National Tide 1980

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. It's all our fault that this happened because of our negligence."

"President, I'm really sorry for disappointing you today."

As soon as they entered the elevator, before the elevator door closed, the Xiangchuan sisters who were seeing off guests from the restaurant bowed ninety degrees and unanimously expressed their apology to Ning Weimin.

The attitude was not only sincere, but also two carefully prepared and quite generous souvenirs - a Japanese snack gift box and a honeydew melon for each person.

Speaking of which, the wedding banquet is actually not over yet.

But by this time Ning Weimin had almost finished eating and drinking.

Matsumoto Keiko had a much smaller appetite than others, so she finished her meal early.

So they, who were impatient to socialize too much, thought it would be better to leave early and leave first.

In order not to disturb too many people, except for the Taniguchi family, Ning Weimin actually only said hello to Kagawa Rinko.

But Kagawa Rinko went to inform her sister and brother-in-law in a low voice, which led to the scene that happened in the elevator now.

As for why the Xiangchuan sisters apologized to Ning Weimin?

Of course it was because of the two people who took the initiative to provoke Ning Weimin and Director Taniguchi at today's wedding banquet.

The reason why those two guys are so arrogant is that their status is indeed a bit special.

In Taisho Insurance Company, they are not just ordinary members of the investment department, but "second generation members" with some background.

The short and fat man's name is Nagase Yasuo, and he is the nephew of a specialist at Taisho Insurance.

The tall and thin man is called Hideo Ninomiya. He is the son of the head of the sales department where Yujiro Sakai works. The man who presided over the wedding today is his father.

And that's not all, because during the relationship between the Second Palace Minister and Sakai Yujiro, he fell in love with the bride's sister Kagawa Rinko at first sight.

I feel that this beautiful girl who came from a prestigious school is very suitable to be my daughter-in-law.

He also specifically asked Zuo Hai Yujiro to help negotiate the terms, hoping that this could lead to another marriage.

So it is completely conceivable why these two annoying guys are here today.

And why is he so indifferent to Yujiro Sakai?

It should be said that today's wedding, in addition to its own significance, is actually a blind date in disguise.

It was Yujiro Sakai and his boss who created the meeting opportunity for Hideo Ninomiya and Rinko Kagawa.

However, it is a pity that Ninomiya Hideo seems to be careless about this matter, so that everything is messed up by himself.

First of all, he was late with his friends today and didn't arrive until ten minutes after the wedding started. It was already very rude.

Not to mention, it was precisely because they were late and did not see Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko entering the venue together that they had a verbal conflict with them.

What's even more ridiculous is that even Ning Weimin didn't take this matter seriously.

But in the end, it turned out to be through their own mouths, and they let this scandal, which should have been hidden, be exposed to the world.

Probably they have never suffered such a big loss and feel unhappy.

Perhaps they also feel that their own face is the most important, and believe that the groom who looks at their faces must unconditionally protect their own interests, so these two petty and arrogant people will take the initiative to complain to the groom Yujiro Sakai.

However, they didn't expect to find out about Ning Weimin's origins, and found out that he was someone they shouldn't mess with at all.

Needless to say, it was not only the two little Karamies who were panicking now.

Not only Zuohai Yujiro and the Xiangchuan sisters, who invited Ning Weimin to the wedding, were deeply surprised and disturbed by this.

Even Hideo Ninomiya's biological father, Minister Ninomiya, was really angry.

Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko are both people he wants to curry favor with but is worried about not finding the chance to do so. Why don't they want to sit at the guest of honor table?

Not to mention the great fame and social influence of Keiko Matsumoto, whom Ning Weimin is going to marry, Ning Weimin himself is also a big customer of Taisho Insurance.

No one knows the business situation of his subordinate Yujiro Sakai better than the second minister.

Ning Weimin gave Zuo Hai Yujiro nearly 20 million yen in real estate earthquake and fire insurance alone. Only then did Zuo Hai Yujiro have enough performance to stand out among the salesmen.

Such a person undoubtedly has great potential in the future.

What is certain is that as their assets expand, neither Ning Weimin nor Matsumoto Keiko will have any problem spending hundreds of millions of yen to buy life insurance for themselves in the future.

But his son was directly offended by such a person.

Why did you create such a cheating bastard?

If I had known earlier, I might as well have put it on the wall!

Therefore, self-blame is inevitable, and it is also necessary to try to make things right as soon as possible. For this reason, the Minister of the Second Palace made a plan with the groom and the bride.

Immediately after the bride and groom went to toast the guests at the table where Ning Weimin was sitting, they brought those two guys with them.

Then, after the Minister of the Second Palace apologized first, he also asked these two boys to apologize in public to Ning Weimin and Director Taniguchi. This matter was considered to have a more formal result and was truly concluded.

What is this called?

This is called asking for trouble.

Although for these two boys, their apology was not sincere and was just a way to avoid responsibility.

Moreover, out of consideration for his status, Ning Weimin must have acted calmly and said it generously on the spot. It was nothing, and he would not pursue the matter.

He even said a few nice words for the two idiots, but instead advised Director Taniguchi to accept the apology and not care too much.

But these two boys were really embarrassed.

The key is that they can't blame others, because they are purely self-inflicted, and their face is thrown to the ground by others and trampled on by others.

This is really in line with the saying - if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place.

But having said that, for the groom, the bride, and Kagawa Rinko who were innocently involved, they were even more unlucky, and they suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Think about it, who did they provoke whom?

Spend money on happy events, but you have to bear joint and several liability for other people's faults.

Not only did he have to apologize to Ning Weimin and Director Taniguchi, he even had to appease the Second Palace Minister and the two perpetrators of this stupid thing.

This is called gods fighting, and the kid suffers.

Just like now, the Xiangchuan sisters bowed their heads to Ning Weimin, and Zuo Hai Yujiro also wanted to apologize.

Accompanying a few idiots, saying nice things, putting all the blame on yourself, and trying your best to make them happy.

If we want to say that the injustice has been done, people like them are the real victims. This is the tragedy of the little people.

But the good thing is that Ning Weimin is a reasonable person, at least reasonable to his own people.

Moreover, he is a citizen of the Republic who grew up under the red flag and lived in the spring breeze.

I have received socialist education since I was a child, and I believe in the equality of all living beings and the equality of men and women.

He does not have the macho feudal mentality of the Japanese, nor does he have the preference to emphasize superiority and inferiority on the surface.

Therefore, he understood the difficulties of Sister Xiangchuan very well and responded kindly.

"It's okay. This is not your fault. Please don't blame it on yourself. If you say it's your fault, it's actually my fault. Who made me not obey the arrangement and go to the guest of honor seat..."

And this undoubtedly makes him appear more considerate, more graceful, and more considerate of others.

It's just that only those who have no sense of hierarchy can accept the kindness he gives with peace of mind.

In fact, even if he said this, Kagawa Rinko still felt uneasy.

She actually shook her head and insisted, "No, it's our problem. It's our fault for poor arrangements that caused you to be disturbed and neglected like this."

As the bride, Miyoko apologized again with practical actions and bowed deeply.

"President Ning, please forgive me. I'm really sorry..."

Ning Weimin had no choice now. He communicated with Matsumoto Keiko with helpless eyes and had to change his words.

First, he responded in a serious tone, "Okay, I accept your apology. Let us forget about this matter together. This little thing is really not worth mentioning. Don't let it ruin our good mood. Today is your day." It’s such a wonderful day. Seeing your heart-warming wedding ceremony and seeing the bride and groom being so loving makes us feel happy.”

Then he said half-jokingly, "What's more, you prepared such a sumptuous meal and gave such luxurious souvenirs. Such friendship and thoughtfulness are even more touching. No matter what, we should all be happy." . Thank you for your hospitality. I always feel like I’m receiving something for nothing, which makes me a little scared.”

This is true. Just the souvenirs alone cost seven to eight thousand yen per person, which further proves that this wedding will definitely cost money.

Although the Xiangchuan sisters always spoke modestly.

"Where, where, a gift that is not worth mentioning, makes you laugh..."

"That is to say, President Ning, stop joking..."

But they finally managed a decent wedding, and all their efforts were in vain, and they smiled happily.

What's more, Matsumoto Keiko understood Ning Weimin's thoughts very well and understood that he wanted to reduce the psychological burden on the sisters, so he also came to join in the fun at this time.

"It's true. Today's wedding was so perfect. Seeing that your wedding was held with such splendor and dignity, we are all a little unsure about how to prepare for our own wedding. Now we are very worried that our wedding will make a joke. . Especially today, the bride is very, very beautiful. She is simply the most beautiful in the Three Kingdoms. So... can you tell me which makeup artist you chose? I would also like to seek the opinion of this professional. I am very worried about my wedding image now..."

She deliberately said nice things in her mouth, which completely changed the topic and turned it into a completely relaxed topic about women.

In this way, with the help of such a virtuous wife and helper, Ning Weimin successfully resolved the tense and awkward atmosphere.

When the elevator came downstairs and opened, and several people walked into the grand hotel lobby together, all the unhappiness had been truly forgotten, and everyone returned to a relaxed state where they were chatting happily.

It stands to reason that the next step is to say goodbye to each other and say goodbye.

Ning Weimin should take Qingzi to the gate to get in their car, while the Xiangchuan sisters should return to the restaurant to entertain and take care of other guests.

However, at this moment, two hotel customers who were discussing the Nikkei Index and stock quotes hurried past them.

NTT couldn't escape, and Ning Weimin couldn't help but think of today's dispute again.

Especially the way the two guests were talking so boastfully was very similar to the way Nagase and Ninomiya were talking in front of him today.

This inevitably made an idea suddenly flash through Ning Weimin's mind.

Not only did this prompt him to swallow his farewell, but he even turned around and made a rather surprising request.

"Sorry, I still have a few words that I want to say to Rinzi privately. Can you give me a few more minutes?"

In this way, Matsumoto Keiko and Miyoko stayed where they were and continued chatting.

Kagawa Rinko and Ning Weimin walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass wall not far away.

"President, do you have anything you want me to do?"

Kagawa Rinko asked curiously, she mistakenly thought it was about bookstore management.

However, unexpectedly, Ning Weimin smiled slightly awkwardly and talked about a personal and extremely personal topic.

"No, no, I just want to...have a few words with you about marriage as a friend..."

"Ah! Marriage...marriage?"

Rinzi covered her mouth in surprise and opened her eyes wide. Questioned rather uncertainly.

"President, why would you ask me such a question..."

"Don't call me president, and don't use honorifics. We are just friends now, just chatting casually. Please treat me as a pure friend and forget that I am the president. Okay?"

"Okay, friend..."

"So with all due respect, I am actually a little worried about you. Rinzi, you have been busy with work, and you have to take time to help me manage the bookstore. This life situation is indeed unbalanced, and it is normal to want to take care of your emotions. But I don't know, Have you ever thought about what your married life is like? Can you tell me what kind of ideal marriage and future happiness you want? Or is it like me? Like Qingzi? What kind of life do you want to live?”

"Sorry, this kind of question... I really haven't thought about why it happened so suddenly..."

"If you haven't thought about it, you should think about it carefully, because this is the problem I am afraid of. Listen to me, you are the most creative and business-minded person I have ever seen in Pierre Cardin, Japan. By your With your abilities, I believe you will have a great future. Although the social environment in Japan is still far from achieving equality between men and women, people with talents like you will never be buried. Why can't you become Japan's first woman? Where is the president?”

"President? Me? How is this possible?"

"Yes, how is it impossible? This is what I think. At least in China, this is the case. Europe and the United States have no problem, only Japan has problems. So this is unreasonable, and it is destined to change one day in the future. You Don’t Japanese women have the right to work now? This was also impossible in the past. In short, I believe that if you are willing, you can do it one day.”

"But...but..."

"But Japan's family concept does not allow it, and social pressure will be great, right? It depends on you. Please note that I in no way deny the Japanese traditional family model. But happiness does not mean completely to everyone Same. Just like I won't ask Qingzi to retire after marriage, I'm just afraid that she will be unhappy if she becomes a pure housewife. Have you ever thought about why men have the final say in this world? You, career gives men the power to rule the world, and career can also give women freedom. Of course you sisters came to Tokyo to find happiness, right? Miyoko should have found it, at least she thought she had found it. But the problem is, this is it. Is happiness suitable for you? Is it what you want to be a housewife dependent on a man? I don’t mean anything else, I just feel that it is a pity that your talents are not put to good use, so I suggest you think about it at the most important moment in your life. I think I'm just reminding you that you will have diversified choices in life. It's possible to have both career and love. At least I hope you don't give up your career after you get married, because a person can only have an independent personality when he has an independent income. I understand that you will not be willing to become a subordinate of a man. No one is worthy of you giving up yourself, are you right? "

At this moment, Ning Weimin's eyes were bright and sparkling with magical light.

Although he tried his best to look like a good-hearted person who is harmless to humans and animals, in fact, he was doing PUA things.

Well, he is just petty and he just holds a grudge. He just doesn't want to let pigs take advantage of good cabbage, so what?

Anyway, as long as Kagawa Rinko can recognize him from the bottom of her heart, a fool like Ninomiya will never have a chance to be with her again.

Still want beautiful women?

Eat shit if you want!

(Note: The most beautiful in the Three Kingdoms is a Japanese proverb. Translated, it means "the most beautiful bride in the Three Kingdoms", which is used to praise the bride for being very beautiful. However, these three kingdoms are not the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu that we are familiar with. They are China, India , Japan, in the past, Japan had very little knowledge of overseas countries, so at that time, Japan believed that there were only three countries in the world, and used this to refer to the whole world.)
