Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 537: There is no conflict that cannot be resolved over a round of wine.
The sudden entrustment of Yoshioka Shota to Hanyu Hideki was actually not complicated at all.

That is the Italian restaurant opened by Shotara Yoshioka, Shinsuke Ito, Asako Hirohashi and others, with Kyoko Koizumi, something went wrong this morning.

It’s not complicated to say, it’s still related to the beautiful European chef Benedetta.

Yoshioka Shota wants to stay and fly with each other, but Benedetta only wants a platonic love.

The unexpected relationship ended in vain. Shota Yoshioka apologized to his wife and returned to his family after being forgiven.

Then the restaurant where he and Benedetta collaborated suddenly became a little awkward.

The last time Hanyu Hideki and Yoshioka Shota met in America's New York, they talked about this matter. Yoshioka Shota meant that he didn't want to fight anymore and was ready to quit the restaurant business.

Then today, Yoshioka Shota called Shinsuke Ito, Asako Hirohashi, and Kyoko Koizumi to the restaurant and expressed his thoughts.

Hanyu Hideki didn't know how to talk about it specifically. Anyway, he learned from Yoshioka Shota's phone call that he was very unhappy with Ito Shinsuke because of this incident.

Seeing that he could no longer handle it, he decisively asked Hideki Hanyu for help.

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu was actually a little baffled.

Several good friends have known each other for so many years. They are about to enter their sixth year of business. They have built hundreds of billions of dollars in business without any quarrel, but they started to quarrel when they opened a restaurant.

In his opinion, the worth of a few of them shouldn't be quarreled over one restaurant, not even over ten.

Setagaya District, Sangen Chaya area.

Hanyu Hideki's Mercedes-Benz G had just parked at the door when he saw the door of the restaurant with the name "Vestigia" written on it. Asako Hirohashi was holding a handheld phone and talking about work with someone.

Next to this strong woman with a strong aura, Koizumi Kyoko, who has always been eccentric, was as silent as a quail, and stood there cautiously like a quail.

Looking at it like that, Hideki Hanyu wanted to laugh.

This little goblin was usually not so well-behaved in front of him, but he didn't expect to be so afraid of Hirohashi Asako.

But think about it, this is normal.

As the head of Yunshang Entertainment Group, Hirohashi Asako is a woman, but her bold style and tough attitude are well-known in the entertainment industry. She is a veritable super woman.

Even in Neon, a society where men are superior to women, thanks to the sudden rise of feminist thought during the bubble period, Asako Hirohashi has become one of the representatives respected by the feminist group.

In the entertainment industry and the business world, Asako Hirohashi's popularity is actually higher than that of Hideki Hanyu, the "hands-off shopkeeper".

It would be strange if Kyoko Koizumi could face this kind of industry boss and super strong woman calmly.

What's more, Asako Hirohashi is the niece of her boss, Ikuo Shufang.

In fact, speaking of it, the little elf is not completely afraid of Hirohashi Asako.

The more feeling in my heart is actually a kind of awe and worship.

This is also how many women feel about Hirohashi Asako.

Hideki Hanyu has many fans among women.

But among professional women, Hirohashi Asako also has many admirers because of the praise of feminist groups.

It's just that for Hirohashi Asako, a strong woman, not only does she look down on the demonized women's rights in today's neon society, but she also dismisses whether anyone admires her.

On this point, Asako Hirohashi and Eri Kitahara have exactly the same philosophy.

From the perspective of strong women like them, rights are earned by oneself, and just shouting slogans in an attempt to get others to give alms is simply a fantasy.

What's more, today's neon feminism has gradually gone astray, being completely coerced by consumerism, completely tying money and love together.

This made Asako Hirohashi and others even more disdainful.

Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but think divergently, and the two women at the door of the restaurant also saw Hanyu Hideki's arrival, and each showed different reactions.

The little elf first looked happy and showed an expression as if he had seen a savior. He couldn't help but want to come over and seek comfort from Hanyu Hideki.

But before she even moved, she suddenly remembered something, and unconsciously looked at Asako Hirohashi next to her. Finally, she resisted the impulse, stopped, and then looked pitifully like a kitten. With Hideki Hanyu.

As for Hirohashi Asako, after seeing Hideki Hanyu, she immediately apologized to the person on the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone and strode to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-san is finally here. I'll leave those two fools to you to deal with. Yunshang Entertainment still has a bunch of things waiting for me to deal with. I'll take the first step. You can ask Miss Kyoko for the specific situation."

Although Hirohashi Asako said he wanted to leave, he still sighed helplessly before leaving.

"Hey! I will not participate in this kind of partnership business without anyone taking the lead in the future. It is better to cooperate with you, Hanyu-san, to save your worries."

Hanyu Hideki said with a smile, "Okay, Asako-san, stop being sentimental and hurry up and get busy with your work. Leave this place to me."

He could actually understand the meaning of Hirohashi Asako's words.

When friends go into business together, whether they can make money is of course a very important issue.

But the most terrible thing is that everyone has rights, but no one takes the lead. Everyone has the right to speak.

They all want to do something, but they just can't do anything.

Looking at Yunshang Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu has absolute control.

Although he rarely manages the daily affairs of the company now, he can make the final decision at critical moments and prevent everyone from getting into meaningless disputes.

On the side of the road, Hirohashi Asako, who was busy with work, did not be polite to her friends. After a brief farewell, she got in the car and left without stopping.

Seeing Asako Hirohashi's car disappear, Kyoko Koizumi, who had been holding back for a long time, trotted over and hugged Hideki Hanyu's arm on the street.

"Teacher, you are finally here. Supervisor Ito and President Yoshioka had a really fierce quarrel just now."

After hearing what the little goblin said, Hanyu Hideki was not in a hurry to go in. He first asked outside the restaurant door, "Please tell me exactly what happened."

“President Yoshioka informed me yesterday that he wanted me to come to the restaurant to discuss matters today. After we all arrived, President Yoshioka said that he planned to withdraw his shares from the restaurant.

He said that if someone is willing to buy his shares, he will sell them at the original investment price without considering any appreciation.

Then Director Ito said that President Yoshioka was a deserter and how about abandoning his friends for a woman. When Ms. Benedetta heard what Director Ito said, she left with a strange expression.

President Yoshioka saw this and said some unhappy words, and then the two of them started to quarrel over each other's words. "

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he asked curiously, "Didn't Asako-san break up the fight?"

"Of course President Hirohashi persuaded them, but she just scolded Director Ito and President Yoshioka. After the two stopped arguing, she said she didn't want to deal with these two idiots, so she went out and made a phone call.

I felt a little embarrassed staying inside, so I followed him out. "

After Koizumi finished his answer today, Hideki Hanyu shook his head helplessly, thinking that beauty is indeed a curse.

Yoshioka Shota's messy troubles are not over yet. The troubles he had caused at home have now spread to his business partnership with his friends.

But although he was complaining in his heart, he was also relieved.

After all, it wasn't the serious contradiction he was worried about.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Koizumi Kyoko, "Let's go in."

Entering the restaurant, he found that it was still open. Some customers could be seen eating on the first floor, and the attendance rate was not low.

When the restaurant waiter saw Hanyu Hideki, he immediately understood what he was doing and took him directly to the third floor.

There were no guests on the third floor at this time, only two men sitting on each side, far apart.

After Hanyu Hideki saw the two of them, he teased with a playful smile on his face.

"Hey! I thought I would see some excitement when I came up, but it turned out that the quarrel was over. Do you want to continue? I will be the judge for you."

Naturally, Shinsuke Ito and Shota Yoshioka noticed his appearance.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions on the two people's faces suddenly looked a little awkward.

After all, Hanyu Hideki's teasing with a smile on his face was more embarrassing for them than Hirohashi Asako's scolding.

Among the four partners of the Yunshang Department, Hanyu Hideki is the youngest, but he is recognized as the backbone.

On weekdays, as long as you express your opinions, everyone will take them very seriously.

Today, they had a problem of their own, but they had to be solved by Hanyu Hideki, who was younger than them. How could they not be embarrassed?

Seeing the change in their expressions, Hanyu Hideki changed his tone and said, "You two are obviously almost eighty years old together, but your temper and mind make me feel like a child."

After speaking, he first looked at Shinsuke Ito, "Isn't it fun to attend the film festival yesterday? I saw that when you finished, you seemed to have left with the actress named Yumi. It seems that you will have to talk to Nana-chan about this another day. thing.”

As soon as he said these words, Ito Shinsuke couldn't hold it in any longer and said with a wry smile, "Hanyu-san, I know I was wrong."

"Haha, Ito-san, you also don't like my involvement in your feelings. Why don't you understand Yoshioka-san?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

Shinsuke Ito seemed to want to say something, but in the end he hesitated and just sighed.

To put it bluntly, the two men didn't have any deep hatred. It was just because they had a quarrel and they refused to give in to each other. The quarrel became more and more intense, and finally they couldn't stand each other.

After Ito Shinsuke became obviously loose, Hanyu Hideki looked at Yoshioka Shota again.

"Yoshioka-san, didn't we have a good chat last time in New York? You also said that you should be cautious in handling this matter. Why didn't you know to ventilate it to everyone in advance? Suddenly you called everyone and announced it directly. It's okay for everyone not to understand. normal."

Yoshioka Shota was older after all. After hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully enough."

Yoshioka Shota took the initiative to express his apology, and Ito Shinsuke couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "Yoshioka-san, actually I didn't consider your feelings and said some things that I shouldn't have said."

Seeing that the relationship between the two had eased, Hanyu Hideki had a smile in his eyes.

For him, a restaurant or a beautiful chef is not important at all.

What matters is the relationship between two friends.

As important pillars of the Yunshang system, it would be really ridiculous if there was a rift between the two of them because of such a trivial matter.

If an opponent from the Yunshang system knew about it, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams at night.

The relationship between the two has eased, and now it’s time to resolve the cause of the problem.

Hanyu Hideki found an unoccupied table and sat down, and then said to the two of them, "Okay, you both can sit over here. I'm tired of talking from so far away."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, the two men borrowed donkeys to go downhill and sat on either side of Hanyu Hideki, one on the left and the other on the right.

"That's right. You are all men. It's just a small problem. The worst thing you can do is find a ring and have a fight. After the fight, you'll feel better."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, the two people immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

"We are not violent people, so why should we solve the problem through fighting?"

"That's right, and I don't think fighting will solve the problem."

After the two of them finished talking, Hanyu Hideki said with a smile, "Haha, now we are in the same camp. Since we don't want to fight, let's talk about other ways to solve the problem."

After speaking, he looked at Yoshioka Shota and said, "Yoshioka-san, please tell me what you think."

Yoshioka Shota said, "I will definitely sell my restaurant shares. This is the condition I promised my wife."

After Yoshioka Shota finished speaking, Ito Shinsuke also said, "Then I'll just sell it. If I said that before, I won't be able to cooperate with Miss Benedetta."

After listening to the two people's opinions, Hanyu Hideki slapped the table and said, "It turns out that it can be solved so easily. Well, you two don't need to find other buyers, just sell all your shares to me."

"Sell it to you?" Shota Yoshioka didn't expect Hideki Hanyu to say this.

Shinsuke Ito next to him also didn't expect it.

After all, when they wanted to invest in the restaurant, Hanyu Hideki said he would not participate, but now he wants to buy their shares.

"Can't you?"

Hideki Hanyu shrugged as he said, "I suddenly want to buy a restaurant for fun, and I think Ms. Benedetta is a very good collaborator, but I have to agree in advance that the price will be calculated according to the market price. I won’t take advantage of my friends.”

The reason why he said this was because he wanted to cut through the mess quickly and did not want to continue to affect the relationship between friends because of this trivial matter.

After all, as long as the restaurant shares are not sold for a day, the matter is not over.

It's just an investment in a restaurant, it's just a small amount of money to him.

Besides, as far as he knew, the restaurant's profitability was very good, so buying it was not considered a loss-making deal.

Moreover, after taking over the shares of Shinsuke Ito and Shota Yoshioka, he became the largest shareholder of this restaurant, and he could also take care of Kyoko Koizumi.

"Of course, I have no objection to selling it to Hanyu-san." Shinsuke Ito said first.

"Then let's do it." Yoshioka Shota also agreed.

Seeing that the two agreed, Hanyu Hideki knew that the matter was over and said no more.

He will naturally arrange for his assistant to handle the next specific transaction. Seeing that it was not early, and thinking of his date with Yasushi Akimoto in the evening, Hideki Hanyu simply invited the two of them, "Just in time, I have a date with Yasushi Akimoto for a drink tonight, why don't you two go too? We haven't relaxed together for a long time. "

In Hanyu Hideki's view, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved by a meal of flower wine.

After drinking too much, we talked it over, and if the female publicist showed some gentleness and care, there would be no unresolved knots.

Ito Shinsuke was moved when he heard this, but Yoshioka Shota hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Hanyu Hideki did not wait for the two to refuse, put his arms around their shoulders and said, "Then it's settled, let's go now."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked downstairs.

Yoshioka Shota and Ito Shinsuke looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads, but finally followed.

Koizumi Kyoko, who was originally waiting downstairs, saw Hanyu Hideki coming downstairs, and immediately walked up and asked, "Teacher, where should we go next?"

Hanyu Hideki answered directly, "Yoshioka-san, I, and Ito-san are going to go to Akimoto Yasu to drink flower wine. Are you sure you want to go too?"

Koizumi Kyoko said with some disappointment, "Then I'd better go home."

At this time, Hanyu Hideki said, "Akina is also in Tokyo. Ask her to go to the Master House and wait for me. I will try to come back as soon as possible after talking about the matter."

When the little goblin who was originally a little disappointed heard this, his expression immediately turned gloomy, "Then I'll go find Akina right now. The teacher must come back early in the evening."

"I will."

On the roadside, Hanyu Hideki watched the little goblin drive away in a Porsche. He waved to his two friends and said, "It's time for us to set off. Our destination is Kabukicho..."

Yoshioka Shota and Ito Shinsuke expressed their knowledge and left in the car one after another.

Just when Hanyu Hideki was about to board the Mercedes-Benz G and follow the two of them.

Suddenly, Benedetta, whom she had not seen before, trotted out of the restaurant behind her.

From a distance, he shouted to Hideki Hanyu, "Mr. Hanyu, please wait a moment."

Hideki Hanyu had no choice but to stop and wait for Benedetta to come over.

But before the beautiful chef could speak first, Hideki Hanyu spoke, "Ms. Benedetta, I have contacted the people you asked me to help in France, but they don't seem to be at home and no one answered the phone."

Benedetta said quickly, "I came to Mr. Hanyu just for this matter. First of all, thank you for your help. My friend's family was not in Paris because of something. I'm really sorry that I forgot to tell you."

Hanyu Hideki said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. I have to go to France anyway. I'll contact them when they come back."

Benedetta asked, "When is Mr. Hanyu going to France?"

"The flight is tomorrow night." Hanyu Hideki said.

"I wonder if I can take Hanyu Hideki's plane to France? I haven't been back to Europe for a long time and I want to take some time off."

The last time Benedetta went to Hawaii, she took Hideki Hanyu's private jet.

Hideki Hanyu said, "Of course there is no problem, but what will happen to the restaurant kitchen after you leave?"

"The apprentices I have taught are all able to work independently. There will be no problem if I leave for a short time."

After Benedetta finished speaking, she remembered what happened just now and said with an apologetic expression, "About Mr. Yoshioka..."

Hideki Hanyu raised his hand to interrupt, "I have already taken care of the matter. Ms. Benedetta doesn't need to say anything."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly and said, "Oh, by the way, I have bought Yoshioka-san and Ito-san's restaurant shares. From now on, we will be partners. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

"I think it will." Benedetta smiled faintly.

Benedetta has always felt that if Shota Yoshioka had been replaced by Hideki Hanyu, their relationship would never be what it is now.

This is not because of Hideki Hanyu’s appearance.

It's because of Hanyu Hideki's attitude towards feelings.

Sometimes, loving is enough, so why do we have to be together.

Once the haziness between each other is brought closer, all the beauty is destined to disappear.

After confirming the departure time for the next day with Benedetta, Hanyu Hideki drove away, caught up with two friends in Kabukicho, met up with Yasushi Akimoto, and entered the nightclub that he had already booked.

Next, when the nightlife started, under the stimulation of drinks and the soft words of the female publicist, Yoshioka Shota and Ito Shinsuke completely resolved their differences and started fooling around with the female publicist arm in arm.

As for Hanyu Hideki, he was listening to Akimoto Yasu's distress.

As he expected, Akimoto Yasushi was indeed involved in the "Kitten Club" incident.

Hideki Hanyu thought that "Kitten Club" could last until the end of the year at least.

But now according to Akimoto Yasushi, the ratings of "Kitten Club" have dropped seriously, and the members are no longer popular. At most, they will last until next month and then completely disband.

In another time and space, Kitten Club performed its final performance at Yoyogi Stadium on September 9 this year, and then announced its dissolution.

Although this time and space only lasted for one more month because of his butterfly effect.

"Then after the kitten club is disbanded, does Akimoto-san have any new plans?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"I haven't decided yet, but I've been really exhausted for the past two years for the Kitten Club, so I plan to take a good rest, take Asako around, and maybe settle overseas for a while."

Qiu Yuanyasu said with a somewhat depressed tone.

"You should have a good rest, but there is no need for Akimoto-san to be sad because a show is over. I still believe in Akimoto-san's talent. If Akimoto-san has any new ideas, the Yunshang Department will always be your backing."

Nowadays, Yasushi Akimoto has long been recognized by the industry as a member of the Yunshang family because of his relationship with "Kitten Club".

Therefore, it seems very normal for Hanyu Hideki to say this.

With Hanyu Hideki's comfort and support, Akimoto Yasu felt much better. He temporarily put aside his worries and focused his attention on the female publicist.

Everyone was busy and it was already twelve o'clock at midnight when it ended.

Shinsuke Ito and Shota Yoshioka, who had reconciled, got drunk after a few hours and were sent home by Hanyu Hideki.

As for Qiu Pangpang, this guy was not drunk, but he hooked up with a beautiful woman and left after the show.

The most sober Hideki Hanyu still followed the old rules. After paying the bill, he ignored the eager eyes of the female publicist and got into the Rolls-Royce driven by Marco and returned to the Master House.

……

slam-la-

In the backyard of Wanshiwu House, Hanyu Hideki, who was wearing a bathrobe, had just approached the hot spring pool when he heard the sound of water being stirred from inside.

What followed was the sound of women chatting.

When he finally walked to the hot spring pool, he saw two beautiful figures playing in the water in the mist.

Such a scene of a beauty taking a bath immediately made the scumbag "tick his index finger."

Although he was not sexually interested in the female publicist, after a few hours, he had accumulated a lot of anger through teasing.

Now that there are two beauties in front of him, if he can still hold back, he won't call them men.

Especially when the little goblin saw him, she said in a charming voice, "Teacher, come..."

He immediately felt like Tang Monk had entered the Pansi Cave and was seduced by the female seductress taking a bath.

But it is a pity that he is not Tang Seng.

So what happens next is obvious.

Amid the sound of splashing water and the sweet voice of the beauty, the scumbag's wonderful nightlife has just begun.
-
September 27th.

Hanyu Hideki, who saw off Akina Nakamori and the goblin in the morning, contacted Eiichi Jimbo by phone, and met with Yada Yoshihiro who came to report on the work.

After confirming that the funds were OK, he contacted the helper he was looking for in the United States and asked him to take action.

This powerful man who is now well-known on Wall Street and will be even more famous in the future, at this point in time, has lost his job due to the interest rate changes in America last year and is sitting idle at home thinking about his next step in starting a business.

The reason why Hideki Hanyu knew each other was because of the big-mouthed boyfriend of Monica Bellucci's cousin Federica, Billy Lynn.

There is no need to elaborate on the specific process. In short, the other party had nothing to do, agreed to Hanyu Hideki's request, and decided to use his own connections to help.

Of course, this is not because the other party is a good old man.

Just because the reward Hanyu Hideki promised was high enough.

After dealing with these matters, it was time for Hanyu Hideki to set off.

Haneda International Airport.

He took the accompanying team and flew towards France on the Yunshang, together with Benedetta who had been waiting for a long time.

The next day, they arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport on time.

After getting off the plane, Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to Benedetta, and then went to the headquarters of AI International.

There, he met Théo Dubois. In addition to learning about the current situation of the stock market, he also informed him that the funds would be available within three days.

Hanyu Hideki asked Théo Dubois to launch a fierce attack immediately after the funds were in place. He was almost the same as the LVMH group. It was time to let the other party know that he was wrong.

Only if the LVMH group cannot hold on, Bernard Arnault, who Hanyu Hideki is looking forward to, may end.

After Hanyu Hideki finished his explanation, Théo Dubois also told him something.

That is on Saturday, October 3rd, Théo Dubois's father will hold a party at his home and invite Hideki Hanyu to attend.

Hanyu Hideki, who originally wanted to get to know Théo Dubois's father, naturally agreed.

After finishing these tasks, Hanyu Hideki returned to the hotel.

Just when he was thinking whether to settle dinner at the hotel or go out to find a restaurant, he unexpectedly received a call from Italy.

The caller was none other than Monica Bellucci.

Hanyu Hideki asked on the phone, “What do you want from me now?

Qiuhua's answer on the other end of the phone was.

"BOSS, Wendelin Wiedeking wants to meet you at Lamborghini's headquarters."

"What does he want to do?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

This is a critical moment for France, and he will not leave easily unless necessary.

Monica Bellucci said, "He wants to talk to you about the future of Lamborghini."

"It seems that during this period he has almost figured out Lamborghini."

After Hanyu Hideki said this, he began to think.

The funds will be received within three days, so nothing major will happen during these three days. A temporary trip to Italy is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said to Monica Bellucci, "Let Wendelin Wiedeking get ready. I will set off tomorrow and only give him one day."

"Okay, I'll notify him immediately." Monica Bellucci replied.

After hanging up the phone, Hanyu Hideki felt his hungry stomach. He was too lazy to go out to find food, so he was going to call the hotel front desk to order a meal.

As a result, before dialing the number, the phone rang again.

When I picked it up, it was Benedetta who had parted at the airport before.

The other party told him on the phone that he had met his relatives in Paris and hoped to bring his relatives to visit Hanyu Hideki.

It was just a matter of finding a job, so Hideki Hanyu would not refuse.

But he had no choice but to promise Monica Bellucci that he would go to Italy tomorrow, so he could only let Benedetta wait.

After ending the call with Benedetta, Hanyu Hideki thought to himself that the phone would be gone now and he could finally order food.

Indeed, the phone did not ring again.

But there was a knock at the door.

Helpless, Hideki Hanyu opened the door and took a look, and found assistant Kaoru Chiba standing outside.

Without waiting for Hanyu Hideki to ask, Chiba Kaoru took the initiative to report.

"Teacher Hanyu, is there a customer at the front desk looking for you?"
