Word came unexpectedly to Long Jianfei that Luo Feng had proposed the idea of facilitating such an exchange.
Luo Feng cheerfully responded, “Let’s first head there and see what artifacts are on offer!”
Long Jianfei did not comment, merely nodding in agreement.
In other words, Luo Feng’s proposal was indicative of his intent to explore, but not necessarily to commit to an exchange.
Around half past seven, Luo Feng and his team’s plane began its ascent.
By eleven-thirty, they had already landed at the airport in Tokyo.
Curiously, Luo Feng asked, “Elder Long, is this your first visit here?”
Elder Long shook his head, “I have had the opportunity to come before. I was here for discussions about some artifacts years ago, and I even learned some basic Japanese!”
Luo Feng nodded, then asked, “Have you ever visited Shinjuku?”
Long Jianfei seemed confused, ‘What place is that? I have never heard of it.”
Luo Feng elaborated, “The district known for its song and dance!”
Long Jianfei seemed to understand, and quickly replied, “Of course I haven’t been there. How could I have if I had never even heard of it before!” “I haven’t heard of it either, but it sounds like a legitimate place, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it does sound quite legitimate!”
The remaining team members, sharing these thoughts, brought a bitter smile to Luo Feng’s face.
What a farce.
You could at least try to make it more believable.
Anyone could tell you knew of this place.
However, Luo Feng did not press further.
It was just a lighthearted topic, after all.
Long Jianfei changed the subject, “The international museum’s lack of courtesy is astonishing. We arrived, and there was no one to greet us. How outrageous! Do they think we are here begging them, thus the display of arrogance?”
“It does seem quite arrogant!”
During such visits and artifact exhibitions,
It was common to have a designated host who would warmly welcome the guests.
For instance, if a foreign delegation visited China, they would be accommodated in a five-star hotel, and important figures would be there to greet them.
Despite past conflicts, a visiting guest was always a friend.
As the old Chinese saying goes, “Isn’t it a joy to have friends coming from afar?”
In terms of this magnanimity, China has always been a country known for its politeness, and this is no empty claim.
Places like Japan and Korea, on the other hand, have shown much less hospitality.
Now, the museum director from the Palace Museum, which is one of the largest in China, had arrived, and yet there was no one to receive him.
Moreover, there was also Luo Feng.
Although Luo Feng held no official position, his name was well-known internationally. Yet, was there no one to receive even him?
However, neither of them minded the lack of reception. They merely found the hosts to be rather petty.
Did they genuinely think they had the upper hand this time?
Upon leaving the airport, the team hailed a taxi, with Elder Long demonstrating his rudimentary Japanese skills.
Luo Feng sat in the front passenger seat, while the others took the back seats.
“Mr. Luo, what’s interesting about the district you mentioned earlier?” a team member suddenly asked.
“Umm…,” Luo Feng was momentarily speechless. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “I don’t know, this is my first time visiting the Cherry Blossom Country. I merely mentioned it based on what I’ve read online.”
Long Jianfei suggested, “If everyone wants to go, we can visit after the exchange is done. I, too, enjoy exploring local cultures!” Saying this, he glanced at Luo Feng and chuckled. “Yes, it would indeed be a good opportunity to broaden our horizons.” Luo Feng responded with a smile, remaining silent.
This old man, Long Jianfei, was harder to read than expected.
Playing coy, indeed.
He should have just admitted his interest.
Speaking of studying other countries’ cultures,
That was a bit much.
Around twelve, Luo Feng and his team arrived at a moderately luxurious hotel.
The price, while not exorbitant, was around seven to eight hundred per night, a mid-range hotel.
After checking in, everyone went to their respective rooms to settle their belongings.
Luo Feng requested a couple’s room.
The only couple in the team.
Everyone knew that Li Shishi was Luo Feng’s woman, so there was nothing surprising.
As for Luo Feng having another woman, Qin Rubing, everyone was aware of this as well.
Su Meiji had also had an encounter with him.
With the time they had spent together, who didn’t know these things?
Apparently, the rumor that Qin Rubing and Li Shishi were sharing Luo Feng had also gotten out.
Who knew who had spilled the beans?
Regardless, several people were aware. “Let’s grab a bite to eat first. After that, we’ll plan our next step.”
Upon arriving in the Cherry Blossom Country,
It was natural to taste the local specialties.
After all, one can’t come to a place like this and not indulge in the cuisine, right?
