Half an hour later, Matsumoto Keiko finally discovered the code words in the pager that were used between the two of them, "000860——hello" and "000106——waiting for you". Everything was different.

The decadence, suffering, torture and doubts she had accumulated for many days disappeared almost in an instant.

Especially when she actually called back and heard Ning Weimin's voice coming from the phone.

It was more like drinking from a spring of happiness, and I instantly regained my excitement, positivity and optimism, without any resentment or grievance.

"... I'm sorry I haven't contacted you for a long time. It's not an excuse. I'm really too busy. You... aren't angry, are you?"

"How could I be angry? Being busy at work only shows that you are a person who is needed by society."

"Ah? Is that what you think?"

"Yes, it is a good thing for men to be enterprising. But, having said that, you have been so busy recently. Is it too hard? You haven't been to the bookstore recently. Are you focusing on real estate transactions? I have been watching TV news recently.

I found that real estate in Tokyo is really booming. Your judgment is really accurate, it’s not easy.”

"Qingzi, are you making fun of me?"

"I wouldn't dare. I'm sincerely happy for you. If you work so hard and are so talented, your boss will definitely see it."

"If that's the case, I'll feel at ease. But Qingzi, I have to explain to you that selling houses is just a part-time job for me. I have decided not to do it anymore..."

"Great, I was still thinking about how to tell you. I happened to have contacted you about a good job..."

"Ah? You...what?"

"I contacted you about a job. Do you want to go take a look?"

"are you joking?"

"Of course not, I'm serious."

"This is it"

"Don't worry, the job is very simple. I'm responsible for managing materials at a record company. You can definitely do it with your Japanese proficiency. And it's also very easy. You only work six hours a day. The salary is 450,000 yen, which is actually not bad.

.It doesn’t matter that you are a foreigner. The president and I have already said hello. If you are willing, you can go to work at any time. Then it will be much easier for us to meet in the future..."

Ning Weimin was indeed surprised. The conversation just now made him sincerely surprised by Matsumoto Keiko's thoughtfulness.

What was even more unexpected was that Keiko Matsumoto would help him contact work.

After all, he is not a pretty boy who really wants to eat soft rice, and he has no psychological burden at all for such a thing.

I just feel very kind and grateful.

But this also made him more embarrassed, but what should I say?

"What...do you think? Are you unwilling to go?"

On the phone, Matsumoto Keiko sighed because she didn't get a response for a long time.

"No way."

Ning Weimin didn't know what to do, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I'm very sorry, the work is really good, thank you very much. But unfortunately, I can only live up to your kindness. You should know that I actually...

"

Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, the misunderstanding worsened, and Matsumoto Keiko actually apologized to Ning Weimin.

"No, don't feel embarrassed, but I need to apologize. It's my fault and I didn't consider your feelings. I'm really sorry. If you feel dissatisfied and really don't want to go, just pretend I didn't mention it.

…”

With such sincere self-blame, Ning Weimin couldn't hide it anymore and quickly clarified the facts in the most straightforward way.

"No! No! Qingzi, I want to tell you that I went abroad on a mission. I was hired by Pierre Cardin China Company, and I came to Tokyo specifically to organize a restaurant. In fact, I will be so busy these days,

I can't spare any time at all. It's because my superior has also come to Tokyo. Recently, I have been discussing work with him every day, arranging his schedule, and being responsible for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Moreover, the restaurant I prepared will open next year.

Now, as the person in charge of the restaurant, I will put the restaurant's operation on the right track. In this case, how can I accept other jobs? Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Ah? Is that so? Are you coming to Tokyo to open a restaurant? Are you kidding me?"

Without seeing Matsumoto Keiko's face, Ning Weimin could tell that her eyes must have been wide open at this time.

In line with the principle of saying good things for free, he began to speak eloquently.

"I'm not kidding! If I didn't have such a responsibility, how could I live up to your kindness? Even if I resign, I won't hesitate. What a great job you introduced. The salary is high and the time is short. It's a pity.

, before I went abroad, I promised the company that I would run the restaurant well. To be honest, if the company hadn’t sent me abroad, I wouldn’t have known you. For this reason, I can’t be sorry for the company’s cultivation and expectations. So I still

I hope you can understand, what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. I'm actually very happy to hear you say that. But...could it be that you said this deliberately because you were worried about my face? Could you be thinking...what a shame.

A woman who will cause trouble?”

"I'm really touched. Ever since I was little, I've been the one asking for help. No one has ever thought about me like you have. What you did for me is just like Schumann's "Fantasia""

"Oh... you are exaggerating, I will blush..."

Matsumoto Keiko's voice was very soft, just like an ordinary woman in love, and Ning Weimin breathed a sigh of relief.

"...By the way, can I ask you something else? I need to find a video tape of a program for work needs. Do you have any acquaintances at Fuji TV?"

"Huh? Fuji TV. What program is it on? I think it should be fine."

"I forgot what program it was. It was broadcast just last month. I remember it was a variety show at 9:30 on Friday night. It took about half an hour to introduce how a restaurant called Salia is run."

"Do you need it urgently? The search will take time..."

"Well, it's urgent. If possible, it's best to do it before Christmas. My boss is flying back to China on December 24th. If he can make it in time, I hope he can take this video back to China..."

"Then I'll make the arrangements. Don't worry."

"Is that okay? Thank you so much!"
