National Tide 1980

When Ning Weimin just returned to the apartment, Zou Guodong was holding a cup of fragrant tea and looking out the window in the living room, admiring the night.

However, as soon as Ning Weimin opened the door and came in, Zou Guodong put down the tea, walked over quickly, and asked him and Qu Xiao what was going on.

"Okay, you kid, you are so silent and scheming. When you were in China, I saw you pretending to be a woman and not being a womanizer. I really thought you were determined to go to the Shaolin Temple. Why did you act like this when you came to Japan? Are you about to pick up a girl? Come on, tell me the truth, when did you and Xiaoqu hook up? How far have you two progressed? How come the championship of our company's model competition fell into your hands?"

"What the hell! There are no such eight things!"

Ning Weimin lowered his head to change his shoes while refuting the rumors sternly, looking extremely upright.

"I said Mr. Zou, in my heart, you have always been a serious person who doesn't like the fireworks of the world. The things that make you worry about it must be the company's development plans. Tell me, why did you become vulgar as soon as you arrived in Japan? Are you up? They are no different from Japan's Obasan. Don't you think it is damaging to your reputation and status when you ask me about such tidbits? Don't believe or spread rumors, seek truth from facts, and stay away from vulgar taste. Even How come you can’t do such a simple thing?”

It is also possible that Zou Guodong came to Tokyo for a few days and was indeed influenced by the feasting and feasting of capitalism.

It may also be because I am in the fashion industry and have been influenced by some open-minded trends in China after the reform and opening up.

Anyway, in the eyes of most of the company, Zou Guodong, who was as stern as Bao Gong, rarely showed his civilized side and spoke fashionable words due to the effect of alcohol.

"I really don't understand. Why don't you just fall in love? What can you hide? I'm not a feudal-minded person, I can understand. Hey! Unless you have no intention of being responsible at all and just want to have fun. You... aren't you?"

"Friends, really just friends."

Ning Weimin gave an categorical answer. After putting on his slippers, he ignored Zou Guodong and walked into the living room with a righteous attitude.

It's a pity that this is still useless. For a person like Zou Guodong who accepts death, it is not easy to get rid of the spirit of gossip once it overflows.

And this guy is quite evil.

Not only was he following behind, but he was also chasing after him step by step. A man from Shanxi came to demand the account - he was determined to follow.

Even the things Ning Weimin secretly took in his hands and wanted to find a place to put them away did not escape his eyes.

"What kind of friend? I'm not blind. What is that in your hand? Oops, it looks like a scarf! Did Xiaoqu give it to you? How dare you say that you two are okay? Tsk! In fact, I was It’s obvious that the man is affectionate and the woman is interested. In this meal, the only extra person is me.”

"You also know that you are redundant, right? I just want to treat you to this meal. Your kindness is not rewarded. It is all made up."

Ning Weimin was so pestered that he became a little impatient and would inevitably talk away.

But Zou Guodong was in high spirits. Not only did he not notice that Ning Weimin was not happy to come, he even kept nagging him.

"Who made this up? I really don't understand what you are worried about. One of you is an unmarried man, and the other is unmarried. Your love can be completely public. Isn't it good to have a free and open relationship? You have to worry about your affairs. There is no need for it to have a bad impact on the company. I understand human nature very well. What’s more, Xiaoqu’s excellence is obvious, and people speak for themselves with their results. Even if you take care of her, invest more in her. There is nothing wrong with the company’s resources. Who can make irresponsible remarks?”

"To be honest, I think you are quite discerning. In terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, Xiaoqu is second to none. There is no choice. What's even more rare is that Xiaoqu is a girl with good character. She She is really different from most models. She doesn’t smoke or drink, doesn’t join in the fun, and isn’t vain. She never becomes a vassal to anyone, let alone seeks out camps. Even after winning the first model competition, she didn’t become squeamish or lose her temper. No matter how you look at it, she is a rare and good girl. I’m not afraid you won’t like to hear it. There are many people in the company who are thinking about her. I heard that there are sons of senior officials who want to chase him. But without exception, she didn’t even look at it. Go on, I finally let you get it. You tell me whether you are lucky or not..."

Zou Guodong's heartfelt praise made Ning Weimin, who prided himself on being smart and discerning, extremely happy to hear it, as if he himself had been praised.

But even so, he still maintained his iron mouth and teeth.

"Stop, stop! Of course Xiaoqu is excellent. I know exactly what she is like. I discovered her. But even so, you can't just make us a couple out of thin air. Which of your eyes can see that we have something? Is this too polite? It doesn't matter that I'm a boy, but the ditty belongs to a girl. It's obviously a normal social relationship, why do you have to make it so vulgar..."

Zou Guodong looked at Ning Weimin in disbelief.

I never expected that after all that was said, this guy still denied it, and he still spoke so forcefully and plausibly.

"Ah! This is all proven, you... you still don't admit it?"

"What am I admitting, me? Your so-called proof is just a scarf. This is Tokyo, Japan, celebrating Western Christmas. Do as the Romans do, what's the matter with Christmas gifts? People like you are just afraid of people like you making nonsense. Arrangement, he only gave me things when we were alone. It turns out that it is very necessary."

Ning Weimin's continued sophistry was no longer annoying, but hateful.

Zou Guodong was so angry that he fainted from his ability to confuse right and wrong, and wanted to bite this kid.

"Hey, you're such a tough-talking person. I have to catch you in action before you admit it, right?"

"Humph, if you want to pull a wicker basket, just make it up. You're in the wrong profession, brother. You should go to a TV station and write scripts..."

"Okay, okay..." Zou Guodong was gnashing his teeth, and he insisted on calling this person Zhen'er.

He simply slapped his thigh, threw out all the evidence he had, and dumped it all over.

"Aren't you quibbling? Then let me ask you, you are not interested in her little song, why do you care about her so deliberately? You still have to ask me to support you. If it is a normal relationship, you can do this?"

"Let me ask you again, if nothing happened between the two of you, Xiaoqu would come all the way from Kyoto to see you? This is not just a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Xiaoqu also spent money to buy you so many good things. Want to eat and drink well? People have money and nowhere to spend it."

"I also want to ask you, if you are not a couple, what kind of couple watches do you get? When I was eating just now, I was almost blinded by the two watches on your wrists. They are both Cartier! They are even more expensive. Erxin! Is this correct? Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence!”

"Converted into RMB, such a watch costs tens of thousands! No matter how much Xiaoqu's labor fee is, if she wants to buy such an expensive watch, she will have to work for half a year! With her temperament, can she be willing to spend money so lavishly? If you didn't buy it for me, who else could it be? Do you still have the nerve to tell me that you're fine?"

What a guy, Zou Guodong suddenly made a gorgeous turn and turned into Mouri Kogoro on the spot!

This evidence, this analysis, it all fits together.

Although there is no reliable actual evidence, it is still difficult to distinguish and explain.

For a moment, even Ning Weimin, the eloquent master, couldn't help but falter.

I don't know how to explain things clearly.

What a conscience!

The Cartier they wear on their hands is just a pure coincidence!

The one for Quxiao was bought by Shi Kaili, and the one for Ning Weimin was given by Keiko Matsumoto.

These are completely two different things!

But the question is, can this be said?

Can Zou Guodong believe it?

So after stammering for a long time, Ning Weimin could only avoid the truth and try to change the topic.

"You are just a suspect stealing an axe. Anyway, you are sure that something is wrong between us two, so nothing is normal. I am too lazy to talk to you. It is a waste of time and you don't believe it. Let me tell you something. , time will tell everything.”

Follow him to the corner of the house and act sanctimoniously like a business elite.

He reached out and pushed a trolley case in the living room over.

"I said Mr. Zou, can we get down to business? You see, I was in such a hurry to attend this exhibition, and the promotional materials I made temporarily were too simple. They just included some product photos and basic data. This kind of thing Showing it to customers actually hurts the brand image of Yi La De. You have seen how good the market response is. In the future, we should definitely increase investment in advertising and actively participate in exhibitions, right? Then this trolley suitcase, Is it necessary to shoot a more formal commercial advertisement? Even if it is a two-dimensional one. Hey, I personally prefer to find an advertising company to produce it in Tokyo. The level here is much higher than that in China. It is the fashion center of Asia, not Just kidding. Just the cost..."

It should be said that what Ning Weimin wants to talk about is indeed serious matter.

Judging from the current good situation, it is quite necessary to shoot advertisements for the promotion of trolley suitcases.

But the problem is that in connection with the conversation just now, Zou Guodong only felt that he was hypocritical and saw through his treacherous plan.

How could someone be willing to fall for this trap and let him succeed?

How could you possibly have the heart to continue having a deep conversation with him?

In fact, Zou Guodong felt it was boring and didn't even bother to talk to Ning Weimin.

So he waved his hand, turned around and went back to his room to sleep, and immediately killed this kid.

And even after just a few steps, I couldn't help but complain and hit him.

"What are you talking about! You, you have no sincerity at all. I finally understand and I don't want to get a word of truth out of your mouth. If you don't want to spit, I don't want to talk to you. I'll see you tomorrow. Bar."

When he opened the door, Zou Guodong stopped and couldn't help but give Ning Weimin a few compliments.

"Actually, when it comes to advertising, you just have to make up your mind. Whatever you think is good, do it. Let's be clear, aren't you just going to take care of Xiaoqu? No problem. The labor fee doesn't matter. If you think two million yen is too little, Just three million. Anyway, no matter how much I sign here, I will pass it. Are you relieved? By the way, after I go back, President Song will ask about it, and I will say that you and Xiaoqu must be fine, it is a completely revolutionary friendship. Is this okay? Really!"

He pushed the door open and went in.

As a result, within a second, his body actually retreated again.

It seemed that he was still unwilling to give in, and he twisted his neck and said a few harsh words.

"Also, let me tell you. If you really like Xiaoqu, think about her future development. The modeling industry is just a youth job at best, not a long-term solution. Xiaoqu's golden career age is just around the corner. In the past few years, this circle has become more and more chaotic. As time goes by, Xiaoqu may be led astray by others. It will be too late for you to regret it. If you are really not interested in others, then you should make it clear to them as soon as possible. . Anyway, Xiaoqu is obviously interested in you. Things like this are afraid of ambiguity. The longer it is delayed, the deeper the misunderstanding will be, and the more hurtful it will be. Don't cheat such a good girl. In that case, I will look down on you! "

It wasn't until he finished speaking and felt a little more relaxed that Zou Guodong finally entered the room.

With a muffled sound, Ning Weimin was left sitting alone in the living room in a daze.

Not to mention, Zou Guodong's contemptuous words were indeed reasonable, and they deeply touched Ning Weimin's spirit.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, as he looked at the scarf in his hand, he couldn't help but recall the process and details of his relationship with Qu Xiao.

Think carefully about your behavior and whether there is anything excessive in it, whether it has ever tempted the little girl's mind, causing others to misunderstand.

He even started to think seriously about how suitable he should be with Qu Xiao, and the overall impact that his modeling career will have on Qu Xiao's future.

To be honest, when they broke up today, Qu Xiao's behavior really surprised him.

When he got the scarf, he suddenly realized that Qu Xiao was no longer the ignorant little girl in the past.

Seeing her shy and panicked look, I actually felt a little moved for no reason.

It can be said that Qu Xiao at this time made him clearly feel the erotic needs of men and women, and that a romance was about to begin, and he was within grasp of the opportunity.

But the problem is... a person like me originally planned to play in the world.

I really never thought about getting married like ordinary people, having a wife and having children.

The more outstanding and simple Qu Xiao is, the less he can bear to harm such a good girl.

After all, their psychological age gap is too big, and their perceptions of life, career, family, and society are also different.

If you really want to be happy for a while, tie her to your crooked tree.

But I can’t do it, I feel guilty!

Moreover, maintaining such a relationship requires a lot of effort and energy. There are two types of people.

What's more, he had already been attracted to Matsumoto Keiko.

A woman like her who is well-behaved, mature in thought, knows very well what men need, and always shows elegance and gentleness to others.

This is the type that makes him fall in love at first sight and like her from the bottom of his heart.

When he got along with Qingzi, there was really no pressure and he felt particularly worry-free and relaxed.

It was completely different from when he was dealing with young girls.

That feeling was what he needed.

So Zou Guodong really made a mistake about something.

The reason why he mentioned the advertisement just now was because of his selfish intentions.

But the original intention was really not for Qu Xiao. He originally wanted to have a good chat with Zou Guodong about Matsumoto Keiko.

Is that just a few million yen?

A top-tier Japanese actress needs at least tens of millions of yen!

Really, isn't this just like eating twists and turns - it's so screwed up!

Zou Guodong is too impatient. Why can't you let me finish my sentence?

…………

Just when Ning Weimin had a lawsuit on his head and was worried alone.

At about this hour, Qu Xiao, who took the subway back to the Kita Senju Hotel, also walked into her own guest room.

Although it was already ten o'clock, Qu Xiao did not go to change clothes and take a shower.

After taking off her shoes, she did not walk into the house. She just leaned against the door of the guest room and stared at the neon lights in the distance outside the window, lost in thought for a long time.

At this moment, her thoughts still lingered on the moment when she and Ning Weimin parted ways at the subway entrance.

When she thought that she had made such a bold move today, she felt that she was blushing, heartbeating, hot, trembling... uncontrollable.

But at the same time, there is another kind of happiness.

She was glad that she finally took the initiative to take a step forward.

Finally, he mustered up the courage at an important moment to declare his feelings to Ning Weimin with the hand-knitted scarf.

Otherwise, there may always be a mirror image between them...
