Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

The shoji door leading from inside the house to the hot spring in the backyard was pulled open from inside.

Then a petite figure dressed in a kimono appeared in the hallway outside the door.

Her bowing and bending posture caused her long hair to fall on both sides of her face, obscuring her true appearance.

Yang Jianguo grabbed a towel draped over the pool and wrapped it around his waist, asking, "Who told you all to stay outside?"

The standard neon language made the woman who had just entered look up.

With a look of astonishment, he blurted out, "Li Jun, so you can speak Japanese."

Lying somewhat awkwardly in the hot spring pool, Yang Jianguo was a little confused about the situation before him.

It was one thing for Nakamori to be suddenly sent to the resort, but why did she head straight for the hot spring pool?

"Li Jun, isn't this what you meant?"

Nakamori said shyly and innocently, "The Foreign Affairs Elder said that Mr. Li admires Nakamori and hopes that no one will disturb my life."

In that case, isn't that exactly... From now on, Nakamori will definitely serve you well.

I saw Nakamori kneeling by the pool, bowing deeply.

Yang Jianguo quickly stepped aside; he had no habit of making people kowtow to him.

It's so uncomfortable, like going back to the old society.

But when Yang Jianguo saw Nakamori's shy yet serious expression, he couldn't help but shake his head and rub his forehead.

The Foreign Affairs Elder's understanding was correct, but Yang Jianguo had also given him a special hint.

Don't tell Nakamori about this; keep everything from her.

To make everything seem normal, Yang Jianguo even went so far as to portray himself as an "old man who wants to pursue a second spring and experience the feeling of romantic love."

You need to use time and sincerity to win over Nakamori and gain her favor.

With a little devil...

Given the nature of the Japanese, he should be happy about this.

Then, following Yang Jianguo's plan, he kept it a secret from Nakamori, secretly helping her remove the obstacles around her, while he slowly won her over.

But why did his target come to him before he even took any action?

Is it an attitude of 'I am already your shape'?

Wouldn't that be strange?

Only after Nakamori's description did Yang Jianguo understand what had happened.

He underestimated his own importance in the talks.

The Foreign Affairs Elder desperately needed his support and had no time for him to indulge in the boring romance of a middle-aged, greasy man.

Since he expressed interest in Nakamori.

He decided to deliver it directly to their door; he didn't believe they could refuse a cabbage offered to them so readily.

The Foreign Affairs Elder has seen far too many hypocrites who appear virtuous but are actually sanctimonious.

While claiming to be without desires, they secretly crave everything.

He'll take anything you're willing to give.

Even knowing that they shouldn't want it, they can't control their desires.

Therefore, we should sometimes understand men in the same way we understand women.

When someone says no, it's only because they still retain a sense of pride and dignity.

But as long as your arrangements preserve this 'dignity' for him.

That so-called perseverance will also cease to exist.

The secluded hot spring resort was staffed only by Yang Jianguo and his secretary; all the servants were reliable individuals.

Then send Nakamori over there into this 'closed' space.

Dry wood and raging fire, what else is there to endure?

"Ms. Nakamori, there's some misunderstanding here, and I can't explain it to you right now."

You'll understand later. Now please leave; I want to rest alone.

Hearing what Yang Jianguo said, I watched as he lay his head in the groove of the pebbles by the pool and closed his eyes.

Nakamori couldn't help but believe that what he said was true.

In other words, he has no thoughts about himself?

No, if he had no such intentions, why would he express to the Elder of Foreign Affairs that he wanted to monopolize the property?

Is it to prevent myself from dating?!

Is it a strange possessiveness, or does he have some kind of perverted hobby?

Looking at Yang Jianguo, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, Zhongsen felt particularly complicated.

As a well-known workaholic in the entertainment industry, everyone knows that she would never give up her career to date or become a housewife.

Therefore, the second option can also be ruled out.

Now, only one item remains.

A strange possessiveness, or a perverted hobby.

Nakamori was a little worried that it would be the latter; if it were the former, at least she wouldn't have to worry about being in danger.

But if it's the latter...

"Ms. Nakamori, I need to rest."

The notification sounded again, waking Nakamori from his thoughts.

After a few seconds of hesitation, his expression shifting, Nakamori bowed obediently and said, "It was Nakamori who disturbed you; I shall take my leave."

Chapter 489 True Intentions, How Despicable!

After leaving the hot spring pool, Yang Jianguo once again enjoyed this rare moment of solitude.

The Sanjing Consortium wants to invest in Loongson and conduct initial cooperation in the energy, steel and non-ferrous metals sectors.

Meanwhile, the other party wants to secure exclusive energy exploration rights in the southwest and northern regions.

Recalling the red circle that Sanjing had drawn on the map, Yang Jianguo sneered, "Wishful thinking."

The Japanese devils are still determined to destroy us; all they do all day is scheme and plot.

Want to monopolize domestic energy? You must have drunk too much Sanlu milk powder and lost your mind.

Let alone now, you can't be in control of the situation even when we're fighting.

Energy is the driving force of development; it's not something that outsiders can control.

Sanjing shouldn't even think about it.

After his anger subsided, Yang Jianguo finally had time to consider Sanjing's true intentions.

The other party couldn't possibly be unaware that wanting to obtain independent surveying rights was a pipe dream.

Let alone independence, it's impossible for it to even be non-exclusive.

So what is its real purpose?

What exactly is the purpose of proposing an independent survey?

As the tree man once said, if you want to build the roof first, no one will agree, but if you suggest opening a window, they will compromise and agree.

This is the Chinese people's inherent doctrine of the mean.

Therefore, he first demanded independent surveying rights, which made it impossible for him to agree to the 'roof'.

Which 'window' should be opened next?

It's a collaboration in the steel/non-ferrous metals sector. How deep will this collaboration go?

Lost in thought, Yang Jianguo woke up again when it was already late at night.

The night wind blowing against my arm felt a little eerie.

Yang Jianguo got up, took a clean bath towel from the screen, wrapped it around his waist, and went back to his room.

What exactly is Sanjing thinking? Perhaps the brief meeting during tomorrow's break will reveal the answer.

Whatever it may be, it's ultimately about profit!

Once this point is clear, Yang Jianguo knows exactly what to do.

You have your interests, and I have mine.

He doesn't mind exchanging benefits to achieve a win-win situation.

The mainland completely overwhelms this tiny island nation in every aspect, including area, resources, and population.

What good is a win-win situation? Just one bend in the road and you won't even see the taillights.

Saying it's a win-win situation is just modesty; in reality, we've won too much.

But if you simply want to get something for free, is that something you can actually do?

Want to eat fart!

Let's put aside uncertain issues like the Sansei Group for now.

Yang Jianguo opened the shoji door leading into the house. "Xiao Han, are you asleep?"

Thump, thump thump~

The shoji door opened, and Han Xi ran out, wearing a coat: "Boss, I'm here!"

"Wait, bring me the transcript of today's private conversation. I want to take another look."

"Okay, leader."

Before Han Xi arrived, the servants brought hot tea to the low table in front of him.

"Thank you."

The freshly made matcha still has faint white bubbles around the edges.

One sip and I felt instantly refreshed.

Yes, as long as it can refresh me, that's fine.

After soaking in the hot spring, Yang Jianguo was indeed a little sleepy.

After a couple of sips of tea, I immediately felt refreshed.

"Boss, here are the transcripts of the conversation you requested."

Han Xi, dressed neatly, came over and handed him the black notebook with the notes.

"It's alright now, go and rest!"

Yang Jianguo opened the record and compared the notes with his own memory.

Neon Seiko expressed its intention to deepen its cooperation with Loongson and reach a strategic partnership, which was clearly recorded in the conversation log.

This is the most important thing right now. What else does 'Neon Seiko' want?

For Yang Jianguo, doing business is not about what the other party wants.

Instead, we should see what he wants and then decide what to give him.

If it's not what I want, I might as well not do the deal!

Japan needs a lot of foreign exchange domestically, but it has always preferred to use its own money to pay for these expenses.

Hey ~

Yang Jianguo suddenly realized that the price of the Japanese coin was skyrocketing, so he wondered if he could offer to settle the transaction in US dollars.

In the short term, it's definitely a loss, but after a while, it'll become a bubble.

Bang! It exploded into pieces.
