After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's request, Sayuri Yoshinaga smiled slightly.
"No problem, it's easy to say, but..."
"But what?"
Sayuri Yoshinaga smiled again and snuggled directly into Cao Zhiqiang's arms: "But you have to promise me that from now on, you will accompany me at least once a week, okay?"
Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, and subconsciously hugged Sayuri Yoshinaga, who was leaning into his arms: "You and I are in special circumstances. We are both public figures. If we interact too frequently, people will always get caught.
Once our relationship is exposed, you are not afraid of me. "
Sayuri Yoshinaga smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will meet here in the future and meet here.
This private cooking booth belongs to me. It is all membership-based. It only accepts members and does not accept non-members.
Moreover, the employees here are all my confidants and are absolutely reliable. It is impossible for paparazzi to come in and take photos and peek.
Besides, even if you and I are photographed here, it won't be a big deal.
You are a screenwriter and I am an actor. Let's have a meal together and talk about the show. What's the problem?
This is not a hotel, it's just a place to eat. Even if someone sees you and I coming in, it won't be a big problem. "
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang immediately understood.
Indeed, compared to booking a room in a hotel or a big hotel, a private hotel like this is more private and safer.
Because whether it’s a hotel or a hotel, when I think of someone coming here, I think of sleeping and getting a room.
But the restaurant is different.
This is mainly a place to eat. When someone comes here, their first impression is that they are here to eat.
In addition, this is a members-only restaurant. Only members and people brought by members are welcome. Non-members are not accepted, which further limits the number of consumers.
In other words, if there are any paparazzi or the like, they can't get in easily. Even if they get in, they can't come here to take pictures secretly.
In particular, the rooms here are very special, with one layer inside another and many secret doors. If you are not a familiar person, even if you break in, you will not easily find out the real inside story.
For example, now, if Yoshinaga Sayuri hadn't brought him here, he would never have imagined that a private dining room could have so many rooms, and even such a big bathroom inside.
This is a place to eat, and it is obviously a good place for a secret tryst.
And Yoshinaga Sayuri opens such a restaurant, this...
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang felt a hand touching his body. He frowned and immediately grabbed Sayuri Yoshinaga's hand that was walking around on his body: "Senior, what are you doing?"
After her hand was caught, Sayuri Yoshinaga was not shy or annoyed. She simply put her face on Cao Zhiqiang's chest openly: "I feel that you have recovered now, how about you do it again?"
Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and continued to hold her hand and said seriously: "Senior, don't make trouble, let's talk about business."
Sayuri Yoshinaga curled her lips, stared at Cao Zhiqiang and winked playfully: "Okay, okay, you say it, it all depends on you, who made me like you."
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and continued to ask: "Senior..."
"Wait a minute!" Yoshinaga Sayuri suddenly interrupted, "We already have this kind of relationship, so don't call me senpai, call me Sayuri, okay?"
"Not good!" Cao Zhiqiang said with a straight face.
"Why?" Yoshinaga Sayuri flat-mouthed, her face full of cuteness and cuteness.
Needless to say, although she is already a thirty-eight-year-old aunt, she still looks like a child because of her good looks, so even if she acts coquettishly, she does not feel uncomfortable at all.
It would be a car accident if someone with an ugly appearance acted like a spoiled child.
And Yoshinaga Sayuri acted coquettishly towards Cao Zhiqiang, and for some reason, Cao Zhiqiang's desire increased a lot.
Sayuri Yoshinaga was in Cao Zhiqiang's arms at this time, and everyone was naked, so she received Cao Zhiqiang's reaction immediately.
I saw Sayuri Yoshinaga looking at Cao Zhiqiang even more charmingly and saying: "Duplicity, you men are all the same!"
Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath again, quickly pushed Sayuri Yoshinaga away, and then grabbed her shoulders with both hands to prevent her from leaning on him.
"Senior, stop making trouble and talk about business first!" Cao Zhiqiang said sternly, "If you continue like this, I, I'm leaving!"
"Okay, okay!" Sayuri Yoshinaga sat back in the hot water, only exposing the part above her neck, "Okay now, tell me, why can't you call me Sayuri?"
Cao Zhiqiang exhaled, forced down the restlessness in his body, and then said: "Senior, I am doing this for everyone's good."
After a pause, Cao Zhiqiang immersed himself in the hot water again, only exposing the part above his neck, and then continued to explain to Sayuri Yoshinaga: "Senior, I am not you. My acting skills are superb and I can control my emotions and expressions at any time.
If I call you Sayuri, once you get used to it, what will you do if you call me out in front of others?
Therefore, just in case, I will continue to call you senior. This will become a natural habit and it will not be easy to make mistakes even in front of others. "
"It makes sense." Yoshinaga Sayuri nodded, but still frowned and said, "It's just that you always call me senpai and you always feel a bit old. I'm afraid you will dislike me."
Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "No way, senior is so magnificent, how can I dislike it? And calling you senior makes me even more excited. After all, this is also a kind of role-playing.
You should understand what I mean, right? "
Sayuri Yoshinaga rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, then covered her mouth, laughed, and nodded: "You are not a serious person after all!"
Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Senior, you just promised me that you will film well in the future and stop looking for trouble, right?"
Sayuri Yoshinaga put down her hand and smiled: "A promise is a promise, but you haven't promised me yet. You can accompany me at least once a week, okay?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "Senior, you are so beautiful. As a man, of course I am happy to do it. Don't say once a week, just once a day.
But, even if your place is safe, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. It's not that I don't want to, but the conditions don't allow it. "
"Conditions don't allow it? What do you mean?"
"It's simple, because I'm going back to China soon."
Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Yoshinaga Sayuri frowned: "Go back to the country? Okay, why are you going back to the country?
Oh, is it a visa issue? Visa expired?
If so, you don't need to worry.
Although my father no longer works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I still have some experience in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It’s hard to say what’s too difficult, but it shouldn’t be a big problem to get you a long-term residence visa.
After all, you are no longer an ordinary person, but a well-known star.
Although you are Chinese, our relationship with China is very good now, so it should be okay for you to stay. "
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned and took another look at Sayuri Yoshinaga, and then realized again that Sayuri Yoshinaga was not a simple star.
After all, someone who can casually say that he has a way with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and can apply for a residence visa for a Chinese, can he be a simple star?
Not to mention Japan, even a big star in China would not dare to say that he can apply for a visa for a foreigner.
"It's not a visa issue." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "The last time I returned to China, I had already applied for a Japanese work visa. I can stay here for at least one year, so the visa is no problem and has not expired."
"It's not a visa issue." Sayuri Yoshinaga nodded, "What's the reason?"
Cao Zhiqiang said: "Of course it's because of work."
After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang thought about it, and then said with a choice:
"That's it. I don't know if you know it clearly, but I actually have another identity. I am a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise in China. I have also secured an investment in Japan and am planning to cooperate with the company where I work.
At present, this project has passed the preliminary demonstration stage and officially entered the implementation stage. As the leader of this cooperation, I have to go back to participate in certain meetings and supervise the progress of the project.
Although in your opinion, this is a bit formalistic and I don't have to go, but our national conditions are special and whoever pulls the investment is always responsible.
Since I took the lead in that Sino-Japanese cooperation project, I must be responsible to the end.
Now that this project has reached the implementation stage, the leader asked me to rush back to supervise the smooth progress of this project.
Not to mention that I am responsible for this project, even if I want to give up the project, it is impossible.
Because it was my boss who asked me to go back. If I dare not go back, the consequences will be serious. "
"How serious is it?" Sayuri Yoshinaga asked with a frown.
Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said: "Let's put it this way, to be able to stay in Japan, I not only need a visa from you, I also need a passport.
You are responsible for the visa, but we are responsible for the passport.
If I offend a business leader, my passport will be invalidated with just one word from the leader.
By that time, if I don’t have a passport, I will be in trouble and I will never be able to come to Japan again, unless I cross the border illegally. But if I cross the border illegally, I won’t be able to work as openly as I do now.
So, a passport is more troublesome than a visa, do you understand? "
"I see." Sayuri Yoshinaga nodded and sighed, "It seems like you can't help yourself."
"Who says it's not?" Cao Zhiqiang also sighed.
Well, of course these are all excuses.
In fact, the cooperation project between Hongguang Machinery Factory, Taiyo Yuden and Daito Investment Company is the newly established joint venture company "Chaoyang Electronics Co., Ltd."
Although Chaoyang Electronics was founded and led by Cao Zhiqiang, Cao Zhiqiang's presence was not required.
Because Cao Zhiqiang has completed the most important investment demonstration work in the early stage, what is left is the specific implementation stage.
In the specific implementation stage, Cao Zhiqiang does not need to come forward at all, but the cooperation of the people below is needed.
Including Taiyo Yuden's transportation of equipment and raw materials to China, as well as the later establishment of factories in China, debugging equipment, trial production, etc., these are all problems of the specific execution personnel, and Cao Zhiqiang is no longer needed.
However, Cao Zhiqiang knows the specific details, but Sayuri Yoshinaga does not.
No matter how powerful Sayuri Yoshinaga is, she is just a star. At most, she is relatively powerful in the entertainment industry, and she has some connections with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After all, her father once worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even if she later resigned to go into business, she would still have some ways to go.
But she definitely doesn’t understand this specific cross-border cooperation, especially cooperation with China.
Therefore, she didn't just listen to what Cao Zhiqiang said.
"So that's it." Sayuri Yoshinaga nodded, "Your country has such strict regulations, why don't you settle in Japan and become a Japanese citizen.
With your talents and abilities, if you become Japanese and officially develop in Japan, you will definitely achieve better results. "
Cao Zhiqiang was disdainful in his heart, but he said with a smile on the outside: "Just kidding, it's not that easy to get Japanese citizenship, especially since I'm Chinese, it's even harder."
"It depends on people." Sayuri Yoshinaga said, "I believe there must be a way for you to become a Japanese citizen."
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Forget it, let's discuss this issue later. In short, I will return to China soon, and then I will have to stay for a while. I won't be able to come back in the short term.
So, you said that I would accompany you once a week. Although in my opinion, you are actually rewarding me, I really can't do it. "
Sayuri Yoshinaga frowned: "Then how long will it take for you to return to Japan after you return to China?"
"It must take two or three months anyway." Cao Zhiqiang said.
"It takes so long?" Yoshinaga Sayuri frowned.
"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It is a Sino-Japanese joint venture. There are many things to do in all aspects, and it also has to build factories, debug equipment, trial production, etc. If I follow everything, two or three months will be considered short. of."
"How could this happen?" Yoshinaga Sayuri frowned deeply, "Aren't you a singer or a writer? Why are you supervising and running a factory? Isn't this disorderly behavior?"
Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Senior, in your opinion, I am a singer, or a writer, but from the perspective of domestic leaders, singing or writing books are my side jobs and my main job. As a manager of a state-owned enterprise, he must be responsible for the enterprise and make contributions to the enterprise.
In fact, I never expected to become a singer in Japan. I came to Japan for two purposes.
The first purpose is, of course, to inspect projects and attract investment. This is also the fundamental reason why I was able to apply for a passport to go abroad.
The second purpose is to see if there is an opportunity to cooperate with a film company here to bring my first film, which I wrote, directed and starred in, to be broadcast here.
In other words, the two purposes I came here for were not to be in the entertainment industry, nor to be a star.
But during this period, because I had a good relationship with Masashi Sada, and I knew Japanese and was very interested in Japanese culture, and I also liked writing songs, singing and writing articles, I wrote and sang some songs casually.
Masashi Sada felt that the songs I wrote were very good and I could sing them well, so he brought me into the industry.
Originally, I didn’t expect that the Japanese song I randomly wrote would become popular, and I even thought about forming a band with Sada-kun to have fun.
Who would have known that Sada-kun was suddenly hospitalized for recuperation due to worsening liver disease, and I unexpectedly met Senior Minoru Endo, and on his recommendation, I went to Warner Pioneer Records.
The people at Warner thought my work was good, so they tried to give me a single, which was the song "Jun がいるだけで".
Unexpectedly, this song received an enthusiastic response here, with sales exceeding 500,000 copies in the first week.
Because of this incident, Warner decided to praise me and let me continue writing songs and singing.
You also know what happens next.
Since my works continue to be popular here and have reached the top ten list, Warner Bros. has paid more and more attention to me. Not only has it continued to cooperate with me in depth, but it has also decided to help me introduce the movies I shot in mainland China to the broadcast. .
The movie "Love in the Rain" was released under such circumstances.
If it weren't for the help of the boss of Warner, how could I, a little person from China, have so easily introduced the movies I shot in China to major theaters here and caused a sensation.
However, no matter how successful I am here or how famous I am, my roots will always be in mainland China. After all, I am not Japanese.
As long as the leader there says something, I have to go back, otherwise, my passport will be revoked, and then all the achievements I have achieved so far will be in vain.
I say this, do you understand? "
