I hide the white roses behind me

Chapter 227 Please Come with Us

The interior lighting is neither bright nor dim, the decoration is simple and quaint, and there is an apron-wearing uncle who looks very friendly. This ordinary sake house is tucked in a corner of Osaka Castle and is not noticeable at all.

"I know you like the laurel wreath from Kyoto, so I brought it here specially from Saito's house."

Putting down the white porcelain bottle in his hand, Naoesuke Nobuyuki looked at Lin Zengxian opposite him, and felt more and more that Uesugi Natsuhiko had a good eye for people.

They had discussed this several times before, what was Lin Zengxian's confidence in choosing Putuo Shipping Company, and what exactly this guy wanted to do.

Now the answer is officially revealed because Hanjin Shipping has gone bankrupt.

The man under Lin Zengxian named Xu Shuangfeng had already gone to Seoul, waving the agreement he had previously negotiated and bought the large ship of Hanjin Shipping at a very low price.

Such a good ship, at such a low price, it is almost the same as buying it.

If you want to make a lot of money, you must have the ability to obtain information gaps that "I have and you don't" and the courage to take action. Now it seems that Lin Zengxian has everything in these two aspects.

"Thank you for thinking of my preference."

Picking up the cup and toasting the person opposite him, Lin Zengxian took a sip with peace of mind.

"You are now clearly preparing to make a lot of money. If the head of the family wants to follow you and have a sip of soup, of course he will remember your preference."

With a short grin, Naoeshinji had no intention of giving the old man from the Saito family any face, and he almost had the word "snobbish" written on his forehead.

What a joke! How could the close friend and retainer of the next head of the Uesugi family give face to the head of the Saito family in front of Lin Zengxian?

"Don't say that. We all make money together. Besides, the head of the family only wants to drink a mouthful of soup, not to share a bite of meat."

With a boat in hand, he could start the next plan. Lin Zengxian smiled, obviously in a good mood.

"He wants to eat meat... If there is meat, it will be you, Hapag-Lloyd and Mitsui OSK Lines who will eat it. Can he compete with you?"

Although Naoesuke Nobuyuki has a good relationship with Uesugi Maya, he still has some opinions about the Saito family in his words and deeds.

However, Lin Zengxian did not have the curiosity to find out the truth. Unlike the Uesugi family who did port business, the Saito family was, after all, a family rooted in the underworld, and their way of doing things was different.

"Mr. and Mrs. Xia Yan are still in Ginza and won't be back until tonight. If there's anything else that needs urgent attention, just let me know and I'll take care of it first."

After receiving the news that Lin Zengxian was about to arrive in Osaka, Naoesuke Nobuyuki immediately went to the airport to pick him up. Along the way, Lin Zengxian did not mention what he was doing in Osaka.

"There's nothing urgent. I came to Osaka this time just to meet the head of the family and take a look at the port in advance."

Picking up the buzzing phone, Lin Zengxian saw Xu Youli's message appear on the screen.

[I met Eun Hee today. She seems fine. Don’t worry.]
"I know, but was it Saito Makoto who conveyed the head of the family's invitation to you this time?"

After a brief pause, without bothering to think about what "looking at the port" meant, Naoe Nobuyuki frowned and put down the wine glass in his hand.

Through their relationship with Uesugi Maaya, the Saito family sent Saito Makoto to work as a junior assistant to the Nai family's representative in FSE, Nai Minami.

Even a fool can see that this is clearly an injustice to Saito Makoto and there must be "ulterior motives".

Both the Uesugi couple and Naoesuke himself knew this and acquiesced to it.

However, Naoesuke Nobuyuki did not expect that the head of the family would bypass Uesugi Maaya and directly invite Lin Zengxian through Saito Makoto.

"Maaya and Natsuhiko don't know about this?"

Lin Zengxian also put down the cup and raised his eyebrows. It was a question, but there was no questioning tone in his voice.

"If they knew you were coming, there's no way they would go to Ginza."

Having said that, Naoesuke's meaning has become very straightforward.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence.

Ring, ring, ring... The wind chimes at the door were shaking, and this sake house, which had only two guests, welcomed a new guest.

"So you are here."

A group of people in black suits filed in. The young woman in the lead walked to Lin Zengxian, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed.

"Yui, long time no see."

Originally thinking that the Uesugi couple knew about the Saito family's invitation, Lin Zengxian sent the flight number to Uesugi Natsuhiko without telling Saito Makoto. Now he fully understands what happened.

As a friend of the Uesugi couple, Lin Zengxian naturally couldn't stand this kind of behavior, but as the helmsman of FSE, the Saito family's somewhat hasty approach gave him more room in doing business.

"Yes, the last time I saw you was three years ago."

Although Lin Zengxian pointed to the seat with his hand, the woman named Saito Yui showed no intention of sitting down.

"Naoie-kun."

Putting on a stereotyped smile, Saito Yui signaled to Naoes Nobuyuki that they were going to take Lin Zengxian away.

Both parties knew each other, although they were not very familiar with each other.

"Please."

After taking a look at Lin Zengxian who was sitting still, Naoe Nobuyuki suppressed his temper and did not look at Saito Yui.

The impression this person has given to the outside world is that of a cold and aloof man, so it cannot be said that he is rude.

"The head of the family has arranged a banquet. Please come with us."

When talking to Naoesuke Nobuyuki, Saito Yui was very confident, but when talking to Lin Zengxian, she would not use a firm tone even when speaking in an affirmative manner.

Although this sake house is owned by the Uesugi family, this street belongs to the Saito family. As long as Lin Zengxian walks into this street, the Saito family will know.

Naoes Nobuyuki chose this place to receive Lin Zengxian, both to save face for both parties and to express dissatisfaction on behalf of Uesugi Mayura.

However, unlike Saito Makoto, Saito Yui does not have very deep feelings for Uesugi Maaya, and she will not give in to the Uesugi family in the face of the interests of her family.

"Won't you wait for your sister?"

Lin Zengxian poured himself another glass of wine, sat still, raised his glass and toasted Naoe Nobuyuki.

In front of Naoesuke Nobuyuki, this nonsense must be said as a statement.

"I'm sure Sister Maya will understand."

Saito Yui remained calm and stepped aside. The followers behind her also moved to both sides, leaving a path to the door.

"Xinzhi, goodbye, I'm going to go talk to the head of the family."

After drinking the last glass of wine, Lin Zengxian stood up and Saito Yui had already handed him his coat.

"Yui, if I remember correctly, our family has someone at Osaka Port, right?"

With ulterior motive, Lin Zengxian gently pushed the wine glass that was already placed on the table in the direction of Naoesuke Nobuyuki, stood up, took the coat, and left the sake house.

"Yes, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Following Lin Zengxian out of the sake house, Saito Yui stood beside the car first and opened the door for Lin Zengxian.

Lin Zengxian looked up at the sky which seemed to be about to rain, and thought of his scarf which was still with Ming Jingnan.

"Maybe, as long as there is good wine at the patriarch's party."
