Chapter 62 Unexpected Visitors (1)
It's still a little distance away. You can see several cars parked in front of Meghan's house. No need to ask, it must be his friends or family coming from different places, right? Sure enough, just as their car was parked on the side of the road, you can also see someone coming in and out of the door. Judging from their clothes, it's obvious that they are here to pay their respects.
The two of them walked up the stairs and rang the doorbell. Almost immediately, an echo in the door: "Yes?"
The door was pulled by someone to block the lights from the room: "Is this Mr. Meghan Taser's home?"
"Yes," the big man's eyes flashed across Jack's face and immediately fell on Ai Fei, a guy with an Asian face... Ah, I got it, I heard that Mike (Megan's nickname) is working for a Japanese man, can't it be him?
"We are Mr. Meghan's colleagues, and I'm sorry. Can we get in?"
"Of course, of course." The man went away and let the two of them enter the house. Drink! There were so many people inside. The same white man, some tall and short, some fat and some thin. He was probably about the same age as Meghan, and I don't know what their relationship was.
The man who opened the door to them nodded to the two of them: "Hello, I am Manny Hughes, Megan's brother-in-law."
"Hello, hello." The two shook hands with Manny and reported their names to each other.
"Mr. Ike?" Manny had no disgust towards him. Maybe he knew that Ai Fei had taken the money to treat the other party: "Thank you for coming."
"This is what it should be." Ai Fei smiled reluctantly: "As a colleague of Mr. Meghan, I think I need to visit you once. Oh, I have not been in your country for a long time and I don't know some etiquette very well. So, according to our country's customs, I prepared a ritual for you. Please accept it."
"Eh?" Such a custom is indeed different from what Americans are used to accept. If you are willing to accept it, the other party has taken it out, and he also made it clear that it was based on Japanese etiquette. If you are willing to take it over, it is not very suitable. After hesitation, Ai Fei had already put the money in his hands: "Then... well, I will tell Meghan about this."
"So. I need my help. Just say that I will help as much as possible."
"Thank you, Mr. Ike. I think you have provided us with great help. Oh, please come in, I'll introduce you to you." Manny took the two people into the living room and introduced them one by one. It turned out that these people were Meghan's comrades-in-arms back then, and now friends - of course, they were all a group of people living in New York City. There were some other people, but because the distance was relatively far, I was afraid I couldn't come here.
There was a Japanese suddenly in the room, which made these comrades who had shared life and death on the battlefield feel a little uncomfortable. After all, just as Meghan thought, they had beaten them back then and now they wanted to gather with them. I can't mention the sadness in my heart! The scene became very embarrassing, and Jack, who was also an American, ignored it.
Ai Fei felt the abnormal atmosphere and did not stop for a long time: "Mr. Manny, I think I'd better say goodbye to my colleague."
"Oh no, Mr. Ike, please wait a moment, okay? Mike will be back soon."
"No, I came here just to express my condolences to Mr. Meghan. I will not stay for the purpose. Goodbye, gentlemen."
"..." The people around her didn't talk to her. They just held the wine glass politely. They were rude and even pretended not to hear it. It was not until Manny sent them to the door that he had the opportunity to apologize: "Mr. Ike, I'm very sorry, Mike's friend, for some reasons... they were very rude to you. Please forgive me."
"It's nothing." Ai Fei smiled: "Believe me, I've seen even more rude treatment. Don't take it to heart. Then, just like that, we're leaving."
The two were about to walk down the steps, a taxi was parked on the side of the road, and the two children quickly came out. The next one was Megan Taser, who was next to him, and there was a lady who couldn't see clearly. "Mr. Eke, Mr. Claire? Why are you here?"
Manny told him the situation and finally took out the ritual that he had just presented: "Mike?"
"Ah..." Megan did have a little military spirit. He didn't say much, just nodded and took the money: "Then. Thank you, Mr. Ike."
Ai Fei saw two children standing beside Megan's legs, one boy and one girl. The boy was older and was leading the girl's hand, blinking her big blue eyes and glanced: "Is this your child? So cute!"
"Jamie, Taren, this is Mr. Ike."
"Good evening, Mr. Ike."
"Good evening, children, do you think it's strange to see Japanese for the first time? What should I do when I look back like this guy who can scare the cow to death?"
"Hehe!" The two children were amused by his words.
"Well, I know it's not very appropriate to joke at such moments, but, children, I just hope you can be happy. I think your mothers will also want to see your happy smiling faces in heaven."
Ai Fei is a very boring guy in life, but whenever he deliberately jokes or wants to say some touching words, it is always very effective, and this time is no exception. The two children's eyes immediately turned red: "Thank you, sir, we will."
After saying hello to his two children, Ai Fei asked Jack for the car keys as if he had remembered something: "The car will be left with you for the time being, and it may be useful in the past few days. Hello, don't collide, otherwise, you will have to pay."
Megan was not polite to him. He took the car keys: "Thank you, sir. I will be very careful."
"That's it, Jack and I are going back. Goodbye. Call me if you need anything."
"Goodnight, sir."
"I wish you and the children good night. Good night, Madam."
I left the car to Meghan, and the two of them could only take a taxi home. Fortunately, Jack's house is not far from Ai Fei's house, so I can take a car with me: "Mr. Ike, have you always been so kind?"
"Of course not." Ai Fei lit a cigarette in the dark carriage: "I am very vicious in Japan. This is mainly the United States. As a foreigner, the first thing I have to do to survive here is to be kind to others, so I have been suppressing my animal nature. By the way, Jack, don't mess with me!"
The young man laughed and said, "You can't."
"Yes, of course I won't." Ai Fei also smiled.
"Mr. Ike, are you really going to marry Ms. Aiguchi?"
"Even if a Japanese want to marry an American, it's too difficult, right? I don't want to see someone downstairs holding a sign protesting at the office window, which says: 'Get out of the yellow monkey!'. So, the Japanese became my first choice."
"But, what about your age?"
"Age is not as big as you think, because some very inherent ideas believe that men should be older than women. In fact, this is the opposite."
"on the contrary?"
"Hey!" Sitting in the taxi, Ai Fei started to show off again: "I think you must also know that women are generally precocious than men due to physiological reasons, right?"
"Yes? Is there any problem?"
"It's like that, Jack, women will have her first menarche in high school or earlier because of special physiological problems. Under the control of such a physiological reason, their spirits will become irritable and their bodies will become uncomfortable. Of course, there will be a little deviation in strength. Therefore, after high school, until they graduate from college and enter society, it is a male-dominated environment. Do you really think that there is no reason for the current society to be dominated by men? Or is it just because this is the norm of the patriarchal society passed down from ancient times? No, this is because of the body and physiological reasons of women."
"...In summary, men continue to develop and evolve in the process of life, while women are relatively slow in this regard. Therefore, I personally think that a perfect couple should be a combination of young men and older women. Of course, this combination is from a theoretical perspective, and more people's choices are the opposite."
Jack smiled: "How could you... know so much?"
"It's very simple, because my brain is driven by a hamster on wheels. It's not very similar to ordinary people."
"Hahaha!" Jack and the driver laughed at the same time.
He returned to Lesing Street with a joke and made money. Ai Fei made money and walked into the apartment gate: "Ah!"
Kato Qian stood up with a smile and bowed: "I suddenly came to the door to disturb you so late, please forgive me!"
Ai Fei never expected Kato Maei to appear at his home in the United States, and he couldn't say a single word: "You...you.you?"
Yumiya Jingzi walked out of the kitchen with coffee: "Are you back? Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey! This time I came to the United States, because it was a temporary decision, so I came to the door without saying hello to you in advance. Please forgive me."
He even forgot to return the gift: "Where, where. Please sit down."
Ayumiya Iko was like an extremely skilled hostess: "Please sit down, Kato, I have never seen you again since I met in China last year. Later, when I returned to China, I realized that you had resigned. I feel so sorry!"
"Hey! People like me who have never chosen to leave suddenly. Looking back, it is the most courageous thing I have ever done! Oh, I should also thank Ai Jun for his willful tolerance for me."
"Where, I always think that men who are 50 years old have the right to be selfish once."
"Haha..." Kato Qianchi smiled: "Ai Jun, this time I come, I want to ask you for help."
"Very...well, Arimiya, pour me a cup of coffee, Kato kun, let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Hi! Come soon."
So Ai Fei and Kato Qianyi sat on the sofa respectively: "How about it, Kato, how about your current job...?"
"Hey! After leaving the company, through the invitation of an old classmate of mine, I am now serving as a free position in the General Affairs Department."
"General Affairs Department?" Ai Fei was shocked: "It's great! Is it the General Affairs Department of the Government?"
"Hi! But it's just a free job, responsible for some very trivial daily work, and some things have made me feel a headache. Well, I won't talk about my business, let's go to the United States with Nomura Kwan. Of course, there are some other personnel, the main purpose is to choose some commonly used models for the new airport that will start operating in the second half of next year. Well, with Boeing in the United States."
"Awesome! Kato-kun is now starting an international business?"
"Where is it! If it is said that international business is also Ai Jun's strength. An old man like me is just an assistant to others. Can you believe it? A 55-year-old assistant? Ha! It's simply...crazy!"
“Is this your choice?”
"Yes, my choice. Do you know? Ai Jun, I didn't know until now that my life in the company has developed my lazy personality for a long time. Now I suddenly leave. You don't know how much effort it took to get up from bed every morning! I don't even have time to talk to Lianzi now."
Faced with such words, Ai Fei could only choose to remain silent: Who told you to resign? What happened to someone forcing you?
Kato Maeichi also thought of the problem in his words and smiled concealedly: "Ai Jun, this time when I come to the United States, in addition to preparing to discuss and sign an aircraft purchase contract with the United States, there is another very important task, which depends on your strength."
"My power? What does it mean?"
“Clothing design.”
“Eh?”
After Kato's previous explanation, Ai Fei knew what was going on. After nearly two years of hard work in the United States, his name has not only been launched in New York, but also in the United States, but even in Japan. There have been countless people paying attention to him. God knows that the Japanese have never made any achievements in such a world dominated by Westerners!
Although he returned to China several times, he never had a deep understanding of his name's current status among Japanese citizens. Speaking of which, after the painful lessons of World War II, the Japanese really needed a name that could be called internationally to boost morale. So he happened to appear and become the chosen guy!
This time, Kato came to the United States, in addition to the purchase of the plane, he wanted to ask him to help design uniforms for the airlines that are about to be put into operation and the staff in need! In the eyes of Kato, some people, this job is more than the real estate bidding that he is not very familiar with - yes Kato, Kato, also noticed that some news about Ai Shi Construction Company's acquisition of the airport expansion project tender this time - it's even more convenient!
So, with Kato's previous recommendation - ridiculously, this was a choice they made without seeing Ai Fei - several people took this opportunity to come to the United States and asked him to design a set of clothes that could completely represent the national and national character of Japan!
After listening to Kato's previous explanation, Ai Fei hesitated for a while: "Kato, I am very grateful for your recommendation to me, but I think I may not be able to do this job.
