Japanese people pay attention to implicitness and euphemism in expression, and the higher the status, the more so.
So even after sitting down, Han Changzi kept focusing on desserts and coffee. By the way, he also gave Ning Weimin some knowledge about the history of Shiseido Dessert Shop.
Of course Ning Weimin could only listen obediently, occasionally expressing admiration and surprise.
He was very sober and knew that this was not the time for him to use his words or show off his cleverness.
Just wait until the circle that needs to be circled is completed, enough of the scene has been said.
The delicious dessert was eaten, and the temperature of the Irish coffee was lowered to the point where it exuded just the right charming aroma.
The conversation between them began to touch on the topic.
Han Changzi took the initiative to break the chat mode, "Frankly speaking, it was very sudden to receive your call. I was really shocked. What did you think? Why did you suddenly think of having to talk to me at this time? Shall I meet in private?”
Ning Weimin first expressed his apology and bowed.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Mainly because I accidentally learned not long ago that my relationship with Qingzi has caused great trouble to your family, so I thought of apologizing to you face to face. Let’s communicate by the way.”
Then he played the thoughtful and considerate emotional card.
“I heard that Qingzi’s father was very angry about this incident. In fact, Qingzi herself also regretted it. When she was filming in China, she was very unhappy because she was thinking about this incident. Considering that the New Year is coming soon, Qingzi will also go home, so in order to avoid any accidents that may ruin the reunion atmosphere of your family during the New Year meeting, I definitely want to meet you before the New Year. , I am responsible for this, but I also sincerely hope that your family can be in harmony and have a happy New Year. I have always heard from Qingzi that you are a reasonable, gentle and kind mother. Therefore, I would like to apologize to you in person. , to explain some misunderstandings, and I also want to ask for your opinion on how to properly handle this matter. What I hope is that in the end, Keiko can be happy without living up to your and uncle's expectations. ”
These words are quite beautiful.
Not only does he always think about Matsumoto Keiko's parents and family, he also quietly and frequently gives top hats to his future mother-in-law.
Inadvertently, Han Changzi drank a few mouthfuls of sweet rice soup, and his mood improved a little.
"Don't be nervous, your ideas are also very good. It cannot be said that all the responsibility for this matter lies with you. We are not the kind of shallow and ignorant parents, let alone unreasonable parents. Even Qingzi's father has a very bad temper. Big, but it’s all for the sake of my daughter. In fact, the reason why your relationship is so angry is mainly because Qingzi is too strict. She has not revealed anything about your relationship. If it hadn’t been exposed by the media, this would have happened. We are still kept in the dark about this. Think about it, the biological parents were the last to know about their daughter’s relationship, and they had to go through repeated interrogations to find out some information from their daughter. How can this be justified? Zi is an only daughter, and her father has high expectations for her and is very picky about her marriage..."
"I'm sorry, it's my responsibility, because just like what Qingzi said to the media. , I am an outsider. Qingzi kept it so strictly confidential just to protect my privacy and prevent my life from being disturbed by her. It’s all my fault that I took it for granted, so that our relationship could not be disturbed by the outside world. Qingzi is under inexplicable pressure. Don’t blame her, just blame me. I was too selfish and failed to think more about her.”
I didn’t evade responsibility, and I didn’t blindly obey. As Han Changzi said that Qingzi was wrong.
Ning Weimin completely took care of everything and shouldered everything on himself.
For this reason, although he knew that the person in front of him was very different from what he and her husband expected, and some problems might not be solved at all, Han Changzi could not help but develop a liking for Ning Weimin. The more he looked at The more pleasing to the eye.
As if unintentionally, she began to bring up sensitive issues.
"How did you two meet? Is your work related to the entertainment industry?"
"No, no, it was completely accidental that we met. Last year Keiko intended to sell Nishi-Azabu I visited the apartment of a friend as a part-time real estate agent. Because of this incident, after several contacts, we became more and more familiar with each other, and to be honest, things got better. , I never knew that Keiko turned out to be a big star. When I learned this, especially when I found out that I had seen her perform "March of Kamata" when I was in China, I was shocked. "
Han Changzi was amused. She could completely imagine the dramatic scene.
"Amin, it seems that you are much younger than Qingzi, right? How old are you two?"
With his spirits lifted, Ning Weimin also knew that the drama was coming.
But he was extremely smart, but he did not follow these words and tell the truth about his age.
Because he knows that it doesn’t actually matter how many years apart they are.
His future mother-in-law is just worried about the stability of their relationship and that their relationship will be a temporary passion.
“There is a few years difference in age between Qingzi and I, but we get along very harmoniously, and we have the same views on many things. This is not an exaggeration, our tacit understanding is really not ordinary, but That kind of recognition belongs to you. For me personally, being able to meet Qingzi is the luckiest thing that happened to me. With her by my side, I feel an unprecedented sense of happiness and security..."
"A sense of security?" Han Changzi was confused by this special word.
“Yes, I am an orphan, and I am not afraid of your jokes. In the past, my understanding of life was mostly rigid and indifferent. Not only was I lonely, I was always full of anxiety and restlessness, and my mood was somewhat unstable. Thanks to the gentleness and warmth that Qingzi brought to me, it was her care and concern for me that gave me a tender experience and a clearer understanding of the beauty of life. I felt very relaxed when I was with her. I have also become more fulfilling, and she is very talented, not only in acting, but also thanks to her reminders of many things that I did not expect. So no matter what others think of me and her, whether they doubt us or not. Do you think there is an age gap between us? Anyway, to me, Qingzi is the only person I am willing to spend the rest of my life with. If she hadn’t appeared, I would never have thought of getting married. It's different now, I can't live without her, so I need to beg for your permission..."
Ning Weimin did not shy away from exposing his shortcomings.
Although in Han Changzi's view, words such as "it must be you" are somewhat idealistic and extreme and should not be taken seriously.
I was even shocked to learn that he was an orphan, and I couldn't help but guess that his affection for his daughter probably stemmed from the lack of maternal love.
But having said that, this sincerity can be felt in real life.
And even though the age issue cannot be avoided, if what Ning Weimin said is true, then regardless of whether it is right or wrong, such an age difference will have a good effect on marriage.
“It’s a good idea to start a family and start a business! But will there be any difficulties in it?”
Some problems are really difficult for people to make a judgment for a while, so they simply don’t think about it. Han Changzi turned his attention to other aspects.
"It is not easy for young people nowadays to start a family in Tokyo, not to mention you are still a foreigner. It is not easy to stay in Tokyo. It must be a bit difficult, right? So what do you think about your future? What is the plan? ”
The question was asked tactfully and without any embarrassment.
But the subtext is actually asking Ning Weimin if he is a soft-boiled man.
This is not surprising. The current national power comparison between Japan and the Republic is too disparate.
As Ning Weimin, I am one of the very few lucky people who have come to Tokyo.
According to common sense, there are no good job opportunities. However, he seems to be living quite well. If it weren't for Matsumoto Keiko, how could he be like living in a honey jar?
Anyone who thinks about it will think so.
As a mother and the person who knows her daughter’s temperament best, Chang Zi would naturally worry that Ning Weimin would become a parasite that sucks her daughter’s blood.
Especially since he blatantly declared just now that he can no longer live without Qingzi.
If these words were not based on feelings but were mixed with economic factors, it would be too disgusting. It is an absolute gap marriage.
However, what is unexpected is that economics is exactly Ning Weimin's strength.
"There is no problem at all in this aspect. If I want to, it is more than enough to settle down in Tokyo and live a stable life. It is something that can be done at any time. Even if Keiko stops acting in the future, she will no longer Work. I won’t let her worry about financial issues.”
Ning Weimin’s words sounded a bit big to Han Changzi.
In disbelief, she exclaimed in surprise, "What? What did you say?"
There were many other guests in the restaurant, and there were also waiters around. It would be awkward to discuss this issue in detail. Too philistine.
So seeing someone paying attention, Ning Weimin decided to reveal only the tip of the iceberg of his wealth, vaguely revealing it to Han Changzi.
"To tell you the truth, my income is not lower than Keiko's, and I already have real estate that can collect rent in Tokyo. There are two properties not far from here. They are in 2-chome and 5-chome. One is a restaurant and the other is an apartment dormitory, which together add up to more than 300 square feet..."
"How...is this possible? How long have you been in Tokyo?"
Han Changzi regained his composure with difficulty, but still felt weird.
For no other reason than how high the land prices in Tokyo have risen today, especially in areas like Ginza.
Each square meter costs tens of millions of yen!
Ning Weimin's words are equivalent to saying that he has a net worth of at least tens of billions of yen.
Tens of billions of yen!
And it is a land asset that can be liquidated at any time!
This is something more reliable than any company, enterprise, or factory.
As a foreigner, God knows how he did it?
Of course Ning Weimin could understand Chang Zi’s feelings and continued to explain.
“I am employed by Pierre Cardon and came to Tokyo in the middle of last year. The reason why I came here is to promote the company’s trolley suitcases and high-end mid-range products invested by the company and several units in China. The restaurant has opened a branch. So unlike most Chinese people, my annual income is relatively high, and I can get extra dividends. In addition, I also have some savings, about 1.1 billion yen. I happened to catch up after I came to Tokyo. I bought real estate before land prices skyrocketed. I originally wanted to run a restaurant and provide dormitories for employees. I expected to earn some extra money for myself, but I didn't expect this decision to be like winning a lottery. In more than a year, the price of these lands has increased more than ten times..."
"It's really good."
Hearing this, Han Changzi sincerely praised him and was particularly happy.
In fact, it's not that she is greedy for money, the main thing is that the contrast is too great.
Originally, she was worried that her daughter would find a parasite like an embroidered pillow. From now on, Qingzi might be parasitized and suck blood by her husband.
But who knew that the young man in front of him was not only good-looking and lovable, but he was also a wealthy man.
Although it may be due to luck, he is so young, has no parents to help him, and is a Chinese from the third world. He actually had a huge amount of savings when he first came to Japan from China, which is already telling.
Leave it alone, Qingzi's father has struggled all his life, and now that he is in good times, even the company and the family's house are probably only worth two billion yen.
My daughter Qingzi has been famous for so long, but the money she earns is probably less than one billion yen.
God knows how this young man gained such a huge personal wealth purely from scratch in an economically backward country, a country that is against capitalism...
Think about it carefully, for Ning Wei She was not particularly concerned about how much money Min was making now. Instead, she was particularly curious about his life experience and eager to know Ning Weimin's personal situation in the Republic before coming to Japan.
Then he turned to ask, "When you were in China, which university did you graduate from? What major did you major in?"
Who knew that Ning Weimin was slightly demonic? With a smile, he gave an answer that she could never imagine.
"I didn't go to college. I didn't even finish middle school..."
"This...how is this possible?"
"You don't know the situation over there, but the fact is That's it. Our college students are as precious as national treasures. Due to limited higher education resources, only one in a thousand people can be born. It is too difficult for someone like this to take this path..."
Ning Weimin then began to report the resume of the original owner and explain the special circumstances in the country.
Anyway, he couldn't say that he drank too much and was poisoned by gas. He could only use Ning Weimin's painful past to explain it.
While his future mother-in-law listened attentively, she couldn't help but reveal more emotional changes in her facial expressions.
At one moment he was full of sympathy, at another moment he was full of surprise, at another moment he felt sad as if he was feeling the same thing, and at another moment he was happy that his situation had improved.
“You are saying that your situation began to improve after meeting Mr. Picardin himself.”
“Yes, my French boss did not care about my academic qualifications. , just because I had potential, they gave me an exceptional opportunity. And Ms. Song, the general manager of our company, gave me a platform to realize my potential. Without their support and cultivation, I would not be where I am today. Japan. ”
“If you don’t have a higher education, won’t you find it difficult to work? How can you bridge the gap with your colleagues? ”
"These are not difficult. The ability to deal with people and professional knowledge cannot be learned in school. Fortunately, I have a knowledgeable old man beside me to teach me. As for the knowledge of clothing and foreign languages, I can't learn it in school." I learned it at work, and now I can speak Japanese and English proficiently. I can also speak a few words in daily language. As for the gap between me and my colleagues, I have always been able to use my boss well. They all run their own business alone and have never been under any control. Their interpersonal relationships are even simpler. They usually don’t say harsh words and treat others in a gentle manner, but they dare to say tough things and do tough things at critical moments.”
Ning. Wei Min smiled and said calmly, "Although I like to win the trust, support and help of most people when I work, if necessary, I will stick to my own views and never compromise." (End of Chapter)
