The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

Morning light streamed softly through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury hotel's penthouse suite, gently illuminating the disheveled bed.

When Xu Yun opened her eyes, it was already past nine in the morning.

He turned his head and looked at Su Qingya and Su Qingyun, who were still fast asleep beside him.

The two sisters nestled on either side of him, their hair scattered on the pillow, their breathing even and deep.

Su Qingya's sleeping posture was relatively proper, with one hand gently resting on Xu Yun's chest.

Su Qingyun practically curled up in his arms, her legs straddling his waist in a domineering manner.

The sheet slipped down to their waists, revealing the sisters' smooth shoulders and backs and beautiful curves.

The morning light cast a soft golden glow on their fair skin, creating a scene that was both alluring and serene.

Xu Yun did not get up immediately, but quietly watched them for a while.

Last night's madness is still fresh in my mind.

Perhaps it was the joy of surviving a disaster, or perhaps it was the need to release long-suppressed emotions, but the two sisters were unusually proactive and enthusiastic.

From the bathroom to the bed, from the sofa to the carpet, the entire suite was practically turned into a battlefield.

Su Qingyun's boldness and unrestrainedness, and Su Qingya's seemingly restrained but actually deeper passion, intertwine these two completely different styles, leaving Xu Yun somewhat overwhelmed.

Around three or four in the morning, the three of them, exhausted, fell asleep in each other's arms.

Now, looking at their peaceful faces as they sleep, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile.

He gently moved Su Qingyun's legs away and carefully removed Su Qingya's arms, his movements as gentle as if he were handling fragile porcelain.

The two sisters merely frowned slightly, mumbled a few words in their sleep, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Xu Yun got out of bed, walked barefoot to the French windows, picked up her phone and looked at it; there were several unread messages.

Lin Wanzhou sent a message: "I've already made arrangements with Lao Chen, and we can meet anytime."

There's also Haruka Ayase.

The woman knew she had arrived.

"Xu-san, are you coming over today? I bought your favorite matcha sweets~ (＾▽＾)"

Xu Yun smiled and replied to Lin Wanzhou first.

"See you in the lobby in an hour."

Then he replied to Ayase Haruka: "I'll come see you this afternoon."

He put down his phone and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Hot water washes away fatigue and makes thoughts clearer.

I have two things to do today.

First, I'll meet with Lao Chen to learn about the industry situation in Tokyo, then I'll go to Sony and visit Ayase Haruka while I'm at it.

I'll go find Kentaro Mitsui again tomorrow for a "good chat".

The two sisters were still asleep when they came out of the bathroom.

Xu Yun didn't wake them. After getting dressed, she left a note on the bedside table: "I'm going to take care of some business. You all get some rest. —Xu Yun"

He gently closed the door and left the suite.

An hour later, in the hotel lobby.

Lin Wanzhou was already waiting there. Upon seeing Xu Yun, she immediately greeted him: "Didn't sleep again last night?"

"None of your business," Xu Yun retorted with a smile. "Why don't you just stay out of my sights today and experience the Japanese culture on your own?"

"..."

Lin Wanzhou ignored him and said, "The car is ready."

"Where should we meet Old Chen?" Xu Yun asked as he walked out.

"It's a private club in Ginza, quite secluded."

The black Mercedes-Benz smoothly drove into the bustling streets of Tokyo.

Xu Yun leaned back in his chair, watching the street scene rushing past the window.

He always came and went in Tokyo, always with different things to deal with and different people to meet.

"How's Old Chen doing lately?" he asked casually.

"Mr. Chen's business in Tokyo is doing quite well."

Lin Wanzhou replied, "After you asked him to integrate resources last time, he is now a prominent figure in the Chinese community."

The underground casinos closed down, and they turned to legitimate import/export trade and real estate investment, which actually made them more profitable.

Xu Yun nodded.

Old Chen's real name is Chen Guohua. He came to Japan to work hard in his early years, starting as a dishwasher and gradually making a name for himself.

He used to do some shady business, but when Xu Yun came to Japan on business, he met him and gave him a few pointers, helping him to switch to legitimate business.

Old Chen was a shrewd man; he knew who he could follow to go further, and from then on, he became Xu Yun's eyes and ears and his helper in Japan.

The car stopped on a relatively quiet street in Ginza.

Before me stands a traditional Japanese building with an unassuming facade, bearing only a small wooden sign that reads "Seishin-tei".

Lin Wanzhou stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and a middle-aged woman in a kimono bowed respectfully: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

After passing through the quiet courtyard, we arrived at a tea room.

Old Chen was already waiting there. Upon seeing Xu Yun, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a sincere smile: "Mr. Xu, it's been a long time!"

"Old Chen, you look great," Xu Yun said with a smile, shaking his hand.

"Thanks to you, life is much more comfortable now."

Old Chen warmly invited Xu Yun to sit down, personally poured him tea, and said, "Your advice to switch to legitimate business last time was truly invaluable."

Although it was a bit difficult at first, now that things have gone smoothly, things are more stable than before, and I'm earning quite a bit.

Xu Yun picked up his teacup and took a sip: "That's good. I came here this time to learn about the industry situation in Tokyo."

Old Chen immediately said seriously, "I was just about to report to you that, according to your previous arrangements, I have mainly done three things here."

First, import and export trade, especially electronic products and high-end consumer goods between China and Japan;
Second, real estate investment, mainly concentrated in the port area and Roppongi.

Thirdly…

He paused, then lowered his voice: "With the establishment of some information channels, I can now get first-hand information from several major financial groups and political circles in Tokyo."

Xu Yun nodded in satisfaction: "Well done. How much do you know about Mitsui & Co., Ltd."

Upon hearing the name "Mitsui," Old Chen's expression turned serious.

"Mitsui is a long-established conglomerate with deep roots, but in recent years it has encountered some internal problems."

Especially Mitsui Kentaro's faction, they are very ambitious and ruthless.

His father, Ryuichi Mitsui, is the current president, but his health is poor, and actual power has gradually shifted to Kentaro Mitsui.

"He dared to touch my people this time, what is he relying on?" Xu Yun asked.

Old Chen thought for a moment: "Mitsui Kentaro has recently gotten in touch with a powerful official in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and it seems he also has some connections with the Ministry of Defense."

He probably felt that with these connections, even if he messed with Chinese businessmen, there wouldn't be any major problems.

After all... cross-border disputes often end without resolution.

Xu Yun sneered: "He's miscalculated."

"What does Mr. Xu plan to do?"

Old Chen tentatively asked, "Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"There's no rush yet."

Xu Yun waved his hand and said, "I'm going to Sony this afternoon, and I have an appointment with Mitsui tonight."

Please prepare a financial report for Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the most recent three years, the more detailed the better.

Also, check Kentaro Mitsui's personal assets, including those overseas.

Old Chen immediately nodded and said, "Understood, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away."

The two chatted for a while about the situation in Tokyo's business world, and Xu Yun gained a clearer understanding of the situation there.

More than an hour later, he got up to say goodbye.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, what you requested will definitely be delivered to you before tonight," Old Chen solemnly promised as he saw him to the door.

"You've worked hard." Xu Yun patted his shoulder.

After leaving Qingxin Pavilion, Xu Yun checked the time and said to Lin Wanzhou, "Let's go to Sony headquarters."

Sony headquarters building, design department.

Haruka Ayase was sitting in her private office, revising a design on her computer.

Since Xu Yun spoke up for her last time, her status in the company has undergone a dramatic change.

He went from being an ordinary designer to a key talent for development.

She not only had her own office, but also became the Japanese agent for Xu Yun and Lin Zhengyu's cooperation with Sony.

He also serves as the chief designer for the entire collaborative project.

Her salary tripled, her authority was greatly increased, and even the design director, Sato, spoke to her with great respect.

All these changes originated from that man.

Thinking of this, Haruka Ayase's face flushed slightly.

She put down her electronic pen and picked up her phone to take a look.

Xu Yun said he would come in the afternoon, but did not specify a time.

She was both excited and a little nervous. She got up and went to the mirror to fix her hair and makeup.

Today she specially wore a newly bought light blue dress, which made her skin look even whiter.

Her hair was styled into a smooth, flowing style, and she wore light makeup that was neither too deliberate nor too overt, yet still highlighted her pure and innocent charm.

Just as I was wondering whether I should touch up my lipstick, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in." Ayase Haruka quickly sat back down, adopting a serious work posture.

The door opened, but instead of Xu Yun, whom she had been expecting, it was Sato, the design director, who walked in.

"Ayase, are you busy?" Sato asked with a gentle smile.

"Director Sato, hello."

Haruka Ayase quickly stood up and said with a smile, "No rush, I'm revising the third draft of the character designs for 'Journey to the Illusion'."

"Sit down and talk."

Sato sat down opposite her, looked at the design on her computer, nodded approvingly, and smiled, "You've made great progress. Mr. Xu was right last time, your paintings are indeed very inspired."

Upon hearing Xu Yun's name, Ayase Haruka's heart skipped a beat.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director. I still have a lot to learn."

"Humility is a good thing, but confidence is also important."

Sato said with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Xu will be coming to the company this afternoon to discuss the specific details of the cooperation with Vice President Tanaka."

He specifically mentioned wanting to meet you.

"R-Really?" Ayase Haruka's eyes lit up.

"of course."

Sato looked at her meaningfully and said, "Ayase, you're very lucky."

Mr. Xu is someone not everyone can meet. Make the most of this opportunity; it will greatly benefit your future development.

The implication was obvious, and Ayase Haruka blushed even more, replying, "I understand, thank you for reminding me, Director."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. Get ready." Sato got up and left.

After the door closed, Ayase Haruka covered her burning cheeks and took several deep breaths to calm down.

She sat back down at the computer, only to find that she couldn't concentrate at all; her mind was filled with images of Xu Yun.

The two have kept in touch since he left Japan last time.

Xu Yun would occasionally send her messages to ask about her recent situation, and would also send her some Chinese specialties and small gifts.

Although they were separated by the sea, Ayase Haruka could sense that the man had not forgotten her.

Moreover, he said she was his woman.

Although I don't know how much I mean to him, at least... he acknowledges the relationship.

This is enough.

Just as I was lost in thought, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Xu Yun: "I'm downstairs."

Haruka Ayase practically jumped up. She grabbed her handbag, gave her makeup one last check in the mirror, and then strode out of the office.

As the elevator descended to the first floor and the doors opened, she immediately spotted Xu Yun standing in the lobby.

He was wearing a custom-made dark gray suit today; he was tall and had an outstanding presence.

Even standing in the bustling lobby, he stood out conspicuously. Lin Wanzhou stood half a step behind him, holding a file folder in her hand.

"Xu-san!" Ayase Haruka ran over, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

Xu Yun turned around, a smile flashing in his eyes when he saw her: "Slow down, don't fall." Ayase Haruka stopped in front of him, looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "You've come."

"Yes, it's here."

Xu Yun naturally reached out and patted her head, smiling, "Have you been waiting long?"

"No, no, I just came down."

Ayase Haruka quickly said, then looked at Lin Wanzhou and nodded politely, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Wanzhou nodded slightly: "Miss Ayase."

"I'm going to see Tanaka first, it'll take about an hour. Are you waiting for me in your office, or are you coming up with me?" Xu Yun asked.

Ayase Haruka thought for a moment and said, "I'll go up with you. I happen to have some design questions I'd like to ask Vice President Tanaka."

"Let's go then."

The three of them took a private elevator to the high-rise conference room.

Kenichi Tanaka was already waiting there. Upon seeing Xu Yun, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Mr. Xu, welcome back again!"

"Mr. Tanaka, it's been a long time." Xu Yun shook hands with him.

"Ayase is here too."

When Tanaka saw Ayase Haruka, his smile became even more gentle, and he said, "I heard that you have performed exceptionally well on the project, and Director Sato has been praising you highly."

Ayase Haruka bowed and said, "Thank you for the praise, Vice President. I will continue to work hard."

The meeting officially began, with the main discussion focusing on the details of the collaboration between Xu Yun, Lin Zhengyu, and Sony in the fields of games and animation.

Xu Yun listened most of the time, occasionally offering his opinion on key issues.

His fluent Japanese surprised the Japanese executives present, and his understanding of the industry was also extremely profound.

Ayase Haruka sat next to Xu Yun, taking notes diligently.

Although she didn't quite understand some of the technical terms, she could sense that Xu Yun's aura at the negotiating table was completely different.

Calm, sharp, and every word he uttered went straight to the heart of the matter.

An hour later, the main details were basically finalized.

"Then, we will prepare the specific contract text within a week and send it to your email address," Tanaka concluded.

“Okay, I look forward to a long-term partnership with Sony,” Xu Yun said with a smile.

After the meeting, Tanaka wanted to invite Xu Yun to lunch, but Xu Yun declined, saying, "I have some personal matters to attend to today, maybe next time."

"I understand." Tanaka didn't insist and personally escorted them to the elevator.

After the elevator doors closed, Tanaka turned to his assistant and said, "Notify the design department to raise Ayase Haruka's salary by one level."

In addition, she will try her best to coordinate her work schedule for the next six months with Mr. Xu's.

"Yes." The assistant immediately took notes.

After leaving Sony headquarters, Xu Yun said to Lin Wanzhou, "You go back to the hotel first, Ayase and I will go for a walk."

Lin Wanzhou understood: "Okay, the car is yours."

After Lin Wanzhou left, Ayase Haruka asked softly, "Xu-san, where are we going today?"

"Where do you want to go?" Xu Yun asked her in return.

Ayase Haruka thought for a moment: "I want to go to Omotesando... I heard that some really nice new shops have opened there."

"Then let's go to Omotesando."

The two took a taxi to Omotesando.

This is a famous fashion district in Tokyo, with beech trees lining both sides of the road and various boutiques, cafes and galleries.

Ayase Haruka looked very happy, chirping like a little bird next to Xu Yun: "The matcha ice cream at that shop is especially delicious!"

"Wow, the clothes in that clothing store are so pretty!"

"Look, Mr. Xu, that shop window design is so creative!"

Xu Yun patiently stayed with her, and if she took a second look at something she liked, he would have the shop assistant wrap it up.

Clothes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics...

In less than two hours, the bodyguards Lin Wanzhou had arranged to follow behind her were already carrying shopping bags full.

"Xu Sang, that's enough!"

Ayase Haruka said somewhat embarrassedly, "I bought too much..."

"Buy it if you like it."

Xu Yun said nonchalantly, "I rarely come here, so as long as you're happy."

As they passed a jewelry store, Xu Yun stopped and pulled Ayase Haruka inside.

"Welcome!" the shop assistant greeted us warmly.

Xu Yun walked directly to the counter and pointed to a necklace: "Take this out and let me see."

It was a simple diamond necklace with a small but exquisitely cut main diamond surrounded by a ring of tiny pink diamonds that shimmered gently under the light.

“Xu-san, this is too precious…” Ayase Haruka whispered.

Xu Yun ignored him and told the shop assistant directly, "Wrap it up."

"and many more!"

Ayase Haruka grabbed his arm, her face flushed, and said, "If... if you really want to give it to me, could you... help me put it on yourself?"

Xu Yun glanced at her and smiled: "Okay."

He picked up the necklace and moved behind Ayase Haruka.

She lowered her head slightly, feeling his fingers gently brush across the back of her neck as he fastened the necklace.

The cool diamond pressed against her collarbone, carrying his body heat.

"Turn around so I can see," Xu Yun said.

Ayase Haruka turned around and looked up at him.

The necklace sparkled on her fair neck, making her look even more beautiful.

"It's very beautiful," Xu Yun commented, though it was unclear whether she was referring to the necklace or to her.

Ayase Haruka's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "Thank you, Xu-san..."

It was getting late when we left the jewelry store.

Xu Yun checked the time and asked Ayase Haruka, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I...I want to go home and cook for Xu Sang."

Haruka Ayase mustered her courage and said, "I've recently learned a few Chinese dishes and I'd like you to try them."

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You can cook Chinese food now?"

"Hmm! Although it might not be entirely authentic..."

Ayase Haruka said somewhat shyly, "But I really studied hard."

"Let's go, to your house."

Ayase Haruka's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? That's great!"

The two returned to Ayase Haruka's apartment, which was still the same cozy little house, but with some new furniture and appliances.

A large display cabinet has been added to the living room, filled with various art books and trophies.

"These are all the awards I've received in the past six months."

Haruka Ayase proudly introduced, "I have a gold medal from the Tokyo Illustration Contest and a silver medal from the National Anime Design Contest..."

"Very impressive," Xu Yun said sincerely.

Upon receiving his praise, Ayase Haruka was as happy as a child: "Xu-san, please sit down first, I'll go cook!"

She tied on an apron and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Xu Yun leaned against the kitchen doorway, watching her chop vegetables. Although her movements weren't very skillful, she was very focused.

When seasoning, she will taste it first, frowning as she thinks about what else to add; if she gets splashed with oil while stir-frying, she will gasp softly and jump away...

Clumsy, but sincere.

An hour later, three dishes and a soup were served on the table.

Mapo tofu, shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a pot of seaweed and egg drop soup.

Although it doesn't look particularly appealing, it has a wonderful aroma.

"Try it!" Ayase Haruka looked at Xu Yun expectantly.

Xu Yun tasted each one and nodded, saying, "Not bad, it has that flavor."

"really?"

Ayase Haruka was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll cook this for you every time Xu-san comes to Japan!"

After finishing their meal, Ayase Haruka cleared away the dishes, and Xu Yun went to the balcony to light a cigarette.

Tokyo is ablaze with lights at night, and the lights of Tokyo Tower in the distance come on right on time, outlining an elegant silhouette against the night sky.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Su Qingya.

"We're awake. When are you coming back?"

Xu Yun replied, "I won't be going back tonight. You guys get some rest. I have something to do."

A moment later, Su Qingya replied, "Okay, be careful."

A few seconds later, Su Qingyun also sent a message: "Hmph, he must have gone to find that Japanese woman!"
But... I forgive you. Thank you for yesterday, see you tomorrow!

Xu Yun smiled and put away his phone.

At that moment, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist from behind.

Ayase Haruka pressed her face against his back and whispered, "Shou-san... are you staying tonight?"

"What do you think?" Xu Yun turned around and pulled her into his arms.

Ayase Haruka looked up at him, her eyes filled with adoration and expectation: "I want you to stay..."

Xu Yun lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Ayase Haruka responded awkwardly, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands until they were both panting, at which point Xu Yun finally let go of her.

"Go take a shower first?" he whispered in her ear.

Ayase Haruka nodded, blushing, "Mmm..."

Tokyo is hot? Tokyo is indeed very hot!

That night, Haruka Ayase played even more freely and enthusiastically than last time.

She expressed her longing and love for this man in her own clumsy yet sincere way.

Outside the window, Tokyo's night view remains dazzling.

Inside the window, the room was bathed in the warmth of spring.

The next morning, when Xu Yun woke up, Ayase Haruka was no longer in bed.

The aroma of fried eggs and the sound of humming drifted from the kitchen.

He got up and went to the kitchen, where he saw Ayase Haruka wearing an apron and making breakfast.

Sunlight streamed through the window and bathed her in a warm glow.

Good morning, Xu Sang.

Ayase Haruka turned around and saw him, giving him a sweet smile, and said, "Breakfast will be ready soon, you can go wash up first."

"Why are you up so early today?" Xu Yun walked over and hugged her from behind.

I wanted to make you breakfast.

Ayase Haruka leaned against him and said, "And...aren't you leaving today?"

"Yes, my flight is this afternoon."

Ayase Haruka paused for a moment, but quickly resumed her normal movements: "Well... make sure you finish your breakfast properly."

Breakfast was plentiful: fried eggs, bacon, salad, miso soup, and freshly baked bread.

The two sat facing each other at the table, eating quietly.

"When will Xu-san come to Japan next?" Ayase Haruka asked softly.

"Uncertain, but it shouldn't be too long."

Xu Yun looked at her and said, "You can come to China too. Isn't there a training program? If you miss me, come find me."

"But……"

Thinking about Xu Yun's woman in China, Ayase Haruka asked somewhat nervously, "Won't I disturb your life?"

"No, they are all very nice and should like you."

"really?"

Upon hearing this, Ayase Haruka happily replied, "I understand now. I'll definitely come to China to see you as soon as I have time." (End of Chapter)
