The Japanese bow to you, that doesn't necessarily mean they are friendly towards you; it might be that they are wary and defensive. Moreover, the Japanese have always been ingratiating towards Americans and Europeans, while discriminating against Chinese and other Asian races, often assuming the identity of a major Asian nation.
In recent years, naturally, there have been many Japanese who expressed goodwill toward Li Ruo, even pursuing her. Unfortunately, Li Ruo really doesn't have any favorable impression of the Japanese. So, she has always been very dismissive of them.
This time, surprisingly, a representative from the Zhu Clan Association in China personally traveled from Beijing to Jianghuai City, seeking Li Ruo for negotiations, claiming they wanted to invest in the North City District project. However, Li Ruo declined, citing abundant funding. She didn't expect them to come again this time.
