Chapter 537

"The Gao Qiao family is relatively powerful, and the Nakamura family can barely be considered the Gao Qiao family's vassals, but the Gao Qiao family has been going downhill all these years, let alone the Nakamura family..."

Li Ye chatted with Old Song for a while, and Junko knocked on the door outside.

"Sir, your friend is looking for you downstairs."

Li Ye knew it was his bodyguard who came in, so he said to Old Song: "I have to go. You are alone here, so pay attention to safety. If it really doesn't work, go back. I guess the Nakamura family will soon be unable to take care of the things in Beijing."

Originally, Old Song hid in Japan to "hide under the lamp" because of the disappearance of Nakamura Naoto, but looking at him now, he felt that the old guy was a bit "happy and forgetting home."

It was as if the environment on the mainland limited the performance of people like Old Song, while in Japan, this capitalist society, he could be like a fish in water.

"Zhuangyuan Lang finally came once, how can you leave so quickly? No, no, you have to eat before you leave."

Old Song pulled Li Ye and wouldn't let him leave, greeting Junko to come over to help him change clothes, insisting on entertaining Li Ye well.

Li Ye watched Junko go to the changing room with Old Song, not knowing whether the two of them were good or bad.

Japanese women are indeed gentle at home, but they know very well what they need. If a man goes bankrupt, the woman will immediately carry the child and leave, and will never look at that failed man again.

So, rather than saying Japanese women are gentle to their husbands, it's better to say they are gentle to their "meal tickets."

Li Ye went downstairs first, wandered around the shop on the first floor, and looked at the various objects in the counter.

He knew Old Song's habits; the best things wouldn't be displayed in the counter for sale, so he just looked around casually.

But when he saw a gold bracelet, Li Ye was stunned.

Because this bracelet was very familiar.

The day before yesterday, Li Ye saw a gold bracelet on Chu Yunling's hand on the bus that was exactly the same as this one.

Old Song happened to walk down and said with a smile: "Zhuangyuan Lang likes this bracelet? If you like it, I'll wrap it up for you."

Li Ye frowned slightly: "Where did you get this bracelet? You didn't pick it up by hand when you went to the film festival site yesterday, did you?"

Old Song smiled: "Still can't hide it from you. I collected this from the female comrade in your delegation yesterday."

Li Ye asked strangely: "How did she know you were in the antique business?"

Old Song pointed his chin outside the shop: "See that Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant over there? There is a chef in it who is a fellow townsman of that female comrade. He helped bridge the line,"

"I happened to be going to Tokyo, so I collected it by the way. Because it was a fellow townsman, I gave a fair price, 500,000 yen."

Li Ye had an impression when he came in; there was indeed a Sichuan-Chongqing restaurant diagonally across from the Great Tang Cultural Society, but a chef being able to bridge a line with Chu Yunling was very interesting.

"Why didn't that chef collect it himself and then sell it to you to make a small profit?"

Old Song explained while taking Li Ye out: "That chef came last year and is still a black household. He doesn't dare to go to Tokyo usually,"

"And that female comrade is very capable, only recognizing money and not people. I tried to build a relationship with her, but she cried poor to me. She's a tough character. That chef doesn't have capital in his hands, so it's better to bridge the line and earn an introduction fee."

"Heh, capable."

Li Ye truly admired Chu Yunling.

Being able to let go of her face, being able to let go of everything, daring to knock on a man's door in the middle of the night, daring to bring cultural relics through customs, if she could build a relationship with those people in the delegation, letting everyone bring an electrical appliance back for her, or simply bringing yen back to exchange on the black market, she could earn another sum.

It was just that she had no bottom line between men and women; otherwise, Li Ye would have wanted to absorb her into his startup team.

Li Ye originally thought Old Song would take him to eat Chinese food; after all, there were at least two hundred restaurants in Yokohama Chinatown, and some of them were quite authentic.

But Old Song insisted on taking Li Ye to eat hot springs and *kaiseki* cuisine.

"I never act like a master in my own people's shops. I just like enjoying the kneeling service here. This feeling... is more comfortable than when I frequented brothels in the provincial capital back then..."

Old Song took a banknote and waved it at the waiter waiting not far away. The waiter ran over with small steps and chattered in Japanese.

Originally, Li Ye thought Old Song knew a little Japanese and could answer fluently after being in Japan for more than half a year.

As a result, this old guy insisted not to, just like those old-school Japanese men, just a "Oi," and then made a gesture that Li Ye couldn't understand,

The waiter's two eyeballs turned around a few times, and then began various services, all guessing Old Song's meaning, and guessing very accurately.

What kind of translator is needed? Isn't a banknote a translator?

Old Song sighed: "If it's about the ability to serve people, Japanese people say they are number one, and no one dares to say number two. Over there... hi, it's a new society, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it."

"Heh"

Li Ye smiled. If it's about personal entertainment, even he, who had seen business KTVs in his previous life, couldn't compare to this guy!

Li Ye had a very comfortable day and didn't return to the hotel until it was almost dark.

Just as he walked to the door of the room, the door of 8006 next door opened.

Mother Hearing Fu Guiru looked calm and pointed her chin, signaling Li Ye to "come in and chat" with a look that didn't allow refusal.

After entering Hearing Fu Guiru's room 8006, Li Ye found that Fu Yiruo and Watching Wen Leyu were also there.

"Bang"

Li Ye entered the room, Hearing Fu Guiru closed the door, and then asked reproachfully: "Where did you go to wander all day? You only came back at this time?"

"It's not late!" Li Ye said righteously: "It's not even eight o'clock. Even a married man is a good man if he comes back at eight o'clock, let alone me..."

"Stop your glib tongue," Hearing Fu Guiru interrupted impatiently, then asked: "Tell me, did you go to play pinball?"

"Pinball? Are there pinball machines now?"

Li Ye was stunned, remembered something, and then shook his head: "No, didn't go to play games. I'll go take a look tomorrow."

"I'll let you go take a look tomorrow!"

Hearing Fu Guiru slapped Li Ye on the forehead not too lightly or too heavily, and then asked decisively: "Tell me, where else did you go?"

Li Ye said with a grievance: "You can just go ask those two bodyguards. I only went out for one day..."

"You only went out for one day. How many days have you been in Japan in total? How many times have you traveled since you met Little Yu? You have a girlfriend and don't accompany her, but go out to wander by yourself for what?"

Hearing Fu Guiru questioned him in a burst, her eyes winking at Li Ye.

Li Ye finally understood that his mother wasn't supporting her daughter-in-law, but covering for her son!

There are so many interesting places in Japan; what is pinball? Just don't go anywhere else.

Sister Fu Yiruo also came to help: "Brother, we went to soak in the hot springs with Mom today. Sister Little Yu didn't even eat lunch, and only ate a little bit at night. You don't care about your girlfriend, but run out to play by yourself..."

Li Ye looked at Watching Wen Leyu in surprise, just in time to see Watching Wen Leyu blushing and glaring at sister Fu Yiruo.

The sister was indeed a biological sister, seemingly complaining about Li Ye, but actually explaining the situation to him: you left your sister-in-law alone for a day, and she was so angry she didn't eat all day; you should figure out how to coax her yourself!

"You went to soak in the hot springs? Why didn't you say so earlier? And didn't bring me..."

Li Ye smoothly changed the subject, regretting why the family of four left him alone.

Hearing Fu Guiru was so angry she almost laughed; what kind of face does this son of hers have, actually turning the tables?

However, what Li Ye did next made Hearing Fu Guiru, Fu Yiruo, and Watching Wen Leyu ashamed.

Li Ye took off his backpack from his shoulder and took out a pear wood jewelry box 30 cm long and 50 cm wide.

Opening the box, it was divided into eight small grids, and in each grid, there was a piece of women's jewelry.

Jade bracelets, pearl necklaces, gemstone earrings, jade pendants... every piece was a good thing.

Old Song was a ghost-smart person; seeing Watching Wen Leyu personally put on and take off armor for Li Ye yesterday, how could he not know how to win Li Ye's "favor"? Today, he let Junko prepare the things and stuffed them into Li Ye's bag when he left.

"These things, some of them flowed over from our side decades ago. A friend does this business, and I thought they were good, so I went over and picked a few pieces. You guys divide them up..."

Li Ye said while pushing the jewelry box to Watching Wen Leyu.

Watching Wen Leyu blinked, and although she was full of surprise, she still smiled and pushed it to Hearing Fu Guiru, obviously wanting the future mother-in-law to make the decision.

After all, who has the highest combat power in the family, the little girl still knows.

Don't look at Li Ye being arrogant, but Hearing Fu Guiru slapped him, and he didn't even dare to dodge.

"Let me make the decision? Then I won't be polite."

Hearing Fu Guiru smiled very impolitely and took the pearl necklace and wore it on her neck.

Then she picked up the smallest necklace pendant and handed it to her daughter Fu Yiruo.

But Fu Yiruo didn't take it, but pointed to the jade bracelet and said: "Mom, I want to try that..."

"That one doesn't look good on you; your arms are too thick..."

Fu Yiruo, who was scolded by her mother, pouted and tearfully took the pendant in her hand.

Her wrists were clearly as thin as her sister-in-law's; how could it be "too thick"?

But Fu Yiruo, who grew up with her mother, knew very well that if she dared to say half a "no" at this time, she wouldn't even get this smallest one.

"Pop"

The box closed and was pushed back in front of Watching Wen Leyu.

Watching Wen Leyu looked at her sister-in-law, whose mouth was pouting high, and smiled: "I have so much jewelry, it's not convenient for me to bring it back. Auntie and Little Ru help me share it!"

In fact, in this era, going through customs to the mainland, these kinds of jewelry are really not as strictly checked as industrial products. You wear a jade bracelet, maybe it's not as eye-catching as two video recorders.

In the 90s, the "daoye" (resellers) who went to Russia and returned to the mainland, as long as one of the three video recorders entered customs, they could break even, but the situation of all three being smashed was not uncommon.

"Okay, I'll help you share two pieces."

As soon as Watching Wen Leyu finished speaking, Fu Yiruo quickly picked up the jade bracelet and put it on her hand, and even proudly shook it in front of her mother.

The fair skin set off the moist jade bracelet; if you insist on saying it doesn't look good, then that's too overbearing.

Hearing Fu Guiru was also angry and amused; the harmony between the sister-in-law and sister naturally made her, the mother-in-law, gratified, but her own silly girl, can't take her daughter-in-law's generosity for granted, right?

However, looking at her silly son again, still looking at his sister with doting eyes...

I have to nag him later; the daughter-in-law and the sister are ultimately different.
