Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 991 A Forced "Guidance"

Hideki Hanyu's mood, which had been messed up by the strange behavior, was completely healed the moment he picked up his daughter at the airport, by her smile and the word "Daddy" she uttered.

Sometimes he thinks that he has worked hard enough to get to where he is now, and whether he should stop and spend his time on the people around him.

Not only lovers and children, but also people should give themselves a rest.

Just like the idyllic two weeks I spent in Switzerland before.

After all, when he first transmigrated to this world, he also had the mindset of being content with a modest life and lying down to enjoy it, since he had enough money to last ten lifetimes.

The problem is that the higher he stands, the less secure he feels.

Because when you reach the very top, you will also feel an even more biting cold wind.

If you don't want the cold wind to blow you and those around you to pieces, then the only way is to constantly make yourself stronger.

The harsh realities of the world not only changed him but also prompted him to use more benefits and bind more power to protect himself.

Without realizing it, one becomes a machine that never stops.

Only when he briefly pursues his desires and enjoys the beauty of women does he feel like he has flesh and blood.

Therefore, the transformation from the person he was before to the person he is today was not achieved overnight or through a few events. It was a long process spanning many years and shaped by countless events.

He had no thoughts on this, did not regret his change, was not worried about the future, and was not indecisive in the present.

He really liked those lines from Master Oogway in his previous life's "Kung Fu Panda": "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift from heaven."

So, just cherish the present and firmly believe in yourself.

No matter what he is like now, he will not waver.

Therefore, the warmth from his daughter might move him for a moment, but it wouldn't stop him from moving forward.

So even when his daughter came, it didn't stop him from appreciating her beauty.

This is not referring to the sister-in-law who brought her daughter, but rather to the girl who was with the sister-in-law, with medium-length hair, dark skin, and a very unique appearance and temperament.

Inside the airport, as soon as Hideki Hanyu picked up his daughter, Zhou Wenqiong took the initiative to introduce the people around her.

"Brother-in-law, this is Ning Jing, who is my temporary assistant."

Even without Zhou Wenqiong saying it, Hideki Yuzuru would know who this is: Milan from "In the Heat of the Sun"?

Which boy who watched this movie as a child wasn't ignited with youthful passion by the voluptuous Milan in the film?

In this time and space, Hideki Yuzuru has met too many celebrities. He just had an interview with Yang Lan this morning, so seeing Ning Jing now is not a big deal.

What puzzled him was why Ning Jing would become Zhou Wenqiong's temporary assistant.

"Hello, sir."

Ning Jing, who was introduced by Zhou Wenqiong, immediately greeted Yuzuru Hideki.

Aside from being slightly surprised to hear that Hideki Hanyu spoke Mandarin so well.

Ning Jing greeted everyone with a poised and confident demeanor, which seemed unusual for someone who was only eighteen years old. It was clear that she had experienced hardships and was not a flower grown in a greenhouse.

Hideki Hanyu nodded and said, "Hello."

Then he called a few people to walk out of the airport and get into the car that was already waiting outside.

He drove himself to pick people up, using the same black Land Rover he drove home on his first day in the capital.

This is a newly launched five-door Land Rover Discovery.

This is the first new car launched by the Land Rover brand after Lamborghini Group acquired Land Rover. It debuted at the auto show last year and began to be delivered this year.

During the period when Range Rover focused on large luxury SUVs, this model was launched to fill the brand's gap in the mid-size SUV segment.

However, judging from this year's market sales, it can only be described as so-so, barely reaching the expected sales target.

However, such results are understandable, because only those who have lived through this era know how dominant Japanese brands such as the Toyota FJ series and Mitsubishi Pajero were in the mid-size SUV market.

Since the concept car was born, Japanese automakers have been the absolute kings in this field.

So when Land Rover found that its attempts to penetrate overseas markets were unsuccessful, Hideki Hanyu decisively suggested to Wendell Widkin that they should try the domestic market with this car.

Therefore, the Land Rover Discovery has now officially appeared on the list of models produced in cooperation with FAW.

However, the black Land Rover Discovery that Hideki Hanyu is currently driving is not produced by FAW, but was specially imported from overseas for his needs.

As for why Hideki Hanyu chose such a car, it wasn't because he liked it.

After all, in Hideki Hanyu's opinion, the first-generation Land Rover Discovery perfectly matched the aesthetics of that era, and in his eyes, it was simply indescribably ugly.

But considering that the car will be driven in the capital, keeping a low profile is absolutely the top priority.

So, luxury cars like Bentley and Rolls-Royce are out of the question; we should just give up on them.

Mercedes-Benz, which has a very high profile in the country, is also not under consideration.

It's even less likely that Hideki Hanyu would choose a supercar like a Ferrari or Lamborghini, whose flamboyant appearance is beyond belief.

So in the end he chose the Land Rover Discovery. Not only was it cheaper, but it also didn't have a high level of brand recognition in China. Moreover, as a new car, it had relatively better features. Although it looked ugly, at least it was comfortable to drive.

Of course, the fact that it's cheap and looks ugly is merely Hideki Hanyu's subjective perception.

That's not how it seems to others at all.

Zhou Wenqiong had driven all of Hideki Hanyu's luxury cars overseas, and her horizons had long been broadened, so she naturally wasn't surprised by this car.

However, seeing that it was a new car, I casually asked about the price.

Because it wasn't listed in China, Hideki Hanyu converted the price in US dollars to the exchange rate and casually mentioned a figure of several hundred thousand.

Zhou Wenqiong didn't react in any particular way, but Ning Jing, who was sitting in the back row, immediately changed his expression.

After getting into the car, she felt that it was big and impressive. She didn't expect it to be so expensive. In this day and age, it was definitely a huge sum of money for her, who came from an ordinary family.

Of course, before coming, she had learned about Hideki Yuzuru's identity from Zhou Wenqiong and understood that for Hideki Yuzuru, this was indeed just a small amount of money.

After all, since signing with Zhou Wenqiong's company, she had already learned from Zhou Wenqiong that Yu Sheng Hideki had invested tens of millions of yuan in Zhou Wenqiong to help her develop in China.

At this point, Zhou Wenqiong asked again, "Can this car be bought in China?"

Hideki Yuzuru said, "You want it? That Kui Niu motorcycle in Pengcheng is more expensive than this. Why don't you just drive that one?"

Zhou Wenqiong complained, "That car was clumsy and big, too tiring to drive, and the interior features weren't as good as this car's."

"It seems so."

The Lamborghini Griffin he transported to Shenzhen was an initial production model, with rudimentary features and unfriendly handling, making it unsuitable for women to drive.

"This car is a newly launched model. Although I have started cooperating with FAW to produce it, it will probably be a long time before it is launched. If you like it, I will send someone to drive it to Guangzhou for you after I finish my business in the capital."

Upon hearing Hideki Yuzuru's words, Zhou Wenqiong immediately asked, "Was this car also manufactured by my brother-in-law's company?"

While driving, Hideki Hanyu casually admitted, "Yes, it's a brand that was acquired less than two years ago."

Zhou Wenqiong immediately said, "Since it belongs to my brother-in-law, I don't want this one. I don't like black. You can have the factory build one for me according to my requirements."

"Okay, I'll have someone contact you later."

It was a small matter, and Hideki Yuzuru agreed without hesitation. Their conversation reached Ning Jing's ears in the back seat, and the eighteen-year-old girl was once again deeply shaken.

I thought Hideki Hanyu was just buying a car, but it turns out he bought the entire car factory.

Luxury cars that ordinary people can only look up to are, in the words of Zhou Wenqiong and Yu Sheng Hideki, something that can be customized to their liking at will.

At this very moment, they were sitting in the same car, yet they felt like they were living in two different worlds.

Hideki Yuzuru didn't notice Ning Jing's change in expression, but he was curious as to why she was following Zhou Wenqiong, so he asked Zhou Wenqiong, who was holding Qianqian.

"Xiao Qiong, this Miss Ning looks quite good. It's a bit of a waste for her to be an assistant. Haven't you considered training her properly?"

Zhou Wenqiong explained, "We are already training them; the assistant is just temporary."

I discovered her last year, when she had just started working as an animator at an animation company affiliated with Pearl River Film Studio…

With Zhou Wenqiong's explanation, Hideki Yuzuru finally understood why Ning Jing was working as Zhou Wenqiong's assistant.

It turns out that Ning Jing studied animation for a period of time before middle school, and later enrolled in a vocational art school to study acting. During her school years, she starred in her first film, "The Love of a Female Prisoner," at the age of sixteen.

After graduating from vocational school, Ning Jing went to Guangzhou to make her way in the world. In this day and age, a seventeen-year-old girl dares to venture out alone, which shows that her strong and straightforward personality was something she had from a young age.

In Ningjing, Guangzhou, he joined an animation company under the Pearl River Film Studio as an animator.

According to the original history, Ning Jing should have been spotted by advertisers first and became an advertising actor who filmed hundreds of commercials, thereby re-entering the film industry.

As a result, because of the butterfly effect of Hideki Yuzuru, Zhou Wenqiong returned to China to develop her career, which directly changed the development trajectory of Ningjing.

Since the policy of separating production and broadcasting has not yet been introduced, Zhou Wenqiong, like many early people in the film and television industry, needs to be affiliated with a production studio for cooperation.

Zhou Wenqiong, who had connections with the Pearl River Film Studio, naturally chose the Pearl River Film Studio.

However, even with affiliation, filming movies and TV series doesn't usually make much money.

Therefore, Zhou Wenqiong's registered "Qionghua Entertainment" has also carried out multiple businesses, such as the advertising business that early film and television people started with, and the currently booming star agency business, etc.

Although filming movies and TV series doesn't make money, it can make actors famous, and then help them get commercial performances, advertisements, or even release albums. In short, once they become famous, there are many ways to make money.

This is also an important reason why, although the film and television production sector was not yet open in the 1990s, the private entertainment industry was booming.

Then Zhou Wenqiong, who frequently visited the Pearl River Film Studio, unexpectedly discovered Ning Jing.

The reason was not because Ning Jing was beautiful, but because Ning Jing had dark skin and a unique charm that combined rusticity, innocence, and wildness.

This image is particularly suitable for taking a fashion route and shooting advertisements for imported brands.

Then, Ning Jing, who was signed by Zhou Wenqiong, went down the same path as an advertising actress.

However, unlike the other timeline, Ning Jing told Zhou Wenqiong from the beginning that her wish was to become a movie actress.

Zhou Wenqiong thought Ning Jing was good-looking and talented, so she decided to focus on cultivating Ning Jing and began to use the resources at her disposal to pave the way for Ning Jing in the film and television industry.

In another timeline, Ning Jing entered the film industry by shooting commercials, but only played minor supporting roles in obscure movies.

However, in this timeline, with Zhou Wenqiong's resources paving the way, she became the female lead in her first film at the Pearl River Film Studio, and subsequently starred in two more films.

Unfortunately, despite playing the female lead in several films, none of them made a splash after their release and failed to generate much buzz.

After careful consideration, Zhou Wenqiong decided to let Ning Jing pursue further studies and enrolled him in the acting department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Actually, by this time, the Shanghai Theatre Academy would already be in session.

However, since Zhou Wenqiong had come to the capital to watch the opening ceremony of the Asian Games and also wanted to meet her brother-in-law, who was a world entertainment tycoon, she thought of bringing Ning Jing, who was a key talent being cultivated by 'Qionghua Entertainment,' to Yanjing to broaden her horizons and get some guidance from Yu Sheng Hideki.

So he used his connections to help Ning Jing get leave and brought him to the capital under the guise of being an assistant.

After listening to Zhou Wenqiong's explanation, Yu Sheng Hideki glanced at Ning Jing through the rearview mirror.

In another timeline, the other person reportedly missed the registration deadline and ended up studying modeling at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

If I remember correctly, Xu Guangtou was also in this year's acting class at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

However, in this new timeline, the two of them actually became classmates in the acting class.

At that moment, Ning Jing unexpectedly noticed Hideki Yuzuru's gaze in the rearview mirror.

She, who is usually straightforward and generous, lowered her head shyly after discovering that Hideki Hanyu was paying attention to her.

There's nothing you can do about it. It's just that this scumbag has too many halos around him, and he's also incredibly handsome. Not many women can remain calm when they're in close proximity to him.

However, what Hideki Yuzuru said next immediately caught Ning Jing's attention.

Because Hideki Hanyu asked Zhou Wenqiong, "How do you want me to instruct her? I have no experience in acting."

Zhou Wenqiong said with great interest, "Of course, I'm giving her advice on her future development."

"Hehe!" Hideki Yuzuru chuckled. "I think I've figured out your little scheme. You don't actually want me to give you pointers; you just want me to arrange everything for you."

Zhou Wenqiong immediately said, "Brother-in-law, you invested in all of my companies. If they don't perform well, it will be your money that suffers the losses."

Hideki Hanyu said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I've already given you the money. If I lose it, I lose it. It's just a little money, I don't care."

Seeing that Hideki Yuzuru said that, Zhou Wenqiong immediately used her coquettish charm and pleaded sweetly.

"Brother-in-law~~~ please help me."

This surprised Ning Jing, who was standing behind.

After all, Zhou Wenqiong was always a powerful and capable businesswoman with a strong background. This was the first time Ning Jing had ever seen her act like a little girl.

However, pleading was useless. A simple suggestion might work, but judging from Zhou Wenqiong's attitude, Hideki Yuzuru knew that if he really gave her "suggestions," he would definitely try to control her to the end, so he simply ignored her.

Hideki Yuzuru refused, but Zhou Wenqiong persisted, pleading with him in the car.

If Ning Jing and her daughter hadn't been there, who knows what this woman might have done?

The pleading continued until they returned to the courtyard next to the Forbidden City, where it finally subsided.

However, once inside the courtyard, Zhou Wenqiong changed her attitude and immediately began asking all sorts of questions.

"Brother-in-law, when did you buy this yard?"

"I bought it a long time ago."

"Brother-in-law, who did the renovation?"

"You don't know me even if you tell me."

"Brother-in-law, why are there several teacups on the table in the yard? Did you entertain guests today?"

"Before we went to pick you up, CCTV conducted an interview with us."

……

Hideki Yuzuru, who was feeding koi in the pond with his daughter in his arms, was getting annoyed by his sister-in-law's barrage of questions. Seeing that Zhou Wenqiong was about to ask more, he decisively spoke first.

"Stop! I think we should talk about the guidance instead."

"Hehe, I knew my brother-in-law wouldn't abandon me."
