"This isn't a big problem, Mayor Qin. You forgot, my Japanese is fluent now, and I can pretend to be Japanese."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"You speak Japanese, but can you speak it like a Japanese person, without any flaws?"
Qin Yan asked worriedly.
"Mayor Qin, actually, Japanese is like English. Once you learn it thoroughly, there's no difference from how the Japanese speak it."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
Qin Yan was impressed.
She couldn't help but admire Chen Feng's talent.
Others learned a language for years and it was as if they hadn't learned anything.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, had been learning for less than a year and could speak just like a native.
With such talent, it was impossible for him not to succeed.
"Alright, since you've decided, go ahead and do it."
Qin Yan said with a look of relief.
Thus, Qin Yan, along with Cheng Lu and other leaders from Mingshan Town, went off to visit Japanese attractions.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, immediately went to the workshop of a new energy vehicle company to take out the trash.
The reason he took out the trash was that the only part-time job available in the workshop of this new energy vehicle company was as a trash collector. Other positions required long-term commitment, and his disguised identity couldn't withstand scrutiny.
"Fujino, come here and help me lift these materials."
The CNC machinist, Ma Yuan, shouted imperiously.
In Ma Yuan's eyes, a trash collector was no different from a beggar, and he felt entitled to order him around.
"Yes, senior."
Chen Feng replied with a humble smile.
To outsiders, it seemed he was being bullied.
In reality, this was exactly what he wanted. If he didn't find a way to access various corners of the workshop, it would be difficult to learn the knowledge related to new energy vehicles in Japan.
After carrying a basket of raw materials, Ma Yuan didn't let Chen Feng go. Instead, he asked Chen Feng to help monitor the CNC machine.
Chen Feng was naturally delighted.
After monitoring the CNC machine for the entire morning, Chen Feng went to the cafeteria for lunch.
Unexpectedly, before he could even enter the cafeteria, he was stopped by Ma Yuan.
"Fujino, what are you doing?"
"Senior, it's lunchtime, and I'm going into the cafeteria to eat."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
"Eating? What a joke! You're not a regular employee, what right do you have to eat in the cafeteria?"
Ma Yuan said arrogantly.
"Understood, senior."
Chen Feng didn't argue with Ma Yuan and turned to leave.
Just then, a beautiful woman, around the same age as Cheng Lu, spoke up to defend Chen Feng.
"Fujishima-san, you're going too far. I've seen you bossing Fujino-kun around all morning, and now you won't even let Fujino-kun eat in the cafeteria."
The beautiful woman said while looking at Chen Feng with admiration.
Chen Feng was a bit confused. His current identity was just that of a trash collector, so why was this beautiful woman looking at him with such admiration?
"Miss Fujishima, you've misunderstood. It's not that I'm preventing Fujino from eating in the cafeteria, but there's a rule that only regular employees can eat there."
Ma Yuan quickly explained.
"Are you a cafeteria staff member?"
Fujishima Keiko retorted.
"I am not."
Ma Yuan replied awkwardly.
"Then it's settled. Since you're not cafeteria staff, why are you bothering yourself with this?"
Fujishima Keiko challenged Ma Yuan.
Ma Yuan's face turned red, and he could only slink away.
"Miss Fujishima, thank you for speaking up for me. However, senior Ma Yuan makes a valid point. There's a rule about the cafeteria, and I'm just a part-time worker, so I can't force my way in."
Saying this, Chen Feng turned to leave again.
"The rule that prohibits non-regular employees from eating in the cafeteria is wrong and doesn't need to be followed. Come, follow me into the cafeteria."
Fujishima Keiko continued to look at Chen Feng with admiration.
It turned out that from the moment Chen Feng entered the workshop, Fujishima Keiko had been deeply attracted to him.
He was tall, handsome, and especially charismatic, completely captivating her.
Subconsciously, Fujishima Keiko felt that Chen Feng was more than just a part-time trash collector.
"Miss Fujishima, isn't this inappropriate?"
Chen Feng asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, I have some seniority here at this new energy company. They won't say anything if I break such a wrong rule and bring you along."
Fujishima Keiko said with a smile.
When Chen Feng heard Fujishima Keiko say this, he no longer refused.
What happened next completely shattered Chen Feng's worldview.
From a few cafeteria workers, Chen Feng inadvertently learned that Fujishima Keiko was the daughter of the owner of Fujishima Corporation. She had just graduated from university and was undergoing grassroots training in the workshop.
"Miss Fujishima, I think I'll eat outside."
Chen Feng asked tentatively.
The seats they were sitting in were the private dining room exclusively used by the big bosses of Fujishima Corporation.
"Fujino-kun, you're smart enough to guess who I am. Since I'm the young lady of Fujishima Corporation, do you think they'll gossip if I have a meal with an employee?"
Fujishima Keiko revealed her hand.
"Miss Fujishima, you've misunderstood my meaning. I don't mean they'll gossip. I mean, I'm just a part-time trash collector, and my status is humble. I really don't have the right to dine with you."
Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"Fujino-kun, you shouldn't be so modest. There's no one else here, so tell me the truth, who are you really? And why are you at Fujishima Corporation?"
Fujishima Keiko stared intently at Chen Feng.
"Miss Fujishima, you know everything?"
Chen Feng dared not look at Fujishima Keiko.
"Fujino-kun... No, I shouldn't call you Fujino-kun. Your accent sounds a bit like a Chinese accent. I'm a top graduate from a key university in Japan, and I have basic judgment skills. Speak up, before I call someone over, that would be awkward."
With Fujishima Keiko pressing him like this, Chen Feng had no choice but to tell her everything.
"What? You... you are really Chinese?"
Fujishima Keiko asked excitedly.
"Yes."
"No wonder you're so tall; Japanese people are generally shorter. By the way, you said you are a Vice Town Mayor of China. Is that a high position?"
Fujishima Keiko asked with excited curiosity.
"It's a grassroots official position."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
"Chen Feng, how about this? Don't go back to China. Just stay at Fujishima Corporation, and I guarantee you a position better than Vice Town Mayor."
Fujishima Keiko said excitedly.
"Miss Fujishima, thank you for your kindness. I never thought about staying in Japan. You've been very good to me, so I'll be honest with you. China and Japan are historical enemies, and I can't possibly stay in Japan."
Chen Feng said with a solemn expression, preparing himself to be rebuffed by Fujishima Keiko.
To his surprise, Fujishima Keiko not only didn't get angry but looked at Chen Feng with even greater admiration.
Chen Feng was bewildered.
"Miss Fujishima, shouldn't you be angry?"
"With your manly demeanor and patriotism, why should I be angry? To be honest, over the years, I've seen many Chinese people who come to Japan, and they've disgusted me. They constantly slander China and grovel like dogs to Japan. People without backbone like that are truly disgusting. By the way, Chen Feng, what is your purpose in coming to Fujishima Corporation this time?"
Fujishima Keiko gazed at Chen Feng with a doting expression.
