Seeing Ye Chen coming, Qin Gang stood up first and said respectfully: "Master Ye, you are here! We are talking about you!"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "I heard it, didn't you say you wanted to have a few more drinks with me later?"
Qin Gang smiled hurriedly and said, "I do want to have a few more drinks with you, but I definitely don't mean to force you to drink."
Ye Chen smiled, and then said to Mr. Song: "How is Mr. Song's health recently?"
Mr. Song nodded repeatedly and said respectfully: "Master Ye, thanks to you, I am in very good health."
Ye Chen nodded. At this time, Takehiko Ito waved to Ye Chen and said with the same respect: "Hello, Mr. Ye, we meet again!"
Ye Chen had already guessed that Takehiko Ito must be here, but naturally he still had to pretend to be very surprised and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Ito. I didn't expect you to be here too."
After saying that, Ye Chen looked at Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka next to him, and said with a smile: "Ms. Ito, Mr. Tanaka are also here."
Ito Emi stood up hurriedly, bowed ninety degrees and said: "Hello, Mr. Ye!"
Tanaka Koichi lost his lower limbs and could only clasp his hands on the spot and say: "Hello, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and Nanako Ito, who was chatting with Wanting Song not far away, said with a blushing face: "Mr. Ye Chen, you are fine!"
Ye Chen looked at Nanako Ito and saw that she was still as soft and graceful as water. He smiled and said: "Nanako, I have heard from Wanting that you were coming to Jinling to watch the concert, but I didn't expect to arrive so early."
Ito Nanako said shyly: "Ye Chen-kun, I haven't been so busy recently, so I wanted to take this opportunity to come to Jinling to relax and have a rest."
Ye Chen nodded and asked her with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me in advance before coming?"
Ito Nanako pursed her lips and whispered: "I...I...I wanted to give Ye Chenjun a little surprise, so I didn't say anything, and asked Ye Chenjun not to be angry...
"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "How could it be possible? But next time you can consider telling me in advance, and then I will prepare the feast for you."
Ito Nanako said hurriedly: "Okay Ye Chen-kun, I will tell you in advance next time!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and Song Wanting beside him said with a smile: "Master Ye, do you think we should sit down now?"
"Okay." Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for me for so long. The journey is a bit long, and I just happened to see my father-in-law off."
Mr. Song stood up at this time and said with a smile: "Master Ye, you are out of town. We have just chatted for a few words. Come on, please take a seat first!"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Old sir, you are the master, so of course you have to take a seat first."
Mr. Song still wanted to shirk, but Ye Chen insisted: "Come, you sit on the main seat, and I will sit next to you."
Seeing this, Mr. Song did not refuse and said quickly: "Then I will follow Master Ye's instructions!"
At this time, Qin Aoxue, who had just splashed cold water on her face, also came out of the bathroom. Seeing Ye Chen coming, she immediately ran forward excitedly and said excitedly: "Master Ye, you are here!"
Ye Chen looked at her, nodded and smiled: "Aoxue is here too."
"Yes." Qin Aoxue said happily: "Nanako gave me an Akita dog and asked me to come and get it."
As she spoke, she was busy and said: "Master Ye, do you want to tease it?"
Qin Gang on the side blurted out and scolded: "Aoxue! Didn't you see that everyone is going to the table to eat? You just know how to mess around, so hurry up and sit down next to me."
Qin Aoxue curled her lips in aggrieved tone and said angrily: "I know, Dad..."
Ye Chen smiled at this time and said: "Let the housekeeper take care of the dog first, and then play with it after eating."
Mr. Song quickly ordered the housekeeper to take the dog out first.
Everyone immediately took their seats one by one.
On Ye Chen's left hand is Mr. Song, and on his right is Takehiko Ito.
As for Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka, they were originally unwilling to serve at the table, but Ye Chen still kept them.
The relationship between master and servant in Japanese society is very clear. Sometimes the title of a senior can kill someone, but China is relatively less rigid, and Ye Chen is not the kind of person who cares about these details, so he just invites them together.
Sat down.
Emi Ito and Koichi Tanaka were naturally flattered.
After everyone was seated, Mr. Song asked people to pour wine for everyone. The wine this time was still the national liquor Moutai. In the upper class, this is the most popular brand and the only choice for entertaining foreign guests and envoys at state banquets.
Moreover, the Moutai collected by Mr. Song are almost all treasures that cannot be bought with money on the market. Just pick out a bottle and it will have a history of at least twenty years.
After the servant poured the liquor for everyone, Takehiko Ito couldn't help but pick up a glass, smell it under his nose, and sighed: "It is indeed China's national liquor! The fragrance alone is intoxicating enough."
Mr. Song asked curiously: "Oh? Mr. Ito has also done research on Chinese liquor?"
Takehiko Ito nodded and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, in Japan, ordinary people love beer and sake, while young people love whiskey and red wine. Some older upper-class people and members of established families,
My favorite is actually Chinese liquor."
As he spoke, he sighed: "After all, a lot of Japanese culture originated from China, and the same goes for wine culture."
"The old families in Japan will require their children to learn Chinese culture from an early age, so from the records in history books, we have learned about the ancient Chinese saying that 'the only good wine in the world is Du Kang'."
"Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka Kakuei also expressed this sentiment when he visited China decades ago."
"We were studying Tang poetry and Song lyrics. In order to find the uninhibited feeling of ancient Chinese poets, we even went to find Chinese liquor and drank several glasses of it. The hearty feeling was really nostalgic...
"
Mr. Song nodded and smiled and said: "That's just right. Take advantage of today's opportunity to drink a few more drinks! If you like it, when you return to Japan, I will have someone prepare a batch for you to take back!"
Takehiko Ito cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song! If Mr. Song has time, you are welcome to come to Japan for a few days, and I will definitely entertain you all the way!"
Mr. Song smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely come over and bother you if you have the chance!"
After that, he looked at Ye Chen and said respectfully: "Master Ye, how about you give an opening speech, and let's raise a toast together."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "You are the head of the family. If I were to make the opening remarks, wouldn't it be that I overshadow the guest?"
Mr. Song said firmly: "You are the great benefactor of the Song family. You are here, this is your home court, and everyone here is indebted to your care and favor. It is absolutely appropriate for you to give the opening speech."
It’s over!”
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!"
After that, he stood up, held the wine glass, and said seriously: "First of all, welcome Mr. Ito and his family to Jinling. I don't have a good impression of most Japanese companies and entrepreneurs, but Mr. Ito still impresses me very much."
"So, I also hope that Mr. Ito can cooperate more with the Song family, the Qin family, and Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical in the future!"
"We strive to achieve resource interoperability, resource exchange, and resource symbiosis. Let's look for more opportunities and incubate more projects together."
