National Tide 1980.

Chapter 1012 Smart Woman
It was almost 11:30 noon when Keiko Matsumoto arrived at Tangong Restaurant with the guests she had invited.

It was less than twenty minutes before the opening ceremony officially started.

You know, according to the Japanese concept of time, even the least important appointment needs to be at least 15 minutes in advance.

In this way, it should be said that on this occasion, Matsumoto Keiko and the others came at such a time, and they were already relatively late among the guests.

Changing to someone else seems to make people speechless.

But if you look at the real relationship between Keiko Matsumoto and Ning Weimin, it will undoubtedly appear that she doesn't take this matter very seriously and is more perfunctory.

Could it be that Keiko Matsumoto treated this matter with such a contemptuous attitude?
Or is there some unknown conflict between her and Ning Weimin?
No!Not so.

In this world, things are often not as they seem.

In fact, the time of Matsumoto Keiko's arrival today was completely calculated and deliberately done by her.

This is both a wisdom and a strategy.

First of all, Matsumoto Keiko knows best how women should add luster to men.

She also knows best how much Ning Weimin has paid for the opening of this restaurant.

Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, how Ning Weimin went to work for this restaurant every day.

But through the daily contact and conversation between the two of them, she also understood how much Ning Weimin attached importance to the opening of this restaurant, how much he devoted himself to it, and how much thought he put into it.

Especially when the decoration of the restaurant is nearly complete, when she has seen it with her own eyes.

In addition to being surprised and admiring from the bottom of his heart, he could feel that every inch of the layout of this restaurant was infiltrated with Ning Weimin's painstaking efforts.

Then there is no doubt that the opening day must also be the highlight moment for Ning Weimin to accept guests to congratulate him.

It was precisely because Keiko Matsumoto knew this that she didn't want to overwhelm the host because of her arrival.

He didn't want those celebrity guests he invited to take away the attention that Ning Weimin should have enjoyed.

So she deliberately brought her friends to come a little later, in order to give Ning Weimin enough space to express himself, prolonging the time he enjoys alone, which is equivalent to increasing his happiness.

This is the embodiment of her respect for Ning Weimin.

Secondly, although the guests at the opening ceremony are all important, their importance and intimacy will never be the same.

Generally speaking, this importance and closeness can often be reflected in the time of attendance at the event.

It must be that the more important people come later, and the closer people come earlier.

On this day, Matsumoto Keiko invited a few movie stars who belonged to Shochiku and had a good relationship with Ning Weimin to cheer him on.

Relying on the special status of "Songchiku's First Sister", she also brought in the president of Shochiku Film Co., Ltd. and the well-known director Yoji Yamada who is filming "Movie World" to give Ning Weimin a platform.

Well, considering the status of the latter two in the Japanese film industry, of course it is not easy to come too early.

So Keiko Matsumoto was deliberately stuck at this point in time, and it was just the right thing to bring people over.

Neither far nor near, neither distant nor close.

In fact, twenty minutes is enough time for the arrival of these movie stars to attract the attention of reporters, to create enough gimmicks for the opening ceremony of the restaurant, and to discuss related topics.

At the same time, you don't have to deal with the reporter's interview for too long, so you won't be too troubled.

Especially in the last period, Ning Weimin must be waiting for the most distinguished and important guests to visit.

Then Matsumoto Keiko could just be a supporting flower to accompany Ning Weimin and assist him in the final reception work.

This is also increasing Ning Weimin's face and glory.

Finally, there is one more point, which belongs to Keiko Matsumoto's embarrassing thoughts on humanity.

Some time ago, she was really bothered by the negative news in the newspapers, and she had been avoiding the media's tracking until recently, and finally calmed down.

So she really didn't want to be pestered by reporters and ask embarrassing questions at the opening ceremony of Tangong Restaurant.

Although participating in the opening of Tangong Restaurant this time, she will inevitably have to face many media reporters. This is an unavoidable situation for her.

But if she can come a little later, it will definitely relieve some of her psychological pressure, and she will always feel more relaxed.

Speaking of which, in fact, Keiko Matsumoto still has some small differences in how to deal with the interference of negative news.

On the one hand, Ning Weimin was very busy some time ago and devoted himself to his career.

There is almost no time to pay attention to the news, and it is even more impossible to pay attention to the lace news of the entertainment version.

No matter how embarrassed Matsumoto Keiko was, he would not have to worry about explaining to Ning Weimin.

There is no need to worry about affecting Ning Weimin's emotions and hindering his work because of his own affairs.

Another point is that in order to better promote the restaurant, Ning Weimin suddenly proposed an ingenious idea to Matsumoto Keiko when he was on vacation at Sakura Hot Spring a few days ago.

Ning Weimin hopes that Keiko Matsumoto can become one of the shareholders of the Ginza branch of Tangong Restaurant.

This way, you get the best of both worlds.

Not only can it add a star restaurant gimmick to Tangong Restaurant, it will help attract customers.

It can also give Matsumoto Keiko some extra income, which is nothing but money that is not for nothing.

For Ning Weimin's request, Matsumoto Keiko resisted at first.

Because she originally wanted to invest her own money to express her support for her lover's career.

But Ning Weimin refused to accept it, and insisted on giving her some dry stock on behalf of the investor of Tangong, which made Matsumoto Keiko feel very embarrassed, thinking that it was suspected of taking advantage.

However, under Ning Weimin's insistence, Matsumoto Keiko thought again.

This move will not only allow her to run for her lover's career in an open and aboveboard manner, but also give her a powerful weapon to attend the celebration and answer questions from reporters.

I believe that as long as she mentions her shareholder status as a topic, no reporter will be interested in the negative news about her some time ago, and will go to stir up outdated cold food.

Therefore, as soon as Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko returned to Tokyo, they quickly went to change the Fujimoto of Tangong Restaurant together.

Today's Matsumoto Keiko has become an individual shareholder of Ginza Tangong Restaurant, accounting for 5.00% of the shares, and can be regarded as one of Ning Weimin's bosses.

And it turns out that Keiko Matsumoto's way of thinking about the problem is indeed correct.

On the day of the event, Keiko Matsumoto walked into the gate of Tangong Restaurant with the people from Shochiku Yinghua.

The group of them were photographed frantically by the photographers and videographers invited by Ning Weimin.

There were also all kinds of media who had been waiting in the banquet hall for a long time, and the microphone was handed over without any explanation.

These people even tracked down the guests invited by Matsumoto Keiko, and refused to give up.

Needless to say, among all the stars, Matsumoto Keiko has become the key target of being besieged by reporters.

Some difficult gossip reporters, sure enough, start asking unpleasant and sensitive questions.

However, when Keiko Matsumoto took out the bait of being a shareholder, these reporters were like dogs chasing after seeing a meat bun thrown out.

No one bothered to ask those inappropriate questions anymore.

And those celebrity friends of Keiko Matsumoto also tacitly turned the topic to the topic of restaurants, expressing their expectations for Chinese royal cuisine.

Even Yoji Yamada, a famous director, said with interest that he admired Chinese culture and appreciated the cultural atmosphere of the restaurant.

In particular, the president of the company, he highly praised Matsumoto Keiko's business ability and expressed his optimism about the restaurant's prospects.

As a result, the rumors of the two people's disagreement disappeared without a trace.

Who said that a woman is virtuous without talent?
Does this old saying show the lack of self-confidence of ancient men, or a kind of incompetent cowardice?

Aren't smart women worth loving?
Isn't it worth it?
…………

Undoubtedly, for Ning Weimin, the answer to this question is obviously "worth it".

Because no one knows the value of EQ and IQ better than him.

Among other things, taking the opening ceremony in front of you as an example, it is far from being as simple as inviting guests to a meal.

Banquet, as the most common form of communication in people's communication, is a medium for making friends and increasing contact with society.

Banquet, as a communication platform for official and business needs, can make strangers who attend the banquet familiar from unfamiliar.

Not only can people who have always been on guard let go of their guard, competitors can become partners, but leaders and bosses can also be turned into friends or even Bole...

Precisely because all interpersonal relationships in the world may be changed by a banquet, and because banquets have great magic power in interpersonal communication and social activities, the planning and preparation of banquets must not be sloppy at all.

If there is a detail that is not in place or a problem occurs.It may turn this good thing of treating guests to dinner into a bad thing.

It even turned the matter of asking for help into offending people, resulting in loss of contacts, being underestimated, dissatisfied customers, business failure and other irreversible and bad consequences.

Such backfired treats are not uncommon.

The more important the banquet, the more it cannot be failed, and the negative impact it can produce is probably beyond the imagination of most people.

So no matter what the reason for organizing the banquet, no matter how meticulous the preparation and hard work are, it is not an exaggeration for the host.

To put it bluntly, a banquet is just a game.

A banquet person who is good at organizing the banquet can help himself succeed only if he knows how to prepare for the banquet skillfully, strives to achieve perfection in every detail, and makes the banquet seamless.

Today's Ning Weimin has experienced so many things, and has basically grown into a master of the game.

This is not only fully reflected in his design and layout of the restaurant, selection and requirements of the menu, and formulation of the list of guests.

As for his own brainstorm, turning Matsumoto Keiko into a shareholder of Tangong, it can also be reflected.

Everything is for one ultimate goal.

He wants to promote the palace dishes of Tangong Restaurant to the altar in Japan.

Set up a successful model for high-end Chinese food to open up overseas markets.

He wants to tell the world the true beauty of Chinese food.

He wanted to prove that before Tan Gong went abroad, there was no real Chinese food overseas.

It was also because of this that he would always stare at Keiko Matsumoto with undisguised admiration.

To be honest, today is the first time that Ning Weimin and Keiko Matsumoto have attended a public event together.

On such an occasion, Ning Weimin was pleasantly surprised to find that his woman was really outstanding.

First of all, because of his understanding of Matsumoto Keiko, Ning Weimin knew that she was definitely not the kind of woman who tried every means to attract the opposite sex just to satisfy her own vanity.

In fact, as far as Ning Weimin knows, Keiko Matsumoto hates her inherently sexy and flirtatious image on the screen.

Therefore, although her self-grooming is meticulous, she has always only considered the occasion to go and prepared for the needs of social etiquette.

Like today, her makeup and clothes can only be evaluated as solemn and elegant, very decent and dignified.

But even so, her natural beauty and charm are also 100% attractive to men.

Even among a bunch of movie stars, she is the most eye-catching one.

It can be said that the brilliance of light is completely the effect of stars holding the moon.

As for herself, she is actually very used to meeting different eyes in public.

Whether it is kindness, malice, ulterior motives, or envy, she can face it calmly, which is also an amazing ability.

Even Ning Weimin admires her. Not only can she keep smiling all the time, accept all the scrutiny from others cheerfully, chat with people warmly and kindly, and take pictures with others, but also can be like a fish in water in such an environment, maintaining a dignified posture in all walks of life. Among the guests.

Fully demonstrate its polite and thoughtful communication demeanor, making anyone who deals with it feel like a spring breeze.

To be honest, if you use artistic virtue to measure an artist.

Matsumoto Keiko is simply a model of dedication among Japanese film actors, and I am afraid that it is enough to give a lesson in etiquette to famous domestic actors.

But the most important thing is that such a beautiful and sociable Japanese movie star, who is the most famous movie star in Japan, comes to him for free regardless of pay.

It's completely silly dedication, giving with all your might.

How could Ning Weimin not feel relieved and proud of this?
Even he felt that he seemed too black-hearted, and shouldn't use his lover like this, it seemed that he had desecrated his love.

Of course, compared with shame and guilt, there is more unparalleled satisfaction and emotion.

Matsumoto Keiko's performance today made Ning Weimin feel a desire and need that is stronger and more essential than love.

He was very grateful that he had found a woman like Keiko Matsumoto, maybe she was not perfect in every way, maybe in the eyes of many people they were not a good match.

But as a lover, as a personal emotional need, Matsumoto Keiko fully meets his ideals, even beyond his imagination.

It made him have a new understanding of the saying "Go up to the hall, go down to the kitchen".

Obviously, in today's era, words like "good wife" no longer refer to a good wife who hangs around the family every day.

At least for him, Matsumoto Keiko is the ideal person.

He became more and more certain that the woman in front of him was not his temporary need, but the long-standing longing in his soul.

At this time, the chef in the back kitchen has already pushed out the ice sculpture needed for the opening ceremony - a big boat that rides the wind and waves.

Both Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko realized that it was time for the celebration to begin.

So they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, showed a smile, and walked onto the stage one after the other like a husband and wife singing together.

As Keiko Matsumoto stood in front of the microphone and delivered an opening speech, the guests who were chatting quickly quieted down and gave warm applause...
