Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

After finally convincing Lou Xiao'e to leave, Cao Zhiqiang sighed deeply.

That's the bad thing about working with Lou Xiao'e. The other party is always prone to overthinking, and always treats herself as her junior, doing all kinds of "for your own good".

Just like this time, Lou Xiao'e came here because she thought Zhu Lin was not simple, but a troublemaker, and didn't want her to get involved with her. She also believed that she and Zhu Lin were having an affair, so she came to break up.

If Cao Zhiqiang hadn't known Lou Xiao'e's weakness and counterattacked with a rhetorical question at the same time, touching Lou Xiao'e's mind and making her temporarily forget about the incident, we don't know what the outcome would have been.

"Forget it, no one is perfect. Their intentions are good after all, so there is no need to be too demanding."

After seeing off Lou Xiao'e, Cao Zhiqiang went to take a shower first, then changed into casual clothes, and walked out very low-key, preparing to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

Although there is a food delivery service here, there are only a few things that can be eaten by the food delivery service.

But to get truly delicious food, especially authentic Cantonese morning tea, you have to go to a regular restaurant.

And many things have to be eaten ready-made to taste delicious. If they are delivered, the taste will not be authentic.

When Cao Zhiqiang stayed at Kowloon Shangri-La before, out of caution, he always had room service.

The reason for this is also very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang is a public figure after all. Although not many people in Hong Kong know him, there is no big mistake in being careful.

Now that I am about to leave, I have to go to the restaurant here to have a serious meal.

Especially the Chinese restaurants in the Shangri-La Hotel. The first restaurant is called Shang Palace. It is quite famous, especially the Cantonese cuisine, which is very authentic.

In his previous life, Cao Zhiqiang had heard of Shang Palace at the Shangri-La Hotel, but he had never tried it.

This time I had the opportunity to come to the Shangri-La Hotel's Kowloon store, and I had to experience it once.

In addition to Shang Palace, other restaurants such as Italian restaurants, Japanese restaurants, etc. are also very famous.

In short, Shangri-La Hotel Group has always been famous for its food, and room service is second.

Therefore, if you can stay in Shangri-La but don't experience the delicious food here, then your trip is in vain.

By the way, at this moment, Cao Zhiqiang is the only one living in the hotel. As for the others, they have their own places to go.

For example, Zhu Lin is currently living secretly in the house Lou Xiao'e found for her, quietly having a baby.

Xu Qingdong and Xu Chun had returned to the mainland as early as yesterday.

The reason why they were allowed to leave in advance was because Cao Zhiqiang didn't want them to know about Zhu Lin's pregnancy, so he just made an excuse.

For example, for Xu Qingdong, Cao Zhiqiang said that the film studio was full of waste and needed someone to take charge of the overall situation, so that Xu Qingdong should go back early.

As for Xu Chun, Cao Zhiqiang was much simpler. He only said that the other party came to contact him, but he could only contact him alone and hoped that Xu Chun would leave first.

With these two excuses, the two of them went back obediently.

Xu Chun didn't care, but for Xu Qingdong, he was actually satisfied.

Because Xu Qingdong had already gone to see a concert by Teresa Teng and was satisfied.

If he continues to stay, he will continue to live in a luxury hotel. The daily expenses will make Xu Qingdong feel distressed.

Therefore, Xu Qingdong felt a lot more relieved to be able to go back early.

Although it was Cao Zhiqiang who spent the money, Xu Qingdong was still very worried because he spent too much.

After all, he still maintains that simple and frugal mentality. After all, he is not a greedy person, and naturally he has no intention of taking advantage.

It was precisely because Xu Qingdong and Xu Chun left that Cao Zhiqiang could boldly go to look at the house with Zhu Lin.

Later, after Zhu Lin moved into a house near the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, only Cao Zhiqiang continued to live in the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel.

Cao Zhiqiang has thought about it. Today he will experience Shang Palace, which is Chinese food, and then try Italian food in the evening, followed by Japanese food, French food, etc.

Anyway, if there are no accidents, I can stay here for two days. If I have three meals a day, it is enough to eat all the restaurants mentioned here.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang, who was in a happy mood, came to the elevator entrance and waited quietly for the elevator.

When the elevator opened, I found that there was already someone inside. It was a young woman who was dressed very fashionably and wore large sunglasses that covered most of her face.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't care about this. He took a casual look and turned around.

I looked at the elevator button, pressed the button to go to the restaurant, and then pressed the door closing button.

When the elevator door closed, Cao Zhiqiang stood quietly, waiting for the elevator to go to the restaurant.

However, what Cao Zhiqiang didn't notice was that the fashionable woman wearing big sunglasses frequently peeked at Cao Zhiqiang's profile.

But because she was wearing sunglasses, as long as her movements were not large, it was not clear where her eyes were looking, so Cao Zhiqiang didn't notice.

Soon, the elevator door reopened, and Cao Zhiqiang was the first to walk out of the restaurant on his own.

After seeing Cao Zhiqiang walking out, the fashionable woman wearing sunglasses hesitated for a moment, and then followed him out.

Of course Cao Zhiqiang knew that the girl in sunglasses was following him, but he didn't care.

After all, this is the place leading to the restaurant. The woman is most likely a tenant here. It is normal for her to come to the restaurant to eat.

After a while, Cao Zhiqiang came to Xiang Palace, and after a casual look, he found that there were not many people inside.

This may be because Cao Zhiqiang came at the wrong time.

After all, it is almost ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, most Hong Kong people have already had breakfast, and lunch is obviously not in time, so not many people come to the restaurant at this time.

Especially in restaurants like Shangri-La, there are even fewer people coming to dine here.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there are few people, it is quiet and quiet, which is what Cao Zhiqiang likes.

Since Cao Zhiqiang was alone and there were not many people here, Cao Zhiqiang did not choose the so-called "private VIP room", which is also the so-called private room, but chose to dine in.

Finding a round table, Cao Zhiqiang sat down on his own, then picked up the menu and started reading.

Not to mention, there are quite a lot of dishes on the menu, which makes people dazzled. Even Cao Zhiqiang, a well-informed person, suddenly fell into difficulty in choosing.

While Cao Zhiqiang was still frowning, choosing what to eat.

Suddenly, a woman next to him suddenly spoke to Cao Zhiqiang in Japanese: "Um, is this Mr. Morinaka Aizumi?"

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned. He put down the menu and looked up. It was the girl with sunglasses he met in the elevator before.

After frowning, Cao Zhiqiang was about to say no, but then he thought about it, he was not wearing sunglasses or a mask, and the other person asked questions in Japanese, maybe they were his fans or movie fans in Japan.

Since people have caught up and asked, there is a high probability that they have recognized him. It would be too unreasonable to deny it at this time.

Besides, there's no one else here, so it doesn't matter if you admit it. Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly and asked the other party in Japanese: "Yes, I am, who are you?"

The girl in sunglasses immediately laughed, and then nodded slightly: "Hello, Mr. Morinaka, my name is Theresa Deng, and I am your fan!"

"Theresa Deng?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, because this name was obviously more like an English name, but it was pronounced in Japanese, which sounded a bit strange.

But considering that there were a lot of mixed races in Japan at this time, it didn't matter.

After thinking about it, Cao Zhiqiang simply asked: "Oh, Miss Theresa, no, Miss Deng, hello, are you Japanese?"

"No, it's not." The woman in sunglasses waved her hands quickly, "I'm actually Chinese."

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned again.

A Chinese person talks to himself in Japanese, and his self-proclaimed name is still an English name with a Japanese pronunciation. It feels weird no matter what.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang simply switched to Mandarin: "Well, since you are Chinese, can you speak Chinese?"

Cao Zhiqiang made up his mind that if the other person said he couldn't speak Japanese, he would just ignore it.

Unexpectedly, when Cao Zhiqiang spoke in Chinese, the other party was slightly surprised, and then replied in authentic Taipei: "Of course, I am Chinese after all."

Soon, the other party said again: "However, Mr. Morinaka, you speak Chinese so well, it's really beyond my expectation.

Sure enough, a genius is a genius and is strong in everything!
Not only are you great at writing songs and singing, you are also great at language! "

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows, probably understanding why the other party had just spoken to him in Japanese.

It is possible that the other person thought he was Japanese, so he greeted him in Japanese.

Also, during his career in Japan, he had always kept a low profile, rarely appearing in the media and never accepting interviews.

When Warner promotes itself, it is always ambiguous and basically does not mention its nationality, so that many people think that they are actually born and raised in Japan and from Tokyo.

After all, what he speaks is the most authentic Tokyo accent, which anyone who is a Tokyoite can recognize.

Only a very small number of people know that they are Chinese.

In fact, this approach of Warner Japan cannot be said to be wrong.

Blurring one's nationality is actually more conducive to album sales.

After all, no matter how friendly China and Japan are, it is only superficial, and deep down they are still dominated by resentment and hatred.

This is not only because China hates Japan, but Japan also hates Japan, but the starting point is different.

If artists want to make money abroad, they must try to avoid sensitive things. Therefore, whether Warner, Toho, or Fuji TV, they all invariably downplay Cao Zhiqiang's Chinese identity and only focus on publicity when introducing him. Green spring in the forest.

Even if it was later reported by Wen Chun Weekly, it would only let people know that Morinaka Aizumi, Kudo Yusaku, and the actor Cao Zhiqiang of "Love in the Rain" are all the same person.

However, perhaps because Tsao has too many vests, everyone thinks that Aizumi Morinaka is his real name, and that Tsao and Yusaku Kudo are stage names in different fields.

In other words, in fact, many people in Japan believe that Morinaka Aizumi, who just joined the industry, is most likely his real name, while Kudo Yusaku is the pen name of the novelist, and Cao Zhiqiang is the stage name of the actor.

Therefore, in fact, in Japan, the name Morinaka Aizumi is more popular and is generally considered to be his real name, while other names are vests.

This girl in sunglasses speaks authentic Taipu, and is most likely from Baodao. She accepted the information from Japan and thought that her real name was Morinaka Aizumi, which was perfectly normal.

After thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled: "Actually, I am also Chinese, not Japanese, so it is normal that I can speak Chinese. After all, this is my mother tongue."

"Ah?" The woman in sunglasses opened her mouth wide and looked at Cao Zhiqiang in surprise, "You, no, you, you are actually Chinese? How is that possible?"

"How is this impossible?" Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, "I am a pure Chinese."

"Are you an overseas Chinese?" the girl in sunglasses asked cautiously, "Your accent doesn't sound like the people from our treasure island."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I am not an overseas Chinese, I am a mainlander."

"Huh? A mainlander?" The girl in sunglasses was surprised again.

"Is there any problem?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

The girl in sunglasses shook her head quickly: "No, no, no, no problem, I just feel a little surprised. After all, when mainlanders develop in Japan, they feel... so awesome!"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang asked again: "Okay, let's stop chatting. Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Well..." Theresa Deng hesitated for a moment, and then said quickly, "Yes, I am your fan, and I would like to ask you to sign it for me."

"Sign." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, "Okay, but where is the signature?"

"Oops!" Theresa Deng stuck out her tongue and scratched her head, "Sorry, I came out in a hurry and didn't bring a pen and paper, but please wait a moment, I'll be here soon."

After saying that, the girl in sunglasses hurriedly ran to find the waiter, obviously borrowing pen and paper from the other party.

Seeing the other party's irritable look, Cao Zhiqiang smiled again, then picked up the menu again and started reading.

Before Cao Zhiqiang could finish reading the menu, the woman in sunglasses came over with a piece of notebook paper and a ballpoint pen.

"Mr. Morinaka, please!" The other party politely handed over the pen and paper.

Cao Zhiqiang took the pen and paper, put the notebook paper on the table, and picked up the ballpoint pen.

After a moment of hesitation, Cao Zhiqiang turned to ask the other party: "How do you want me to sign? Should I use the stage name Morinaka Aizumi, or my real name? Also, do you want me to write it in Japanese or Chinese?"

When asked by Cao Zhiqiang, the other party was also a little confused.

Soon, the other party clapped his hands gently: "Of course, use your real name, in Chinese!"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded and directly wrote "Cao Zhiqiang" in simplified Chinese on the paper.

When the other party got the signature again, he looked at it carefully and immediately said: "Cao Zhiqiang? Simplified Chinese? Are you really a mainlander?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded again.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "By the way, besides Theresa Deng, don't you have a Chinese name? Also, you keep wearing sunglasses when talking to me, which seems a bit impolite." "

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was so happy at the moment that I forgot to pick it up."

After saying this hastily, the other party quickly took off his sunglasses, revealing a charming and happy face.

Immediately afterwards, the other party smiled at Cao Zhiqiang and took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Hello, my name is Teresa Teng, and I am your fan! I am very happy to meet you here. Please give me your advice!" (End of Chapter)
