I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Hard-spoken but soft-hearted refers to people like Cao Jinse. Although he scolded Boss Jiang, he still insisted on assigning "guides" to them.

Jiang Chen definitely doesn't think this is "surveillance."

Life is much harder if you always speculate on others with malicious intent.

The Japanese Imperial Palace, or the "Imperial Palace" as the Japanese call it, is located in the bustling city center, surrounded by a moat and rich shade of trees.

Although it is the residence of the emperor, it is not as majestic as imagined. Except for the internal core area, the Imperial Palace Gardens, East Imperial Garden, Kitanomaru Park and other places are open to the public and can be visited at any time.

If it was just him and his Taoist sister, Jiang Chen would have to give up this "Japanese Holy Land". After all, taking this angry young man to visit the spiritual leader's lair is a bit unsafe, but since there is a "guide" who is proficient in Japanese culture, Naturally, some worries are eliminated.

The guide assigned by Mr. Cao was none other than Yan Guangyi, who rescued the two of them from the police car surrounded by them last night.

His image was extraordinary at first glance, and as expected, he was a senior cadre of the Jiuding Group in charge of Dongying District affairs. Mr. Cao had temporarily transferred such cadres, and he was indeed a good friend.

"I caused trouble for Mr. Yan last night."

Jiang Chen thanked him again without any pretense based on his relationship with Mr. Cao.

Needless to say, the excitement of the palace goes without saying.

There are a lot of runners on the perimeter alone.

I heard there are rules for running outside the palace.

You have to run clockwise, not counterclockwise.

Although the monarchy has begun to die out around the world, and the remaining royal families are in name only, for ordinary people in a country, the status of the royal family is still high.

"It's just a misunderstanding. The gangsters who beat up the police have been caught. They are a few drunk young men. The Tokyo Police Department asked me to convey their apology on my behalf. You two were frightened."

Jiang Chen smiled.

It seems that certain situations are universal.

Looking at the Japanese Imperial Palace that was gradually shrinking, Jiang Chen chatted: "Mr. Yan, have you ever seen the Emperor of Japan?"

"Not yet. The Emperor of Japan is now a formal symbol and is not responsible for specific affairs, so we don't need to deal with the royal family."

Yan Guangyi's answer is simple and easy to understand.

At the entrance of the palace, there is an endless stream of tourists taking photos and checking in.

When entering the door, Jiang Chen deliberately looked around.

Fortunately.

I didn’t see the sign saying “Chinese people are not allowed to enter”.

"It is said that Japanese people are good business partners. Mr. Yan often deals with them. How does it feel?"

Yan Guangyi smiled. The so-called charm of a middle-aged man is very obvious in him. Even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are quite attractive. I am afraid that everyone from an eighteen-year-old girl to a thirty-eight-year-old young woman will be fascinated by it.

"How are the Japanese people? Mr. Jiang also realized it last night. How does Mr. Jiang feel?"

Jiang Chen, who had a taste of "disgrace" when he first arrived, smiled and sighed, "A little disappointed."

After the guards checked the passes, the three entered the palace.

"Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be disappointed so early. The upper class in Japan are easy to get along with. It's just that the people at the bottom of Japan have been in a repressive environment for a long time, which leads to more extreme thoughts and mentality."

"Depressed? The nightlife in Tokyo is so lively. Last night I saw that those Japanese people really know how to enjoy life."

Last night in Famous Edo, so many white-collar workers went to drink after get off work at night. If it were China, except on rest days, most of the migrant workers would not have this leisure time. They would be so tired after work early that they would run home like dogs to wash and sleep. .

"Mr. Jiang only saw white-collar workers who went drinking after get off work. Did he see workers in their fifties who were still moving goods at the construction site, logistics couriers in their sixties, and taxi drivers in their seventies?"

Jiang Chen was surprised.

He really hasn't had the chance to see these yet.

“Aren’t the welfare benefits in developed countries very good?”

"No matter how good the welfare is, it cannot afford social pension security for the severely aging population. The Japanese government has long advocated lifelong employment and plans to raise the retirement age to 70 years old."

How old are you in China?

Because he is full of energy, Jiang Chen has not paid attention to this aspect for the time being, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as Japan.

Retired at seventy.

In the past, this age was already rare.

"Japanese people are really dedicated."

Boss Jiang sighed.

"A society that never retires is like a road with no end in sight, so the entire Japanese society is generally relatively depressed, so the suicide rate remains high."

The suicide rate in Japan is a familiar topic.

It's reflected in many horror movies.

For example, the well-known Suicide Forest is at the foot of Mount Fuji. Because it was too unlucky, Jiang Chen did not take his Taoist sister, who was influenced by Jin Zhuxuan and gradually prefers horror movies, to go sightseeing yesterday.

After all, Taoist sister is a Taoist, not a Buddhist, and is not good at saving the dead.

"Is the suicide situation in Japan really serious?"

"No. 1 in the world, worthy of the name."

Yan Guangyi replied, "This is also an important reason why their horror film production is so excellent."

"It seems I still can't think about it. Is it really so difficult to accept that labor is the most honorable, working for life, and never retiring? Is there anything more precious than life?"

Take a look.

What a disgusting capitalist face.

"What is unthinkable is only a very small number. If it weren't for Japan, there wouldn't be only 20,000 to 30,000 people who choose to commit suicide every year."

Fortunately, there was no one around. Otherwise, if they heard their conversation, it wouldn't be a riot, and they would have to be beaten. I'm afraid they would have to call the police to protect their own safety.

"The Japanese government should strengthen mental health education."

In the palace, Boss Jiang gave directions.

"It has nothing to do with education. It's because the entire social system is too tight and there is no breathing room." Yan Guangyi said: "Once the cat that used the Internet at home was broken. I called the Tokyo network operator and it took less than two hours. A new one was sent. When I was working in the Netherlands, the wireless network was out of order for nearly two months, and no one was able to fix it even after calling several times."

Jiang Chen smiled.

The laxity of Westerners is well known.

"Waseda University in Japan and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands are both first-class universities in their respective countries. However, in terms of the speed of replying to emails, Waseda will definitely reply within 24 hours on working days, and the University of Amsterdam will reply to emails in an average of 1 to 2 weeks. As for me, From personal experience, in terms of the efficiency of various services, Japan almost surpasses the Netherlands. Sometimes, an overly efficient society is actually not a good thing, because people are not machines, and machines will not get tired, but people will."

Yan Guangyi said, neither taking it lightly nor taking it seriously: "Behind Japan's high efficiency are various complicated rules and an extremely repressive social environment. The Dutch are laid-back, casual, and even casual, while the Japanese are very sensitive and meticulous. , sometimes even almost rigidly adhering to rules, the concept of superiors and subordinates is deeply rooted in the bones, and most people have a serious herd mentality. Physical hardship is secondary, and the ubiquitous invisible rules and regulations are really suffocating.

In the Netherlands, students can call familiar professors by their first names and occasionally joke with each other. In Japan, this situation is like a fantasy. "

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but think of the movie he accidentally pressed last night. Even if I took a quick glance and turned off the TV, I could still see that it was about teachers.

Japanese people don’t seem to respect teachers very much.

of course.

Jiang Chen did not provide evidence to refute this kind of thing. It was not that he cared about his own image, but he just didn't want to implicate Cao Jinse.

"Japanese people are really good at doing business and very good at thinking. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they can do many things extremely thoughtfully. The disadvantage is that they often overthink and make fuss out of molehills, which increases their psychological burden. Japanese people work overtime. It’s normal for trams to be out of service, but in the Netherlands, when it’s time to get off work, the whole company is like a track and field competition.”

Jiang Chen quite agreed with this point.

For example, the chaebol lady who always called him Jiang Chenjun, didn't she think too much and scare herself, so she returned home in a hurry?

Jiang Chen smiled, "This should be our regional characteristic. Japan is not the only one advocating hard work and struggle."

There is a significant difference between East and West.

Westerners pursue pleasure.

The East is different.

As Boss Jiang said just now, the East respects labor as the most glorious thing.

However, this concept seems to be slowly changing now.

"Even if the mainstream orientation is the same, there are still differences. Japanese people care more about social image and the evaluation of others, so even if they don't want to work hard, they will not lie down, but make a gesture of working hard."

"I once inspected a company in Japan. Some employees had completed their duties, but then rearranged and arranged things that had been neatly arranged. This is what I saw with my own eyes. Everyone seemed busy, but in fact It's just a waste of time. No matter how much they hate their jobs, they won't show it, but will always squeeze out a smile. Most of the time, Japanese people endure the fierce pull between reality and their hearts. Life here is very convenient and the service is It’s thoughtful, the transportation is developed, and the infrastructure is complete. But one thing is that I can’t feel happiness.”

Both looked around.

wrong.

It should be three people.

The same goes for Taoist sister.

Not only foreigners come to visit the palace, but also locals.

After Yan Guangyi's narration, the sunny smiles of those Japanese people couldn't help but look a little weird.

"In fact, the people at the bottom of the world are almost the same, with fake smiles on their faces and words that they don't mean. But people in some places are more open-minded and know how to comfort themselves, while Japanese people lack this kind of self-resolution and The ability to be optimistic. So under the pressure of a high-load society, you either gradually become numb, or you choose a sunny morning to pick a stronger tree, or you jump to the railroad tracks."

The entrepreneurial spirit of a company really starts from top to bottom.

Jiuding Group is not an ordinary private company.

So this Jiuding executive is really "unobtrusive".

But think about it.

Cao Jinse is not like this too.

freedom of speech.

There are problems, not terrible.

What you are afraid of is not daring to face it, and evading or hiding it is no different from self-deception.

of course.

Just click here. This kind of topic is not suitable for in-depth discussion, especially in a place like the Japanese Imperial Palace.

Walking in the pleasant "Imperial Garden", Jiang Chen changed the topic and said with emotion: "I remember watching Crayon Shin-chan when I was a child. The life shown in it shocked me a lot. Xiaoxin's family often went skiing and played golf. , eat a steak dinner, his mother Mei Ya has a cabinet of dresses and jewelry, and even the pet dog Xiaobai can be fed Kobe beef once a week. At that time, my family didn’t dare to add more oil when cooking. I ate radishes and tomatoes as fruits. I wanted to wear New clothes will have to wait until the New Year.”

Yan Guangyi smiled, "When I was a child, I was even worse off than Mr. Jiang. All my clothes were patchwork and high-end."

The two men, who seemed to have had the same experience, laughed.

Time passes.

Thinking about how many years ago I squatted in front of a small TV watching Japanese animation, and now I am standing in the Japanese imperial palace chatting and laughing, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

of course.

It is too early to talk about catching up.

"Is Yan always based in Japan?"

"Well, I guess I'll stay here for almost half of the year."

"No wonder Mr. Yan has such a deep understanding of Japan."

"Mr. Jiang's words are serious, because this is Mr. Jiang's first time here. If Mr. Jiang stays here longer, Mr. Jiang can intuitively feel what I just said."

"So reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." Jiang Chen sighed.

"correct."

Yan Guangyi smiled and nodded.

Neither of them were taciturn people. They talked freely all the way, talking and laughing, but they were limited to the customs of Japan. They had a tacit understanding and did not inquire about other aspects.

"I heard from Mr. Cao that Mr. Jiang came to Japan to see a friend? Where is Mr. Jiang's friend from? I can send someone to contact him."

"There is no need to bother Mr. Yan with this little matter."

Jiang Chen thanked Fang for his kindness.

The Japanese Imperial Palace is indeed not big. After strolling around the garden, the three of them planned to leave.

"Over there is..."

Jiang Chen accidentally noticed a closed courtyard door.

"That's the inner garden of the palace. It's not open to the public. If Mr. Jiang wants to go in and have a look, I'll make an appointment first next time."

Jiang Chen nodded, being reasonable and reasonable, and did not force himself to go in to see the whole situation. Just when they were about to leave from another direction, the courtyard door leading to the core inner garden was actually opened from the inside.

Then, an urban beauty stepped out that made people's eyes brighten and even make their hearts skip a beat.

Gray trousers, stilettos, a white shirt, her hair simply tied up, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her pretty face. But with such a dignified and intellectual dress on her body, she made a statement. A surging color of temptation.

Jiang Chen almost remembered the teacher-themed movie he had briefly glimpsed last night.

Not just movies.

Looking at that charming face, and even holding a few books in her hands, Jiang Chen's pupils dilated slightly, and then contracted.

The holy Duanmu Liuli seemed to have noticed the woman walking out of the palace, and frowned slightly.

Are all encounters in the world just reunions after a long separation? (End of chapter)
