But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and she doubts if there are any other hidden conditions behind this opportunity.
After all, she only helped Ning Weimin a little bit, so for such good luck to fall on her head was simply too dreamy.
After all, she could also sense Ning Weimin's preference for her and felt that she had become a substitute for a certain girl, so the last sentence was also her test.
There are some things that she will not trade. She is not like some models who have no bottom line and are willing to switch careers.
Not even the handsome and wealthy Ning Weimin.
"Isn't it easy to thank me? The second thing I want to tell you today is your opportunity to thank me."
"You...you said..."
"Qingzi and I have decided to get married. You should have heard about it, right?"
"Yeah. So...so...what?"
"Why are you nervous? It's like this. We have decided to hold the wedding in Japan and then in Beijing. The wedding banquet in Japan is hosted by Keiko, and it may be held soon. However, I am not in Tokyo.
A few relatives and friends. I'm afraid I can only invite a few people from the embassy to the wedding to make up for the wedding. What do you think? Are you willing to come and support me? Don't make me look unpopular.
There are not even a few friends from my hometown in Tokyo. This will make the little devils question my character..."
Fortunately, Ning Weimin's conditions were completely within the normal range, and his words revealed a sense of intimacy that he regarded her as a friend.
This made Yao Peifang not only relieved, but also quite honored.
"This...where is this? Of course there is no problem. I...I will definitely go."
Just after making the promise to attend the wedding, Yao Peifang felt a slight sting in her heart.
This is why?
Such a reaction was strange even to her.
However, before he had time to think clearly, Ning Weimin made another shocking move, which completely confused Yao Peifang.
"Okay, I will send the invitation to you later. This envelope is for you. Take it. In addition to the five hundred thousand yen, there is also a piece of paper here. The date of the interview, address and contact information are all written on it..."
"What? Five hundred thousand yen? Give it to me?"
Hearing the amount of money, Yao Peifang was really frightened and resisted firmly, "No, no, I don't want it... You have given me such a good opportunity, how could I..."
But the following words from the clinker Ning Weimin hit the nail on the head and really put Yao Peifang in a difficult position.
"What are you talking about? Here we go again! It seems you still don't understand. Didn't I just say that the role you want to fight for is the rich daughter? You can't go to the audition dressed casually? Why don't you wear something as ordinary as yours?
Young lady, don’t let the director brush you off as soon as he sees you. This money is for you to buy clothes that look dazzling, just like when you participated in the model competition. Do you understand?”
"I...I...it won't take so much!"
"Oh, this is Japan, not our country. In China, Picardy is considered a luxury product. But if you go to those real international big-name stores in Japan, a skirt of 200,000 to 300,000 yen is very common. You can also buy a pair of shoes.
.Buy some small jewelry. Seriously, this may not be enough. Besides, you have to attend my wedding. In addition to buying clothes, there is also travel expenses. I can arrange accommodation for you, but you have to cover it for me.
A 30,000 yen red envelope, right? What? You can’t use this money, you have so much money in your own hands?”
Yao Peifang suddenly realized Ning Weimin's thoughts, but at the same time she also felt embarrassed.
Her imagination was limited by poverty, but she never thought that buying clothes would cost so much.
Buying clothes worth more than 10,000 yuan a piece and wearing them is simply a sin!
For a moment, she hesitated, not knowing what to do.
"No, that...that..."
Ning Weimin was happy and took the initiative to make the decision for her.
"Stop talking about 'that, that'. If it's a big deal, don't stick to trivial matters. Just do as I say. At worst, this money will be considered a temporary loan from me. Xiao Yao, you are a smart girl. I understand that you have repeatedly refused my financial help.
Why? Didn’t I also voluntarily give up the commission from Tan Gong Restaurant? You see, we both have the same idea. We both understand the same truth, if you are willing to give up, you will get something if you give up. But you also have to
You should learn to be flexible and never accept death."
It’s just that you have to pay attention to methods and methods even if you have good intentions.
Perhaps because Ning Weimin's attitude was somewhat condescending and lecturing, it still inevitably aroused a little rebellious feeling in Yao Peifang.
"Ah, are we the same? Don't be kidding. How can we be compared? They are completely different, right? What you gave up was tens of millions of yen! I can't bear to part with it. If I have the ability to earn so much money, then
I definitely won’t give it to anyone else!”
Although she knew that Ning Weimin was doing it for her own good, due to her pride, Yao Peifang still couldn't help but retort a few words angrily.
"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? Big and small are relative. The principles are the same." Ning Weimin was quite dumbfounded.
"Where do I have it? I really don't understand. I have never figured it out. Isn't running a business just for money? If you even give up such a large amount of commissions that you deserve, then you have worked so hard to run Tan Palace.
No matter how good it is, what's the point if the money is shared with others? Don't you feel that you are at a disadvantage? I really want to know what you think. Twenty million yen, if you exchange it for RMB, you have 100 yuan.
That’s all. If you don’t want the opportunity to become a millionaire in an honest and fair way, don’t let it go. Don’t talk about the 40 million yen or 50 million yen in the future.”
Relying on the gender advantage of girls and the favor of Ning Weimin, Yao Peifang has no worries about the consequences of her strong words. She is absolutely sure of her pretentiousness.
Of course, she wasn't pretending to be confused because she understood. These questions had been lingering in her mind for a long time, and she was indeed unhappy about them.
At this time, I took advantage of the opportunity to catch up and asked boldly.
As expected, Ning Weimin was not only not angry, but also patiently answered the questions like a teacher.
"Ha, you really made me laugh. Do you know that I am not only running Danmiya Restaurant in Tokyo? I am also doing many other businesses. Not to mention anything else, I only run a few brands
In the trolley suitcase agency business, the money I personally earn far exceeds the commission from Tan Gong Restaurant. The official background of several investors of Tan Gong Restaurant not only allows me to process visas and re-stay
, it is easier to obtain approval from the Japanese side. It can also give me a certain level of identity protection and protect me from harassment by many unscrupulous forces in Japan. It can even increase my personal credibility, and I will be more confident in dealing with Japanese banks and applying for loans.
It's much easier. Not to mention, it's very convenient for me to entertain clients. I'm not afraid to tell you that this restaurant can save me tens of millions of yen in social expenses and living expenses every year just in eating and drinking. If Tan Palace can really
When I open a second or third branch in Japan, there will undoubtedly be more places for me to take advantage of. Then why should I bother with this commission? Little girl, I'm not a saint. It's really no good.
I won't do anything purely dedicated. The reason why you can't understand is because there are some things you can't see.
Needless to say, for Yao Peifang, these words completely refreshed her understanding.
Only then did she suddenly realize that Ning Weimin was doing something selfish in the name of selflessness.
Everything that was unreasonable turned out to be quite reasonable. It was only because my vision was too low that I couldn't understand the key points.
But girls, the closer they are to someone emotionally, the less willing they are to admit defeat verbally.
"Okay, I admit, I haven't thought about what you said. I did learn a lesson from you today. But a wise man will always make mistakes, and you are not considerate of everything. Now that I have said this, then I
I have to kindly remind you that you seem to be a little too anxious to open a branch of Tan Palace, but you have neglected a very important thing."
"Oh, what's going on? I'd like to hear the details."
Ning Weimin's tone was a bit like coaxing a child. Although he was very cooperative, it made Yao Peifang feel even more looked down upon.
She no longer cared about selling out, and said it all in one breath.
"When you give up commissions and give bonuses to everyone, you not only give up money, but also assume responsibility. These investors all have superior units, and they are willing to support you, but it does not mean that there are no hidden dangers. Think about it
, what if your superiors find out that you use commissions to pay bonuses to others? If the problem is really taken down, what should you do? Manager Ning, no one will share the burden for you. I advise you to think of a way in advance.
It’s good to make some arrangements.”
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin's attitude did not change. Instead, he laughed, still so calm and relaxed.
"Okay, thank you for your reminder. Xiao Yao, thank you for your kindness. However, I know my situation very well. I won't hide it from you. In fact, the old principal and Qiao Wanlin have advised me on these words. But the key problem is that as long as
People who want to do things always need to take risks and take responsibility. The bigger the thing you want to do, the bigger the risk you have to take and the heavier things you have to bear. No matter how capable a person is, he must be brave enough to do it.
That's all. That's why I'm not afraid of taking responsibility. This is what I should take. Having said that, I also want to remind you, you must not think that the five hundred thousand yen I gave you is just banknotes. No, in fact, this is
Responsibility. If you want to get this role, you must first shoulder the weight of the five hundred thousand yen. As I just said, the money can be regarded as a loan from you. If you need this money, you must spend it and dress up well.
Only by yourself can you impress the director at the first meeting. If you win the role, you can easily repay it with the salary. If you can't win the role, the money will be wasted, which will naturally make you feel uncomfortable. So my question now is,
You always say you need a chance, but do you have the courage to seize it at all costs?"
As if she had been enlightened, at this moment, Yao Peifang truly understood what Ning Weimin's choice was before her.
Deeply touched, she couldn't help but ask again.
"...then...I...can I ask, where does your courage come from? You are not afraid of any eventuality, and you are not worried about gains and losses at all..."
"Me? My courage comes from a rather special source. Others cannot learn from it. First, I work in a foreign company and made a lot of money in Japan. Now I want to go to most countries in the world and I can fulfill my wish. So like this
Financial freedom allows me to deal with any problem with ease. Secondly, I married a Japanese woman. And she is also a famous star. You have to know that transnational marriage has its own benefits, although it is a bit troublesome for two people with different nationalities.
But I can also protect myself at critical moments. If one day, some people in China want to put the blame on me, it will not be so easy. They have to worry about the influence of public opinion and external influence, and they have to worry about what I will do.
I won’t break the rules and just turn myself into a Japanese when I’m angry. So there will always be discussions when the time comes.”
Ning Weimin's answer shocked Yao Peifang.
However, she couldn't even be jealous of such arrogance.
People do not rely on fate or luck, but purely on their own ability to win this kind of privilege of "having whatever they want and doing whatever they want".
This is probably the true meaning of "people are more likely to die than others".
"That's right. If you become a Japanese citizen, then... you really have no responsibility. If you are really forced to that point, will you... will you change your nationality?"
As a result, she never expected that a "world citizen" like Ning Weimin still had an extremely pure Chinese heart.
"Me? Of course not. You girl is a bit irritating! If you miss me so much, you are scolding me. I can tell you this, nationality is something I will never give up in my life, no matter what.
There will never be such a day. I told you this, if you really want to change, Qingzi will follow me and change. I will always be a citizen of the Republic. But you, maybe you will marry a foreigner in the future.
, I think it’s a little bit suspenseful. You’re going to change your nationality in the future, but don’t blame me for disowning you..."
"What? Me? I don't know how. I am born as a Chinese and die as a Chinese ghost. If you don't believe me, let's hook up..."
Thinking about it, Yao Peifang unconsciously smiled.
Is it satisfaction? Is it joy? Is it gratification? Is it admiration? Is it closeness? Is it tacit understanding?
I'm afraid even she herself can't explain what it feels like.
Only one thing is certain, great wisdom and great love. This is the culture of heroes. Which woman doesn’t love heroes?
Therefore, although the experience of these ten days was indeed very difficult, afterward, she did not feel that she was suffering at all.
Instead, she felt that thanks to Ning Weimin, she experienced a different kind of life, saw different scenery, heard different voices, and had thoughts and awareness about many issues.
These may not seem important to most people, but she knows they are actually very important.
It can be said that even apart from the opportunities and help given by Ning Weimin, she felt that this journey was worthwhile.
As for their relationship... they can barely be considered friends, right?
To be honest, she is self-aware and has never had such expectations.
They are not on the same level at all, so why should they be friends with them?
In her opinion, it was good enough that they could get to know each other, become acquaintances, and talk to each other.
Ning Weimin actually thought so highly of her and was willing to treat her as a friend, which really surprised and surprised her.
Perhaps the only bad thing is that Ning Weimin is a little too special and too charming.
Of course she knew that she should never be interested in a man who was about to get married.
Once you move, even if you open the door to hell, there will be no second result except that you will be tortured and hurt.
But the problem is, there are some people in this world who were born just to bring trouble to the world and the world.
And sometimes, people's emotions and reason are at odds with each other.
