National Tide 1980

If you care about anything, it will lead to chaos.

Especially when people are lazy, they are often willing to think more about how to act when dealing with outsiders.

But when it comes to close relatives, they are unwilling to beat around the bush, think carefully, and often express their temperament freely and straightforwardly.

This leads to the common phenomenon of "far fragrance and near smell".

Many people are amiable in the eyes of outsiders, but have many conflicts when getting along with their relatives.

The same is true for Matsumoto Keiko and her father.

The father and daughter have almost the same stubborn temperament.

Let them be the people with the most similar personalities and the closest blood relationship in the world.

But they are also the most prone to verbal misunderstandings and conflicts in the world.

So much so that they clearly think about each other, but in the end their efforts and efforts are never understood and understood by the other party, and it is difficult to achieve ideal results.

Of course, the most difficult thing is actually Keiko Matsumoto’s mother.

As a traditional Japanese woman, she is completely guided by her husband. In most matters, she almost always obeys her husband's words.

But there is one exception in her case, that is, she loves her only daughter.

As the saying goes, women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.

When it comes to issues related to her daughter, she becomes a hen who dares to duel with a goshawk, even her husband is no exception.

So she was always in a dilemma, unable to please both ends.

Either she was scolded by her husband, or her daughter complained about her weakness.

No matter how hard we try to eliminate the gap between her husband and daughter and make the family happy and peaceful, the final result is always unsatisfactory.

But this time, with the idea given by Ning Weimin, things seemed to be different.

Through the information provided by her mother, Keiko Matsumoto directly asked her financial representative Mitsuru Watanabe to contact the creditors who were pressing for debt.

The terms were negotiated very smoothly.

You know, as long as these people have money to collect and can avoid the loss of principal, they are even willing to give a discount on the interest.

I was overjoyed that Matsumoto Keiko paid off the debt on his behalf.

Don't say that you don't want to cooperate and hide it from the debtor for the time being.

Some people were even willing to cooperate in the acting and took the initiative to call Matsumoto Keiko's father.

It probably meant that he believed in Han Yingming's ability, so he helped him apply for a two-year debt extension, which was a kind words of relief.

Therefore, once this matter was dealt with, it was rare to have a satisfactory result.

Matsumoto Keiko's family of three, no matter who they were, breathed a sigh of relief.

The father who was kept in the dark was naturally happy.

He is grateful that there is always a path, and he has a positive attitude towards the future of the company.

The mother who knew the inside story regained her peace of mind.

When she felt comfortable that life had returned to peace and tranquility, she was even more relieved that her daughter was smart.

I feel like I have someone else to rely on besides my husband.

Even Keiko Matsumoto was happy that she had fulfilled her filial duty and successfully avoided another dispute with her father.

Naturally, she would be grateful to Ning Weimin for this and have a good impression of him even more.

However, even such a good thing could not keep Matsumoto Keiko in a good mood.

Because first, as the end of the year approaches, the rehearsals for the Red and White Song Concert have entered an important stage, and there are also more and more things that require socializing.

She couldn't forget the wonderful feeling of their fingers connecting, and she desperately longed to meet Ning Weimin again as soon as possible, but she really couldn't schedule it.

How could she be happy with such loneliness and helplessness when she couldn't get what she asked for?

Second, the more emotionally moved Matsumoto Keiko became, the more concerned she was about Ning Weimin's living situation.

Ning Weimin accepted the watch from her, which was a good start.

The joy she gained prompted her to hope to help Ning Weimin improve his life in more ways.

The first one to bear the brunt is work issues.

Matsumoto Keiko knows that Japan has many policy restrictions on foreigners working.

In her understanding, Ning Weimin's job in a bookstore and a real estate agency was completely forced by life.

Under such a heavy burden of life, the time and place for two people to interact will be severely restricted.

So she was worried because she would bring a lot of trouble to Ning Weimin.

So she thought about it, and still wanted to help Ning Weimin find a well-paying job.

Even if it might hurt his face and make him angry, he couldn't care less.

Let's get things done first, then at best act coquettishly and beg for forgiveness afterwards.

Who makes her a little older? She is willing to coax him...

Besides, this method was taught to him by him.

He wouldn't contradict himself and think that such an approach was wrong, right?

The third is that career troubles are coming again.

Sure enough, Michiko Harada got it right, and Kinji Fukasaku gave Ayumi Ishida the role of the wife in "The Man on Fire".

Not to mention, in order for Matsumoto Keiko to play another heroine, Ye Zi.

Fukasaku Kinji himself was rejected, and after his efforts to no avail, he invited the current head of Shochiku Pictures, Junichi Omoto, to plead with Matsumoto Keiko to agree to participate in the film and offered him a salary of 50 million yen.

Junichi Omoto took over the position of the old president Shiro Kido in 1977.

It was in the film "The Incident" that she strongly supported that year that Keiko Matsumoto changed the way the young beauty acted, and she became famous ever since.

It can almost be said that it was this president who single-handedly promoted Matsumoto Keiko to the status of Shochiku’s “first sister” today.

So his request was almost equivalent to the male lead's salary.

Keiko Matsumoto couldn't refuse outright, she could only agree to consider it, otherwise she would be accused of being ungrateful.

But the problem is that the content of this film reflects the chaotic life of a middle-aged scoundrel writer having an extramarital affair.

The role of Ye Zi has a large number of passionate nudity scenes, which far exceeds all the films Keiko Matsumoto has shot in the past.

But now she has a vague sense of belonging in her heart, and she can't help but think about the problem from Ning Weimin's perspective.

It is inevitable to worry about Ning Weimin's reaction to this matter.

She didn't know whether she should talk to Ning Weimin about this?

Are you worried about Ning Weimin's reaction when he learns about this?

So she missed Ning Weimin, but she couldn't bear to see him, and she was a little afraid of meeting him.

Look, how embarrassing and distressing this is...

As for Ning Weimin, the image of Keiko Matsumoto that remained in his heart became clearer and unforgettable after they said goodbye to each other on the stage.

Even the smoothness of Matsumoto Keiko's fingernails and the fragrance left on her fingertips brought him endless aftertaste and reverie.

Especially when I come home late sometimes, I see men and women laughing and hugging each other on the street.

He always thought of Matsumoto Keiko inexplicably.

Therefore, if anyone says that Ning Weimin doesn't want to take the initiative to call Matsumoto Keiko and wants to pretend to be calm, that's nonsense.

But the problem is, important things come one after another in December, and his schedule is actually even tighter than Keiko Matsumoto's.

The first is the preparation work to promote trolley suitcases to participate in exhibitions.

Even though the exhibition is about to be held in mid-December, Ning Weimin is the only one who can handle this in Tokyo.

The exhibits must be collected by him in person at the customs.

He had to run and get all the materials and print advertisements distributed by himself.

In addition, he had to go through the exhibition procedures in person at the exhibition venue and the Tokyo Distribution Center No. 1 Exhibition Hall.

He has to pay for electricity bills, entrance fees, insurance premiums, deposits, exhibition certificates, safety and fire-fighting liability certificates all by himself.

Think about it, under normal circumstances, this is the job responsibility of three or four people from the exhibitor company and the construction company.

Now that he has taken care of everything by himself, how can he not be so busy that he is on his back?

It must be said that Ning Weimin just wanted to make a small fuss on the road this time and did not make the noise bigger.

What if instead of renting a three-by-four ready-made aluminum booth, he could find an exhibition construction company to come up with special design drawings and then do the woodwork, beauty, and electrical work.

He would have to lie down tiredly, and he would definitely be too busy.

Secondly, Ning Weimin also had to find time to supervise the decoration of Huiwentang Bookstore and Tangong Restaurant.

Although Japanese workers are led by their bosses, the progress and workload are carried out strictly according to the plan.

There is absolutely no such thing as cheating or cheating.

But from time to time he has to go and take a look.

After all, the decoration of the restaurant is too important. If there is any problem that affects the actual use, the opening will be delayed.

And only his frequent presence at the construction site proves the emphasis on construction quality.

Otherwise, it will cause misunderstandings to the production company that it doesn’t really matter.

It is conceivable that even the most serious people will reduce their sense of responsibility.

In addition, even if you are so busy, there are additional distractions.

This is mainly due to the sequelae of Ning Weimin's kindness in helping Miyoko Kagawa some time ago.

Maybe it's because a little fresh guy like him who has both temperament, good looks, and more knowledge is just too outstanding.

Even though he is a foreigner, he actually has great potential in selling second-hand houses.

All in all, he took the time to help Kagawa Miyoko receive six clients, except for Matsuzaka Keiko's business with a bad old man who failed to do so.

The other four customers actually made it to the final deal.

Those rich wives or mistresses of some big shots seemed to have no resistance to Ning Weimin. Whether they wanted to buy or sell, they were filled with joy when they were deceived by him.

So much so that Miyoko Kagawa and Yujiro Sakai took the initiative to send Ning Weimin a total of 1 million yen as a reward, and formally expressed the hope that everyone would continue to cooperate and continue like this.

In this regard, Ning Weimin had no choice but to express his gratitude.

Not only was the money confiscated in the end, but two people were also treated to a meal.

But precisely because of his unswerving explanation, he really didn’t have time to do a side job.

Instead, the unmarried couple who tried their best to persuade him to change his mind were quite disappointed.

Finally, and more importantly, on December 8, Zou Guodong also flew over from the capital.

As the initiator of this incident and the only contact person in Tokyo, Ning Weimin had to pick him up at the airport.

In addition, a series of arrangements for Zou Guodong's work and life in Japan must be made to facilitate the final cooperation.

It is conceivable that he has reached the point where he is unable to do anything else.

Where do you have time to contact and meet Matsumoto Keiko?

To put it bluntly, during Zou Guodong's stay in Japan, not only was he busy with other things during the day, but he also had no time to think about the great beauty at night.

But then again, who can blame this?

Didn't he just eat the food from the bowl and look at the food in the pot, hugging and pulling, and caused so many troubles for himself?

So he didn't complain, he could just eat his own shit, he deserved it.

What's more, to be honest, Zou Guodong is not willing to make this trip.

Although it is a good thing to go abroad, you can see the colorful world outside.

But Zou Guodong, the foreigner on this trip, also knew that he was just a decoration, and Ning Weimin had all the strings to control the puppet.

For someone as arrogant as him, it would be better to stay in the capital and concentrate on being the powerful vice president and take care of the things he should do.

What's more, Ning Weimin is cruel and thick-skinned.

This kid called Zou Guodong specifically and asked him not to bring his luggage.

He said that everything would be purchased for him in Tokyo and that he would only need to bring over what he needed.

As a result, the things this guy sent over and needed Zou Guodong's help to take out were three big boxes full.

It seems that the shipping fee alone is expected to cost more than a thousand yuan.

He was simply used as a "force", an international mover.

If it weren't for the box used to transport these things, it would be a sample trolley suitcase trial-produced by China.

Moreover, he still wanted to see Ning Weimin with his own eyes and get a few truths about the future of the Japanese yen from his mouth.

Zou Guodong was too lazy to help this boy.

All in all, it is precisely because of the above objective circumstances.

When Zou Guodong and Ning Weimin met again in a foreign land, they actually didn't feel much like a successful meeting.

It's a little bit teary-eyed when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, but that's because they were angry and embarrassed when they met.

Don't forget, at Ning Weimin's request, Zou Guodong brought three big boxes with too many things.

After leaving the customs, he couldn't move since he didn't speak Japanese. He could only stay put and wait for Ning Weimin with his luggage.

He was even fined 10,000 yen because he habitually took out a cigarette and smoked it.

But as for Ning Weimin, he was so busy that he forgot about time and forgot about Zou Guodong's visit today.

I'm over forty minutes late.

In addition, he came from the construction site and didn't even notice that he was covered in dust.

And because he was anxious and afraid that Zou Guodong would be angry, he ran so hard that sweat dripped from his neck and he was panting like an ox.

So, at Tokyo Narita International Airport, under the gaze of many Japanese, European and American people.

These two Chinese executives of Pilkington Company met like international migrant workers.

There were no handshakes, no hugs, and the meeting etiquette was very simple.

Because except for Ning Weimin who nodded and bowed with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Only Zou Guodong, whose face was full of frost, came out of his mouth with a simple word.

"Hold!"
