Chapter 154: The Secret of His Origin
Cen Man heard the information of the flight landing, and hurriedly ran to the VIP exit, still holding a bouquet of carefully selected flowers in his hand, last time it was Huo Li who came to pick him up, this time I will pick you up, thinking that the two of them will be able to meet in a while, Cen Man's heart is full of sweetness.
There were few people at the VIP exit, Cen Man saw Huo Li after a while, the dark green fit suit lined him more slender and tall, she was about to run over but was stunned there, and found that he walked over with his arms around the waist of another woman, this woman was actually Tomoko Maeda.
Cen Man covered his face with a flower and retreated to a corner where the two couldn't find it, and quietly followed them when they were far away.
Huo Li and Maeda walked all the way to the parking lot, the two talked and laughed very intimately, and when they got into the car, Huo Li helped her open the car door first, and put his hand on the door frame to protect her head.
Seeing this scene, Cen Man didn't know what had happened during this time in Japan, whether it was Yang Meilian or Bai Anqing before, or even when he fell in love with Bai Annian for the first time, Huo Li had never been so gentle and considerate to other women except for himself. She didn't believe that Huo Li would fall in love with this Japanese woman in this short period of time, and the only explanation was that it was all for Huo's sake.
Cen Man thought that he was special in Huo Li's heart, but it turned out that what was special in his heart was always Huo's.
Cen Man, who returned to the company, listened to the report of his subordinates, but he couldn't concentrate in his head, and the scene of the two laughing at the airport always lingered.
"Mr. Cen, Mr. Huo is back, let you go over." Secretary Chen suddenly knocked on the door and announced.
After listening to the report during this time, Huo Li also invited Maeda to the office: "Manman, the Japanese company's order will be implemented according to Miss Maeda's wishes." Cen Man just wanted to ask what to do with Huo's shortfall, but was stopped by Huo Li's eyes.
Maeda on the side stretched out his hand to Cen Man, "Ms. Cen , I'm sorry for you to worry a lot about the things that follow." The tone was still so polite and polite, but there was a victor's smile on his face.
In the follow-up cooperation, there was a lot of discussion in the company, all saying that President Huo Da was deceived by the Japanese and signed such a loss-making list, and some people said that this list was signed by the young grandmother of the Huo family, and Huo was always in the aftermath for his wife.
This matter also quickly reached the ears of the board of directors, and other important shareholders of the Huo Group asked Huo Lizhao to open the board of directors and give a reasonable explanation for this matter.
Cen Man really couldn't withstand the pressure, and when she wanted to ask Huo Li what to do, Huo Li was as calm as usual and told her not to worry.
A day later, an inconspicuous Lexus stopped in front of Huo's door, and Tomoko Maeda walked out of the car with an old lady.
"What a pretty girl." Seeing Cen Man in the conference room, the old man praised in strangely pronounced Chinese.
"It's rude, my name is Mei Kimura. Thank you very much for taking care of my granddaughter Tomoko Maeda during this time. ”
Kimura Mei is in her seventies, her silver hair is meticulously combed, her black dress is cut and fitted to look elegant and low-key, her spirit is excellent, and there is no old man's decadence at all.
"Zhizi, your time in the Huo Group has caused you a lot of trouble." The old lady criticized Maeda with both helplessness and pampering.
"Grandma, I just want to come and see Grandpa's company. I'm sorry everyone. Maeda obviously listened to the words of the old man in front of him, and hurriedly bowed to everyone and apologized.
Everyone was not only surprised by Maeda's apology, but Cen Man's heart was even more strange, Kimura Mei is the Kimura Mei he heard in Japan? Tomoko Maeda is actually her granddaughter, so what does grandpa's company mean?
With all kinds of questions, the old man Kimura opened his mouth: "Tomoko, your farce should end here, and I, the grandmother, will explain the truth of the matter to everyone." ”
At that time, after Old Man Huo was rescued by Kimura Hisachi, he stayed at Kimura's house. Because the real name of the old man Huo is Huo Jixi, as the eldest of the Huo family and the only male of the Huo family, he has the meaning of inheriting hope, in order to thank the Kimura family for saving their lives, his pseudonym in Japan is Kimura Nozomi.
The Kimura family's youngest daughter, Mei Kimura, has never been out of the small village where she lives since she was born, and the sudden appearance of a foreign man arouses her infinite curiosity. Always asking about Huo Jixi's outside stories, and Huo Jixi's Japanese ability is limited, Kimura Mei volunteered to be his Japanese teacher.
The young Kimura Mei is innocent and innocent, and also has the gentleness unique to Japanese women, Huo Jixi is alone in a foreign land, so he naturally likes this little girl who often takes care of herself and pesters herself, and also regards the Kimura family as her own relatives. Huo Jixi not only inherited his father's suave and suave style, but also looked handsome and chic, and Kimura Mei naturally liked this well-informed and beautiful man.
Watching the two gradually develop a good feeling, Kimura Hisachi became worried, he also liked this hard-working young man, but he was going to leave after all, what would his daughter do when the time came.
The Kimura family lived in poverty, and once the creditor brought a group of people to the door to collect debts, Huo Jixi couldn't bear to see the life-saving benefactor's family in trouble, so he stood up and vouched for it, promising him to repay the Kimura family's debts.
The creditor then agreed to leave, and before leaving, he viciously threatened to give them a week's time, otherwise he would take someone to take their house from them.
Huo Jixi was worried about how to get together the money in a week, and the villagers next door taught him a way, go to the beach to fish for pearls, as long as he catches a pearl in good condition, he can sell it for a lot of money.
The small fishing village produces pearls by the sea below the cliffs, not to mention the test of people's water nature and courage, the slightest carelessness will be cut by the cliffs and the coral at the feet, not desperate villagers will not easily take this road.
At that time, Huo Jixi, who was young and vigorous, didn't think much about it, and came to the edge of the cliff with simple tools without telling the Kimura family, and jumped into the sea with his own courage.
The inexperienced Huo Jixi couldn't find any trace of the mussel at the beginning, seeing that his breath was about to come to an end, he could only poke out of the sea and exhale, the sun at noon was poisonous and spicy, and Huo Jixi, who was tired and thirsty, did not give up diving to the bottom of the sea again and again to find it.
The hard work paid off, and finally found the hidden mussels in the mud and sand of the cliff, Huo Jixi kept digging a few in a row, until it was almost dark and he couldn't see before he went ashore.
When he was in the sea, he didn't feel it, and after he left the sea, he felt the cut on his body, and it hurt bloodily, but he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly sat down with a knife to open the mussels, but the first few pearls were either too small or had obvious flaws, and they didn't seem to be worth anything.
Just when Huo Jixi felt desperate, thinking that all the day's efforts had been wasted, and he was about to try his luck again tomorrow, he scratched the last mussel, and a large, round, almost flawless bead appeared, not only beautiful, but also glowing with the unique light of pearls in the moonlight.
Huo Jixi ran back to Kimura's house excitedly, and didn't even bother to ask for tools, as soon as Kimura Mei opened the door, she saw Huo Jixi standing there with a huge pearl covered in wounds, and immediately understood what was going on.
Since then, the relationship between the two has become more glue-like, and Kimura Hisachi also acquiesced to his daughter's choice, wanting them to marry and settle down in Japan.
And Huo Jixi is in a dilemma of whether to stay in Japan or take Kimura Mei with him, and receives a message from his father, which says that Huo has a new direction, and at this critical moment of transformation, he hopes that his only son will return quickly, and his mother and sister at home miss him very much.
After reading his father's letter, Huo Jixi thought that he had come to Japan alone and left his parents for so many years, and he felt deeply ashamed, so he came to say goodbye to the Kimura family, saying that he was going to return to China first and come back when the family affairs were resolved.
Kimura Hisachi, who wanted to stop talking, could only agree, but Kimura Mei on the side was unusually calm.
In the middle of the night, Mei Kimura knocked on the door and came to Huo Jixi's room, expressing her willingness to return to China with him. Huo Jixi didn't know the current situation at home and in China, and he was not sure that the woman he liked would not suffer with him, so he rejected Kimura Mei's proposal.
The two of them were reluctant to give up on such a night, the sorrow of parting overcame reason, they broke the last line of defense, and couldn't help but linger, and the next day, Kimura Mei, who saw her farewell the next day, silently shed tears and watched Huo Jixi get on the boat.
After returning to China, Huo Jixi helped his father to shoulder the burden of the Huo family, and achieved the current scale of the Huo Group, and he also changed from a young man to an old man Huo.
Old man Huo wanted to return to Japan several times and was delayed, and after the Huo family was stable for several years, he also sent someone to look for it, so that the Kimura family knew that he had not forgotten his promise to come back, but the person who sent it said that the Kimura family was nowhere to be found, so he concluded that Kimura Mei had already married, so he married Huo Li's grandmother under his father's arrangement.
And Kimura Mei found out that she was pregnant after that night, and the Kimura family secretly moved in order not to let the villagers find out, and Kimura Mei also gave birth to a baby boy.
And Kimura Mei, who waited for no results, later married a businessman, so the son also took the businessman's surname and called Maeda, that is, Maeda Tomoko's father.
"That's the matter between me and Jissan, let Tomoko herself talk about the rest of the matter." After the old lady finished telling the story, she looked a little tired compared to the radiant spirit just now, as if the memories had exhausted her too much energy.
"My grandfather and grandmother didn't have any other children, so my father inherited my grandfather's business and made it quite a small scale in Japan. Some time ago, my father passed away due to illness, and before he died, he told me the secret of his life experience, and I learned that his biological father was not my grandfather, but a Chinese man. ”
