Early the next morning, on the second day of coming to Japan, Zhang Fan habitually got up early in the morning, pushed open the door after washing, and the refreshing air made people feel refreshed.

Yesterday afternoon, we stayed in the Japanese sparrow company for half a day, and we talked about the company's development, design style, promotion plan and other topics, all the way to the local Japanese culture and Chinese culture, everyone felt that this meeting was very pleasant.

Even when it was time to get off work, everyone was reluctant to talk to the young boss.

In the eyes of those Japanese colleagues, this big boss has the ordinariness and kindness of a comic character, and there are too many secrets hidden in him, which people can't help but want to know.

But today they had a chance.

As the leader of the group, Zhang Fan may not have the time to get to know everyone's peers, but he needs to have a general understanding of a team.

So before getting off work, Zhang Fan discussed with President Miyazaki Yuzhong, and today is a day off, and everyone will find a place to hold an outdoor dinner event and have a good contact with each other.

In this way, it is convenient for China and Japan to communicate, and everyone can enhance friendship through entertainment and dinner, so that Japanese partners can understand the corporate philosophy of Xinghuo Company as soon as possible.

When the news was announced, the whole company was very happy, and after that, everyone discussed the location of the dinner at the 'Hamarikyu Garden, Chuo Ward'.

This area is only about ten minutes away from Zhang Fan's hotel, and there is a large leisure lawn in the southeast of the garden lake, which is suitable for outdoor dining.

As for the preparation of food for dinners, there is no need for Zhang Fan and others to think about it, because Japanese people will bring their own 'bento' when they eat outdoors.

Japan's 'bento culture' has a long history, and it was first used as military rations. In the 17th century, this culture began to spread among the Japanese people. After that, it became a necessity for people to go out to work, school, and outings. Almost every aspect of Japanese food culture permeates.

Bento boxes are slightly different from domestic lunch boxes.

Most of the boxed lunches in China are simplified versions of home-cooked dishes. Rice with a few meat and vegetable main dishes. There is very little soup in Japanese poop. And the shape is delicate and diverse.

As soon as this topic was discussed, the roundworms in Xia Xiaotian and Gao Tingting's stomachs began to be restless, and they asked questions around several translators. Everyone was also very excited to explain to them.

After getting off work in the evening, Zhang Fan invited six company translators to have dinner together.

These translators are all Chinese students in Japan, and they have been working in Japan since graduation, and one of them is half a fellow countryman with Zhang Fan.

……

Outside the guest room door.

Zhang Fan breathed in the refreshing air and stretched, it was about 6 o'clock now, and the surrounding hazy scenery was hazy. Unconsciously aroused his creative inspiration.

"This kind of scenery, Xuejun will like it too, right?"

With this in mind, he returned to his bedroom, took out the sketch canvas, spare paper, and ballpoint pen he had prepared from his suitcase, packed them in a small bag, and walked out of the hotel lightly.

The tranquil environment on the early morning path made him feel comfortable, and at this moment he didn't have to think about anything, and concentrated on appreciating this exotic scenery.

Occasionally, when he sees some roadside buildings and decorations with Japanese characteristics, Zhang Fan will stop and draw a few strokes.

At this time, a holly tree on the stone platform on the side of the road caught his eye, to be exact, a 'sunny day doll' hanging from the branches.

This sunny day doll is facing the eastern morning sun and is flanked by dense woods......

The branches of the holly tree sway gently in the breeze. The pure white doll has a very special artistic conception beauty against the background of the sun and the surrounding greenery.

Look at the doll colors and red ribbons. It's like someone just tied up......

In fact, Zhang Fan didn't know that when he was writing to record the details of the scenery in front of him, someone was hiding in the woods behind him to take pictures.

This sunny day doll is a 'bait' set by the other party, specially used to 'catch' those who pass by, and then the designer of the trap can take pictures of the expressions and demeanors of passers-by after seeing them.

Since the beginning of April, she has been setting up a set in this place, tying the doll at sunrise in the morning and dusk......

Over the past month, she has recorded nearly 90 sets of shots, ranging from surprise smiles to sad eyes, and each shot has a story.

And the picture in front of her made her feel the most interesting, the other party was actually drawing......

"Is it for a painter? Looks pretty handsome......"

"Huh? He's actually using a ballpoint pen, he should be using a sketchpad, is he writing? ”

Adjust the lens ......

The candid photographer pointed the camera at the drawing board, only to see that a landscape outline had been formed on the white paper, Zhang Fan used a special pen holding posture, quickly swept on the paper, and after sketching the background, he began to capture and depict the sunny day doll.

"He's really sketching, he's drawing so fast...... Is it a professional painter? ”

Unconsciously, the candid photographer began to forget about taking pictures and stared intently at the drawing board through the lens.

As the picture became clearer and more real, the surprise and wonder on her cheeks grew thicker and heavier.

Through a covered leaf, I saw that the other party was wearing a peaked cap, a large gray canvas jacket, black shorts, and white and slightly baby fat cheeks were not too pretty, but they were very cute. Two ponytails hang down from each shoulder.

……

About 10 minutes later, "Japan. The work "Hamarikyu Sunny Day Doll" was completed under Zhang Fan's pen. When I turned around, I saw a girl wearing a peaked cap holding a camera and staring at her.

Zhang Fan wanted to ask, but thinking that he didn't understand Japanese, he could only nod and continue to walk along the forest road.

The cap lady didn't expect Zhang Fan to just look at herself, and then leave without a sound, she hadn't encountered this situation yet.

"Excuse me! My name is Kaba Sakurai, are you a professional painter? ”

Zhang Fan saw the other party talking to him, and said in his heart: "I don't understand what you say to me." But out of politeness, he smiled and nodded.

"Huh?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiangye turned his head and opened his mouth to ask, "Are you deaf and mute?" As he spoke, he blamed his ears and mouth and waved his hands.

This time Zhang Fan understood what she meant, nodded and acquiesced, facing a strange country, he is indeed almost dumb now.

"I'm sorry......"

Xiangye bowed deeply, and then gestured to see Zhang Fan's painting. Only then did Zhang Fan understand the purpose of her accosting. Take the sketchpad out of your bag.

When Kazuha Sakurai sees the contents of the drawing board up close. His eyes and expressions showed great surprise and excitement: "Awesome! I've never seen a sketch in this style, it's so good! ”

"Sorry, I forgot you couldn't hear me! I'll write to you......"

As she spoke, she opened the first page and wrote a long paragraph of praise and appreciation, mixed with cute symbolic expressions.

Zhang Fan pursed his lips and smiled after seeing it, and shook his head to indicate that he couldn't understand it.

"I should have known a long time ago, how can I be literate if I can't hear, I'm really useless......" Kaha Sakurai felt a sense of frustration in her heart. But it does not delay her appreciation of Zhang Fan's works.

Quickly pick up the camera and record the sketchbook, Zhang Fan and the surrounding scenery.

Then Zhang Fan walked all the way, she followed all the way, and the two of them turned around the path for most of the park in an hour, recording a lot of interesting monuments and scenery along the way.

It wasn't until Gao Tingting called at 7:30 that Zhang Fan, a dumb person, couldn't pretend to be anything.

……

"I didn't go far, I was in a nearby park, I'll go back right away......"

"Hmm."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan and Xiangye looked surprised at the moment, glared at each other, and the two laughed in unison for a moment.

Sakurai Kazuha smiled half-red and said, "It turns out that you are a foreigner." I thought you were Japanese, too. I'm still stupid, do you speak Chinese or Korean. It should be Chinese, right? ”

Hearing the pronunciation of the word 'Huaxia', Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, and then took down a lakeside landscape painting and gave it to her: "There is a saying in Huaxia: When you meet in Pingshui, you are fated. This one is for you. ”

"Is it for me? Thank you, thank you so much. Sakurai Kazuha happily took it and asked Zhang Fan to write down some words.

When the sun rose, Zhang Fan and Xiangye bowed goodbye, and the two of them returned to their residences with a relaxed mood.

However, Xiangye is far more excited than Zhang Fan, not only did he meet a Chinese painter today, but also had a wonderful misunderstanding experience, and finally got a friendship gift from the painter, which is simply something that only happens in light novels and comics!

So as soon as she ran home, she kicked her sister, punched her brother, quickly occupied the computer to write about the experience, and then uploaded the article to her Facebook along with the photos she took today.

Four hours later, her article became the target of a hot reprint on Facebook, with more than 1.3 million people hotly discussing: the article and the unknown but handsome Chinese painter in it.

The ballpoint pen sketch recorded in the photo is also one of the hot topics of discussion.

This article even appeared on the Japanese mainstream media news station, and after being discovered by some Japanese study abroad fans, they quickly translated the original text into Chinese and forwarded it to Sparrow.com.

In an instant, the question of whether the author of the painting "Red Leaf Park" is Zhang Fan was completely solved, and fans and netizens were hotly discussing, and the domestic media also smelled the breath of news materials.

News related to "What is Zhang Fan's trip to Japan" has landed on major portals in China one after another, and the "fake news" of "Sparrow Social Will Enter Japan" reported ten days ago has been taken out again and stirred.

……

At noon, on the shores of the lake in the Hamarikyu Garden.

Compared with the heated discussion on the domestic Internet, this lakeside meadow is much quieter, and more than 120 Japanese sparrow partners form a large circle on the grass.

In groups of five, a variety of cute carpets were filled with bento boxes and fruit drinks, and individual employees brought guitars, shamisen, shakuhachi, and other musical instruments.

In the east of the activity circle, Zhang Fan, Yutang, Miyazaki, Yoshioka, and a study abroad translator sat in a circle, Gao Ting, Feng Hong, and Xia Xiaotian were crowded into the pile of girls on the side, and ...... It's already been eaten.

"Xiaotian, you try this, this is the fish sushi that my mother specially made, with a little wasabi on top......"

"Thanks, I'll try ......"

As she spoke, Gao Tingting hadn't swallowed it yet, and picked up the designer Naoko Akiyama and handed over the 'fish sushi', and in the afterglow, Zhang Fan was looking at himself with a smile.

"Look at what? I am following the local customs, and I tell you a good news, our boss Zhang wants to present a Chinese song to you. ”

"Huh?" After the translation, there was a sound of surprise at the scene, and then the eyes of both men and women focused on Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan squinted at Gao Tingting and said with a smile: "Hmm." The title of the song is "Two Gao Ting Run Fast", do you want to hear it? ”

Fluttering, the drink in Xia Xiaotian's mouth sprayed on the grass, Feng Hong and Yutang tried their best to hold back their laughter, but in the end they didn't hold on.

So, today's dinner began with a burst of laughter.
