Chapter 600: Only One Opportunity Away
Xin Kalan was quite surprised after hearing this.
Chen Bin signaled her to translate quickly.
After learning Chen Bin's thoughts, Kuizi found it a bit unbelievable.
"How come you're suddenly inviting me to work in Huaxia?"
"Because there's a lack of talent in the anime industry in Huaxia. As the TV station director, I want to develop animation as a long-term career, so I really need talents like Ms. Kuizi."
Kuizi glanced at Kawashima Yoshiko sitting next to her, looking a bit at a loss.
After all, this invitation came so suddenly, she wasn't mentally prepared at all.
Fearing her refusal, Chen Bin immediately asked Xin Kalan to translate it for him.
"I know my invitation is a bit abrupt, Ms. Kuizi, you don't have to rush to give me an answer."
Kuizi nodded, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully!"
As the food was served, the four of them chatted in English.
However, Kawashima Yoshiko and Kuizi's English wasn't very good, making the conversation seem like a blur.
Not long after, Kawashima Yoshiko secretly kicked Chen Bin under the table and then went to the restroom.
Seeing this, Chen Bin said something to Xin Kalan and then followed her.
In the hallway by the emergency exit, Chen Bin first returned the room card to Kawashima Yoshiko, then passionately kissed her pink lips.
It wasn't until Kawashima Yoshiko's legs went weak from the kiss and she was breathless that Chen Bin let go.
Recalling the sensation of floating into the clouds from last night, the already swollen Yougu between Kawashima Yoshiko's legs tingled.
She looked at Chen Bin with a hint of desire in her gaze.
Then, Chen Bin whispered softly in English in her ear.
"I will be leaving Japan soon. If there's a chance, I hope you can come to Huaxia to find me."
After slipping a piece of paper with his phone number into Kawashima Yoshiko's hand, Chen Bin pinched her adorable cheek and then turned to leave.
Kawashima Yoshiko stared blankly at the phone number in her hand.
It took her a while to come back to her senses.
When she returned to the private room, Chen Bin and Xin Kalan had already left.
That afternoon, under Ye and Miyamoto's lead, Chen Bin visited a few other TV stations.
In the evening, he got in touch with Jiucai Hezi.
He planned to visit Fuji Mountain TV Station the next day.
Jiucai Hezi agreed and even asked about the hotel where Chen Bin was staying.
She said she would send a car to pick them up in the afternoon.
The next day, after lunch, Chen Bin received a call from Jiucai Hezi.
She told him to hurry downstairs as the car had arrived.
After Chen Bin and company walked out of the hotel, they saw three luxury cars parked at the entrance.
The lead car was a red Maserati, followed by two black Mercedes.
Jiucai Hezi stood next to the Maserati, signaling for the people behind Chen Bin to sit in the two Mercedes.
As for Chen Bin, she chose a special treatment for him.
"If you want, you can ride in my car."
Since Jiucai Hezi was speaking in English, of all the people present, only Xin Kalan understood.
Without thinking much, Chen Bin nodded with a smile and walked over to the Maserati.
Xin Kalan frowned slightly before heading to the Mercedes.
On the way to Fuji Mountain TV Station, Jiucai Hezi's Maserati led the way.
The two Mercedes followed closely behind.
Sensing the somber atmosphere, Chen Bin took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Hezi, when are you going back to the Beautiful Country?"
"That, I don't know. My dad is pushing me to do it every day. It's driving me crazy!"
Jiucai Hezi seemed very averse to the Beautiful Country, her expression looking somewhat unpleasant.
Chen Bin immediately spoke up, "If you don't want to go to the Beautiful Country, you could always check out Huaxia."
"What would I do there? There's nothing I'm interested in."
"Huaxia's five thousand years of history has plenty to interest you, you just haven't discovered it yet."
Noticing the slight awkwardness in Chen Bin's tone, Jiucai Hezi quickly replied.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend Huaxia, I just said that offhandedly."
"Your family has such a big company, you could totally consider entering the Huaxia market. If you carve out a niche there, your dad definitely wouldn't force you to go to the Beautiful Country anymore."
"But I'm not interested in business. My dream is to be a fashion designer."
"Interest can be nurtured over time. When I first joined the TV station, I hated it, but I had to face various challenges. As I overcame them, I gradually fell in love with my work."
Turning his head to see Chen Bin's serious expression, Jiucai Hezi seemed a bit hesitant.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
"No, I'm just being honest. Some things you only become interested in after trying them. Besides, I think business and being a fashion designer aren't necessarily at odds."
Hearing this, Jiucai Hezi felt a sudden enlightenment.
She immediately started chatting more proactively with Chen Bin.
The deeper they went into the conversation, the more she realized that Chen Bin was not a simple person.
It seemed Jingshang Taiyi's judgment was quite accurate.
Upon reaching Fuji Mountain TV Station, an assistant director received Chen Bin and the others.
Chen Bin thought a simple tour would suffice, but they were taken directly to the recording site of a program.
He was allowed to watch the entire recording process as an audience member.
There's no denying that Japan is quite skilled in entertainment programming.
But those segments where they make fun of guests to the extreme wouldn't work in Huaxia.
When they left Fuji Mountain TV Station, it was already evening.
After Jiucai Hezi treated a few of them to dinner, she sent a car to drive Chen Bin and his group back the way they came.
On the way, Jiucai Hezi suddenly asked, "Mr. Chen, are you heading back tomorrow?"
"Yes. Our flight is at nine in the morning."
"I have some family stuff around that time, so I might not be able to see you off."
"That's alright, we'll have more opportunities to meet in the future."
As they spoke, the two also shook hands.
Just as Jiucai Hezi was about to retract her hand, Chen Bin held it tightly.
Then he lightly kissed the back of her hand.
In an instant, Jiucai Hezi's face was covered in blush.
The car slowly stopped, and even when they were at the hotel entrance, she showed no intention of getting out.
Seeing her shy demeanor, Chen Bin's lips curled up slightly in a smile.
"Hezi, I have your number. Make sure to pick up when I call."
Jiucai Hezi still didn't say anything and just nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Bin didn't say much else.
After waving goodbye to her, he joined Xin Kalan and the others at the back to return to the hotel.
The next morning, after a phone call with Jingshang Taiyi, Chen Bin boarded the plane back home.
He took a deep breath, reflecting on the fruitful trip to Japan.
Especially with his relationship with Xin Kalan, it was just a breakthrough away...
