Chapter 21 Take a break, Eli will fight again (1)

Sitting in the bright office. Tanaka Rui was sitting opposite him and couldn't hide his smile. Yingying: "Iris Jun gave the highest evaluation of the President's design during yesterday's meeting. Of course, Nishio Jun and others' explanations! It is said that not only him, but even Governor Hiroshi Sakai, he was very satisfied with our company's explanation. As long as he is satisfied with the big surprise, entering the second round will not be a problem!"

Ai Fei smiled and took the folder handed over by Reiko Kato, quickly signed his name on the list, and handed it back to her: "Archive!"

"Hi!" the girl agreed in a low voice, and took a letter with her other hand: "Mr. President, this is your letter."

Ai Fei took the letter and was stunned immediately: Yumiya's handwriting!? What's wrong? Something happened to the United States? He temporarily stopped Tanaka Rui's announcement and opened the letter. Who knew that only the cover was in Japanese, and the text inside was actually in English!? What's going on?

I carefully distinguished the writing style on the letter paper - until now, he still can't stand this writing style and always took a lot of energy to understand. This time I knew it was written by Grace Kelly. Why did she write to herself? It's really a god! She didn't know that there is something in the world called a typewriter?

Now is not the time to read the letter seriously, he put the letter aside: "Oh, you keep going."

"Hi Yi!" Tanaka Rui was a little surprised. How did the president's face change? He didn't dare to ask: "It's like this. The design and use of the baffle, as well as the detailed processing of the construction of the airport, are all highly recognized designs. The most important thing is that our company is the most popular among all the companies that have registered for this bid, including two American companies. In the words of Iris, this is what Hiroko Sakai said!"

"... And the second advantage is that according to Iris Juntolou, this time our company proposed a very innovative design, which has been recognized by many government officials. I believe that in the near future, if it can be published to the public through newspapers and radio stations, it will also be quite hotly discussed and sought after."

"...The third, that is, the last point, is the concerns and concerns from Iris. This is divided into two aspects. The first is the Assistant Governor of the Construction Province. His opinion is that a construction company with only two years of history will hand over such a large project to them just because they put forward some novel baffle idea? Don't you need to consider the problems and lack of experience that may arise during formal construction and construction? After all, there are only two projects they have undertaken so far!"

"...The second concern is related to Inoue Kwan's conversation. As we all know, countless small construction companies from China are preparing to obtain orders for subcontracting projects from companies such as Yamato. Now, this situation has been changed because of the sudden appearance of Ai Shi. I believe that in the near future, Ai Shi, which can enter the second round, will receive more attention from many parties. If Ai Shi cannot come up with a more meaningful design and cannot come up with a more eye-catching copy, I am afraid that it will stop in... the second round."

He said the last few words hesitantly. Ai Fei heard it, and he also admitted that lack of experience was the biggest problem facing Ai Company.

Tanaka Rui's story continues: "However, Iris still kindly proposed a solution for us. It is to cooperate with some small companies that change their identities and are willing to cooperate with our company. They will make up for the problem of insufficient testing in our construction."

"..." Ai Fei crossed his hands and placed them on his chin, falling into long thoughts.

After a while, he finally put down his hand: "It's not good!"

“Eh?”

"There is an important part of our bidding plan and copywriting preparation, which is to use mechanical tools that seem to be quite advanced now. The advantage of this is to save labor costs greatly, and the disadvantage is that there will be no particularly many people on the construction site. If we cooperate with other companies, the other party will definitely not be willing to accept such conditions. After all, few companies are like us, with only a small part of the staff. Too many employees will add a lot of burden to them and will also increase the cost of this construction. Even if I am willing, the other party will never agree."

"But... Mr. President, if this is the case, how should we solve such a problem when we accept inquiries from all parties in the final stage? Is this a problem that we cannot avoid?"

"I know!" Ai Fei stood up and walked a few steps in the office: "Niya-kun, what do you think?"

Nishio was also a little scratched. Inadequate experience is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time, but it is also a problem that cannot be avoided: "Mr. President, I think that the so-called inadequate experience is just an excuse to deal with attacks on us. Even if... I'm sorry, my thinking is a bit confusing and I can't think of many ways for a while."

"Nothing, just say whatever you think. Let's solve this problem together."

"Okay. I think I should consider the suggestion of Iris and cooperate with some other companies. Ai Shi Company has too few staffing and the project volume this time is very large. With our manpower, even if we use machinery and equipment, it may be difficult to achieve the goal as scheduled. It is better to subcontract some projects, which can not only eliminate the criticism caused by unwilling to provide employment opportunities, but also use the work of these people to provide work experience for our personnel."

Seeing him thinking while speaking, and looking frowning, Ai Fei burst out laughing: "Forget it, everyone will seriously consider this matter after going back. Well, Nishio-kun, Tanaka-kun?"

"Yes?"

"If there is really a small company like Iris said to come to discuss cooperation, don't close the door for the time being... However, don't give any specific answers. In short, just drag it out first and find out the other party's strength and details before talking about it."

"Yes, we get it."

"So, let's do it. Seize this opportunity. Everyone take a few days off, relax, and work hard for the more cruel competition in the future!"

"Hi!"

After the office was cleaned, he had the opportunity to pick up the letter and read it carefully. This really required him to read it seriously - otherwise he would not understand it! The English writing style is quite good, but Ai Fei was not used to it, it looked like a heavenly book.

"Mr. Ike, I have never known that you have returned to China. When you came to New York again, you learned about this news from your assistant Ms. Arimiya Iko. I am sorry that I was unable to say goodbye to you in person. I feel very sorry."

"...I originally wanted to write this letter immediately after returning to Los Angeles from New York and send you greetings, but because of the heavy work recently, I have been receiving invitations for movie contracts and performances, so I have been delaying again and again. I believe that with your innate respect and understanding of women, I should not blame you for this, right?"

"...Whenever I am free at work, I always think of the scenes I have met you on several occasions. Your humor, your friendship, and the kind of inner respect you communicate with me all make me relax. It is very pleasant, and I can feel your soul in every touch of the eyes you look at you."

"...Mr. Ike, before I wrote this letter, I arrived in New York again because of an opportunity. However, I, who once rejected you ruthlessly and recklessly, could hardly be able to get the courage to enter your office - of course, at that time, I didn't know that you had left New York, and even Ms. Amemiya Iko moved to the hotel to live - under the leadership of Mr. Wise Benjamin, I came to your brand new company location in Rockefeller Center. By the way, Ms. Amemiya Iko read the letter you wrote for us generously. As I always feel about you, even if you communicate with Ms. Amemiya Iko, who is very familiar with me, you can see your concern and respect for her."

"………For me, writing this letter is the most courageous decision in my life. I admit that I have always recalled the experience of every interaction and communication I have with you. It is a wonderful, leisurely, and it is a communication that allows people to let go of everything and devote all their body and mind to that simple happiness. Yes, this is what you give me the feeling!"

"...Mr. Ike, do you remember that you talked to me that night? When you asked me for a further request than an ordinary friend, I even refused you in a panic! The feeling in my heart is inconsistent with the words and actions of people. I don't know if you have ever had it, but, Mr. Ike, I think you know that when I wrote this letter to you, I was enduring the torment of this feeling!"

"...Mr. Ike, when I returned to New York City, where you had left, I had a very in-depth conversation with Ms. Iko Yumiya, and also learned all your experiences. At the same time, I asked myself that I also had some understanding of you. From her story, I know that you are a man who does not understand difficulties and others, and does not agree with always having a bright, upward and high-spirited mentality. Whether in Japan or in the United States, you hope to achieve success, and you have achieved it. This must be a portrayal of this mentality? So, I want to be very brave, but I am very ashamed to ask you, do you have the same courage as me in the relationship between us, and ask me again for my opinion?"

"... Your assistant Ms. Ariamiya Iko is a very friendly, generous woman who makes me envious. When I asked her about your address in Japan, in order to send this letter smoothly, I had a long conversation with her. For her, your success or failure is an acceptable result. What she cares more about is your happiness and well-being. When I explained the reason to her, Ms. Ariamiya Iko once repeatedly asked me not to destroy this hope that will make you feel happy after giving you hope again!"

"...God knows, what kind of mentality do I have when I make such a request to her? I dare not even ask you to be ordinary friends with me again with that kind of respect, understanding and kindness. How can you, how can you believe that I will hurt you again?"

"……………Mr. Ike, I hope that my letter will not cause you any trouble or doubt. Please believe me, when I wrote the letter, I was completely uneasy and looked forward to your reply. Just as the harm I caused to you in the last conversation was never compensated, even if you rejected me, it was understandable in my opinion."

"Just as you said at the beginning. Even the trial of prisoners requires a jury to study behind closed doors. I am just waiting for your letter in this distant country."

The letter was written very long, with three pages. After finally reading it, he was a little confused: What does she mean? She changed her mind? Are she willing to have further date with me? Is this what she meant?

After reading the letter again, he put it back into the envelope and stood up slowly. He asked himself, but there was no happy mood in his heart: Why is this happening? When I was in the United States, didn’t I really want to start a formal relationship with Grace? Now that I received a letter with such content, this matter is going completely according to my hope. Why wouldn’t I feel happy?

Take out a cigarette from the pocket of the suit and ignite it. This... Ai Fei, what are you thinking?

"Bad news?"

"Eh?" He looked up and was hitting Miss Lianzi's timid gaze: "Ah, it's not bad news."

"That's good." Reiko Kato laughed, as if the 'not bad news' he said was good news for her.

Ai Fei suddenly called her: "Miss Lianzi?"

"Hi! What are the instructions?"

"It's not a command. Well, Miss Lianzi, I have a very personal question to ask you. Please forgive me for your rudeness, okay?"

"Hey!" the girl replied loudly: "As long as Lianzi can answer, it's OK."

"What do you think...when a person feels like another person?"

Lianzi's face suddenly turned like a big red apple: "You? You?"

"Do you think I'm asking too much? Forget it! When I didn't say it."

Reiko Kato's mouth immediately started to rush: "Why is this happening?"

"Hey? What did you say?"

"How can this be done?" Miss Lianzi rolled her eyes: "How can you say something that has been said: 'When you didn't say it'?"

Ai Fei smiled at her childish expression: "Okay, if that's the case, you must be willing to answer it for me, right? Then, let's start?"

"Eh?" The girl's face suddenly turned red.
