"As long as you take care of my Japanese companies in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I can arrange for you to have a one-on-one dinner with the Japanese little princess every year." Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Why do I feel like you're bragging?" Hong Ze Yinan stared fixedly at Chen Feng.
Without further ado, Chen Feng directly stated that he would arrange for Hong Ze Yinan to have dinner with the Japanese little princess that very evening. It would be a private dinner for two, with no third party present. True face-to-face communication!
"Chen Feng, as long as I can dine with the Japanese little princess, your Japanese companies will have smooth sailing through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as long as the business is not illegal." Hong Ze Yinan said excitedly.
Chen Feng did not hesitate and immediately called the Japanese little princess. This was her private number, known to very few people, and Chen Feng was one of them.
"No problem." The Japanese little princess agreed without a second thought. Chen Feng was the man she loved. Due to their status, they could not marry. It was truly painful not to be able to marry the man she loved. Being able to do something for the man she loved made her very happy.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess." Chen Feng was deeply moved.
"Chen Feng, we really don't need to say thank you for our relationship." The Japanese little princess replied happily.
"That's true. Although we cannot marry, in a sense, you are my woman. How about this, I've transferred a sum of money to you, please check your account." Chen Feng said.
"Chen Feng, as you said, I am your woman. Since I am your woman, why would you need to send money in such a common way?" the Japanese little princess politely declined. She would happily accept money from others. To be honest, the Japanese Imperial family held no real power; they were merely a figurehead. To maintain a respectable image, they never refused money offered to them. However, at this moment, Chen Feng was the man she loved. If a woman truly loved a man, she would not accept his money, as doing so would change the nature of their relationship. She did not want Chen Feng to misunderstand that her giving herself to him that time was not for money, but because she genuinely liked him.
"Your Highness the Princess, you misunderstand me. I am giving you this money not out of charity, nor to buy your body. It is because I genuinely consider you my woman that I am giving you this large sum of money," Chen Feng said earnestly. Of course, only half of this was true. Firstly, the Japanese little princess was adorable, beautiful, and noble, and he genuinely liked her. When you like a woman, it is natural to find reasons to spend money on her. A true man, when giving money to the woman he likes, doesn't count how much he gives, but gives to the best of his ability. Of course, a part of it was also false. That is, transferring a large sum of money to the Japanese little princess was primarily to maintain relations with the Japanese Imperial family. Although the Japanese Imperial family was a figurehead, their status in Japan was still considerable. To put it plainly, using the name of the Japanese Imperial family to do many things in Japan was often twice as effective with half the effort. In this regard, Japanese society shared many similarities with Chinese society. In a word, propriety mattered. The Japanese Imperial family, with its thousands of years of history, was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Japanese people. The Japanese Imperial family was a huge golden signboard, highly recognized by the Japanese people. Just like the Chinese people, if we did something in the name of the Han ethnic group, it would be very smooth sailing. This is because the Han ethnic group is recognized by the majority of Chinese people. Conversely, if another ethnic group organized the Chinese people to do something, there would be great resistance. To put it plainly, the Han ethnic group is the legitimate lineage of China. In Japan, the Imperial family is the legitimate lineage of Japan.
"Continue, tell me why your love for me means you should give me money, I really want to hear it," the Japanese little princess asked excitedly.
"In China, it is only natural for men to spend money on the women they like. There is a big gap between this and Japan. Moreover, you are not helping me in personal matters, but in official matters. I must give you this money. If not you, I would give it to someone else, but it's better to give it to my own woman," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Chen Feng, you are really good with words. This money feels so good to receive." The Japanese little princess replied happily.
After chatting for a while longer, Chen Feng hung up the phone. Less than ten minutes later, the Japanese little princess received a deposit notification on her mobile banking app. At first, the Japanese little princess didn't think much of it, assuming Chen Feng would only transfer a few tens of thousands, after all, she wasn't Chen Feng's wife. To her surprise, upon a quick glance, the Japanese little princess was deeply shocked. The money Chen Feng had sent her was more than what the Japanese Imperial family gave her in a year. In less than a second, the Japanese little princess burst into tears. It wasn't because of the large sum of money, but because of Chen Feng's sincerity towards her. Honestly, since she could not be Chen Feng's wife, there was no need for Chen Feng to spend so much money. Yet, Chen Feng had spent an astronomical sum on her. From this, it was clear that Chen Feng was truly devoted to the women he loved. There were no ulterior motives or calculations.
"Chen Feng, do you perhaps like the Japanese little princess?" Jia Ye Meizi asked with a hint of jealousy in the company office.
"How should I put it? I do like the Japanese little princess, but you don't need to worry. The Japanese little princess and I cannot marry, nor can we be together frequently. Even if I wanted to, the Japanese Imperial family would not allow it," Chen Feng reassured Jia Ye Meizi.
"I understand what you're saying. Although the Japanese Imperial family is just a figurehead, their status among the Japanese people is still quite high. To maintain this superficial prosperity, the Japanese Imperial family would certainly not allow the little princess to marry carelessly or like people carelessly. However, the fact that you transferred such a large sum of money to her, honestly, makes me feel uncomfortable." Jia Ye Meizi pouted.
"Meizi, you've misunderstood again. Even putting aside our personal feelings, if I liked the Japanese little princess and wanted to give her money, I wouldn't just suddenly give her such a large amount. My wealth comes from both my political and business dealings, and it is considerable. However, that doesn't mean I'm foolish enough to throw money around indiscriminately." Chen Feng comforted Jia Ye Meizi.
"Continue speaking." Jia Ye Meizi's jealousy had not subsided.
"Actually, the money I sent to the little princess this time is related to managing relationships. Didn't you ask me to build good relations with the head of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Well, this head of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't like money, nor women... but he is infatuated with the Japanese little princess. What could I do? The Japanese little princess, out of consideration for me, endured the disgust to have dinner with that old man, the head of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As a man, shouldn't I give her some money?" Chen Feng countered.
"Of course, you should! There's no such thing as a free lunch, I know that. But the problem is, this is just too much!" Jia Ye Meizi still said with lingering resentment.
"Meizi, setting aside romantic sentiments, think carefully about why I would spend so much money on the Japanese little princess. Am I just a fool who throws money around to chase after a woman I can't have? Am I that kind of man with no vision?" Chen Feng retorted calmly.
Jia Ye Meizi did not answer immediately but thought for a moment.
"I'm sorry, my jealousy got the better of me. I almost ruined something important. The reason you're spending money like this is entirely because you want to establish stable relationships with the Imperial family." Jia Ye Meizi said sheepishly.
"Meizi, you haven't disappointed me. That's exactly what I was thinking. For high-level political dealings, spend big money. For grassroots political dealings, small favors are fine, no problem." Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Chen Feng, the matter with the Japanese little princess and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is settled, and it doesn't require much more effort. Does that mean you'll be returning to China today?" Jia Ye Meizi asked reluctantly.
"That was the original plan, but circumstances have changed. Currently, there is a sinister individual in Japan's political arena who has set his sights on my company. If this matter is not resolved, my company is in great danger..." Chen Feng said grimly.
