Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1025 Playing the piano to a cow
"Kobayashi, what do you think?"

As the party drew to a close and guests began to leave, Hideki Hanyu, who had just seen Jackie Chan off, approached Masato Kobayashi and asked him this question.

Upon hearing this, Masayuki Kobayashi followed Hideki Yuzuru's gaze and discovered that the person Yuzuru was referring to was Lin Shiwei, the hotel's housekeeper who was directing the hotel staff to clean up the mess from the party.

Hideki Yuzuru had just told Masato Kobayashi about Lin Shiwei.

Therefore, Masato Kobayashi asked with some confusion, "Chairman, I don't understand what you mean?"

In Kobayashi Masatake's view, even if Hideki Hanyu wanted to do something, he didn't need to pay so much attention to such an ordinary woman who was somewhat attractive.

Hideki Hanyu swirled the wine in his glass. "I just suddenly had an idea to play a game."

"What game?" Masato Kobayashi had no idea what Hideki Hanyu meant.

“A compliance test game,” Hideki Hanyu replied.

"Her?" Masao Kobayashi asked, puzzled.

Hideki Hanyu shook his head. "She's just a tool."

Seeing that Kobayashi Masatsugu still looked puzzled, Hanyu Hideki whispered a few words to him.

After he finished speaking, Masato Kobayashi looked thoughtful.

Following that, Hideki Hanyu asked, "Do you understand what to do?"

Masao Kobayashi nodded hesitantly. "I understand."

"Very good, then I'll leave the rest to you."

After finishing speaking, Hideki Yuzuru strode towards Lin Shiwei.

When the woman saw Hideki Yuzuru approaching, she tidied her hair and asked him in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Mr. Yuzuru, is there anything I can do for you?"

Hideki Hanyu didn't answer, but instead asked Lin Shiwei an unexpected question, "What do you want to get?"

Lin Shiwei was taken aback by the question and completely forgot to answer.

Hideki Hanyu then asked again, "What do you want to get by approaching me?"
For me, finding out certain things isn't difficult, like whether your mentor took a day off today.

In an instant, Lin Shiwei's face showed the panic of having all her secrets exposed, and she stammered as she spoke.

"me……"

Hideki Hanyu said, "You don't want to answer? Then forget it."

"I want to answer, I..."

Lin Shiwei was about to say something anxiously, but Yu Sheng Hideki placed the wine glass in her hand, interrupting her.

"Let's clean this up first."

He then went straight into the suite.

Soon, the party ended, and the mess was cleaned up completely.

After changing his clothes, Hideki Yuzuru sat cross-legged on a chair by the pool, watching Lin Shiwei climb out of the pool. His once neat work uniform was now completely soaked.

All of this was simply because the other party wanted to prove their determination.

Looking at Lin Shiwei in front of him, Hideki Yuzuru nodded in approval.

"Very good, I like obedient people."

"Mr. Yuzuru, I can do more."

Seeing hope, Lin Shiwei's words were full of urgency.

However, the next moment, Hideki Hanyu waved his hand and said...

"Okay, you can leave now."

"I……"

Lin Shiwei, who had expected something more to happen, was filled with surprise.

"Someone will contact you."

After saying that, Hideki Hanyu stood up and walked straight out of the suite.

……

Inside Rosamund Kwan's mansion in Kowloon Tong.

Hideki Yuzuru, reclining on the sofa, was holding the exhausted and powerless Guan Meiren in his arms.

Clearly, a major battle has just taken place here.

Meanwhile, after the truce, Guan Meiren is reporting to Hideki Hanyu about the upcoming listing of Asian cinemas.

As for why she didn't say anything after meeting him, it's because as soon as Hideki Yuzuru returned, he completely captivated Guan Meiren.

"Mr. Yang is very decisive. He signed the subscription agreement after talking with Manager Fang for a short time and had no objection to the conditions in the agreement."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Didn't you know him before?"

Guan Zhilin replied, "His business has nothing to do with the film industry, so I've only met him a few times at parties. I never expected him to come and subscribe for shares in Asia Cinemas."

Hideki Hanyu said, "Just because it didn't matter before doesn't mean it won't matter in the future."

Rosamund Kwan asked, "You think highly of him?"

Hideki Hanyu replied, "I'm more interested in his money. The entertainment industry is essentially a money game. As long as you have enough capital, you have plenty of choices, and you can start over even if you fail."

"He can't possibly be better than you, can he?" Guan Zhilin pouted.

Seeing the doll-like beauty in such a pose, the scumbag couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

"He's certainly not as good as me, but for my plan, I need someone to be the catfish in my fishpond."

Hideki Hanyu's words contained profound meaning.

However, Guan Meiren did not understand, and her eyes looked slightly blank.

Seeing this, the scumbag said, "You don't need to think about these things. You should focus on the internal subscription of Asian cinemas."

"It's just a few shares; even if it goes public, it probably won't make much money."

Although Rosamund Kwan also obtained some shares through internal subscription of Asia Cinemas.

Having seen the world around Hideki Hanyu and spending money like water, Kwan Mei-ren no longer cared much about a few hundred or a thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Hideki Hanyu said, "This isn't a one-off deal. You'll see later, so it's best not to sell."

Guan Meiren obediently replied, "I'll do whatever you say."

"Hehe, I feel like I haven't heard enough."

As the scumbag spoke, he rolled over and got up, ignoring Guan Meiren's pleas for mercy, and started the fight again.

……

October 28th, Victoria Harbour Cruise Terminal.

After resting for a day at Guan Meiren's place, Hideki Yuzuru arrived here in the afternoon. Accompanied by Young Master Zhao, he boarded the cruise ship prepared by her, ready to embark on a pleasant journey.

As soon as he boarded the ship, he saw that Luo Zhaohui and Deng Jiaming had already arrived.

The two men immediately asked Hideki Yuzuru, "Boss, after this gathering, are you leaving Hong Kong?"

Hideki Hanyu said, "Yes, the real estate project I invested in in Shanghai is finished, and I'm going to attend the completion ceremony."

Deng Jiaming exclaimed, "This is really fast! It's only been a few months since the topping-out ceremony, and it's already completed. This is the tallest building in China!"

Luo Zhaohui chimed in, "The boss is really amazing. Please take us along sometime in the future."

Hideki Hanyu said, "I'm afraid there won't be an opportunity in the short term. I don't have any new investment plans in the domestic real estate market in the near future."

"That's such a pity. I originally wanted to cooperate with you in China. It's really not interesting to do real estate in Southeast Asia."

Zhao San Gongzi looked regretful.

However, to Hideki Hanyu, it all sounded a bit like Versailles.

The Cho Neng Group partnered with him and has been very successful in the Southeast Asian real estate market. The dividends they gave him recently amounted to nearly HK$100 million.

If this can be described as uninteresting, then there is no interesting business in the world.

Of course, because Young Master Zhao did such an outstanding job, Hideki Yuzuru also gained an extra sum of money to worry about.

Hideki Hanyu was already considering whether to use the money to buy some gifts for the women of Hong Kong as the end of the year approached.

While the group was chatting idly, the invited guests gradually boarded the ship.

Aside from familiar faces like Lau Luen-hung, Cheng Lung, and Poon Dik-sang, the others are all second- or third-generation heirs of young Hong Kong tycoons.

Even if you're not familiar with Hideki Hanyu, you've basically met him a few times.

Although Young Master Zhao said that he invited young people to join him on this trip so that they could have more fun.

But Young Master Zhao was not a real wastrel; he had unique abilities in business and could easily learn from Hideki Yuzuru by using events to build social connections.

As everyone arrived and the cruise ship set sail, they entered the ship's largest banquet hall. Zhao San Gongzi clapped his hands and addressed the crowd.

"Friends, please welcome the beautiful lady who will be accompanying you on this journey!"

As soon as Young Master Zhao finished speaking, a group of beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, filed in through a small door next to the banquet hall stage.

While everyone was admiring the beautiful woman, Young Master Zhao reminded them to respect her opinion and not to force her.

Of course, the beautiful women who are willing to accept the invitation are definitely hoping to marry a rich man. As long as these young masters are willing, there is no need for them to act recklessly.

After issuing his warning, Young Master Zhao began to focus on introducing the more prominent beauties among them, such as models, actresses, and even contestants who had participated in Miss Asia and Miss Hong Kong pageants. This approach was completely different from the West Coast Yacht Club event that Hideki Hanyu had attended in America a few months earlier.

It felt like a huge cruise ship social party.

However, Hideki Yuzuru didn't recognize most of the women who came out, which was a pity considering Zhao San Gongzi's good intentions.

However, as the beauties reached the last one, the Third Young Master Zhao, who was introducing them, suddenly changed his tone, pointed to the last beauty, and introduced her with a smug tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very honored to have invited this year's Miss Hong Kong winner, Ms. Anita Yuen, to this trip. In the end, it will depend on your skills to win the heart of this beauty."

Upon hearing this, even the group of wealthy young men couldn't help but excitedly discuss it when they saw Yuan Yongyi, dressed in a long dress, actually appear.

After all, no one expected that Young Master Zhao would prepare such a surprise.

Meanwhile, Hideki Yuzuru and Deng Jiaming both turned their gazes toward Luo Zhaohui beside them, whose expression was one of disbelief.

After all, this Miss Hong Kong, who was being pursued by Luo Zhaohui, had just rejected his advances not long ago, but now she's here.

With his doubts still lingering, Yu Shengxiu waited until Zhao San Gongzi finished his introduction and then immediately called the other party over.

Hideki Hanyu pointed to the beautiful women who had already left the stage and were moving around, and asked.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm very curious how you managed to invite the Miss Hong Kong winner?"

When Hideki Hanyu asked this question, everyone else looked on with curiosity.

Young Master Zhao shrugged. "I didn't actually invite her."

"What? Could it be that she took the initiative?"

This time, it was Luo Zhaohui who spoke.

Luo Zhaohui was clearly unwilling to face the fact that Miss Yuan would rather come here to find a rich husband than accept his pursuit.

Young Master Zhao replied, "Yes, it was she who took the initiative."

And it wasn't just her; many of the beautiful women here proactively expressed their desire to participate in the event after I announced it.

Upon hearing this, Hideki Yuzuru immediately teased Zhao San Gongzi on the shoulder, "As expected of Zhao Sheng, all those beauty pageants you organized in the past were indeed worthwhile."

After saying that, he turned around and patted Luo Zhaohui on the shoulder.

"With so many beautiful women around, don't get hung up on just one person."

Young Master Zhao chimed in, "Yes, it took me quite a bit of effort to gather so many beauties. Let's get moving!"

Upon hearing Zhao San Gongzi's words, everyone immediately scattered like birds and beasts, heading to the surrounding halls to chase after their favorite beauties.

Especially Luo Zhaohui, who was heading straight for Miss Yuan, clearly hadn't given up yet.

However, Hideki Hanyu was not among them and turned to walk outside.

After the excitement of the West Coast Yacht Club in America, this kind of social event seems a bit bland to Hideki Hanyu.

Moreover, a scumbag who has tasted all kinds of top beauties is no longer impulsive when he sees a beautiful woman.

At this moment, the most popular Miss Hong Kong, Yuen, was met with disdain by Hideki Yuzuru due to news from his past life, as well as her emotional intelligence and personality.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu, who didn't want to join in the fun, simply left the banquet hall and went to the top deck to enjoy the sunset.

However, what Hideki Yuzuru didn't expect was that he wasn't the only one who wanted to watch the sunset from the top deck.

Not long after he came up, others followed him up.

Some people came up alone, while others came in pairs.

Just as the cruise ship staff brought over the wine that Hideki Hanyu had ordered, a figure sat down next to him.

"Mr. Yuzuru was the first to leave. Is it because he doesn't like crowds?"

Hideki Yuzuru turned his head and looked at the woman beside him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Because this woman was none other than the most sought-after Miss Hong Kong, Ms. Yuen.

Hideki Yuzuru never expected that the other party would not choose the wealthy young men who fawned over him, nor the unwilling Luo Zhaohui, but instead come here to approach him.

It should be noted that not long ago, he had his bodyguards throw him out of the restaurant.

Could it be true, as he said, that this woman harbors some kind of fetish?

Thinking this to himself, Hideki Yuzuru, who was already indifferent to this woman, simply turned his wine glass around and did not answer her question.

Even so, Miss Hong Kong still did not give up.

"Mr. Yuzuru, do you know that I boarded this ship because of you?"

Hideki Hanyu was even more puzzled by this, but he finally spoke up.

“Miss Yuan, we don’t seem to know each other very well, and if I remember correctly, our first meeting didn’t seem to be pleasant either.”

Unexpectedly, Miss Yuen said, "I don't care. After meeting Mr. Luo that day, I felt that we were a match made in heaven. For this reason, I even rejected Mr. Luo's advances."

"Uh……"

Hideki Yuzuru was speechless, thinking that Luo Zhaohui and Miss Yuan's relationship had gone astray, and it was indeed because of his appearance.

At the same time, he was also troubled by his overwhelming charm.

It was only their first meeting, and it was an unpleasant one at that. How did this woman manage to hold onto it?

The problem is, although this woman is beautiful, he really isn't interested in her.

Thinking of this, Hideki Yuzuru bluntly stated.

"Miss Yuan, no matter what you think, I have absolutely no interest in you, so don't waste your time on me."

But before he could finish speaking, Yuan Yongyi said urgently.

"I don't believe it. There's no one on this ship prettier than me, no one more worthy of you than me."

Seeing Yuan Yongyi's confidence, Hideki Yuzuru felt like he was talking to a brick wall.

Just as Hideki Yuzuru was getting tired of dealing with the woman and was about to have his bodyguards kick her out, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Miss Yuan, since Mr. Yuzuru has said he is not interested in you, why do you keep pestering him?"

Hideki Hanyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in a long dress with curly hair, a graceful and voluptuous figure, who looked young and beautiful, but had an air of mature sophistication.

"Who are you? What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?" Yuan Yongyi questioned the girl.

The girl said calmly, "Who I am is not important. I am just speaking up for Mr. Yuzuru."

Since winning the Miss Hong Kong title, Yuen Wing-yee, who was fawned over wherever she went, immediately lost her temper and started arguing with the woman.

The young girl completely disregarded Yuan Yongyi's identity and began to confront Yuan, the Miss Hong Kong.

However, the two women did not notice that while they were exchanging words, Hideki Yuzuru, who was standing next to them, had already left with his wine glass.

Now that he had a chance to escape, Hideki Yuzuru didn't want to waste his time.

In a different location, Hideki Hanyu comfortably enjoyed the sunset.

As he got up to go to the restaurant for something to eat and then relax by playing some slot machines in the casino cabin.

But then the girl who had just argued with Yuan Yongyi appeared in front of him and said in a low voice.

"I helped the man out of a difficult situation, but he abandoned me without even saying thank you?"

"Thank you for your help, Miss."

Although Hideki Yuzuru could have gotten rid of Miss Yuen regardless of whether she was there or not, she did help him, so Hideki Yuzuru still thanked her.

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately smiled sweetly and said, "You're welcome."

When the girl smiled, Hideki Yuzuru suddenly felt that the girl's appearance was quite pleasing to the eye and actually matched his aesthetic standards.

Considering the itinerary organized by Young Master Zhao, which will involve spending two nights and one day on the cruise ship starting tonight, it seems a bit lonely not to find a beautiful woman.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu asked, "May I ask what your name is, Miss?"

The girl replied, "My name is Chen Heng."

"Chen Heng..."

After a brief recollection, some information immediately came to mind.

He looked the girl over carefully and asked, "Were you a contestant in last year's Miss Asia pageant?"

Chen Heng nodded. "Yes, I participated in the Miss Asia pageant last year and made it to the finals, but I didn't win any awards."

Upon hearing this answer, Hideki Hanyu finally confirmed that the information in his memory was correct.

The 1989 Miss Asia pageant is hailed as the most glorious and prestigious pageant in the history of Miss Asia.

Not only did it produce champion Yvonne Yung, but also runner-up Joey Meng, and the top five all achieved remarkable results later in life.

In his previous life, Hideki Hanyu naturally watched the recording of such a grand event.

However, during the finals, Hideki Hanyu discovered that one of the contestants was actually just as good-looking as the top few.

At least in Hideki Yuzuru's opinion, even if he can't compare to Yvonne Yung or beat Joey Meng, making it into the top five shouldn't be a problem.

As a result, although this contestant was very much liked by judge Leslie Cheung, she ultimately failed to make it into the top five.

There are rumors that it's because of her domestic background, while others say that she offended Liu Juanjuan, the image director of Miss Asia.

After signing with ATV, he didn't get any resources. After acting alongside Joey Meng in the 1991 TV series "The Winner Takes All", he disappeared from the entertainment industry.

And this beautiful woman is none other than Chen Heng, standing right in front of us.
