Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: What If I Refuse?
When they returned to the hotel, the embassy staff were already there waiting.
Since the Huaxia delegation set foot on Japanese soil, they have been closely monitoring the delegation’s movents.
They were aware of Luo Ziling’s “troubleso” activities.
After learning of these things, they naturally reported and sought instructions.
The ambassador personally paid attention to these matters and reported to the dostic authorities.
The feedback from back ho was to let Luo Ziling continue his antics.
After receiving such instructions, the embassy staff fully cooperated.
However, they did not expect Luo Ziling to be so capable of stirring things up.
After several shows aired on television, he almost beca a public enemy in Japan.
But he also showed a surprising side, daring to treat and cure patients poisoned with Paraquat.
Yet, all these things combined were not as shocking as Ishihara Tarou admitting defeat publicly today.
The embassy staff initially expected an intense dical competition when they heard about today’s large-scale event, but didn’t anticipate it ending as a farce.
Winning without a fight, what could be more inspiring than this achievent?
After receiving the news, the ambassador, in great excitent, imdiately instructed the staff to host a celebration dinner at the embassy tonight, to congratulate the achievents of the visit. Upon receiving the embassy staff’s notification, Hu Wenjun quickly inford everyone.
Upon returning to the hotel and being welcod by the embassy staff with the news of the ambassador holding a celebration in their honor tonight, the delegation’s mbers beca even more excited. At lunchti, many ended up getting drunk.
Fortunately, there were no activities planned for the afternoon. The original activities were canceled due to the Japanese side’s embarrassnt and anger, allowing all mbers to freely move around. Those who drank too much could simply rest in their rooms.
During lunch, Hu Wenjun also inford everyone that they would be confined to the hotel for activities this afternoon, and would venture out collectively during free ti tomorrow. His implied concern was about possible revenge from ill-intentioned Japanese.
These past two days, particularly today, there have been so Japanese waiting outside the hotel, shouting slogans at the delegation mbers.
Hu Wenjun was afraid of incidents, thus advising everyone to be cautious.
Most of those visiting Japan were not very interested in the country, being older in age and heavily influenced by traditional culture, considering themselves citizens of the Celestial Empire, making Japan’s developnt history and prosperity generally unattractive to them.
Few planned to go out, most chose to rest in the hotel.
When Luo Ziling, Ouyang Feifei, and Wang Qing returned to their room, Ouyang Feifei asked Luo Ziling, “Do you plan to sleep here in the hotel, or go out for a walk?”
“So, you want to go out for a walk?” Luo Ziling asked back.
“It’s rare to co to Tokyo, it feels like a waste to not go out,” Ouyang Feifei didn’t deny, “Let take you out for a stroll.”
Luo Ziling thought for a mont and didn’t imdiately express his stance, “Let’s rest for a bit before deciding.”
Ouyang Feifei didn’t push, but neither did she get up to rest.
“Today’s events were unexpected, weren’t they?” Ouyang Feifei laughed, “No one thought things would turn out like this.”
“Perhaps Ishihara Tarou did,” Luo Ziling grimaced, “I’m guessing those Japanese officials must hate the old Ishihara, so might even want to kill him.”
“Ishihara Tarou wouldn’t mind these things, the old man is very proud,” Ouyang Feifei responded calmly, “If he cared about their attitudes, he wouldn’t have perford like he did today.”
“I can’t understand Ishihara Tarou’s intentions,” Luo Ziling sighed.
“Perhaps his goal is the acupuncture skill you possess,” Ouyang Feifei’s eyes flashed with intrigue, “He said today he really wants to learn this acupuncture skill but hasn’t succeeded. He also wants to master the dicine you make. I think he was giving you a favor, aiming to exchange for what he desires.”
After hearing this from Ouyang Feifei, Luo Ziling thought it over and indeed felt there might be such a possibility, expressing his agreent with the idea.
“Sounds reasonable.”
“Wasn’t he inviting you over tonight?”
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot,” Luo Ziling slapped his forehead, “When leaving today, they didn’t ntion it, nor did I think about it. I was only planning to take a picture at the embassy gate tonight.”
“So, what do you plan to do? Decline their invitation?”
“What do you think I should do?”
“First, explain the situation. Tell them the ambassador asked for you personally, see how they react.” Ouyang Feifei suggested.
Luo Ziling considered it for a mont and nodded in agreent.
At that mont, his phone rang, and upon seeing it was a fixed Japanese number, Luo Ziling frowned, but still answered it.
“Hello, I’m Ishihara Naka,” the call was from Ishihara Naka, who introduced himself as soon as Luo Ziling answered, “I heard your ambassador is hosting a dinner tonight to entertain you all?”
“Yes, I was just about to call you to tell you this,” Luo Ziling said apologetically, “The ambassador ntioned by na, I feel awkward not going, but I’ve already accepted your invitation, which makes quite conflicted.”
“Why don’t you all co for afternoon tea instead?” Ishihara Naka understandingly offered, “My grandfather ntioned that since you’re attending the ambassador’s dinner at the embassy, we’ll leave you be tonight. Co for afternoon tea then tomorrow at noon, you shouldn’t have any official activities, you can co for lunch. How does that sound?”
“Sure, no problem,” Luo Ziling agreed almost without hesitation.
Having been rude initially, the other party didn’t mind and even provided suggestions, offering a win-win solution. How could Luo Ziling not give face to Ishihara Naka?
“Great, I will co to pick you up now.” Ishihara Naka said before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, Luo Ziling smiled at Ouyang Feifei, “You heard the call, any instructions?”
“No instructions, you go ahead, we’ll rest in the room,” Ouyang Feifei seed slightly disappointed, originally wanting to go out with Luo Ziling, but Ishihara Naka’s phone call disrupted her plans.
She couldn’t demand anything in this situation, thinking from any angle, Luo Ziling should attend Ishihara Tarou’s invitation.
“Why not co along?” Luo Ziling joked, “I don’t understand Japanese, if they curse or trick in Japanese, I wouldn’t understand, might even help them with ideas… Help them count the money they earn from selling . You understand Japanese, if you are beside , they wouldn’t dare to say such things. What’s more, you are smart, if they plot against , you can help out. And, if Ishihara Naka brings a woman to make lose face, and I don’t have a female companion to show off, I’ll be embarrassed. You’re pretty, so you must co with , help save face.”
“What if I refuse?”
“You wouldn’t be so petty, right? If you are, then I will be petty too, I won’t let you stay in this room!”
