Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1019 You are a good person

When Hideki Hanyu arrived at No. 89 Repulse Bay, he realized as soon as he entered that Zhang Min already knew he was coming.

In his eyes, everything—from the fruit platter on the table and his favorite juice to the sexy red dress on the woman—was a clear expression of "welcome."

Then look at Zhang Min, whose face is full of anticipation and joy after seeing him.

Even a playboy of Hideki Hanyu's caliber felt a rare pang of guilt.

After all, these past few days, besides work, he'd been thinking about other women and had completely forgotten about Zhang Min.

She was clearly a screen goddess of her generation, a beauty whom Hideki Yuzuru greatly admired in his previous life, but after he got her in this timeline, he somehow lost interest in her.

"Honey, why don't you sit down now that you're here?"

Unaware of Hideki Yuzuru's inner emotional changes, Zhang Min came up, took Hideki Yuzuru's arm, and led him to sit on the sofa in the living room.

“My cousin told me that you’ve been very busy since you came to Hong Kong. You must be very tired. Have something to drink first.”

As Zhang Min bent down to bring him the juice, Hideki Yuzuru realized that there was no maid in the house.

But this is good, as it makes it easier for him to communicate with Zhang Min.

On the way there, Hideki Yuzuru had already thought about what to say when they met and how to deal with Zhang Min's possible reactions.

After all, he knew very well that after visiting the set of "God of Gamblers II," he absolutely did not believe that Zhang Min had not heard rumors about him and Lee Young-ae.

But the woman pretended not to know anything and kept saying how hard he had worked, which made the scumbag feel a little more guilty.

With this in mind, he took the juice Zhang Min handed him, put it aside, and then looked at Zhang Min with a serious expression, speaking earnestly.

“Ah Min, I was unable to accompany you during my trip to Hong Kong, which was indeed my fault. There are some things you must already know, and I don’t want to hide them from you.”

When you met me, you should already know my personality. I'm someone who likes to be free and unrestrained, and I don't want to be bound by things that are unchanging.

I like you, and I selfishly possess you, but I can't give you my whole heart.

That's not fair to you, so if you feel...

Before Hideki Yuzuru could finish speaking, he felt his lips being sealed by something warm.

It turned out that Zhang Min had kissed him, stopping him from continuing.

A moment later, Zhang Min separated them with tears in her eyes, and said to the scumbag in a wronged voice.

"I won't allow you to say such things. I don't blame you, and you're not allowed to give up on me."

And the fact that you said that proves you care about me, so even if I can't occupy your whole heart, just a little bit will satisfy me.

As he said this, Zhang Min slowly stood up and reached out to adjust the shoulder strap of his red dress.

The next moment, the red dress slipped off her body.

In an instant, the beautiful scenery, completely unobstructed, was all reflected in Hideki Hanyu's eyes.

The woman's voice became shy, with a hint of anticipation.

"If possible, I want a child, so that even if you're not by my side, I'll have our child to keep me company."

At this moment, the scumbag was trying his best to suppress the urge to curl his lips into a smile.

He had prepared several sets of lines, but before he could even finish the first one, he had already won the woman over.

So how should we deal with the current situation?

Needless to say, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to helping the beauty fulfill her wish.

He pulled the beauty into his arms with one hand and picked up a piece of fruit with the other, putting it into her mouth.

Then he lowered his voice and whispered in the beauty's ear.

"How about feeding me a piece of fruit first?"

The next moment, the piece of fruit was in Hideki Hanyu's mouth.

Immediately afterward, the scumbag heard Zhang Min say, "Honey, I brought back a few costumes from the company. They're in the bedroom upstairs. Do you want to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, the scumbag's eyes lit up. He scooped the beauty up in his arms and strode upstairs.

"It seems I need to help you with your acting and check if your skills have improved recently."

"Honey, who do you want to play?"

"That's obviously the villain who bullied you!"
-
The dividing line of imagination--
The sun was high in the sky, as people began to enjoy their lunch.

Hideki Hanyu had just finished acting out a scene at his mansion in Repulse Bay with Zhang Min, where a female prosecutor was seen venturing into the lion's den to fight the villainous big boss.

It must be said that Zhang Min, dressed in a uniform pencil skirt, high heels, and half-rimmed glasses, is indeed a formidable fighter.

Although he was still no match for Hideki Hanyu, he still managed to throw the scumbag into a bit of a panic.

Unfortunately, Hideki Yuzuru's extraordinary physique was ultimately beyond Zhang Min's ability to handle.

After more than three hours of rehearsals for four consecutive scenes, Hideki Hanyu, who played a supporting role, was still full of energy, but Zhang Min had completely run out of strength.

In this situation, even though Hideki Hanyu was really into acting, he had to stop rehearsing.

Touching his slightly hungry stomach, Hideki Yuzuru asked Zhang Min, "Where are the maids? Tell them to prepare some food."

Zhang Min, who was working hard to help salmon migrate and spawn, replied, "Knowing you were coming, I specially gave them the day off today."

Upon hearing this, Hideki Yuzuru, who was no longer used to cooking for himself, could only get up and get dressed, saying, "Then let's go out to get something to eat. Do you know any good restaurants nearby?"

Zhang Min remained motionless in his pose while answering Yu Sheng Hideki.

"Last time I had dinner with my aunt, I discovered a really delicious Spanish restaurant."

But honey, you have to wait a little longer. The doctor said I need to stay like this for at least ten minutes.

Hideki Hanyu was speechless and could only say, "You continue, I'm going to take a shower first."

He finally understood that Zhou Huimin's rise to prominence through her son was a huge shock to women in Hong Kong.

If I remember correctly, in another timeline, Zhang Min and Zhou Huimin were best friends for over thirty years.

In this timeline, it's already a miracle that the two aren't openly at odds because of Hideki Hanyu; becoming best friends is naturally out of the question.

An hour later, the white Land Rover drove out of No. 89. Following Zhang Min's directions, it soon arrived at its destination, outside a Spanish restaurant near the Happy Valley Racecourse.

After getting out of the car, Hideki Hanyu found that there was no parking nearby, so he handed the car keys to the bodyguard who got out of the car from the back, and also handed him a Jockey Club membership card.

"Park the car at the horse racing club."

Last time at the private club in Deep Water Bay, Hideki Yuzuru refused the invitation to join from a second-generation member of the Jockey Club, but ended up joining in a daze because of Li Ka-shing's recommendation.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club membership is coveted by everyone, but Hideki Hanyu, who has no interest in horse racing, completely forgot about it after obtaining it.

The first time I took it out today was just for parking convenience.

Upon entering the restaurant, Hideki Hanyu found the environment quite nice, with distinctive decor, and even private rooms, a rarity in Western restaurants.

Although the partition is made of wood, it doesn't block out the sound of conversation, but it at least protects the privacy of guests to some extent.

No wonder Zhang Min, who is already famous, would bring his relatives here for a meal.

After the two sat down, Hideki Yuzuru had just finished ordering when Zhang Min asked curiously, "Honey, I didn't know you were a member of the Jockey Club."

"It's been around for a long time."

Hideki Hanyu didn't seem to care.

Hideki Hanyu doesn't like horse racing, so he doesn't think horses are anything special.

Even if the Hong Kong Jockey Club has other characteristics, such as being one of the world's top ten charitable organizations.

But for someone who already owns several charitable foundations, partners with the British prince on environmental protection, serves as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, and holds numerous other charitable titles, these are really dispensable.

Zhang Min asked in confusion, "But you don't seem to have ever been to the horse farm."

Hideki Hanyu replied, "I don't like horse racing, so naturally I won't go to the racetrack."

Pfft!

No sooner had Hideki Hanyu finished speaking than laughter came from next door.

Hideki Hanyu initially didn't pay much attention to the laughter.

But when Zhang Min asked again, "If you don't like horse racing, why did you join the horse racing club?"

He replied, "I was recommended to join the Hong Kong Jockey Club by Li Ka-shing and Zheng, the shipping magnate, and a few others. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed."

The moment the words left his mouth, laughter erupted from next door.

Slightly mocking, slightly sarcastic.

Hideki Yuzuru vaguely felt that the laughter seemed to have originated from his words.

However, before he could make a decision, he said to Zhang Min, "The richest man in China also transferred two horses to me. If you are interested in horse racing, I will give you one to play with. I will have someone else take care of the membership for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, although there was no more laughter from next door, a few intermittent words came through, spoken by a young girl.

Although I didn't hear it all clearly, I did catch a few snippets of Cantonese phrases he used to brag.

Now Mr. Yuzuru finally understood that the people next door were coming for him.

Clearly, when he spoke with Zhang Min, the neighbors overheard him and assumed he was just boasting and talking nonsense.

Although if it were him, he might go to a restaurant and overhear the people sitting next to him saying that he was introduced to the horse racing club by the richest man in China, and that he was reluctantly accepted and even had to give away racehorses to others.

They'd probably think this person was bragging.

But that doesn't mean he's willing to listen to others ridicule him and directly accuse him of bragging.

Although he dislikes bullying others, his behavior in Japan, such as allowing Daigoku and Shi to act like mad dogs, is enough to prove that he is no longer the kind of good person in the common sense.

So once he realized that the sneers and mockery from his neighbor were directed at him, he didn't have the habit of eating while feeling annoyed.

He immediately opened the door and spoke to Marco, who was sitting at the table outside.

"Marco, throw the guy next door out."

Upon hearing this, Marco looked in the direction Hideki Hanyu was pointing, completely ignoring what had happened; he simply followed Hideki Hanyu's instructions.

He immediately called two of his men and headed towards the private room next door.

After finishing his sentence, Hideki Yuzuru stopped paying attention to what happened next and returned to the private room to continue chatting with Zhang Min.

Even though there was some commotion next door after Marco went in, he didn't care at all.

Knowing what had happened, Zhang Min chuckled to himself, "It seems the restaurant I recommended was a bit too low-class, otherwise this kind of person wouldn't have appeared."

Hideki Hanyu laughed and said, "Perhaps to ordinary people, what I said does seem a bit outrageous."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Min nodded in agreement, "If it were me, I would also think you were just drunk and talking nonsense." But just when Yuzuru Hideki thought everything was settled and was about to enjoy the meal with Zhang Min, Marco called open the door to the private room.

After Marco received Hideki Hanyu's permission, he walked in from outside, but he was not alone.

A man followed behind, dressed in a suit, his hair slicked back with hair wax, and a strong scent of cologne wafted out even before he got close.

It was Luo Zhaohui, whom I had just met that morning.

As soon as Luo Zhaohui walked in, he greeted him with an awkward smile, "Boss, I ran into Mr. Marco downstairs and knew you were eating here, so I came up here to say hello."

Hideki Hanyu looked at the guy and asked, "Are you here to eat too?"

"I'm here to pick someone up."

Luo Zhaohui's expression was somewhat strange as he spoke.

After saying that, he immediately waved to the door and urged, "Hurry up and come in."

After Luo Zhaohui finished speaking, Yu Shengxiu saw a young girl with long curly hair and wearing a yellow floral dress walk in.

"Apologize to the big boss right away."

Luo Zhaohui's tone was slightly urgent.

After seeing the girl clearly, Hideki Yuzuru realized that she was none other than Yuen Wing-yee, the Miss Hong Kong winner whom Luo Chao-hui was pursuing.

As the girl said, "Mr. Yuzuru, I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Hideki Hanyu still didn't understand what had happened.

He immediately asked, amused, "So you were the one laughing at me next door just now?"

When he saw it was this person, Hideki Hanyu wasn't surprised at all.

After all, in his previous life, he had seen plenty of news about this person being blacklisted in Hong Kong because of his bad temper, low emotional intelligence, arrogance, willfulness, and disrespectful speech.

Yuan Yongyi did not admit it, but bowed again and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I was impolite."

Hideki Hanyu asked with a smile, "So now you know that what I said just now wasn't just bragging?"

Yuan Yongyi didn't know how to respond.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zhaohui immediately came over with a grin to flatter him.

"It's just a Jockey Club membership. If a big shot wants it, all the rich people in Hong Kong will line up to recommend him to join. There's no need to brag."

Upon hearing this, Hideki Yuzuru knew that Luo Zhaohui had already learned the whole story before coming to see him.

After Luo Zhaohui finished speaking, he carefully observed Hideki Yuzuru and, finding that Yuzuru was not too angry, immediately pleaded for Yuan Yongyi.

“Sir, ignorance is no excuse. Miss Yuan had no idea that you were the one speaking. If she had known, she certainly wouldn’t have dared to speak so carelessly. Please forgive her this time.”

Hideki Yuzuru glanced at Luo Zhaohui, then at Yuan Yongyi, who was bowing his head and remaining silent.

"Don't make me sound like a bad guy. I threw her out just because I didn't want her to ruin my meal. I didn't intend to do anything else."

"On the contrary, you took it upon yourself to bring her up to apologize, disturbing my meal."

Hideki Hanyu was telling the truth. After all, when he had Marco throw the person out, he had no idea who was next door, so how could he possibly seek revenge?

Although Luo Zhaohui believed him, he couldn't guarantee that Yuan Yongyi wouldn't face retaliation.

Because when he arrived to pick up Yuan Yongyi, he saw not only Yuan Yongyi and her friends being thrown out of the restaurant by Marco's bodyguards.

After trying to stop him, they saw Hideki Yuzuru's assistant, who recognized Yuan Yongyi and noted her name down.

Therefore, he was not afraid of Hideki Hanyu's retaliation, but he was afraid that Hideki Hanyu's subordinates would take it upon themselves to help Hideki Hanyu vent his anger.

As a protégé of Hideki Hanyu, Luo Zhaohui was well aware of Hanyu's influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Putting aside other things, even in TVB, where Yuan Yongyi is currently signed, Hideki Yuzuru is a major shareholder and a close friend of Mr. Shaw, who is in charge.

His second-rate modeling agency has been doing quite well these past few years, thanks to Hideki Hanyu's connections.

Even if Hideki Yuzuru did nothing, if his assistant just leaked some information, Yuan Yongyi would not be able to make a living in Hong Kong.

Therefore, he must obtain Hideki Hanyu's personal forgiveness; otherwise, he will never be able to feel at ease.

Therefore, Luo Zhaohui spoke again, "Boss, please forgive Miss Yuan this time for my sake."

"Your face?"

Hideki Yuzuru looked at Luo Zhaohui with amusement.

The look in his eyes made Luo Zhaohui fear that Hideki Yuzuru might blurt out something like, "What face do you have?"

However, after a cautious wait, Hideki Hanyu finally spoke.

“Since it was you, Ah Hui, who personally pleaded for her, then I will forgive her this once, out of respect for you.”

After saying that, Hideki Yuzuru waved his hand and said, "Let her go out. Don't ruin my meal."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, sir."

Although Yuan Yongyi's emotional intelligence isn't great, at least she's not completely stupid.

After thanking Hideki Hanyu, he quickly left the private room.

Seeing this, Luo Zhaohui reverted to his smug demeanor and said, "Boss, you can continue having dinner with Miss Zhang. I won't bother you any longer."

"Wait a minute."

Hideki Yuzuru called out to Luo Zhaohui, placed his hand on the guy's shoulder, and whispered.

"Ahui, this is all I can do to help you. Whether you succeed from here on out depends on yourself."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhaohui immediately understood Hideki Yuzuru's intention, realizing that Yuzuru's previous attitude was intended to help him.

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss. If I still can't handle this, then I'm not worthy to be your subordinate."

"Go on, stop wasting your breath here, and remember to use less cologne in the future."

Yuzuru Hideki pretended to kick Luo Zhaohui, who then took advantage of the situation and slyly left the private room.

After Luo Zhaohui left, Zhang Min, who had watched the whole thing, said, "Darling, Mr. Luo is already a big boss, yet he still respects you so much."

"Respect me? Heh..."

Hideki Yuzuru chuckled lightly, "Don't be fooled by his appearance. This guy is very ambitious and has done a lot of things behind my back. I've been having your cousin keep an eye on him for me lately."

Just as Zhang Min looked surprised upon hearing Hideki Yuzuru's words, Luo Zhaohui, who had left the private room, caught up with Yuan Yongyi downstairs.

Seeing the serious expression on Yuan Yongyi's pretty face, Luo Zhaohui immediately tried to comfort her.

"Miss Yuan, it's alright. Since the big boss said he wouldn't pursue the matter because of me, there's definitely nothing to worry about in the future."

Clearly, while offering words of comfort, Luo Zhaohui did not forget to subtly mention his own contributions.

However, the next moment, he heard Yuan Yongyi say something.

“Mr. Luo, you are a good person. I am very grateful for everything you have done for me, including what happened today.”

But in my heart, you feel like an older brother, and I can't convince myself to like you.

Thank you for liking me, but I'm very sorry, I cannot accept your affection.

Having just received a helping hand from a powerful figure and brimming with confidence in picking up girls, Luo Zhaohui never expected that he would be friend-zoned by Yuan Yongyi the moment he started.

This prompted Luo Zhaohui to ask, "Why?"

Yuan Yongyi replied, "For no reason, I just don't like it."

In fact, Yuan Yongyi had another real answer: she couldn't, and didn't want to, tell Luo Zhaohui.

If it weren't for what happened today, she might have actually accepted Luo Zhaohui's pursuit because of his sincerity.

But because of what happened today, she got to see Hideki Hanyu up close.

Seeing a big boss like Luo Zhaohui bowing and scraping before Hideki Yuzuru showed me what a true big shot really is.

However, Hideki Hanyu, a big shot in the industry, is so outstanding in both temperament and appearance that Yuan Yongyi's standards were immediately raised.

This suddenly gave her a new idea: only a man like this was worthy of her, the Miss Hong Kong winner.

After rejecting Luo Zhaohui, Yuan Yongyi immediately called her agent upon returning home.

The first thing Yuan Yongyi asked her agent after the call connected was, "Do you know Mr. Hideki Hanyu?"

The agent replied, "Of course I know such a big shot."

Yuan Yongyi then said, "I just offended him."

Upon hearing this, the agent on the other end of the phone was so frightened that he stammered, "You... how did you offend him? Quickly... come with me to see Miss Fang and ask her to find a way to plead for you."

Yuan Yongyi said calmly, "Don't be nervous, he has already forgiven me."

The agent breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Tell me what happened quickly."

"That's it..."

After Yuan Yongyi recounted the events in detail, she directly stated the purpose of her call without waiting for her agent's reply.

"I want to get close to him, can you help me find an opportunity?"

"I'm just an ordinary agent, what skills do I have..."

The agent suddenly stopped speaking, seemingly realizing what Yuan Yongyi was planning to do.

He lamented that his artist wanted to improve but was overestimating his abilities, while also fantasizing about how much Yuan Yongyi's success would help her career and how he could benefit from it.

After all, there are quite a few women in Hong Kong who have been rumored to have affairs with Hideki Hanyu, and these women have all benefited to some extent.

Moreover, in addition to the benefits, these women all gained an invisible protective umbrella.

As long as Hideki Hanyu doesn't deny it, and the women he's been rumored to be dating don't actually reveal their relationships, no one will risk offending these women.

Even when invited to act in a film by a triad, they would be very polite.

Thinking of these benefits, the agent immediately racked his brains to come up with a solution.

Suddenly, he remembered a rumor he had recently heard.

He immediately spoke to Yuan Yongyi on the other end of the phone.

"I do have a way to help you get close to this big shot."

　I'm sorry for getting back so late and updating so late, but since it's not time-sensitive, I can thank you more. Time for bed, I'll be dozing off at work tomorrow.
