Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1005 Hideki Hanyu's Invitation

According to Hideki Hanyu's original plan, sending Lee Young-ae to Hong Kong, where she was unfamiliar with the place, to film a movie was intended to allow him to win her heart by playing the "hero saves the beauty" after she got into trouble.

To Hideki Yuzuru's surprise, Lee Young-ae's situation on the set of "God of Gamblers" was much better than he had imagined. Not only was she a hero who rescued the damsel in distress, but even serving tea and water was something that people were eager to do.

Anyway, he saw that after Lee Young-ae finished her action scene with Andy Lau, someone immediately offered her bottled water and kept asking if she had worked hard.

Sure enough, this beautiful woman is popular wherever she goes.

Of course, besides her beauty, it's also related to Lee Young-ae's signing with Hengxing Entertainment.

After all, the idea that Lee Young-ae was in trouble in Hong Kong was something he was taking for granted.

Florence Chan's Stellar Entertainment boasts a roster of signed artists, including Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Emil Chau, and many other top-tier stars.

With the backing of Cloud Entertainment, this lineup and background firmly place them among the top three brokerage companies in Hong Kong.

Lee Young-ae signed with Hengxing Entertainment and filmed movies in Hong Kong, specifically with a production company like Yong Sheng that has a good working relationship with the Yunshang Group. It would be difficult for her to be bullied if she wanted to.

Of course, although the planned hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress rescue failed, Lee Young-ae still showed a different kind of enthusiasm than the others when she saw Hideki Hanyu appear.

After all, when it comes to heroes rescuing beauties, back in South Korea, Hideki Hanyu also "fought for his beloved" when facing Takeo Shigemitsu and his son.

Although it was a scheme of his, on the surface, it did seem like he was helping Lee Young-ae.

At this moment, Lee Young-ae saw Hideki Hanyu and already felt a good impression of him. In addition, she met an old friend in a foreign land. After getting closer, the girl didn't care what the people around her thought. She grabbed Hideki Hanyu's arm and asked him affectionately in Korean.

"When did you come to Hong Kong, sir?"

“I haven’t been in Hong Kong for long. Today Mrs. Chan told me you were filming, so I came to see you specifically.”

Hideki Hanyu spoke with a warm and caring demeanor, and at the end, he even asked with concern, "How is it? Is filming in Hong Kong tough? Are you adapting well to life here?"

Upon hearing that Hideki Yuzuru had come specifically to see her and was so concerned about her, Lee Young-ae immediately smiled sweetly.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am doing very well in Hong Kong because Manager Chen has prepared everything, and everyone has taken good care of me during filming."

"In that case, I feel relieved."

As Hideki Yuzuru spoke, he glanced in the direction of the film crew and noticed that everyone was looking at him and Lee Young-ae with curious and inquisitive expressions. He then immediately spoke to Lee Young-ae.

"Go film your movie. The crew is waiting for you. I'll treat you to dinner when you're done, and then we can have a proper chat."

"Okay, I'm going to work now."

Watching him bow slightly in farewell and then jog off to work, swinging his ponytail, Hideki Yuzuru shook his head with amusement.

Looking around, the way people were looking at him and Lee Young-ae was clearly different from before.

It's obvious that everyone thinks Lee Young-ae and he have an ambiguous relationship.

There's nothing we can do about it; his reputation as a playboy is just too great.

Two days ago, when he arrived in Hong Kong, entertainment reporters photographed Zhou Huimin with her child picking him up at Kai Tak Airport.

Suddenly, the identity of Zhou Huimin's child's father fell directly on the playboy Hideki Yuzuru.

In response, the media flocked to the headquarters of Cloud Entertainment (Asia) in an attempt to verify the authenticity of the story.

After all, although Zhou Huimin stopped her activities after giving birth, her management contract was still with Yunshang Group.

Hideki Hanyu is also the founder and big boss of Cloud Entertainment.

However, when faced with a swarm of media reporters, Yunshang Entertainment stated that they knew nothing about it, including whether Zhou Huimin had given birth or who the child's father was.

Cloud Entertainment says nothing.

Hideki Hanyu, on the other hand, was even less likely to pay attention to these entertainment reporters.

Then Zhou Huimin's mansion on Baijianshi Road became a popular spot for entertainment reporters to stake out.

Unfortunately, Hideki Hanyu has been staying at home these past few days and hasn't come out at all, so the entertainment reporters have been waiting in vain and haven't managed to get any photos or videos.

Even if they did manage to get a picture, it wouldn't matter. Hideki Hanyu wouldn't pay any attention to these entertainment reporters, nor would he care about their reports.

However, a toad crawling on your foot doesn't bite, but it's disgusting.

Hideki Yuzuru has already started urging that the construction of the new house he prepared for Zhou Huimin in Deep Water Bay must be accelerated.

The Deep Water Bay mansion is located in a secluded area, and the roads leading to the house are privately owned, making it impossible for media reporters to stake out the property.

However, the house has a complex design and a large area, making it very troublesome to build. Even if he urges him, he probably won't be able to move in before the end of the year.

Thinking about this, Hideki Yuzuru felt that he should perhaps plan ahead and prepare a few more rabbit hutches in more secluded locations.

35 Barker Road was actually completed, but that place was his own residence. From design and construction to decoration, it was the most luxurious house in Hong Kong, and he would never arrange for any woman to live there.

As for the other luxury homes he bought in the past, they were all the same as Bai Jianshi's house, lacking sufficient privacy.

It seems I'll have to ask Luo Zhaohui and Deng Jiaming again to help him look for houses in Hong Kong.

If all else fails, just buy land on some island. Whether it's building a pier for yachts to travel between islands or constructing a helipad for helicopters, it's better than being harassed by these Hong Kong entertainment reporters all day long.

These entertainment reporters are still just entertainment reporters now, but in a few more years, professional paparazzi will emerge, and the harassment of celebrities will be even more outrageous than it is now.

While Hideki Yuzuru was making these plans in his mind, filming for "God of Gamblers II" had already begun as scheduled.

It's not easy to watch indoor fight scenes from the sidelines, but Hideki Hanyu watched a few from a distance and found that Lee Young-ae's performance was quite good.

At least the action scenes are clean and crisp, the martial arts direction is well-executed, and even the dramatic scenes are commendable.

It must be said that during the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, they were truly skilled at training actresses.

After all, when it comes to the beauties of Hong Kong's golden age of cinema, even those few who were considered mere "pretty faces" had acting skills that were definitely above average.

It seems that in this era, an actress's beauty is tied to her acting skills.

Unlike later generations, where actresses, both big and small, are all graduates of professional film schools, yet their acting skills are increasingly clumsy.

Lee Young-ae's scenes were filmed quickly, since she was only filming a special version of the story. After a few scenes that intersected with the original storyline, there was nothing left for her to do.

After Lee Young-ae finished filming her scenes and went to the makeup truck to remove her makeup and change clothes, Hideki Yuzuru also found Xiang Qiang, who was continuing to film the original storyline.

"Xiang Sheng, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Xiang Qiang said politely, "Mr. Yuzuru, let's have tea together sometime."

“No problem. I’ll be staying in Hong Kong for a few more days this time. I was just about to call Peter Fang out so we can all talk about some things.”

Upon hearing Hideki Yuzuru's words, Xiang Qiang's eyes lit up.

The fact that Xiang Qiang could get Peter Fang, the head of Asian cinemas, to meet and chat meant that the matter was definitely not ordinary, and Xiang Qiang would certainly not miss the opportunity.

"Then I will wait for Mr. Yuzuru's call."

Hideki Hanyu said, "No problem, but there might be some other friends there, so I hope you won't mind."

"I wonder which friends they are?" Xiang Qiang asked curiously.

Hideki Hanyu said, "They are all friends from the Hong Kong film industry. We'll sit down and chat. No outsiders will come, so please rest assured, Mr. Xiang." It's not convenient to reveal what Hideki Hanyu wants to do right now.

Therefore, even when Xiang Qiang was approached, Hideki Yuzuru did not provide a detailed explanation.

Of course, this is definitely a good thing for Xiang Qiang. If the other party is hesitant to come, it will definitely be their loss.

"Of course I'm reassured by Mr. Yuzuru's invitation," Xiang Qiang said politely.

After all, Hideki Yuzuru is a respectable businessman. Inviting him to discuss the timing of the event couldn't possibly be more dangerous than the old banquets held in the underworld. Xiang Qiang was merely curious; he wasn't so afraid as to not dare to go.

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, but Hideki Yuzuru, not wanting to affect the factions within the production team, took his leave.

As soon as he stepped out the gate, he saw Lee Young-ae, who had already changed her clothes, tilting her head and looking into the courtyard, as if waiting to see when he would come out.

The girl wore a long dress, her long hair flowing smoothly down. The moment she saw Hideki Hanyu, her bright and charming eyes immediately curved into crescent moons with joy.

It is this posture that perfectly showcases the girl's pure beauty, charm, and cuteness.

Lee Young-ae's peak beauty even stunned Hideki Yuzuru, a master of romance.

(Lee Young-ae's pose is shown in the picture.)
"What's wrong, sir?"

Lee Young-ae jogged closer to Hideki Hanyu and, seeing him in a daze, asked him curiously.

"Because Miss Li is so beautiful."

Hideki Hanyu's words immediately made Lee Young-ae blush slightly.

"I feel embarrassed by such praise, sir."

Hideki Hanyu looked at the girl and said in a serious tone, "I'm just telling the truth, not praising her."

Upon hearing this, Lee Young-ae blushed even more.

Just then, Marco drove up, and Hideki Hanyu stopped teasing the girl and opened the car door to invite her in.

As for Chen Shufen, who came with Hideki Yuzuru, she certainly wouldn't be so oblivious as to ruin the big boss's plans, and had already left on her own.

It was still early, not yet dinner time, so Hideki Yuzuru asked Lee Young-ae, "Miss Lee, where would you like to go next?"

"Where do I want to go, sir? Would you be willing to accompany me?" Lee Young-ae looked at Hideki Hanyu with a hopeful expression.

Hideki Hanyu joked, "Of course, for the rest of the day, I belong to Miss Li."

Upon hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Lee Young-ae's mind immediately began to wander.

My first thought was, does Hideki Hanyu agreeing to accompany her count as a date, or as him pursuing her?
Then, she had a greedy fantasy: how wonderful it would be if Hideki Hanyu belonged to her not just for a day, but for much longer.

While she was lost in thought, Lee Young-ae pretended to ponder for a while before answering, "I want to go shopping, will you come with me, sir?"

“If Miss Li has given the order, of course I will comply,” Hideki Yuzuru said, feigning seriousness.

And so, with Hideki Yuzuru's agreement, the car left the Mid-Levels and headed straight for Central at the foot of the mountain.

The filming location is situated between Central and Victoria Peak, so once you descend the mountain, you'll find yourself in the most bustling area of ​​Hong Kong Island.

Next, Hideki Hanyu accompanied Lee Young-ae as they strolled around Central.

Queen's Road, Queensway, Financial Street...

As long as it's a busy area, the two of them basically never miss each other.

Of course, when you go shopping with a girl, you'll inevitably have to do all sorts of shopping.

This is something that scumbags are already very familiar with.

Enter the store, buy the goods, and swipe your card.

At first, Lee Young-ae reservedly refused, but the girl from an ordinary South Korean family was quickly broken down by Hideki Hanyu's money offensive.

In a short period of time, Lee Young-ae has spent more money in various luxury stores than she has ever spent in her entire life.

Faced with a dazzling array of luxury goods, few girls from ordinary backgrounds can remain unmoved and true to themselves.

Especially those who spend money, and men like Hideki Yuzuru.

With a barrage of sweet words, gentle care, and understanding, coupled with a handsome face that can bewitch any woman, it's hard for any woman not to fall for him.

As the shopping trip came to an end and the sun began to set, Hideki Hanyu took Lee Young-ae to a high-end restaurant with a view of Victoria Harbour at night.

After a romantic candlelight dinner, Hideki Hanyu, under the pretense of admiring the night view, took the girl to 35 Barker Road, a newly built mansion whose overall design far exceeded the word "luxury".

As the two stood on the rooftop terrace of the mansion, against the backdrop of the stunning night view of Hong Kong, Lee Young-ae's gaze towards Hideki Hanyu was filled with such intense, almost romantic, admiration.

"Is Miss Li satisfied today?"

Even if a woman has fallen for him, the scumbag will still keep his distance and use a push-and-pull approach to fish for her.

"happy……"

With her eyes filled with the image of a scumbag, Lee Young-ae, after answering, asked shyly, "But I have another request."

"Miss Li, please speak."

As Hideki Yuzuru spoke, he moved slightly closer to Lee Young-ae.

When Lee Young-ae noticed Hideki Hanyu approaching, and felt as if she could even sense his body temperature, she felt a mix of nervousness and shyness.

In this emotional state, the girl's voice trembled slightly as she made her request, "Sir, could you please stop calling me Miss Li?"

"If you don't call me Miss Li, then..."

Hideki Hanyu pretended to think for a moment, then asked, "Ai, may I call you that?"

Upon hearing the term "scumbag," Lee Young-ae's face flushed even redder, and she nodded shyly in response.

"can."

Sensing the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere, Hideki Yuzuru moved closer to Lee Young-ae again and whispered, "Since I agreed to Young-ae's request, Young-ae should also agree to one thing for me."

"What?" Lee Young-ae asked, her voice growing increasingly shy as she looked at the handsome face approaching.

Hideki Hanyu said, "That means Ai shouldn't call me 'sir' anymore."

Lee Young-ae asked, "Then what should I call you?"

Hideki Hanyu didn't answer. Instead, he reached out and lifted the girl's chin, his gaze meeting her beautiful eyes intently.

The next moment, the girl's shy voice rang out.

“Hideki oppa, I…”

However, before the girl could finish her sentence, Hideki Yuzuru lowered his head and kissed her lips, silencing her.

Under the moonlight, the two figures gradually became entangled.
