Chapter 441 Who did I offend?
If Chen Wei knew that Higashijima Ichiro was thinking such an outrageous request, he would definitely slap him first to wake him up and tell him what kind of daydream he was having.

It's not daytime? Then you need to be even more alert. You're already daydreaming even though it's not daytime...

While Higashijima Ichiro was feeling jealous and complaining, the group had already arrived at the private dining room.

Lobster, tempura, salmon slices, rice balls, sushi, grilled fish chunks...

These were all names Chen Wei knew in his previous life. As for what these things were called in the modern-day Japan, Chen Wei didn't know, and there was no need to ask.

In short, it looks pretty good, and even if the taste is bad, it can't be that bad.

"Sister Qingyue, why don't you sit here? It's easier to pick up food from here," Dongdao Ichiro said warmly.

"I'll sit here; I prefer the food here." Though her true intentions weren't explicitly stated, Su Qingyue didn't want to make it too obvious.

The conversation between the two was relayed by Satomi Higashijima.

Upon hearing this, Higashijima Ichiro's smile froze, unsure of what to say; in short, the atmosphere was very awkward.

Of course, not everyone was embarrassed; he was the only one who was embarrassed.

Chen Wei, Su Qingyue, and Higashijima Rimi got along very well, chatting about food, movies, and things that happened during their university days.

It seems like... only Higashijima Ichiro is an outsider, unable to understand anything.

A hand is eating food in solitude. Although it is delicious food, at this moment, what is the difference between it and chewing on wax?
He truly believed that he should be the center of attention.

Chen Wei, that guy, is just a bit lucky, a bit better at acting, and young, and has achieved some minor success. Why should he steal my spotlight? Why?
Of course, Ichiro Higashijima would never dare to say such a thing in front of Satomi Higashijima; that would be tantamount to asking for a beating.

Let's just be honest and turn our grief and anger into our appetite!

"Mr. Chen, actually my contract recently expired."

"So, can I interpret this as Ms. Rimi implying that I can extend an olive branch?" Chen Wei continued, following up on Higashijima Rimi's words.

If Chen Wei can really sign Higashijima Satomi, he has quite a few scripts he can offer her.

She's a film queen, and equally beautiful. She's been acting since she was a child and has had almost no real scandals. Such an excellent actress is popular no matter where she is.

"That's roughly the idea, right? I really like the Great Xia country and have always wanted to develop my career here, which is why I bought this house," Higashijima Rimi said with a smile.

Her smile truly has a magical quality that heals the soul.

The only exception was Higashijima Ichiro.

This isn't my sister!

"How about I offer Ms. Rimi double her previous contract fee?" Chen Wei stated his terms.

"Twice? Mr. Chen, I remember you haven't been drinking, have you?" Higashijima Rimi's words were not a joke.

"Wait! Mr. Muto, you can't go in. Miss Higashijima is entertaining a very important guest." Before Chen Wei could answer, he heard the maid's voice from outside the door.

Tomino Muto!

Looks like this is going to be interesting.

Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Higashijima Ichiro felt much more at ease.

In Japan, Muto Tomono is a well-known martial arts master, but also a reckless and hot-tempered man.

He carries a katana with him and might draw it on anyone he doesn't like the next second.

He, however, liked Higashijima Rimi. Higashijima Ichiro didn't believe it; seeing his older sister chatting so harmoniously with Chen Wei, wouldn't he get jealous?

"Step aside!"

boom.

"Ah!" As Muto Tomono violently pried open the door, the sound of the maid falling to the ground could be heard.

This scene always feels familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before.

Chen Wei suddenly remembered.

Su Qingyue was in the same posture just now.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I don't know him." Su Qingyue asked curiously when she met Chen Wei's gaze.

"It's nothing," Chen Wei said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"Mr. Muto, this is a gathering with some important friends of mine. Could you please leave?" Higashijima Satomi suppressed her anger, her expression cold yet revealing her rage.

"Rimi, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Daxia beforehand? I went to your house to look for you, and that's when your aunt and uncle told me that you had already settled down in Daxia. As soon as I got off the plane, I came to find you." Muto Tomono's Daxia language skills were neither good nor bad.

Knowing that someone you like loves Daxia culture, catering to their interests is, in Chen Wei's view, basic practice and nothing strange about it.

"I don't need you to come looking for me."

Judging from Higashijima Satomi's furrowed brows, she seems to feel more helpless towards Muto Tomono.

In fact, one of the reasons why Higashijima Satomi switched to Otaka Market was also related to Muto Tomono.

This guy is so controlling. Even though he has absolutely no relationship with Higashijima Satomi, several male actors have been harmed, threatened, and forced to withdraw from the film early in the production process.

Higashijima Rimi never expected that this guy could actually track her all the way to Daxia.

"Since you're a simp, you should learn how to reduce trouble for others. Why are you just causing more trouble? Can't you see that people really dislike you?" Chen Wei said speechlessly.

With Muto Tomoya standing there so aggressively, how were he and Su Qingyue supposed to have dinner?
"What did you say? Who do you think you are? This is none of your business to lecture me." Muto Tomono didn't take Chen Wei seriously at all.

They even believed that he didn't even deserve to be asked to draw his sword.

"Shut up! Muto, please show some respect for my friend!" Higashijima Satomi snapped.

"You're actually yelling at me to protect him? Could it be that he's the real reason you came to Daxia?" Muto Tomono pointed at Chen Wei and questioned Higashijima Satomi.

"My affairs are none of your business. Someone, take Mr. Muto out!" Higashijima Satomi said with a headache.

The atmosphere was fine until this guy showed up and immediately turned sour.

On the other hand, Ichiro Higashijima was too busy gloating.

He was originally thinking about how to deal with Muto Tomono, that jealous guy, but unexpectedly Chen Wei took the initiative to provoke him.

"How incredibly stupid." Ichiro Higashijima didn't realize that he had inadvertently blurted out his true thoughts.

"What did you say!" Muto Tomono mistakenly thought that Higashijima Ichiro was calling him stupid, so he rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and pulled him up from the ground.

"Stop! What do you want to do to my brother!" Higashijima Satomi quickly stood up to stop him.

"..." Higashijima Ichiro was about to cry. Who had he offended?
