Chapter 293
Secretary Zhao knew that Mr. Jiang wanted to meet Ms. Zhu and instructed him to knock on the door after ten minutes. He watched the time in his office and saw that ten minutes had passed, so he came over and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, he heard the laughter of Mr. Chiang right outside the door, which surprised him greatly.
He asked the guard at the door, “How long have they been in?”
The guard replied, “Fifteen minutes.”
Fifteen minutes of conversation wasn’t enough? VIP Jiang was still smiling so happily?
Secretary Zhao wondered in his heart, did not knock on the door, gently pushed the door into, see the sofa sitting on three people, Jiang and a young lady sitting face to face, Su Chunjun sat aside, pouring tea for the two.
Su Chunjun was sitting on the side, pouring tea for the two of them. When he saw him coming in, Mr. Jiang smiled and said, “You’re here? Let Yan Yan finish her story.” Su Chunjun got up to greet him.
Su Chunjun got up to welcome him, and Secretary Zhao came over and took a slightly surprised look at Ms. Zhu, seeing that she was really a pretty girl, young and generous, and didn’t seem to have any stage fright when she was confronted by Mr. Jiang.
She smiled and said: “There is nothing behind, just that the Japanese teacher refuted me, said that the prince of Japan, light source is a very romantic person, like our country ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’ in the Jia Baoyu, so every woman loves him, his love with Zi above is also very beautiful, and is not what □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□.”
Secretary Zhao listened with wide eyes. He was also someone who had read Japanese literature, and knew that this was about a character in a work called The Tale of Genji, which was very popular with the Japanese, the story of the Kougen Clan. The Light Source himself is also a real person in Japanese history. This little girl in front of the Japanese said that the light source of the face is □□, this courage is also too big.
Secretary Zhao couldn’t help but ask, “Is that Japanese teacher your tutor?”
Zhu Yuyan shook her head, “It’s the Japanese teacher at school.”
Secretary Zhao was even more wide-eyed.
Essential Jiang explained for her, “Her university was put in by the Japanese with a class and four teachers, all Japanese, and they, the students, had to go to the Japanese teacher’s class as well, and Yan Yan was talking about when she was in class.”
Secretary Zhao huffed and sighed: “Little girl, you’re really bold, do you know that the Japanese are capable of killing people? You’re so bold, don’t your family teach you anything?”
He spoke like this, Zhu Yuyan’s impression of him is very good, this Jiang dignitary listened to half a day just laugh, this talent as soon as he came in to listen to a tail to worry about her up.
She smiled and said, “I’ll be careful with all of it, I won’t really make the Japanese angry.”
Secretary Zhao was even more surprised.
VIP Jiang glanced at his watch, Su Chunjun and Secretary Zhao immediately both understood, Secretary Zhao then hurriedly said, “VIP, it’s almost time, you should get ready to go down.”
VIP Jiang then said, “That’s good, Xiao Su, Yan Yan, you guys go down and wait for a while, I’ll go downstairs.”
Su Chunjun then helped Zhu Yuyan stand up, and the two of them went out. Secretary Zhao served Essential Jiang to go inside to change his clothes.
While changing, Secretary Zhao said, “VIP, this little girl is so strange, how can she be so bold, and the Japanese really aren’t angry with her?”
Essentialist Jiang sighed, “I also thought at first when I heard her that she was either making it up or that she was secretly related to the Japanese. But after listening for a while I realized why the Japanese liked her.”
Secretary Zhao: “The Japanese like her? How can that be possible? She’s an ordinary, normal little girl, where did she get the ability to tell the Japanese to like her?”
Instead of answering this question, Essential Chiang asked him, “Little Zhao, how much do you know about Japan?”
Secretary Zhao thought for a moment and said, “Not much. As you know, I only went to Kyoto, Japan for two years of study only, and I studied oil painting.”
Secretary Zhao was a man who loved art when he was young, and he was enamored of the completely different temperament of Western painting from Chinese painting, but he didn’t have the money to go to Europe to study painting, so he had to compromise and go to Japan.
“Although I lived in Japan for two years, I usually didn’t have the chance to go to Japan’s flower streets and have a good time, so I can call myself ignorant of Japan.” Secretary Zhao said.
What he benefited most from studying in Japan was that he could speak fluent Japanese, or Kyoto accent, and was very good at reading and writing, which made him stand out among many clerks and secretaries.
Essential Chiang said, “I have never been to Japan and have only read a few books on Japan.”
Essential Chiang also went to study abroad, but not in Japan, but in the U.S. He also did not go to study art or painting, he studied business and trade.
This pair of masters and servants, one aspiring to be a painter, the other aspiring to be a big businessman, both ended up in politics.
Naturally, Secretary Zhao would not say that all rich people went to Europe and America to study and only poor people went to Japan to study. This is because foreign students who go to Japan to study are subsidized by the Japanese government, and if they want to stay and work in Japan after completing their studies, the Japanese government also strongly supports them. This is very attractive to students who do not have money and want to learn a skill. In comparison, the European and American side is not very friendly to the poor, especially the poor Chinese.
VIP Chiang: “But then she knew Japan very well. And not just one place, or one person. She knew many cities, many people, many histories of Japan. There’s no shortage of open-ended, hearsay, but she knows Japan far better than you, than many people I’ve met.”
Secretary Zhao: “Did she also study in Japan for many years?”
Essential Chiang: “She’s never left home since she was born.”
Secretary Zhao: “That means she had a Japanese teacher.”
VIP Chiang: “I guess so. But she was taught Japanese by Su Chunjun, both Japanese and English. Su Chunjun didn’t go to Japan to study either.”
Secretary Zhao couldn’t figure it out, “Could it be, that she had a secret Japanese teacher?” After saying that, he shook his own head, “The Zhu family is very short of money and doesn’t need to put up this facade. Ms. Zhu also doesn’t have to avoid people when she hires a tutor for her daughter.”
Nowadays, it is very fashionable to hire foreign tutors, Japanese, American, British, French, are not uncommon.
Essential Chiang said, “I’ve never seen a person with such a split attitude toward Japan as Ms. Zhu Ershi.”
Secretary Zhao: “Split?”
VIP Chiang: “Do you think she likes Japan?”
Secretary Zhao only came in just now and heard a sentence and a half, but he savored the flavor of Miss Zhu Er’s words and shook his head, “I don’t think she likes it. She despises Japan very much.”
Essential Chiang: “That’s what I thought at first. But it’s not that she doesn’t like Japan, on the contrary, she likes Japan very much.”
Secretary Zhao: “Is that so?”
VIP Chiang: “But she hates the Japanese.”
Secretary Zhao: “What?”
VIP Chiang: “You heard right. She loves Japan, but she hates the Japanese very much. She antagonizes her teachers in class, all on purpose because she hates those Japanese teachers.”
Secretary Zhao: “This …… Japanese have offended her?”
Essential Chiang shook his head, “That’s unknown.”
He changed into a suit under the ministrations of Secretary Zhao, tied his bow tie, and sat down to put on his leather shoes again.
He said, “Zhao, of all the impressions you have of the Japanese, what is the best one?”
Secretary Zhao thought for a moment and said, “When I was studying in Japan, the mother-in-law of the family that took care of me, she would make my breakfast and prepare my bento every morning, and would stand at the door to see me out. When I came back late, she stood on the bridge holding a lantern waiting for me, afraid that I would fall off when I crossed the bridge without being able to see.”
Essential Chiang: “You see, everyone is almost always like that. When we don’t know much about a country, we all have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of it because of someone. Now all the students out there hate Japan because of the newspaper reports of the Japanese invasion of us. You, on the other hand, will hold a certain amount of goodwill towards Japan because you once received favors from the Japanese.”
Secretary Cho: “There are good people and bad people everywhere.” Following that, he understood, “Essentials, you are saying that this Miss Zhu Er must also have been taught these things about Japanese personnel by a certain Japanese person, which made her hold a very strong favorable feeling towards Japan as a country. The Japanese must be well aware of this as well.”
Essential Jiang nodded, “Yes, the Japanese must be able to see this as well.”
Secretary Zhao came to a realization, “So that’s how it is. They can also see that Miss Zhu Er deliberately messed up in class because of her childishness, not because she is hostile to Japan.”
Essential Chiang: “Right. That’s why the Japanese don’t hate her, on the contrary, they quite like her, and the worse her attitude is, the more valuable the Japanese’s tolerance becomes. Her attitude also eliminated the resentment of the Chinese students for her.” He said regretfully, “It was a mistake on her part, an unintentional mistake.”
Secretary Zhao knew what was on Essential Chiang’s mind and couldn’t help but smile, “Essential Chiang, there’s no way to learn this.”
VIP Jiang sighed, “Yes. I was looking for her to learn from her, but I didn’t realize that this is pure luck on her part.”
When Essentialist Jiang changed his clothes, the two of them went out. The guards naturally followed behind.
Secretary Zhao said, “VIP, do you think Su Chunjun still has problems?”
VIP Jiang: “So far, he seems to be credible.”
Secretary Zhao: “Then let him run this mess for now, right? Do you want me to draft a document for an appointment or something?”
Essential Jiang: “Why bother being so formal? Just announce it first at the banquet later, and when we get back over there, just send him a letter back.”
While talking, the two of them went down to the first floor, and saw that at the stairway, Su Chunjun and Zhu Er Miss were standing together, a pair of beauties, with the appearance of a man and a woman.
Secretary Zhao whispered, “I heard that this Second Miss Zhu also runs a charitable foundation, so I’m sure she’s not a stupid person.”
Essential Jiang: “I don’t know if it’s stupid or not, but it has a tiger’s guts.”
The two laughed and walked over.
Su Chunjun saw VIP Jiang coming over and once again walked up on the arm of Second Miss Zhu, then followed behind VIP Jiang and Secretary Zhao.
VIP Jiang smiled and deliberately spoke to Secretary Zhao, pointing vaguely at Su Chunjun, “Look at that, so good at being a man. What’s this called?”
Secretary Zhao laughed as well, deliberately talking to Zhu Yuyan, “The VIP examined me, and Second Miss came to speak.”
Zhu Yuyan smiled and glanced at Su Chunjun, saying, “Mr. Zhao just call me Yan Yan, that’s what they call me at my home.” With a twinkle in her eye, she said, “There’s an idiom that’s just right, but I can’t think of it for a moment as my brain is spinning.”
Su Chunjun smiled and begged for forgiveness, “Both Mr. Zhao and my second young miss gave me face and refused to speak frankly. The dignitary spared me, lend me some guts, alas, just now many people came in to laugh at me.”
Mr. Jiang said, “What did they laugh at you for? This room of people, the brains do not add up to the weight of two taels. You have to work hard to get ahead.”
Su Chunjun said respectfully, “Yes.”
The people in the lobby watched in disbelief as Su Chunjun walked in with his fiancée on his arm, joking and laughing with VIP Jiang.
They all thought that Su Chunjun would be finished without Mayor Feng, but how come he has so quickly gotten on the good side of dignitary Jiang!
Those who had seen Su Chunjun entering and exiting Jiang’s office laughed in secret, not caring about the idiots in this hall, and all of them piled up their smiles and looked over at Mr. Su.
Mr. Su is really talented and young!
