Chapter 1,239: Emotional Scene

"You...what do you want me to do?"

Yao Peifang's tone suddenly became nervous, and her face turned red and white.

After all, as an extremely beautiful young girl, her growing up experience was filled with experiences of being shown love and attentiveness by the opposite sex around her, and even being emotionally besieged and molested.

However, this misunderstanding did not last long, and she realized that she was wrong.

Because first of all, she knew very well that for a senior executive of Pierre Cardin Company like Ning Weimin, life was surrounded by beauties of all kinds.

He who has "watched countless women" should have been "immune" to all kinds of beauties for a long time.

She and Ning Weimin only had a brief relationship at most.

You simply don't have that much ability to make someone fall in love with you at first sight.

Secondly, she also knew that she was now a "famous and well-known person".

Mingming and Matsumoto Keiko announced their marriage not long ago through Japan's TBS TV station.

Such a man who is about to marry "Japan's most beautiful woman" is even less likely to come here to express love to him.

As expected, Ning Weimin broke the topic immediately, and it didn't involve any relationship between men and women at all.

"It's like this. The day after tomorrow, some domestic leaders will come to Japan for inspection. The time period is about ten days. This matter is very important. I urgently need an assistant to help me entertain them during this time. Because I need to run before and after, deal with A lot of chores. This person must be smart, likable, hard-working, discerning, and sensible, and must also have a sufficient understanding of the Japanese situation. The important thing is that I can trust you. No, I immediately thought of you. After all, you, the runner-up of the 3rd Splendid Oriental Model Competition, can be considered one of our own people trained by Pierre Cardon. , I’m afraid I can’t find anyone more suitable than you, so I’m specifically asking you to help me and go to Tokyo to help me for a few days...”

"Oh I see……"

Yao Peifang breathed a sigh of relief, relieved but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and a little embarrassed.

I don’t know if it’s because I was feeling sentimental just now, or because the handsome manager Ning in front of me is looking at me too intently. .

"Of course I am willing, Manager Ning, and I thank you for your trust in me, but I...I...I..."

Yao Peifang didn't have time to think about this contradictory feeling. Of course she wanted to agree.

But now I feel more uneasy out of lack of confidence and anxious because I am afraid that I will not meet the other party's requirements.

"But I'm afraid my Japanese level is not good enough! I just came to Japan not long ago, and I'm still learning. I can only deal with basic daily conversations..." After hesitating for a few times, Yao Peifang finally said, somewhat unspeakably.

Ning Weimin picked up the study notes she placed on the desk, looked at them, and then pointed out her key point to the point.

"No, no, I was not as good as you when I first came to Japan. According to me, your Japanese level is not low anymore. You should only be poor at speaking. Your problem is that you have too few opportunities to communicate with people. There are too many environments where language is used! From this perspective, I also think you should go to Tokyo with me. In the past few days, we have to help our compatriots in China arrange shopping, dining, transportation and other matters. We need to deal with Japanese people in many places. This is the best opportunity for you to practice speaking. My requirements are really not high, and your current level should not be a problem. "

Ning Weimin's attitude was very serious when he spoke, without any intention of joking.

Yao Peifang wanted to agree immediately, but suddenly she thought of a more realistic obstacle.

"Then...well, it's just...how many days did you say just now? Ten days, right? Then...I'm afraid there are some problems with scheduling. I have time during the day most of the time, but I have to be there every night and on weekends. I'm performing in a commercial venue in Osaka. If I have to leave Osaka for Tokyo and stay for such a long time, I'm afraid my boss won't approve my leave..."

"This is not a problem. In fact, I already communicated the situation with the group leader before I came to you. I said hello in advance. Your group leader will give me this face. However, I have to ask you personally first. I just want to tell your boss."

Ning Weimin guaranteed the matter without hesitation, and at the same time gave Yao Peifang the power to refuse.

"Of course, if you don't want to go, don't force it. After all, it will indeed delay your own work and make it easy for your teammates to talk. And it is really overqualified to ask a national runner-up to be a tour guide before and after running. Yes. I know this very well, and I feel very sorry for it. If you are willing to help, it is a duty, and if you are not willing to go, it is your duty. No matter what, you must not have any psychological burden, just say what you think. . Don’t be polite to me. I still say that, no matter what, we are considered friends after having a meal at Mr. Song’s place, so being honest with each other is the minimum principle.”

He could take the initiative to explain things so thoroughly that Yao Peifang no longer had any hesitation or worries.

Although it will definitely be a bit hard to do this kind of low-priced work, and there will be some minor side effects when you return to the team in the future. Even if the team leader doesn't mind, people will inevitably make irresponsible remarks behind your back.

But it’s also a great opportunity to give a favor.

People came to ask for help in person, which shows the importance of this matter.

Although she is young, she is not an idiot who knows nothing about the modeling industry.

She had a basic idea of ​​how the champion of the first model contest was chosen.

After weighing the pros and cons, she could still afford these losses. What she valued more was the impression she could leave on Ning Weimin.

Wasn't she always looking for career opportunities?

If she wanted to go further in this industry and break through the coverage and influence of the same champion Ye Jihong, this was the best opportunity.

"I agree, but I really have no experience and I'm really afraid of doing you a disservice. Manager Ning, if I don't do well at that time, please forgive me."

Ning Weimin was naturally very happy and his attitude became more friendly.

"Don't say that, there is a first time for everything. You don't have to worry at all. Just remember that receiving these domestic leaders is like treating relatives who come to visit from your hometown. I say again, I'm here to ask you to help me. No matter what, I have only gratitude for you. Of course, I will also pay you a sum of money. I won't let you work in vain."

However, it was the last sentence that destroyed the already increasingly harmonious atmosphere.

Yao Peifang was not after money. After hearing what he said, she said with some displeasure.

"Don't underestimate me. I won't ask for your money. I said I helped you. Why do I have to pay for it?"

"Let's talk about this later."

The main purpose was achieved. Ning Weimin certainly had no intention of entangled in such a small issue.

Seeing Yao Peifang's shameless talk about profit, he just felt that the girl was quite simple. Although she was smart, she was not polluted by society.

"Haha, it's almost time for dinner. How about I treat you to dinner today?"

Looking at the watch, he naturally thought of a suitable excuse to interrupt.

"No, you are a guest from afar. I should treat you."

Yao Peifang was fooled and her attitude was quite serious.

Who said that people in Shanghai are stingy?

Even if she only had enough money to eat a bowl of noodle soup, she would give it all out and treat her when she should.

But Ning Weimin certainly would not let this happen.

Although he didn't know Yao Peifang's financial situation, he would never do such a thing as "eating soft rice" and letting the girl treat him anyway.

"I appreciate it, but I can't. I'm a man. How can I have the face to eat when a girl like you treats me? Besides, I owe you this. Even if it's just an apology for not returning your calls, I hope you can forgive my inconsiderateness."

"Okay then..."

Yao Peifang thought about it, and seeing that Ning Weimin was indeed sincere, she decided to follow his advice.

However, girls also have self-esteem.

She is not the kind of girl who feels at ease letting men spend money, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon.

So she added a few more sentences, "... But we agreed that I will treat you next time. Don't regret it. Otherwise, you may be suspected of being a male chauvinist."

But she didn't know that her persistence was very similar to a person, a person who left a deep impression in Ning Weimin's heart.

So much so that Ning Weimin was stunned when he said this.

For him, it seemed that he was in a trance, as if he was touched by the scene and returned to the past...

Half an hour later, Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang had arrived in front of a restaurant called "Yuanlu Sushi" in the Namba commercial district.

If Ning Weimin had not been very experienced, it would have been difficult to find the small storefront among the many small and narrow shops, and they might have missed it.

However, if you look carefully at this time, you can still see the bright and colorful display of large and small sushi varieties in the window.

And it must be said that Japanese restaurants are really good at food advertising.

In particular, the advertising skills of Japanese restaurants are very advanced and can be called an art.

This restaurant uses food models to render, exaggerate, and reproduce sushi in front of customers, even those who have never eaten it will

generate a sense of curiosity and arouse a strong desire to try it.

Yao Peifang has never eaten sushi since she came to Japan, mainly because she has no money.

Although this thing may be the most representative food in Japan, it has long been passed on by word of mouth among people in China.

But a meal in this restaurant is much more expensive than soup noodles.

So for her, who is reluctant to even eat a bowl of soup noodles, even if Ning Weimin apologizes again and again and says that this sushi restaurant is not a very high-end place, if she doesn't mind, she can just deal with it for a while.

She was also a little intimidated, and her legs were weak.

Although she had reached the door, she was still hesitant and couldn't help but pull Ning Weimin's sleeve and suggested to him, "Why don't we go to the ramen shop?"

However, the door of the restaurant had been opened at this time, and a voice came from the store, "Welcome! Are there two of you?"

Ning Weimin walked in with his head held high, so she had to bite the bullet and follow him into the restaurant.

The store was indeed not big, but the arrangement of tables and chairs was very special.

In the center of the room, there was a long table about 14 meters long and 1 meter wide. The three sides of the table were iron round stools nailed to the ground, and there were probably less than 20 seats.

The table and the stools were naturally painted white, and there were cleverly installed lighting equipment on the long table to satisfy the customers' eyes.

On the table, at an equal distance from the round stools, there were bottles and jars of various sizes filled with seasonings that had been placed.

The most unique thing in this store was a belt on the table that moved in circles at regular intervals.

The belt, which looked like a factory assembly line, placed small round porcelain plates of equal sizes, but inside they contained different varieties of sushi, each in a small plate.

This constantly moving belt rotates in front of a few customers.

When the plate taken away by the customer is transferred to the curtain made of colorful beads, which should be the back kitchen, the people inside will immediately replenish the empty plate chosen by the customer.

In the eyes of Yao Peifang, who has never even tasted sushi, such a scene is definitely original and unconventional.

In fact, the store owner probably thinks so too.

As soon as the two people entered the store, an Obasan who was responsible for receiving customers came over with a smile, bowed slightly and said to the two people, "Two guests, welcome to our store. Excuse me, is this your first time here? ? If so, the way of picking up food in our store is a bit special, I’m afraid I need to introduce it to you first..."

Yao Peifang probably understood these few Japanese sentences. Thinking about what Ning Weimin said today, and looking for an opportunity to practice speaking, he took the initiative to ask the store to introduce them.

Unexpectedly, the store owner heard her non-standard Japanese speech and realized that she was a foreigner with unfamiliar Japanese, and immediately seemed hesitant.

He seemed quite troubled, worried that he would not be able to communicate smoothly and explain clearly.

However, just when Yao Peifang was blushing and his confidence was hit.

Ning Weimin spoke up and clearly told the store in Japanese that no introduction was needed, saying that he knew the rules.

Then he took Yao Peifang to sit down in a quiet place and told her casually in Chinese, "Please look at each plate on the conveyor belt. They have different colors or patterns. Through this, the store can calculate who you are." The bill will be charged accordingly. So we can eat whatever we want. This is equivalent to a buffet. As for the speed of the conveyor belt, it is about eight centimeters per second. It’s a speed that everyone agrees with, and just enough time for customers to look at and think about which dish to choose. Too slow will make people anxious.”

Although this is his first time here, he is from the information age after all. How could he have never eaten conveyor belt sushi before?

Of course the doorway here is very clear.

Even after sitting down, he was still patiently teaching Yao Peifang how to adjust the soy sauce and how to dip it in soy sauce, and continued to complain that the sashimi quality of this kind of sushi was not in line with the high standards of professional sushi restaurants and could only be regarded as something to fill the stomach.

This couldn't help but make Yao Peifang secretly complain - he didn't expect that Manager Ning, who looked so handsome, was actually a person accustomed to spending public funds. I am so familiar with Japanese sushi restaurants! Hey, I learned so bad at such a young age, and I don’t know how to live in luxury and waste every day in Japan. If everyone is like him, how can our country get better?

However, as everyone knows, the store owner is actually more embarrassed than she is.

That Obasan couldn't even figure it out. Everyone would be surprised and amazed by their home-made conveyor belt sushi.

But this foreigner was obviously here for the first time, but he was very familiar with the place and acted like a regular customer.

He even knew that there was a hot water faucet installed in front of each turntable, as well as tea cups and tea leaves. It was not like the first time customers always yelling for the store to make tea, and they made it themselves.

In short, the more she looked, the more curious she became. She couldn't help but run to the kitchen to report the news to the real boss, Yoshiaki Shiraishi.

"Look, here are two strange foreign customers. It's their first time, but they seem to be familiar with our store. I said, boss, did you really come up with this idea by yourself? Isn’t it possible that other countries already have such stores? If so, I think your plan to sell the franchise to others will come to nothing.”

The boss, who was sweating profusely and busy at work, immediately stopped everything and responded dissatisfiedly.

"It's impossible. This store is completely our own creation. I haven't opened a store outside Osaka. How can there be something similar? Which customer? I want to see..."

Unexpectedly, just by looking at it, he was originally angry, but instead received a headshot from his wife.

For no other reason than because everyone has a love for beauty, when he saw our model runner-up, he couldn't help but say, "She's so beautiful! Is she a celebrity?"
