Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 1026 Ah Hui "Cracked"
As night fell, the cruise ship had already sailed out of Victoria Harbour.

Inside the spinach ship's cabin, Hideki Hanyu was sitting at a table, playing Hong Kong-style five-card poker with others, also known as "all-in" in gambling movies.

By this time, the cards had been dealt to the very end, and Hideki Hanyu's cards, from the hole cards to the face cards, were so bad they were unbearable to look at. However, he didn't care at all and threw in his chips to call.

And after the last card was dealt, he placed it near Chen Heng's mouth.

"Hey beautiful, can you blow on it for me?"

Chen Heng said with a charming smile, "I always lose when I help you, so let's not."

Hideki Hanyu said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's just a little money. Being happy is the most important thing."

Hearing Hideki Yuzuru's words, Chen Heng looked at Hideki Yuzuru with even more admiration.

After all, ever since Hideki Hanyu took her out to dinner and started playing cards here, Hideki Hanyu, who hasn't had much luck, has already lost three or four million yen.

With his extravagant spending and unparalleled wealth, coupled with his exceptionally handsome appearance, Hideki Hanyu's charm was off the charts in the eyes of women.

At the same time, the other card players at the table also shouted that Hideki Hanyu was awesome.

After all, when playing cards at a table, while everyone dislikes losing, they do admire those who can afford to lose.

call!
The woman then pretended to blow a breath.

Hideki Hanyu flipped over the cards without even looking at them, and a card for a nobody appeared right in front of him.

Without even looking at his cards, Hideki Hanyu grabbed them and threw them out.

"Lost again. My luck is not good tonight."

Although he said that, his expression was calm and composed, showing no sign of feeling upset about losing, as if he had only lost thirty-odd dollars, not thirty-odd dollars.

However, for Hideki Hanyu, let alone 300,000 yen, even if he had exchanged 5 million yen for chips and now only had a few hundred thousand yen left, he would not feel any pain.

There's nothing we can do about it; he's making money too fast. Putting everything else aside, the HK$100 million in dividends given by Young Master Zhao is still sitting in his account, and we don't know what to do with it.

"Yuzuru, your luck is a bit bad. How about we stop playing and go to the deck for a drink?"

Cheng Long, who was sitting at the same table, made a suggestion to Hideki Yuzuru.

Hideki Hanyu waved his hand, "Okay, but let's play one more round, and it'll be over no matter who wins or loses."

As they were talking, the outcome of the previous round was already decided.

The dealer dealt the cards again. Hideki Hanyu's cards were neither good nor bad, but he still just kept playing and didn't run away. When it came to the last card, Chen Heng blew on it again.

After the cards were flipped, they actually won with a small pair.

"I never expected that after losing all night, I would actually win the last game."

As Hideki Yuzuru spoke, he grabbed the chips and stuffed them directly into Chen Heng's arms, squeezing the other man's chest until it was deformed.

Under Chen Heng's surprised and suspicious gaze, Hideki Yuzuru said, "I've given them all to you."

Then he put his arm around Cheng Long's shoulder and walked towards the outer deck.

Chen Heng, who remained where he was, watched as Hideki Yuzuru won the final round with a chip count exceeding one million, and was somewhat at a loss.

On the cruise ship deck that evening, the chef prepared a delicious barbecue.

After Yuzuru Hideki and Cheng Long found a place to sit down and started drinking and eating, Luo Zhaohui and Liu Luanxiong came over.

As soon as Liu Luanxiong sat down, she said, "Ahui and I just heard that Mr. Yuzuru lost money."

"It's just a small matter, how did it become known throughout the entire ship?" Hideki Yuzuru said with a helpless expression.

Luo Zhaohui quickly said, "Who told you that the big boss lost money? Don't you know that so many young masters came on board this time not because of Zhao Sheng's face, but all because of you, big boss?"

Liu Luanxiong also affirmed, "That's right, all the wealthy people in Hong Kong are old foxes. If they have the opportunity to contact Mr., even if they can't reach a cooperation agreement, they will definitely send their children over if they can get acquainted with him."

“I think it’s not just these young masters; many of the women who boarded the ship were there for Yuzuru,” Cheng Long chimed in.

"OK OK."

Hideki Yuzuru quickly interrupted them, "Don't make me sound like some kind of irresistible treasure, someone everyone wants a bite out of. I'm on board to relax, and I don't care about anything else."

"The big boss isn't exactly a tempting target, but he's even more tempting than Tang Sanzang. If I had known he would lose millions at the gambling table, I would have joined in too."

Luo Zhaohui's feigned annoyance made everyone laugh.

Just then, Chen Heng, having exchanged his chips, arrived late.

After the woman sat down next to Hideki Hanyu, she handed him a check and said, "Sir, this is the chip you asked me to exchange."

Hideki Hanyu glanced at the check but didn't take it. "Didn't I say it was for you?"

Chen Heng looked at the number 1.1 million on the check, pursed his lips, and said, "That's too much, I can't accept it."

"Haha, interesting."

Hideki Yuzuru chuckled as he looked at Chen Heng, "Compared to the Miss Asia winner from your cohort, you're really too timid."

"The champion?" Chen Heng looked puzzled. "Are you referring to Miss Weng, sir?"

However, before Hideki Yuzuru could speak, Luo Zhaohui spoke first.

"Who else could it be but her? She knew a big shot before she participated in Miss Asia. Just to introduce her to that big shot, I introduced her advertising company to more than a million yuan worth of business."

Unfortunately, she wasn't cut out for business; the company she took on still failed, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to participate in the Miss Asia pageant.

Chen Heng was somewhat surprised to hear this. She had no idea that Weng Hong knew Hideki Yuzuru before she participated in the Miss Asia pageant.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but glance at Hideki Yuzuru.

Given Hideki Hanyu's playboy lifestyle, it goes without saying what kind of relationship Weng Hong had with him.

Chen Heng asked with some curiosity, "Do you still keep in touch with Miss Weng, sir?"

"No, it's been a long time since we last met," Hideki Yuzuru replied truthfully.

For Yvonne Yung, Hideki Yuzuru's actions were nothing more than a result of memories from a past life.

Like many of the beautiful Hong Kong women he had relationships with, after a few encounters, the novelty wore off, and he was given some benefits to get rid of them before being forgotten.

Upon hearing this, Chen Heng's face showed a look of sudden realization.

After winning the Miss Asia title last year, Yvonne Yung was packaged by ATV as a "pure and innocent" woman, but the resources she received were not very good.

If she truly still maintains a relationship with Hideki Hanyu, how could she only have this many resources?

Seeing Chen Heng in a daze, Hideki Yuzuru, who was standing nearby, spoke up directly.

"What are you thinking? Put the check away. I never ask for back what I give to women."

"Okay... okay."

Chen Heng finally stopped hesitating and put the check into his bag.

Upon seeing Chen Heng's unusual demeanor, Luo Zhaohui immediately became curious and asked Yu Shengxiu.

"Boss, I've never seen you with a girl before. How come you suddenly have this lady with you?"

Upon hearing Luo Zhaohui's words, Hideki Yuzuru recalled Yuan Yongyi, who had taken the initiative to contact him, and looked at Luo Zhaohui with a smile, asking, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Although Luo Zhaohui was a little puzzled, he still nodded and said, "If the big boss is willing to tell me, of course I'd like to know."

"This is what you asked me to say. The reason I know Miss Chen is actually because..."

Next, Hideki Yuzuru recounted how Yuan Yongyi came to him and how Chen Heng helped him out of the predicament.

After I finished speaking, I looked at Luo Zhaohui's face and found that he looked like I had "broken down".

Clearly, Luo Zhaohui now understood why Yuan Yongyi had given him the "friend zone" card and rejected his advances that day. It wasn't that he wasn't good enough; it was that she had her eye on the better Hideki Yuzuru.

Moreover, even after being thrown out by Hideki Hanyu's bodyguards, she only met Hideki Hanyu once before decisively choosing him.

However, at this moment, Liu Luanxiong, who was beside Luo Zhaohui, delivered another blow.

“Ah Hui, if I were Miss Yuan, I would also choose Mr. Yuzuru and want to compete with him. I advise you to give up.”

After Liu Luanxiong finished speaking, Cheng Long nodded in approval from the side.

However, Hideki Yuzuru quickly clarified, "Mr. Liu, don't talk nonsense. I have no interest in that Miss Yuan, and I would never compete with Ah Hui."

"That's right. If Mr. Yuzuru wanted to compete, there would be no need for Ahui."

"And the gentleman just rejected her. Ah Hui, your chance has come! Seize the opportunity! It's a perfect chance!"

As Liu Luanxiong spoke, she began to offer advice and suggestions to Luo Zhaohui.

"I advise you not to talk about feelings anymore. If a woman is willing to enter the world of fame and fortune, you have to use fame, fortune, and power to win her over. Just ask her how much money she's willing to spend, and then throw money at her."

When Hideki Yuzuru gave these suggestions, he didn't care at all that Chen Heng was sitting right next to him.

After all, this has always been his view of women in the world of fame and fortune.

And the facts proved that these women were indeed as he described.

Take Miss Yuan for example. In another timeline, besides Luo Zhaohui, she was also entangled with the son of the ATV boss, the famous "Young Master Yue" of Hong Kong entertainment.

Most importantly, while "Young Master Yue" was entangled with Miss Yuan, he was also constantly involved in scandals with Wan Qiwen and Weng Hong, and the two women even had conflicts over it.

At this time, "Young Master Yue" was already married with children, and all three women entangled with him knew this.

Ha ha……

Therefore, these so-called "goddesses" can only be admired from afar.

Even with a little understanding and close contact, it's difficult for Hideki Hanyu to develop any "respect".

Unfortunately, ATV's "Young Master Yue" did not board the cruise ship for this event; otherwise, he could have exchanged some insights on being a scumbag with the other party.

As for why he didn't come, perhaps it's because of his investments in Hong Kong and the fact that his main partner is TVB.

Of course, besides the Cloud Group, his other companies also collaborated with ATV on advertising.

So, in a way, he could be considered a major financial backer of ATV.

For the group, Miss Yuan's topic was nothing more than a source of amusement.

Even Luo Zhaohui's feelings were merely out of resentment; it's not necessarily true that he liked Miss Yuan that much.

Therefore, the conversation quickly shifted to drinking, eating, and casually chatting about other things.

Not long after, these guys called over a beautiful woman to go sing karaoke.

Hideki Yuzuru wasn't interested in karaoke, so he said goodbye to the others and took Chen Heng back to his room on the ship.

As expected, after a fierce battle, Hideki Yuzuru looked at the crimson stains on the bedsheets in the room.

She asked with a hint of surprise, "You didn't tell me this was your first time."

Chen Heng said somewhat shyly, "I was born in 1972, isn't it normal for it to be my first time?"

"Eighteen years old, that was close. But your demeanor and figure seem completely out of place for your age."

Hideki Hanyu embraces a beautiful woman and makes suggestive remarks about her.

"Is it wrong for me to be precocious?"

Chen Heng did not refuse, letting Yu Sheng Xiuqi do as he pleased.

Hideki Hanyu asked directly, "In that case, tell me, what do you want?"

He didn't believe that this woman, who was willing to upload videos and deliberately approach him, was someone without desires.

Upon hearing this, Chen Heng didn't pretend to be aloof. Looking at Hideki Yuzuru, he said, "I want to terminate my contract with ATV."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Why?"

Chen Heng replied, "ATV won't give me any roles."

Hideki Hanyu said, "If you leave ATV, will you have any acting opportunities?"

“If I don’t leave, ATV won’t let me take on any outside projects.”

Chen Heng said this, then looked up and kissed Hideki Yuzuru, "Besides, if you're willing to help me, do you think I'm afraid of not getting any roles?"

"Hehe." Hideki Yuzuru laughed, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Small fame depends on promotion, great fame depends on fate'?"
Your image is decent, but you lack distinctive features, making it difficult for you to become famous in the entertainment industry.

Of course, if we push it at all costs, there is still hope.

But given our current relationship, you're not worth it for me to do this.

Chen Heng hugged Yu Sheng Hideki tightly, pleading urgently, "As long as you're willing to support me, I'll do anything you ask."

Hideki Hanyu pushed the woman's arms away. "How about you listen to my other suggestion?"

Chen Heng nodded obediently, "Please speak, sir."

“You speak Mandarin quite well. I happen to have some investments in Taiwan, including a television station. If you’d like, you could try working there.”

Hideki Hanyu made the suggestion.

Despite the current booming state of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, its market size and development, both now and in the future, are actually inferior to those of Taiwan.

Most importantly, the 1990s were the golden age of TV dramas, not only in Japan but also in Taiwan.

If an actor wants to become famous quickly, they should act in TV dramas.

If a singer wants to become famous, they should sing theme songs for TV dramas.

So instead of struggling in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, why not try a different path and develop your career in Taiwan?

In another timeline, Weng Hong, the Miss Asia winner from the same era as Chen Heng, failed to make a name for herself at ATV and followed the example of her predecessors, Qiu Yueqing and Ye Yuqing, by entering the adult entertainment industry.

Although she gained fame through films with explicit content, it completely ruined her future in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and led to her family severing ties with her. She eventually made a comeback by moving to Taiwan.

Upon hearing Hideki Yuzuru's words, Chen Heng didn't hesitate for long before agreeing, "I'm willing."

Chen Heng's consideration was simple: she saw no chance of making a name for herself at ATV, but she could try her luck in Taiwan.

Although both were television stations, she had no one to rely on at ATV, so going to Taiwan would allow her to get some help from Hideki Yuzuru.

Most importantly, this was an olive branch extended by Hideki Hanyu; she'd have to be crazy not to take it.

She didn't want to give up her connection with Hideki Yuzuru, no matter how small the chance.

After agreeing, she cautiously asked, "What about the ATV contract?"

"It's no big deal. I'll arrange for someone to take care of it for you once we get off the ship."

"Thank you, sir."

"Just saying?"

"gentlemen……"

The beautiful night only began when Chen Heng expressed his gratitude to Hideki Yuzuru through his actions.

　This is a make-up of yesterday's post; there will be another update tonight.
