"Is it one?"

Kamiya Tadaki just took a look at Sato Yoko's refreshing attire and appearance, and while asking respectfully, the palm of his hand placed on the side of the bar gave Lee Hyun-cheol a thumbs-up without leaving any trace.

As a chef and running a restaurant for such a long time, Tadaya Kamiya has seen all kinds of beauties.

There are hot girls from New York who are passionate and unrestrained, and there are also traditional and conservative Asian international students.

Although she was amazed by Yoko Sato's beauty, those men knew her thoughts and did not dare to express them directly on her face.

Those who enter the store are his customers, and he understands this truth.

"Ah no...I'm here to keep an appointment."

Hearing the authentic Kanto dialect from the store manager's accent, Sato Yoko was stunned for a moment, and her nervous expression relaxed a little.

However, when his eyes were attracted by Li Xianzhe, who was sitting in front of the bar and sipping a cup of tea, he began to freeze.

Before coming here, Yoko Sato specifically searched for information about this store on her mobile phone and learned that the store manager was from Tokyo and that there was a limit to the number of customers the store could entertain every day.

Li Xianzhe said on the phone that if he chose to meet in such a place, he would not have to worry about being photographed by the paparazzi here.

Although AKB48 is a well-known idol group in RB, here in the United States, they are completely unqualified to attract the attention and reports of the well-known American media.

So it doesn't matter even if I bring the AKB members here in person.

However, after hanging up the phone, Yoko Sato gave up this idea after just thinking about it for a moment.

The reason is that the information she knows about this person's existence is really limited.

This cautiousness completely turned into curiosity after hearing Li Xianzhe's very calm voice through the microphone, but could not hide his age.

From just a brief conversation on the phone, Yoko Sato learned a surprising fact that even Toru Ogi and Yasushi Akimoto didn't know.

The boss is a young man, very young.

In the past, when he had conversations with Toru Ogi and Yasushi Akimoto through emails or faceless video conferences, he did not show any naivety and immaturity unique to teenagers, and she had the experience of listening in several times.

Li Xianzhe, whose only voice appears in the video, has used voice modification software in advance to make it difficult to tell his age, and his speaking tone is always soft and slow.

So when she entered the store and greeted the store manager and saw Li Xianzhe, Sato Yoko's first reaction was to calm down and cautiously step forward to greet her in Japanese.

"Hello, may I ask..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Xianzhe put down the small porcelain cup and looked up at the clock.

"It's a few minutes later than the agreed time. Being late is not a good behavior, Sato-san."

Sometimes, many things don’t necessarily have to be said personally.

When people face some unexpected situations, their body's reaction and perception will tell them what they are about to face.

As soon as Li Xianzhe opened his mouth, Sato Yoko immediately changed into a very respectful posture.

"Old...boss?"

For no reason, she thought someone who didn't know her could call her name.

"I'm very sorry. There was a traffic jam on the way here. I got off the car at a nearby place and ran here."

"Yeah?"

Li Xianzhe took a brief look at the snow-white jade feet on Sato Yoko's high-heeled sandals, and immediately became convinced.

Probably because of running before, the sides of the soles of the feet were faintly red.

Running in high heels is extremely harmful to the body, especially the bones of the feet.

Some women wear these shoes for exercise or ordinary walking for a long time, which can lead to toe deformation.

"Queens is a prosperous area in the United States. Traffic jams occur during this time every day. You can just run here. Thank you for your hard work."

In fact, he didn't even think about blaming Sato Yoko, and he didn't object to waiting for others.

If he hadn't been so busy today, maybe he would have arrived here earlier.

The character developed over many years makes Li Xianzhe need some time to adjust his mentality before meeting anyone, especially before discussing very important matters, so as to keep his emotions in the most stable stage as possible.

"It won't happen next time, I promise."

Carefully looking at Li Xianzhe's calm face, Sato Yoko breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"Okay, this is not a workplace. In the United States, you should do everything in American style."

Li Xianzhe smiled. He knew that since it was their first meeting, Sato Yoko would always have some respect for him.

This kind of respect is accompanied by a cautious attitude, which is difficult to eliminate in a short time.

However, it would be impossible to just sit down and chat with him like an old friend for a few words, and then put our arms around each other.

Thinking of this, Li Xianzhe stood up directly, "As for the topic we want to talk about, it would be more appropriate to go to the box."

"Hey~~Sorry to trouble you."

Sato Yoko still answered respectfully. After a brief face-to-face conversation, she could tell that no matter what time, the boss in front of her spoke in a neither fast nor slow tone.

And there is no ups and downs at all. Even among the members of AKB who can be regarded as human beings, none of them speak like him.

While following Li Xianzhe to the private room, Sato Yoko had been secretly looking at Li Xianzhe's back.

Age, height, body shape, appearance...

It can be said that everything exceeded his expectations. For a moment, she even thought that this was the heir of a chaebol family who came out to play in the world.

Generally, boys at this age dress themselves up to look cool, or indulge in games and love.

There are very few people who can make a big career on their own, and it is even rarer to see examples of people who can achieve achievements that cannot be ignored in the entertainment industry.

"Are you still used to coming to the United States?"

The private room ordered by Li Xianzhe is at the corner of the store, surrounded by special wooden boards.

Except for the sliding door for entry and exit, there is no gap through which people can peek into the interior, which greatly ensures the privacy of the guests.

"Everything is fine."

Yoko Sato replied.

They stayed at the Hilton Hotel, and even if it was a standard suite, the scale and environment inside were not comparable to those of ordinary hotels in Tokyo in the past.

Moreover, the two of them shared a room, and for dinner they enjoyed a high-end steak party specially prepared by the hotel. For the AKB members who always like to eat meat, this was definitely the most enjoyable time for them to eat and stay since their debut.

Many people said a bunch of words of thanks to the company and Teacher Akimoto while eating.
