumoto Keiko and her father.
The father and daughter have almost the same stubborn temperament.
Let them be the people with the most similar personalities and the closest blood relationship in the world.
But he is also the most prone to verbal misunderstandings and conflicts in the world.
So much so that they clearly think about each other, but in the end their efforts and efforts are never understood and understood by the other party, and it is difficult to achieve ideal results.
Of course, the most difficult thing is actually Keiko Matsumoto’s mother.
As a traditional Japanese woman, she is completely guided by her husband. In most matters, she almost always obeys her husband's words.
But there is one exception for her, that is, she loves her only daughter.
As the saying goes, women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.
When it comes to issues related to her daughter, she becomes a hen who dares to duel with a goshawk, even her husband is no exception.
So she will always be in a dilemma, unable to please both ends.
Either she was scolded by her husband, or her daughter complained about her weakness.
No matter how hard we try to eliminate the gap between husband and daughter and make the family peaceful and beautiful, the final result is always unsatisfactory.
But this time with the idea given by Ning Weimin, things seemed to be different.
Through the information provided by her mother, Keiko Matsumoto directly asked her financial representative Mitsuru Watanabe to contact the creditors who were pressing for debt.
The conditions were negotiated very smoothly.
You know, as long as these people have money to collect and can avoid the loss of principal, they are even willing to give a discount on the interest.
I was overjoyed that Matsumoto Keiko paid off the debt on his behalf.
Don’t say you are not willing to cooperate and hide it from the debtor for the time being.
Some people were even willing to cooperate in the acting and took the initiative to call Matsumoto Keiko's father.
It probably meant that he believed in Han Yingming's ability, so he applied for a two-year debt extension for him, which was a kind words of relief.
So, once this matter was dealt with, it was rare to have a satisfactory result.
No matter who they were in Matsumoto Keiko’s family, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The father who was kept in the dark was naturally happy.
He is grateful that there is always a path, and he has a positive attitude towards the future of the company.
The mother who knew the inside story regained her peace of mind.
When she felt comfortable that life had returned to peace and tranquility, she was even more relieved that her daughter was smart.
I feel that besides my husband, I have someone else to rely on.
Even Keiko Matsumoto was happy that she had fulfilled her filial duty and successfully avoided another dispute with her father.
Naturally, she would be grateful to Ning Weimin for this and have a good impression of him even more.
However, even such a great thing could not keep Matsumoto Keiko in a good mood.
Because first of all, as the end of the year approaches, in addition to the rehearsals for the Red and White Song Concert entering an important stage, there are also more and more things that require entertainment.
Her emotions could not forget the wonderful feeling of their fingers connecting. She was extremely eager to meet Ning Weimin again as soon as possible, but she really couldn't schedule it.
How could such loneliness and helplessness make her happy when she couldn't get what she asked for?
Second, the more emotionally moved Matsumoto Keiko became, the more concerned she was about Ning Weimin's living situation.
Ning Weimin accepted the watch from her, which was a good start.
The joy she gained prompted her to hope to help Ning Weimin improve his life in more aspects.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the work problem.
Matsumoto Keiko knows that Japan has many policy restrictions on foreigners working.
In her understanding, Ning Weimin's job in a bookstore and a real estate agency was completely forced by life.
Under such a heavy burden of life, the time and place for two people to interact will be severely restricted.
So she was worried because she would bring a lot of trouble to Ning Weimin.
So she thought about it, and still wanted to help Ning Weimin find a well-paying job.
Even if it might hurt his face and make him angry, he wouldn't care.
Let's get things done first, then at best act coquettishly and beg for forgiveness afterwards.
Who asked her to be a little older? She was willing to coax him...
Besides, this method was taught to her by him.
He will not contradict himself and think that this approach is wrong, right?
The third is that career troubles have come again.
Sure enough, Michiko Harada got it right, and Kinji Fukasaku gave Ayumi Ishida the role of the wife in "The Man on Fire".
That’s not all, in order for Matsumoto Keiko to play another heroine, Ye Zi.
Fukasaku Kinji himself was rejected, and after pestering to no avail, he invited the current head of Shochiku Pictures, Junichi Omoto, to plead with Matsumoto Keiko to agree to participate in the film and offered him a salary of 50 million yen.
Omoto Junichi took over the position of the old president Shiro Kido in 1977.
It was in the film "The Incident" that Keiko Matsumoto strongly supported that she changed the drama of young beauties, and she became famous ever since.
It can almost be said that it was this president who single-handedly promoted Matsumoto Keiko to the status of Shochiku’s “first sister” today.
So his request was almost equivalent to the male lead's salary.
Matsumoto Keiko cannot refuse outright, she can only agree to consider it, otherwise she will be accused of being ungrateful.
But the problem is that the content of this film reflects the chaotic life of a middle-aged scoundrel writer having an extramarital affair.
The role of Ye Zi has a large number of passionate nudity scenes, which far exceeds all the films Keiko Matsumoto has shot in the past.
But now she has a vague sense of belonging in her heart, and she can't help but think about the problem from Ning Weimin's perspective.
It is inevitable to worry about Ning Weimin's reaction to this matter.
She doesn't know whether she should talk to Ning Weimin about this?
Are you worried about Ning Weimin’s reaction when he learns about this?
So she missed and missed Ning Weimin, but she couldn't bear to see him, and she was a little afraid of meeting him.
Look, how embarrassing and distressing this is...
As for Ning Weimin, after saying goodbye to the stage, the image of Matsumoto Keiko in his heart became clearer and unforgettable. .
Even the smoothness of Matsumoto Keiko's fingernails and the fragrance left on her fingertips brought him endless aftertaste and reverie.
Especially when I come home late sometimes, I see men and women laughing and hugging each other on the street. He always thought of Matsumoto Keiko inexplicably.
Therefore, if anyone says that Ning Weimin doesn't want to take the initiative to call Matsumoto Keiko and wants to pretend to be calm, that's nonsense.
But the problem is, important things come one after another in December, and his schedule is actually even tighter than Matsumoto Keiko.
The first is the preparation work to promote trolley suitcases to participate in the exhibition.
Even though the exhibition is about to be held in mid-December, Ning Weimin is the only one who can handle this in Tokyo.
The exhibits must be picked up by him in person at the customs.
He had to run and get all the materials and print advertisements distributed by himself.
In addition, he had to go through the exhibition procedures in person at the exhibition venue, the Tokyo Distribution Center No. 1 Exhibition Hall.
He has to pay all the electricity bills, admission fees, insurance premiums, mortgage deposits, exhibition certificates, safety and fire-fighting responsibility certificates alone.
Think about it, under normal circumstances, this is the job responsibility of three or four people from two companies, the exhibitor company and the construction company.
Now that he is doing it all by himself, how can he not be so busy that his feet are on his back?
It must be said that Ning Weimin just wanted to make a small fuss on the road this time and did not make the noise bigger.
What if instead of renting a three-by-four ready-made aluminum booth, he could find an exhibition construction company to come up with special design drawings and then do the woodwork, beauty, and electrical work.
Then he would have to lie down in bed, he would definitely be too busy.
Secondly, Ning Weimin also had to find time to supervise the decoration of Huiwentang Bookstore and Tangong Restaurant.
Although Japanese workers are led by their bosses, the progress and workload are carried out strictly according to the plan.
There is absolutely no problem with cheating.
But from time to time he has to go and take a look.
After all, the decoration of the restaurant is too important. If there is any problem that affects the actual use, the opening will be delayed.
And only his frequent presence at the construction site proves the importance he attaches to construction quality.
Otherwise, it will cause misunderstanding to the production company that it doesn’t really matter.
It is conceivable that even the most serious people will reduce their sense of responsibility.
In addition, even if you are so busy, there are additional distractions.
This is mainly the sequelae of Ning Weimin's kindness in helping Miyoko Kagawa some time ago.
Perhaps it’s because a young guy like him who has both temperament, good looks, and more knowledge is just too outstanding.
Even though he is a foreigner, he actually has great potential in selling second-hand houses.
All in all, he took the time to help Miyoko Kagawa receive six clients, except for Matsuzaka Keiko's business with a bad old man who failed to do it.
The other four customers actually made it to the final deal.
Those rich wives or mistresses of certain big shots seemed to have no resistance to Ning Weimin. Whether they wanted to buy or sell, they were filled with joy when they were deceived by him.
So much so that Miyoko Kagawa and Yujiro Sakai took the initiative to send Ning Weimin a total of one million yen as a reward, and formally expressed the hope that everyone would continue to cooperate and continue like this.
In this regard, Ning Weimin had no choice but to express his gratitude.
Not only was the money confiscated in the end, but two people were also treated to a meal.
But because of his unswerving explanation, I really don’t have time to do a side job.
On the contrary, the unmarried couple who tried their best to persuade him to change his mind were quite disappointed.
Finally, and more importantly, on December 8, Zou Guodong also flew over from the capital.
As the initiator of this incident and the only contact person in Tokyo, Ning Weimin had to pick him up at the airport.
In addition, a series of arrangements for Zou Guodong's work and life in Japan must be made to facilitate the final cooperation.
It is conceivable that he has reached the point where he has nothing to do.
Where do I have time to contact and meet Matsumoto Keiko?
To put it bluntly, during Zou Guodong's stay in Japan, not only was he busy with other things during the day, but he also had no time to think about the great beauty at night.
But then again, who can blame this?
Didn't he just eat the food from the bowl and look at the food in the pot, hugging and pulling, and caused so many troubles for himself?
So he didn’t complain. He just had to eat his own shit. He deserved it all.
Besides, to be honest, Zou Guodong is not willing to make this trip.
Going abroad is a good thing, as you can see the colorful world outside.
But Zou Guodong, the foreigner on this trip, also knew that he was just a decoration, and the strings that controlled the puppets were all in Ning Weimin's hands.
For someone as arrogant as him, it would be better to stay in the capital and concentrate on being the powerful vice president and take care of the things he should do.
What's more, Ning Weimin is cruel and thick-skinned.
This kid called Zou Guodong specifically and asked him not to bring his luggage.
Said that everything would be purchased for him in Tokyo, and only what he needed would be brought here.
As a result, there were three big boxes full of things that this boy sent over and needed Zou Guodong’s help to take out.
It seems that the shipping fee alone is expected to cost more than a thousand yuan.
Purely regard him as a "liben", an international mover.
If it weren’t for the box used to transport these things, it would be a sample trolley suitcase trial-produced by China.
And I still want to see Ning Weimin with my own eyes and take out a few truths about the future of the Japanese yen from his mouth.
Zou Guodong was too lazy to help this boy.
All in all, it is precisely because of the above objective circumstances.
When Zou Guodong and Ning Weimin met again in a foreign land, they didn't actually feel much like a victorious meeting.
When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, it’s a bit teary-eyed, but that’s because the two of them were angry and embarrassed when they met.
Don’t forget, at Ning Weimin’s request, Zou Guodong brought three big boxes, which contained too many things.
After exiting the customs, he could not move as he did not speak Japanese, so he could only stay put and wait for Ning Weimin with his luggage.
He was even fined 10,000 yen because he habitually took out a cigarette and smoked it.
But Ning Weimin, because he was too busy, he forgot about time and forgot about Zou Guodong's visit today.
More than forty minutes late.
In addition, he came from the construction site and didn't even notice that he was covered in dust.
Because he was anxious and afraid that Zou Guodong would be angry, he ran so hard that sweat dripped from his neck and he was panting like an ox.
So, at Tokyo Narita International Airport, under the gaze of many Japanese, European and American people.
The two Chinese executives of Picardon met like international migrant workers.
No handshakes, no hugs, the meeting etiquette is very simple.
Because except for Ning Weimin, who nodded and bowed, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Only Zou Guodong, who had a frosty face, said a word with a simple rhyme from his mouth.
"Fuck!"
