Chapter 1241 Warm Welcome

At 8 o'clock in the morning on April 11, 1987, the delegation from China arrived in Tokyo today.

Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang were sitting in a 24-seater Nissan Blue Lotus transferred from Yamato Tourism, speeding on the highway leading to Narita Airport.

This year, Tokyo welcomed the cherry blossoms later. Even at this time, the cherry blossoms outside the car were still in full bloom, and the scenery was as beautiful as flowers.

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

For no other reason, it was because the task of receiving the delegation this time was far from being as easy and simple as it seemed.

Ning Weimin knew very well that his giving extra bonuses to the Chinese employees of Ginza Dan Palace was a great act of daring to defy the world, and the truth could not be hidden.

Even if he ordered to keep it secret, not everyone would do it, and there were also family members.

It is human nature to show off, and it will be spread sooner or later.

Once this matter is spread, the huge income gap between China and abroad will attract countless jealousy, envy and criticism.

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

It's easy to say about the inside of the Altar Palace, Pierre Cardon doesn't have much to do with it, and the most troublesome thing is probably the two state-owned units that participated in the investment in the Altar Palace.

Ning Weimin knows what some people with a little power will think without even thinking about it.

They absolutely can't stand their subordinates, and the income of the grass-roots people can exceed theirs by such a huge gap.

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

I'm afraid that even the director and Qiao Wanlin who have always supported and trusted him will not understand this and feel that this matter is difficult.

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

He really can't bear to let those who follow him to work hard in a foreign country out of trust, while working hard and sweating, have to suffer anger and heartbreak.

If he really does this, there will be only one result, people's hearts will be scattered, the team can't be led, and the quality of the restaurant's dishes and services will plummet.

This will lead to a decrease in customers, a collapse of reputation, and even affect the overall situation of the expansion of the territory of the Tan Palace Restaurant at home and abroad.

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

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to use some brains and tricks to entertain these people who can really determine the future of the Tan Palace.

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

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

This is considered to achieve the purpose of this inspection.

In short, as long as you accompany them well, everything will be easy.

At least Ning Weimin is confident that he can maintain a few years of stability and wait until the economic bubble collapses steadily. At that time, he can attack or defend, and there will be many options.

By then, even if the overseas Tan Palace could not be opened, it would not be in vain if the money was made and the business was transferred to China and flourished everywhere.

But if the company failed to deal with the problem and these people had a grudge and opinions, then the matter of opening a branch in Japan would never be mentioned again, and it would be good enough to keep the normal operation of the Ginza Tan Palace.

The progress in China would naturally slow down due to insufficient funds.

Therefore, he had to be cautious and careful, and he had the idea of ​​pulling Yao Peifang in as foreign aid.

If he was not wrong about the girl, with the girl's intelligence and ability to treat people, it should be no problem to win the favor of most members of the inspection team after about ten days of contact.

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

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

This is obviously very helpful for him to prove the rationality of his behavior.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yao Peifang, and he didn't expect it to be a coincidence.

This girl who had high hopes for him was actually staring at him at this moment.

He didn't know how long this girl had been observing him. She didn't expect him to look back at her suddenly, and immediately looked away in panic.

As she turned her face away, her fair face also turned slightly red.

This performance of forcing herself to act as if nothing had happened made Ning Weimin laugh in his heart.

In his eyes, Yao Peifang was indeed dressed up by him like an innocent little girl.

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

All of them were chosen by him.

This outfit made her, who was originally very pretty, look one or two years younger than her original age, like a college student who had not yet graduated from school.

However, just when Ning Weimin was proud of creating an image of a young girl for himself, the gusts of wind blowing from the window lifted Yao Peifang's hair, and suddenly made his heart palpitate.

On her lively and beautiful profile, he suddenly saw the shadow of Qu Xiao.

It not only reminded him of the time they had spent together, but also reminded him of the beautiful promises that he had almost made, and the dreams that could have been born but never came true.

And Yao Peifang's hair was full of fresh and clean scent.

This sweet fragrance drifting in the wind gave Ning Weimin the same feeling as the one he smelled when he went to pick up Qu Xiao, who was crying and tearful, and took her back to Chongwenmen Hotel many years ago on a rainy night when Qu Xiao was kicked out of the house by her parents.

Perhaps beautiful girls are all the same in some ways, and he was absolutely sure that Qu Xiao also had the same scent.

…………

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 righteous faces and the way they were dressed, most of the passengers on this flight were here for inspection.

They came to the customs with their luggage and documents.

Qiao Wanlin, deputy director of the service bureau, walked in the front. He reminded the group behind him from time to time not to fall behind and not to talk to strangers.

His immediate superior and backer, deputy director Jin, followed closely behind him.

Compared with the calmness of the past, he seemed a little flustered and at a loss.

The other entourages behind them, the men were like porters, carrying trolley suitcases in both hands.

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

But the tension of being in a foreign country could not be concealed.

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

It seemed that they were looking for directions, or guarding against thieves who might appear around them at any time.

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

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

At the end of the team is the deputy director of the Temple of Heaven accompanying the old director who is already old.

These two are highly respected. One is over 60 years old, and the other is almost 50 years old. The total age is 110 years old. They can be called the guiding stars of this team.

Ning Weimin and Yao Peifang stood shoulder to shoulder opposite the passenger exit, anxiously waiting for them to appear.

From this point, we can see the mentality. Ning Weimin is anxious, but his mental age is actually 40 years old, which cannot be seen from his expression.

Yao Peifang is really young. She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck, looking inside nervously.

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

And her tall stature and outstanding beauty immediately made her stand out from the crowd and become the most conspicuous one in the airport reception crowd.

But even if it was wrong, there was also an advantage.

When Qiao Wanlin walked out of the airport hall with a long line of people, he noticed Yao Peifang at first sight, and it was not difficult for him to find his old friend Ning Weimin standing next to her, and he immediately waved excitedly.

Ning Weimin then took Yao Peifang to greet him.

Needless to say, when everyone met, they had to exchange a few words.

Many people were familiar with Ning Weimin, so there was no need to introduce him, just shake hands and nod in order of position.

Especially those in the Temple of Heaven Park, they were all old partners who were as familiar as they could be, and there was no need to be polite.

Qiao Wanlin was mainly responsible for introducing several directors and deputy directors of the service bureaus that Ning Weimin did not know to him one by one.

But in the end, because they had never seen Yao Peifang, everyone thought she was a Japanese who had been standing by and smiling without saying a word, with delicate eyebrows and eyes and fashionable clothes, which was quite funny.

The perpetrator was Qiao Wanlin, who relied on his close friendship. He made a joke in front of everyone without waiting for Ning Weimin to introduce Yao Peifang.

"Okay, you have a female secretary. This Japanese girl is really cool and different from our Beijing girls..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yao Peifang ran to him without asking or letting him in, shook his hand, and said to him warmly and generously.

"Leader, thank you for your compliment, but you 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 made Qiao Wanlin's eyes widen in surprise. He was caught off guard and his face was full of incredible expressions.

As a result, there was something even more amazing next. Seeing that he still seemed unconvinced, Yao Peifang immediately waved her hand and imitated the "flowers of the motherland" who welcomed foreign guests in the "News Broadcast".

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. Warmly welcome the arrival of all leaders."

This is OK, everyone knows the words, which fully proves Yao Peifang's bloodline.

"Oh, yes, it is welcome, welcome, warm welcome. I didn't expect that you, a young comrade, are quite humorous. You are really our compatriot."

Amidst the laughter of everyone, Qiao Wanlin seemed to have just woken up from a nap and laughed himself, "Look at my eyes, yes, how can a little Japanese be so tall. Comrade Yao, right? This code is right."

After praising Yao Peifang, he turned around and shook Ning Weimin's hand, as if he had become smart all of a sudden.

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, there's nothing inappropriate. Only having the national runner-up serve will make you look like VIPs. 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 the only ones on our own, 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 entire trip. The so-called temporary means that she will help me for ten days until I can get 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 greeting me 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 the large trolley suitcase that everyone has.

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."

"Huh? 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? These boxes are all the same. How could they be personal luggage? They don't know 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 girl from Shanghai. 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 we would have spent hundreds of millions of yen in vain.”

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?
