There were not many people coming from both sides, and the Japanese country had provided funds. The museum, which was originally in a tight situation, had already arranged dinner. In order to maintain their dignity, the Japanese people were embarrassed twice in a row at the auction, but no one was there.
absent.
Zhou Zichen was not very interested in such a dinner. Everyone was chatting and no one was really eating. Zhou Zichen was not keen on such things, so he simply brought some food and sat at the table by himself.
Let’s fill up our stomachs.
Occasionally, someone would come over to have a sip with Zhou Zichen, exchange business cards, and then leave quickly.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!" came a voice with a thick accent.
Zhou Zichen looked up and saw that he was actually a Japanese man. Zhou Zichen didn't know him, but he was greeted by others and didn't offend him. Zhou Zichen couldn't ignore people. As a country of etiquette, China couldn't be too rude.
"Hello!" Zhou Zichen nodded and greeted.
"My name is Noda Akira, and I am very interested in Chinese culture!" The man introduced himself and then asked: "Can I sit down?"
Zhou Zichen didn't know what Akira Noda wanted to do: "Mr. Noda is free, I wonder what Mr. Noda wants from me?"
Noda Akira raised the cup in his hand, Zhou Zichen picked up the cup, touched it with him, and took a sip.
Noda Akira drank all the red wine in the glass in one gulp and said: "I want to learn Chinese culture from Mr. Zhou. Our Japanese culture mainly comes from China, so I yearn for Chinese culture very much. The main reason for coming here this time is to find
A knowledgeable teacher to communicate with and learn from.”
Zhou Zichen really has no interest in this, but Noda Akira's attitude is still very good, but he is not interested in communicating with him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Noda, I still have a lot of things to do, and I may not be able to communicate with you, and I
He is not a master. If you are interested, you may be able to meet some professors at the university, and they will be more helpful to you."
Noda Akira was about to speak when a voice interrupted the conversation between the two people: "Hello, Mr. Noda!"
Noda Akira and Zhou Zichen both looked up and saw Zhao Jun holding a glass of wine with a smile on his face. He wanted to clink glasses with Noda Akira, but found that Noda Akira's glass was empty.
Noda Akira stood up, waved to the waiter not far away, and motioned for her to bring a glass of wine: "Sir, what do you want to see me for?"
Zhao Jun quickly took out his business card and handed it to Noda Akira: "Mr. Noda, I am the general manager of Yuko Electronics. Your company has a project with us that we will discuss again. However, there have been some problems with the progress recently. We have communicated many times.
, but I didn’t get a clear answer. I happened to see Mr. Noda Akira here, so I want to ask if it is our link that makes your company dissatisfied. We can make adjustments at any time.”
Noda Akira didn't seem to have much of an impression. He picked up the business card and took a look at it: "Mr. Zhao, I don't care about these things. I think you should talk to the relevant staff of our company. There is no use in talking to me."
At this time, Zhao Jun saw the waiter coming over and wanted to bring a glass of wine to Noda Akira. The waiter hadn't stopped yet. Zhao Jun suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the wine glass. The whole glass of red wine spilled on Noda Akira, and the wine glass snapped.
It broke with a crash.
The waiter panicked, quickly put the plate on the table aside, and kept apologizing to Noda Akira: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to do it, I'm really sorry!"
The waiter was a little girl. She looked like she had just joined the society, and her face turned pale with anxiety.
Noda Akira was still very gentlemanly. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his clothes: "It doesn't matter, I'll just wipe it off. Please help me again..."
Before Noda Akira finished speaking, Zhao Jun glared at the little girl angrily: "You don't have eyesight. Do you know how much Mr. Noda's suit costs? Your annual salary may not be enough."
The outfit Noda Akira is wearing is from Gucci, and it really costs tens of thousands. A waiter’s monthly salary is only three to five thousand, which is really not enough for this outfit.
The waiter was scolded and didn't know how to reply. When Noda Akira saw this, he was a little unhappy with Zhao Jun, but he still persuaded him kindly: "Mr. Zhao, it's not his fault, forget it!"
Zhao Jun also put it right: "Mr. Noda, when you come to our country, we cannot be rude to you. In my opinion, such a thing must never happen. On such occasions, all waiters should be
She has received professional training, but she can't even do the simplest task of serving dishes."
The waiter was just a little girl. When Zhao Jun said this, she lowered her head and shed tears.
Zhou Zichen couldn't stand it either. He originally thought that Zhao Jun would just say it, but it would not be easy for him to survive today, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jun really regarded himself as a person.
Zhou Zichen stood up and said to Zhao Jun: "Mr. Zhao, this little girl can't be completely blamed for this. It's meaningless for you to do this!"
Zhao Jun had talked about Zhou Zichen before, but Zhou Zichen was famous. Although he was jealous, he did not want to break up with Zhou Zichen: "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will take care of it."
Noda Akira frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao, this matter is over, and I have no intention of pursuing this matter."
Zhao Jun turned to Noda Akira, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Noda, I know you are magnanimous, but I am teaching this waiter a lesson today for her own good. If she does not remember well today, she will make more mistakes in the future.
It's a mistake."
"Who hit that wine glass? You accidentally knocked it down. What does it have to do with the little girl?" Zhou Zichen's voice has turned cold. The wine glass was obviously knocked down by Zhao Jun himself in a hurry.
, this little girl held it very steadily, even if the cup was knocked over, the plate did not fall.
Zhao Jun naturally knew what happened just now, but Noda Akira didn't see it. It was impossible for him to slap himself in the face. Now that Zhou Zichen said it at once, Zhao Jun's face became very ugly: "Mr. Zhou, there is no wine glass."
Come on, that’s her problem, is there anything wrong with that?”
The smile on Noda Akira's face has disappeared at this time, and his expression has become more serious: "Mr. Zhao, I believe that China is a country of etiquette. I think Mr. Zhou is very polite, but you shirk responsibility like this, this is not a good idea.
Collaborator, I don’t know what kind of cooperation our company wants to discuss with your company, and why we stopped halfway through the discussion, but I think this is good news. After I go back, I will completely give up cooperating with your company!”
Noda Akira's words were too sudden for Zhao Jun. He had been trying to please Noda Akira and had no idea what he had done wrong or why Noda Akira suddenly gave up cooperating with him.
Zhao Jun's expression changed several times, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural: "Mr. Noda, I think there is some misunderstanding between us..."
Noda Akira interrupted Zhao Jun directly: "You don't need to explain. I heard what Mr. Zhou just said. You knocked down the wine glass, and you still passed the responsibility to the waiter. This is an unwillingness to take responsibility."
If you show responsibility, our company will not cooperate with you."
Noda Akira's words were quite polite, but they were only polite in appearance, but there was firmness in his tone, which made Zhao Jun completely disappointed.
Without Noda Akira as a big deal, Zhao Jun became more and more unhappy with Zhou Zichen. If Zhou Zichen hadn't told him about the wine glass, in Zhao Jun's opinion, he still had hope.
Zhao Jun didn't care about anything at this time, pointed at Zhou Zichen and cursed: "Do you really think you are so great? This is none of your business, what the hell are you doing?"
Zhao Jun's voice was not soft when he said this. Many people had gathered around him, and some even came up to persuade him to make peace. However, most of them were facing Zhou Zichen. After all, Zhou Zichen and Zhao Jun were
There is still some disparity in status.
"Master Xiao Zhou, what's going on? And this gentleman, if you have anything to say, you can talk to me. It's not good for you to talk like this."
"That's right. I see you are also a cultured person. Why do you talk like this?"
The words of these people added fuel to Zhao Jun's fire. Anyway, he had no business dealings with these people. Noda Akira's big deal was gone. Zhao Jun was so angry that he couldn't bear to share so much: "Zhou Zi
Chen, do you think I am afraid of you because someone is helping you? You just have better luck, but you might be bankrupt at some point."
Zhou Zichen frowned: "You'd better be polite when you speak. You were talking about me behind my back during the auction. I didn't care. Just now you slandered this little girl. I originally saved you face, but you still can't do it now."
If you know how to advance and retreat, don't blame me for not saving face for you."
Zhao Jun was not afraid: "Then don't save it for me. What have I done? Do you still need to save face for me?"
Zhou Zichen sneered: "First, at the auction, because I didn't take a picture of the "Gathering of Wild Geese", you pointed at me behind my back and said something wrong with me, right? I was also
I’m not arguing with you, am I?”
Zhao Jun said nothing, because this was indeed a fact, and it was useless for him to deny it. Lu Wei was there at the time and heard what he said.
Zhou Zichen continued: "Mr. Noda's company seems to have an order for you. I don't know what's wrong with your company. They plan to find someone else. You come here to show your courtesy to Mr. Noda. This is nothing."
It’s a business matter, but you knocked down the wine glass and poured wine on Mr. Noda’s clothes, why should you blame a little girl?”
Zhao Jun argued: "If there is no stability, that's her problem."
Zhou Zichen was also laughed at by Zhao Jun: "What's your logic? If you have the ability, you can bring a plate with two wine glasses on it. I'll try to slap it over and see if the cups can still grow roots? And the plate that the little girl is holding is
, even if you bumped into the wine glass and didn't move it, you came up to teach her a lesson and made her cry directly, why don't you admit your own mistakes? "
Zhao Jun still wanted to explain, but the people around him already had a rough idea of the situation, and the little waitress on the side was still crying.
"Zhao Jun is also a big man. He can't afford such a small thing as knocking over his cup. Do you want to blame the girl?"
"I think he is just a little girl, without any sense of responsibility."
"I think Noda Akira is wise not to cooperate with him. If something goes wrong in the future, I don't know how to shirk responsibility."
There was a cry of criticism from the people around him. No matter how thick-skinned Zhao Jun was, he could not continue to stay. Even if he stayed, no one would care about him. Staying here would be just a laughing stock.
Zhao Jun glanced at Zhou Zichen with a sinister look, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
