Chapter 834: Preparing to Go to Japan
Kobayashi Pharmaceutical has multiple production bases in Japan.
Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Besides Tokyo, it also has production lines in cities like Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya.
Furthermore, some time ago, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical also invested a large sum of money to build the largest biopharmaceutical production base in Asia in Osaka.
Ye Chen's trip to Japan this time, besides finalizing the share transfer agreement with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical and completing the share change and transfer, also involves taking Wei Liang of Wei's Pharmaceuticals to inspect these production bases.
Wei Liang is now the General Manager of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical and is also the person in charge of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical. Once Ye Chen takes down Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, the entire production line of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical will temporarily have to be managed by him.
In the future, if the timing is right, Tang Tang Sihai can be brought over to take over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, and then Wei Liang can focus his energy domestically to continue expanding the scale of Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical within the country.
Therefore, Ye Chen set an itinerary plan with Chen Zekai.
Their group will fly from Jin Ling to Tokyo tomorrow morning. Chen Zekai will contact his subordinates in Tokyo to make arrangements for reception locally, and at that time, a motorcade will be arranged to accompany them throughout the trip.
After finishing the business in Tokyo, they will set off by car from Tokyo, heading west, and proceed to Yokohama.
Yokohama is near Tokyo, and the distance is not far; driving there takes less than a hundred kilometers.
Then, they will drive from Yokohama to Nagoya, and finally to Osaka.
After the inspection in Osaka is finished, they can fly directly back to Jin Ling from Osaka.
The reason for driving through these cities is mainly because Japan's land area is relatively small, and these cities are actually not far apart.
From Tokyo all the way to Osaka, it's only a distance of over five hundred kilometers. A plane can arrive in less than an hour, not to mention that they have to visit Yokohama and Nagoya in between. Taking a plane would be more of a hassle and far less convenient than driving.
Ye Chen studied the map of Japan and discovered a small detail: the highway from Nagoya to Osaka in Japan happens to pass through Kyoto.
And Ito Nanako, who was seriously injured and recuperating, was in Kyoto.
A thought couldn't help but well up in Ye Chen's heart: I must go to Kyoto to see her!
At the dinner table, Ye Chen told his family directly that he was going to Japan tomorrow.
Upon hearing that Ye Chen was leaving tomorrow, Xiao Xiao Churan said with some reluctance, "You just came back today, and you're leaving tomorrow. We haven't even spent 24 hours together..."
"That's right!" Xiao Xiao Changkun also couldn't help but mutter, "Good son-in-law, earning money is certainly important, but your health is even more important. You are always rushing back and forth like this; your body won't be able to take it."
Ma Lan, on the side, said with some excitement, "Oh, what do you know? You've been useless ever since you got married, without any ambition, which is why our family has always been looked down upon by the Old Mrs. Xiao and has never lived a good life."
After finishing, she looked at Ye Chen with a fawning face and complimented, "Look at our Ye Chen, how ambitious he is! He's many times better than you!"
Xiao Xiao Changkun gave a hum, "Are you a person now? Wasn't it you who used to chase people around, calling Ye Chen a loser? Wasn't it you who used to chase our daughter, telling her to divorce Ye Chen?"
Ma Lan's expression was a bit unnatural, and she said with a flushed face, "Xiao Xiao Changkun, stop trying to sow discord here! It was certainly my fault before, but I can correct my mistakes!"
After finishing, she hurriedly said to Ye Chen with a smile, "Good son-in-law, how many days are you going to Japan for this time?"
Ye Chen said, "If it's fast, three to five days; if it's slow, maybe a week."
Xiao Xiao Churan couldn't help but mutter, "Ah? That long?!"
Ye Chen smiled, "It's going abroad, after all, and I'm unfamiliar with the place. Things definitely won't be as convenient as they are domestically. In case I really need to help someone adjust their Feng Shui, I probably won't have the raw materials, which are so easy to find domestically, so the time cycle might be a bit longer."
Xiao Xiao Churan felt a sense of loss in her heart.
During the days Ye Chen was in Yan Jing, she thought of him every night as she fell asleep. Now that she had finally hoped for his return, she didn't expect him to leave again, and for several days at that.
Ma Lan couldn't help but ask at this time, "Good son-in-law, how much money are they giving you for looking at their Feng Shui in Japan?"
Ye Chen answered casually, "Two or three million, I suppose."
"Oh my! That much!" Ma Lan clapped her hands happily, then gave a thumbs up and complimented, "My son-in-law is truly amazing! Just by looking at Feng Shui casually, you can earn two or three million!"
After finishing, she hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Good son-in-law, I've heard that the medicinal cosmetics, skincare products, and such in Japan are of great quality and efficacy. Don't forget to buy some gifts for Mom when you come back!"
Xiao Xiao Changkun couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out, "Ma Lan, are you ever going to stop? Ye Chen has already bought you a pile of Hermes bags; are you still asking him for gifts? Your greed is insatiable!"
"None of your business!" Ma Lan glared at Xiao Xiao Changkun and said angrily, "I'm asking my good son-in-law, not you. Why are you chirping here? Whose pants weren't pulled up properly, exposing you?"
When Xiao Xiao Changkun heard this, his face turned red with anger, and his whole body trembled!
"Didn't pull up my pants and exposed myself? Isn't she comparing me to that thing?"
"This woman's mouth is too vicious! I really want to slap her!"
However, Xiao Xiao Changkun only dared to think about it in his heart. If he really laid a hand on Ma Lan, he would have endless trouble in the future.
Thus, he immediately looked at Xiao Xiao Churan and complained, "Xiao Churan, look at your mother. Truly, no ivory comes out of a dog's mouth. What kind of character is this!"
Xiao Xiao Churan couldn't listen anymore either and couldn't help but say, "Mom, can't you be a bit more civilized..."
"Fine, fine, fine." Ma Lan waved her hand indifferently, "I'll be more civilized. I won't lower myself to the level of this old thing."
Ye Chen, on the side, shook his head and smiled, not taking it to heart. He had long been used to the bickering between this couple. If these two didn't fight on any given day, it would actually feel a bit wrong.
After dinner, Ye Chen and Xiao Xiao Churan returned to the bedroom on the second floor.
The couple, as usual, took showers one after the other, and then lay on the bed, one on the left and one on the right.
Ever since the previous upgrade, Ye Chen hadn't taken things further with Xiao Xiao Churan. However, Ye Chen wasn't too anxious, not to mention that there had been many things happening recently, and his heart was always troubled by the figures of several other women.
Thinking of going to Japan tomorrow, the face of Ito Nanako couldn't help but surface in his mind, as well as how she looked when she was injured in the ring.
Ye Chen didn't quite understand why he couldn't stop thinking about this Japanese woman, Ito Nanako.
Perhaps, he was attracted by her dual personality—gentle as water, yet unyielding and resilient?
Just as he was letting his thoughts wander, Ye Chen suddenly felt Xiao Xiao Churan's body move beside him.
He thought Xiao Xiao Churan was just turning over normally, but he didn't expect her to lift a corner of Ye Chen's quilt and crawl into his bed... ===== CHAPTER 835 =====
