Chapter 911: Small Game(1/2)
The sunset has disappeared and night is coming.
The wind on the coast also became stronger as a result, and the fog could be clearly seen in the breath of the two people.
Just as Ning Weimin was about to take off his coat and put it on Matsumoto Keiko to show his thoughtfulness, the BP machine in Matsumoto Keiko's pocket suddenly vibrated.
Although the silent setting has been turned on, this vibration ruined the atmosphere like a piercing alarm and broke the quiet world of the two.
The interaction between the two stopped suddenly. Matsumoto Keiko opened her purse and took out the BP machine to look at it.
Under the fluorescent light, Ning Weimin noticed something abnormal about her.
It seemed that after just one glance, he frowned and looked very unhappy.
And then he grabbed the BP machine tightly, looking uneasy.
The call came at an untimely time and was a big nuisance. Ning Weimin, who was good at observing words and emotions, easily caught this detail.
After all, he makes his living by guessing people's hearts.
Matsumoto Keiko's expression and behavior clearly showed that something bad had happened that made her unhappy.
I just don’t know, is it a problem at work or a trouble in life?
"Do you need a call back?"
"Yeah." Keiko Matsumoto's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Then let's leave. I just saw that there seems to be a public phone in the parking lot..."
Keiko Matsumoto nodded silently and didn't answer at all this time.
In the parking lot, I found the public phone I needed.
But after Keiko Matsumoto got through, she only spoke for a few minutes before hanging up.
When she turned around, her eyes met with Ning Weimin's, who was waiting in the distance.
The emotion she expressed at this time was a touch of sadness and helplessness.
"It was my mother who came to me crying. My father refused my funding a few days ago and returned the money to me. But his business still has no way to finance. In the past few days, even the bank has refused his request to extend the loan.
Now the situation of the company is getting worse and worse. My mother is very worried that my father will go bankrupt, and even the house will be taken away by the bank to pay off the debt. She tried to persuade her father again today, but he was scolded instead. I really don’t want to
Know what to do. My relationship with my father is very bad. It has been like this since I was a child, and since I refused to listen to him and insisted on entering the entertainment industry, he simply stopped talking to me..."
After Matsumoto Keiko approached, he took the initiative to explain to Ning Weimin, although Ning Weimin did not ask.
This is the first time Matsumoto Keiko has actively mentioned her family situation to Ning Weimin, which is obviously an expression of trust.
But then again, it is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs.
Although Ning Weimin did not want to betray Matsumoto Keiko's trust, he did not really understand her family situation.
Rushing to give advice and advice on such a father-daughter relationship may not necessarily please you.
Even straightforward evaluations are difficult to express easily.
Otherwise, if you accidentally touch the other party's pain points, it will easily give the other party a bad impression of being reckless and overbearing.
The above thoughts were just fleeting thoughts in Ning Weimin's mind, so he could only be tactful and make insinuations.
"Old people are very stubborn. My unrelated relative in my family is also a stubborn old man. When he gets sick, he always feels that it is not serious and puts it off. He is reluctant to go to the hospital. Just because he is not a retired employee.
He cannot enjoy public medical care, so the old man is afraid of spending money. No matter if I coax or beg, he will not agree. Do you know what I did next? I first went to the hospital and paid him all the money, and told him not to go to the hospital.
He also didn’t refund the money. He just went for it after such a half-hearted offer. Even if he blames me afterwards, it doesn’t matter, as long as his illness is not delayed.”
"you mean……"
I have to say that the euphemism of the Japanese and the euphemism of us Chinese are a little on the same page.
So Matsumoto Keiko seems to understand some, but not all.
But seeing that she hadn't turned around yet, her eyes were filled with a desire for help.
Ning Weimin's heart softened and he couldn't beat around the bush anymore, so he had to point it out directly.
"What I mean is, if I were you, I wouldn't negotiate with your father face to face, nor would I try to persuade him. Instead, I would turn around and go to those creditors and spend money to solve the problem for him. If I could hide it from you,
As for your father, just keep it secret for now. This is better than giving him the money directly. It will not only help him get out of trouble in time, but also avoid quarrels and entanglements between the two of you. Do you know? When a person is in such a difficult situation,
If you suddenly find that all the problems have been solved, it is equivalent to an uncivilized person who accidentally finds money that he forgot to put in a pocket one day, or finds a few 10,000-yen bills in the middle of his clothes.
So happy."
After saying this, I was afraid that Matsumoto Keiko would worry about the vice president.
Ning Weimin then added, "Even if your father finds out about this in the future, it won't matter. Even if he loses his temper, it's better than the problem not being solved, right? Besides, people all have feelings. Even if he can't let go of the man
To save face, he said he was unhappy. But as time went by, he felt relieved when he thought that his daughter had helped him. What’s more, looking at it from the other side, it can also be said that it was precisely because he valued his daughter more than money that he was so stubborn.
Right? By the way, I remember it was revealed in the newspaper that Yamaguchi Momoe’s father always asked her for money, and that man was a greedy scoundrel. In comparison, it’s okay to have such a father who doesn’t love money.
For Miss Keiko, it is undoubtedly an honorable thing. Isn’t a father like this worthy of respect?"
It was these words that completely convinced Matsumoto Keiko.
The more she thought about it, her mood improved a lot and she couldn't help but nod in thanks.
"Thank you so much. I really didn't expect that you gave me such a good idea. You are really amazing. You solved my difficult problem so easily and you are so good at understanding people. Unknowingly, I became cheerful.
You're up..."
"Don't say that. It would be great if I could help you. In fact, I only kept calm as a bystander. And you were too anxious because it was a trouble that a relative encountered, so you didn't think of it for a moment. That's all
Just like the most skilled doctors cannot operate on their own relatives..."
"Hey? Is there any other way to say this?"
"Yes, in China and in the capital, everyone knows the saying 'medicine is not autonomous'."
"Isn't medicine...autonomous?"
Keiko Matsumoto learned a sentence and then sighed.
"It is indeed a big country and an ancient capital. The Chinese people are really smart."
But it wasn't over yet. Just when Ning Weimin was a little ashamed of her slightly exaggerated praise, she actually said, "To thank you, I want to buy you another gift."
"ah?"
Ning Weimin was stunned for a moment, then immediately declined.
"No, no, you're too polite."
"That's not okay. I have to give you a gift. What you said is too important to me. Let me think about it, what should I give you?"
"No, no... don't buy anything, because I haven't done anything. Besides, aren't we friends? If you do this, I will be deeply ashamed."
"Then... if it's not to thank you, but just for Christmas, is it okay? You always have to give gifts at Christmas..."
Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh at Matsumoto Keiko's excuse.
"There's really no need. I'm Chinese and I don't believe in religion. I'm not a child anymore, but it's just Christmas."
"Then... Isn't it okay if I don't give you an expensive gift? For example, are there any celebrities you want to meet? Yamaguchi Momoe, Kurihara Komaki, Baisho Chieko? Takakura Ken, Atsumi Kiyoshi? They seem to be very famous in China.
Don’t you want to meet? Also, are you interested in photography studios, production companies and TV stations? Do you want to visit? If you are willing, I can arrange it for you..."
Keiko Matsumoto refused to give up and came up with another alternative.
But even though she said it was easy, Ning Weimin understood that it was impossible for this kind of arrangement not to be owed a favor.
So even though I was a little curious, I still shook my head decisively.
"Miss Qingzi, I understand everything about you. But to me, who among the other actors can compare to you? No matter if they are male or female, I have no desire to meet..."
However, at this point, seeing Matsumoto Keiko looking disappointed again, Ning Weimin suddenly had a sudden inspiration.
He cleared his throat and decided to take one more step forward.
"But if you... really want to give me something, can I make a request myself?"
Matsumoto Keiko immediately became curious.
"Okay? What do you want?"
"Give me some of your bravery..."
"What?"
"I admire Miss Qingzi for always persevering in herself in the face of adversity. So can you give me some of your bravery..."
"Ah? Brave? How to send it?"
"Bravery can be passed on, do you just say you are willing or not?"
"You...really want to..."
Ning Weimin's words sounded ridiculous to Matsumoto Keiko's ears.
Despite his explanation, Matsumoto Keiko still thought it was nonsense.
But the problem is that in an environment that has not yet completely transformed into night, Keiko Matsumoto can still see Ning Weimin's face at close range.
