National Tide 1980.

Although Takahashi Osunori had set a trap, he was proud of his status and would not show up in person. Instead, he appointed a subordinate to act on his behalf.

In fact, on this day, Ning Weimin came to the property office of the office building and found that the people waiting to meet him here, in addition to the property manager who called him, there was also a short, fat man with a thick neck sitting on the sofa.

Although Ning Weimin walked into the room with his lawyer, he did not yet know the identity of this person.

But at the first sight of them meeting each other, Ning Weimin could feel a hidden pressure just by the way the man was staring at him, and realized that the other party was probably a smiling tiger who was difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, through the introduction of the property manager, Ning Weimin learned that the other party was named Takeshi Matsuda, and was a deputy director of the real estate development department of the EIE Group.

It was only then that he was shocked to find that it was the EIE Group that had purchased the commercial building.

This made Ning Weimin start to suspect that not only was today's meeting manipulated by Takahashi Oshinori, but the person who bought the Chixia Club property from Kawamoto Genshiro not long ago was probably also Takahashi Oshinori.

Until the other party opened his mouth and made specific requests, he showed an attitude as arrogant as his master.

Ning Weimin no longer had any doubts at all. He was 100% sure that Takahashi Oshinori was behind these two things, and that the other party came here today with full of malice.

"Oh, that's a bit surprising."

Matsuda Takeshi deliberately said as soon as he opened his mouth, "I heard that this liquor store is run by a very beautiful female president. I thought I could see her face today, but I didn't expect to have the chance to meet her."

"Minister Matsuda is so disappointed, it seems like I am to blame for this?" Ning Weimin said sarcastically.

"No, I'm just curious. I admit that I feel a little regretful. But I've heard of President Ning a long time ago and I admire him. It's the same with you. Come, please sit over here."

Matsuda pointed to a table some distance away from the desk, which could be used to entertain guests or for small meetings. There were four leather chairs on both sides of the long table.

Ning Weimin and his lawyer sat down nearby, and Matsuda's fat body was crammed heavily into the leather chair opposite, with his thighs slightly spread and his hands spread casually on the armrests, looking very imposing.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a female employee walked in quietly with coffee for the guests.

She gently placed the coffee in front of the people in the room and then respectfully retreated.

Matsuda picked up the cup and took a sip without hesitation, and looked at Ning Weimin and his lawyer casually.

At the moment he looked majestic and commanding with a commanding demeanor, which might be his nature or it might be the order of his master.

This attitude also made Ning Weimin feel a sense of déjà vu, and he then realized the purpose of this guy calling him here.

The Japanese seem to be quite superstitious about momentum, and this is probably the tradition of EIE.

From top to bottom in this company, it seems that both Takahashi Osunori and Matsuda Takeshi like to deliberately use the convenience of occupying the home court to increase the initiative and momentum in the negotiations and put pressure on the negotiating opponents.

That's their calculation.

But Ning Weimin is not an ordinary person, how could he fall for this?
The last time Takahashi Oshinori took action personally, he didn't give Takahashi Oshinori face. This time, it's even more impossible for a little Karami to do so.

"I believe we are both very busy. We are meeting here today just to update the lease contract, right? Then don't waste time. Please take out the contract. If my lawyer has read it and it's ok, I will sign it right away."

To be honest, Ning Weimin was too lazy to talk nonsense and had no interest in watching Matsuda's pretense.

So he went straight to the point and urged him on, even though he knew that the other party would definitely cause trouble.

Sure enough, faced with this situation, the property manager immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, appearing a little guilty.

Matsuda was fine, although he was also a little surprised and moved his fat shoulders, but he responded without any ambiguity and was still trying to control the situation.

"That's true, but don't worry, the situation may have changed a little."

"What changes?"

Facing Ning Weimin's questioning, Matsuda pretended to be righteous, as if he was doing his job impartially.

"That's right. Because our company just bought this commercial building, we came here today to bother you to update the lease contract. However, you should also know that in order to protect the interests of the majority of tenants, commercial buildings have the right to select tenants, right? In view of the special nature of your company, we now need to conduct a new review of you before deciding whether to continue to rent the office space to you?"

"I'm not quite sure what you mean. What's so special about our company?" Ning Weimin continued to ask even though he knew the answer.

"Your president, Ms. Maria, is also the mama-san of Ginza, isn't that right? So we are worried that this matter will cause trouble to other tenants..."

"We have never concealed this matter from the beginning. It was clearly stated in the last application..."

"But at that time, this building was not part of our group. Now that it has become part of the EIE Group, we have to review it according to our group's standards. We are a large international company and we care a lot about the quality of our customers."

When Matsuda said this, his eyes became strange, and the corners of his mouth widened with a smile, as if he had Ning Weimin in his grasp.

Some people are like this; once they have power, they will find ways to make things difficult for others so that they can enjoy the superiority and pleasure that comes with the privilege.

Ning Weimin knew very well that the short and fat man in front of him and Takahashi Osaka were both such people.

"But the previous contractual ownership is still in effect. According to Japanese law, even if the building changes owners, the rights of the original tenants must still be respected. What you are saying now is completely unreasonable, and it is also unreasonable to re-propose the request to review the tenants. We can refuse to cooperate. And whether you agree or not, we can continue to rent here. This is our legal right..."

The lawyer brought by Ning Weimin finally realized that the atmosphere was wrong and began to speak up to help Ning Weimin safeguard his legitimate rights and interests.

But Matsuda didn't take it seriously at all. He looked at the young lawyer and his smile became even wider.

"Well, well, I understand what you said. What you said is indeed correct, but the problem is that EIE's legal team is very professional. The real estate market is so hot now. Do you know how much resources we have invested in the legal field? As the person in charge of the real estate business, I can tell you that we are suing different people almost every day. In a case like yours, it is nothing for a giant like EIE. We can just clear you out of here first, or restrict your entry and exit, and then argue with you in court for a few years, and then compensate you for some losses as appropriate. What do you think of this result?"

The lawyer was suddenly speechless.

Having said that, Matsuda leaned over and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box used to entertain guests. Seeing this, the property manager behind him immediately took out a lighter.

Matsuda leaned forward with a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at Ning Weimin and his lawyer.

Rolling your eyes at someone usually means rolling the eyes, but Matsuda's action seemed more like a glare, as if he had said something that really deserved a beating.

"Mr. Lawyer, please don't be so naive. The law is not omnipotent. Our EIE Group is omnipotent. In a word, this building is now the asset of EIE, so the rules must be followed according to what we say. Perhaps you will be dissatisfied with this move. You think it is unfair, but this is the reality of society. Either you accept it, or we will compete." That's not all. After teaching Lawyer Matsuda a lesson in a condescending manner, this guy exhaled a puff of smoke happily, and turned around to show off to Ning Weimin again.

"To be honest, no matter what you choose, it doesn't matter to our EIE Group. But if you do this, I'm afraid that great trouble will fall on you. Because not only this commercial building, but also the floor where the Chixia Club is located, is now an asset of our EIE Group. So for the sake of everyone, I have a good suggestion for you. You should still remember the request made by our President Takahashi to you, right? Why don't you reconsider it?"

"You guys have put so much effort into this, but after all, it turns out it's all for the Chixia Club?"

"Yes, that's what happened. But there is some deviation in what you said. In fact, it is more for the sake of our president's face. President Ning, you are too unkind. It's all your fault for not giving our president face that things turned out like this."

Matsuda glanced at Ning Weimin sideways, exhaling wisps of green smoke.

Although he called him president and used honorifics to address Ning Weimin, it seemed that he did not take him seriously at all.

"Did you come here specifically to threaten me?"

"How dare I threaten you. Please don't misunderstand me. I am just following the instructions of our president. I am an employee of EIED. I am just like the lawyer next to you. This is just my job. To be honest, I really hope to resolve this matter with President Ning in a friendly manner to avoid more unnecessary troubles. This will be good for both of us. But it depends on whether you are willing to do so..."

"Oh, then it depends on what you say. What should I do now?"

"In fact, our president's request is very simple. You just need to sell the Chixia Club to us and completely cut off contact with Miss Maria. Of course, the same applies to this foreign liquor store. Miss Maria will leave here and she will no longer be the president of this company."

Ning Weimin pretended to think about it, his expression very serious, "Are you asking me to fire her? But she is also the one who manages the liquor store for me. All the customers of this liquor store are in her hands. After she leaves, how can I run the business?"

Matsuda flicked the ash into the ashtray and said, "That's your problem. Of course, if you're willing to sell the liquor store to our president, that's not impossible. We at EIE are rich and powerful, so acquiring a few small companies is no problem. But you know that you made our president very unhappy the last time we met. If you're willing to apologize to our president in person, maybe you won't suffer too much financial loss."

These words made Ning Weimin's lawyer angry.

But Ning Weimin remained amicable, "Oh? You want me to apologize to your president. If I apologize, will your president forgive me? Will he definitely give me a good price? Can you guarantee that?"

Matsuda curled his lips, as if he was a little disgusted that Ning Weimin didn't go on the road.

Then he said, "I am just giving you good advice. It is up to you whether to go and apologize or not. I certainly cannot guarantee how our president will treat you. But if you don't go, I think there will be consequences that you will not want to see. It's up to you!"

After seeing Matsuda say these arrogant words face to face, Ning Weimin almost couldn't help but laugh out loud in his face.

He was genuinely laughing.

If nothing else, Takahashi Oshinori's move of "using one's own ability to hurt others" reminded him of the time when he had used this method to teach Gong Mingcheng a lesson not long ago. He did not expect that after returning to Japan, he would be targeted in the same way. This was somewhat like "retribution".

Of course, he is not afraid of such behavior, because he is different from Gong Mingcheng, who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside and does not know his own weight. He has a lot of capital and can be said to be playing the pig to eat the tiger.

If Takahashi Oshinori dares to continue to use this stupid trick of hurting himself by a thousand and killing the enemy by eight hundred to target him, then he will definitely make Takahashi Oshinori lose everything, to the point where even his own mother won't recognize him.

"Okay, I think I understand what your president means. But I still have some questions to ask you..."

"Do you have any more questions? It's such a simple thing, can't you figure it out?"

At this time, Matsuda even seemed a little impatient.

He simply didn't even look at Ning Weimin, but just looked at the ceiling and smoked.

"I want to know, who suggested such a stupid idea to your president? Or did that idiot Takahashi come up with it on his own? I really want to know, where do you get the confidence to force me to obey you with such a little ability? Oh, by the way, how did your president make his fortune? For someone as stupid as him, with so few brain cells, is it really just luck?"

Matsuda never expected Ning Weimin to say something rude. He was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the sofa.

"What did you say? You bastard! How dare you insult our president!"

"Your president is a beast! Why can't I scold him? Not only should I scold him, I should scold you too. You are also a beast! You are just as stupid! Who do you think you are? You are not qualified to teach me what to do. You should find a place to count your brain cells! Only rubbish like you would treat others as non-human beings and think that I would sell out my subordinates."

As Ning Weimin spoke, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Matsuda's collar across the table, and picked up the coffee pot with his other hand.

Now Matsuda and the property manager were panicking, one of them yelling, "What are you going to do?"

Another shouted, "Don't do anything stupid! Don't do anything stupid!"

Even the lawyer next to Ning Weimin was a little surprised and quickly advised Ning Weimin not to be impulsive.

You know, the most taboo thing in Japanese society is violence. Even if two people are arguing and cursing at each other, they will not fight. Once they do, the situation becomes serious and the legal issues involved become a bit troublesome.

Of course, Ning Weimin, who has sufficient understanding of Japanese society, is definitely not that stupid, and the lawyer's worries are actually unnecessary.

In fact, he didn't want to hit anyone, he just wanted to vent his anger.

So his behavior was completely beyond everyone's expectations. He did not smash the coffee pot on Matsuda's head, but poured the coffee over his head, giving the guy a coffee bath.

This was really a big deal. The property manager was stunned and his mouth was almost shut.

Matsuda, who had been irrigated with warm coffee, closed his eyes, shouted and jumped, his mouth full of grit, and he didn't know what to use to wipe his face.

It seems that he has gone mad.

Ning Weimin waved at the lawyer, and when he left, he sneered at Matsuda.

"Don't even bother washing your face. Go back like this and tell your master that I will sue him if he wants to! And I also welcome him to continue to be my landlord and not argue with me anymore. I have a lot of properties, and I hope this guy can spend money to buy them all. This can at least spice up my boring life. I'm just worried that he doesn't have enough money in his pocket, and he's pretending to be generous..."

At this time, Matsuda had already wiped his face with the tissue handed to him by the property manager. After opening his eyes, he saw that Ning Weimin seemed to be leaving, so he naturally refused to give up.

He shouted, "You bastard, you can't leave!"

He rushed out in a hurry, trying to catch Ning Weimin
But what kind of body shape does Ning Weimin have?
It's not easy to dodge the attack from such a short and fat guy.

As a result, the short and fat guy, due to his exasperation, rushed forward too quickly and bumped into the door frame with a loud bang.

He even flipped over, like a ball... (End of this chapter)
