The news that Matsumoto’s family was decimated completely shocked Takehiko.
He was already dumbfounded, and blurted out: “This will wipe out all the more than 30 Matsumotos. Isn’t this too cruel?! Who is so bold?”
Emi shook her head and said, “don’t know the specifics. The police are also investigating this matter.”
Charlie said coldly at this time: “Do you still need to check it? It must be the Su family. I rescued the Su family siblings just in the middle of the night, and the Su family killed the Matsumoto family behind the scenes in the middle of the night.
Takehiko Ito looked a little surprised, and murmured: “The Su family’s behavior style is too harsh? Ryoto Matsumoto only acted on their subordinates and two younger generations. Even if they take revenge, they could take Ryoto Matsumoto. Isn’t it enough to kill people? At most, kill their bodyguards. Why do you have to hurt so many people up and down?”
Charlie said with a black face: “This should be the style of the Su family.”
With that, Charlie couldn’t help thinking of his parents again.
With the fierce style and vicious methods of the Su family, the death of his parents is probably directly caused by them!
Thinking of this, Charlie felt extremely upset!
He was so d*mn blind that he saved and released the eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter of the Su family!
If he didn’t intervene, the two brothers and sisters would have become cold corpses by now!
In that case, the talent pool of the younger generation of the Su family must have suffered heavy losses.
More importantly, this could greatly blow the Su Family’s arrogance!
This is not that Charlie is narrow-minded, but that his parents’ hatred is not shared!
Seeing Charlie’s ugly expression on the side, Takehiko couldn’t help asking: “Mr. Charlie, are you okay?”
Charlie chuckled and shook his head: “It’s nothing, I am just a bit surprised.”
What can he say?
He can’t tell Takehiko Ito about the death of his parents and his own life experience.
Ito Nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed: “I didn’t expect that in just a few days, things would turn into the current situation…”
As he said, he continued with a serious face: “Now it seems that this incident seems to have been unintentional, and the Ito family has become the biggest beneficiary.”
Emi agrees and said: “This is indeed the case. Originally, we competed fiercely with the Takahashi family, but I did not expect that both Machi Takahashi and his son were dead. Next, the Takahashi family will be very vigorous and hurt.”
“Also, Ryoto Matsumoto had been trying hard to catch up from behind. Now the entire Matsumoto family has been wiped out. All the business shares of the Matsumoto family have been released. Can the Takahashi family now have the ability to compete with us? Not to mention the families below. , If we take the opportunity to grab the resources released by the Takahashi and Matsumoto families, then we will soon be able to become the true Japanese first family!”
Takehiko nodded, but there was no sign of happiness in his expression. He sighed: “I wanted to be like a samurai, and frankly compete with Takahashi, but I didn’t expect that I would become a snipe and clam. A fisherman who has gained nothing for nothing, is really unbelievable…”
At this moment, Charlie looked at Takehiko with admiration. Most people at this moment are probably excited and overwhelmed.
But what he didn’t expect is that Takehiko still has this consciousness.
At this time, Emi counseled: “Brother, there is no need to worry about how to win. After all, the things encountered by these two families are not behind us. Even if we take advantage of it, Those who can pick it up have peace of mind, so the most urgent task is to quickly start cleaning the battlefield and take this opportunity to let the Ito family stand on top of their invincibility!”
Takehiko Ito did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Charlie, clasped his fists again, and said sincerely, “Mr. Charlie, thank you for all this! If it were not for you, the end of the Ito family might not be much better than Machi Takahashi. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that the Ito family and the Takahashi family have already been calculated by Matsumoto to ruin our homes. You are the benefactor of the Ito family!”
Seeing this, Emi immediately stood up, knelt on one knee, clasped her fists, and said sincerely: “Mr. Charlie, brother, he has trouble with his legs, so I would like to thank you on behalf of the Ito family!”
Nanako also hurriedly got up, and immediately knelt down with her aunt, and said in gratitude, “Master, please also accept my gratitude!”
Charlie sighed lightly and said seriously: “You two, please get up. You don’t need to do this. Although I helped the Ito family by chance, you escaped this disaster. In the final analysis, it is the good fortune of the Ito family. “
Emi and Nanako just got up.
Emi said to Takehiko Ito: “Brother, Mr. Charlie is right. In addition to Mr. Charlie’s help in this matter, I have to say that the good fortune of our Ito family is really rare! Not only can we take the opportunity to absorb the Takahashi family and the Matsumoto family The share released can also take advantage of the Takahashi family’s vitality to promote cooperation with the Su family. If the Su family wants to do business, now they only have the choice of the Ito family!”
“No!” Ito said without hesitation: “From now on, we will not cooperate with the Su family of any nature!”
Emi couldn’t help asking, “Brother, why is this?! Haven’t you been looking forward to this collaboration?”
Takehiko said very seriously: “That’s because I didn’t know enough about the Su family! But now, through the Matsumoto family’s affairs, I can see through the Su family’s behavior. The Su family is too hostile and has no bottom line. Even the underage children are not spared. To cooperate with this kind of family is to seek the skin of the tiger!”
Emi looked terrified, and suddenly said: “What my brother said makes sense…The Su family’s actions are indeed too cruel…”
As she said, Emi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: “Brother, I heard that another family in China ranked second only to the Su family seems to want to get involved in ocean shipping. They have been competing with the Su family for many years. Similar to our situation with the Takahashi family over the years, if conditions are right, we can cooperate with the Wade family.”
Takehiko Ito shook his head and said, “Forget it, the Su family and the Wade family are both very strong. In recent years, China’s economic development has been advancing by leaps and bounds. The strength of these two families has also far surpassed other families in Asia, whether it is the Su family or the Wade family. We are far from their opponents. To cooperate with the Su family is to seek skin with the tiger, and to cooperate with the Wade family is to completely offend the tiger of the Su family. In my opinion, we still should not put ourselves in such a dangerous situation!”
Speaking of this, Takehiko pondered for a moment and said seriously: “In this way, starting from today, the Ito family will terminate all cooperation with foreign families, and will not accept any invitation for cooperation. We have been working hard in the Japanese domestic market during this time. , Let’s try our best, dig deep holes, and accumulate food! When our strength is equal to or similar to that of Wade and Su, then consider cooperating with them!”
After hearing Takehiko’s words, Charlie looked at him with a little admiration.
It seems that Takehiko does have a good overall view, and he can control his inner greed, not to be greedy or aggressive.
If you change to a very ambitious and greedy family, then you will immediately start to play high and play both ways.
On the one hand, it completely suppresses other families in the country, strives to eat their share in a short time, and makes oneself a fat man;
On the one hand, we must cooperate with large overseas families as soon as possible to further open up profit channels and develop ourselves rapidly.
However, Takehiko Ito can clearly see the situation and the hidden dangers and hidden pitfalls.
There is no doubt that the Su family is indeed the Tiger Wolf family.
Such a family not only has no morals, but also has no basic humanity.
When cooperating with such a family, you must be on guard at all times, otherwise it is very likely that the opponent will be severely stabbed behind you.
And if you fall to the Su family’s competitors, it is equivalent to directly standing on the opposite side of the Su family, and the risk factor is even greater.
Instead of doing this, it is better to close the door and try to develop yourself.
Emi also understood her brother’s worries and vision, and said seriously: “Brother, you are right. I am too dull to see this level.”
Takehiko waved his hand: “Your thoughts are also normal. Starting a business is like a gamble. Either simply keep betting a little bit more, or you can have an unparalleled future; or after you reserve a certain amount of chips, learn to see and close.. ….”
Speaking of this, Takehiko sighed: “If it were before tonight, I might also be the same as you thought. I would take this opportunity to give him a big shot. However, I walked through the gate and lost both. After the legs, I finally know the preciousness of life and the meaning of being alive, and after knowing that I almost lost Nanako, I became more aware of this…”
“So, I want to be more cautious now, and being steady is more important than anything else.”
Emi nodded seriously.
At this time, Takehiko Ito glanced at Nanako, and said seriously: “Nanako, since you are now cured, from now on, stay in Tokyo with Odosan.”
Nanako hesitated slightly.
She likes the environment of Kyoto, and she is reluctant to leave Kyoto.
However, thinking of the special situation now that she can no longer follow her own preferences, she immediately said: “Okay Odosan, I will stay with you!”
Takehiko said: “Let you stay in Tokyo not only to allow you to accompany me, but also to let you get in touch with the family’s business and industry earlier and start preparing for succession.”
Nanako hurriedly said, “Odusan, I have no experience in running a business. Isn’t it too early?”
Takehiko nodded and said seriously: “It is indeed a little earlier, but now the situation is special, my legs are gone, and it will be more inconvenient to move in the future…”
Speaking of this, Takehiko sighed a little lonely: “Moreover, I am a disabled person, and I am not suitable for showing up on behalf of the family, which will affect the family image.”
“So, you must be ready to take my seat now. At the very least, you must first assume the external image of the Ito family. Later, on the outside, you will represent the Ito family.”
Emi also persuaded: “Yes, Nanako, you should stand up to the stage for your father now and let your father teach you and make suggestions for you.”
Nanako nodded gently and said, “Okay, I will definitely work hard!”
Takehiko and Emi were relieved to see Nanako’s promise so refreshing.
Takehiko Ito naturally has high hopes for his daughter, but Nanako was obsessed with martial arts before and did not have much interest in the operation and management of the family business.
At that time, Takehiko was still worrying about how to let his daughter gradually take care of him and focus on inheriting the family business.
He thought that he could carry his body for more than ten years, which would give Nanako a few more years of free time.
Unexpectedly, things changed so much all at once.
Although most of Japanese culture originated from China, it has more or less localized development.
In China, most entrepreneurs put their interests first and do not pay much attention to external image issues.
However, after the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the degree of westernization was relatively high, so Japanese entrepreneurs attached great importance to the external image of enterprises.
To give the simplest example, if you do a clerical job in a Japanese company, you will have a headache in summer.
Because most Japanese companies require their employees to wear formal attire during working hours, even in the middle of summer, they must wear a shirt, suit, and even a tie.
Therefore, Japanese entrepreneurs hold press conferences or attend public events, regardless of age, all in formal wear.
And the Japanese like to bow, because they are talking here, and then they suddenly stand up ninety degrees and take a bow, then sit down and continue talking.
Therefore, Takehiko’s current state is particularly unsuitable as a company’s external spokesperson.
Although Nanako is young, she has a very good image and is especially in line with the Japanese aesthetics. She is responsible for the outside world. For the Ito family, it is the best choice.
Charlie is also very optimistic about Nanako, and encourages her, “If Nanako takes over the Ito family, it has the potential to turn the Ito family into an Internet celebrity company. The media will definitely beat the beauty president’s personal settings. Setting up a successful establishment will enable the Ito family to achieve a multiplier effect in their careers.”
When Nanako heard Charlie’s words, she couldn’t help being a little embarrassed, and said with a blushing face: “Master Wade should stop making a joke about me. I don’t have the temperament of a beautiful president. It’s nothing more than catching ducks on the shelves. I have to do it.”
Charlie earnestly said: “Don’t be presumptuous. With your perfect image and temperament, you will definitely become a beauty entrepreneur crazily sought after by all of Japan in the future, and maybe you will become a business card of the Japanese business community overseas.”
Nanako was so complimented by Charlie, she was ashamed and happy, and because she was a young girl who had just started her love, she had no ability to hide her own ability in this kind of thing, so she could only lower her head deeper and deeper.
Takehiko immediately saw his daughter’s extraordinary. At this moment, he was already certain that his daughter had fallen in love with Charlie.
Observing for a moment, he strengthened his opinion.
At this moment, as a father, he felt a little melancholy in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved for his daughter’s emotional maturity.
So he opened his mouth and said: “Emi, Nanako, you two go out first, I want to talk with Mr. Charlie in private!”
Emi and Nanako didn’t think much about it. Seeing Takehiko was about to chat with Charlie in private, they got up to leave and left the ward.
After the two people left, Ito looked at Charlie and said seriously: “Mr. Charlie, what happened before was offensive, and I still have to apologize to you. Thank you for repaying your grievances with morality and saving the little girl. The Ito family, otherwise, if it really makes the Su family think that it was the Ito family who killed the Su family’s heirs, the Ito family is afraid that we would face annihilation?”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Ito is polite. I saved Nanako out of a friend’s relationship. As for indirectly helping the Ito family, you don’t have to be too polite to me. After all, I took your money. There is an old saying about taking money from others and helping others to eliminate disasters. I can’t take money without doing anything, right?”
Takehiko was stunned.
The reason why he was dumbfounded was also completely shocked by Charlie’s shamelessness.
Charlie’s words are very clear. Take people’s money and fight against people. This means that the 4.5 billion USD can’t be taken for nothing. You have to do something for the Ito family.
Therefore, he has helped the Ito family get rid of the disaster, and the money can be taken with ease.
Takehiko was shocked, more or less painful.
Although he did feel that his daughter’s life was more valuable than 4.5 billion USD, he would still feel distressed if he really threw 4.5 billion in.
However, he knew very well in his heart that if you lose the US$4.5 billion, you have lost. He has no other way to get the money back, or recover the loss to a certain extent, so there is no need to deal with this issue now.
Thinking of this, he smiled awkwardly and said to Charlie: “Mr. Charlie, your JX Pharmaceutical has a very strong momentum of development. After the annexation of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, I believe there must be a broader prospect. Don’t know if we can work together. How about a certain amount of cooperation on this?”
Charlie smiled and said: “Mr. Ito, there is actually nothing to cooperate in this matter. JX Pharmaceutical is the foundation of my life and I will not give up my share of it.”
Takehiko hurriedly said: “Mr. Charlie, I don’t want your share, but I really want to have a certain degree of in-depth cooperation with you. In the future, the Ito family will hand it over to Nanako. You and Nanako are friends, and I think It can be concluded that Nanako trusts you very much. You can try various forms of in-depth cooperation. This is good for you and us, and it is truly mutually beneficial.”
Charlie smiled slightly: “I will naturally consider this in the future. If the time is right, I will definitely not reject cooperation with Miss Nanako.”
“That’s good……”
Takehiko breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: “Mr. Charlie, I can see that Nanako likes you very much. If you two can have any possibility, then I’m so relieved…”
Charlie said immediately: “Mr. Ito, Ms. Nanako is still very young. Don’t talk about this kind of thing. If it spreads out and gets misunderstood, it will ruin Nanako’s reputation.”
Takehiko waved his hand: “My daughter has been raised for 22 years. No one in this world knows her better than me. I can see that she really likes you, and she likes you sincerely, if possible. , I also suggest that you stay in Japan for development. You have JX Pharmaceutical and Nanako has the Ito family. If you two can combine to become a husband and wife, you will definitely become the top existence in Asia and even the world.”
Charlie smiled and asked, “Mr. Ito should have investigated me? You should know that I am already married.”
“I know.” Takehiko Ito smiled slightly and said indifferently: “What about being married? You are married, doesn’t Nanako still like you? So, it’s good for me and for Nanako, We don’t care about your past and present. What we care about is your future!”
With that, Takehiko said very seriously: “Mr. Charlie, after today’s events, I have a very clear understanding of life. When people live, everything has meaning. Being rich means being rich, and being poor means being poor. If you die, no matter whether it is rich or poor, it will be nothing.”
“If it were before today, I would never let my daughter marry a foreign man, but at this moment, these are no longer important to me. What is important is how to make my daughter happy; The important thing is, how can my daughter have the best life!”
“Mr. Charlie has the ability, strength, and charm that a strong man should have. Nanako is cultivated, has a background, is strong external and internal, and she likes you so much. I believe you must have some feelings for Nanako in your heart, otherwise If you didn’t, you would never travel all the way to Japan and make a special trip to Kyoto to see her, save her life, heal her injuries, and even drive a few hundred kilometers in the middle of the night to take her to Tokyo to see me.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Mr. Ito, it is undeniable that Nanako is indeed a very good girl, but I still said that. I’m already married.”
Takehiko waved his hand and said: “Don’t always prevaricate me by this getting married fact. You can divorce if you are married. Even if you don’t leave, you can marry Nanako in Japan. As long as you don’t go back, there is no problem.”
Charlie shook his head and smiled: “Mr. Ito, I really appreciate some of the precious qualities of Miss Nanako, but what you said is still impossible.”
After a pause, Charlie said again: “And I will not stay in Japan, today, tomorrow at the latest, I will return to China.”
Takehiko smiled and said seriously: “Mr. Charlie, you have an old Chinese saying that good birds choose wood and live in them. I have investigated your background. Forgive me to be honest, your current wife is not worthy of you!”
Charlie looked at Takehiko noncommitantly, and asked with a smile: “Mr. Ito seems to have studied Chinese culture very much. Just now he could say words like ‘dug a hole deep and accumulate grain’, and now there is ‘good bird’. “Choose wood and live’, you seem to be a Chinese expert too!”
Ito said seriously: “When he was young, he admired Togo Heihachiro, who led the Japanese fleet to defeat the Russians in the Battle of Tsushima. I started to follow his footsteps, read Chinese history books, and learned a lot of Chinese culture and classical literature.”
Charlie nodded and said with a smile: “Mr. Ito is so studious, really admirable, but I still want to make it clear to you: I will not divorce my wife! So, just ask Mr. Ito not to Mention it again.”
Charlie said again: “Also, I am leaving Japan soon, so please don’t mention this to Nainako, so as not to have a negative impact on her.”
Takehiko looked at Charlie and said seriously: “Mr. Charlie, you Chinese pay attention to the cycle of fate, you see, before tonight, it was Nanako who was injured sitting in a wheelchair. The doctor also vowed to say that she might live a lifetime like that. Couldn’t stand up anymore, but now?”
As Takehiko said, he reached out and patted his amputated knee lightly, and laughed at himself: “Now, Nanako, who was declared by the doctor that it is impossible to stand up again, stands up again, but I lost my legs, so I said Ah, this life is a cycle!”
Charlie frowned and said: “Mr. Ito, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
Ito said with a smile: “I mean, even if you leave Japan today and swear that you will never come back again, when the wheel of fortune turns, it is likely to send you back here, even if you are unwilling. You can’t help it!”
“The same is true for your wife. Even if you think you will never divorce her, the wheel of fortune may one day separate you!”
“Everything in the world is confusing and perplexing. Mr. Charlie is still young and there are still decades to go in his life. Why should he speak so absolute now?”
The words of Takehiko made Charlie more or less surprised.
First of all, he did not expect that Takehiko would know so much about Chinese culture;
Secondly, he did not expect that Ito would mention the cycle of fate.
He doesn’t know whether the Japanese believe in Feng Shui or not, but now, the Japanese believe in fate at least.
These words of Takehiko Ito seem to be nonsense, but they also contain a bit of truth.
What he said was not a complete catch. After all, no one can say good about fate.
He thought of the hundred-year-old Fengshui master he met in Waderest Mountain in Eastcliff.
That master relied on the deduction of the cycle of fate that finally met himself in Waderest Mountain.
It was also that he personally broke the fate of Dragon Shoal so that he could fly into the sky.
That old gentleman must have a deeper understanding and perception of the fate cycle.
It is a pity that the Old Master is on the other side of the ocean and may not have the opportunity to meet again in the future.
Otherwise, he really wants to sit opposite him, sip tea, and have a long conversation.
However, at this moment, Charlie suddenly thought of what Takehiko said.
There is a cycle of fate, maybe in the future, He will meet the Feng Shi master again.
By the same token, if you leave Tokyo or Japan today, you may come back someday in the future.
Even if you don’t come back, you should have the opportunity to meet Nanako again at a certain time and in a certain place.
Thinking of this, Charlie sighed lightly and said to Takehiko Ito: “Mr. Ito, I think we should leave the future to the future. After all, neither you nor I can control our fate.”
Takehiko nodded and said earnestly: “Mr. Charlie, from today, the door of the Ito family will always be opened for you. In the future, the Ito family will replenish its energy and will not interact with any other overseas family or business. Cooperation, if one day, if you have enough ambitions and want to expand your horizons, the Ito family can cooperate with you unconditionally at any time!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Thank you Mr. Ito for your kindness, but I am a person with no ambitions, no schooling, no ambition and no ability, so let’s leave it.”
In Charlie’s view, although his attitude towards Takehiko had changed to a certain extent, it was not enough to let him put his guard down.
Therefore, Charlie didn’t want him to know his future plans.
In fact, in Charlie’s heart, he very much hopes to use JX Pharmaceutical to make the career snowball bigger and bigger.
Because if he wants to avenge his parents, it is useless to rely solely on his personal strength. Not only his personal strength must be strong, but his economic strength is even more important!
Otherwise, how could he be able to deal with a behemoth like the Su family alone?
Among other things, just from the Su family’s ability to cross the river with the Raptors, and directly kill all the local Japanese snakes and the Matsumoto family, it is enough to see how strong this family is.
This not only shows that the Su family has an astonishing number of top masters, but also shows that they are extremely mobile. Zhifei and Zhiyu have an accident in Japan, and they can immediately send a large number of masters. , And it’s not worse than the US military.
If there is not enough strength, no one can single out such a family based on individual ability.
Not to mention the combat power of dozens of hundreds of masters swarming, just the relatives and friends around, they are unable to protect.
Therefore, Charlie knew very well that if he wanted to truly compete face-to-face with a family like the Su family in the future, he must have a strong comprehensive strength and being brave is not enough.
What’s more, he hasn’t been able to determine how much responsibility the Wade family will bear for the death of his parents.
If the Wade family had a major responsibility that they could not shirk in the death of their parents, then he might face the two top families of the Su family and the Wade family in the future.
Therefore, Charlie has decided that after returning to Aurous Hill, he will keep a low profile and develop JX Pharmaceutical.
Starting from JX Pharmaceutical, step by step, he will form his own business empire.
Only in this way can he have the opportunity to sit face-to-face with the Su Family and the Wade Family, and even trample them under his feet!
Takehiko didn’t know Charlie’s true identity, let alone what Charlie was thinking. Seeing that he seemed to be really ambitious, he couldn’t help but persuade:
“Mr. Charlie, you have JX Pharmaceutical as your foundation and cash in your hand. Why don’t you spread your business?”
“Take the current ocean transportation as an example. The vast majority of international oil and bulk trade logistics rely on shipping. Now the international economic situation is declining, and this is a good opportunity for bargain-hunting!”
“Furthermore, your country is with the best economic development momentum at present, and it also has the most complete industrial system. Export trade is rising year by year. China’s demand for ocean transportation from all over the world will increase, and the prospects for ocean transportation will be even greater. For the vastness!”
“If Mr. Charlie is willing to do it, you can start from the Chinese mainland. If you need to expand to Japan’s port and shipping business, the Ito family will definitely cooperate with you. Even if it is your green leaf, I am willing!”
At this time, Takehiko had a very simple thought in his heart.
Four and a half billions will definitely not come back.
JX Pharmaceutical will definitely not sell shares.
In this case, it is better to find a way to attract Charlie step by step.
If Charlie can be recruited to Ito’s house as a son-in-law, what else should he worry about in the future?
Charlie has the strength and ability, and saved his daughter’s life. More importantly, his daughter loves him.
Before, he wanted his daughter to marry Ichiro. It wasn’t that he had to force his daughter to marry the Kobayashi family, but that his daughter at that time was simply a silly girl with powerless love.
She didn’t have anyone she liked at all, and he didn’t know if she would move that muscle.
Instead of this, he might as well choose the most suitable one for her.
However, she obviously already has her favorite object now. As a father, he certainly hopes that his daughter will get what she wants.
Besides, he also felt that a man like Charlie was indeed a good choice to be a son-in-law.
For the happiness of his daughter, he is even willing to let the entire Ito family become his daughter’s dowry.
Anyway, he has this one daughter, everything is for his daughter to be happy and happy all her life.
As for the assets of the Ito family, it doesn’t matter whether the surname is Ito, Yamada, Watanabe, or even Wade.
Because these assets will still be in the hands of his daughters, son-in-law, and the offspring born to them.
In Ito’s view, the real inheritance is blood, not surname.
Charlie only smiled at Takehiko’s suggestion, and said seriously: “It’s true that my current development focus is to do a good job of JX Pharmaceutical. If JX Pharmaceutical can develop, then I will consider other businesses.”
Seeing that Charlie declined his proposal temporarily, Ito sighed regretfully.
He really hoped that Charlie would be able to set up the stall of ocean shipping.
Because at this stage, the bulk of Asian ocean shipping is in China.
More than half of the top ten busiest ports in the world are in China. Only with such a huge import and export trade can the huge ocean shipping industry be supported.
This is beyond the reach of Japan.
Therefore, even if the Ito family wants to do it themselves, there is not enough market and demand support in the local area, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
So he said to Charlie: “Mr. Charlie, the Ito family will gradually hand over to Nanako for operation and management. If you change your mind, you can contact her at any time. I believe you will be able to establish a very good foundation for cooperation.”
Charlie nodded lightly and said seriously: “If I have this idea, I will definitely contact Miss Nanako.”
Takehiko smiled and said: “Nanako is a good girl. I dare say that in terms of overall conditions, in Japan you may not be able to find a better girl than her. Whoever marries her is to marry the best Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko. Will become the envy of men all over the world.”
Charlie smiled kindly, but did not answer.
Knowing that freezing three feet is not a day’s cold, Ito said: “Mr. Charlie, you and the little girl are tired and have no rest at night, so I will send you to the house to take a rest first.”
Charlie waved his hand: “No need Mr. Ito, I have something to do, I have to hurry back to Osaka, so I won’t bother you too much.”
“That’s how it works.” Takehiko seriously said: “Mr. Charlie, you drove over overnight. You have not rested or even eaten any food. If you just leave, then the hospitality that my Ito family ancestors upheld, Wouldn’t it be reduced to a laughing stock.”
As he said, he didn’t wait for Charlie to refuse, and hurriedly pressed the pager on the bedside, and said: “Let Emi and Nanako come in.”
After a while, Nanako and Emi knocked gently on the door and entered the ward.
Nanako asked softly, “Odosan, what’s your order?”
Takehiko Ito said to Emi: “Emi, Mr. Charlie and Nanako have worked very hard all night. You arrange for someone to send them back to the house to rest. Remember to call ahead and let the chef prepare the best dishes!”
Emi hurriedly said, “OK brother!”
Charlie said sincerely: “Mr. Ito, really don’t bother, I will just drive back to Osaka directly.”
Takehiko said very solemnly: “Mr. Charlie, even if you want to go back to Osaka, you should at least sit down at the house for a while, eat a meal, have a cup of tea, and then leave!”
Nanako also persuaded from the side: “Yeah, Master Wade, the mansion is not far from here, you can eat something, take a rest and set off again, it’s not light yet!”
In the middle of the night, the two arrived in Tokyo by car for travelling more than three hours, and it was only four o’clock in the morning.
And it’s winter again now, and it’s already late, and it will take at least two hours before dawn.
Seeing that both father and daughter were so polite, Charlie had to agree, and said, “If this is the case, then I’m better off being respectful.”
Upon hearing this, Emi hurriedly said, “Then I will arrange the convoy. Now there are a lot of people from the TMPD. They will be escorted and protected all the way. Safety is definitely guaranteed.”
Takehiko nodded and exhorted: “You must be a good host to entertain Mr. Charlie.”
……
Emi quickly arranged a team to accompany them, and Charlie still drove the car he came in.
Nanako also got into Charlie’s car without hesitation.
Afterwards, Charlie drove the car and, under the leadership of the convoy, went to the residence of the Ito family.
Although Tokyo is one of the most expensive cities in the world, the Ito family also owns a private manor in a quiet place.
The entire manor is designed with Japanese-style ancient buildings, which is very simple, but it reveals low-key luxury everywhere.
Charlie found that even the wood used to build the house was extraordinary.
It seems that the top big families have no place to spend more money, so when building and decorating, they are completely trying to spill money everywhere. If you can use high-end ones, you definitely don’t need ordinary ones, you can use imported ones. Never use local ones.
In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, only choose the expensive, not the right one.
Because Emi called in advance, the servants of the entire Ito residence were all neatly dressed, waiting respectfully at the entrance of the residence, in the courtyard and inside the villa.
Charlie parked the car and, led by Nanako, walked through the beautiful courtyard and walked all the way to the door of the villa. All the servants along the way bowed 90 degrees, with a very humble attitude.
The villa of the Ito family in Tokyo is a huge multi-storey wooden building. The whole building looks like a huge ancient temple, and the internal space is surprisingly large.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Nanako suddenly leaned down and knelt on the ground, holding both hands empty, and said to Charlie: “Master, please let me change slippers for you!”
Charlie was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand: “No need, no, give me slippers, I’ll just do it myself.”
Nanako insisted, “I should help Master to change it. This is a Japanese tradition, and Master should just go to the countryside and do as the customs.”
Charlie thought to himself, China has long been equal between men and women, why in Japan, women still kneel and change shoes for men?
But then thinking about it, since it is a custom of others, they may not feel that there is anything wrong with this. If they insist on opposing it, they will break the other party’s rules.
So he had to lift his feet up and said sincerely: “Then work hard, Miss Nanako.”
Nanako, who was still wearing a kimono, looked up at Charlie, and smiled ashamed. She was so beautiful.
Afterwards, she gently held Charlie’s feet with both hands, and gently changed him a pair of slippers, then slowly stood up and said: “Master, please!”
Charlie nodded slightly and walked in with her.
Nanako introduced to him: “This house has a history of more than a hundred years. It was severely damaged during the Great Kanto Earthquake. Because the repair cost was too high, no one paid attention to it. Later, it was taken by the father. He bought it and spent huge sums of money to repair it, and it looks like this now.”
Charlie asked curiously: “Mr. Ito seems to have a soft spot for this old house? The house in Kyoto looks much older than this one.”
Nanako smiled softly: “In fact, it’s mainly because I like this style of architecture. After I moved from Kyoto to Tokyo at the age of fourteen, I have not been accustomed to life in Tokyo, so my father bought it here and spent a lot of money to repair it and it became what it is now.”
With that, Nanako said with emotion: “But I still like Kyoto more.”
Charlie nodded and said, “This mansion is quiet in the noisy city, and it has an ancient flavor and charm. It is already very good, but the Kyoto one is indeed better.”
Nanako said in a sad tone: “My father asked me to take over the family affairs. It seems that I will rarely have the opportunity to go back in the future…”
After finishing speaking, she looked up at Charlie, and asked a little pleading: “Master, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?”
