Chapter 1246 1346. Gratitude
The Sakurai family and the Nishinomiya family arrived in Kyoto on the 26th. Nie Wei also specially sent a staff member who knew Japanese to take the two families for a good tour of Kyoto, visiting several scenic spots and eating Had a meal of roast duck.
As the capital of China, these people are very curious about everything here.
"I came here about fourteen years ago because of a business trip arranged by the company." During lunch, Nishimiya's father couldn't help but lament the changes in Kyoto in the past ten years: "Ten or four years ago, because of China's successful bid for the Olympics, many places here have During the renovation, I felt that the city’s transportation was very inconvenient, and the city’s construction was far worse than ours.”
"I thought at the time the gap between the two cities might not be bridgeable at all, but now I see I was wrong."
"China's progress is really incredible, especially in the past five years. China's Internet has even surpassed Europe and the United States, leading the world. Look at that magical mobile payment, which is not even popular in our country. But In this city, even street vendors are using it.”
"I have been to Europe, the Americas, and Africa. I feel that in terms of urban convenience, China does the best." Nishimiya's father said with deep emotion.
"Ayako, how about we just take a trip to this country after thanking our benefactor this time?" Nishimiya's father suddenly asked his wife beside him.
Nishimiya Ayako was very surprised because her husband had never mentioned the trip to her. This was obviously a temporary idea of her husband.
But after thinking about it, she finally nodded. Seeing this, Nishimiya's father smiled.
He suddenly mentioned traveling. On the one hand, he was really interested in the huge changes in China in the past ten years and wanted to travel more and learn more about the country. On the other hand, he also did not want his wife to return home immediately and continue to be immersed in the grief of her daughter's death. Among them, a trip can at least relax you and relieve your inner depression.
Sakurai was very envious when she heard that, and looked at her parents, obviously hoping that her parents could take her to play in China for a few more days. Unfortunately, her parents completely ignored Sakurai's expectant eyes.
This is caused by differences in family environment.
Sakurai's parents are just ordinary office workers. It is already a huge burden to support Sakurai in private school. If he wants to travel again, the company will not be able to explain it, and secondly, it is not financially allowed.
Just like this time when they came to China, the round-trip air tickets and the hotel they stayed in were all provided by Nie Wei. If they really had to pay for it themselves, Sakurai's trip to the music festival might be ruined.
The Nishimiya family is different. Nishimiya Ayako is a full-time wife, and her husband is a middle-level manager of a multinational company. Her income alone far exceeds the combined income of Sakurai's parents, and because of her position, it is more difficult to ask for leave. Easier.
Sakurai was a little disappointed, but he was quickly attracted by the newly served food and forgot about his disappointment.
Kyoto's roast duck is famous all over the world. Almost every celebrity who comes to Kyoto must try roast duck. Just like if you don't climb the Great Wall, you are not a hero. It has long become an internationally renowned business card of Kyoto.
So for this arrangement, Nie Wei specially invited these two families to taste the authentic Kyoto roast duck.
A Kyoto roast duck can be sliced into about ninety pieces under the knife of a skilled duck slicer. Place the duck meat and shredded green onions on the lotus leaf pancake, then apply Kyoto's unique sweet noodle sauce and wrap it on top. Put the cake into your mouth in one bite.
The chewy texture of the noodles, the sweet and spicy aroma of shredded green onions and sauce, coupled with the juicy and fragrant duck meat, the taste immediately conquered everyone in the family.
After finishing the last meal, Sakurai ate a whole duck alone, and finally walked out of the hotel door holding on to his waist and licking his belly.
Sakurai's parents covered their faces and lowered their heads, feeling that it was too embarrassing for their daughter to go out. How could a girl be so good at eating?
Nishimiya's father, on the other hand, admired Sakurai very much and said with a smile: "No wonder Sakurai can grow so fast and be as tall as me. To use a Chinese saying, this is called being able to eat is a blessing."
"Yes, Sakurai-chan must be a very blessed child." Nishimiya Ayako looked at Sakurai dotingly, echoing her husband's words.
She liked this girl from the bottom of her heart. This was the child who could fill the void in her heart after she lost her daughter. During these difficult days recently, Nishimiya Ayako felt that she had really received a lot of help from Sakurai.
So she didn't really like the carefree Sakurai at first, but at this moment, she found Sakurai pleasing to her eyes.
"Thank you both for your blessings." Sakurai's parents quickly thanked them.
We saw Bauhinia City in the morning, had roast duck for lunch, and in the afternoon we took the two families to visit Beiyang Park. Then at the request of the Nishinomiya family, we went to the nearby Guangji Temple to burn incense and worship for their deceased daughter, praying that she would be able to survive. Early arrival to bliss.
In the evening, the tour guide took everyone to a private restaurant.
"Mr. Nie has just finished a meeting and is on his way over. He will arrive in about half an hour." The tour guide said to the two families before getting off the car.
Hearing Nie Wei's name, the excitement on Sakurai's face could not be suppressed. What was interesting to the Nishimiya family was that Sakurai's mother was also very excited. Unexpectedly, both mother and daughter were fans of Nie Wei.
Of course, this is not surprising.
Regarding Nie Wei, the Nishinomiya family only knew that Nie Wei was a rich man and a great director. However, after getting to know him more deeply, they found out that he was once a popular actor.
They have even filmed many well-known movies, and the two couples have even watched them. However, neither of them are star-struck fans, and they only watch movies for a small amount of money, so they did not seriously remember who Nie Wei was at the time.
In addition to being an actor, the Nishimiya couple were also surprised to find that Nie Wei was also a music producer.
Miss Alan, who lives in the villa next to their home, has many familiar songs written and composed by him. Even in the Nishinomiya couple's music playlist, you can find a lot of songs written and composed by Nie Wei.
There is also "League of Legends", which has been popular on the Internet for ten years, planned by Nie Wei. He also planned popular variety shows in Asia "Infinite Challenge", "We Got Married" and so on.
After checking Nie Wei's information, the couple was speechless for a long time. It was only after reading it that they realized how powerful and talented their benefactor was.
Therefore, in addition to being in awe of Nie Wei's identity and grateful for Nie Wei's help, the Nishimiya couple also admired Nie Wei's personal talent.
On the contrary, the Sakurai mother and daughter, who seemed very excited now, were just ordinary fans who simply regarded Nie Wei as a star. The calm Nishimiya couple on the side actually longed to meet Nie Wei in their hearts. It’s gratitude, and there are more emotions in it.
Half an hour later, Nie Wei arrived at the private restaurant as scheduled. When he entered, he saw two families sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
The main focus of this private restaurant is home-cooked food, and the restaurant itself is a residential house hidden in a unit building. The owner of the restaurant bought an upper and lower house and usually lives upstairs, while all the guests are downstairs.
Like other private restaurants, everyone here usually eats whatever the restaurant aunt cooks, but Nie Wei has been here many times and has long been familiar with her, so she can order more dishes as she pleases.
For example, today Nie Wei ordered an extra portion of cherry meat and meat egg rolls on the original table. The other dishes include sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, steamed sea bass, wolfberry pig's trotter soup, leek and eggs, There are twelve dishes in total such as hot and sour potato shreds and so on.
When Nie Wei entered the room, he immediately attracted the attention of the two families. Nishinomiya and his wife hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Nie Wei with a plop, startling Nie Wei who had just stretched out his hand to shake hands.
"Mr. Nie Wei, for your help to our little daughter, we and I will always be grateful for your great kindness." Nishinomiya's father kowtowed to Nie Wei on behalf of his daughter. Mrs. Nishinomiya beside her also expressed her sincere gratitude to Nie like her husband. only.
Whether it was helping their daughter vent her anger or providing legal assistance to their family, the Nishimiyas were extremely grateful for these.
"You two, please get up quickly. I will feel very awkward if you are like this." Nie Wei smiled and helped the two of them up, and said, "I only tried my best. I am very sorry for the injustice and grievance your daughter has suffered." ”
"Nanako knows in heaven that she has brothers and sisters like you and Alan, as well as enthusiastic Sakurai classmates who are missing her. I believe she will feel happy." Nishimiya Ayako wiped the tears from her eyes and said, her husband beside her gently He hugged his sobbing wife and whispered comfort to her.
"Madam, my condolences." Nie Wei was silent for a moment and consoled her.
He is very indifferent to life and death. After all, he is a person who has died once, and he has been on the edge of life and death many times in his last life. Perhaps the death of relatives and friends around him can make him feel truly sad, but like Nishimiya Nie Wei was actually not very sad about such a strange girl, and even felt a little unworthy for the girl.
The girl gave up her life too easily, and it was all over, but the pain was left to the people closest to her. Without Nie Wei, her death would have been meaningless. In addition to causing pain to her relatives, those who really gave her pain Instead, he didn't suffer much damage.
I don’t know if Nishimiya would jump down to end his life if he knew that the value of his jump was so low.
Nie Wei concealed her inner thoughts and smiled as she invited the two families to sit down at the dining table. As Nie Wei arrived, delicacies were served one after another on the table.
After finishing the meal, Sakurai obviously ate too much again.
"Chinese food is really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food since I was a child. It is also so rich. Only when I came to China did I know that pork and fish can also be cooked in this way. I exclaimed this day It feels like more than in the past half year." Sakurai couldn't stop making excuses for eating too much.
In front of Nie Wei, she finally regained some sense of shame. In fact, before the meal, she was prepared to act like a lady. Unfortunately, the food was so delicious that she could not resist the temptation. In the end, it tasted really good.
"It doesn't matter. Your ability to grow so tall probably has a lot to do with your good appetite. If you like to eat Chinese food, I can recommend you some authentic Chinese restaurants in your local area. You can go there if you are hungry. If you eat there, you can just charge it to Alan’s company’s account.”
"This is too expensive." Upon hearing this, Sakurai's parents quickly refused.
It's not that Nie Wei had any ill intentions, it was just that this gift was too valuable and they couldn't bear it. Nie Wei smiled and said nothing, just winked at Sakurai.
After seeing Nie Wei's blink, he also blinked with laughter, and immediately understood what Nie Wei meant, and felt that this interaction was extremely interesting.
"After you two watch the music festival, do you want to travel around China?" Nie Wei asked Xiang Xigong and his wife again.
When Nishimiya's father heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your suggestion is exactly what we want to do. In the morning, I told Caizi that I wanted to travel in China and appreciate the style of a great country. In the past ten years, China has really undergone earth-shaking changes, which amazed me."
"I believe my country will not disappoint you." Nie Wei introduced with a smile: "This month, you can go south from Kyoto to see the Magic City, then go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to appreciate the bustle of the Flower City, and you can also go to Sanya, where there are also world-class beaches, as well as the gathering places of ethnic minorities such as the Snow District, Xinjiang District, and Miao District, to experience the local characteristics. If you stay in China until winter, you can also go to the Northeast District in the north. The snow scene there has a different artistic conception from your country's Hokkaido."
"Your words make me look forward to this trip even more." Nishimiya's father thanked.
Nie Wei was in a hurry to leave after dinner. The two families did not try to keep him again and again, because they all knew that Nie Wei was a busy man and it was not easy to find time to have this meal.
On the way back to the hotel, the two families all spoke well of Nie Wei. It was really that Nie Wei's arrangements were so considerate and thorough, especially the Nishimiya family, who even felt a little ashamed. Apart from the kneeling to express gratitude, their entire trip was completely taken care of by Nie Wei.
"Brother Nie Wei is so amazing, we can't think of what he lacks. All we can do is cheer for him with all our might when he performs on the stage of the music festival the day after tomorrow." Sakurai said.
This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone. Nie Wei lacked nothing. Even if he lacked something, there was a high probability that the two families could not do it. It would be better to do their best to support Nie Wei as Sakurai said and convey their gratitude.
Time passed unknowingly, and finally it was July 28th.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Starry Square welcomed more than ten buses, and a total of more than 500 police officers and security guards were stationed in advance to do a good job of security for the music festival.
After all, it was a large gathering of more than 100,000 people, and conflicts and accidents were likely to occur. In addition to police officers and security guards, there were more than 20 ambulances on standby, and nearly 50 emergency doctors mobilized from major hospitals in Kyoto.
In addition, there were thousands of staff members stationed in various places. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Starry Square opened to thousands of people, all of whom were the stall owners of nearly 2,000 stalls in the Starry Square.
In addition to these 2,000 stalls, there were also 200 official peripheral stalls on site, selling cheering banners, light sticks and other products.
Thanks to Gu Wugua for his generous 500 reward.
