National Tide 1980

Exactly the same as the previous three shows.

Just after the catwalk show ended, another large bouquet of delicate red roses was held high by a person who blocked the backstage door and spoke Chinese with irregular pronunciation, and delivered it to Qu Xiao with a smile on his face.

"Miss, please accept it this time. This is the most beautiful and expensive flower gift in our store, and it is the most suitable for you!"

It is a pity that the foreign affairs regulations of the Republic absolutely do not allow the acceptance of flowers of unknown origin.

So of course this bouquet of flowers could not be sent out.

Moreover, the delegation’s translator, Sister Xu, was like an old hen guarding her chicks. She stepped in front of Qu Xiao and issued a warning in Japanese.

"Why is it you again? Didn't I tell you not to come? What are you doing? Leave quickly, or I will call someone."

After Sister Xu finished speaking, she stared at the boy in front of her with a baby face and a very attentive attitude rather warily.

If nothing else, they have met each other three times.

Sister Xu not only knew that the smiling man was an employee of the flower shop downstairs, but also knew that he was a Japanese-Chinese.

But what puzzled her was that the young flower shop employee didn't know how to give up after being rejected several times.

And every time I come, it's always a coincidence that I catch up with no security personnel.

The person in charge of looking after the backstage door is either going to the toilet, smoking, or buying coffee.

This situation is simply unbelievable and makes people unable to help but feel suspicious.

"No, no, please don't be offended. I am really entrusted by a guest, and I just want to present this bunch of flowers to this lady on his behalf. Please accept it, please."

The flower shop employee was still insisting on his ridiculous pronunciation of Chinese.

But he bowed extremely devoutly, yet was so polite that it made people reluctant to drive him away.

"Who asked you to send flowers? You need to explain clearly first!"

Sister Xu suppressed her anger and asked again in Japanese.

This time the boy had no choice but to ignore him.

After thinking for a while, he replied tactfully in Japanese.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I really have to keep this matter a secret. But this time, the guest who sent the flowers to the lady also gave one special instruction. He said that if the lady wants to know who he is, she can go downstairs. Let’s meet at the Italian bar on the seventh floor. He will be waiting there from now until 9:30 p.m. He is very willing to reveal the mystery to you face to face.”

Then he bowed again, "So please, no matter what, can you accept this flower first? I'm just a poor student working on a work-study program. If I don't do this well again, I will be fired by my boss!"

This may be because women are naturally prone to soft-heartedness and cannot bear to see flower shop employees being blamed for this.

Perhaps he thought that the mysterious man hiding behind was finally willing to show up, and he could find out who he was just by going downstairs, and then solve the matter completely.

Anyway, this time, after some quiet discussion, Qu Xiao finally took the flower with the encouragement and support of Sister Xu.

So the flower messenger left happily.

Judging from his happy look, it seems that not only can he keep his job, but he may also be able to receive a large reward.

And for this reason, the girls from the model team also swarmed over like bees collecting honey.

Everyone, fearing that the world would be in chaos, laughed around Qu and made fun of the bouquet of roses in her hand.

"Hey, Xiaoqu, what beautiful flowers. The Japanese are quite romantic. We don't do this in our country."

"Ouch, a mysterious suitor has appeared! But look, the flower sender might be the flower shop owner's son."

"Haha, no matter who it is, I think they really mean it. However, this seems to violate the foreign affairs disciplines we have announced, right?"

"That's right, Xiaoqu, what should our team leader do about this? Do you have an idea on how to explain it?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Who is this person? The performance fee is much higher than us. Those rules only govern us people, but they don't control celebrities like me in the model team..."

Just like that, although Qu Xiao, who was holding flowers in her hands, was surrounded by stars like the moon, she was not happy at all.

Instead, he was made red-faced by all kinds of sour and sweet words, and was too embarrassed to say a word.

That is to say, Shi Kaili knew how to fight for her.

"It's annoying, what are you chirping about! Does the team leader know what's going on? It's not like you don't know what's going on? The flower delivery guy comes over one after another to harass you. Isn't this funny?"

Of course, Sister Xu will also protect her. After all, it was Sister Xu who advocated how to handle this matter.

"Hey, hey, hey, you all have nothing to do, right? A bunch of girls are noisily gathered around here? Xiaoqu's situation is quite special. This is a temporary measure to solve the problem. Don't talk nonsense! Go and pack your things. The car will arrive soon. If anyone hasn’t packed their things, they can walk back by themselves..."

Only in this way can we disperse a group of girls who are either jealous or envious, or simply making fun of each other.

Sister Xu then specially comforted Qu Xiao.

"Xiao Qu, you go and pack your things too. There's nothing to worry about. I'll take this bouquet of flowers to the seventh floor. I want to see who he is, so shameless. After meeting, I called He gave these flowers to other Japanese girls. If he doesn’t finish the knot, next time we will just throw his flowers into the trash can..."

Qu Xiao then showed a sweet smile and handed over the flowers.

Then he learned Japanese etiquette and bowed.

"Sister, thank you for causing trouble."

"You kid, you're so quick to do as the locals do. You don't really want to marry a Japanese, do you?"

"Oh, eldest sister..."

"Haha, you are such a good kid and so thin-skinned. Okay, I won't tease you anymore...

Sister Xu smiled as she took the flowers and went to take the elevator. Everyone thought that this matter would be over.

Unfortunately, things backfired. In this case, the law of deviation and out-of-control results magically took effect again.

Sister Xu actually went for half an hour before she came back.

And the strange thing is that when she came back, she still had a bouquet in her hand, and her expression was extremely gloomy.

Qu Xiao opened his mouth to ask, but she stopped him with her eyes.

Next, I waited until I took the sixteen girls to have supper and returned to the apartment arranged by Nishiura Department Store.

Only then did Sister Xu call Qu Xiao into her room to talk alone.

"Xiao Qu, this seems to be a bit troublesome for you."

"Sister, you...you mean that bouquet of flowers? That person...who...is he...?"

"To be honest, I didn't see it either. I probably saw me going downstairs alone, but the man didn't show up and only asked his entourage to give me a business card. His entourage also said that people in our Republic are unreasonable. It's not polite, it's insulting. You must come to see him tomorrow."

Sister Xu said with a frown, then took out a business card from her purse and handed it to Qu Xiao.

The business card has a coffee background and lead and silver writing.

The texture alone is different.

But the most astonishing thing is the content above, which is printed in both Japanese and English:

Yasumitsu Tsutsumi, Supervisor of Nippon Nishiura Group \u0026 Nippon Nishiura Holdings

Sister Xu was still worried that Qu Xiao wouldn't understand, so she gave her additional explanations.

"Do you still remember the president of Nishiura Department Store? The unique middle-aged man in his fifties who we met at a hotel reception when we first arrived in Tokyo. His name is Tsutsumi Ichikiyo. Along with the Nishiura Department Store in Ikebukuro, Within a year, he owns sixteen department stores of this size throughout Japan. He is a real millionaire."

Qu Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then continued with a solemn expression.

"Sister, are you saying that... the person on the business card should be a relative of the president of XJTLU Department Store? Is he his junior?"

Sister Xu couldn't help but echo the lament.

"Yes, that's what I think. I'm sure they are related by blood, but I don't know what the relationship is? The most likely possibility is, of course, that he is the president's son."

"If this is the case, think about it. If it were any one person, we could argue with him about his ugly appearance and righteousness. But in view of the cooperative relationship with XJTLU Department Store and us, this matter That’s troublesome.”

"Because no matter whether we are responsible or not, the individual is not as important as the collective. Right? If it really affects the ministry's foreign trade plan, then all our efforts will be in vain."

"Hey, we are really unlucky to have encountered such a thing..."

Qu Xiao was so frightened that her face turned a little pale. After all, she was still a child who didn't understand the world.

"Sister, what should I do? Do you want me to... let me..."

"Don't be afraid." Sister Xu patted Qu Xiao's hand gently, "Actually, what I mean is that we no longer have the right to handle this matter on our own. It must be reported to the leader of the team."

"However, when this matter has reached this point, it is definitely inappropriate for us to accept the flowers. Someone will definitely be held accountable for violating foreign affairs disciplines."

"You, if the leader asks you then, tell me all my ideas. Sister will bear the responsibility for this matter, but I'm just afraid..."

Sister Xu took a deep breath as she spoke.

"...I'm afraid you might still feel a little wronged. I guess you might be asked to come forward and apologize to that person or something. You have to be prepared."

"Xiaoqu, please listen to me, sister, you are still young and have a bright future. No matter how unhappy you are, you have to hide it as much as possible. Don't have any resentment or resistance."

"Minister Wu likes you so much that he almost considers you his daughter. This matter shouldn't affect you after you return to China. No one will really make things difficult for you. As long as you do what the leader says."

Qu Xiao's eyes were red, but not because he was feeling aggrieved, but mainly because he was moved and worried for his eldest sister.

"Sister, what about you? What will happen to you?"

"Oh, little girl, what can I do? This is the advantage of the iron rice bowl. As long as you tolerate your anger for a while, the sea and the sky will be brighter."

"I'm sorry, it's all...all because of me. No, I have to explain this to the leader."

"Oh, silly girl. Why am I telling you this? I'm just afraid that you will make your own decisions. If you believe in eldest sister, don't be willful and do as I say..."
