The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Ginza, Gekkeitei Club.

When the solid wood door to the basement was gently pushed open, Su Qingya instinctively shielded her younger sister behind her, her body tense like a bow.

But instead of Kentaro Mitsui, two middle-aged men in black suits and white gloves walked in.

The two women each held an elegant tray, on which were placed the sisters' confiscated cell phones, handbags, and two brand-new cashmere shawls.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry to have startled you."

The leading man bowed deeply, at a perfect 90-degree angle, his voice respectful to the point of being almost humble.

"The team leader has ordered us to escort the two of you to a safe place immediately. A car is already prepared outside. Please come with us."

Su Qingya and Su Qingyun exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Just three hours earlier, the guard had coldly refused their request to borrow the phone.

Just an hour earlier, Mitsui had sent someone to "remind" them that time was running out.

This sudden display of respect feels unreal.

"What happened?" Su Qingya asked calmly instead of immediately getting up.

The man, still bowing, replied, "The team leader has already understood the situation. This was entirely the personal act of Vice President Mitsui, and our Yamaguchi-gumi was completely unaware of it."

The team leader sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience caused to the two individuals and will personally explain the situation to Mr. Xu Yun.

The moment the name "Xu Yun" left her lips, Su Qingya felt her heart leap.

Su Qingyun blurted out, "He really came?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu Yun arrived in Tokyo two hours ago and visited our headquarters in person."

The man's voice, tinged with undisguised awe, replied, "Now, please allow us to escort you both out of here."

The two sisters didn't ask any more questions.

They knew the answer would come soon.

As I walked out of the club, what I saw parked outside wasn't an ordinary car, but a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The driver, dressed in uniform and wearing white gloves, immediately jogged to open the car door when he saw them get out.

Across the street, several men who had been smoking were clearly people sent by Mitsui to keep watch.

They were staring in disbelief at the scene.

One of them hurriedly pulled out his phone to make a call, his face growing increasingly grim.

The car smoothly drove away from Ginza, passing through the bustling night view of Tokyo.

Inside the car, Su Qingyun finally couldn't help but ask softly, "Sister, how did Xu Yun do it? The Yamaguchi-gumi... that's the Yamaguchi-gumi."

Su Qingya looked at the lights rushing past the window, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "We may never have truly understood him."

The man who seemed detached from everything, yet arranged every single detail.

The man who, despite being far away in Jiang County cutting ribbons, was the first to rush to his sister's side when she was in danger.

“He’s much more complicated than we imagined…” Su Qingya said softly.

At the same time, in a luxury hotel penthouse suite in the port area.

Xu Yun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of water, looking down at the night view of Tokyo Bay.

The lights of the Rainbow Bridge in the distance are reflected on the sea, breaking into a shimmering golden hue.

Lin Wanzhou stood not far behind him, as quiet as a statue.

Old Chen has just left, taking with him the "sincerity" sent by the Yamaguchi-gumi.

A guarantee promising to transfer 200 billion yen within 24 hours, and a "statement of the situation" detailing how Kentaro Mitsui used Yamaguchi-gumi territory without the Yamaguchi-gumi's knowledge.

“President Xu, Shinoda Kenichi has learned his lesson this time,” Lin Wanzhou said, unusually taking the initiative to speak.

Xu Yun smiled without turning around and said, "Only smart people live long. If he had been this smart last time, he wouldn't have had so much trouble."

Just then, the doorbell rang for the suite.

Lin Wanzhou glanced at the monitor screen, then turned around and said, "They've arrived."

"Let them in."

The door opened.

The first to enter were two high-ranking members of the Yamaguchi-gumi: Yamamoto and another junior member named Sato.

The two bowed deeply as soon as they entered the door, almost bending their backs.

"Mr. Xu, Ms. Su has been safely delivered. We once again express our sincerest apologies for this incident."

Yamamoto's voice was respectful to the point of being obsequious, a stark contrast to his sullen and angry demeanor in the conference room just hours earlier.

Xu Yun turned around, his gaze passing over the two people and looking towards the door.

Su Qingya and Su Qingyun stood there.

Both of them were wearing the business attire they had worn three days ago, but now their clothes were wrinkled and their faces showed obvious signs of fatigue.

Even so, it cannot conceal their outstanding looks and temperament.

Su Qingya's calmness and restraint, and Su Qingyun's liveliness and vivacity, are like a pair of meticulously crafted works of art.

At this moment, however, both works of art are filled with complex emotions.

There was relief at surviving the ordeal, excitement at seeing Xu Yun, and a touch of indescribable...grievance.

"Xu Yun..." Su Qingyun called softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Xu Yun nodded to Yamamoto: "The person has been delivered, you can leave now."

"Yes Yes."

Yamamoto felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly bowed again, saying, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Xu and the two young ladies' rest any longer."

Please feel free to contact us if you require anything further.

The two walked backward out of the suite and gently closed the door.

Lin Wanzhou tactfully stood up: "President Xu, I'll go arrange tomorrow's itinerary."

With that, he left the suite.

Now, only three people remain in the room.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Su Qingya stood there, her hand tightly gripping the strap of her handbag, her knuckles turning slightly white.

She looked at Xu Yun, wanting to say something, but found her throat tightening.

Su Qingyun made the first move.

She took two steps forward, then stopped, her eyes suddenly reddening.

“Xu Yun…we…”

Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "We almost..."

Before she could finish speaking, tears began to fall.

The next second, she practically lunged forward, crashing into Xu Yun's arms and wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

She buried her face in his chest, and all the fear, grievances, and helplessness she had suppressed all day burst forth at that moment.

"Waaah...they locked us up...they took our phones...there are guards outside...I'm so scared..."

She was crying so hard she could barely breathe, completely unlike her usual shrewd and capable businesswoman self.

Xu Yun looked down at the woman in his arms, his gaze softening.

He gently patted her back with one hand and stroked her hair with the other, saying in a gentle voice, "It's alright, it's all over now, that's why I'm here."

Su Qingyun cried even harder.

Su Qingya stood not far away, watching this scene.

Her eyes reddened, but she held back, biting her lower lip tightly and clenching her fingers even tighter.

She envied her younger sister for being able to throw herself into Xu Yun's arms without any restraint and for being able to cry so freely.

But she can't.

She is the older sister, the current president of Dingsheng Group, and Su Qingya, who must always remain calm and dignified.

But... she was scared too.

During the more than twenty hours she was locked in the basement, she thought about the worst possible scenario countless times.

Every time she heard footsteps outside the door, her heart would leap into her throat.

Every time Mitsui sent someone to "remind" her, she felt her composure crumbling little by little.

If she hadn't firmly believed that Xu Yun would come, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer.

"Refined and elegant".

Xu Yun's voice suddenly rang out.

Su Qingya looked up and found Xu Yun looking at her with gentle eyes and a hint of heartache.

“Come here,” he said.

Su Qingya was stunned for a moment.

"come over."

Xu Yun repeated, her voice even softer, and chuckled, "You were scared too, weren't you?"

Just one sentence caused Su Qingya's carefully constructed psychological defenses to collapse instantly.

Tears streamed down her face as she walked step by step to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun reached out his free hand and gently pulled her into his arms.

Now, he is holding two women in his arms.

One was crying loudly, while the other was silently shedding tears.

Two powerful women who usually dominate the business world of Jiangcheng have now become little girls who need comforting.

"I'm sorry I'm late," Xu Yun said softly.

"It's not too late..."

Su Qingya's voice, muffled on his shoulder and trembling with tears, said, "It's good that you're here... really... it's good that you're here..."

The three of them stood in the living room of the suite, embracing each other for a long time.

Su Qingyun's crying gradually subsided, turning into intermittent sobs.

As time passed, Su Qingya's emotions gradually calmed down, and she began to feel the warmth and strength of the embrace.

After a while, the Tokyo Bay night view outside the window changed lights again.

Finally, Su Qingyun lifted her head from Xu Yun's arms. Her eyes were swollen and red like walnuts, and her nose was also red. She looked both pitiful and cute.

"I...I got your shirt wet..." she said apologetically, looking at the dark water stain on Xu Yun's chest.

Xu Yun smiled, let go of them, and pulled out a few tissues from the coffee table and handed them over.

"It's okay, it's just a shirt."

"Go wash your faces first. I'll have someone bring up some food. You haven't had a proper meal all day, have you?"

Only after he reminded them did the two sisters realize they were hungry.

Since they were taken to the club yesterday afternoon, Mitsui did not treat them poorly in terms of food, but in that kind of environment, who would be in the mood to eat?

Neither of them touched the food that was delivered.

"I want to eat ramen..." Su Qingyun said softly.

"I'd like some hot soup," Su Qingya said.

Xu Yun nodded, picked up the room phone, and dialed the hotel restaurant.

"Bring up a late-night snack for three people: a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, a bowl of miso soup with rice, and a few light side dishes."

Oh, and please also send a bottle of sake.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the two sisters and said, "Go wash your faces, you don't look well."

Su Qingyun subconsciously touched her face, then suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! My makeup must be ruined! I look awful!"

He then rushed into the bathroom.

Su Qingya was relatively calmer, but she followed along.

The sound of the two sisters whispering and running water came from the bathroom. Xu Yun walked to the sofa and sat down. The gentleness on her face gradually faded, and her eyes became deep again.

Kentaro Mitsui...

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Lao Chen, saying, "Check Mitsui's schedule for tomorrow."

A few seconds later, the reply came.

"He will hold a board meeting at the Mitsui & Co. headquarters at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

At 2 PM, I had an appointment with an official from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for tea.

There will be a charity gala dinner at the Imperial Hotel at 7 p.m.

Xu Yun looked at the screen, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

A board meeting?
Meeting with officials?
Attending a dinner party?

It seems that this Mitsui vice president has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

The bathroom door opened.

The two sisters came out, both having washed their faces and showing their bare faces.

Although her eyes were still a little red and swollen, they had regained some of their usual sparkle.

Su Qingyun's hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, while Su Qingya simply tied her hair into a low ponytail with a hair tie.

Both of them changed into bathrobes provided by the hotel.

Their own luggage is still at the original hotel and they will have to retrieve it tomorrow.

"Sit down and rest for a while, the food will be here soon." Xu Yun pointed to the sofa next to him.

The two sisters sat down opposite him and remained silent for a moment.

Having just vented my emotions, I've calmed down and now I don't know what to say.

Finally, Su Qingya spoke first: "Xu Yun, this time... thank you. If it weren't for you, we might..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xu Yun shook his head and laughed, "You are my women. If I don't come to your rescue when something happens, who will?"

These words were spoken so naturally that both Su Qingya and Su Qingyun were taken aback. "Your woman..."

Although they were all aware of their relationship with Xu Yun, this was the first time they had said it so directly.

Su Qingyun's face flushed slightly as she lowered her head and played with the sash of her bathrobe.

Su Qingya gave Xu Yun a deep look and said softly, "But this matter may be more complicated than we imagine."

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is a long-established and very powerful conglomerate in Japan. You've offended them for our sake..."

"offend?"

Xu Yun laughed, a hint of disdain in his smile, and said, "Qingya, you've got one thing wrong."

He leaned forward, his hands crossed on his knees, his eyes calm yet exuding a powerful confidence.

"It's not that I offended them, it's that they offended me and kidnapped my woman."

Such actions must come with a price to pay.

"..."

Su Qingya was stunned by his imposing presence.

That unquestionable assertiveness and unquestionable confidence made her feel another side of Xu Yun so clearly for the first time.

He was not the gentle and refined entrepreneur in Jiangcheng, but a powerful figure with absolute strength and will...

"But……"

She was still somewhat worried, saying, "Mitsui is, after all, a major conglomerate in Japan, and they have deep connections in both the political and business worlds."

If you really break off all pretense of civility...

"Then let's tear off the mask."

Xu Yun interrupted her, saying calmly, "Qingya, you need to understand one thing: in this world, there are some people he cannot touch."

If you touch it, be prepared for your family to be destroyed.

He spoke softly, but every word was as cold as an icicle.

Su Qingya suddenly remembered something: "The Yamaguchi-gumi people just now... why were they so afraid of you?"

Also, how did you get the Yamaguchi-gumi to release them?

This was her biggest question.

She knew exactly what kind of organization the Yamaguchi-gumi was.

Japan's largest designated yakuza group, with tens of thousands of members and influence throughout the country.

Such a behemoth was actually so respectful to Xu Yun.

It could even be described as...fear.

Xu Yun leaned back on the sofa and said casually, "It's nothing. I just talked with their team leader when I came to Japan last time and we reached some consensus."

They were in the wrong this time, so naturally they had to back down.

"You chatted?"

Su Qingyun opened her eyes wide with curiosity and asked in confusion, "How did they talk?"

Xu Yun glanced at her and smiled: "Children shouldn't ask so many questions."

"I'm not a child!" Su Qingyun muttered defiantly.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

The late-night snack has arrived.

A waitress in a kimono pushed in a food cart and placed the food items on the table one by one.

Steaming hot tonkotsu ramen, fragrant miso soup, several delicate side dishes, a bottle of chilled sake, and three small cups.

After setting the table, the waiter bowed respectfully and left.

"Let's eat first."

Xu Yun got up and walked to the dining table, saying, "Let's eat and chat."

The two sisters were indeed hungry, and their stomachs rumbled as soon as they smelled the aroma of food.

The three sat around the dining table, and Xu Yun poured each of them a glass of sake.

"To calm my nerves," he said, raising his glass.

The two sisters also raised their glasses, and the three glasses gently clinked together.

The warm sake, with its subtle rice aroma and a hint of spiciness, finally relaxed my tense nerves.

Su Qingyun eagerly picked up a mouthful of ramen with her chopsticks, blew on it, and put it in her mouth. Then she squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "So delicious... I feel like I've come back to life..."

Su Qingya sipped the miso soup, and the hot soup warmed her whole body.

Xu Yun watched them eat, her eyes softening.

After they had almost finished eating, he finally asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Why would Mitsui suddenly change his mind and resort to such methods?

Su Qingya put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and her expression became serious again.

"We are here today to discuss a cooperative project on new energy batteries."

Dingsheng has made a new technological breakthrough in lithium battery anode materials, with an energy density 15% higher than existing mainstream products and a cost reduction of 8%.

Mitsui was interested in this technology and wanted exclusive distribution rights.

"The initial negotiations went very smoothly. The price, profit sharing, and market division were all agreed upon, and we are just waiting to sign the contract."

But the night before the signing, Mitsui suddenly demanded amendments to the contract.

She paused, her voice filled with anger: "They not only want to increase the revenue sharing ratio from the original 30/70 to 50/50, but also demand that we share core technology parameters and transfer part of the patent ownership in Japan to them."

“That’s impossible,” Xu Yun said immediately.

"Of course not."

Su Qingya nodded and replied, "So we refused."

Mitsui didn't say anything at the time, only that we should think about it some more.

The next day, which was yesterday afternoon, he sent someone to say that he had arranged 'special hospitality' and invited us to continue our talks at a private club.

Although we found it a bit strange, we thought that since it was a formal negotiation and the other party was a large company, they probably wouldn't do anything reckless..."

She gave a wry smile: "As soon as I arrived at the club, I was taken to the basement, my phone was taken away, and there were people guarding the door."

Mitsui came twice, his words filled with threats, saying that if we didn't sign, we shouldn't even think about leaving Japan.

Su Qingyun picked up the conversation, saying angrily, "What's most infuriating is that he also said that this is Japan, not China, and that we shouldn't expect anyone to come to our rescue."

"Hmph! If he knew how powerful you are, Xu Yun, he definitely wouldn't dare say such a thing!"

Xu Yun's eyes turned cold.

"Sharing core technologies... patent ownership... he certainly dares to dream of that."

This is no longer a normal business negotiation; this is outright robbery.

"Did you bring the project documents?" he asked.

Su Qingya nodded and said, "The complete information is on the computer at the original hotel. We originally planned to return to China after signing the contract."

"I'll pick it up tomorrow."

Xu Yun said, "We will not be cooperating with Mitsui on this project."

"But……"

Su Qingya hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mitsui's distribution channels in Japan are indeed the best. If we switch to another company, it might affect market expansion..."

"Then let's try a different market."

Xu Yun said calmly, "If Japan doesn't work, then go to South Korea, Europe, America, or Russia."

The world is vast; it doesn't need another Japanese market.

He looked at Su Qingya with a serious expression and said, "Qingya, you must remember, if the technology is in your hands, you have the initiative."

Don't bow down to robbers for the sake of so-called 'channels'.

If you back down one step today, he'll demand you back ten steps tomorrow.

Su Qingya fell silent.

She knew Xu Yun was right.

If Xu Yun hadn't arrived in time, she and her sister might have been forced to sign that humiliating contract.

At that time, the fruits of years of research and development will simply benefit the Japanese.

"I understand."

She took a deep breath and said, "After I get back, I will reassess our partners. As for the Japanese market... I'll give up on it for now."

"It's not about giving up, it's about entering the market in a different way."

Xu Yun corrected him, "Once I've dealt with the Mitsui matter, people in Japan will naturally be begging to cooperate with you."

Su Qingya was taken aback: "Finished? What do you plan to do with it?"

Xu Yun took a sip of sake and smiled slightly: "You don't need to worry about that. You all have a good rest tomorrow, and I'll take you to the airport the day after tomorrow."

In Jiangcheng, Jian Shiwei will arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport.

"how about you?"

Su Qingyun hurriedly asked, "Aren't you coming back with us?"

"I have some things to take care of."

Xu Yun replied, "I'll go back once I'm done."

"Is it because of Mitsui?" Su Qingya asked sharply.

Xu Yun did not deny it: "He has to know that there are some lines that cannot be crossed."

The two sisters exchanged a glance and saw worry in each other's eyes.

But they also knew that once Xu Yun made a decision, no one could change it.

"Then... be careful," Su Qingya said softly.

"rest assured."

Xu Yun put down his wine glass and laughed, "One Mitsui can't cause any trouble."

After finishing dinner, it was almost 1 a.m.

Both sisters looked exhausted.

After a day and a night of tension, I relaxed and immediately felt sleepy.

Go to sleep.

Xu Yun said, "The master bedroom is for you, I'll sleep in the guest room."

The suite has two bedrooms; the master bedroom is very large, while the guest bedroom is relatively smaller.

It's not that Xu Yun suddenly became a gentleman and refused to eat the meat that was already in his mouth.

The two sisters had just been rescued and were probably too exhausted to exercise.

They're all his women now, so he doesn't care about this once or twice; there'll be plenty of time in the future.

Su Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I...I'm a little scared...Could you..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Having experienced imprisonment, she was afraid to sleep alone.

Even when I'm with my sister.

Su Qingya actually felt the same way, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

Xu Yun looked at them and understood.

"Okay then, the bed in the master bedroom is very big, you can sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the sofa."

He pointed to the sofa in the master bedroom and said, "Is this alright now?"

Su Qingyun nodded immediately, her eyes lighting up: "Mm!"

Su Qingya also breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them went into the master bedroom.

The room was indeed very large, with a two-meter-wide bed, a sofa, and a small desk next to it.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the night view of Tokyo Tower, its lights twinkling quietly in the darkness.

After washing up and changing into clean pajamas, also provided by the hotel, the two sisters lay down on the bed.

Xu Yun then took pillows and blankets from the guest room and spread them out on the sofa.

Turn off the lights.

The room was plunged into darkness, with only a faint light coming in from outside the window.

After a few minutes of silence, Su Qingyun suddenly said softly, "Xu Yun, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"Thank you for today."

Her voice was soft but earnest as she said, "If it weren't for you, my sister and I might really... really..."

Don't overthink it.

Xu Yun replied from the darkness, "It's all in the past. Get some sleep."

"Ah."

It was quiet for a while.

This time, it was Su Qingya who spoke: "Xu Yun."

"Ok?"

"Don't you really want to come to bed?"

Xu Yun laughed and said, "I'd like to, but if I come, you won't be able to sleep tonight, and I won't be able to sleep either."

"We couldn't sleep either."

Su Qingyun replied meaningfully, "It's better to exercise so you can sleep more soundly."

"Then... let's do it."

Xu Yun had no choice but to smile and get up to walk towards the bed. (End of Chapter)
