Chapter 393 Tokyo Family Dinner
At half past five, Lu Liang was invited to Setagaya District.

Setagaya in Tokyo's 23 wards has been a famous wealthy area since the last century.

During the real estate bubble in the 90s, Setagaya Ward and Meguro Ward led the rise in housing prices nationwide.

The price per square meter is easily over 300,000 yuan, which is much crazier than the current housing prices in Shanghai.

At that time, the statement of selling Tokyo and buying America was definitely not empty talk.

They say it and do it, the Japanese are shopping all over the world.

When college students graduated, it was not the companies that chose them, but they who chose the companies.

In order to attract talented people, companies will give out gifts or red envelopes worth thousands of dollars regardless of whether the interview is successful or not.

People who are particularly creative can go to various companies' interview venues every day and earn tens of thousands of yuan a month.

At that time, it was common even for housewives to have an afternoon tea costing hundreds of dollars in their spare time.

Because in Tokyo at that time, not only was the real estate market booming, but the stock market was also soaring, with a total market value of 600 trillion yen, accounting for 28% of the global financial market's market value.

Banks are printing money every day, and ordinary people can easily borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars. After lending out money from this bank, there is another bank. They can never lend out all the money and are not short of money.

It was a carnival for a generation, and now it seems to be the carnival for the last generation.

Then, China was forced by the Americans to sign the Plaza Accord, and has been paying off its debts since the 1990s.

The Ohta family house is a single-family house covering an area of ​​nearly 1,000 square meters.

The wall is more than two meters high. From the outside, you can only see the tops of the buildings inside and a lot of green plants in the courtyard.

From a distance, Lu Liang saw Ota Ling standing at the door, smiling and wearing a men's kimono.

The short sleeves are very loose and there is a belt around the waist, which makes it look very much like a yukata, but it is actually their "Zhongshan suit".

There were two young men beside him, with the same bright smiles, and they looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

As soon as the black Mercedes stopped, one of the young men rushed forward and opened the back door.

"Mr. Ohta, I'm really sorry. I just came from the company and I'm not really prepared."

Lu Liang had a smile on his face, wearing casual clothes and sneakers, which was out of place with the formal attire of the others.

"Mr. Lu, as long as you honor me by coming, what else do you need to prepare?"

Ota Ling smiled and introduced the two people around him. His eldest son was Ota Renjun and his second son was Ota Renyou.

He said, "Renjun Renyou, father didn't lie to you, did he? This is Mr. Lu Lianglu."

"Mr. Lu, it's nice to meet you in person." The two could not hide their excitement on their faces.

Among the best people born in the 1980s on earth, Lu Liang has the most fans and is the most popular. After all, the other two inherited their skills through bloodline, but Lu Liang relied on himself.

"Hello, gentlemen." Lu Liang bowed with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, please."

Ota Ling waved his hand and invited him into the house. The courtyard was decorated with rockery and green plants, a small bridge over flowing water and a pavilion, giving it the feel of a Jiangnan garden.

Walk for more than ten meters and cross the corridor to reach the main building, a single-story Dabie building with an all-wood structure, which is ancient and quaint.

In the entrance hall of the house, there were three women kneeling, one of them was a little older, probably no more than 35 years old.

The other two were of different ages, one was six or seven years old, and the other was in his teens, but both were dressed very formally in kimonos.

Ota Ling said: "Don't be afraid of Mr. Lu laughing at me, I have had three marriages. Renjun and Renyou are both born to my first marriage, the older Nami is the child of my second marriage, and the youngest Sonoko is the child of my current marriage."

He only introduced the names of the Ota family's children, and did not introduce his wife. He just said "Madam" and that was it.

In their family concept, the male head is the greatest, followed by the son, then the daughter, and finally the wife.

His children may be able to help him, but his wife is just a housewife and cannot help, so there is no need to introduce her.

"What's so funny about this? I was married a few years ago, but I got divorced later."

Lu Liang smiled and followed Ota Ling into the house. The floor was covered with soft tatami mats, which were very comfortable to step on.

"This may not be a bad thing. From now on, the sky is high and the birds can fly freely, the sea is wide and the fish can jump freely. Although I lost one person, I still have the whole world."

Ota Ling had read Lu Liang's information and knew that he was able to develop after his divorce. As for whether he abandoned his wife because he was rich, that was not within his consideration.

Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.

At this point, it doesn’t matter whether it is or not.

Several people came to the restaurant. Lu Liang looked at the low dining table and felt a little embarrassed: "Mr. Ota, I injured my Achilles tendon when I was studying in my early years. I'm afraid it's not convenient to kneel and sit."

"Mr. Lu, just treat this place as your own home. Sit however you want. Don't be so particular."

Ota Ling laughed, worried that Lu Liang would feel embarrassed, so he took the lead and sat cross-legged.

With the template, Lu Liang was naturally not polite, but even sitting cross-legged was not very comfortable. On the one hand, the coccyx would hurt easily if sitting for a long time, and on the other hand, sitting cross-legged would easily cause hunchback.

Kneeling can avoid these shortcomings, but Liangzi is stubborn and he refuses to kneel.

"Mr. Lu, we're having a puffer fish feast tonight. It's artificially bred and has no toxins, so you can eat it with confidence."

As Lu Liang took his seat, others followed suit. Ota smiled and introduced the dishes for tonight.

Puffer fish meat is best eaten raw in slices, but in order to cater to Lu Liang's taste, they prepared a porridge-based hot pot.

If Lu Liang is not used to it, he can cook it before eating. The taste of the porridge base is also very delicious.

"Mr. Ohta is so thoughtful. Let's start eating."

Lu Liang had eaten puffer fish many years ago and it was indeed very delicious.

Not only delicious food needs a comfortable environment and the right atmosphere. If you feel uncomfortable, even dragon meat will not taste good.

After a round of wine and three dishes,

He couldn't bear it any longer, and his buttocks and waist were sore.

Lu Liang clasped his hands together and smiled: "Mr. Ota, thank you for your hospitality. I am full."

After saying that, he quickly stood up. Ota Ling immediately understood and apologized: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. My arrangements were not appropriate enough and I have troubled you."

"Mr. Ohta, you are too kind. I just haven't exercised much recently, so my muscles and bones are not very flexible."

Lu Liang chuckled and walked with Ota Ling in the courtyard, talking about his plan to return home tomorrow.

Wen Chao will be in charge of this place from now on, but he is young and has little experience, so he needs more guidance from Ota.

Ota Ling smiled and said, "Mr. Wen is already very good. When I was his age, I was still following my seniors to do business."

While chatting, he talked about his eldest son, who graduated from the Harvard School of Economics in July this year and has been sitting at home idle ever since, and has not yet decided what to do.

"If there is no precise goal, it would be better to let him go to Xingheng for internship for a while and let him settle down."

Lu Liang had a smile on his face, as if he had already treated Ota Ling's son as his nephew and was seriously considering his future.

With the introduction of the Hyundai Group this time, Rei Ota and the Sumitomo Mitsui company he represented were indeed wronged.

If you are wronged, you must give compensation. You can't just take the beating without giving any sweet treats. If the compensation to Sumitomo Mitsui is paid to private individuals, the cost will be lower.

Tai Tian Ling was delighted, but he looked embarrassed: "Mr. Lu, is he not suitable?"

He is just the rotating president and will retire sooner or later. By then, he will be forgotten and will be able to provide little help to his children.

It is better to let your children go out and try their luck while you are still in power. After all, Sumitomo Mitsui will back them up in the end.

The eldest son will go into business, the second son will go into politics, and the third and fourth daughters will cultivate their skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then find a good and powerful in-law family to help their two older brothers succeed in their careers.

As long as two or three generations work hard, in a few years, the Ota family will also be one of the prominent families in Tokyo.

Lu Liang glanced at him and laughed, "If even those who graduated from Harvard's economics department aren't suitable, who else is suitable?"

He really wanted to expose Ota Ling. Wasn't it just for this matter that he invited her to family dinners again and again? Why was he pretending?

Ota Ling pretended to be in deep thought, and suddenly waved to Renjun who was inside the room, and asked with a serious expression: "Mr. Lu, I plan to let you go to Xingheng for internship. Do you have confidence? If not, forget it. Don't waste your kindness."

"Father, I have faith."

Tai Tian Renjun looked at Lu Liang with a serious face, bowed and said: "Mr. Lu, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Lu Liang smiled and said, "Renjun, as long as you don't feel wronged, it's fine. Our Xingheng has just started and is still small in scale."

Ota Ling smiled brightly and flattered him: "As long as Mr. Lu is there, even the smallest sapling will grow into a towering tree."

Ota Renjun nodded and said hurriedly: "It is my honor to be able to intern in Mr. Lu's company."

Lu Liang smiled, called Xu Jiawei, and asked him to take out Wen Chao's business card: "Contact him whenever you are free, you can report anytime."

After that, after chatting for a while, Ota Ling warmly invited Lu Liang to go to the private hot spring in the backyard.

"Maybe next time. I have to go back to the company later to have a good chat with Wen Chao about the future arrangements for Renjun."

Lu Liang had a smile on his face. If Ota Ling was wronged, he would tell him that they were wronged.

Now that I have given him a sweet treat, I have to make it clear to him. The matter is over. Don't play the victim anymore in the future.

"Mr. Lu, just let Mr. Wen order him around."

Ota Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, immediately understanding what he meant.

No matter how disgusting Li Xuanhong is in the future,

He would also endure it, and the matter would be over.
