Chapter 1160 [Reason] (Part 2)
Wu Nao Masayo's smile was filled with coldness. In his eyes, Zhang Yang was just one of the officials in China who were like the sands of the Ganges River. He was not qualified to be on par with him. If it weren't for his son, Wu Nao Masayo would never have made such concessions and condescend to invite an official from a county-level city in China to dinner. Although he knew that Zhang Yang had some background, these backgrounds were not enough to be the reason why he looked up to him.
Although it was the first time we met with Masao Takeno, Zhang Yang already felt the arrogance of this person. The smile on Masao Takeno's face still could not hide his arrogance and disdain. He whispered: "Mr. Zhang is still young and does not understand the past history."
Zhang Yang said: "I see much deeper history than ambassadors." Zhang Daguanren said this sentence is definitely not polite. I came through the Sui Dynasty from the Sui Dynasty. If you talk about seniority, I don't know how much higher than you are. Talking about history with me? I am full of history, and I am a living antique.
Takenar Masao smiled and said, "The understanding of history is different. We have different perspectives on history, so we naturally have different views."
Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Ambassador's words made me a little confused. In your opinion, did you Japan launch a war of aggression against China?"
Taken Masao said: "Mr. Zhang, I am not looking for you today to talk about history!"
Zhang Daguan Ren said: "What is the ambassador looking for me today?"
Takenar Masao said: "I invite Mr. Zhang to come today, and I apologize to you for the sake of the sir."
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "The matter has been resolved. Your young master has agreed to publicly apologize in the newspaper and take responsibility for the crimes he committed. We Chinese are magnanimous and do not harm our parents. Wu Zhiyingnan is already an adult, and he should be responsible for his wrong behavior."
Takenar Masao said: "I am a diplomat. From my professional perspective, this matter shouldn't have been so big."
Zhang Yang said: "I didn't want to make things worse, but your side lacks sincerity in this incident, not only dares not bear the consequences. He also attempts to blame us for the incident. It is precisely because some of your people lack the spirit and courage to take responsibility that has caused our current situation. I personally think that you should reflect on it." Zhang Daren obviously did not leave any kindness to him because Masao Shi was the deputy ambassador of the Japanese side.
Taken Masao said: "Mr. Zhang may not realize that today's things will bring you a lot of trouble!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Can I understand this sentence from Mr. Ambassador as a threat?"
Takenar Masao shook his head and said, "Since I have agreed with the result of this incident, I will not make any violation of the rules. However, does Mr. Zhang know that your behavior has offended the Japanese martial arts community?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Did the Ambassador say that I defeated Yagyu Masato?"
Taken Masaino said: "Mr. Zhang does not know the status of the Yagyu family and the Hattori family in Japan."
Zhang Yang picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip of sake and said, "As long as you come openly, I'm not afraid!"
Takenar Masao smiled and nodded, slowly pushing a letter to Zhang Yang: "The Yagyu family entrusts me to bring you a letter."
Zhang Yang was slightly stunned. He picked up the letter and noticed that the corners of Nakashima Kawata's eyes twitched, obviously a little nervous. Zhang Yang smiled and handed the letter to Nakashima Kawata: "I don't understand Japanese, Mr. Nakashima, please take a look."
Nakashima Kawata opened the envelope, glanced at Takenar Masao again, and Takenar Masao signaled him to read it out loud.
Zhang Daren knew before he finished listening that this was the number one master of the Yagyu family, Yoshio Yagyu, who had given him a letter of war. He defeated Yagyu Masato, which made the entire Yagyu family feel ashamed. So people who traveled across the ocean were coming to find their own bad luck.
Zhang Yang did not think this was just an ordinary dispute between the world, and Masao Yu obviously played a role in the promotion.
After reading the letter, Nakashimakawa Tae nodded and said, "Okay, help me reply to a letter and say I agree." After saying this, he stood up and said goodbye. Takenar Masao asked him for this meal not to show weakness and reconciliation, but to demonstrate and challenge.
Jing Inoue sent Zhang Yang out of the door and came to Zhang Yang's car. Jing Inoue suddenly sighed: "Why is Secretary Zhang unwilling to make a little concession?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "What does Mr. Inoue mean?"
Inoue Yasushi said: "Mr. Takenao is a person who values face and he came from the capital. It is enough to show his sincerity. If Secretary Zhang agrees to give up the request to ask Takenao Hideo to publicly apologize, perhaps he can mediate from it and let the Yagyu family cancel the challenge to you."
Zhang Yang said, "If I don't agree, will the one from the Yagyu family, Yifu Yanagi, find my door?" He looked at Inoue Yasushi and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you Japanese samurai?"
Inoue Yasushi said: "Yo Yuiyo is the number one master of swordsmanship in the Yagyu family. He will see blood when he takes action! Since he has made his mark in the Japanese swordsmanship world, he has not suffered a single defeat in fifteen years."
Zhang Daren's tone was full of sarcasm: "It sounds very powerful."
Inoue Yasushi said: "Secretary Zhang should think carefully."
Zhang Yang said: "There is nothing to consider. If this Yagyu Yoshio wants to humiliate himself, let him come. Also, help me tell the ambassador that my request will not change. If he is really unhappy, then don't hand someone else the war letter. If he comes in person, I will make an exception to accept his challenge."
The public apology letter from Takeshi Nao-young appeared in Pinghai Daily the next day. This agreement with Zhang Yang also means that he completely admits defeat to Zhang Yang. Although his apology letter did not appear on the front page and did not occupy much space, it has a very important meaning in the interpretation of many people. The people watched the excitement, and what they saw was that the Japanese bowed their heads to us Chinese. Many leaders saw that the dispute was resolved. The Japanese apology was loved by them, and it also meant that Zhang Yang's trouble ended here.
Official Zhang wanted to return to Beigang immediately after solving this matter, but suddenly received a call from Governor Zhou Xingmin, asking him to go to the Governor's office.
Zhang Yang naturally did not dare to neglect the call from the governor. After receiving the call, he came to Zhou Xingmin on time at the agreed time.
When Zhang Yang came to Zhou Xingmin's office, Zhou Xingmin was talking to Liang Tianzheng, secretary of the Dongjiang Municipal Party Committee. When he saw Zhang Yang coming in, Zhou Xingmin waved to him and said, "You are here just right."
Zhang Yang said: "Hello Governor Zhou, Hello Secretary Liang. You two are having such a lively chat. Isn't it related to me?"
Liang Tianzheng said: "How come it doesn't matter? It's about you."
Zhang Yang said: "A good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhou Xingmin said: "Think about it carefully, have you done bad things or good things recently?"
Zhang Daguanren looked like he was thinking hard: "I really can't remember it. There are too many facts that I have done well recently."
Liang Tianzheng laughed, and Zhou Xingmin said, "I'll just say that this kid's face is getting thicker and thicker. Secretary Liang and I are talking about things. Recently, many Japanese-funded enterprises have begun to significantly reduce their staff, reduce their investment, and even close their factories in Dongjiang."
Zhang Yang said: "This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Liang Tianzheng said: "We didn't say that this matter is related to you. It just happened to be the same as two things recently, so we will discuss the recent Sino-Japanese relations."
Zhang Daguanren smiled and said, "The Sino-Japanese relations are too big, and it's not my turn to worry about it."
Liang Tianzheng said: "I have a meeting in the morning. You guys talk first, I have to leave."
Zhang Yang stood up and saw him out, and Liang Tianzheng waved his hand to signal him not to give him away.
Official Zhang insisted on sending Liang Tianzheng out of the door, then closed the door, returned to Liang Tianzheng's seat just now, and sat down, and said with a smile: "What are the instructions for the governor to summon me?"
Zhou Xingmin said: "Of course there is something important to find you."
Zhang Yang said, "I'll listen!" He thought to himself, was Zhou Xingmin because of Wu Zhiying's affairs?
Zhou Xingmin said: "Let's talk about the recent Sino-Japanese conflict in Binhai. This incident has been plagued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Pinghai has not had such diplomatic disputes in recent years. You kid are the first to Pinghai."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Governor Zhou, this matter has been successfully resolved. The culprit of the matter has been found. The Japanese side has solemnly apologized to us for their rude behavior. There is an apology statement in Pinghai Daily today. Didn't you read it?" Zhang Yang noticed that there was a Pinghai Daily on Zhou Xingmin's table when he spoke. This shows that Zhou Xingmin should know about this.
Zhou Xingmin said: "Recently, Japanese companies have laid off significantly, and many Japanese companies in Dongjiang have closed down."
Zhang Yang said: "These things have nothing to do with me. I also know about the closure of Japanese companies. The economic situation in Asia is not good now. Not to mention the Japanese-funded enterprises here, even their local areas have been affected a lot. Besides, their layoffs and closures have started since the beginning of the year. Can't they all rely on me, right?"
Zhou Xingmin said: "What are you anxious about? I said it was your reason? Before I could finish speaking, I was anxious to pick myself out. Are you guilty?"
Zhang Yang said: "I'm not guilty, I feel cowardly, so I wonder, why do you not take good care of me when you encounter good things? When you encounter such bad things, you will be all on my head? Am I born to take the blame? Is the Gulf War and the African National Holocaust difficult? Chengdu has something to do with me?"
Zhou Xingmin laughed and scolded: "Boy, why are you complaining to me? Are you angry? Why are you feeling depressed? Tell me!"
