Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Chapter 486 The Standard of Win-Win: Overreaching

Yang Jianguo smiled but did not explain Li Aimin's concerns.

If he really had this intention, he wouldn't have stayed in China all this time.

Yang Jianguo admitted that he had a certain degree of goodwill towards Zhongsen, with a touch of sympathy.

He even considered whether he could help her escape her misery if her experiences matched his own.

Extending the lifespan of her career will also allow more people to hear her excellent musical works.

Would this count as making a contribution to music culture?

But from beginning to end, Yang Jianguo never intended for anything to happen between them.

Not to mention anything else, even their 'personal' relationships remain at the minimum level of 'friendship'.

Nakamori is outstanding, but she is not the only outstanding woman in the world.

If Yang Jianguo were truly a womanizer, Zhongsen wouldn't have had a chance with him.

Yu Haitang and Lou Xiao'e are both long gone.

Even if it were Ran Qiuye, if Yang Jianguo were to take the initiative to express his feelings, it would still take time...

He shook his head with amusement, thinking to himself, 'Vanity truly is the original sin; no one can escape it.'

Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Yang Jianguo also began his 'performance'.

This reception is nothing short of a huge, glamorous stage.

The stage is filled with all sorts of people, each dedicated to their own unique role.

Yang Jianguo is also playing his role and trying his best to appear more gentle and friendly.

The Japanese wanted to win him over, and he wanted to take something away from the Japanese.

Both sides have their needs, a win-win situation!

If Japan knew Yang Jianguo's definition of a win-win situation, they would probably be furious.

After the mutual flattery and pleasantries, it was finally time to get down to business.

Yang Jianguo was led into a small, enclosed conference room.

Only Han Xi, the secretary and translator, was free to go; the rest of the staff were left outside.

Although Yang Jianguo is fluent in Japanese.

But he still prefers the way Korean is pronounced.

Outside the venue, Li Aimin stared at Zhongsen in the distance, his eyes darting around, seemingly plotting something wicked.

Soon after, he took the translator and walked towards Nakamori.

After observing her for half a day, he found that the woman had not been approached by anyone.

Therefore, the other party specifically arranged for them to receive my brother-in-law.

In Li Aimin's mind, the level of danger posed by Nakamori had risen another notch.

The only thing that can comfort him right now is his brother-in-law's unwavering devotion to their relationship.

And the outside world's positive evaluation of Nakamori as a "workaholic".

"Ms. Nakamori, I am Li Aimin, and I am part of the delegation for this exchange."

Upon hearing the translator's greeting, Nakamori bowed and said, "Mr. Li, welcome to Kyoto. I am Nakamori..."

"Having heard that Ms. Nakamori is a famous Japanese singer, I came here uninvited."

"It's all thanks to the world's praise, and I also want to thank my fans for their support... Does Li Jun also like music?"

"Yes, I love music, I really love it."

I even learned a few Japanese phrases: "Ya mai disc... Iku... Damn it..."

Nakamori's teeth were slightly parted, and his eyes were wide open.

She was very curious to know who this Mr. Li had learned Japanese from.

Did the other person have any unusual part-time jobs before switching to tutoring?

After awkwardly chatting with Nakamori for almost half an hour, Li Aimin realized that the other party really was a workaholic.

When discussing dating and marriage, his disdain was undisguised.

Of course, it's also possible that he said that specifically to confuse him.

But then he felt that such a beautiful and delicate woman shouldn't be a con artist.

Since ancient times, even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women, let alone Li Aimin, who can hardly be considered a hero.

Calling him a reckless fool of his time is quite apt.

Even a rough and brute can be softened by gentle persuasion.

At this moment, Nakamori, with an elegant smile, spoke to the brother-in-law he was referring to.

Yang Jianguo became more curious, simply because of the information she had gleaned from the other party.

The entertainment industry is never a friendly place, and Nakamori is one of those who can make it on his own.

How could she possibly be a brainless, weak, and naive girl?

In fact, compared to the information Li Aimin received from her.

She had more information, which sparked her curiosity.

Is Yang Jianguo really that amazing?

Maybe!

Otherwise, why would the Foreign Affairs Elder be willing to let her receive the other party?

Zhongsen has a clear understanding of his own position: he only invests in truly important figures.

Only a singer like herself would be dispatched; the important figures in the eyes of ordinary people are not qualified.

She was a singer with absolute dominance in Japan during this period.

Nakamori's true value is more than fans believe.

Especially in certain situations, this is where she harbors resentment.

Although the elder in charge of foreign affairs said it well, we have the right to choose freely.

But she still appears here, greeting everyone with a smile and treating them gently.

If it were truly about freedom, the meeting should have ended when she refused.

This should never have happened.

The so-called choice never existed in the first place!

Nakamori was resistant to the meeting, so she didn't show any enthusiasm from beginning to end.

The previous greetings and formalities were far from the true warmth of the Japanese.

However, she is now looking forward to the rest of the trip.

pat~

The small conference room door opened, and everyone's eyes turned towards the entrance.

I also saw Yang Jianguo and the Foreign Affairs Elder, both with smiles on their faces, coming out side by side with pleasant expressions.

So, were both parties satisfied with this conversation?

Everyone present smiled happily.

They naturally hoped that the reception and talks would satisfy both sides.

Only Li Aimin lowered his head, rubbing his chin, thinking, 'Among these satisfactory conditions, is Nakamori included?'

He soon got the answer he wanted.

After the reception ceremony, they were to take a car to the hotel arranged by the Japanese.

Nakamori was not among the accompanying convoy.

At this moment, Li Aimin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But I also felt a little disappointed, thinking that I might never have the chance to see her again.

With no 'fatal' threat, Li Aimin gradually relaxed his vigilance and realized Nakamori's unique charm.

Recalling the other person's every smile and gesture during our previous conversation.

Li Aimin suddenly felt an itch in his heart, like being scratched by a cat.

What to do? Li Aimin tossed and turned in the car, restless.

"What, did you grow nails on your butt?"

Yang Jianguo, sitting in the back row, opened his eyes amidst the irritating rubbing sounds.

Li Aimin, sitting in the front row, stopped, then shifted to a more comfortable position and leaned back.

He replied dejectedly, "It's nothing, brother-in-law."

Seeing his listless appearance, and recalling the scene I saw when I came out.

He was chatting and laughing with Nakamori when the other man looked away.

His gaze was fixed on her, unwilling to miss a single detail.

'You've fallen for Nakamori?'

Yang Jianguo was both amused and exasperated, and asked, "What do you know about that Nakamori?"

When his brother-in-law asked, Li Aimin's guard, which had just been relaxed, tightened again.

He embellished her thoughts, adding his own extra details.

Nakamori, who originally didn't have a boyfriend, became a love-crazed man who was about to get engaged, according to him.

Li Aimin dared to make up such stories so casually because he knew that his brother-in-law and the people around him wouldn't pay attention to entertainment news.

So, as long as you don't say anything too outrageous.

He certainly wouldn't suspect anything and would go out of his way to investigate.

But Yang Jianguo's increasingly furrowed brows gave Li Aimin a bad feeling.

Could it be that my brother-in-law really has some different feelings for this songstress?

It wasn't that Li Aimin didn't trust him; it was just that this woman was too beautiful and too young.

Yang Jianguo's furrowed brows were because he was thinking about something else entirely.

So, is Nakamori here also troubled by a scumbag boyfriend?

Chapter 487 A Crowd of Cleverness, Deterrent Power

I encountered her again; she was the last songstress I had regretted in my past life.

She should have had a better life and more opportunities, but a scumbag ruined her life.

She did nothing wrong from beginning to end.

Her childhood lack of love left her wanting nothing more than a home she could rely on.

In the end, she was completely hurt by the scumbag.

In this situation, he also bore all the blame.

Yang Jianguo has always regretted this, believing that it shouldn't have happened!

If he knew anything about the entertainment industry, he would know that Nakamori is a well-known workaholic in Japan.

For her, dating and marriage were obstacles to moving forward.

Among his family members, Nakamori is only close to his mother.

If she hadn't been unwilling to leave that family, Nakamori would have severed ties with them long ago.
