Chapter 950: Meeting is worse than missing each other
Dantes Bar, which is only twelve square meters in area, has the perfect indoor temperature.
Although there are not many guests tonight, they are not deserted at all.
Because at this time, Ning Weimin and Axia's rather dramatic encounter with their old friends in a foreign land has filled the place with a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
Sang Minzi, the mother who runs the store, is not dissatisfied even though Axia accidentally spilled dried fruits all over her body.
You know, the purpose of opening her store is not to make money.
As soon as Ning Weimin recognized Axia, he ordered a bottle of the most expensive whiskey in the store - Yamazaki Twelve Years Old - without asking the price.
Even if she and Axia had to share it equally according to the rules, and the income from this bottle of wine was half of the lady's, she still earned thirty-five thousand yen almost in one go.
So what else can she complain about for this kind of unintentional mistake that can bring her wealth?
She only felt that a wealthy businessman like Ning Weimin was worth ten.
It would be great if Axia could attract a few more such generous guests.
Mama-san even took the initiative to present a big fruit plate and a plate of wagashi made by herself out of joy.
However, although the price is listed at 5,000 yen, the actual cost is only 1,500 yen, which is just an illusion.
As for President Takahashi, he also has nothing to be afraid of or unhappy about.
Because Snakoo didn’t pay for the 95,000 yen bottle of whiskey.
When Ning Weimin asked for the wine, he made it clear that the bottle of wine was for meeting friends in a different place, specifically to flatter Axia, and that he would pay for it himself.
So President Takahashi said a few polite words and stopped insisting.
Japanese people have always had the habit of drinking in AA mode, even when male and female friends, superiors and subordinates drink together.
So in fact, President Takahashi got the benefit of the doubt.
Not only did he drink good wine and eat a fruit plate, but he could even accompany Ning Weimin because of Axia.
Even Mama-san, whom he likes, no longer has to greet others. She can sit next to him and concentrate on drinking with him.
What’s wrong with this?
But having said that, President Takahashi was also overflowing with curiosity about the chance encounter that happened in front of him.
His eyes kept looking at Ning Weimin and Axia who were whispering at the bar, and all he was asking about was about Axia.
"Hey, Mama-san, when did that lady named Axia come? Why haven't I seen her? Where is the original Miss Hanako in your store?"
"Oh, President Takahashi, you haven't been here to take care of our store's business for more than half a month. No wonder you don't know anything about the changes in our store?"
Mama-san first looked at us with a resentful and resentful look. said.
Until President Takahashi apologized repeatedly, explaining that the club has been busy recently, but the social fees should also increase accordingly.
And I promise to come here often in the future.
She smiled, pushed President Takahashi coquettishly, and answered happily.
"Asya, today is the tenth day since you came to work here. The Hanako you are talking about, she disliked the poor business in the store and has resigned from me. She probably went to Kabukicho to dance."
Because President Takahashi has been drinking Snake for twenty years, he is considered a senior drinker.
He could clearly see from the curling smoke of incense that the young lady named Axia was full of contradictions.
Although she has a good figure, she is also very beautiful. She even lights cigarettes and pours wine for others with grace and skill.
At first glance, it seems that he is not new to this industry. He is definitely a veteran who has worked in bars.
But what's a bit inexplicable is that she always gives people a feeling of being superior.
Just like a noble queen entertaining guests in her castle, she only treats people with distant politeness and reserved politeness.
Although he was smiling all over his face, the sharpness in his eyes made it difficult for people to get close to him.
She doesn’t even know how to lower her head and act coy, which is the basic trick for Japanese women to act coquettishly.
Is this what makes foreign women different from Japanese women?
"This Miss Axia is a bit strange..." President Takahashi couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes." The wide-eyed Mama-san couldn't help but nodded slightly. "Did you see it too? She is so beautiful and has such temperament, but for some reason, she can keep most men away. Originally, I thought that having such a high-quality lady come to the store would make the business better. Well, it turns out that only customers with eccentric temperaments do what she does. Oh my, it’s really distressing..."
"Has she ever done this before?"
"Yes, indeed. She is not a novice. She understands the general rules and has a good drinking capacity. "But she is from Hong Kong and has just arrived in Japan."
"That means she is a foreigner." Is it because of her? How is her Japanese language skills? Can she communicate normally with customers? ”
"It's almost like the guest you brought. He's very fluent."
"Well, speaking of it, the two of them are really destined. They actually met again in a foreign country. It was like a plot in a movie. Same."
"That's right. I think President Ning must be a regular customer of Axia? It would be a good thing for the store if he is willing to come here often."
"Maybe. But the age of the two people is always a bit incompatible."
"What's the point? No matter how old a man is, he will always be a child, and a woman will only be older than a man. Some people only care about others. Isn’t it because I am a few years older than you that you come here often? Your wife should be younger than you, why don’t you just go home and drink at my place?” br>
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake. I'm sorry, Mama, but you are right. No matter how strong a man is, there are times when he is tired. There are certain things that he cannot say to his wife, let alone his subordinates, and he can only run away. Go to Snaku and talk to the considerate Mama Sang. If you hadn't always wiped my tears with a warm towel and comforted me, it would be fine tomorrow. The sun still rises. I am afraid that I have been defeated by the difficulties at work. You are the haven of my soul."
"Oh, you have already said these things. It’s been twenty years, which makes us all look old. I still remember when you first came here, you were just two years old. You were so handsome. You looked a bit like Toshiro Mifune at that time. If you propose to me, maybe I will agree..."
"Mama-san, if you say that, it's really a pity. I can only blame you for being so beautiful. It's hard for me to muster up the courage. Courageous. To be honest, in my eyes, Mama-san is more beautiful than Yamamoto Fujiko..."
However, President Takahashi and Mama-san said like an "old married couple" When joking and talking about light topics.
Ning Weimin and Axia sat side by side on the high stools in front of the bar, but the content they talked about seemed a bit heavy.
Because Axia was telling Ning Weimin the general story of how she came to Tokyo.
To put it simply, the main reason is that something happened to Mr. Hong in Hong Kong City.
As early as 1984, the British Hong Kong government sent a new airborne chief to the Hong Kong city.
The first thing a new official does when he takes office is that in order to establish his authority, this British guy will inevitably target the most prestigious person in the world.
As a result, Mr. Hong, who was rumored to have made tens of billions through gangs in ten years, became the official's target.
But what the British guy never expected was that Mr. Hong had already washed his hands and landed ashore a few years ago.
There are not many businesses under his name that violate the law.
He worked in vain for a long time. Not only did he never catch Mr. Hong, but he made Mr. Hong laugh at him behind his back.
So the British became so angry that they simply asked people to go to Mr. Hong's bar every three days to check the cards, causing the business of Mr. Hong's bar to drop a lot.
Mr. Hong also knew that he had caused trouble and the situation was rough, so he simply sold the bar. I took the money and left Hong Kong, and went to meet friends and travel around Asia.
Stay in Bangkok for a few days, Taipei for a few days, gamble in Macau, and then go to Hakone to soak in hot springs.
Although I left my hometown, my life was still happy.
This is why Ning Weimin met this 14K boss in the capital.
But Mr. Hong should not do it at all. Before leaving, he left some cruel words in Hong Kong City.
He threatened that he would come back sooner or later and would definitely find an opportunity to kill the British guy and avenge his previous disgrace.
These words may be just words to him, but he has a good reputation after all.
After it reached the ears of the official, he must take it seriously, which made him angry and hateful.
To say that this person is ruthless enough, he simply strikes first and finds a lot of false witnesses to accuse himself.
Then when Mr. Hong returned to Hong Kong to worship his ancestors last year, he set up an ambush and arrested Mr. Hong.
Although there was no actual evidence, because the British guy had already cleared up the relationship in advance, a tacit understanding was reached in the court.
The unprepared Mr. Hong was caught off guard and suffered a big loss, and in the end he was about to sit through the jail.
Before going to jail, all he could do was make a phone call to Axia in the capital through his lawyer.
Let her quickly end the underground bank business in mainland China and try to protect herself from being implicated.
As for Axia, after listening to Mr. Hong’s instructions, she immediately followed them.
But the situation is irreversible after all.
The news that Mr. Hong was about to be imprisoned soon spread from Hong Kong City to the underground society in Southeast Asia within days.
As a result, many former friends have become enemies who add insult to injury.
Those who can look on with cold eyes are already considered to have a conscience.
In this case, Axia had no ability to protect the properties of the underground bank for Mr. Hong.
She knew that there must be many people looking for her for Mr. Hong's money, so she finally used the money in her hand to buy a road and passed through all the barriers.
I even took a trip from Thailand and Indonesia before hiding in Tokyo, Japan.
But I didn’t expect that God’s calculations are not as good as those of people.
Even if she finally hid in Roppongi, Tokyo, this little Snake store came, but she still met Ning Weimin here.
After saying these words, there began to be a relatively long silence between Ning Weimin and Axia.
Time can almost be calculated by smoking a cigarette.
For no other reason than that these things themselves are sad and embarrassing.
Both of them are also thinking about what today's unexpected meeting means to their respective situations.
To be honest, no matter who it is, they feel a little bit like scolding their mother, and they all feel that meeting each other is worse than missing them.
Through this incident, Axia has understood that there is no absolute safety in this world.
No matter how hard you hide, you are likely to meet anyone who knows you anywhere.
Of course he is worried that because Ning Weimin has seen him, his whereabouts will be revealed.
In turn, Ning Weimin was under suspicion because of this, and from then on he took on the responsibility of keeping Axia's mouth shut.
What an injustice to him if something happens to Axia in the future!
What's more, Axia will definitely not tell the truth. This is also a tacit thing between them.
Regarding Mr. Hong's property, children, and prison term, Axia must have been careless.
Ning Weimin knew very well, because if it were him, he would do the same thing.
The heart is separated from the belly, so speak half way.
So God knows how many people are looking for Axia and want to get something from her.
This means that the more he knows about A’xia, the easier it will be to cause trouble for himself.
But then again, what can we do now that things have come to this?
He can't walk out the door, just because he hasn't been here today.
Now that he has seen what he should have seen, it won't help if he just pretends to be dumbfounded.
Moreover, he also knows some things that even Axia doesn’t know.
That is the year when Hong Kong City returns, Mr. Hong will be released from prison, and he will be a good man again.
Although he no longer lives in the world and is no longer an underground emperor, Mr. Hong still has status and prestige in the world.
With just a few words, he still helped Hong Kong City's "big Liu'er" to deal with Hu Xiu Yong, who no one could handle.
And he used this to let "Big Liu'er" obediently guard the beauty and spend the whole night with him.
And this guy not only became an enthusiastic philanthropist in Hong Kong City in the future.
Use yourself as an example everywhere to guide young people not to go astray.
It has also relied on online gambling to become the largest bookmaker in control of sports betting in Southeast Asia.
So for such a person who has scriptures in one hand and a sharp knife in the other, who saves all living beings, eats, drinks and enjoys without delay, I don’t know if he is a Bodhisattva or a Rakshasa master.
Ning Weimin thought it would be better to make some emotional investment in advance and save some points.
At least there will be someone to take care of him when he goes to set up camp in the port city in the future.
It is better than worrying in vain and getting no benefit at all.
He couldn't have failed to hit the fox, and it would have caused him a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, he now has a backbone and knows how to face the situation in front of him.
Firstly, don’t ask too much about things you shouldn’t inquire about. Secondly, try your best to show goodwill to Axia and show sympathy to Mr. Hong.
To put it bluntly, no matter who the god is, it is right to burn a stick of incense first.
Even if this is a timely help, it can always leave some incense and affection.
It will be easy to meet Mr. Hong in the future when he becomes the leader again.
