Chapter 1819
Seeing that Charlie declined his proposal temporarily, Ito sighed regretfully.
He really hoped that Charlie would be able to set up the stall of ocean shipping.
Because at this stage, the bulk of Asian ocean shipping is in China.
More than half of the top ten busiest ports in the world are in China. Only with such a huge import and export trade can the huge ocean shipping industry be supported.
This is beyond the reach of Japan.
Therefore, even if the Ito family wants to do it themselves, there is not enough market and demand support in the local area, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
So he said to Charlie: “Mr. Charlie, the Ito family will gradually hand over to Nanako for operation and management. If you change your mind, you can contact her at any time. I believe you will be able to establish a very good foundation for cooperation.”
Charlie nodded lightly and said seriously: “If I have this idea, I will definitely contact Miss Nanako.”
Takehiko smiled and said: “Nanako is a good girl. I dare say that in terms of overall conditions, in Japan you may not be able to find a better girl than her. Whoever marries her is to marry the best Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko. Will become the envy of men all over the world.”
Charlie smiled kindly, but did not answer.
Knowing that freezing three feet is not a day’s cold, Ito said: “Mr. Charlie, you and the little girl are tired and have no rest at night, so I will send you to the house to take a rest first.”
Charlie waved his hand: “No need Mr. Ito, I have something to do, I have to hurry back to Osaka, so I won’t bother you too much.”
“That’s how it works.” Takehiko seriously said: “Mr. Charlie, you drove over overnight. You have not rested or even eaten any food. If you just leave, then the hospitality that my Ito family ancestors upheld, Wouldn’t it be reduced to a laughing stock.”
As he said, he didn’t wait for Charlie to refuse, and hurriedly pressed the pager on the bedside, and said: “Let Emi and Nanako come in.”
After a while, Nanako and Emi knocked gently on the door and entered the ward.
Nanako asked softly, “Odosan, what’s your order?”
Takehiko Ito said to Emi: “Emi, Mr. Charlie and Nanako have worked very hard all night. You arrange for someone to send them back to the house to rest. Remember to call ahead and let the chef prepare the best dishes!”
Emi hurriedly said, “OK brother!”
Charlie said sincerely: “Mr. Ito, really don’t bother, I will just drive back to Osaka directly.”
Takehiko said very solemnly: “Mr. Charlie, even if you want to go back to Osaka, you should at least sit down at the house for a while, eat a meal, have a cup of tea, and then leave!”
Nanako also persuaded from the side: “Yeah, Master Wade, the mansion is not far from here, you can eat something, take a rest and set off again, it’s not light yet!”
In the middle of the night, the two arrived in Tokyo by car for travelling more than three hours, and it was only four o’clock in the morning.
And it’s winter again now, and it’s already late, and it will take at least two hours before dawn.
Seeing that both father and daughter were so polite, Charlie had to agree, and said, “If this is the case, then I’m better off being respectful.”
Upon hearing this, Emi hurriedly said, “Then I will arrange the convoy. Now there are a lot of people from the TMPD. They will be escorted and protected all the way. Safety is definitely guaranteed.”
Takehiko nodded and exhorted: “You must be a good host to entertain Mr. Charlie.”

Chapter 1820
Emi quickly arranged a team to accompany them, and Charlie still drove the car he came in.
Nanako also got into Charlie’s car without hesitation.
Afterwards, Charlie drove the car and, under the leadership of the convoy, went to the residence of the Ito family.
Although Tokyo is one of the most expensive cities in the world, the Ito family also owns a private manor in a quiet place.
The entire manor is designed with Japanese-style ancient buildings, which is very simple, but it reveals low-key luxury everywhere.
Charlie found that even the wood used to build the house was extraordinary.
It seems that the top big families have no place to spend more money, so when building and decorating, they are completely trying to spill money everywhere. If you can use high-end ones, you definitely don’t need ordinary ones, you can use imported ones. Never use local ones.
In the final analysis, it is still a sentence, only choose the expensive, not the right one.
Because Emi called in advance, the servants of the entire Ito residence were all neatly dressed, waiting respectfully at the entrance of the residence, in the courtyard and inside the villa.
Charlie parked the car and, led by Nanako, walked through the beautiful courtyard and walked all the way to the door of the villa. All the servants along the way bowed 90 degrees, with a very humble attitude.
The villa of the Ito family in Tokyo is a huge multi-storey wooden building. The whole building looks like a huge ancient temple, and the internal space is surprisingly large.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Nanako suddenly leaned down and knelt on the ground, holding both hands empty, and said to Charlie: “Master, please let me change slippers for you!”
Charlie was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand: “No need, no, give me slippers, I’ll just do it myself.”
Nanako insisted, “I should help Master to change it. This is a Japanese tradition, and Master should just go to the countryside and do as the customs.”
Charlie thought to himself, China has long been equal between men and women, why in Japan, women still kneel and change shoes for men?
But then thinking about it, since it is a custom of others, they may not feel that there is anything wrong with this. If they insist on opposing it, they will break the other party’s rules.
So he had to lift his feet up and said sincerely: “Then work hard, Miss Nanako.”
Nanako, who was still wearing a kimono, looked up at Charlie, and smiled ashamed. She was so beautiful.
Afterwards, she gently held Charlie’s feet with both hands, and gently changed him a pair of slippers, then slowly stood up and said: “Master, please!”
Charlie nodded slightly and walked in with her.
Nanako introduced to him: “This house has a history of more than a hundred years. It was severely damaged during the Great Kanto Earthquake. Because the repair cost was too high, no one paid attention to it. Later, it was taken by the father. He bought it and spent huge sums of money to repair it, and it looks like this now.”
Charlie asked curiously: “Mr. Ito seems to have a soft spot for this old house? The house in Kyoto looks much older than this one.”
Nanako smiled softly: “In fact, it’s mainly because I like this style of architecture. After I moved from Kyoto to Tokyo at the age of fourteen, I have not been accustomed to life in Tokyo, so my father bought it here and spent a lot of money to repair it and it became what it is now.”
With that, Nanako said with emotion: “But I still like Kyoto more.”
Charlie nodded and said, “This mansion is quiet in the noisy city, and it has an ancient flavor and charm. It is already very good, but the Kyoto one is indeed better.”
Nanako said in a sad tone: “My father asked me to take over the family affairs. It seems that I will rarely have the opportunity to go back in the future…”
After finishing speaking, she looked up at Charlie, and asked a little pleading: “Master, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?”
