Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 425 Mental Image Chamber of Commerce

The response to the program "Star Creation" was excellent, and Hanyu Hideki felt that he did not need to pay too much attention to it.

Therefore, there has been no influence on the show.

But today, because of Nakamori Akiho's incident, he found out that Yunshang Entertainment and the program team had made such a plan.

But having said that, this cannot be blamed on the program team and the planning department of Yunshang Entertainment.

After all, Vitality Girl is the absolute cash cow of Yunshang Entertainment.

Last year, Yunshang Entertainment generated sales of more than 30 billion yen across Asia just by selling records.

Even though Xiao Pangcai is now known as the Queen of Heaven, in terms of income-generating ability, there is still a big gap between her and Vitality Girl.

Under this situation, the vitality girl gradually began to transform.

Popularity inevitably began to decline.

I don’t know when one day such a large chunk of income will disappear.

Driven by this sense of crisis, it is understandable that they want to find an artist who can replace the vitality girl.

After all, unlike him, these people have eyes that can see through time.

But fortunately, he knows now and can correct it in advance.

It is unnecessary to bundle so many high-quality idols into a group and then throw them into the female idol market that was turned into a puddle by "Kitten Club", which is a waste of the talents of several people.

However, he did not immediately make arrangements, but asked Matsui Motoki first.

"How do you plan to arrange the students who have obtained debut spots in Boys' Ultimate Creation Camp?"

"We are still considering it for now, and the debut model should be determined based on the training results and performance in group activities."

Matsui Motoki's answer left Hideki Hanyu speechless again.

I thought to myself that these subordinates would just do the opposite of how the market develops.

The market for female idol groups seems to have little hope, and they are desperate to pounce on it.

The boy band market is about to be booming, but they are hesitant and don't even have a plan.

"Haven't you considered it? Didn't the impression given to the audience by Girls' Creation Camp seem a little unsuitable for debuting as a group? Do you plan to make the new group use internal discord as its main selling point in the future?"

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's questioning, Matsui Motoki looked bitter.

I thought to myself that he was the producer of the program, and it was the people from the planning department who made the plans. Chairman, please don’t just reprimand me.

Hanyu Hideki naturally knew this too.

He is not the kind of person who likes to reprimand his subordinates, because in his opinion, instead of wasting time on reprimanding some incompetent people, it is better to just let them go.

And some people who are capable but only make mistakes temporarily, it is better to just tell them what to do.

He told Matsui Motoki, "Call the representatives from the planning department on the program team, as well as other program managers."

"Yes." Matsui Motoki agreed and went to call the people from the planning department and the program team over.

Hideki Hanyu told several people straight to the point.

"The female idol group market has been severely overstretched by the Kitty Club. Now is not the best time to launch a new group, so the female students selected in the show should try their best to debut in a solo mode."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the planning department employee asked cautiously, "President, when is the best time?"

Not only did everyone dare not refute Hanyu Hideki's judgment.

I am also convinced in my heart, after all, groups of successful artists have proven their president's ability in this area.

"I will naturally say it when the time comes." Hanyu Hideki could only reply.

After all, he couldn't tell his subordinates that in a few years it would be the era of bands and electronic dance music.

Audiences are looking for powerful actors, and the idol industry has entered an ice age. The collective is in a state of disgrace, and we have to wait at least ten years before we have a chance to start over again.

However, although these words cannot be said, it can still be done by taking advantage of the last highlight of the male idol group.

"As for the male students, please plan a new group. Make the plan as soon as possible and report it to me as soon as possible."

"I see."

All the subordinates at the scene answered in unison.

"Okay, let's go get busy."

After Hanyu Hideki asked his subordinates to step aside, he immediately called Hirohashi Asako and Iijima Mitochi.

If he makes important arrangements here, he must inform the two of them.

After all, they are the ones running the club now, and Hideki Hanyu must give them due respect.

Hanyu Hideki explained his thoughts to the two in detail and why he did what he did.

It can be regarded as taking this opportunity to correct the development direction of Yunshang Entertainment in advance.

If he didn't pay attention, the club would completely deviate to the point of being unable to pull back, and missed the trend of the times.

After finishing these tasks, when he returned to the dressing room, he found that the door of the dressing room was opened from the inside.

Akiho Nakamori walked out quickly, followed closely by Akina Nakamori.

The elder sister grabbed her younger sister's hand and urged her loudly, "Don't be so willful!"

Not to be outdone, the younger sister replied, "You are my sister, why don't you go to me?"

After saying that, I found that Hanyu Hideki was also at the door.

Akiho Nakamori, who knew the relationship between Hideki Hanyu and his sister, immediately looked to Hideki Hanyu for help.

But soon she discovered that Hideki Hanyu looked at her with extremely indifferent eyes.

How could Nakamori Akiho know the reason why Hanyu Hideki helped her all this time?

Just because of Akina Nakamori, and only for Akina Nakamori.

Scumbag men are just trying to make their women happy by helping them.

If Nakamori Akina is not Nakamori Akina's sister.

Hideki Hanyu couldn't even take a look at this kind of woman who didn't know why.

If Akiho Nakamori thinks she has any weight with Hideki Hanyu, he is too naive.

Compared with Nakamori Akina, Nakamori Akiho was worthless in his heart.

"Hmph! I don't want you to control me."

Seeing that her request for help was in vain, Nakamori Akiho shook off her sister's hand, turned around and ran outside.

Nakamori Akina turned to Hanyu Hideki and said, "Hanyu-kun, I don't trust her alone. I want to persuade her to go back to the apartment first."

Hideki Hanyu said, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you at home."

"Ah."

After Fatty left, Hideki Hanyu didn't stay here much.

With everyone's congratulations, he drove away from the training base.

It wasn't until Hanyu Hideki's car disappeared that everyone in the parking lot breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my president is not the kind of person who helps his relatives but not others.

Otherwise, someone will definitely be in bad luck today.

"Okay, let's go back to work."

Matsui Motoki gave the order and the staff left one after another.

This also includes all the Creation Camp students who were brought together and who were never able to say a word to Hanyu Hideki from the beginning to the end.

That's all for the male students, they still have to worry about tomorrow's final program.

But the few female students who had already confirmed their quotas felt more fortunate than all the staff.

After all, what happened today was, to a certain extent, caused by them.

On the way back to the shooting location, Mai Kitashima said thankfully, "It was really dangerous. Fortunately, President Hanyu didn't blame us."

"What's there to worry about, Shimaimai-chan? Your father and mother are both insiders. They can help you if something goes wrong."

The speaker was Sentaka Chisato.

Perhaps it was because she and Kitashima Mai were not from the same district, and without the intrigue of the district creation camp, among the girls, they had the best relationship.

"Stop talking nonsense, that's President Hanyu. If he really wants to do anything to me, my parents can't help him."

Although Mai Kitashima is younger than other students, because her parents are insiders, she is more aware of Hanyu Hideki's power in the entertainment industry.

This is why her parents agreed to her participating in "Star Creation".

As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade with the back of a big tree.

As long as she can sign a contract with Yunshang Entertainment, have resources, and have channels, becoming famous is a sure thing, and it is more convenient than relying on her parents' support.

However, when Kitashima Mai said this, Chisato Moritaka pretended to be surprised and said, "What did President Hanyu do to you? What on earth is Shima Mai-chan thinking about?"

"It's just you, a pervert, who is thinking wildly!" Kitashima retorted with bared teeth.

Unexpectedly, Sentaka Senri raised an eyebrow and said, "Think whatever you want. Hanyu is so handsome and powerful. It would be great if he could be my boyfriend."

"Mori Taka-san is shameless." Mai Kitashima said.

Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, several students next to her echoed Sentaka Senri's words.

Yui Asaka said, "President Hanyu is only six years older than me, so it's just right for him to be my boyfriend."

Funabashi Kaori and Sugino Ayumi also expressed the same meaning.

Hearing this, Sentaka Mori immediately refused, "President Hanyu, I want it first, you can't snatch it from me."

"Stop dreaming. When did President Hanyu become yours?"

"that is……"

Seeing a few people quarreling, Kitashima Mai curled her lips and muttered in a low voice.

"A bunch of perverts with wishful thinking."

……

Because it's past the rush hour.

Hanyu Hideki drove home much faster than when he went there.

When he got home, he saw that the chef was still waiting for him to have dinner.

He simply didn't wait for Nakamori Akina and asked the chef to start cooking.

After all, he didn't know how long Akina Nakamori would be delayed after sending her sister back to the apartment.

But while he was waiting for the chef to cook, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Could it be that Akina Nakamori is back?

Did you solve the problem of the unclear sister in such a short time?

Hanyu Hideki thought so and went to open the door.

Then he saw someone he didn't expect standing at the door of the house.

Koizumi Kyoko.

This girl was wearing a long red dress, standing pretty outside the gate in the evening.

The evening breeze blew, and her long black hair and red skirt swayed gently, showing the beauty of the Showa era.

Hanyu Hideki opened the door and was about to ask why the other party came suddenly.

Koizumi Kyoko walked in and informed her proactively, "It was Akina-chan who called me and asked me to come."

"Huh?" Hanyu Hideki became even more confused.

Koizumi Kyoko continued to explain, "She said she would send her sister back to Kiyose City tonight."

"ok, I get it."

Hanyu Hideki thought this was nothing.

Xiao Pangcai was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat dinner or sleep alone, so he called someone to stay with him.

Hideki Hanyu still doesn’t know what kind of character Koizumi Kyoko is.

Nakamori Akina called the other party over. Wasn't this taking the initiative to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

It's really hard to guess a woman's mind.

But it was hard to guess, so he simply stopped guessing.

No matter what the purpose of the little fat dish was, he just took it all.

"You came just in time. Dinner will be ready soon. Let's eat together."

After inviting Kyoko Koizumi into the house, the chef just finished cooking dinner.

After the delicious food was placed on the table.

Hideki Hanyu said to the chefs, "Thank you very much for the delicious food. It's getting late, so you can go back first and let others do the rest tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu, and we'll take our leave."

The chef took his assistant and left.

On the side, Kyoko Koizumi, who acted calm and honest after entering the house and was teasing Nakolulu, suddenly brightened up when he saw the chef leaving.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki greeted him, "Come over and eat together."

In an instant, Koizumi Kyoko's eyes became enchanting.

Twisting her waist slightly, she walked to the dining table in a charming manner.

Instead of sitting down to eat first, he put his arms around Hanyu Hideki's neck, got into the man's arms, and sat on the man's lap with his legs crossed.

Said in a charming voice.

"Teacher, I miss you so much."

Hanyu Hideki glanced at the woman who had completely transformed into a goblin. Although the initial novelty had passed, the woman in front of him could always use her "skills" to arouse his desire.

He was not in a hurry to do anything, so he asked first, "Has something happened in your family?"

When the little fairy heard this, his expression immediately looked like he was about to cry, "My father took the money I helped fund his business and went to Hokkaido and stopped contacting my mother and me."

Hideki Hanyu said, "Then why didn't you tell me about the last time I called? If Akina hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it until now."

"I just don't want the teacher to worry."

The little goblin put her head on the man's chest, looking pitiful but still thinking about the man.

When Hideki Hanyu saw this, he thought that the little fairy would definitely feel sad because of the things at home.

But if he could still be this sad after a few months, he wouldn't believe it even to death.

At least half of it right now is just acting, just to win his sympathy.

Hanyu Hideki advised, "Okay, let's talk about it after dinner, otherwise the food will be cold."

Hearing this, the little goblin said coquettishly, "Teacher, please feed me."

Hanyu Hideki said angrily, "Why don't you feed me! Eat well."

Who would have thought that as soon as he said these words, the little goblin immediately stood up.

He picked up a dish with chopsticks and said, "Okay, okay, I'll feed the teacher."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was unmoved, the little elf's big eyes quickly turned and said, "Does the teacher want me to feed him like this?"

The little elf said, biting the dish between his lips, and then moved towards Hanyu Hideki's mouth.

The scumbag was so tempted that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately took one bite.

While eating the food, he also took the goblin's lips into his mouth.

After the passionate kiss ended, the two separated their lips.

The little goblin looked down and said with a silly smile, "It seems that the teacher misses me too."

Hideki Hanyu wanted to explain.

He is actually an upright gentleman who is sitting still and keeping his peace. It is just a small tree that is moving around.

But the helpless atmosphere has been accumulated here, and it would be inappropriate for him to remain indifferent.

As for eating, do both things at the same time without any delay.

Immediately afterwards, with the cooperation of the little goblin, he took off the fat under the other party's red skirt.

With the little goblin's soft cry as he was rushed out of the gate, the long-awaited dinner officially began.

But after a while, all the food on the dinner table was finished, and the other meal was not over yet.

The meal started in the dining room, passed through the living room, and finally ended in the bedroom.

At this time, the little fairy hugged Hideki Hanyu and complained, "Teacher, I haven't been with me for a long time."

Hideki Hanyu said innocently, "The last time I asked you to accompany me to Hawaii, you didn't have time."

When he went to Hawaii last month, he also called and asked the other party.

The other party said he had to work and didn't have time to go.

"I also want to go to Hawaii, but I have too many work schedules."

Not being able to accompany Hideki Hanyu to Hawaii for vacation, the little fairy's words were full of annoyance.

Hanyu Hideki said helplessly, "Then I can't help it. You were busy when I was free. Now that you are free, I have to be busy again."

Koizumi Kyoko said, "President Su Fang has promised me to help me set up a personal office by the end of the year. By then I will be able to arrange my own work and have more time to spend with my teachers."

Hanyu Hideki said, "We'll wait until you establish your own personal agency."

Koizumi Kyoko stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Hanyu Hideki's chest, pleading softly, "I can't go to Hawaii. Teacher, can you go shopping with me tomorrow?"

Hanyu Hideki shook his head, "I can't accompany you. I'm going to Hakone tomorrow."

"Hakone, teacher, are you going to Kanagawa?"

The little fairy is from Kanagawa, so he is no stranger to Hakone, which is part of Kanagawa Prefecture.

"Yes." Hanyu Hideki replied.

The little goblin immediately asked, "How about I go with the teacher?"

Hanyu Hideki frowned and said, "I'm going to do business, what are you going to do with me?"

"Teacher, just let me go. I promise that it won't affect your business, and after the teacher's work is finished, I can still accompany you to play in Hakone for a few days. It's rare for me to have a few days off."

The goblin's words made Hideki Hanyu think.

After a while, he stared at the restless little goblin and said, "Go and obey me, don't cause trouble."

As soon as the little elf heard this, he knew that Hanyu Hideki had agreed.

"no problem!"

The little goblin responded happily, then said with charming eyes, "Teacher, you are so kind, I want to be nice to you too."

After saying this, the little fairy took the initiative to lower her pretty face.

Licking slowly.

The body position is lowered little by little, slowly, lower and lower.

……

The next day, in the morning.

Before Hanyu Hideki left for Hakone, he contacted Akina Nakamori who sent his sister back to Kiyose City overnight.

I learned over the phone that the other girl was having a bad temper and said she didn't want to enter the entertainment industry.

Akina Nakamori still wanted to persuade her, and she probably had to stay one more day.

Hideki Hanyu told the other party that he was going to Hakone and would probably stay for a few days before coming back.

As for the little goblin, Nakamori Akina didn't ask, so naturally he wouldn't stupidly take the initiative to talk about it.

The black Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove towards Hakone with Marco driving.

In the back seat, Hanyu Hideki was looking through the debut plan for the male student group of the Creation Camp that was sent to him by the Yunshang Entertainment Planning Department and worked on overnight.     In fact, it is not right to say that it was done overnight.

It can be seen that the planning department must have considered the students to debut in a group before. The planning should have been done in advance, but it was just modified temporarily just to show him.

Hideki Hanyu read attentively, and from time to time he would take out his pen to delete, modify, or add new opinions on the plan.

In the passenger seat, assistant Ishihara Chie remained silent.

The little elf sat next to him and did not disturb Hanyu Hideki. He wore headphones and played Pokeball alone.

When he was about to arrive in Hakone, Hanyu Hideki finally finished reading the planning book and put away the table in front of him.

When the little goblin next to him saw this, he immediately took off his earphones and asked, "Teacher, are you done?"

"Ah."

The little fairy glanced at the cover of the planning book and asked, "Is it about the creation of stars?"

Hearing the goblin's question, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have thought of something. Instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know anything about star creation?"

"I don't like it very much, but my sister and mother really like it. They like a female student from the Tokyo Creation Camp very much. Because she was not selected for the Ultimate Creation Camp, they were sad for a while."

Hearing the goblin's answer, Hideki Hanyu asked curiously, "What is that student's name?"

"My name is..., my sister and mother want me to help them get that student's signed photo."

The goblin said a name that Hideki Hanyu had no idea about.

"An autographed photo is just a trivial matter. If you are willing, you can directly sign the female student after setting up your personal agency."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Koizumi Kyoko thought she had heard wrongly.

Pointing to his nose, he asked, "Sign up with my firm? Teacher, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Hanyu Hideki said with a serious expression.

He had told Mitsuo Iijima before that Yunshang Entertainment could never be alone with the popular students in the regional creation camp.

The best choice is to contact local firms to work together and let them select popular students to sign contracts.

But it’s easier to say that in other regions, after all, the market size is not large.

But the Tokyo Metropolitan Creation Camp is different.

It covers not only the traditional 23 wards of Tokyo, but also the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, covering a population of more than 30 million people.

This kind of scale cannot be handled by one firm.

It is not something that ordinary law firms can intervene in.

Speaking of which, the combustion system is undoubtedly a good partner.

Even if Kyoko Koizumi sets up a personal agency, the controlling shareholder will only be Ikkio Sufang.

Therefore, using Koizumi Kyoko to sign popular students is tantamount to cooperating with Ikuo Suho.

It can also avoid some troubles very well.

For example, the combustion system has never had a very good reputation.

The little elf is not an idiot, and he quickly understood that Hanyu Hideki was not working with her firm, but the burning system behind it.

But she still had questions about signing the contract.

"Teacher, what if the students I signed up for are selected into the Ultimate Creation Camp and finally get the chance to debut?"

Yunshang Arts, Yunshang Animation, and Yunshang Satellite TV invested so much money to host "Star Creation" not to provide benefits to other agencies.

If students from other firms get the opportunity to debut, it will be very troublesome to control them after their debut.

After hearing this, Hideki Hanyu began to explain, "Although the students of the Creation Camp will not be eliminated, there is a graduation system. The tentative time is two sessions. Students who cannot get a debut spot in both sessions will graduate from the Creation Camp. You can only sign graduates.”

The little goblin wrinkled his nose and said, "Is that so? I feel like you are still at a loss."

There are nine sections in the Creation Camp.

Twenty-seven students can be selected for the Ultimate Creation Camp. Every student who can be selected is definitely not low in popularity.

But those who can actually get a debut spot are only a fraction of this number.

And students who get a debut spot are not necessarily more popular than other students.

It doesn't necessarily mean that after debuting, it will be more popular than the students who didn't get a spot.

Looking at so many Neon draft competitions, the champions are drowned in the sea of ​​​​people, and there are many examples of players who were not popular during the competition but became popular.

Having said that, students who debut early may not necessarily be more popular than students who have been in the Creation Camp for two years.

"We can't take advantage of all the benefits. It's not a good thing to be alone in the entertainment industry. Besides, even if Yunshang Entertainment wants to sign so many students, it doesn't have that many resources."

Hideki Hanyu told the truth.

Not to mention signing them all, even if a batch is signed every year, the resources of Cloud Entertainment are not enough.

This is also the reason why each Creation Camp does not set a fixed debut quota.

If there are no outstanding students in the current class, then there will be no quotas for the entrance at all.

Or simply cancel the Ultimate Creation Camp that year.

While the two were talking, the car had already left the highway and officially entered the Hakone area.

The gathering was held at a hot spring resort in Hakone.

Hideki Hanyu can live in it directly now.

But he didn't, and instead asked Marco to drive to the edge of the town of Hakone.

There is a quiet courtyard, green plants and flowers, and an exquisite small courtyard in front of the bungalow.

Because of the advance call, a man in a suit was already waiting outside the door.

As soon as Hanyu Hideki got out of the car, he was greeted respectfully by the other party.

"Mr. Hanyu, President Yata asked me to wait for you here."

Hideki Hanyu ordered, "Open the door."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately took out the key and opened the wrought iron gate of the small courtyard, and walked inside with Hideki Hanyu.

As he walked, he also introduced the property information, "This property occupies an area..."

After visiting Hakone for a few days last time, Hanyu Hideki felt that this place was pretty good. When he returned, he asked Yada Yoshihiro to keep an eye on the properties here.

After Yada Ryohiro selected the house, he bought the house for him.

The original owner of this place planned to operate it as a high-end hot spring B&B.

Therefore, both the house and the courtyard are designed to be very exquisite and beautiful.

After Yada Yoshihiro bought it for Hanyu Hideki, he just arranged for someone to clean it up briefly before moving in directly.

It was the first time for Hanyu Hideki to come, so Yada Yoshihiro specially arranged for employees to receive him.

"Mr. Hanyu, there is a sightseeing car prepared by the president in the garage to facilitate your travel, and..."

After introducing the property, Yada Yoshihiro's employee handed all the keys to Hanyu Hideki and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Hanyu Hideki casually handed the gift to Marco beside him.

Marco is responsible for all his security work.

Although he trusted Yata Ryohiro, Marco did not trust others and would definitely find someone to change all the locks here.

At this time, the little fairy, who had already looked around the house, ran back excitedly and said, "Teacher, let's go to the hot spring behind the house."

However, Hanyu Hideki glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go eat first. I'm a little hungry."

"That's fine." The little goblin felt that she was also hungry.

Next, Hanyu Hideki personally drove the sightseeing car and drove several people towards Hakone's bustling business district.

Along the way, the little fairy who grew up in Kanagawa Prefecture, claiming to be a local, kept introducing Hakone to Hanyu Hideki.

As one of the favorite places to visit in the Tokyo area, Hakone is actually not complicated to say.

It is a tourist resort formed by the Hakone Waiwa Mountains surrounding a volcanic lake called Ashinoko. It has natural landscape resources such as mountains, rivers, lakes, and hot springs.

It covers an area of ​​just over 80 square kilometers and has a population of just over 10,000 people.

In later generations, in addition to being a tourist and health resort, this place is also rich in art and literature, with more than a dozen art museums of various sizes located here.

It’s just that in this day and age, most of those art museums have not yet been established.

Hideki Hanyu had no intention of hanging around, and led everyone to find a barbecue restaurant. After a simple lunch, he returned to his residence.

After returning to his residence, he complied with the goblin's request and went to the private hot spring behind the room together.

After soaking the body in the warm spring water, the fatigue from the bus ride from Tokyo was instantly gone.

However, late August is not the best time to visit Hakone.

Although in neon August has entered autumn.

But people don’t really feel autumn until September.

At least you can’t see the beautiful scenery of Hakone’s mountains covered with red leaves now.

If you come back later, you can not only enjoy the red leaves.

The temperature is suitable and bathing in the bath is the most comfortable.

However, he was not here for enjoyment, but for business, so naturally he couldn't care too much about it.

Anyway, seeing the little fairy smiling happily, he should be very satisfied.

The time comes in the afternoon.

Hanyu Hideki arranged for Ishihara Chie to take people to purchase ingredients, made clear soup hot pot by himself, and ate the beef while soaking in the hot springs.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat spicy food, but that others can't eat it, so he has to do it in order to take care of everyone.

But paired with the satay sauce he purchased from Southeast Asia, even the beef in clear soup will have a different taste.

While he was enjoying the delicious food, his assistant Ishihara Chie came over to tell him.

"Mr. Hanyu, Mr. Naito has sent someone to deliver the invitation."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Where are the people?"

"left already."

Ishihara Chie said and placed an invitation letter in front of Hanyu Hideki.

The invitations were beautifully made, with unique textured white paper embellished with gold thread and tied with red rope.

Hideki Hanyu put down his bowls and chopsticks, opened the invitation and took a look.

The first thing that catches the eye is the words [Neon Mental Image Chamber of Commerce].

Next to these words, it read 'Invitation to the Autumn Gathering of the 61st Year of Showa'.

Next, there was a series of pleasantries starting with "We sincerely invite Mr. Hideki Hanyu to participate...".

Only then did Hanyu Hideki finally know that Naito Kensaku had invited him to attend an autumn gathering held by an organization called the Neon Mental Image Chamber of Commerce.

The party lasts two days.

He participated as a temporary member introduced by Kensaku Naito.

Mental Image Chamber of Commerce?

Mental image, what is in the mind, the meaning of memory.

Hideki Hanyu had never heard of such an organization in his previous life or in this life.

Judging from the introduction on the invitation letter, this organization has been established for more than 40 years and is a business exchange organization.

The founders are either wealthy and well-known businessmen in Neon, or top-level dignitaries.

Judging from this, it should be a semi-secret chamber of commerce that will only be invited if the status and wealth reach a certain level.

Obviously, his current worth has been recognized by some people.

For the time being, it seemed that joining such a chamber of commerce would do no harm to him.

After all, in the business world, you can never have too many connections.

With this thought in mind, Hanyu Hideki put the invitation away.

Anyway, no matter what happens, everything will be revealed tomorrow.

Putting the party aside for the time being, Hanyu Hideki continued to enjoy the food.

Of course, after finishing the beef, he would not forget to taste the goblin.

After soaking in the hot spring, he was full of wine and food, and he tormented the little goblin in the bedroom for most of the night.

The next day, he was in high spirits and went out to attend a party.

The little goblin was too tired to wake up.

Driving a sightseeing car, we arrived at the hot spring resort Naito Kensaku had told him about before.

After explaining his purpose, the resort attendant took him to an independent courtyard in the resort.

Here, he showed his invitation letter and after checking his identity, he was respectfully invited in.

And that's not the end.

Next, I took a shower and changed clothes under the service of several beauties. I changed into a Japanese bathrobe and then entered the real venue.

At this time, a courtyard was built around a huge soup pool.

In the surrounding rooms, many people had already arrived.

Hanyu Hideki was looking curiously to see if there was anyone he knew.

Suddenly, a crisp voice came from not far away.

"President Hanyu, long time no see."

Hanyu Hideki turned around and saw a girl standing there.

The girl is also wearing a Japanese yukata with a knot tied around her waist.

She is not tall, but her legs exposed under her yukata are white and straight, with perfect leg shape, not at all like the bow legs of many neon girls.

But the most attractive thing about the other party is not his beautiful legs.

Instead, she has a slightly childish and beautiful girlish face, but her chest is extraordinarily majestic.

A little ravine appeared from the top of the yukata, which made the scumbag couldn't help but want to explore how deep the invisible place was.

However, although Hanyu Hideki's eyes were a little uncontrollable, he still said hello immediately.

"Ms. Naito, I didn't expect to see you here."

That's right, this girl is none other than Naito Kensaku's niece, Naito Haruko, an old acquaintance.

"That's because Uncle Naito can't come because he has something to do, so please ask me to receive you."

While Naito Haruko was speaking, she had already walked up to Hanyu Hideki.

Although the girl had a shallow, gentle and polite smile on her face.

But for some reason, Hanyu Hideki always felt that this smile was a bit weird.

To be precise, it's a bit fake.

It's like wearing a fake smile mask on your face.

Perhaps the eldest lady of such a big family has etched this etiquette on her face.

No matter whether you are happy or not, you can laugh out of instinct.

Hanyu Hideki ignored the fake smile and continued, "It seems that Ms. Naito is very familiar with this party."

"I used to attend it a lot when I was a kid, but after my grandfather stopped coming a few years ago, I stopped coming."

Naito Haruko said and made an invitation gesture to Hanyu Hideki, "President Hanyu, let me take you to meet the person in charge of this autumn gathering. By the way, I will also tell you some common sense here."

"Then please leave it to Miss Naito."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he followed Naito Haruko.

Next, Hideki Hanyu briefly learned some things about the Mental Image Chamber of Commerce from Haruko Naito.

In other words, this is a loose business communication organization with a certain threshold.

The purpose of its establishment is naturally to expand contacts and exchange knowledge.

If a new person wants to join, in addition to their own status and worth, they must also be introduced by an old member.

Temporary status invitations can then be issued with the approval of a committee of the Chamber of Commerce to attend gatherings held annually in the spring and fall.

After attending the party, as long as the performance is approved by the committee, you can obtain full membership status.

Next, Hideki Hanyu was introduced by Haruko Naito.

I got to know several committee members who were present at this autumn gathering.

Some of these people were known to Hanyu Hideki, and some were completely unfamiliar to them.

However, after listening to the introduction, he found that among them there were experts and scholars from well-known universities.

Of course, a newcomer may not understand his background very well outside of being an expert or scholar.

As the person in charge of this autumn gathering, they also introduced Hideki Hanyu.

The first day of the autumn gathering is time for free activities and exchanges.

Hideki Hanyu can choose to stay here or leave early.

The second day of the autumn gathering was a public meeting for business cooperation.

Members are required to participate unless there is an emergency.

Especially for temporary invitees like Hanyu Hideki, if he does not participate, there is basically no hope of officially joining the membership.

After bidding farewell to several committee members, Naito Haruko also told Hanyu Hideki something privately.

That is, if Hanyu Hideki wants to join the association, there is another implicit condition, which is that he must make a contribution to the business cooperation public meeting the next day.

By the hot spring pool, Hanyu Hideki, who was soaking his feet in the hot spring pool, asked something strange after hearing the word contribution.

"Contribution? What contribution do I want to make?"

"Some people will sell off some assets that are more troublesome and difficult to deal with outside at public meetings. At this time, it is time for newcomers like President Hanyu to make contributions."

As soon as Naito Haruko said this, Hanyu Hideki immediately frowned.

He knew that any business organization with such thresholds could only be friendly to new members.

If he thought more deeply, I'm afraid Naito Kensaku didn't have any good intentions in inviting him to this party.

It can even be understood as a harvest of newly emerging rich people like him by the neon traditional aristocracy.

At this time, Naito Haruko said with profound meaning, "President Hanyu, don't underestimate the Heart Elephant Chamber of Commerce. Integrating into this circle will be of great benefit to you, but if you want the benefits, you must pay a price."

"What good can I do?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"I heard that President Hanyu's Yunshang Entertainment is making an acquisition. The acquisition target seems to be called Tsutaya Bookstore, but it has encountered a little trouble. Ito-Yokado seems to be very interested in that bookstore."

As soon as Naito Haruko said this, Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and admitted indifferently, "That's right."

It is no secret that Yunshang Entertainment acquired Tsutaya Bookstore and started a battle with Ito-Yokado, which was invited by the founder of Tsutaya Bookstore, Masuda Muneaki.

Neon Financial Media has reported many times.

Let alone Naito Haruko, even ordinary people can say a few words.

Naito Haruko said, "Ito Yokado is also a member of the Mental Image Chamber of Commerce. If President Hanyu can join the Mental Image Chamber of Commerce, the committee can help you mediate this matter."

"What I want is not mediation. I am determined to win Tsutaya Bookstore."

Hideki Hanyu has a tough attitude.

Especially Hanyu Hideki is wearing a bathrobe at this time, and the angular muscles are vaguely visible in the open area in front of his body. Combined with his tough attitude, he is even more imposing.

Naito Haruko couldn't help but peek a few times, her pretty face blushing slightly.
