In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 239 Home is even more lively

As night fell, Tokyo sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a hazy glow over the room.

Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian sat on the sofa, looking somewhat downcast, their fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of their clothes.

As Ji Yu packed his luggage, he caught a glimpse of the two girls looking dejected out of the corner of his eye. A slight smile played on his lips as he deliberately teased them.

"What, you're reluctant to part with me? If I leave, no one will care about you, and you'll be able to do whatever you want again."

"certainly not!"

Shu Chang immediately looked up to retort, but her voice softened a bit, "It's just... with you leaving, the crew has disbanded, and Tokyo is suddenly so boring."

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and asked softly, "When will you come to Japan next time?"

Ji Yu put down the documents in his hand, walked up to them, and ruffled their hair:
"Alright, stop this nonsense. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two immigrated to Japan! Don't forget your mission!"

He pulled a sheet of music from his bag and handed it to them: "Practice this song as soon as possible."

I plan to use it in the end credits of Initial D. If it's effective enough, I'll help you release a record when you return to China.

Shu Chang's eyes lit up, and he snatched the sheet music: "Really?! You want us to sing?"

Liu Qianqian also came over, staring at the melody and lyrics on the sheet music, both excited and apprehensive: "But...we haven't had any professional singing training, will we hold them back?"

Shu Chang suddenly realized that it was the ending theme song of Initial D!
The movie is so popular, what if I don't sing well and it affects the movie's reputation?
What if the box office is bad?
Looking at the sheet music in her hand, she realized she had acted a bit impulsively.

She tried to quietly put it back on the table, but Ji Yu glared at her.

"Now you realize you're under pressure? When you were having so much fun before, why didn't you think about what you were really here to do in Japan?"

Shu Chang stuck out his tongue. Wasn't he supposed to be taking Qianqian on a trip to relax and get her out of her troubles?

Looking at the sheet music, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but clench her fists and look at Shu Chang, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Shu Chang couldn't help but laugh, and grabbed her hand, pumping his fist with high spirits.

"Brother Ji Yu, don't worry! We'll definitely practice until we're perfect, right, Qianqian?"

Liu Qianqian nodded vigorously, her eyes resolute: "Yes! I won't let you down."

Ji Yu smiled with satisfaction as he watched their fighting spirit ignite.

"Alright, I'll wait for your good news. Don't slack off, I'll have Huo Wenxi keep an eye on you."

The two said in unison, "We know!"

Ji Yu couldn't help but laugh and exchanged a glance with Huo Wenxi.

Young girls are so easy to fool.

If you don't put any pressure on them, they probably won't behave like trainees.

Afternoon, airport.

Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian escorted Ji Yu and Huo Wenxi all the way to the boarding gate.

Before parting, Ji Yu glanced back at them and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Remember, if you don't practice your singing well, don't even think about coming back to see me."

Shu Chang smiled and gave an OK sign.

"Just you wait and see, you'll be in for a surprise!"

Liu Qianqian waved gently, her eyes filled with a mixture of reluctance and determination: "Have a safe journey."

Ji Yu nodded, turned around, and walked into the passage.

As the plane took off, Shu Chang and Liu Qianqian stood in front of the airport's glass window until the plane disappeared into the clouds.

Shu Chang took a deep breath and gripped the sheet music tightly: "Let's go, Xixi! We need to hurry!"

Liu Qianqian smiled slightly, her gaze firm: "Yes, this time... I must make him look at me in a new light."

The roar of airplane engines gradually subsided over Shanghai.

A dozen minutes later, Ji Yu and Huo Wenxi headed towards the exit, and before they even got close, they could hear the noise outside.

"Damn it, our itinerary has been exposed?" Ji Yu looked at Huo Wenxi and said, "Let's go through the VIP channel."

Huo Wenxi shook his head and said, "No need. You're returning home with honors, you should be high-profile!"

Ji Yu thought about it and agreed, so he walked towards the exit with her.

He was stunned the moment he stepped out of the passage.

The area outside was packed with people, fans and reporters all crammed together, it was like a zombie apocalypse.

Airport security was going crazy, shouting frantically that Ji Yu wasn't going this way.

Unfortunately, the fans and reporters had already spotted Ji Yu and were all screaming, trying to rush over.

"This is more exaggerated than I imagined." Ji Yu rubbed his temples and turned to look at Huo Wenxi.

Huo Wenxi calmly said, "You'll feel bad when nobody pays attention to you anymore."

Ji Yu smiled wryly: "Saying that's useful is not as good as going through the VIP channel."

Huo Wenxi glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Going through the VIP area? How could that be fair to you?"

Ji Yu: "..." Am I that vain?!
As they stepped out of the passage, a wave of sound surged forth.

"Ji Yu! Ji Yu!"

"What are your thoughts on the victory at the Tokyo Grand Prix?!"

When will Initial D be released?!

"Ahhh, Ji Yu!! Ji Yu!!! The racing god!!"

"Look this way! Look this way!"

The fans at the scene screamed wildly, drowning out the reporters' voices.

Some were holding up signs for the Asian racing legend, others for the Asian superstar, and they were all screaming at the top of their lungs.

Even more popular than when Ji Yu finished acting in Meteor Garden!

Ji Yu smiled, nodded, and greeted them before quickly walking out.

A reporter in front of him deliberately rushed towards him to attract attention, "Ji Yu! Is it true that you and Huo Wenxi are having an affair? Some people say that you, Shu Chang, and Liu Qianqian and her daughter are also in a relationship."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yu turned and glared at him, about to go over and teach him a lesson, when Huo Wenxi stopped him.

Huo Wenxi gently shook his head, signaling him to calm down.

Ji Yu stared coldly at the name tag on the reporter's chest, snorted, and continued walking forward.

The reporter was startled by Ji Yu's gaze just now, and only after patting his chest did he realize what Ji Yu's gaze meant.

He was quickly overwhelmed by fans.

The reporters at the scene treated their microphones like spears, all trying to shove them into Ji Yu's face.

Behind them, a dense crowd of fans surged forward, and the order that the airport security was barely maintaining instantly crumbled.

The crowd surged forward like a tidal wave, pushing, screaming, and jostling. The scene briefly spiraled out of control.

"Be careful!! Don't push!" Ji Yu shouted several times, worried that something might happen, but it was no use.

The only thing I could do was try to move faster, but I was squeezed so tightly that I could hardly move an inch.

Huo Wenxi was almost swept away, but Ji Yu caught her just in time.

Just as the situation was about to get out of control, heavenly soldiers suddenly descended!
"Get out of the way! Red Star Security!"

A sharp shout rang out from behind the crowd, followed by a team of well-trained security personnel in black uniforms who quickly cut through the crowd.

The burly man at the head of the group grabbed Ji Yu and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ji, come with us!"

The security personnel wore wireless headsets, had red star badges on their uniforms, and tactical belts around their waists. They operated in tight formations, clearly indicating that they had undergone professional training.

Ji Yu was taken aback. He recognized them as people from Red Star Security, but they were different from the small team he remembered.

The team before him was well-equipped and moved with practiced efficiency, even more professional than airport security. Huo Wenxi had returned to his side sometime earlier, a slight smile playing on her lips: "How was it? Satisfied?"

As Ji Yu was being escorted out, he asked in a low voice, "When did you turn Red Star Security into this mess?"

Huo Wenxi chuckled: "They were trained at great expense."

Before Huo Wenxi went to Tokyo, he hired a professional security team from abroad at a high salary to serve as coaches and specially trained several professional high-level security teams.

Many ordinary security personnel are also recruited, and they can start working after simple training.

Surrounded by security personnel, Ji Yu couldn't help but say, "This is really great, I feel incredibly safe."

Huo Wenxi said with a hint of pride, "Now, even the branch managers have to treat me with utmost respect."

They have no objections to whatever tasks headquarters assigns them.

"These people alone aren't enough, are they?"

Ji Yu was very curious about what Huo Wenxi had done, as they hadn't discussed it in Tokyo before.

"It's nothing, it's just that Red Star Security has opened a branch office."

Huo Wenxi spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Ji Yu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. The branch office certainly wouldn't have such professional people, but it was still a deterrent, and it was legal!

In addition, the branch office owners have something on them, so they have no choice but to obey.

Huo Wenxi explained, "I'm not doing this to deal with them. The company has a lot of business now, and setting up a branch office avoids having to transfer people from Shanghai. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to apply to the local authorities every time."

The commercial performances arranged by the company are now very successful, and the artists give them positive feedback afterward, so the company has already established a good reputation in the industry.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow: "So capable? Never made a mistake?"

Before Huo Wenxi could answer, a seemingly honest-looking young man suddenly interjected, "Yes, Twins almost got into an accident during a performance in China!"

Ji Yu turned his head and recognized him as the security guard who had been at the record company entrance.

The security guard smiled sheepishly, wanting to ask Shu Chang why he hadn't returned, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Ji Yu thought he was trying to show off, so he asked with a smile, "What happened? Tell me about it."

The young man scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Back then, a group of thugs insisted on inviting Twins out for dinner and tea, and even said they wanted to collect protection money."

Ji Yu narrowed his eyes, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "And then?"

The young man puffed out his chest, his tone tinged with pride: "I took off my uniform, took on five of them by myself, and beat them into submission! I didn't cause any trouble for the company!"

Ji Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter, patting him on the shoulder: "Well done! I'll give you a bonus later!"

Only after they finally broke through the encirclement and got into the car did Ji Yu stop smiling and look at Huo Wenxi.

"That can't be right. If a thug dares to be so arrogant, there must be a local tyrant behind him. A fight won't solve the problem."

Huo Wenxi's lips curled slightly, but his eyes turned cold: "Of course, it's not just about fighting."

She slowly adjusted her cuffs and said calmly, "I had someone investigate, and it turns out that those thugs are backed by a construction company with quite a lot of business."

Ji Yu immediately understood: "You had someone investigate him?"

Huo Wenxi smiled slightly: "After a joint enforcement action by various departments, he behaved himself."

Ji Yu shook his head and chuckled: "President Huo, you're becoming more and more like a villain."

Huo Wenxi glanced at him sideways: "Then what are you? The villain among villains?"

Ji Yu wanted to refute it, but after scratching his head, he felt that the statement was quite correct when taken literally.

He and Huo Wenxi were always intertwined, each in their own right.

The car drove away from the airport, and the noise behind it gradually faded away.

As Ji Yu gazed at the scenery rushing past the window, he suddenly realized that life back in China would probably be even more bustling than in Tokyo.

Ji Yu leaned back in his chair when his phone suddenly vibrated. The caller ID on the screen was Teacher Li.

He pressed the answer button, and Li Xiaoran's gentle voice came through.

Where are you? How much longer until you get home?

Ji Yu subconsciously glanced at Huo Wenxi beside him, who was looking down at the documents, but her movements had slowed down.

He looked away and replied, "Soon, about twenty minutes."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Li Xiaoran paused, a hint of hesitation in her voice, "By the way, is Huo Wenxi with you? Invite her over for dinner, I'll cook a few more dishes."

Huo Wenxi frowned slightly as he flipped through the documents, and his movements became a little heavier.

Ji Yu coughed lightly, adjusted his posture, and then said, "Okay, I'll ask her."

After hanging up the phone, the car fell silent for a moment.

Huo Wenxi didn't even look up, her tone indifferent: "No, I have things to do at the company."

Ji Yu glanced at her sideways. "Fine, didn't you say you wanted to meet her?"

Huo Wenxi closed the folder, a faint smile curving his lips.

"Even if we meet for a meal, I shouldn't be the one going as the 'guest,' should I?"

Ji Yu understood the implication in her words: Li Xiaoran was inviting him as the hostess.

Huo Wenxi clearly wouldn't cooperate with her.

He wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.

"Then I'll take you home first, and I'll come find you tomorrow."

Huo Wenxi did not respond further and turned to look out the window.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa on the Bund.

Ji Yu had no idea when Huo Wenxi bought it.

Huo Wenxi nimbly pushed open the car door and got out, leaving behind the words, "Don't come looking for me tomorrow, I'm busy."

His tone was businesslike, as if the subtle atmosphere from just moments ago had never existed.

Ji Yu leaned out of the car and shouted, "You're being shameless! I haven't even visited your new house yet, and I'll miss you!"

The only response Ji Yu received was Huo Wenxi's aloof back and a middle finger.

Ji Yu couldn't help but laugh as he watched her walk into the mansion until she disappeared from sight, then he signaled the driver to drive away.

As soon as they got home and opened the door, Li Xiaoran rushed over and threw herself into Ji Yu's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

She looked up, her eyes filled with affection and joy.

"You're finally back! Otherwise, I would have come looking for you!"

Ji Yu ruffled her hair and chuckled, "You missed me that much?"

Li Xiaoran scoffed, "Who misses you? I'm just afraid you'll get snatched away by someone."

Her gaze swept behind Ji Yu, and she raised an eyebrow, asking, "She didn't come?"

Ji Yu paused for a moment, then said casually, "Something came up at the company."

Li Xiaoran hugged him and said calmly, "I guessed it. I wouldn't have guessed it either."

Ji Yu paused, then asked, "Hmm?"

Li Xiaoran let go of him, looked into his eyes and said, "If she were at the company, I wouldn't take the initiative to meet her, otherwise I would have to call her President Huo."

Ji Yu: "." Teacher Li is quite clever in this kind of thing.
