Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 392 The mother and daughter are safe
After Liu Xiaoli's relatives arrived in Los Angeles, Hibiscus Garden suddenly became crowded.

Even with the addition of two Filipino maids, the service staff is still somewhat stretched.

Chef Ma became a little nervous while cooking.

Thinking that someone would come next, Hideki Hanyu temporarily transferred the chef team and servants from "Moon Lake".

Although Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about the salaries of these people.

But you have to use it when it’s time to use it. You can’t always just take money for nothing and not work.

Although with the addition of Liu Xiaoli’s family, Hibiscus Garden looks a lot more lively.

But Hanyu Hideki is not a person who likes excitement.

Therefore, after Liu Xiaoli was accompanied by relatives, he simply stayed in a mansion in Malibu at night.

I just experienced all the characters I had never experienced before.

Teacher, housewife, lawyer, tram girl, widow...

Of course, it's America's territory.

You should also try to play a unique profession like a plumber.

In a word, during these few nights, Hanyu Hideki felt that his life was extremely fulfilling.

In a happy life, the date flashes to May NO.20.

this day.

Whether it's "Kitten Club" or "Please, Food."

The recording of their overseas special program has officially come to an end.

It has been determined that the "Elf" will send everyone back to Neon on the next day.

When he was leaving, Hideki Hanyu simply invited a service company to help him hold a farewell party in Malibu.

As night falls, everyone gathers around the bonfire and eats various delicacies prepared by the chef.

From time to time, someone jumped onto the makeshift stage, picked up the microphone and sang a song accompanied by the band.

There are also girls laughing and playing various games on the beach.

Feeling the happy atmosphere at the scene, Akimoto Yasushi couldn't help but say to Hanyu Hideki.

"This trip to America is really a pleasant one. I must thank Hanyu-san for the hospitality."

In the entire party, the only person who was qualified to sit next to Hanyu Hideki and chat was Yasushi Akimoto.

As for the Sekimoto sisters, it may be because they were overworked last night and had another day of filming during the day.

He didn't participate in the activity at all, but went directly back to the house to rest.

And even if they didn't take a break, the two of them knew how to behave in public.

It was impossible to make their relationship with Hideki Hanyu known to everyone.

Hideki Hanyu said, "If you like it, you can come here often when you have free time."

Yasushi Akimoto said helplessly, "The Kitten Club is so popular now, I won't be able to take any time off in a short time."

Although under the instruction of Hanyu Hideki, "Kitten Club" was broadcast on Fuji Channel three times a week instead of the original five.

It can be counted as a spin-off program filmed for Yunshang Satellite TV.

The workload of the entire program production team has not actually been reduced much.

Almost every day I am busy without even touching the ground.

Ordinary employees may still have time to rest, but producers like Akimoto Yasushi have no chance to rest at all.

Whether it is broadcasting scripts, production plans, actor selection, on-site shooting, post-production, or even audience feedback and ratings after broadcast.

Akimoto Yasushi all needs to be involved and concerned.

In the fiercely competitive neon television industry, producers must expend all their energy to run a program well.

The kind of thing where one producer is responsible for several programs and TV series, and each of them is a hit in the ratings, but the other party may not even have time to sleep.

The only outcome waiting for such a person is death from overwork.

This is why, after Hideki Hanyu got on the right track at Yunshang Entertainment, he rarely participated in the company's specific work.

Unless it was a plan proposed by him personally.

Otherwise, even if he sees that something will go wrong in this program, he will not easily interfere.

After all, for subordinates, making mistakes is also a kind of growth.

A company that cannot move forward without someone is definitely not a mature company.

It is also destined to fail.

Just like that, the two of them sat in the corner of the party chatting.

I just watched everyone having fun and did not participate in it.

But Hanyu Hideki didn't plan to play.

But that doesn't mean others won't come to him.

I saw two girls walking hand in hand in front of Hanyu Hideki.

They mustered up all their courage and timidly said to Hideki Hanyu.

"President Hanyu, we are going to dance around the bonfire. Can I invite you to join us?"

Hideki Hanyu looked at the two girls who were looking forward to it.

I haven't thought about whether to agree or not.

But I wonder how these two people got together?

At this moment, two girls stood in front of him, holding hands and inviting him.

One is Shizuka Kudo, a member of the Kitten Club.

Hanyu Hideki learned from Akimoto Yasu's mouth that when Nitta Eri and Kunio Sayuri once again divided into two factions and fought secretly like the original history.

Shizuka Kudo, who replaced Sonoko Kawai as one of the new "Big Three", is quite popular among the Koneko members. She can be described as a 'kitten social butterfly'.

This made Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed the only person to survive the fall of the Kitten Club in his previous life.

As for the girl standing next to Kudo Shizuka, she was also the girl who extended the invitation to Hanyu Hideki.

It was Noriko Sakai who was not a member of the Kitten Club.

I saw the little girl and Shizuka Kudo holding hands, looking very intimate.

Hideki Hanyu really wanted to ask him, hadn't he been tricked by Shizuka Kudo in another time and space?
How come this relationship is getting better again?

Silly girl, could you please be more careful? With your emotional and IQ, you are probably betrayed by Shizuka Kudo, and you have to count the money for her.

There is also green tea like Shizuka Kudo, which is so bad that it would be a disaster for another person.

Why are you keeping an eye on Noriko Sakai?

The two came to invite him, but Shizuka Kudo put on a shy look, hid behind Noriko Sakai, and then let Noriko Sakai speak.

Hanyu Hideki couldn't believe that the little girl who dared to go racing in Wangan with her friends two years ago would be shy over such a trivial matter.

Why don't you take this silly girl like Sakai Noriko as your fault?

Invite him and he agrees, of course everything is fine, and you can use the opportunity to show off.

But if he disagrees, it will only be Sakai Noriko who confronts Hanyu Hideki.

Hey, no wonder she can be called a "kitten social butterfly".

This emotional intelligence is completely beyond the current age.

While complaining in my heart.

Hideki Hanyu looked at the evasive Shizuka Kudo and the expectant Noriko Sakai.

I felt a little funny in my heart for no reason.

People who can only be seen in videos in the future will appear in front of him in a way that he has never seen before.

This feeling of traveling through time and space and participating in history.

Unprecedented and wonderful.

This feeling prompted Hideki Hanyu to nod.

Then he looked at Qiu Pangpang next to him and said hello.

"It's a rare trip, so don't let Qiu Yuan-sang let you down."

"Then together."

Qiu Pangpang said, standing up from the chair.

After recording programs all day long, my nerves are always tense, so it would be nice to relax a bit.

Amid the cheerful music, everyone danced around the bonfire.

It can be regarded as a special folk dance of neon.

At first they held hands and circled around the campfire.

After the rhythm changes, there will be two groups again, one in front and one behind, holding hands, and continue to gather or disperse around the bonfire.

When everyone holds hands and goes around in circles.

Hideki Hanyu held Shizuka Kudo with his left hand and Noriko Sakai with his right hand.

It seems that there are beautiful women everywhere.

But Hanyu Hideki himself really didn't have any evil thoughts.

After all, the two girls are 15 and 16 years old.

They all look like they haven’t grown yet.

Even if Hanyu Hideki is a scumbag, he really can't arouse his interest.

But he was not interested in the two little girls.

The two girls didn't think so.

The rhythm of the music changes when two teams are needed on the field.

Hanyu Hideki didn't care.

But both girls obviously want to partner with Hideki Hanyu.

It’s time to grab a man like this.

The cowardly Sakai Noriko is obviously no match for Green Tea Shizuka.

Originally, according to the direction of the circle, Hanyu Hideki should team up with Noriko Sakai on the right hand.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Kudo Shizuka seemed to have lost her footing on the beach, staggered, grabbed Hanyu Hideki's hand, and threw herself into the man's arms.

Following the rhythm change, when the girl struggled to get up, she said sorry, but her hands took Hanyu Hideki's hand from behind.

In this way, Hanyu Hideki, who saw through things without telling them, was led by Green Tea Shizuka into the dancing team.

As for Sakai Noriko, who didn't see anything wrong at all.

Then you can only team up with other kitten members.

There are more women than men in the filming crew, so most of the kitten members are actually in pairs.

However, among the members, there are also those who were not involved from the beginning.

For example, "unbridled" stretching out a pair of beautiful legs.

Sachiko Kamaike sat quietly on the beach not far away.

Maybe it's just his personality.

Or maybe it was a deliberate arrangement by the program team.

Although Kamai Sachiko is firmly in the top five in terms of popularity on the show.

But there is always a feeling of being outside the show.

It feels like it belongs to a completely different style from Kitten Club.

A folk dance round is over.

After dancing closely with Hideki Hanyu for a while, Shizuka Kudo realized that her plan had succeeded. She was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to hold hands and circle around again to find some topics to chat with Hideki Hanyu.

However, he found that Hanyu Hideki immediately let go of his hand and left the dance team.

Found Yasushi Akimoto who also left.

Akimoto Yasu asked strangely when he saw Hanyu Hideki.

"Huh? Why don't you dance, Hanyu-san? I can't keep up with my physical strength, but you don't look like you are physically weak?"

Hideki Hanyu pointed his eyes at Sachiko Kamaiike who was not far away, and asked, "What happened to her? Did the program team bully her?"

The most common thing neon bullying culture does is isolate someone.

The way Sister Quan Shui looks now, she looks like she was collectively bullied by the show crew.

Qiu Yuanyasu quickly shook his head, "Of course not."

But after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but add, "At least the program team didn't."

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he glanced at the Koneko members who were still dancing behind him, "Is that what they did?"

"Actually, you can't say that. Miss Sachiko Kamaike's personality is not very gregarious, and she is positioned as a 'powerful person', which makes her seem a bit different in the Kitten Club.

A few days ago, Sonoko Kawai, who joined later, released a solo record. However, in order to keep Sachiko Kamaike's topicality, we haven't released a record for her yet, so she came to see me.

Although I told the program team's plan, I felt like she didn't listen and didn't seem to believe it.

so……"

When Qiu Yuanyasu said this, he spread his hands helplessly, and the meaning was self-evident.

The starting point of him and the program team was actually for the sake of Kamai Sachiko.

After all, the program team created a "powerful" character for Kamai Sachiko, but they did not give her a solo film.

In this way, not only Sachiko Kamaike's supporters will sympathize with Sachiko Kamaike.

Even those who are not fans of Sachiko Kamaiike will also give sympathy points.

In this case, the program team was scolded.

But Sachiko Kamaike has gained a lot of popularity.

Although there are no solo albums, the group albums of the leader, as well as personal photos and other peripheral products, are sold better than other members due to the influence of sympathy points.

But once Sachiko Kamaichi is really alone, this benefit will naturally disappear.

After listening to Akimoto Yasu's words, Hanyu Hideki looked at Kamai Sachiko's appearance at this time.

He finally understood that this girl obviously failed to understand the good intentions of the program team.

The most important thing is that the program team is thinking about Kamai Sachiko.

But it is powerless to control the behavior of other members.

Because of Kamai Sachiko's "strength" and her shy and unsociable personality, she inevitably became an outlier in the kitten club.

Although not to the extent of being "bullied".

But he is also outside the entire team.

"Didn't Akimoto-san find a professional psychiatrist to provide her with consultation?" Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but say.

"Psychiatrist?" Qiu Yuankang looked strange.

I wonder what his boss is talking about?This is an artist, not his daughter or sister.

He has been working in the TV station for many years, but he has never heard of the program team providing this kind of service.

The competition in the neon TV industry is fierce. If an artist cannot adjust to this little thing, he or she will need the guidance of a psychologist.

Those girls who are willing to do whatever it takes to get a chance should probably commit suicide by lying on the Shinkansen train.

If you want to mix in this circle, strong mental endurance is a must.

"fine."

Hanyu Hideki waved his hands, knowing that he couldn't take this kind of thing seriously with Akimoto Yasu.

The neon entertainment industry does not treat artists as human beings. This is not just a new phenomenon. To some extent, it is considered a tradition.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people in black behind the scenes, his previous request for Yunshangyi to help Akina Nakamori find a psychiatrist was unusual and strange.

Besides, there is nothing special about Kamachi Sachiko in the eyes of others.

In terms of beauty, she is not considered to be the best in the entertainment industry.

When it comes to singing skills, she is top-notch only in the Kitten Club. Looking at the entire neon music scene, there are also many who are better than her.

Facing Kamai Sachiko who was in a bad state at this time, Hanyu Hideki could of course just ignore it like everyone else.

It was expected that the other party was signed by him as a trainee of Yunshang Entertainment.

It can also be said that it was because of him that I entered the Kitten Club.

So Hideki Hanyu felt that he always had a "responsibility" for this girl.

It's impossible to act and watch what's wrong with the other party.

Slowly walking to Kamai Sachiko, Hanyu Hideki sat down and sat directly on the beach like the other person.

"Miss Kamaike Sachiko, why don't you dance with everyone."

Sachiko Kamaiike was in a daze and didn't notice Hanyu Hideki coming over at all.

Hearing the sound at this time, he turned around and found that it was Hideki Hanyu, and he immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Hanyu... President Hanyu... I... I..."

Kamike Sachiko hesitated and talked for a long time, but did not say a complete sentence.

Of course she is no stranger to Hideki Hanyu.

It was Hanyu Hideki who recruited her to join Yunshang Entertainment.

She is also very clear about the relationship between her only good friend at Yunshang Entertainment, Yasuko Sawaguchi, and Hideki Hanyu.
But even so, it didn't mean that she could be calm and composed when facing Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki didn't care about Kamike Sachiko's nervousness.

Instead, he continued, "If I remember correctly, the last time Miss Puchi and I spoke was at the recruitment meeting three years ago."

Kamaike Sachiko, who finally regained some sense, quickly answered.

"Yes, thank you, President Hanyu, for inviting me to join Yunshang Entertainment."

"That's because you are good enough, Miss Puchi."

Hanyu Hideki smiled softly as he spoke, "Just like in the Kitty Club now, Ms. Kamaike is recognized as a powerful person."

"Thank you, Chairman Hanyu, for the compliment."

When Kamike Sachiko said this, her expression suddenly became melancholy.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki asked in a soft tone, "Miss Kamai seems to be worried. If you don't mind, can you talk to me?"

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Sachiko Kamaike seemed a little nervous, so he emphasized, "As Ms. Kamaike's boss, it is natural for me to care about the mental state of my employees."

It seemed that Hanyu Hideki's last words made Kamai Sachiko let down her guard a little.

Start to speak slowly what's on your mind.

"I like singing, I want to sing, but now in the Kitty Club, I feel like I am pretending to be a stranger and singing songs that I don't even like."

Having said this, Sachiko Kamaichi faced the evening breeze of Malibu Beach, talked about the hair on her temples, and showed a mature smile.

"I am very grateful to President Akimoto. I know that the things he asked me to do are all for my own good. His actions have helped me gain a lot of popularity.

And I want to release a solo record. Actually, I have no other idea. I just want to sing a song that I like, rather than blindly cooperate with the group.

If my performance has made President Hanyu worried, I'm really sorry. It's me who has caused trouble for everyone. "

After listening to Kamai Sachiko's words, Hanyu Hideki suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood this girl.

The other party was more sober and stronger than he imagined, and he was not under unbearable mental pressure as he had imagined.

"Originally, I was worried that you would be stressed and wanted to comfort you. After all, I am still very optimistic about your future development. Now that you understand all this, I am relieved."

After saying these words, Hanyu Hideki stood up and patted the fine sand on his pants before preparing to leave.

At this time, Kamaike Sachiko's voice came from behind.

"Thank you, Chairman Hanyu, for your concern."

Hanyu Hideki waved his hand without looking back, "This is what I should do."

After chatting with Kamai Sachiko, Hanyu Hideki was once again invited to dance in a circle around the campfire.

This time, Kudo Shizuka's plan failed.

Hanyu Hideki took the opportunity to hold Sakai Noriko's hand and completed the second stage of the dance.

As a result, Sakai Noriko's face kept turning red as she danced as if Hanyu Hideki was holding her in his arms.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care at all about the girl's condition.

When he got excited about playing, he also asked the band to borrow a guitar and played and sang several songs, making the atmosphere lively.

In such a joyful atmosphere, the farewell party came to an end.

The members of the kitten reluctantly said goodbye and left.

Everyone knows that we will return to Neon tomorrow.

And whether these people will have the opportunity to come out together in the future is destined to be unknown.

Because Yasushi Akimoto has confirmed with the program team that the Kitten Club will implement a graduation system.

In other words, no matter which member they are, no matter how popular they are, they cannot stay on the show forever.

Maybe this year.

Maybe next year.

Maybe it's personal reasons.

Maybe the program needs it.

Some of them want to say goodbye to the show completely.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki also knew about the graduation system.

It wasn’t the show’s decision in the first place.

But individual members don't want to stay.

Or maybe artists from other agencies don’t want to stay on the show to waste time after gaining popularity.

There is nothing the program production team can do.

Just think of a good name for quitting.

It’s called “graduation.”

In the future, the "graduation" of the neon girl group will officially kick off from here.

Of course, it's called graduation.

Finally, I can use my reputation to sell 'graduation' records and post 'graduation' photos to make the last wave of money.

Anyway, Akimoto Yasushi is the best at this trick.

After all, among Neon's top graduation songs, whether it's "Graduation" by Momoko Kikuchi or "Sakura Petals" by AKB48, they were both composed by Yasushi Akimoto.
-
The next day.

Everyone who came to America to film the show this time boarded the "Elf" and returned to Neon.

Looking at the backs of the Sekimoto sisters, Hanyu Hideki, who is addicted to the plot, felt somewhat reluctant to give up.

However, as the "Elf" flew back to Neon, his family and many friends were brought to Los Angeles.

Liu Xiaoli was also admitted to the hospital from Hibiscus Garden because of her severe reaction.

Hideki Hanyu greeted his family and friends while worrying about the mother.

Those fancy things were immediately forgotten.

The hospital Liu Xiaoli was admitted to was the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center
This medical center, established in 1955, is the best hospital on the West Coast of America.

Its obstetrics and gynecology delivery center is also among the best in America.

Although based on Liu Xiaoli's physical condition, it doesn't matter even if she gives birth in a small hospital.

Be careful not to make a big mistake.

Hideki Hanyu, who is not short of money, chooses the best.

He donated a large amount of money to the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center a long time ago.

When others donate money here, it is mostly so that their children can go to college in the future.

But Hanyu Hideki simply wanted his women to receive the best service.

As expected, there were plenty of US dollars to clear the way.

After Liu Xiaoli entered the hospital, she was immediately treated with the highest standards.

For ordinary Americans, doctor's appointments can take weeks or months.

But as soon as Liu Xiaoli came in, she was immediately joined by the top experts in the hospital for a joint consultation.

After confirming that everything is normal for the mother, there is nothing to worry about.

Everyone is just waiting for the moment when new life comes.

May 25.

Birthing Center at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiaoli was pushed into the delivery room by medical staff.

After two lifetimes, Hideki Hanyu is going to be a father for the first time.

I could no longer suppress the tension in my heart.

Wandering up and down the hallways of the birthing center.

At the entrance of the birthing center, Hanyu Hideki's family and Liu Xiaoli's family were talking.

The younger brother Hanyu Shuri and the younger sister Hanyu Yui who came with them were full of curiosity, as if they wanted to know what their future niece would look like.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu walking non-stop, Reiko Uemura, who was already the assistant director of the office, came from Tokyo and brought a glass of water to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-sensei, have a drink of water."

Further away, a group of Hanyu Hideki's friends and close subordinates were waiting with different expressions.

Yada Yoshihiro, whose wife was also expecting childbirth at home, wondered whether he would be as nervous as Hanyu Hideki when Koyama Amono gave birth.

Yukio Tanaka and Shinsuke Ito, who had already experienced their wife's delivery, came up to comfort Hanyu Hideki with Tadashi Yanai after he drank the water.

Mijima Iijima, Motoki Matsui, and Yasushi Akimoto, who had just returned to Neon and rushed back immediately, stood together and whispered something.

Jinbo Eiichi, who had temporarily left his trading job in Tokyo, was discussing work matters with Takeshi Honda. It was probably because Tokyo was really busy.

But the problem is that the boss's eldest daughter is born, and no matter how busy he is, he still has to come over to express his gratitude.

Yoshiyuki Ishizuka and Nobusada Shiina, who have been staying on the east coast to run fashion brand Supreme, are catching up with Reiko Nakagawa, who is still at Uniqlo.

As for Hirohashi Asako and Yoshioka Shota, they were chatting with a group of people headed by Kithara Eri, Iwata Satoru, and Michael Katz, including Lao Huang who had been reorganized into Myth Vision, collectively known as the elf system.

As for the others, there is no need to go into details.

Anyway, those who can come here today are basically Hanyu Hideki's friends and the backbone of his subordinates.

However, with the comfort of everyone, Hanyu Hideki was not nervous for long.

Only half an hour after Liu Xiaoli entered the delivery room, everyone heard the crisp cry of the baby coming from the delivery room.

After a while, everyone saw Liu Xiaoli being pushed out with a weak look on her face.

Also pushed out was a "baby incubator" that looked very sci-fi.

The midwifery doctor saw Hanyu Hideki, a big financial backer, and came up to explain.

"Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured that the delivery went very smoothly. Both mother and baby are healthy. They were placed in the baby incubator just to allow the baby to adapt to the external environment. There is nothing wrong with the baby."

"Okay, I understand. I will thank the center for its help next..."

At this time, Hanyu Hideki heard that both mother and baby were healthy.

When he was happy, he promised to donate another amount of money without any care.

As for what the doctor said next, he didn't care at all.

His eyes were moving back and forth between Liu Xiaoli and the baby.

Looking at the baby incubator, her eyes were slightly closed and her skin was still slightly wrinkled, but her cute appearance could already be seen.

He didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Of course there is happiness and joy.

But it’s more of a “novelty”.

A longing for a new phase of life that has never been experienced before.

Looking at Liu Xiaoli who looked tired, he reached out to hold her hand and said softly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

……

Half an hour later, in the ward.

After everyone sent their blessings to Liu Xiaoli, who had just become a mother, they all left one by one.

Only the family members of Hanyu Hideki and Liu Xiaoli, as well as a few close friends, are left here.

Yukio Tanaka couldn't help but ask Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-kun, you should have thought of a name for your daughter in advance this time."

Seeing everyone turning their attention to him.

Hanyu Hideki said calmly, "Of course, I not only thought about it, but also thought about the names of Neon and Huaxia respectively."

After hearing this, everyone became curious and wanted to know what names Hanyu Hideki had thought of for his daughter.

Hideki Hanyu looked at his daughter who was sleeping in the baby incubator.

"Child, on the day you were born, the whole day..."

Nonsence--

On the stage.

Under everyone's curious eyes.

Hanyu Hideki read out first, "Hanyu Akaneko."

Then he turned to look at Liu Xiaoli and said softly.

"Liu Yifei."

　A fairy is born and scatters flowers.
