Training the Heavens

Chapter 105 Why Reward Her

All the staff of Tokuma Shoten's book publishing department came out, holding flowers and holding banners to welcome Gao Jialin's arrival. The banner still read "Welcome Teacher Gao Jialin to Japan."

Gao Jialin felt very regretful after seeing this. This time he had an interpreter with him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to realize his wish in the future. Fortunately, he was only 92 years old this year, and he would be only in , which was the golden time in a man's life. It would not be too late to realize his wish in the future then.

"Sensei, you are finally here. Readers all over Japan are waiting for you!" Chinatsu Tsuboi, who has the most outstanding appearance and figure in the book publishing department, wore a black silk suit and presented a huge bouquet of flowers to Gao Jialin with both hands.

"Thank you." Gao Jialin's gaze lingered on her for a moment. If he came alone, she would probably come knocking on his door at night with just one hint.

"Sensei, you must have had a tiring journey. Please go to the hotel to rest for a while, and then have dinner with the president in the evening. The president has reserved the best restaurant in Tokyo for you. I hope you like it." Yasuki Wada said respectfully.

"Thank you all for your kindness, and thank you Mr. Tokuma for your warm hospitality." Gao Jialin felt the benefits of success. The last time he met Tokuma Yasushi, the time he spent with him was very short, and they just had a brief chat. But now, the president of such a large company has to take time out to have dinner with him. This is the difference.

Everyone escorted Gao Jialin out. As soon as they passed the exit, they saw a large group of people rushing over, holding "Showa American Story" in their hands and shouting, "Sensei, Gao Jialin Sensei, please sign for me!"

Wada Jingshu immediately broke out in a sweat and quickly apologized to Gao Jialin, "Sensei, we definitely didn't reveal your whereabouts. Maybe someone saw the banner and followed us!"

"It doesn't matter. This also allows me to see the enthusiasm of Japanese readers. I can select a few readers to give them autographs." This was Gao Jialin's first appearance in front of Japanese readers, so naturally he had to leave a good impression on them.

"Okay, Sensei, but please be quick, otherwise more and more people will gather and the airport will protest." Yasuki Wada had to ask Heita Nibu and others to maintain order and select a few lucky people to come for Gao Jialin's autograph.

"Hello, Sensei, I really love your book!" The first reader who came over was so excited that he almost fainted.

"To Kurosawa Shin, you are the first Japanese reader to get my autograph. Thank you for your support!" Gao Jialin asked the high school girl's name, took out a pen and signed this long string of words on the title page.

After the translation was finished, Kurosawa was so surprised that he almost couldn't breathe. Tears burst out and it took him a long time to recover. "Sensei, this is the most precious gift I have ever received in my life. I will definitely treat it like a family heirloom."

"She is probably the luckiest high school student in Japan today. This autograph will definitely be auctioned for a sky-high price in the future!" Yasuki Wada whispered in Chinatsu Tsuboi's ear. In fact, even he was jealous.

If he had reacted earlier and asked Gao Jialin for an autograph, he would have been the first to get the autograph. Given the popularity of "Showa American Story", this book would definitely be eligible for auction in the future.

After signing ten autographs, Wada Jingshu saw that more and more people were gathering together, so he realized that Gao Jialin could not sign any more autographs. He quickly shouted, "Everyone, I'm very sorry. Sensei just got off the plane and was very tired. I can't sign autographs for you anymore. Please let Sensei go to the hotel to rest early. We at Tokuma Shoten will hold a book signing event for Sensei soon, and it won't be too late for you to line up then." The people in this regard were pretty good. After hearing this, even if they were reluctant, they all stepped back. At most, they picked up their cameras to take a few photos. Almost no one came over shamelessly to ask for his autograph.

After leaving the airport, they boarded a stretched Mercedes-Benz. When the accompanying translator Hua Shaolin got in the car, he didn't know where to put his hands. He had never ridden in such a high-end car before.

When they arrived at the hotel, Hua Shaolin once again felt the corruption of capitalism. Tokuma Shoten arranged for them to stay at the famous Prince Hotel. This hotel is located in the bustling minato area, close to Tokyo Tower. Once it was built, it became an important landmark in Tokyo.

The hotel also attached great importance to Gao Jialin's arrival. They hung a huge poster of "Showa American Story" on the outer wall and prepared a special welcome ceremony for him. More than ten waiters lined up at the door and bowed to welcome his arrival.

The room is a large suite of more than 200 square meters, equipped with a study, living room, conference room, kitchen, and gym. Even if Gao Jialin invites a bunch of people to have a party, it will not be a problem.

After taking a short nap, Gao Jialin got up, washed, changed his clothes, and went out to knock on Hua Shaolin's door. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well from the look of him. It was not his fault. He had only stayed in hotels in China a few times, let alone such a high-end five-star hotel?
I went downstairs to meet up with Yasuki Wada, and got in the car to go to the restaurant that Yasushi Tokuma had booked.

The so-called ryotei are expensive restaurants in hidden locations. They originated in the Edo period. Representatives of daimyo from all over the country used these ryotei as a cover to conduct some private communications. Today, they have evolved into high-end restaurants for dignitaries to entertain guests.

Tokuma Yasushi quickly invited Gao Jialin to enjoy delicious food made with expensive ingredients such as Wagyu beef, bluefin tuna, Aomori abalone, and talked to him about the plans for the next few days.

Gao Jialin cooperated very well. He signed books, went to TV talk shows, and accepted interviews from well-known reporters. He did whatever he was asked to do. At the end, he made his own request, hoping that Tokuma Shoten would give him a few training places and notify those comics companies and TV stations to give some as well.

Tokuma Yasukai already had a good relationship with China, and now Gao Jialin had helped him make so much money, it was naturally difficult to refuse such a small thing, so he readily agreed, and also offered to help Gao Jialin to negotiate with the comics company and TV station.

After dinner, Gao Jialin returned to the hotel to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning and opened the door, I saw Yasuki Wada and Chinatsu Tsuboi waiting at the door. It felt like they had been waiting here for a long time. These two people showed the Japanese people's courtesy to the fullest.

After accompanying Gao Jialin to breakfast, Wada Jingshu said, "Sensei, thank you for your hard work. According to today's schedule, you need to go to TV Asahi to participate in the talk show "Teruko's Room" and be interviewed by a reporter from the Yomiuri Shimbun in the afternoon."

"Since Chinatsu can speak Chinese, she will accompany you. You can ask her for anything you want. If she goes against your wishes, you can scold her directly, even slap her in the face!"

Huh? Gao Jialin was very confused. Why should he reward her?
