Chapter 851

Tanaka Koichi didn't expect that after hearing the news that Ye Chen had come to Japan, the Eldest Miss's voice would suddenly become incredibly cheerful.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Did I not make myself clear just now? This Ye Chen owes your father 4.5 billion US dollars! Why do you seem so excited as soon as you hear the news that he has come to Japan?"

However, Tanaka Koichi naturally didn't dare to ask this question.

At this time, seeing that he didn't respond, Ito Nanako hurriedly asked him again, "Tanaka-san, answer me quickly! Has Ye Chen-kun really come to Japan?"

Tanaka Koichi could only say honestly, "Yes, Eldest Miss, he has come to Japan, he is in Tokyo, and I saw him today."

Ito Nanako asked, "Did he come to Japan just to take over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical?"

"I suppose so." Tanaka Koichi answered truthfully, "I don't know the specific details, but he should be here to take over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical."

Ito Nanako felt a little regretful in her heart, thinking, "If Ye Chen-kun came to Japan just to take over Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, then he should only stay in Tokyo for a few days. After finishing his business, I'm afraid he will return to China, right? He definitely won't come to Kyoto, so I definitely won't have a chance to see him..."

Thinking of this, a very strong thought suddenly surged in Ito Nanako's heart. She wanted to go to Tokyo, she wanted to see Ye Chen!

So, she hurriedly asked Tanaka Koichi, "Tanaka-san, do you know how many days Ye Chen-kun will stay in Tokyo?"

Tanaka Koichi said awkwardly, "Eldest Miss, I'm not too sure about this..."

Ito Nanako said hurriedly, "I'll have Watanabe-san prepare right now, and we'll take a car back to Tokyo early tomorrow morning."

"Back to Tokyo?" Tanaka Koichi asked, "Eldest Miss, haven't you always wanted to recuperate in Kyoto? Why do you suddenly want to come back at this time? Could it be... could it be for Mr. Ye?"

"Yes!" Ito Nanako blurted out without thinking, "I want to see Ye Chen-kun. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I won't have a chance!"

Tanaka Koichi immediately realized that something seemed wrong.

He couldn't help but ponder in his heart:

"The Eldest Miss has always been incredibly reserved and has never lost her composure because of any member of the opposite sex."

"But now, she is incredibly excited because she learned the news that Ye Chen has come to Tokyo, and she even plans to return to Tokyo early tomorrow morning to see Ye Chen. This is truly too abnormal..."

"Could it be..."

"Could it be that the Eldest Miss has already developed feelings for Ye Chen?!"

Thinking of this, Tanaka Koichi was incredibly shocked. He thought to himself, "The Eldest Miss has always admired martial arts masters with extraordinary strength, and Ye Chen is a master among masters, with strength so powerful that it is staggering. If the Eldest Miss really has feelings for him, it would be reasonable..."

"But... the Chairman is a thorough nationalist. He has long clearly stated that when the Eldest Miss marries in the future, she must not marry a man from any country other than Japan. If the Eldest Miss really likes Ye Chen and the Chairman finds out, he will definitely be furious!"

Thinking of this, Tanaka Koichi hurriedly said, "Eldest Miss, you absolutely must not do this!"

Ito Nanako asked in surprise, "Why, Tanaka-san?"

Tanaka Koichi blurted out, "If the Chairman knows that you have feelings for Mr. Ye, he will definitely be incredibly angry. By then, not only will you not be able to see Mr. Ye, but you will very likely be grounded by the Chairman, and I'm afraid the Chairman will accelerate your marriage plan because of this!"

Although Ito Nanako and Tanaka Koichi were separated by the phone, she still blushed instantly because of his words.

She explained stammeringly, "Tanaka-san... you... you misunderstood, I... I don't... don't have... feelings for Mr. Ye..."

Tanaka Koichi sighed, "Eldest Miss, I have served the Ito family for many years and have been by your side for a long time, so I know you quite well. You don't need to hide it from me, and I don't want to pry into your privacy. The key is, if I can see your thoughts, the Chairman, with his sharp eyes, will definitely not be able to be deceived. By then, I'm afraid you won't see Mr. Ye, but instead reveal your thoughts in front of the Chairman..."

"This..." Ito Nanako was speechless all of a sudden.

She knew that Tanaka Koichi was reminding her entirely out of good intentions.

She also knew that her father, Ito Yuhiko, would never allow her to have any development with a foreign man. He had made it clear to her countless times that he could only accept her marrying a Japanese person in the future, and a Japanese person with pure Japanese blood.

As for others, even immigrants who came from China and the Korean Peninsula one or two hundred years ago and have lived in Japan for three or four generations, in his eyes, are not pure Japanese.

Just like Masayoshi Son, the chairman of SoftBank Group who invested in Alibaba, although he is the richest man in Japan on the surface, in the eyes of Ito Yuhiko, he is not considered Japanese at all.

Because Masayoshi Son's grandfather's generation was originally from Daegu, South Korea.

Many years ago, they immigrated from Daegu, South Korea, to Japan and worked as miners. Masayoshi Son himself was born and raised in Japan.

In the eyes of most people, he is already a standard Japanese person.

However, in the eyes of a nationalist like Ito Yuhiko, Masayoshi Son can at most be considered a Korean-Japanese.

This is just like how Americans view Chinese-Americans; even if Chinese-Americans have American citizenship, in the eyes of some Americans, they are still regarded as Chinese.

Precisely because Ito Nanako knows her father very well, she felt lingering fear for her hasty decision.

Tanaka Koichi was right. If she suddenly returned to Tokyo and insisted on seeing Ye Chen, Ito Yuhiko would definitely be furious, and might even ground Ito Nanako, or even directly interfere with her freedom of marriage, find a marriage partner for her, and force her to marry.

Thinking of this, Ito Nanako felt incredibly lost in her heart, and she murmured, "Thank you, Tanaka-san, I understand..."

Tanaka Koichi hurriedly asked, "Eldest Miss, are you still returning to Tokyo tomorrow?"

Ito Nanako bit her lower lip gently and remained silent for a long time before saying with some sadness, "I'd better not go back, so as not to cause trouble. It wouldn't be good if I caused trouble for Ye Chen-kun again."

Tanaka Koichi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eldest Miss is wise. The Chairman is very angry with Mr. Ye right now. If it weren't for the cooperation with the Su family, I'm afraid the Chairman would have already found a way to take action against Mr. Ye. If you come to Tokyo to see Mr. Ye at this time, it will definitely add fuel to the fire..."

Ito Nanako said softly, full of loss, "I understand, Tanaka-san. Also, can I ask you for one thing?"

Tanaka Koichi said hurriedly, "Eldest Miss, just tell me if you have anything!"

Ito Nanako said, "If Father's conflict with Ye Chen-kun intensifies, please, Tanaka-san, be sure to stop Father. Do not do anything to harm Ye Chen-kun because of a moment of urgency..."

Tanaka Koichi said awkwardly, "Eldest Miss, to tell you the truth, Mr. Ye owes the Chairman 4.5 billion US dollars now. Even if you like him, you can't favor him over your own family!"

Ito Nanako said incredibly seriously, "I am not trying to protect Ye Chen-kun, but to protect Father. The Ito family is no match for Ye Chen-kun. If we offend Ye Chen-kun, I fear there will be a disaster..."
