Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1024 An unexpected surprise
"When the guests arrive, have the hotel staff take them directly to my suite."

Inside the Regent Hotel lobby, Hideki Hanyu gave instructions to his assistant as he walked toward the elevator.

Tonight's event was a spur-of-the-moment decision for Hideki Hanyu, so he didn't choose to hold it at home but came directly to the Regent Hotel.

As a major client of the Regent Hotel, he only needs to ask for help with small things like barbecue parties, and the hotel will make all the necessary arrangements, saving him the trouble of contacting a service company at the last minute.

Just as Hideki Hanyu arrived at the elevator, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of high heels clicking on the ground next to him.

Immediately afterwards, a soft and pleasant female voice rang out.

"Mr. Yuzuru, I am your hotel butler, I would like to... ah!"

She had only said half of what she was saying when it turned into a slightly coquettish exclamation.

The next moment, a figure pounced on Hideki Hanyu from the side.

Without needing any bodyguards to stop him, Hideki Yuzuru took a step back to avoid the danger.

Then he saw a woman fall to the ground in front of him.

The woman looked young, in her early twenties, like a recent college graduate.

After falling to the ground, she immediately looked up at Hideki Yuzuru, her pure and pretty face displaying a pitiful expression.

At the same time, the woman's half-falling, half-crawl posture, combined with her uniform work clothes of a blazer, pencil skirt, black stockings, and high heels, perfectly showcased her beautiful figure.

Her rounded, perky buttocks and full breasts formed a beautiful curve from bottom to top.

When the woman noticed that Hideki Yuzuru was looking her over, she immediately apologized timidly.

"Mr. Yuzuru, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not being careful while walking."

"hehe."

Hideki Yuzuru chuckled lightly, looking at the woman in front of him with a playful expression, "As long as you don't blame me for not helping you up, that's fine."

"I...of course I won't blame you, sir."

The expression of having her thoughts read flashed across the woman's face.

Although the woman tried to hide it well, how could the experienced Hideki Yuzuru not see it? After all, he had seen far too many women who took the initiative to approach him like this.

At this moment, Hideki Yuzuru regretted not bringing Guan Zhilin with him. Otherwise, with the high-level beauty Guan present, he would have had some fun to watch.

Although the woman's technique was a bit trendy, it had to be said that both her figure and face were quite in line with his aesthetic sense, which aroused a playful feeling in Hideki Yuzuru.

He asked directly, "Where is the former housekeeper? That Miss Wen?"

He rented a suite at the Regent Hotel for an extended period, and the hotel also provided him with a dedicated butler. Although he only visited a few times a year, the butler's service was quite good, and after a couple of visits, Hideki Hanyu had a good impression of him.

The woman replied, "I am Miss Wen's apprentice. My master has taken leave today, so I will temporarily serve as your housekeeper."

Hideki Yuzuru carefully examined the woman's face and felt that her appearance had some South Asian features, so he asked her another question.

Aren't you from Hong Kong?

The woman quickly explained, "Mr. Yuzuru, my name is Lin Shiwei, I am from Hong Kong, but my mother is Thai."

(Lin Shiwei, reference to Vietnamese pho, photo)

Hideki Yuzuru nodded. "I see."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and, feigning gentlemanly manners, reached out to help Lin Shiwei, who was still awkwardly posing on the ground, to her feet.

"Miss Lin, the ground is cold. Lying on it for too long is bad for your health."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuzuru."

Lin Shiwei, who was helped up by Hideki Yuzuru, couldn't hide her joy in her eyes, but on the surface she still pretended to be weak and pitiful.

It seemed that Hideki Yuzuru's actions gave her confidence, and just as she was about to say something more, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Yuzuru, why haven't you gotten on the elevator yet?"

The speaker was none other than Jackie Chan, who had come to the hotel with Hideki Yuzuru, but was delayed a little longer because he encountered fans at the entrance.

Upon hearing Cheng Long's words, Hideki Yuzuru moved away from Lin Shiwei and said, "Ms. Lin, you can talk to my assistant about anything."

Then he beckoned Cheng Long to take the elevator, saying, "There was a little accident, just think of it as waiting for you, Ah Long."

As they were talking, Hideki Hanyu and Jackie Chan had already entered the elevator together.

Lin Shiwei seemed to want to come in with them, but was stopped by the bodyguard who entered the elevator with her.

Just moments ago, Hideki Yuzuru had been acting like a gentleman, helping Lin Shiwei up, but now he didn't even glance at her.

This action surprised Lin Shiwei greatly.

Just now, Hideki Hanyu had so gentlemanly helped her up, showing no aversion to her approaching, so why was he so distant now?

In a short time, a huge sense of disparity welled up in Lin Shiwei's heart.

As the elevator doors closed, Cheng Long, seemingly sensing something, asked, "What's going on with this beautiful lady?"

Hideki Hanyu shrugged. "A girl who wants to make a name for herself."

Cheng Long looked enlightened, realizing what had happened.

After all, as a top star, Jackie Chan has encountered this kind of thing many times in the entertainment industry.

Thinking of Lin Shiwei's appearance, Cheng Long asked curiously, "It seems you didn't directly refuse?"

Hideki Hanyu shrugged. "Just playing around when I had nothing else to do."

Cheng Long said, "No wonder you didn't send Miss Guan."

"These two things are unrelated; there are still some matters concerning Asian cinemas that require her attention."

Just as Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.

Hideki Hanyu and Cheng Long stepped out of the elevator and entered the suite on the top floor.

Meanwhile, in the suite, guests can enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour. On the huge terrace with its private pool, the hotel staff are already preparing for the party.

The aroma of meat wafted from the open-air barbecue grill, making Hideki Hanyu's mouth water.

"I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. Ah Long, do as you please."

If any guests come, please greet them for me.

Upon hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Jackie Chan immediately asked, "Which guests did you invite?"

"We're all friends, no need to be nervous."

After finishing his sentence, Hideki Yuzuru returned to his room.

When he finished washing up and changed into a rather casual bathrobe, the guests had already arrived on the terrace.

At a table laden with food and drinks, Cheng Long was chatting with Pan Disheng and a short man wearing glasses.

On the chairs by the pool, Zhao San Gongzi, Liu Luanxiong, Luo Zhaohui, Deng Jiaming and others sat in a row, facing the pool, while several bikini-clad beauties commented on them.

Facing the railing of Victoria Harbour, Masao Kobayashi, president of Cloud Entertainment (Asia), was chatting with several media industry bosses from Hong Kong, holding a wine glass.

When Hideki Hanyu appeared, everyone naturally came up to greet him.

When it was Pan Disheng's turn, after greeting him, she introduced the short, bespectacled man next to her to Hideki Yuzuru.

"Mr. Yuzuru, this is Mr. Yang Shoucheng, the owner of Emperor Watch & Jewellery. When you called to invite me here earlier, I was discussing business with Mr. Yang." Although Yuzuru Hideki recognized Yang Shoucheng, the future big boss of Emperor Entertainment, as soon as he entered, he pretended to be surprised.

"So this is the Mr. Yang you mentioned on the phone. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Before coming to the hotel, Hideki Hanyu called to invite Pan Disheng to come over. After Pan Disheng agreed, he said that the person he was talking to on business wanted to get to know Hideki Hanyu.

Upon hearing that it was Yang Shoucheng from Emperor Entertainment Group, Hideki Yuzuru agreed, which is why the other party appeared here.

After all, this party is not a private gathering, so if the invited guests want to bring friends, Hideki Hanyu will generally not refuse.

Just like the people around Masatomo Kobayashi, they were all invited by Masatomo Kobayashi at the last minute, wanting to get to know Hideki Hanyu.

Although Yang Shoucheng was twenty years older than Hideki Yuzuru, he still showed a slightly flattering attitude when facing Yuzuru.

"Mr. Yuzuru, it is a great honor to meet you. I apologize for disturbing you today."

Hideki Yuzuru replied politely, "We're friends now that we've met, Mr. Yang, there's no need to be so polite. Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future."

Yang Shoucheng quickly said, "Mr. Yuzuru, I am also very interested in the entertainment industry. I recently took over a friend's entertainment company, and I hope you can take care of me in the future."

Upon hearing this, Hideki Yuzuru thought that if he remembered correctly, the entertainment company Yang Shoucheng mentioned should be Fitto Entertainment, founded by Ye Zhiming, the brother of Ye Yuqing.

According to information he learned on the internet in his previous life, Ye Zhiming and Yang Shoucheng were friends. When Ye Zhiming ran into cash flow problems with his entertainment company's film investments, he went to Yang Shoucheng to borrow money.

As a result of the investment failure, and unable to repay the money, they had no choice but to sell Feitu Entertainment to Yang Shoucheng to settle the debt.

Initially, Yang Shoucheng was very successful in the real estate, finance, watch and jewelry industries, and his focus was not on the entertainment industry. It was not until the late 1990s that he changed the name of Fitto Entertainment to Emperor Entertainment.

It's only 1990 now, and Yang Shoucheng has already said he's interested in the entertainment industry. Could it be another example of the influence caused by his butterfly effect?

Thinking of this, Hideki Yuzuru continued politely, "With a big boss like Mr. Yang joining Hong Kong's entertainment industry, it will surely become even more prosperous."

However, I rarely interfere in the company's operations and management. If Mr. Yang wants to discuss specific cooperation, perhaps he should speak with President Kobayashi.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shoucheng said, "Of course we need to discuss the specific cooperation with President Kobayashi, but before that, I would like to ask Mr. Yuzuru to give me an opportunity."

"Oh? What opportunity?" Hideki Yuzuru asked.

Yang Shoucheng looked around and said to Yu Sheng Hideki, "Could we speak in private?"

"of course can."

After Hideki Yuzuru agreed, he and Yang Shoucheng returned to the house together.

Hideki Yuzuru asked, "Mr. Yang, you can tell me what you would like to ask of me now."

Yang Shoucheng said, "I'd like to subscribe to shares in Asia Cinemas, but I don't know if there's still an opportunity?"

When he heard that Yang Shoucheng wanted to subscribe for shares in Asia Cinemas, Hideki Yuzuru's expression remained unchanged.

After all, he was able to invite so many Hong Kong film companies to discuss business, so he never thought that this kind of thing could be kept completely secret.

Moreover, if it's just an Asian cinema chain going public, not everyone outside the industry cares.

Just like the richest man Li and other tycoons I've met these past few days, they haven't asked him about the listing of the Asian cinema chain at all, which clearly shows that they don't care about this matter.

Hideki Hanyu himself didn't care how many people subscribed; all he wanted was to bring in companies from the industry to meet the listing requirements.

Considering Emperor Entertainment's future status in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and Yang Shoucheng's skills and abilities in the industry.

Hideki Yuzuru didn't care what Yang Shoucheng's purpose was in subscribing—whether he wanted to use the opportunity to enter the Hong Kong entertainment industry or saw a chance to make money—he simply pretended to consider it before expressing his opinion.

"Of course there is an opportunity. Mr. Yang is willing to support the listing of Asian cinemas. I should thank Mr. Yang."

Upon seeing that Hideki Yuzuru had agreed, Yang Shoucheng immediately asked impatiently, "I wonder when we can discuss the details?"

Hideki Yuzuru replied, "Anytime is fine. If you'd like, Manager Peter Fang is currently at the company handling the subscription matters. You can go and talk to him first."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shoucheng seemed afraid that Hideki Yuzuru might change his mind, so he immediately agreed, "I'll go to the Asian Cinema now. Could you please contact Manager Fang for me, Mr. Yuzuru?"

Yang Shoucheng hurriedly took his leave and headed straight for the headquarters of the Asian Cinema Circuit.

After he left, Hideki Yuzuru called Peter Fang, who was still working overtime, to explain Yang Shoucheng's intention to subscribe to the shares and to make arrangements for the details.

After hanging up the phone, Hideki Yuzuru thought to himself with a smile that he had been framed as a future Hong Kong entertainment industry giant by taking advantage of the listing of Asian cinema chain.

"More fish have entered the pond; what a pleasant surprise!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Hideki Yuzuru went up and opened the door, only to find Lin Shiwei, who was standing there looking pretty, the one who wanted to "stand out."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Ms. Hayashi, is there something you need?"

Lin Shiwei was surprised to find that it was Yuzuru Hideki who opened the door. A flash of surprise crossed her eyes, but she tried her best to maintain a professional demeanor and asked questions.

"Mr. Yuzuru, I'm so sorry to bother you. I just came to check if you need any help."

Hideki Yuzuru looked at Lin Shiwei, at the young girl's attempts to conceal her desire for success, which he could see clearly through her attempts to take shortcuts.

He gave a gentle smile and said, "I don't have any needs at the moment, but if Miss Lin is willing, you can come in and wait. If I need anything, Miss Lin can provide the service immediately."

Miss Lin feigned surprise and asked, "May I?"

Hideki Hanyu stepped aside and said, "Of course you can, and we already have your chefs and waiters inside."

And so, everyone saw Hideki Yuzuru and Shousei Yang return to their room together, but when they came back, they were accompanied by a young and beautiful woman in a hotel uniform.

Seeing this, Luo Zhaohui, who had drunk quite a bit, leaned over to Yu Sheng Hideki with a flushed face and said, "Boss, are you not satisfied with the beautiful woman I brought today?"

Although Hideki Hanyu had said that today's party would be a "vegetarian" party when he invited him, Luo Zhaohui still brought models from his modeling agency with him, the ones who were playing in the pool.

Hideki Yuzuru didn't answer the guy's question, but instead asked, "What's going on with you? Didn't I help you pursue that Miss Yuan? Why are you doing this again?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhaohui immediately looked distressed and said, "I don't know either. After I went downstairs that day, I thought everything would go smoothly with the help of a big shot, but he rejected me on the spot and never contacted me again."

Hearing Luo Zhaohui's words, Hideki Yuzuru was also a little confused.

In her past life, Miss Hong Kong, Yuan, and Luo Zhaohui, whether it was a sugar daddy arrangement or a romantic relationship, did indeed date for a period of time.

How come it's already completely over before it even started?
It can't be because of him again, can it?
But that day at the restaurant in Happy Valley, he had his bodyguards throw Yuan Yongyi and her friend out. Could it be that the woman has some hidden SM tendencies?
Unable to figure it out, Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to think about it anymore.

He decided to have a party today on a whim, not for any beautiful women, but just to have a get-together with everyone before leaving Hong Kong.

So he patted Luo Zhaohui on the shoulder and said, "She's just a woman, why are you looking so gloomy? Cheer up and come have a drink with me."

After having a drink with Luo Zhaohui, Hideki Yuzuru sent him away and then called Liu Luanxiong over to talk about Asian cinemas.

She also pulled Jackie Chan aside and talked about the Golden Dragon Award.

Liu Luanxiong was very interested in the idea of ​​the Golden Dragon Award and immediately offered many suggestions from a capital perspective, stating that the event should be held in conjunction with the listing schedule.

It was only at this moment that Cheng Long realized that the listing of Asia Cinemas was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Liu Luanxiong patted Cheng Long on the shoulder and said, "If it's just about listing the company and increasing the value of the stock, why would Mr. Yuzuru care about that?"

You'll see then how many ways there are to make money from this.

Listening to Liu Luanxiong's words, Yu Sheng Hideki really wanted to say that even if Asian Cinemas went public, he wouldn't care about the money he made from ripping people off.

Seeing that Jackie Chan was stunned by the intimidation, Hideki Yuzuru stepped forward and pulled Jackie Chan away, saying, "You don't need to worry about these capital operations. Boss Zou will definitely help you when the time comes."

"Besides, I'm here to relax today, so let's not talk about business anymore. Let's go drink and eat."

While dragging Cheng Long along for food and drinks, Hideki Yuzuru didn't notice that Lin Shiwei, whom he had brought in, was standing at the entrance, her gaze growing increasingly intense as she looked at the party filled with distinguished guests.
