Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 941 Honesty and Submission

After leaving Hexi Information Consulting Company, Hideki Hanyu went to Hurley Private Club under the guidance of Olivia Hurley.

Hideki Hanyu originally thought that Hurley's private club was located in Washington.

But after we set off, we found out that Hurley's private club was not in Washington, but in Arlington County west of Washington.

The two places are only about ten kilometers apart, separated by the Potomac River.

Speaking of this place alone, some people in China may not be aware of it.

But when it comes to the headquarters of the American Department of Defense, the iconic Pentagon, everyone must know it.

The Pentagon is located in Arlington County.

Here is also the Arlington National Cemetery, which is also very famous in the United States.

In later generations, Arlington County was also known as one of the safest areas in America.

It was a short distance and the car didn’t drive long at all before Hideki Hanyu arrived at the Hurley Private Club.

According to the information originally provided by Karl Map, this high-end private club founded by Mr. Hurley has been in existence for more than 20 years.

Although it is not the oldest in Washington DC, it is the fastest growing one.

Even after Mr. Hurley's sudden death, the club's business did not decline.

Of course, it was only temporary. Although Mrs. Hurley successfully inherited part of her ex-husband's property, she also stabilized herself with her own abilities.

But Mr. Hurley's partners and some relatives have not stopped their secret covetousness.

The most important point is that although Mrs. Hurley followed her ex-husband and met many important people in Washington.

However, because the marriage was too short, the core network of contacts was not deeply involved, and it was obviously impossible for her to continue to maintain the original status of the Hurley Club like her ex-husband.

This is also the reason why Karl Map dared to target the Hurley Club.

Karl Map originally wanted to win over Mr. Hurley just to cooperate with him.

With the help of Hideki Hanyu, although he developed very quickly in Washington DC, he still could not make up for his shortcomings of short time and shallow foundation.

If we can work with Mr. Hurley, we can make up for this in the shortest possible time.

But now that Mr. Hurley has passed away, Karl Map has naturally had more thoughts.

If it's just cooperation, how can it compare to swallowing up Hurley's private club in one gulp?

In essence, there was no difference between Karl Mapp and Mr. Hurley's partners and relatives who coveted the club.

Even after Mr. Hurley's death, his chances of success were lower than those of others, given his relationship with Mrs. Hurley through the American Entertainment Investment Company.

What Karl Map did not expect was that Hideki Hanyu performed beyond his imagination and successfully hooked up with Mrs. Hurley in a short time in the UK.

Even looking at Mrs. Hurley's attitude towards Hanyu Hideki, she seems to be completely submissive to Hanyu Hideki.

This surprise made Karl Map feel that the Hurley Private Club seemed to be beckoning to him.

However, Karl Map is a patient man and will not rush Hideki Hanyu to do anything.

He also trusted Hideki Hanyu's judgment, and believed that Hanyu Hideki would not let the Hurley Private Club slip away after knowing his thoughts.

"Here we are."

As the car slowly came to a stop, Olivia Hurley whispered to Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki got out of the car, looked at the surrounding environment under the afternoon sky, and said with some surprise in his tone.

“This place is different than I imagined.”

Olivia Hurley asked, "What do you imagine this place to be like?"

"I thought I would see a lot of luxurious buildings, but who would have thought that this place would be more like..."

Hanyu Hideki looked around. There were old houses, not-so-dense trees, a stable surrounded by grilles, and even a small piece of farmland.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki finally blurted out, "This is more like a farm."

Olivia Hurley smiled and replied, “It’s not like that, this is originally a farm.

Many years after my ex-husband bought this place, he often invited some friends from Washington to gather. Gradually, more and more people came, so he founded the Hurley Private Club.

The farm's current appearance is just a representation that he preserved for commemoration."

“I see.” Hanyu Hideki nodded.

"Let's go eat first. I've asked the chef to prepare the best steak."

Olivia Hurley extends the invitation.

"I do feel a little hungry now that Mrs. Haley has said that."

Hideki Hanyu and Karl Map followed the woman and walked deeper into the farm.

Then Hideki Hanyu discovered that although it looked like a farm from the outside, the more he walked, the more houses there were around.

Although the house looks ordinary, it is actually very special.

The phrase "low-key and luxurious" is the most appropriate description.

Led by Olivia Hurley, Hideki Hanyu walked into a big house and found that this was the club's restaurant.

In addition to them, there were several tables of members dining in the restaurant.

Hanyu Hideki did not know these people, but there were some people Karl Mapp knew, so he introduced them to each other and chatted briefly.

A private club may sound mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it is a place that provides high-end services.

Some internal activities and gatherings are organized, and there are more private areas, but there are also normal business services, such as the restaurant in front of us.

After the conversation, the three of them sat down again, and after the waiter brought the food, they quickly started eating.

The steak was indeed delicious and Hideki Hanyu ate it with relish, praising it repeatedly.

Even one portion was not enough, so I ordered an extra portion of grilled beef short ribs.

Just as Hanyu Hideki had finished enjoying the food and was contentedly preparing to chat about something else, a female guest walked into the restaurant.

When Hideki Hanyu and Karl Map saw this person, they both showed surprised expressions.

Next to her, Olivia Hurley stood up and greeted the female guest, so she did not notice the changes in their expressions.

Moreover, after Olivia Hurley came back from saying hello, she deliberately introduced the two people in a low voice.

"The one who just came is the wife of the governor of Arkansas. Her husband has been rising rapidly within the Donkey Party in recent years and has just been elected as the chairman of the Supreme Committee. It is said that he is likely to run for the next party candidate.

Both the husband and wife joined the club a year ago. The husband came to the club in April, but the woman with him was not her.

But in my opinion, the governor's wife is also very capable, and her future development in the Donkey Party will not be worse than her husband. She represented her husband in this Donkey Party event."

After Olivia Hurley finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki spoke up, "Actually, I know her. My company has been investing in Arkansas for many years. When I went to inspect, I was received by the governor and his wife."

"Then why did she..."

Olivia Hurley wanted to ask why the governor's wife didn't say hello to Hideki Hanyu when she came in, or even make eye contact.

But thinking of Hideki Hanyu's special identity, Olivia Hurley decisively swallowed the rest of her words.

There is no relationship between the two parties, so there is naturally no need to say hello.

If the two parties were secretly colluding with each other, it would be even more impossible for them to say hello.

Hideki Hanyu ignored Olivia Hurley's gaffe and had no intention of interacting with the governor's wife in the restaurant.

After looking away, he asked Karl Map next to him, "When can the friend you made an appointment with come?"

The "friends" that Hideki Hanyu refers to are naturally those people who cooperate with him in the Middle East.

Karl Mapp glanced at his watch and said, "There are still twenty minutes left until the appointed time."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki turned around and gave instructions to Olivia Hurley.

"Help me prepare a place where we can talk."

……

In a detached house at the Hurley Private Club, Hideki Hanyu was sitting on the sofa in the living room tasting wine.

The interior of the house he was in looked no different from a single-family house of a middle-class American family, except that the interior decoration was more luxurious. Not long ago, Hanyu Hideki met the "friend" introduced by Karl Map for the first time here.

After some overt and covert, cautious probing, both sides had a very good first impression of each other. After agreeing on a time to further discuss cooperation in the Middle East, the group left first.

Karl Map left with his "friends", but Hideki Hanyu stayed alone for other reasons.

I don't know how long I waited. Just when the sky outside the window was completely shrouded in darkness, Hanyu Hideki heard someone knocking on the door.

He walked forward to open the door, then stepped aside to let the person outside in.

When Hanyu Hideki closed the door, the person who came in had already arrived in the living room. It was not someone else, but the governor's wife whom he saw in the restaurant.

Hideki Hanyu followed and poured a glass of wine for the other person while speaking.

"I didn't expect to see the Governor's wife here again."

The governor's wife took the wine glass, glanced at the remnants on the table in the living room and said.

"Mr. Seraphim appears to have just finished receiving guests."

"Business partners."

Hanyu Hideki explained casually before asking, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the governor's wife."

"Haha, it's just concern between friends."

The governor's wife took a sip of the wine in her hand and commented, "Very good sweetness. I didn't expect you to like this type of wine."

"I don't like suffering."

Hideki Hanyu sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked at the governor's wife.

Just after he met the friend introduced by Karl Mapp, Olivia Hurley came to tell him that the governor's wife wanted to see him.

That's why he didn't leave with Karl Map and chose to stay here and wait.

As for why the governor's wife came to him, since she didn't tell him, Hanyu Hideki naturally wouldn't be anxious, since it wasn't his initiative anyway.

The governor's wife seemed to have noticed Hanyu Hideki's attitude. She sat next to Hanyu Hideki with a glass of wine and asked.

"Aren't you curious why I came to see you?"

Hanyu Hideki asked back, "Isn't that what you should tell me, ma'am?"

Upon hearing this, the governor's wife glanced around the room and said with emotion.

"At this moment, it feels a lot like our last meeting in Little Rock."

Hanyu Hideki said playfully, "Your husband should be more familiar with this place, after all, he brought..."

"Don't mention him!"

The governor's wife suddenly interrupted Hanyu Hideki with some emotion.

After a while, until she calmed down, the governor's wife spoke again.

"I thought we trusted each other and should be friends."

Hanyu Hideki thought of the meeting in Arkansas more than a month ago and the videotape he had secretly kept, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“If we weren’t friends, we wouldn’t be meeting here at all.

So, Madam, please be honest about what you want to do. "

The governor's wife raised her lips and asked meaningfully, "What do you want me to be honest about?"

"whatever?"

Hanyu Hideki said with an indifferent expression.

Upon hearing this, the governor's wife put down the wine glass in her hand, tucked her golden hair behind her ears, and then spoke slowly.

"I need your help."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "What aspect?"

"Everything..."

……

At midnight.

Olivia Hurley enters the room where Hideki Hanyu is.

The mature and beautiful woman looked at the scene in the room, then looked at Hanyu Hideki who was putting something away and handing it to the bodyguard to take away, and asked, "She just left."

Hanyu Hideki said, “Didn’t you see it?”

Olivia Hurley reminded, "I hope you understand what you are doing?"

Hanyu Hideki replied in a cold tone, "I don't need anyone to remind me to do things."

Sensing the displeasure in Hideki Hanyu's words, Olivia Hurley immediately stepped forward and explained in a humble tone after Hanyu's bodyguard left.

"I'm just concerned about you. This governor's wife is not a simple person."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Am I just simple?"

"I did not mean that."

Olivia Hurley explained in a panic, she didn't look like a mature woman at all, she just looked like a little girl in love.

"If you say something wrong, you will be punished."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he picked up the woman with both hands and walked upstairs.

The mature and beautiful woman in Hanyu Hideki's arms felt the strength in Hanyu Hideki's arms and his strong physique. She completely collapsed before she reached the second floor.

Olivia Hurley obviously has no resistance to Hideki Hanyu.

After a long time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped.

Hideki Hanyu looked at Olivia Hurley, who was lying in his arms with a satisfied and lazy look on her face.

"I heard from Karl Mapp that someone else is eyeing the private club?"

Olivia Hurley nodded, "The ex-husband's partner, and his ex-wife's children."

Hanyu Hideki didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you need my help?"

Olivia Hurley said, "How are you going to help me?"

"Hexi Information Consulting Company needs the background of Heli Private Club, and you need strong support. How about our cooperation?"

"You want the Hurley Private Club too?"

When Olivia Hurley asked this question, there was an obvious strange look in her eyes.

There is loneliness, sadness, and a hint of disappointment...

Obviously, Olivia Hurley classified Hideki Hanyu as one of those who secretly coveted Hurley's private club.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu could see Olivia Hurley's emotions.

He first sneered, "Haha," and then showed a disdainful expression.

“Who do you think I am? Just like those gutter rats, using despicable means to seize your club?
If we say it is cooperation, then it is cooperation that is voluntary on both sides.

Since you don’t believe it, forget it.”

As soon as Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the mature and beautiful woman hugged the scumbag tightly and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I was just influenced by those people and became a little sensitive about things related to the club."

Hideki Hanyu asked, lifting the mature beauty's chin.

"what about now?"

Olivia Hurley responded, "You're different, and I shouldn't not believe you."

Hanyu Hideki gave a direct order, "Go see Karl Map tomorrow. He will help you solve your current troubles."

Olivia Hurley replied obediently, "Okay."
