Chapter 1236 Consequences of Provocation
“I’m sorry, I’m very sorry. It’s all our fault that this happened because of our negligence.”
“President, I’m really sorry to disappoint you today. "
As soon as they entered the elevator, before the elevator door closed, the Xiangchuan sisters who saw off the guests from the restaurant bowed ninety degrees and unanimously apologized to Ning Weimin.
The attitude is not only sincere, but also two carefully prepared and quite generous souvenirs - a Japanese snack gift box and a honeydew melon for each person.
Speaking of which, the wedding banquet is actually not over yet.
But by this time Ning Weimin had almost finished eating and drinking.
Matsumoto Keiko had a much smaller appetite than others, so she finished her meal early.
So they, who were impatient to socialize too much, thought it would be better to leave early and leave first.
In order not to disturb too many people, except for the Taniguchi family, Ning Weimin actually only said hello to Kagawa Rinko.
But Kagawa Rinko went to inform her sister and brother-in-law in a low voice, which led to the scene that happened in the elevator now.
As for why the Xiangchuan sisters apologized to Ning Weimin?
Of course it was because of the two people who took the initiative to provoke Ning Weimin and Director Taniguchi at today's wedding banquet.
The reason why those two guys are so arrogant is that their status is indeed a bit special.
They are not just ordinary members of the investment department at Taisho Insurance Company, but "second generation members" with some background.
The short and fat man's name is Yasuo Nagase, the nephew of a specialist at Taisho Insurance.
The tall and thin man is called Hideo Ninomiya. He is the son of the head of the sales department where Yujiro Sakai works. The man who presided over the wedding today is his father.
And that's not to mention, because during the process of contacting relatives of Sakai Yujiro, the Second Palace Minister fell in love with the bride's sister Kagawa Rinko at first sight.
I feel that this beautiful girl who came from a prestigious school is very suitable to be my daughter-in-law.
I also specifically asked Zuo Hai Yujiro to help negotiate the terms, hoping that this could lead to another marriage.
So it is completely conceivable why these two annoying guys are here today.
Why are you so indifferent to Yujiro Sakai?
It should be said that today's wedding, in addition to its own significance, is actually a blind date in disguise.
It was the meeting opportunity created by Sakai Yujiro and his boss for Ninomiya Hideo and Kagawa Rinko.
However, it is a pity that Hideo Ninomiya seemed to be careless about this matter, so that everything was messed up by himself.
First of all, he was late today with his friends. He didn't arrive until ten minutes after the wedding started. It was already very rude.
That's not all. It was precisely because they were late and did not see Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko entering the venue together that they had a verbal conflict with them.
And what’s even more ridiculous is that even Ning Weimin didn’t take this matter seriously.
But in the end, it turned out to be through their own mouths, and they let this scandal that should have been hidden be exposed to the world.
Maybe they have never suffered such a big loss and feel unhappy.
Perhaps they also feel that their own face is the most important, and believe that the groom who looks at their faces must unconditionally protect their own interests, so these two petty and arrogant people will take the initiative to complain to the groom Yujiro Sakai.
However, they didn’t expect to find out about Ning Weimin’s origins, only to find out that he was someone they shouldn’t mess with at all.
Needless to say, it was not just the two little Karamies who were panicking.
Not only Zuohai Yujiro and the Xiangchuan sisters, who invited Ning Weimin to the wedding, were deeply surprised and disturbed by this.
Even Hideo Ninomiya’s biological father, Minister Ninomiya, was really angry.
Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko are both people he wants to curry favor with but is worried about not finding the chance to do so. Why don't they want to sit at the guest of honor table?
Not to mention the great fame and social influence of Keiko Matsumoto, whom Ning Weimin is going to marry, Ning Weimin himself is also a big customer of Taisho Insurance.
No one knows the business situation of his subordinate Yujiro Sakai better than the second minister.
Ning Weimin gave Zuo Hai Yujiro nearly 20 million yen in real estate earthquake and fire insurance. Only then did Zuo Hai Yujiro have enough performance to stand out among the salesmen.
Such a person undoubtedly has great potential in the future.
One thing that is certain is that as their assets expand, neither Ning Weimin nor Matsumoto Keiko will have any problem spending hundreds of millions of yen to buy life insurance for themselves in the future.
But my son was directly offended by such a person.
Why did you create such a cheating bastard?
If I had known, I might as well have put it on the wall!
So self-blame is inevitable, and it is also necessary to try to make things right as soon as possible. For this reason, the Minister of the Second Palace made a plan with the groom and the bride.
Immediately after the bride and groom went to toast the guests at the table where Ning Weimin was sitting, they brought those two guys with them.
Then, after the Minister of the Second Palace apologized first, he also asked these two boys to apologize to Ning Weimin and Director Taniguchi in public. This matter was considered to have a more formal result and was truly resolved. It's come to an end.
What is this called?
This is asking for trouble.
Although for these two boys, their apology was not sincere, it was just a means to evade responsibility.
Moreover, out of consideration for his status, Ning Weimin must have acted calmly and said it generously on the spot. It was nothing, and he would not pursue the matter.
He even said a few nice words for the two idiots, but instead advised Director Taniguchi to accept the apology and not care too much.
But these two boys were really embarrassed.
The key is that they can't blame others, because they are purely self-inflicted, and their face is thrown to the ground by themselves and trampled on by others.
This is really in line with that sentence - if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place.
But having said that, for the groom, the bride, and Kagawa Rinko who were innocently involved, they were even more unlucky, and they suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Think about it, who did they provoke whom?
Spend money for happy events, but you have to bear joint and several liability for other people's faults.
Not only did he have to apologize to Ning Weimin and Director Taniguchi, he even had to appease the Minister of the Second Palace and the two perpetrators of this stupid thing.
This is called a fight between gods and gods, and the little devil will suffer.
Just like now, the Xiangchuan sisters bowed their heads to Ning Weimin, and Zuo Hai Yujiro also wanted to apologize.
Say nice things to a few idiots, put all the responsibility on yourself, and try your best to make them happy.
To be honest, people like them are the real victims. This is the tragedy of the little people.
But the good thing is that Ning Weimin is a reasonable person, at least reasonable to his own people. Moreover, he is a citizen of the Republic who grew up under the red flag and lived in the spring breeze.
I have received socialist education since I was a child, and I believe in the equality of all living beings and the equality of men and women.
He does not have the macho feudal mentality of the Japanese, nor does he have the preference to emphasize superiority and inferiority on the surface.
So he understood the difficulties of Sister Xiangchuan very well and responded kindly.
"It's okay, this is not your fault. Please don't blame yourself. If you want to blame me, it's actually me. Who made me not follow the arrangement and go to the guest of honor seat..."
And this undoubtedly makes him appear more considerate, more graceful, and more considerate of others.
It's just that only those who have no sense of hierarchy can accept the kindness he gives with peace of mind.
Actually, even if he said this, Kagawa Rinko still felt uneasy.
She actually shook her head and insisted, "No, it's our problem. It's our fault for our poor arrangements that caused you to be disturbed and neglected like this."
As a The bride, Miyoko, apologized again with practical actions and bowed deeply.
"President Ning, please forgive me. I am really sorry..."
Now Ning Weimin had no choice. He communicated with Matsumoto Keiko with helpless eyes and had to change his words.
First responded in a serious tone, "Okay, I accept your apology. Let us forget about this matter together. This little thing is really not worth mentioning. Don't let it destroy our Good mood, today is a great day for you. Seeing your heart-warming wedding ceremony, and seeing the bride and groom so loving, even we feel happy."
He then said half-jokingly. , "Not to mention that you prepared such a sumptuous meal and gave such luxurious souvenirs. Such friendship and thoughtfulness are even more touching. No matter what, we should all be happy. Thank you for your hospitality. , I always feel like I’m getting paid for nothing, which makes people a little scared.”
This is true. Just for souvenirs, each person has to spend seven or eight thousand yen, which makes this more and more solid. A wedding is bound to cost money.
Although the Kagawa sisters are always modest.
"What, what, a gift that is not worth mentioning, makes you laugh..."
"That is to say, President Ning, stop joking..."
But they finally did it for the wedding. It was done decently, and all the efforts were not in vain, so I smiled happily.
What's more, Matsumoto Keiko understands Ning Weimin's thoughts very well and understands that he wants to reduce the psychological burden on the sisters, so he also came to join in the fun at this time.
“It’s really true. Today’s wedding was so perfect. Seeing that your wedding was held with such splendor and dignity, we are all a little unsure about how to prepare for our own wedding. Now we are very worried about ourselves. The wedding will be a joke. Especially today, the bride is very, very beautiful. She is simply the "most beautiful person in the Three Kingdoms". So... can you tell me which makeup artist you chose? This professional opinion. I am very worried about my wedding image now..."
She deliberately said nice things in her mouth, which completely changed the topic and turned it into a completely relaxed topic about women.
In this way, with the help of such a virtuous wife and helper, Ning Weimin successfully resolved the tense and awkward atmosphere.
When the elevator came downstairs and opened, and several people walked into the grand hotel lobby together, all the unhappiness had been truly forgotten, and everyone returned to a relaxed state of talking happily.
Logically speaking, the next step is to say goodbye to each other and say goodbye.
Ning Weimin should take Qingzi to the gate to get in their car, while the Xiangchuan sisters should return to the restaurant to entertain and take care of other guests.
However, at this moment, two hotel customers who were discussing the Nikkei Index and stock quotes hurried past them.
The inescapable NTT reminded Ning Weimin of today's dispute.
Especially the way the two guests talked so braggingly was very much like the way Nagase and Ninomiya were arrogant in front of them today.
This inevitably made Ning Weimin have a sudden thought in his mind.
This not only prompted him to swallow his farewell, but even turned around and made a surprising request.
"Sorry, I still have a few words I want to say to Rinzi privately. Can you give me a few more minutes?"
In this way, Matsumoto Keiko and Miyoko stayed where they were and continued chatting.
Rinko Kagawa and Ning Weimin walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass wall not far away.
"President, do you have anything to tell me to do?"
Xiagawa Rinko asked curiously, she mistakenly thought it was about the management of the bookstore.
However, unexpectedly, Ning Weimin smiled slightly awkwardly and talked about a personal and extremely personal topic.
"No, no, I just want to...have a few words with you about marriage as a friend..."
"Ah! Marriage...marriage?"
Rinzi covered her mouth in surprise and opened her eyes wide. Questioned rather uncertainly.
"President, why would you ask me such a question..."
"Don't call me president, and don't use honorifics. We are just friends now, just chatting casually. Please treat me as a pure friend and forget that I am the president. Okay?"
"Okay Well, friend..."
"So with all due respect, I am actually a little worried about you. Rinzi, you have been busy with work and have to take time to help me manage the bookstore. This life situation is really unbalanced. It's normal to take care of your emotions. But I don't know if you have thought about what your married life is like. Can you tell me what your ideal marriage and future happiness are like? Are you like your sister and brother-in-law? Or like me and Qingzi? "What kind of life do you want to live?"
"I'm sorry, I haven't really thought about this. Why so suddenly..."
"If you haven't thought about it, you should think about it carefully, because this is the problem I am afraid of. Listen to me, I saw you in Pierre Cardin in Japan. The most creative and business-savvy person in the world. With your ability, I believe you will have a great future. Although Japan's social environment is still far from achieving equality between men and women, it is absolutely impossible for someone as talented as you. It will be buried. Why can’t you become Japan’s first female president?”
"Female president? Me? How is this possible?"
"Yes, how is it impossible? This is what I think. At least in China, that is the case. Europe and the United States have no problem, only Japan has the problem . So this is unreasonable, and it is destined to change one day in the future. Don’t you think Japanese women have the right to work now? This was also impossible in the past. In short, I believe that one day if you are willing. You can do it too."
"But...but..."
"But the Japanese family concept doesn't allow it, and there will be a lot of social pressure, right? Please note that I do not deny the traditional Japanese family model, but happiness does not mean the same thing to everyone. Just like I will not ask Keiko to retire after marriage, I am just afraid that she will become one. Pure housewives will be unhappy. Have you ever thought about why men have the final say in this world? Let me tell you, career gives men the power to rule the world, and career can also give women freedom. Of course she came to Tokyo to find happiness, right? At least she thought she had found it. But the question is, is this kind of happiness suitable for you? Is it what you want to be a housewife dependent on a man? I have no other meaning, I just feel that it is a pity that your talents are not put to good use, so I suggest you think about it carefully at the most important juncture in your life. I am just reminding you that it is possible to have diversified choices in career and love. At least I hope you don't give up your career after getting married, because from my understanding, you will not be willing to be a subordinate of a man, and no one is worth giving up. Self, are you right?”
At this moment, Ning Weimin’s eyes were bright and shining with magic.
Although he tried his best to look like a good-hearted person who is harmless to humans and animals, in fact, he was doing PUA things.
Well, he is just petty and vindictive. It’s just that you can’t let pigs take advantage of good cabbage, so what?
Directly advise Kagawa Rinko not to consider that Hideo Ninomiya, his qualifications are too low.
Anyway, as long as Kagawa Rinko can recognize him from the bottom of her heart, then such a fool will never have a chance to be with her again.
Still want a beautiful woman?
Eat shit if you want!
(Note: The most beautiful in the Three Kingdoms is a Japanese proverb. Translated, it means "the most beautiful bride in the Three Kingdoms", which is used to praise the bride for being very beautiful. However, these three kingdoms are not the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu that we are familiar with. But China, India, and Japan. In ancient times, Japan had very little knowledge of overseas countries, so at that time, Japan believed that there were only three countries in the world, and this meant the whole world)
