Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 965 The Style of a Scumbag

August 21st.

The chairman's office is located on the top floor of the Yuzuru Investment headquarters building.

When Hideki Hanyu arrived here, it was already past 2 p.m.

Although he had a fierce battle with the mature and beautiful Sekimoto sisters until the early hours of the morning last night, thanks to his superior physique, he was able to wake up refreshed early this morning after a short rest.

The reason he arrived so late was because the Guan sisters, seeing that he was about to leave, still wouldn't let him go, even though they hadn't rested well, and kept pestering him.

One was as gentle as water, the other as passionate as fire; one was the white moonlight, the other the cinnabar mole. Hideki Yuzuru wasn't a man of unwavering virtue like Liu Xiahui, and he inadvertently wasted some time.

Upon arriving at Yuzuru Investment, Hideki Yuzuru quickly reviewed the documents that had been prepared beforehand. These documents, sent by his subordinates and Marco, contained detailed information about Mitsuhiro Kotani, Director Kishida, the Nakajima father and daughter, and the entire matter.

As he flipped through the documents, Hideki Hanyu gained a thorough understanding of the whole matter, even more so than Kishida, the director, and Nakajima, who had sought his help.

For example, regarding Kotani Mitsuhiro's relationship with the Yakuza, according to Marco's investigation, the Yakuza forces that helped Kotani Mitsuhiro had a more complex connection with him than imagined, and their interests were more closely intertwined.

Kotani Mitsuhiro manipulated the stock market to make money, and how could these yakuza forces miss out? As a result, these people, like Kotani Mitsuhiro, ended up with heavy debts.

In addition, these underworld forces have developed their own industries over the years. Because they lack real power, they can only resort to crooked means, with their biggest source of income being illegal lending.

However, due to the stock market crash, many of their lending businesses suffered losses, either absconding or committing suicide, leaving them unable to recover their loans. Even kidnapping the debtors' families was of no use.

It was the combination of various factors that made these guys disregard all principles and dare to take action against those they had previously cooperated with.

After all, when people are pushed to the limit, they can do anything.

Moreover, in Hideki Yuzuru's view, Mitsuhiro Kotani may very well have already been turned against by these yakuza forces.

What Kotani Mitsuhiro is doing now, besides his own will, may also be due to being driven mad by these yakuza forces that have reached a dead end.

Regardless of any hidden reasons, Kotani Mitsuhiro has only himself to blame.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care about Mitsuhiro Kotani's life or death; what he cared about was what benefits he could gain from this incident.

Which high-ranking figures involved are worthy of his help and thus be brought into his fold?

And who were originally enemies? This is a good opportunity to eliminate them all at once.

Furthermore, if this case involves large corporations, financial institutions, or other entities, it is estimated that many of them will also be implicated and face financial ruin.

While many of them were no longer valuable, there were also many that he could pick up at a bargain.

For example, Hideki Hanyu's bank plan, which is currently being prepared, could allow him to acquire small financial institutions involved in the case at bargain prices.

As for personnel, take Kishida, the managing director, who personally came to him for help, and Nakajima Sana's father, Nakajima Keisuke, for example.

As high-ranking members of the Mitsui Financial System, even if they are not valuable now, as long as they protect the two people and hold their incriminating evidence, there will always be opportunities to exploit them in the future.

Therefore, in Hideki Hanyu's view, it doesn't matter whether these people are innocent or not. Even if these people have committed many evils and are incompetent, it doesn't matter, because it is the Japanese who suffer.

As long as it's useful to him and can bring him benefits, even if it's Kotani Mitsuhiro, he wouldn't mind lending a helping hand.

……

Jingle Bell--

The phone on his desk rang, and Hideki Hanyu picked it up. His assistant, Akimi Yasukawa, answered.

Of his three original assistants, Uemura Reiko no longer effectively served as his personal assistant because she was stationed in the assistant's office.

After all, although the assistant's office is called "assistant", the work they are responsible for is not limited to the scope of an assistant.

In addition to managing his subsidiaries, external communications, public relations, and private business, he also had to take care of all aspects of his life.

From large-scale private real estate investments around the world to taking full responsibility for managing the daily lives and expenses of all lovers and planning major travel itineraries.

From arranging a personal stylist, chef, nutritionist, and doctor for him, to preparing food, water, and clothing in advance according to the schedule, to coordinating security work, and so on, to other trivial matters.

Not counting America's secretary's office, the number of employees in the assistant's office alone in Japan exceeds one hundred.

So, when Uemura Reiko is referred to as an assistant, it's more accurate to say she's the president of a company.

Chie Ishihara was originally in charge of his assistant work in Japan, but as the assistant's office has become larger and busier, she has now started to help Reiko Uemura with office work more.

Kaoru Chiba, who is mainly responsible for overseas work, has already gone to South Korea to make preparations for Hideki Hanyu's upcoming trip there, as instructed by Hanyu.

Therefore, Akimi Yasukawa, who performed well at Cannes, became Hideki Hanyu's new "favorite" and began to be mainly responsible for Hideki Hanyu's personal assistant work.

As soon as the call connected, Yasukawa Akemi immediately reported to Hanyu Hideki, "Mr. Hanyu, Managing Director Kishida, and Ms. Nakajima Sana would like to meet with you and ask when you are available?"

Hideki Yuzuru was thinking about these two when they suddenly wanted to see him.

Now that the investigation is almost complete, Hideki Hanyu has learned the cause and effect of the matter, as well as the inside details, and it is indeed time to meet with these two people.

After a moment's consideration, Hideki Hanyu said, "Let's set the time for this afternoon. I happen to have something to do in Ota Ward, so I'll have them meet me there."

Akemi Yasukawa replied, "Yes, Mr. Yuzuru, I will pass on your message."

Hideki Hanyu hung up the phone, thinking about what to do when he met the two of them that afternoon.

He went to Daejeon-gu to inspect Elf Entertainment's last factory there.

With the completion of the Tochigi Prefectural Industrial Park and other industrial parks in other parts of Japan, Spirit Entertainment will cease all production operations in Tokyo.

In the future, apart from a few key production facilities, Elf Entertainment will only invest in research and development in Tokyo. For example, the former headquarters of Elf Entertainment in Shinagawa Ward is now the location of Elf Entertainment's main research and development center.

Before founding E·T Computer, Tetsuya Aragaki worked there for many years.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu's future Odaiba campus plan will include both the headquarters of Elf Entertainment and its main R&D center.

However, with the Tokyo Governor's "Tokyo Waterfront Sub-Center" project in Odaiba in full swing, land prices in Odaiba have been driven up to exorbitant levels. Hideki Hanyu will have to wait patiently for some time before he can realize his large-scale development plan.

After all, although he is not short of money, he is not a fool either. He cannot afford to run away at the peak and become the Tokyo governor and the companies that invested in Odaiba.

Wait a little longer. Wait until the Japanese real estate market collapses, the "Tokyo Waterfront Sub-Center" project goes bankrupt, the Tokyo governor is embroiled in scandals, and real estate investment in Odaiba cools down. That will be the best opportunity for him to buy at the bottom.

Before he knew it, Hideki Hanyu's thoughts had drifted away again.

However, at that moment, the telephone on the desk rang again.

Hideki Hanyu answered the call, and Akemi Yasukawa immediately reported, "Mr. Hanyu, President Naito of Shingetsu Trading Co., Ltd. is here to visit."

President Naito, of course, refers to Haruko Naito.

Hideki Yuzuru instructed, "I understand. Don't stop her. Let her come in directly."

In the previous advertising war, Haruko Naito helped him a lot, not only persuading her uncle to stand against the majority and get Marubeni Corporation to side with Storm Advertising.

Although Storm Advertising won, it also rewarded Marubeni by providing strategic-level support for Marubeni's advertising and promotion both domestically and internationally.

But it was a timely help in a crisis, and this kindness cannot be erased by repaying it.

In addition, in the process of acquiring Fuji Television, Haruko Naito also controlled the investors to follow Hideki Hanyu's arrangements, which enabled Fuji Television to abandon Dentsu and support Storm Advertising in time, thus turning the tide of the advertising war at a critical moment.

However, now that he has heard that Haruko Naito is visiting, Hideki Hanyu can probably guess her purpose.

Yesterday at the Fuji Television board meeting, he expelled all the board representatives sent by his former partners who had jointly acquired Nippon Broadcasting.

It's obvious that those people went to Haruko Naito to complain.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open from the outside by Akimi Yasukawa, and Haruko Naito, dressed in a LV haute couture dress, walked into the office with an elegant demeanor.

As Hideki Hanyu looked at Haruko Naito approaching, he felt a sudden surge of excitement.

The girl in front of me is petite and lovely, with a youthful face and large breasts. Just by looking at her face and figure, she looks like a high school student.

However, she was dressed in a business-style women's suit, exuding a strong sense of professionalism.

At the same time, she possesses the mature, elegant, and composed aura of a strong woman.

It can be said that Haruko Naito's looks, figure, style, and temperament are all different and contradictory, yet they complement each other inexplicably, giving her an indescribable "allure".

While Hideki Hanyu was drawn to this "temptation," he also felt an irresistible, almost sinful pleasure due to her striking appearance. So when Haruko Naito approached, without waiting for her to speak, Hideki Hanyu picked her up and placed her on his desk.

Then, amidst Haruko Naito's coquettish complaints, he began to act.

"Hanyu-kun, don't hug me from under your arms, it feels like you're holding a little kid!"

"Hehe, that's exactly the feeling I wanted."

……

After a long while, the scumbag, still not satisfied, ended the encounter without any real enjoyment.

After all, judging from Haruko Naito's petite frame, she definitely couldn't withstand Hideki Hanyu's rough treatment.

However, she is, after all, a young lady from a wealthy and powerful family. It's already good enough that she's hanging out with him without any official status. Naturally, Hideki Yuzuru wouldn't bring in other women for a joint project.

So he can only have to put up with it.

Haruko Naito, who was tidying up her clothes, realized that Hideki Hanyu was not satisfied. Her love-struck mind, which was only focused on the scumbag, immediately kicked in, and she immediately decided to have another round, disregarding her own needs.

Fortunately, Hideki Hanyu knew what was important and quickly stopped him, saying, "There will be plenty of time later. Let's talk about why you came to see me first."

Haruko Naito, who was stopped, felt that Hideki Hanyu was gentle and considerate, and responded with both heartache and gratitude.

"I heard those guys don't listen to you, so I came to find you."

Hideki Hanyu naturally knew that the "guys" Haruko Naito was referring to were the partners who had jointly acquired Fuji Television.

He nodded and replied, "They were a bit disobedient, but I've mostly taken care of it."

"Do you need me to help you deal with them?"

When Haruko Naito said this, the small girl exuded a morbid murderous aura.

Clearly, those guys who dared to provoke Hideki Hanyu had crossed her line. Regardless of whether they were partners before, they were now the ones she resented.

Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "I plan to buy back their shares and then apply for delisting from Japan Broadcasting Corporation."

Although Haruko Naito is a yandere with a love-obsessed mind, her business acumen is undeniable, and she immediately understood what Hideki Hanyu meant.

"The problem with the Japanese broadcasting company, which is a 'mother-son' situation, can only be solved by delisting. I will help you communicate with them about the buyback, and I guarantee they will all agree willingly."

Hideki Hanyu knew very well that Haruko Naito wasn't just making empty promises; she truly meant what she said.

After all, the reason why Haruko Naito was able to get these people to join her in targeting Japan Broadcasting was because these people had deep ties with her family.

His family wields considerable influence among these partners, so it's not an exaggeration to say they can help Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu is already very strong, but Japan is not a small country.

With a population exceeding 120 million and an economic strength ranking among the world's top, the number of old elites and new tycoons is countless.

Even Hideki Hanyu cannot guarantee that he can influence everyone.

Every coin has two sides. Since Haruko Naito is willing to help him deal with those guys, he doesn't need to put on a brave face and deliberately make things more difficult for himself.

"Then I'll leave it to Haruko. I can handle them myself, but it will probably take a lot of time and energy, and time is exactly what I need right now."

With your help, I can finally free up my hands to do other things.

Upon hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Haruko Naito remarked with a hint of jealousy, "What are you planning to do with your time, Hanyu-kun? Go to Sendai to take care of that pregnant songstress?"

Hideki Hanyu didn't expect that Haruko Naito would suddenly change the subject to Akina Nakamori.

But how could a scumbag who's seen it all be stumped by this unexpected situation?

He shrugged and answered frankly.

"Once I finish things in Tokyo, I really need to go see her. After all, she got pregnant because of me, and she's been in Sendai for so long without me visiting her. I'm not a heartless person, how could I possibly ignore her?"

As a bona fide scumbag and playboy, Hideki Hanyu never hides things about other women from one woman.

Because he knew very well that the lie was only temporary, and the truth would be exposed sooner or later.

Moreover, when you try to deceive others with lies, you will have to cover it up with countless more lies.

That would be too tiring and completely out of his style.

When it comes to women, Hideki Hanyu's style is to let them stay or leave as they please, without forcing or holding them back. He wants them to have fun, and to part ways gracefully as well.

No matter who it is, he has the same attitude.

After all, he didn't rely on women before he became wealthy.

Now that he has achieved great success, is incredibly wealthy, and wields immense power, he no longer needs to rely on women.

Even if Haruko Naito is unhappy and leaves because of what he said, it doesn't matter. He can still handle those acquisition partners from Japan Broadcasting Corporation. It will just take a little more time.

But the yandere, love-obsessed young lady clearly has no intention of leaving.

Seeing Hideki Yuzuru's muscular physique revealed by his half-open white shirt and his flawless handsome face, the young lady's jealousy vanished instantly.

She could only say softly, "After you've finished with her, could you spend more time with me too?"

Hideki Hanyu readily agreed, "No problem, I'll spend time with you after I finish my work in South Korea at the end of the month and come back."

When Haruko Naito heard Hideki Hanyu agree, she immediately began to look forward to it with joy.

"Yumiko is getting married in Grindelwald, Switzerland on September 7th. Shall we go together? We can spend a few days in Switzerland then."

"September 7th? Switzerland?"

Hideki Hanyu recalled the invitation that old man Murayama had given him. It clearly stated that the wedding would be held in Tokyo on September 3rd, but Haruko Naito said it was in Switzerland.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu's puzzled look, Haruko Naito quickly explained, "You should have received an invitation from Mr. Murayama. The Shinto wedding on September 3rd is a testament to the marriage between the two families, and all the guests invited are important people."

The wedding held in Grindelwald, Switzerland, was a private affair attended by Yumiko and her husband, who invited only friends.

Upon hearing Haruko Naito's explanation, Hideki Hanyu looked enlightened.

He had no opinion on this.

After all, he had only met Yumiko Murayama a few times and they weren't exactly friends, so it was normal for her not to invite him.

Despite being a young man, due to his social status, he usually interacts with the parents or even grandfathers of his peers.

Aside from his lovers, he only had a handful of people who could be considered friends.

Knowing that he had no plans for September, Hideki Yuzuru agreed, "No problem. I've been busy all month, and I need to rest too."

Just as Haruko Naito was about to imagine what she would do in Switzerland after Hideki Hanyu agreed, she was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

Immediately afterward, Marco's voice came from outside the door.

"Boss, it's time to go."

Hideki Hanyu replied, "Understood."

Haruko Naito asked curiously, "What is Hanyu-kun going to do?"

"I'm going to inspect a factory in Daejeon, so I won't be able to accompany you anymore."

As Hideki Yuzuru spoke, he prepared to go to the break room in the office to change his clothes.

However, before leaving, he still made sure to say something to Haruko Naito.

"I'll leave the share buyback for Neon Broadcasting to Haruko."

Haruko Naito clenched her fist and shouted, "Don't worry, Yuzuru-kun, I won't let you down."
