To give the simplest example, if you do a clerical job in a Japanese company, you will have a headache in summer.
Because most Japanese companies require their employees to wear formal attire during working hours, even in the middle of summer, they must wear a shirt, suit, and even a tie.
Therefore, Japanese entrepreneurs hold press conferences or attend public events, regardless of age, all in formal wear.
And the Japanese like to bow, because they are talking here, and then they suddenly stand up ninety degrees and take a bow, then sit down and continue talking.
Therefore, Takehiko’s current state is particularly unsuitable as a company’s external spokesperson.
Although Nanako is young, she has a very good image and is especially in line with the Japanese aesthetics. She is responsible for the outside world. For the Ito family, it is the best choice.
Charlie is also very optimistic about Nanako, and encourages her, “If Nanako takes over the Ito family, it has the potential to turn the Ito family into an Internet celebrity company. The media will definitely beat the beauty president’s personal settings. Setting up a successful establishment will enable the Ito family to achieve a multiplier effect in their careers.”
When Nanako heard Charlie’s words, she couldn’t help being a little embarrassed, and said with a blushing face: “Master Wade should stop making a joke about me. I don’t have the temperament of a beautiful president. It’s nothing more than catching ducks on the shelves. I have to do it.”
Charlie earnestly said: “Don’t be presumptuous. With your perfect image and temperament, you will definitely become a beauty entrepreneur crazily sought after by all of Japan in the future, and maybe you will become a business card of the Japanese business community overseas.”
Nanako was so complimented by Charlie, she was ashamed and happy, and because she was a young girl who had just started her love, she had no ability to hide her own ability in this kind of thing, so she could only lower her head deeper and deeper.
Takehiko immediately saw his daughter’s extraordinary. At this moment, he was already certain that his daughter had fallen in love with Charlie.
Observing for a moment, he strengthened his opinion.
At this moment, as a father, he felt a little melancholy in his heart, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved for his daughter’s emotional maturity.
So he opened his mouth and said: “Emi, Nanako, you two go out first, I want to talk with Mr. Charlie in private!”
