As everyone sat in the reception room, Liu Cheng whispered, "They're being way too polite. It's clear they value us a lot; they kept apologizing earlier."
"They are very polite, and the whole society has an atmosphere of not wanting to cause trouble for others," the translator said from the side.
"They know small manners but lack great principles!" Lu Feng added from the side.
"They clearly have no intention of cooperating. We're just sitting here waiting, and having a meal won't change anything," Jin Tingting sighed. "We can't just block the door and wait like we do back home, can we?"
"That was all just polite talk. The real show is about to begin." Lu Feng said to her, "She's manipulating this lab just for her own benefit. There are some things that aren't convenient to say here."
A dozen minutes later, everyone came downstairs, where Yui Kurai was already waiting. She was wearing a chunky knit sweater on top and a linen-colored winter skirt on the bottom, with flesh-colored stockings that reached her knees. Despite being in her thirties, she still looked quite youthful.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." Yui Kurai bowed slightly in apology.
"It's alright, it's just a meal together as friends. Let's go, the restaurant reservation is already made," Lu Feng said to her.
"You're treating? I'm so embarrassed!" Yui Kurai said, somewhat surprised.
"It's alright, we also want to experience the local customs and culture. Besides, as the richest man in mainland China, an outstanding young entrepreneur, and the number one person in the domestic electronics industry, it's only natural that President Lu is treating us." Liu Cheng said without batting an eye, "President Lu also has a nickname, the Bill Gates of China, but I think even Gates is a bit insignificant in front of him. I've said so much, why don't you translate it!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" The translator realized what was happening and hurriedly started talking in English.
After hearing this, Yui Kurai was greatly shocked and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Yoshi, so bad, you're dead!!"
"You're a deadbeat too, you're a deadbeat too, it's all small change, let's go." Lu Feng said, gesturing for them to leave, and walked towards the car.
Jin Tingting was stunned when she saw these people, especially Liu Cheng. In her eyes, Liu Cheng was an honest and kind man. He was almost forty years old and always appeared with a steady and reliable image.
But when he was saying those things just now, it went so smoothly that if Jin Tingting hadn't known what Lu Feng's situation was like in China, she would have believed his lies!
Liu Cheng was indeed honest and kind in the past, but under Lu Feng's influence, that was all in the past.
Due to the economic downturn, job opportunities at the bottom have decreased, the housing bubble has burst, and many ordinary people are burdened with huge mortgages. The value of houses has been halved, prompting the rise of various forms of escort services. Today's pubs are essentially brothels.
This restaurant, called Roppongi, is considered the largest "specialty" restaurant in Kyoto, covering nearly 300 acres. The overall architecture is mainly based on local ancient buildings, which are actually modified Tang Dynasty buildings with huge umbrella-shaped roofs. A group of girls in kimonos greet guests at the entrance.
Ordinary people passing by might think this is a protected historical building area, but it's actually a tavern that requires reservations.
The car stopped at the entrance, and several men came over, opened the car door, and several girls in kimonos who were in charge of greeting guests stepped forward, bowed at a 90-degree angle, and said "Welcome."
After getting out of the car, Lu Feng glanced at the surroundings and found them quite nice. Yui Kurai got out of the car, slightly taken aback that Lu Feng had brought her here.
"Please come in, I'm here to broaden my horizons too!" Lu Feng said politely.
"Lu Fengjun, this place is so expensive, and besides, it has some...it's not really suitable for me," Yui Kurai said, waving her hand awkwardly.
"No need to be polite, it's my treat. Don't worry, whether the acquisition goes through or not is not important. What's important is meeting a female friend like you!" Lu Feng looked her up and down and said with a smile, "I'm very enthusiastic when it comes to female friends, just like a certain warlord in history. Do you know Cao Cao?"
"Cao Cao-san?" Yui Kurai's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.
I, Lu Feng, know that the Three Kingdoms is very popular here, and many people have a basic understanding of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yui Kurai said with a big smile, "Then I thank Mr. Lu Feng for his hospitality, but I still want to say that none of this has anything to do with the acquisition."
"No, no, don't worry. I just felt an instant connection with you when I saw you, especially since your name reminded me of two people, which made me quite emotional. Let's go inside first," Lu Feng said politely.
I must say the service here is really good. From the moment you enter the main entrance, someone leads the way. All the waiters here are humble and bow their backs. After walking through a long corridor, when you enter the interior, two girls kneel at the door, holding wooden clogs in their hands, and personally help you change your shoes.
Lu Feng could only sigh inwardly, realizing how adept they were at taming and oppressing the lower classes.
"How much does this thing cost?" Lu Feng asked Liu Cheng in a low voice.
"I don't know either, I just made the arrangements, saying to find a high-end one!" Liu Cheng muttered; "Damn it, I don't think it'll be cheap."
Jin Tingting listened from the side and wanted to laugh. Just a moment ago, he was acting like a big shot, saying that he was the richest man in the mainland and that Bill Gates was no match for him. Now he was acting like he was being stingy with money.
Inside was a private room. The sliding door led to a tatami room with a table on it. After a lot of polite conversation, several girls in kimonos came in and handed over two menus.
