Chapter 2553 Two CEOs in an Island Country

Chapter 2349 Two CEOs in the island country

During this period of coming to the island country, Li Lindong was most impressed by the women here. They are generally gentle, and there are few female men who are popular in China recently.

According to Li Lindong's thinking, the women here are all like a punching bag. They have to apologize to others when they are beaten and bullied, and they can't even speak loudly.

The more this is the case, the more Li Lindong feels pity and a desire to protect him. Otherwise, with his personality, he would not have the impulse today.

After all, this is a foreign country, and he is the head of a company. His image will be affected.

"My name is Youxiang, please take care of me!"

Youxiang's facial features are very delicate, and she is as petite as her figure. Her pair of phoenix eyes dare not look at Li Lindong, but just bow her head to salute.

The people of the company came out and welcomed Li Lindong in. The company's lawyers also arrived. They need to deal with the follow-up matters. After all, people were beaten and injured, which is also a criminal case.

After the matter was handled, Li Lindong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was hungry and might have wasted some energy in beating people.

Originally, the company's leaders all ate in the cafeteria, and the company's three meals a day were all good. But today, Li Lindong suddenly didn't want to eat in the company, so he walked out.

When he came to the yard, he didn't drive, mainly because he didn't have a Japanese driver's license, and he didn't know if the domestic driver's license could be used here.

He stopped a taxi and told the driver that he was going to eat, and then he didn't talk anymore, mainly because he didn't know many languages. "Missimi" was learned from the anti-Japanese war movies.

The driver was also a wonderful person. He didn't ask him anything in detail. He drove a long way and came to a street in the city with some ancient buildings.

One advantage of the island country is that the environment and sanitation are better. This is not because there are many cleaners, but because the residents spontaneously maintain the surrounding environment and sanitation.

Most of the people you see picking up garbage and sweeping the floor on the street are voluntary labor. You can hardly see professional cleaning staff.

The small street is very narrow, with shops on both sides, ancient and quaint, a bit similar to the antique buildings being built in China.

In fact, the island country's writing is similar to Chinese characters, and their writing was originally passed down from the Tang Dynasty. So, the pronunciation may be different, but the meaning is still similar.

This street is almost full of pubs and bars, and some of them have streetwalkers wearing kimonos at the door, inviting customers to come in for a drink from time to time.

Li Lindong is not interested in such places. He just wants to try the food here, not the seemingly island cuisine in China.

A sign caught his attention because there was a flag hanging at the door with a traditional Chinese character "noodles" on it. It was like the sign of a shop in ancient times.

Pushing the door in, Li Lindong was stunned because his eyes met with a familiar pair of eyes, and it turned out to be Youxiang.

She was still wearing the same work clothes, but this time she was wearing an apron, sleeves, and a white catering hat.

Seeing someone coming in, she habitually bowed and greeted, "You are here, please sit down."

But before she finished speaking, she found that it was Li Lindong who came in, and she was stunned.

This noodle shop is very small, only 20 square meters at most. Apart from the kitchen, there is only a row of tables outside against the kitchen partition.

There were a dozen stools next to the table, which meant that only so many people could sit there. Normally, Li Lindong would have turned away when he saw such a narrow place.

After all, a restaurant that was set up like a bar, with people eating around the bar, was not something he could adapt to. It was too cramped.

But since Youxiang was here, he felt embarrassed to leave. After all, she had already greeted him.

Li Lindong nodded and was welcomed in by her to sit on a stool. The stools were all round and had small surfaces. If they were replaced with chairs, it would be inconvenient to get in and out. The place was too small.

There were quite a few people in the room at this time, and the dozen stools were almost full. At least there was some distance between the stools, otherwise the neighbors would probably have to fight over their arms when they were eating with chopsticks.

"Hey, please have a drink!"

Li Lindong was thinking about what to eat. Youxiang had already brought a glass of beer and put it on his table.

Li Lindong was thirsty, so he picked it up and drank it all. The people around him looked at him with some surprise, and he realized that they were all sipping.

Li Lindong was a little speechless. He could actually taste this thing. He was originally from the Northeast and had been in the military reclamation city for decades. For him, beer was like water, used to quench thirst.

Just as he was about to order, Youxiang had already brought two plates of side dishes, a plate of beef and a plate of vegetable salad. Li Lindong grinned. Isn't this too exquisite? It only takes a big mouthful in total.

But he was too embarrassed to ask. Youxiang took away the beer glass, and then brought another glass of wine, bowing in the same way:

"Hey, please drink!"

Because there was no bottle, Li Lindong didn't know what kind of wine it was, but judging from the color, it should be white wine.

He picked up a piece of beef, and the taste was actually good, but it was a little bland, not the taste of braised beef, and the meat was relatively tender.

As for the lettuce salad, it was definitely not mixed with salad dressing, and basically had no taste. It was no different from eating white water vegetables.

Li Lindong picked up the wine glass and took a sip like others, and then he knew what kind of wine it was, the white wine of the island country, sake.

To him, this thing was no different from beer, so he drank it all in one gulp. It didn't even taste as good as beer.

Youxiang seemed to have been paying attention to him. Seeing this guy finish a glass of wine in one gulp, her mouth opened in surprise.

The people around him were also surprised. How much alcohol can this guy drink? How dare he drink like this?

He finished two dishes in a few mouthfuls and touched his stomach. There was no reaction. It was not much different from not eating. Li Lindong was a little depressed. He had been here for so many days. Because he was busy, he ate in the cafeteria. He could serve himself and had no idea about the amount.

Seeing several people around drinking, eating a mouthful of food and drinking a mouthful of wine, without communicating, and looking contented, Li Lindong felt that the Japanese were a little lonely.

Drinking is a lively thing in China. Without three or five relatives and friends, who would go to a restaurant to drink by themselves? Unless they encountered a sad thing. It seems that there are more sad people here!

There was only an old lady busy in the kitchen. From time to time, she glanced at Li Lindong and whispered something to Youxiang. Youxiang's little face suddenly turned red.

After a while, she came out again, carrying a plate of salmon sashimi and a small plate of sashimi.

Li Lindong looked worried. As a group boss, he had seen sashimi before, but he couldn't accept eating raw fish.

But since they brought it to him, he couldn't refuse it, right? He was still muttering in his heart, isn't this a noodle shop? Where are the noodles? No one around has anything to eat? They are all drinking.

Youxiang took out another bottle of wine from his pocket. Although the bottle was not big, it was better than grabbing one cup after another, right? This person was a little comforting to Li Lindong.

Youxiang went to get the cup, Li Lindong unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, and then coughed a few times.

This is a bit unscientific? How can Japan still have such a strong wine? The taste is still very familiar, similar to the domestic high-proof liquor.

Li Lindong is a cadre who has been tested by alcohol. This feeling is right, and he is happy inside. Right, this is wine.

He picked up the bottle and took another big sip, and breathed a sigh of relief, comfortable.

Youxiang came back with the wine glass, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Half of the bottle was gone. What was the use of this glass? But at this time, Li Lindong was carefully dealing with salmon slices. With the help of the smoothie, the pink fish slices emitted white water vapor, which was quite beautiful.

Carefully picked up a piece, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in his mouth. It was cool, a little sweet, and the salty taste of the seasoning seemed acceptable.

He took another sip of wine, spicy, and it felt a bit interesting. But why are the things in the island country so small? This small bottle is not enough to drink?

He waved to Youxiang: "Three more bottles."

He saw that this bottle was about 300-400 grams, and drinking one catty should be about the same, after all, it is still lower than the purity of sorghum.

He was a little tired these days. He worked day and night when he arrived here. As a boss, he couldn't show any sign of being listless.

Now that things have finally come to an end, he wants to relax, not let his subordinates see, go to a strange place, and face a group of strangers. Don't worry about showing any weakness.

Youxiang glanced at her grandmother. Her parents died early, and she was raised by her grandmother. This girl is sensible and has been able to take care of herself since high school.

Although her grandmother runs this small shop, it can only earn a living because the shop is small and the price is not high.

This year, Youxiang was admitted to the University of Tokyo. The tuition and living expenses are not cheap, so she works as a cleaner at Honda during the day and helps her grandmother run the shop at night. It is very tiring after a day.

Hearing that Li Lindong wants three bottles of shochu, Youxiang stuck out her tongue and looked at her grandmother. In fact, the Japanese have great work pressure. Many men don't want to go home after get off work and often drink too much in the tavern.

Youxiang's grandmother is kind-hearted. When she meets such guests, she will not continue to sell them alcohol, but patiently persuade them to go home.

As soon as Li Lindong came in today, Youxiang told her what happened during the day. Youxiang's grandmother didn't ask Li Lindong to order the dishes, but served them directly to him. She just wanted to treat him and repay him for saving her granddaughter during the day.

Although Li Lindong is over fifty, he looks handsome. He is not greasy like a middle-aged man, but mature and wise.

Grandma Youxiang liked him at first sight. This country does not care too much about age. Grandparents and grandchildren are very common, not to mention Li Lindong. So she teased her granddaughter to be brave and not be soft when she sees a man she likes.

Li Lindong wanted wine, but Youxiang didn't dare to give it to him, mainly because there was too much. Grandma nudged her with her elbow:

"Send it. If a man doesn't get drunk, a woman has no chance."

Youxiang's little face was red as if it was about to drip blood. She didn't dare to look at Li Lindong with three bottles of wine. She put it down and ran away.

Seeing the little girl like this, Li Lindong's heart was shaken. The feelings that had not fluctuated since marriage seemed to be awakened by the wind of the island country.

Seeing him drinking like this, several people around him began to chat with him. Although their language was stuttering, they could gesture!

They drank like their appetite, they loved to drink, but they didn't drink much.

Li Lindong is a generous person. Although he can't communicate pleasantly with words, he can communicate with others about drinks, right?

So he took the bottle and started pouring wine for the people around him. Isn't it just drinking? Tobacco and alcohol are inseparable.

In fact, friends in the island country go out to eat and drink together. Where have you seen such a generous person? This is obviously a treat. There is no way to pay even if you pay alone.

When they knew that he was Chinese, they gave him a thumbs up and praised him.

Li Lindong saw this and started drinking happily. He drank generously. He poured a glass down and drank it all in one gulp. Where have the islanders seen people drinking like this? For a moment, they were full of admiration.

How could one hold back three bottles of wine? After a while, the wine was almost empty. Seeing other people drinking a glass of wine and wasted time, Li Lindong became impatient and started asking for more wine.

This time, grandma didn't say anything. She was a little unhappy. She thought, "It's right for me to treat you, but you can't just use my wine to pay for it, right?"

Youxiang looked at grandma and Li Lindong, who kept waving. She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and picked up two more bottles of shochu and walked over.

Seeing her bring the wine over, Li Lindong smiled and took out a stack of Japanese yen from his pocket and handed it to her:

"I'll pay for all these people today."

Youxiang didn't understand what he meant at first, but she was very smart. Seeing him take out so much money and pointing at other people, she repeated it.

The people around her understood what she said in Japanese. They had already drunk other people's wine, so how could they let them pay for the meal? They all paid the bill. One generous buddy also paid for Li Lindong's bill.

Although the money was a bit much, it was painful and heartbreaking. But we can't embarrass the Japanese, they are foreigners!

Li Lindong didn't understand what they were doing? He insisted on putting the money into Youxiang's hand and started drinking again.

The noodles finally came, and the amount was not small, but Li Lindong's appetite was not enough. But after drinking too much, it was enough.

At this time, he was already getting drunk, mainly because the wine tasted nothing, but it had a strong aftertaste, and Li Lindong was not used to it.

After eating and drinking, a group of people said hello and left. They were all old customers. They would nod at most when they met, but because of Li Lindong's bottles of wine, they broke the boundary today and chatted very speculatively.

Japanese men are tired. In this era, once married, women become housewives. Men have to bear the cost of supporting their wives and children, and dare not slack off.

When they are not satisfied with their work and have conflicts with their superiors, they dare not go home and tell their wives. They will find a place to drink a few glasses to calm down before going back.

And Youxiang's grandmother's place is cheap and tastes good, so this is the place they like to come.

Youxiang stood at the door and watched Li Lindong leave. She felt that his steps were a little staggering, so she chased him for a few steps, but when she saw him walking away, she stopped.

Grandma followed him out, looked at her silly granddaughter, shook her head and smiled, and went back. Another customer came.

Li Lindong walked for a while, and he didn't know the way back. He wanted to take a taxi, but he stood on the side of the road for a while, but there was no one. The alcohol was rising, so he sat on a bench on the side of the road.

He just sat for a while, and his head became more and more dizzy, so he just lay down.
