National Tide 1980

At eight o'clock in the morning on April 11, 1987, a domestic inspection team arrived in Tokyo today.

Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang were sitting in a 21-year-old Nissan Bilian transferred from Yamato Tourism, speeding on the highway leading to Narita Airport.

It’s relatively late this year for Tokyo to welcome cherry blossoms. Even at this time, the cherry blossoms are still in full bloom outside the car and the scenery is like flowers.

But despite this, Ning Weimin had no intention of appreciating it. Instead, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Not for anything else, but because the task of receiving the inspection team this time is far from being as easy and simple as it sounds.

Ning Weimin knew very well that his payment of extra bonuses to the Chinese employees of Ginza Tan Palace was an act of defiance, and the paper could not contain the anger.

Even if he ordered it to be sealed, not everyone would do it, and there are family members.

Showing off is human nature, and sooner or later it will spread.

And once this matter spreads, the huge income gap between domestic and foreign countries will lead to countless envy, jealousy and criticism.

He will undoubtedly become the one who upsets the hornet's nest, and all kinds of dissatisfaction and resistance will sweep towards him.

It's okay inside Tan Palace, and Pierre Cardon doesn't have much to do with it. The most troublesome thing is probably the two state-owned entities that participated in the investment in Tan Palace.

Without even thinking about it, Ning Weimin knew what some people with a little power would think.

They absolutely can't stand the fact that their subordinates can surpass them in income with such a huge gap.

And as the initiator of this matter, he will definitely be regarded as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

I'm afraid that even the principal and Qiao Wanlin, who had been supporting him and trusting him, would not understand this and find this matter difficult.

But the problem is that Ning Weimin has no better way to deal with this matter.

He really couldn't bear to let those who followed him to work in a foreign country out of trust, while working hard and sweating, feel angry and disappointed.

If he really does this, there will be only one result: people will be dispersed, the team will be unable to lead, and the quality of the restaurant's dishes and services will plummet.

This in turn led to a decrease in customers, a collapse in reputation, and even affected the overall expansion of Tan Gong Restaurant at home and abroad.

Therefore, the only way out is to serve the people of the inspection team well this time, gain their understanding first, and then use their power to calm the matter and preserve the current victory of Tan Gong Restaurant.

Of course, if you want to achieve this goal and satisfy these people who can really determine the future of the altar palace, you have to use some brains and some tricks.

Let them see what to see this time, how to see it, and what excuses to use, so that they can fully understand Japan's complex market operating environment and understand their own difficulties.

It also includes where to play, how to play, and how to let them have fun without adding any psychological burden to them, making them feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Only in this way can the purpose of this inspection be achieved.

In short, as long as you are with me, everything will be easy.

At least Ning Weimin is confident that he can maintain stability for a few years until the economic bubble collapses. At that time, he will be able to advance and attack, retreat and defend, and there will be many options.

At that time, even if the foreign altar palace cannot continue to operate, it will not be in vain if it makes money, moves to the country, and flourishes everywhere.

But if the company is not good enough, and these people have grudges and opinions, then they will never talk about opening a branch in Japan, and it will be good if they can keep the normal operation of the Ginza Danmiya store.

Domestic progress will naturally be slowed down by insufficient funds.

Therefore, he had no choice but to act cautiously, which is why he had the idea of ​​recruiting Yao Peifang to serve as a foreign aid.

If he had seen the right person, with this girl's intelligence, agility and ability to deal with people, it would be easy to get in touch with her in about ten days and win the favor of most members of the inspection team.

After all, such a pleasing young girl can make you feel better just by looking at her, which is an absolute plus.

Moreover, Yao Peifang himself is a ready-made example, which is enough to illustrate the various difficulties and psychological imbalances of Chinese workers living in Japan with their income.

This is obviously very helpful for him to justify his actions.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Yao Peifang. Unexpectedly, what a coincidence.

The girl he had high hopes for was actually staring at him at this moment.

I don't know how long this girl has been observing him. She didn't expect that he would suddenly look back and look away in panic.

And when she turned her face away, her fair face also turned slightly red.

Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh at his forced nonchalant behavior even though he was clearly guilty.

In his eyes, Yao Peifang was indeed dressed up like an untouched little girl.

Today he was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, his beige baseball cap on his head, and orange sneakers on his feet.

They were all chosen by him.

This outfit made her, who was already very delicate and beautiful, look one or two years younger than her original age, like a college student who had not graduated from school.

However, just when Ning Weimin was proud of himself for creating the image of a young girl, a gust of wind blew from the window, lifting Yao Peifang's hair, and suddenly his heart throbbed.

On her beautiful and lively side face, he suddenly saw the shadow of a smile.

It not only reminded him of those times we spent together in the past, but also reminded him of the beautiful promises that were almost made, and the dreams that might have been born but failed to take shape.

Moreover, Yao Peifang's hair is full of fresh and clean atmosphere.

This sweet fragrance that drifts in the wind brings Ning Weimin the same feeling as when Qu Xiao was kicked out of the house by his parents on that rainy night many years ago. When he went to take Qu Xiao back to the Chongwenmen Hotel after crying so hard , the same kind of smell.

Maybe beautiful girls are all the same in some respects. He is absolutely sure that Qu Xiao also has the same scent wafting around her body.

…………

On the tarmac of Tokyo International Airport, a flight from the Republic landed smoothly.

A large number of Chinese passengers got off the plane one after another.

Judging from the upright looks on most people's faces and the way they were dressed, most of the passengers on this flight were here for inspection.

They carried their luggage and documents to the customs.

Qiao Wanlin, deputy director of the Service Bureau, walked at the front. From time to time, he reminded the group of people following him not to fall behind and not to talk to strangers.

And his immediate boss and backer, Deputy Director Jin, followed closely behind him, almost every step of the way.

Compared to the calm energy of the past, he seemed a little confused and confused.

The other entourage behind them, the men, all looked like porters, carrying trolley suitcases in their left and right hands.

There were also five or six female comrades mixed in the team, all of whom were family members of senior staff from the Service Bureau and Temple of Heaven Park. They were relatively relaxed, carrying only their carry-on bags on their shoulders.

But the nervousness of being in a foreign country cannot be concealed.

In addition to holding their own things tightly with both hands, their eyes kept looking left and right.

It seems that he is looking for direction, or to guard against thieves who may appear around him at any time.

And behind these women, there are two beautiful and fashionable young girls.

One is Director Jin's secretary Xiao Luo, and the other is Chang Shasha, the daughter of the deputy director of Tiantan. They are both very light.

At the end of the team was the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven accompanying the elderly director.

These two are highly respected, one is over sixty, the other is almost fifty, their combined age is 110 years old, they can be called the fixed stars of this team.

Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang stood side by side directly opposite the passenger exit, waiting anxiously for their appearance.

From this, we can see his mentality. Ning Weimin is anxious, but he is actually forty years old in his heart. You can't tell it from his expression.

Yao Peifang, on the other hand, was really young. She stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck, looking inside nervously.

It seemed that she was more excited than Ning Weimin, as if she was welcoming a long-lost relative, but in fact she didn't know anyone.

And just because of her tall stature and outstanding beauty, she immediately stood out from the crowd and became the most conspicuous person in the airport pick-up crowd.

But even if it is a mistake, there is an advantage to it.

When Qiao Wanlin walked out of the airport lobby with a long line of people, because he noticed Yao Peifang at first sight, he didn't put much effort into finding his old friend Ning Wei standing next to her. The people immediately waved their hands excitedly.

Ning Weimin immediately came forward with Yao Peifang.

Needless to say, when everyone meets, they must exchange a few words.

Many people are familiar with Ning Weimin, so no additional introduction is needed. Just shake hands and nod in order of position.

Especially those in the Temple of Heaven Park, they are all old partners who are very familiar with each other, and there is no need to be too polite.

Qiao Wanlin was mainly responsible for introducing to him one by one the directors and deputy directors of the service bureau whom Ning Weimin didn't know.

But in the end, because they had never seen Yao Peifang, everyone thought that she who was standing nearby smiling and saying nothing, with delicate eyebrows and fashionable clothes, was regarded as Japanese, which was a lot of fun.

The perpetrator was Qiao Wanlin, who relied on his close friendship. Before Ning Weimin could introduce Yao Peifang, he made a smart joke in front of everyone.

"Okay, you guys are equipped with female secretaries. This Japanese girl is so sassy, ​​she is really different from our Beijing girls..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yao Peifang immediately ran to him in a few steps, held his hand, and spoke to him warmly and generously.

"Leader, thank you for your compliment, but you have misunderstood. I am not Japanese. My name is actually Yao Peifang, and I am from Shanghai. I am now temporarily serving as Manager Ning's assistant. It is an honor to receive you in Tokyo."

This time, Qiao Wanlin's eyes widened in surprise. He was completely caught off guard, with a bewildered expression on his face.

As a result, there was something even more amazing. Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Yao Peifang immediately waved her hand gently and imitated the "Flowers of the Motherland" in "Xinwen Lianbo" that welcomed foreign guests.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. Warmly welcome all leaders."

This is so bad, everyone knows the words, which completely proves Yao Peifang's pedigree.

"Oh, yes, welcome, warm welcome. I didn't expect you, a little comrade, to be quite humorous. You are really one of our compatriots."

Amid everyone's laughter, Qiao Wanlin seemed to have just woken up from a nap, and he also laughed, "Look at the look in my eyes, it's true, there are no such heights in Japan. Comrade Yao, right? That's a good code. ”

After he praised Yao Peifang, he turned around and held Ning Weimin's hand, as if he suddenly became smarter.

She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You, how did you get such a beautiful girl? She can't be a model from your Pierre Cardon company, right?"

Ning Weimin admitted frankly.

"That's right, not only is she a model, but she is also the runner-up in the competition. Didn't you watch last year's competition? You have no impression of her at all?"

"Oh, I really didn't read it. How can I care about this? Hey, but... this, this, is this appropriate? You actually asked a national runner-up to do odd jobs for us! I really don't think that, so He is a delicate little person, and we are too embarrassed to instruct him.”

"Oh, it's not inappropriate. Only by letting the national runner-up serve, doesn't it make you look like a distinguished guest? Don't worry, just do whatever you want. This little girl is very nice, not pretentious at all, and not squeamish at all. The key is language. On the other hand, we are alone, so communication is easy. To be honest, our schedule is not easy and we need to travel a lot. Although Japan is developed, the food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided according to Japanese habits. I can’t speak a word of Chinese. I’m definitely too busy on my own. With her here, not only can I feel more relaxed, but it will also be a lot easier for you.”

Ning Weimin was patiently explaining to Qiao Wanlin, when the director of the Temple of Heaven came up to ask questions.

"Weimin, this little Comrade Yao said she is your temporary assistant. Will she stay with us all the time?"

"Yes, she is the one I hired to accompany us throughout the trip. The so-called temporary means that she will help me for ten days until I can send all the leaders on the return flight to their satisfaction."

"Okay, okay, this girl is nice, she looks very lively. Old guys like us live a dull life all day long, and what we lack most is this kind of vitality."

Even the director of the garden expressed satisfaction, so Qiao Wanlin naturally had no objections.

So what hasn’t been said yet is that everyone walks out of the terminal, gets in the car and sets off.

After a while, I saw Ning Weimin saying hello at the gate, and the Japanese driver from Yamato Sightseeing drove over.

It should be said that a twenty-one-seater station wagon was suitable for the inspection group of sixteen people in total.

Not only can everyone sit down, but there are also two back seats that can accommodate inconvenient bags and clothes.

But there is only one problem, that is, there seems to be not enough space to put a large trolley suitcase for each person.

However, Yao Peifang realized that this was a problem and became anxious and worried, and immediately reminded Ning Weimin.

To her surprise, she actually got such an answer.

"No problem. All large luggage will not go with the station wagon. I will communicate with the airport right now and I will charter a car to take these large luggage directly to the destination."

"Hey? Won't your luggage go with everyone? Should you send so much luggage directly to the hotel?"

"No, no, send it directly to Tan Gong Restaurant."

"What? Rice, restaurant!"

"Haha, I forgot to tell you that none of these are our personal luggage. In fact, they are things I asked everyone to bring here. They are all seasonings, kitchen utensils, etc. that Tan Gong is eager to use, as well as some handicrafts. Before departure, I asked people from Tan Palace to distribute them to everyone. Didn't you notice that these boxes are all the same, so how could they be personal luggage? I'm afraid they can't tell who brought them."

"Then... what will everyone... do in daily life? We don't even have daily necessities. What will we use then?"

"This is not easy. Let's go to the supermarket next. Toiletries, clothes and shoes, tea, snacks, instant noodles and so on. Just spend money to buy them all. Hey, by the way, don't put your If you forget it, you should also count yourself."

"Ah? You can buy them all now! How much will it cost?"

"Ah, what? You are a Shanghai girl. You can't even calculate such an account. Let me tell you, don't think it's a waste. I can at least save tens of millions of yen from these things. Do you believe it? Don’t believe it? To be honest, this is an old tradition of our Danmiya Japanese branch, otherwise it will cost at least hundreds of millions of yen.”

Yao Peifang really didn't expect that the first class she attended today was an eye-opener for her, and she learned that legal "smuggling transactions" could be done using airplanes.

However, Manager Ning actually took advantage of the leaders of the inspection team. This is... too bold, right?
