National Tide 1980.

Chapter 1254 Vision

But there is no free lunch in the world, and she doubted whether there were other hidden conditions behind this opportunity.

After all, she only helped Ning Weimin a small favor, but such good luck fell on her. It was simply too dreamy.

After all, she could also sense Ning Weimin's preference for her and felt that she had become a substitute for a certain girl, so the last sentence was also a test from her.

But there are some things she won't trade. She's not as unscrupulous as some models who are willing to trade everything for a career.

Even Ning Weimin, who is handsome and rich, is not suitable.

"Isn't it easy to thank me? The second thing I'm going to tell you today is your chance to thank me."

"You...you said..."

"Qingzi and I have decided to get married. You should have heard about it, right?"

"Yeah. So...so?"

"Why are you so nervous? It's like this. We have decided to hold the wedding once in Japan and once in Beijing. Keiko will be organizing the wedding banquet in Japan, and it may be held soon. However, I don't have many relatives and friends in Tokyo. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I can only invite a few people from the embassy to the wedding to make up the numbers. What do you think? Are you willing to come and show your support? Don't make me look so unpopular that I don't even have a few friends from my hometown in Tokyo. It will make the Japanese question my character..."

Fortunately, Ning Weimin's conditions were completely normal, and his words revealed a sense of intimacy as if he treated her as a friend.

This made Yao Peifang not only relieved, but also felt honored.

"That... that's not right. Of course, no problem. I... I will definitely go."

Just after making the promise to attend the wedding, Yao Peifang felt a slight pain in her heart for some reason.

This is why?

Such a reaction was surprising even to herself.

However, before Yao Peifang had time to think clearly, Ning Weimin made another shocking move, which completely confused Yao Peifang.

"Okay, I'll send you the invitation later. This envelope is for you. Here, besides 500,000 yen, there is also a note. The interview date, address and contact information are all written on it..."

"What? Five hundred thousand yen? For me?"

Hearing the amount of money, Yao Peifang was really scared and resisted firmly, "No, no, I don't want it... You have given me such a good opportunity, how can I..."

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin's next words hit the nail on the head, which really put Yao Peifang in an awkward position.

"What are you talking about? Here you go again! It seems you still don't understand. Didn't I just tell you that the role you want to fight for is a rich lady. You can't just go to the audition in casual clothes, right? There are ordinary ladies like you, don't let the director reject you at first sight. This money is for buying you clothes, and you have to be dazzling, just like when you participate in the modeling competition. Do you understand?"

"I...I...it won't take that much!"

"Oh, this is Japan, not China. In China, Pierre Cardon is considered a luxury item. But if you go to the truly international brand stores in Japan, it's common to see a dress costing 200,000 or 300,000 yen. If you buy a pair of shoes and some jewelry, it may not be enough. Besides, you have to attend my wedding. In addition to clothes, you also have to pay for travel expenses. I can arrange accommodation for you, but you have to give me a red envelope of 30,000 yen, right? Why? You can't use this money, and you have so much money in your own hands?"

Ning Weimin's idea made Yao Peifang suddenly realize, but at the same time he also felt embarrassed.

Her imagination was limited by poverty, so she never thought that buying clothes would cost so much money.

  Buying clothes that cost more than 10,000 yuan a piece and wearing them on yourself is simply a sin!

For a moment, she hesitated, completely unsure of what to do.

"No, then... then..."

Ning Weimin was very happy and took the initiative to make the decision for her.

"Don't be so fussy. Great things are achieved without being fussy about small details. Just do as I say. At most, I'll just lend you the money temporarily. Xiaoyao, you're a smart girl. I understand why you keep refusing my financial help. Didn't I also take the initiative to give up the commission from the Tan Palace Restaurant? You see, we both have the same idea. We both understand the same principle: only by giving can you gain. But you should also learn to be flexible and don't be stubborn."

But even good intentions require proper methods and ways.

Perhaps it was because Ning Weimin's attitude was somewhat condescending and lecturing, which still aroused a little rebellious emotion in Yao Peifang.

"Ah, we are the same? You must be kidding me. How can we be compared? It's completely different, right? You gave up tens of millions of yen! I can't bear to part with it. If I had the ability to earn that much money, I would definitely not give it to others!"

Although she knew that Ning Weimin was doing this for her own good, Yao Peifang couldn't help but retort a few words out of pride.

"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, are you really confused or just pretending to be confused? Big and small are relative. The principle is the same." Ning Weimin was a little amused.

"No way. I really don't understand. I've never been able to figure it out. Isn't business for money? If you give up even such a large commission that you deserve, then no matter how hard you work to run the Dan Palace, if the money is shared by others, what's the point? Don't you feel that you're at a disadvantage? I really want to know what you think. 20 million yen, if converted into RMB, that's 1 million. You say you don't want the chance to become a millionaire? Not to mention the 40 million or 50 million yen in the future."

Relying on her gender advantage as a girl and Ning Weimin's favor, Yao Peifang was not worried at all that her unreasonable arguments would lead to failure. She was absolutely sure that her pretentiousness would work.

Of course, she was not completely ignorant. These questions had been lingering in her mind for a long time, and she had indeed reached the point where she had to speak them out.

This was a good opportunity to take advantage of the conversation and ask boldly.

Sure enough, Ning Weimin was not angry. Instead, he patiently answered the questions like a teacher.

"Ha, you really want to make me laugh. Then do you know that I run more than just the Tan Gong Restaurant in Tokyo? I also do many other businesses. Apart from other things, the money I personally earn from the agency business of several brands of trolley suitcases far exceeds the commission of Tan Gong Restaurant. The official background of several investors of Tan Gong Restaurant can not only make it easier for me to obtain approval from the Japanese side when applying for a visa and re-staying, but also give me a certain identity protection, so that I can avoid harassment from many bad forces in Japan. It can even increase my personal credibility. , it will be much easier to deal with Japanese banks and apply for loans. Not to mention, it is also very convenient for me to entertain clients. I am not afraid to tell you that this restaurant can save me tens of millions of yen in social expenses and living expenses every year just on food and drink. If Dan Gong can really open a second or third branch in Japan, I will undoubtedly have more help. Then why should I worry about this little commission? Little girl, I am not a saint. There is really no benefit. I will not do anything purely dedicated. The reason why you don’t understand is because there are some things you can’t see. Needless to say, for Yao Peifang, these words completely refreshed her cognition.

Only then did she realize that Ning Weimin was doing selfish things in the name of selflessness.

It turns out that everything that is unreasonable is actually quite reasonable. It’s only because my vision is too narrow that I can’t figure out the key points.

But girls, the closer they are emotionally to someone, the less willing they are to admit defeat verbally.

"Okay, I admit that I haven't thought about what you said. You did teach me a lesson today. But even the wisest man can make mistakes, and you haven't thought everything through. Now that we've come to this point, I have to kindly remind you that you seem to be a little too anxious to open a branch in Tan Palace, and you've overlooked a very important thing."

"Oh, what's the matter? I'd like to hear more about it."

Ning Weimin's tone was a bit like coaxing a child. Although he was very cooperative, it made Yao Peifang feel even more looked down upon.

She didn't care about keeping the secret any longer and told it all in one breath.

"You gave up commissions and gave bonuses to everyone. Not only did you give up money, you also took on responsibilities. These investors all have superiors. Their willingness to support you does not mean that there are no hidden dangers. Think about it, what if the higher-ups find out that you used commissions to pay bonuses to others. What will you do if you are really punished? Manager Ning, no one will share the burden for you at that time. I advise you to think of a way to make some arrangements in advance."

But Ning Weimin's attitude remained unchanged. Instead, he laughed out loud, still as calm and composed as ever.

"Okay, thank you for your reminder. Xiaoyao, thank you for your kindness. However, I am very clear about my situation. I will not hide it from you. In fact, the old director and Qiao Wanlin have advised me about these words. But the key issue is that as long as you want to do something, there is no time when you don't need to take risks and no time when you don't take responsibilities. The bigger the thing you want to do, the greater the risk you have to take, and the heavier the burden you have to bear. Even if a person is capable of doing things, he must be brave enough to take on the responsibility. So I am not afraid of taking responsibility, which is what I should bear. Having said that, I would like to remind you again that you must not think that the 500,000 yen I gave you is just money. No, in fact, it is responsibility. If you want to get this role, you must first bear the weight of 500,000 yen. As I just said, the money can be regarded as a loan from you. You need this money, you have to spend the money and dress yourself up well, so that you can impress the director at the first meeting. If you get the role, you can easily repay it with the salary. If you can't get the role, the money will be wasted, which will naturally make you very uncomfortable. So my question now is, you always say that you need opportunities, but do you have the courage to take it with all your might?"

As if it were a sudden enlightenment, at this moment, Yao Peifang truly understood what choice Ning Weimin had put before her.

Deeply touched, she couldn't help but ask again.

"... Then... I... Can I ask, where does your courage come from? Aren't you afraid of the worst? You don't worry about gains and losses at all..."

"Me? The source of my courage is quite special, and others can't learn it. First, I work for a foreign company and I made a lot of money in Japan. Now I can go to most countries in the world if I want to. With such financial freedom, I can deal with any problem with ease. Second, I married a Japanese woman. And she's a famous star. You have to know that transnational marriages have their own advantages. Although it's a bit troublesome for two people to have different nationalities, it can also protect you at critical moments. If there really comes a day when some people in China want to put the board on me, it won't be so easy. They have to worry about the influence of public opinion, external influence, and whether I will break the jar and turn myself into a Japanese in anger. So there will always be something to discuss at that time."

Ning Weimin's answer surprised Yao Peifang.

However, she couldn't even be jealous of such arrogance.

They won the privilege of "having whatever they want and doing whatever they want" not by fate or luck, but purely by their own abilities.

This is probably the true meaning of "People are more likely to die than others".

"That's true. If you become a Japanese citizen, then... then you really have no responsibilities. If you are really forced to that point, will you...will you change your nationality?"

However, she did not expect that a "world citizen" like Ning Weimin still had an extremely pure Chinese heart.

"Me? Of course not. You are really annoying! Thinking of me like this is like scolding me. I can tell you this, my nationality is something I will never give up in my life, no matter what. I tell you this, if I really want to change it, Qingzi will follow me. I will always be a citizen of the Republic. But you, maybe you will marry a foreigner in the future, I think it's a bit far-fetched. If you change your nationality in the future, don't blame me for not recognizing you..."

"What? Me? I won't do that. I'm a Chinese in life and a Chinese ghost in death. If you don't believe me, let's make a pinky promise..."

As he thought about it, Yao Peifang unconsciously smiled.

  Is it satisfaction? Is it secret joy? Is it relief? Is it admiration? Is it closeness? Is it tacit understanding?

I'm afraid even she herself can't explain what it feels like.

Only one thing is certain, great wisdom and great love, this is heroic culture, which woman doesn't love a hero?

So although the experience of these ten days was indeed very hard, afterwards, she did not feel that she was suffering at all.

On the contrary, she felt that thanks to Ning Weimin, she experienced a different life, saw different scenery, heard different voices, and had thoughts and insights into many issues.

These may not seem important to ordinary people, but she knows that they are actually very important.

It can be said that even apart from the opportunities and help given by Ning Weimin, she still felt that this journey was worthwhile.

  As for their relationship... they can barely be considered friends, right?

To be honest, she is self-aware and has never had such expectations.

  They are not on the same level at all, so why should you be friends with them?

In her opinion, it was good enough that they could know each other, become acquaintances, and talk to each other.

She was really surprised and surprised that Ning Weimin thought so highly of her and was willing to treat her as a friend.

Perhaps the only bad thing is that Ning Weimin is a little too special and too charming.

Of course she knew that she should never fall in love with a man who was about to get married.

Once you move, it's like opening the gates of hell. There will be no other result except torment and harm yourself.

But the problem is, in this world, some people are born to bring disaster to the world and disrupt the world.

Sometimes, people's emotions and reason are at odds with each other.

  What should she do?

What can she do?
