People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Ding Ze even stopped driving altogether, letting Janet, the tour guide who knew the way, act as the driver while he comfortably sat in the passenger seat.

I have to say, it's actually quite comfortable this way.

Feeling comfortable, feeling comfortable.

Scarlett Janssen called, "Mr. Ding, the cast is all set. Next, the producer and director will try to find a suitable prison. If they can't, then we'll have to build one..."

After a brief greeting, Scarlett gave a detailed account of the film crew's progress.

“Okay, you’ll take full responsibility. If you think it’s okay, then it’s okay,” Ding Ze replied, genuinely unconcerned.

“Thank you…” After thanking him, Scarlett hesitated for a moment, but wanting to spend more time with Ding Ze, she finally spoke up and asked, “Mr. Ding, are you in Miami?”

“Not right now, I just arrived in Hokkaido today,” Ding Ze roughly guessed Scarlett’s intentions. “You want to see me?”

Scarlett wasn't the type of woman to be overly reserved, so she readily admitted, "Yes."

“Haha, then I’ll ask Janet,” Ding Ze replied.

Janet was right next to him and naturally heard what Ding Ze said. Before Ding Ze could ask, she simply said, "Let's invite her over to play."

“Scarlett, Janet agreed. If you’re free, fly over and let’s soak in the hot springs together,” Ding Ze said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll arrange a time,” Scarlett replied.

“Call me when you arrive,” Ding Ze said.

"it is good."

The two didn't say anything more and ended the call.

The truth is, Scarlett didn't have much to do in the next few days, otherwise she wouldn't have asked the question earlier.

So, after hanging up the phone, Scarlett immediately went online and booked a flight from Los Angeles to Hokkaido a few hours later.

A few hours is enough time to arrange some work-related matters.

Hokkaido.

Janet, who had accepted Scarlett's existence from the beginning, had a good attitude and didn't say anything about it. She continued listening to music and driving, thinking, "I want to go see the grasslands."

"Okay, whatever you say," Ding Ze said without objection, which could be considered a way of returning the favor.

Janet heard this and smiled happily.

What does it matter if all sorts of beautiful women come and go? They're all just passing through.

As long as I'm always here, that's enough.

The two then drove towards the grassland.

Suddenly, the phone rang again; this time it was Abruzzi calling.

Ding Ze answered the phone.

"Boss, where did you go to play again?" Abruzzi asked with a smile, not in a hurry to get to the point.

“Just arrived in Hokkaido,” Ding Ze replied. “It looks pretty nice here. If there’s a chance in the future, our company can organize a vacation so that everyone can come and have some fun here.”

“…” Abruzzi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, “The Japanese government must be scared to death.”

Ding Ze hadn't really thought of that. After being reminded by Abruchi, he said, "Haha, that's true. Then let's keep a low profile and come in batches."

"Is this a matter of being low-key?" Abruzzi asked speechlessly.

The two chatted idly for a while.

Abruzzi then got down to business, "Boss, the governor of Hawaii has contacted us and expressed his desire to work with us on next year's plans."

What do you think?

Ding Ze has never been to Hawaii. "Let's investigate his situation first and see what his background is like."

“Yes, that’s what I think too. So, how far has the investigation progressed?” Abruzzi asked.

"The investigation is thorough, including his family, his wife's family, relatives and friends... This kind of person is bound to have some scandals. We need to see how big the scandals are and how much impact they have. We don't want things to end up like this, where all the money we invested goes down the drain. That's money we worked so hard to earn," Ding Ze said in one breath.

“Okay, I understand,” Abruzzi replied.

"By the way, what's the attitude of the governor of Florida?" Ding Ze thought of this and asked, "We live in Florida, so it would be more appropriate for our own governor to be here."

“I’ve spoken to them, but they’re very cautious. They just said they need to think it over carefully and there’s no result yet,” Abruzzi replied.

"That idiot," Ding Ze said with a laugh, "Fine, contact me as soon as you have any news."

"Okay." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 208: Go to Kasukabe and meet Nohara Shinnosuke by chance

In Hokkaido, the sunset at dusk is beautiful.

Janet had been driving all day and had just had a big battle with Ding Ze on the grassland. She was exhausted, so she simply gave up, stopped driving, lay down in the passenger seat, and fell asleep peacefully.

Ding Ze drove his car, a cigarette dangling from his lips, listening to soothing music.

That evening, there seemed to be a clear sense of peace in the air.

He liked this feeling very much.

Time flies.

Back in Hokkaido city, Janet opened her eyes, woke up, gave Ding Ze a playful smile, and then stretched, "I slept so well."

“I can tell, he snores nonstop,” Ding Ze said, spouting nonsense.

Janet was startled. "Get lost, I don't snore."

Ding Ze smiled but remained silent.

Seeing Ding Ze's reaction, Janet panicked a little and asked weakly, "I really did snore."

Ding Ze maintained his smile and nodded, "Mm."

Janet was embarrassed: "..."

Ding Ze saw this and couldn't stop laughing, "Haha, so easily fooled?"

"!!!!" Janet was furious upon hearing this. "You bastard, that's enough! How can you joke about something like this?"

"Haha, why not?" Ding Ze retorted.

"No way! I really want to beat you to death!" Janet glared angrily, showing how furious she was.

The two of them bickered for a little while.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

It was Scarlett Janssen calling.

“Mr. Ding, I’ve arrived. I just got off the plane. Where should I look for you?” Scarlett asked.

Hokkaido isn't big... In fact, the whole of Japan is only a tiny little thing.

So, without thinking, Ding Ze said directly, "Just wait at the airport, we'll come pick you up."

Scarlett was delighted that Ding Ze was willing to pick her up, and immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, I'm at xxx."

“Okay, see you later,” Ding Ze replied, and hung up the phone.

Not long after, the two arrived at the airport and quickly picked up Scarlett.

Scarlett sat in the back row and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Ding, Janet."

Janet smiled back, "Scarlett, you're so quick! What would you like for dinner?"

As a former high-earning actress, Scarlett Johansson has naturally visited internationally renowned tourist destinations like Hokkaido, though not many times. "I'm fine with anything, you guys decide."

“Then I’ve made up my mind,” Janet said without any further politeness. She thought of a restaurant she used to frequent when she came here and turned to Ding Ze. “Damn it, turn left up ahead.”

Ding Ze smiled and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Scarlett was surprised that Janet would address Ding Ze that way, and she was also surprised that Ding Ze didn't mind at all. She was a little surprised, but also a little envious.

'The relationship between these two is really special,' Scarlett thought with a smile.

About twenty minutes later.

The three arrived at the restaurant, ordered food, and enjoyed their dinner.

Janet didn't mind Scarlett's presence and quickly started chatting with her.

Ding Ze couldn't get a word in edgewise during the two women's conversation, so he could only quietly play the role of a background character.

And so, as time slowly passed, the three of them enjoyed a truly excellent dinner and set off for a very expensive hot spring resort.

This hot spring resort has private hot springs, but the price is very high.

So Ding Ze paid for a private hot spring.

This hot spring is located in a corner of the estate, and you need to swipe a card to enter.

The hot spring is surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers, and the environment certainly justifies the price.

The three of them sat for a while, and only after the waiter brought in the wine and fruit platter they had ordered did they finally move to soak in the hot spring.

Naturally, we won't be disturbed here, so there's no need for swimsuits or anything like that.
