Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 609: It's not about good or evil, it's all about interests

When Hideki Hanyu said his name, his voice was flat and emotionless.

But when that name fell into Nojima Shinji's ears, it was like a thunderclap from the sky, a bolt from the blue. He sobered up completely in an instant, and only unspeakable panic remained in his heart.

And Nojima Shinji was not the only one who was awakened instantly from his drunkenness.

The friends who were invited by Nojima Shinji today are basically all practitioners in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Like Nojima Shinji, they are all familiar with the name of Hideki Hanyu, the big boss at the top of the industry pyramid.

After hearing Hanyu Hideki introduce himself, these people immediately tried to carefully identify the person under the dim light.

The moment they saw clearly, several people stood up.

"Mr. Hanyu..."

"Mr. Hanyu..."

Even some of the drunken people were swaying and trying to mumble a greeting to Hanyu Hideki.

Because they all know what Hideki Hanyu represents to their industry.

Don’t think that they are not employees of the Yunshang Group.

But after what happened tonight, if Hanyu Hideki wanted to cause trouble for them or do something against them, no force would dare to protect them.

As for Shinjima Nojima, who was sitting in the middle of the booth, he naturally knew all this.

He instinctively stood up and wanted to greet, but when he stood up he realized that there was someone in his arms.

When he thought of the identity of the person in his arms, Nojima Shinji's face turned even paler.

Shinji Nojima really wanted to push the girl in his arms away, but he didn't dare to do so. He was caught in a dilemma.

And at this moment, Hideki Hanyu's voice rang out.

"Why, are the artists in our company comfortable to hold?"

Ignoring those who greeted him, Hanyu Hideki took a few steps forward and sat on the sofa in the booth, crossed his legs and looked at Nojima Shinji.

As soon as he sat down, the people in the booth fled as if some terrifying monster was approaching and stood respectfully in front of Hanyu Hideki.

Although they were so frightened that their legs were shaking, they hated Nojima Shinji who had invited them here to death and wanted to disappear from here immediately.

But the problem is that no one dared to leave until Hideki Hanyu gave the order.

Inside the booth, seeing that everyone around him had fled, coupled with what Hanyu Hideki had just said, Nojima Shinji dared not hesitate any longer.

He immediately dropped Noriko Sakai, who was in his arms, and let the dazed girl fall on the sofa in the booth. Then he and the others stood respectfully in front of Hideki Hanyu.

Facing Hideki Hanyu in front of him, Shinji Nojima was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Hideki Hanyu ignored Nojima Shinji for the time being and glanced at Noriko Sakai who was lying on the sofa.

Apart from being unconscious and looking drunk, the girl's clothes were fine, so it was clear that no accident that he didn't want to see had happened.

Withdrawing his gaze, Hanyu Hideki turned to look at Nojima Shinji.

"It seems that you know her identity and that she is an artist from Yunshang Entertainment."

"I…I…I'm so sorry."

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's cold tone, Nojima Shinji tried hard to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

In the end, he simply apologized directly, then rushed in front of Hanyu Hideki and knelt down.

But when Nojima Shinji suddenly pounced in front of him, Hanyu Hideki was frightened and kicked him out instinctively.

In a moment of carelessness, he used a little too much force and kicked this weak guy, causing him to roll on the ground. He hit the seat in front with a bang, causing several screams.

"Asshole! You were just talking when you were supposed to. Why are you kneeling all of a sudden? You scared me!"

Hanyu Hideki said unhappily.

After seeing Nojima Shinji being kicked away by him, he didn't dare to say anything. He hurried back and knelt in front of him again.

Hanyu Hideki pointed at Noriko Sakai who was lying on the sofa next to him and asked, "What's wrong with her? Is she drunk?"

"I'm not drunk, I'm... I'm..."

Shinji Nojima hesitated, and dared not speak out in a panic-stricken tone.

"Speak..." Hanyu Hideki said in a cold tone.

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Nojima Shinji could only bite the bullet and say, "We added something to her water when we were having dinner before."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki sneered.

"Haha! You guys have learned the Korean tricks ahead of time. Oh... maybe the Koreans stole them from Japan."

In the era when Hideki Hanyu traveled through, Korean men overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, had a very disgusting behavior.

They would invite local young women, drug them, get them drunk and then commit sexual acts against them. They would also film the entire process and post it online to show off.

There are also many women from China who have suffered overseas.

And these scumbags are the Korean Oppas in the minds of women who have been brainwashed by Korean dramas.

All I can say is that you will not survive if you do it yourself.

The overly safe environment in China has caused many Chinese people to lose their vigilance and perception of danger.

This world is more dangerous than it appears.

In the ranking of the world's safest cities compiled by the so-called "authoritative organizations" overseas in later generations, not a single domestic city made it into the top ten. Even the crime capital of Chicago was ranked eleventh, surpassing all domestic cities.

Are foreign institutions discriminating against domestic people?

Of course there is that element.

But perhaps a more important reason is that foreigners simply cannot imagine and find it hard to believe that the urban security situation in the country is real.

If a fight breaks out in China at night, it might become a hot topic on the next day.

But in foreign countries, if a shooting does not kill or injure a few people, the media will not report it.

Of course, if you say that this ranking also includes economic security, food safety, and drug safety.

Haha...it's a capitalist society overseas, and the power of interest groups is beyond imagination. Many things that are banned in the country are legal for use.

That certain Feishen cult may be able to fool ordinary people in China, but if it really does that overseas, it will probably be "killed by suicide" by the interest groups after just a few days.

Boeing whistleblower finds out.

Let's take a look at the sins that America has committed as a major exporter of blood products, and how many people in Britain, Japan and other countries have been infected with the disease as a result.

In this day and age, if Hideki Hanyu were to go to the hospital, he would rather die than use blood medical products from America.

The higher his position, the more Hanyu Hideki feels that the people around him are not human.

As for what Hanyu Hideki said, it was obvious that no one in front of him had any idea what it meant.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu would not explain.

He glanced at Nojima Shinji who was kneeling in front of him, and the other people standing, and asked in a cold tone, "So, you all drugged her together?"

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, the people standing there hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands, explaining in panic, "It's not us. We were directly invited here by Nojima-san."

After hearing these people's explanation, Hanyu Hideki lowered his head to look at Nojima Shinji and continued to ask in a cold tone, "So you did it alone?"

"No, no."

Nojima denied it flatly, and then explained, "Although I brought the medicine, someone else helped me to administer it."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Who? Tell me clearly."

But then, Hanyu Hideki seemed to have thought of something, and without waiting for Nojima Shinji to speak, he waved his hands to the people standing in front of him, "You have nothing to do now, get out of here."

"Thank you, President Hanyu! Thank you, President Hanyu!"

When the few people heard what Hanyu Hideki said, they immediately thanked him as if they had been pardoned, and then they all ran away impatiently.

He even bumped into other guests because he walked too fast, causing a lot of cursing in the nightclub.

Hanyu Hideki didn't care about the noise. After those people left, he said to Nojima Shinji, "Talk now."

"It was Kudo Shizuka who drugged me."

The name that Nojima Shinji said was exactly what Hanyu Hideki expected.

This is also the reason why he asked those people to leave.

No matter how he criticized Kudo Shizuka afterwards, that was an internal matter of Yunshang Entertainment, but the news could not be allowed to spread to the outside.

At this time, Nojima Shinji's explanation continued.

"A long time ago, I once pursued Shizuka Kudo, but she rejected me. But afterwards she said she could introduce other girls to me."

"So, she introduced Noriko Sakai to you?"

"Yes, but after we met, our relationship developed very slowly due to work reasons, and Kudo Shizuka was helping me during this period.

At first, Kudo Shizuka just tried to arrange for us to meet, but recently, seeing that the results were not good, she suggested that I use some other means.

I said I had connections abroad and could buy some hallucinogenic drugs, but it was inconvenient for me to do it myself, so Shizuka Kudo said she could help.

Then today, while we were having dinner together, she helped me drug Noriko Sakai.

She originally suggested that I take Noriko Sakai home or to the hotel directly, but I wanted to show off in front of my friends, so I brought Noriko Sakai here first.

Less than half an hour after I sat down, you showed up.

I'm very sorry, I know I did something very stupid today, but I was also bewitched by Shizuka Kudo. If it weren't for her, I would never have met Noriko Sakai, and I would never have done what I did today.

I hope President Hanyu can forgive me..."

Watching Nojima Shinji constantly begging for an apology, Hanyu Hideki said nothing, but just sighed secretly.

At this time, Shinji Nojima is trying to shift the blame to Shizuka Kudo as much as possible. These words are definitely exaggerated, and this man is not as innocent as he says.

But no matter what, the role played by Shizuka Kudo in this matter is not innocent.

The words fame and fortune can actually distort the nature of a young girl to such an extent.

Although Hideki Hanyu had anticipated this and tried his best to look at the matter from a utilitarian perspective, from the perspective of a beneficiary, he still couldn't avoid feeling angry in his heart.

In this case, we can only say that although he is gradually moving closer to being a standard capitalist, he has not completely lost his humanity.

The growth environment and life experiences in his previous life are still working hard to anchor his three views.

He held out his hand to Marco who was standing next to him and said, "Give me the phone."

Marco said nothing, but silently took out his mobile phone and handed it to Hanyu Hideki.

After taking the phone that felt like a brick, Hanyu Hideki's hand couldn't help but feel heavy. He really couldn't get used to the weight of this phone every time he used it.

Thinking about the history of mobile phone development, it seems that Motorola will launch its first flip phone MicroTAC 9800X next year.

Although the MicroTAC 9800X is still a big thing compared to later mobile phones, it is undoubtedly much stronger than the brick in his hand now, so he must replace it as soon as possible.

(MicroTAC 9800X·Photo)
Picking up the phone, Hanyu Hideki was about to dial when he heard quick footsteps approaching.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice said to him viciously, "Asshole! You are here to cause trouble. Do you know the consequences of causing trouble here?"

Hideki Hanyu looked up and found that the person who spoke was indeed the security guard who had stopped him at the door before.

"I don't know what the consequences are, but you definitely don't understand one thing?"

Because of Nojima Shinji's words, Hanyu Hideki, who was already holding back his anger, became furious when he saw this guy coming up to him again without knowing the consequences.

"Luck is precious to everyone, you obviously don't know how to cherish it!"

Hideki Hanyu was busy dealing with Noriko Sakai's matter and had no time to deal with such a small person, but this person didn't know how lucky he was to have escaped a disaster just now.

But the other party did not cherish this chance and continued to run here to seek death.

It is certainly a good thing to do your duty.

But doing things without tact is a big problem.

In this situation, if the other party still can't see any problem, then any consequences will be their own fault.

"You can try and let me know the consequences."

Hanyu Hideki said this coldly and continued to make the call.

"What did you say……"

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki no longer paid attention to him, the security guard walked over cursing.

However, the bodyguard guarding Hanyu Hideki naturally would not let him do what he wanted and decisively stopped him.

On this side, Hanyu Hideki, who had already made a call, ignored the brainless guy and left to look for someone after being stopped, cursing.

I just said into the phone, "I'm Hanyu Hideki, is Iijima Michi still in the company?"

The person on the other end of the line immediately responded, "Chairman, President Iijima is still working overtime on the anniversary celebration."

The person who spoke was Iijima Michi's assistant.

Hanyu Hideki ordered, "Tell her to stop what she is doing and come to the Flirting nightclub in Maruyama-cho, Shibuya immediately. Oh, and bring Shizuka Kudo with her."

"President, Kudo Shizuka should be participating in a radio program right now, do you want to..."

"I meant immediately? Don't you understand me?!"

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, the assistant opposite him immediately replied in a panic, "I'm sorry, President. I'll arrange it right away."

Hanyu Hideki, who was in a bad mood, ignored the call and hung up the phone directly.

After thinking about it, he immediately called Hirohashi Asako who had already returned home and explained the situation here.

"… Just take a good rest, Asako-san. I will take care of this matter."

"How can I sleep now that Hanyu-san has told me so? I better go."

"Be careful on the road."

……

After the call, Hideki Hanyu began to wait.

But then, the person he called didn't come, but someone else came first.

The security guard who left cursing came back with a group of people.

First, the lights in the booth where Hideki Hanyu was sitting were turned on, and then this group of guys with hideous and gangster looks, who looked like they almost had the word "extreme" written on their faces, surrounded the booth where Hideki Hanyu was sitting.

The leader, a guy in a black suit, came up and was about to speak.

As a result, I happened to see Hanyu Hideki's face turning around.

Although the light was still dim, it was much better than the previous pitch-black situation.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu's handsome face immediately fell clearly into the other party's eyes.

The next moment, the question was swallowed.

The anger on his face instantly turned into a smile.

Then, the man began to flatter, "It turns out to be Mr. Hanyu. Why didn't you inform us in advance when you came to our store? I could have arranged better service for you."

"Better service?" Hanyu Hideki said sarcastically, "How dare I? As long as your people don't scold me, I will say thank you."

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, the person who spoke instantly felt like sweating all over.

It is said that not long ago in Roppongi, the headquarters of the Inagawa-kai, an idiot bumped into Hanyu Hideki.

As for the consequences of that guy, no one saw him afterwards.

It was probably thrown into the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish.

As a result, now, he has such an idiot under his command, and he almost got himself implicated.

Thinking of this, he was filled with fear and said hurriedly with a respectful look on his face.

"Mr. Hanyu, I will give you an explanation."

"How you deal with it is your business. I have other things to do. Take your people and get out of here. Don't let this affect my mood."

Hanyu Hideki said impatiently.

It was supposed to be a wonderful night to have a tryst with the beautiful girl, but who would have thought it would turn out so badly. It would be strange if he was in a good mood now.

Although the visitor was terrified, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he suppressed his emotions and respectfully asked Hanyu Hideki, "Sir, do you want me to arrange a quiet place for you?"

Hanyu Hideki looked around and finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Everyone will be here soon, so it will be inconvenient to talk in the hall.

"Then please come with me, sir."

The man said that he would lead the way.

Hideki Hanyu signaled to Marco to take Shinji Nojima with him. He looked at Noriko Sakai who was still in a daze, and could only bend down to pick up the girl and leave.

Although the people around were alarmed by the commotion here, after seeing the aggressive group of people, no one dared to meddle and they all pretended not to see it.

After Hideki Hanyu and others left, the hall returned to its previous atmosphere.

In the private room of the nightclub, Hideki Hanyu soon waited for the first person to arrive.

Hirohashi Asako came from home.

After entering the box, the president of Yunshang Entertainment Group glanced at Shinji Nojima who was kneeling in the corner. She already knew the situation, and her eyes were full of contempt.

Then, when she saw Noriko Sakai lying unconscious on the sofa, the dissatisfaction in her eyes was just as great.

For a strong woman like Hirohashi Asako, the most annoying thing is a girl who has no self-respect, no opinion, a cowardly character, and does not know how to distinguish between good and bad. Finally, he looked at a young man sitting in the corner and asked Hanyu Hideki.

"Hanyu-san, who is he?"

Hanyu Hideki glanced at her and said, "He is an employee of Yunshang Entertainment. He was the one who saw Noriko Sakai coming here, so I asked him to bring her here."

Hirohashi Asako was a little confused when she heard this, "How did Hanyu-san hear what they said? Did he go to the headquarters?"

Of course Hanyu Hideki would not say that he went to the apartment building to meet someone, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Asaka-san, don't worry about these details, just deal with the matter first."

"Okay." Hirohashi Asako said, looking at Sakai Noriko, "Do you want to find a way to wake her up?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "Don't worry, let's wait until Iijima Michi arrives."

Hirohashi Asako asked, "You asked Iijima Michi to bring Kudo Shizuka with you. What are you going to do with Kudo Shizuka?"

Hanyu Hideki said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll wait until Iijima Michi arrives."

"This is really a troublesome matter." Hirohashi Asako frowned.

Because Hirohashi Asako knew that neither Hanyu Hideki, nor she, nor Iijima Michi, would deal with this matter simply from the perspective of good and evil.

For Yunshang Entertainment, Noriko Sakai can bring benefits, so of course they have to protect Noriko Sakai.

But the instigator, Shizuka Kudo, can also bring benefits to Yunshang Entertainment. Even at this stage, the benefits she brings far exceed those of Noriko Sakai.

The two singles released by Shizuka Kudo this year are second only to Akina Nakamori in terms of sales among singers on Cloud Music, and are even higher than the Yuanqi Girls Group which is starting to decline.

In this case, even if Shizuka Kudo did something wrong in this matter, Yunshang Entertainment would not really uphold justice and ban Shizuka Kudo.

After all, Yunshang Entertainment is not an official organization, but just a company.

A profit-seeking enterprise.

The entire group has to support tens of thousands of employees, and every day when you open your eyes, you will see hundreds of millions of expenses. Managing such a business requires too many things to worry about and the pressure is too great.

As a manager, Hirohashi Asako must never act on her emotions.

They will not ban someone who can make a lot of money for the group based on likes and dislikes or good and evil.

Therefore, it is not about good or evil, but only about interests.

Besides, Yunshang Entertainment and Noriko Sakai only have an employment relationship. For the sake of their own interests, the management has done their best by coming to meddle in other people's business late at night.

After all, they can't be responsible for anyone's life.

The only person who can be responsible is himself.

This is also the reason why, even though many people think that Kudo Shizuka is too fussy, even Hirohashi Asako thinks so, she still agrees with Iijima Michi's approach and spares no effort to invest resources in Kudo Shizuka.

After hearing what Hirohashi Asako said, Hanyu Hideki also felt the same way.

In fact, at this time, because of this incident, Hanyu Hideki could understand how Akimoto Yasushi handled bullying incidents within his subordinate idol team in later generations.

Public opinion is clearly boiling, and everyone is demanding that the agency uphold justice and severely punish the bullies, but in the end the case is often handled leniently.

Because different people look at related things from different perspectives.

Public opinion is simply speaking out based on the simplest sense of justice.

But as the operator of a brokerage firm, what you see are the gains and losses.

Not just for yourself, but for more people.

Take today's incident for example. With his power, he can certainly act recklessly and harshly against Shizuka Kudo out of his inner sense of justice.

Not to mention banning them in the entertainment industry, they could even go as far as to imitate the South Korean chaebols and do something even more extreme.

But what are the consequences of doing so?

However, because of this incident, the reduced revenue of Yunshang Entertainment will need to be borne by everyone.

Perhaps the family of a Yunshang employee was in urgent need of a bonus, but because of this incident, the bonus was lost, causing irreparable consequences for the employee.

Hideki Hanyu was standing up for Noriko Sakai, but who should compensate for the losses of these employees?

Moreover, things are unpredictable. If this incident leads to some imperceptible collapse of the Yunshang system, the moment when Hideki Hanyu throws away the media amulet.

He can protect Noriko Sakai, but who can protect her?

In fact, given the current income and popularity gap between Noriko Sakai and Shizuka Kudo, Hanyu Hideki has already been helping Noriko Sakai by letting this matter go and demanding that Iijima Michi must deal with it.

Of course, the most important thing is that Noriko Sakai and Hideki Hanyu have no relationship, and Hideki Hanyu has no reason to bear these backlashes for the other party.

Akina Nakamori retired. Although Hirohashi Asako and others firmly supported his decision, he still compensated the senior management of Yunshang Entertainment in many ways afterwards, such as some interests and management rights of Crescent Cinemas.

After calculating the economic gains and losses, it was found that Akina Nakamori would not be able to earn back this money even if she worked for another ten years.

From this we can see how great the price is to be paid in Japan to help a popular artist regain his freedom.

Just as Hanyu Hideki and Hirohashi Asako were thinking, Iijima Michi finally arrived.

Behind him was Shizuka Kudo, who was taken away from the radio station halfway, and her agent.

Before coming here, Kudo Shizuka actually had a bad feeling, although Iijima Michi didn't know what happened and didn't tell her the reason.

When she stepped into the box and saw the two bosses, Hanyu Hideki and Hirohashi Asako, as well as Nojima Shinji in the corner and Sakai Noriko lying motionless on the sofa, she immediately understood everything and her face turned pale.

Hanyu Hideki didn't waste any words and simply told Iijima Michi what had happened, but he ignored the frightened Kudo Shizuka from beginning to end.

After saying this, he did not immediately ask for a solution.

Because it is impossible for these senior executives to tell Kudo Shizuka about their considerations, otherwise Kudo Shizuka, who is still frightened, will inevitably become fearless.

"Marco, take them out first and find a place for them to wait."

Hanyu Hideki pointed at Kudo Shizuka, Nojima Shinji, and the young man who was waiting for him to come here.

As for Noriko Sakai, who looked like she was asleep, he was not worried that she would hear anything.

After everyone left, Hanyu Hideki asked Iijima Michi, "Tell me, how should this matter be handled? What do you think?"

Iijima Michi also looked embarrassed, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "With Akina Nakamori about to retire, we can't give up on Shizuka Kudo."

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Just talk about what happened tonight. Don't mention Akina. This matter has become a handle for me with Iijima-san."

"Teacher Hanyu, that's not what I meant." Iijima Michi hurriedly explained.

"Okay, it's just a joke, I just hope you guys won't be so serious."

As he spoke, Hanyu Hideki pointed at Noriko Sakai who was lying next to him.

"For the sake of the group, we certainly can't give up on Shizuka Kudo, but we have to be sure of one thing, that is, we can compete with artists from the same agency, but there must be a bottom line. If we report today's incident to the police, we can even send Shizuka Kudo to jail."

"I agree with Hanyu-san's opinion. Shizuka Kudo must be punished for what happened today. Otherwise, if she can compete with Noriko Sakai today, she can use other means to target artists from other agencies."

Hirohashi Asako echoed.

"But what can we punish her for? Even if we confiscate all her current income, it won't be much money," said Michi Iijima.

"Whether the money is a lot or a little, we have to make our position clear. And although this matter cannot be made public, we must explain it to Noriko Sakai and let Kudo Shizuka apologize to Noriko Sakai."

Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "It's time for this girl to grow up and understand the evil in people's hearts. Otherwise, even if she can rely on me to get away with it today, something bad will happen to her sooner or later in the future."

Hirohashi Asako then said, "In addition to punishing Kudo Shizuka, fire her agent. There is no need for such a loser who can't even control the mistakes of the artists to stay in Yunshang Entertainment."

When Iijima Michi heard this, he wanted to argue, but seeing Hirohashi Asako's serious expression, he swallowed his words.

She has always known that Hirohashi Asako dislikes Kudo Shizuka very much. If Hanyu Hideki had not been present today, Hirohashi Asako would never have been so polite.

After Hirohashi Asako finished speaking, she looked at Iijima Michi and said, "You are the president of Yunshang Entertainment. Tell me about your triggering idea."

After hearing this, Iijima Michi thought for a moment and said, "After deducting all her record bonuses and business bonuses this year, the company will transfer half of the two advertising endorsements she is negotiating to Noriko Sakai..."

Iijima Michi said a lot in one breath.

Before Hanyu Hideki could offer his opinion, Hirohashi Asako next to him spoke first.

"Not enough. I remember that Yunshang Films had prepared a movie for him. We were also planning to arrange for her to be the protagonist in a movie co-produced with Toei. There were also two TV series on Yunshang Satellite TV and Fuji TV. All of them were cancelled and transferred to Noriko Sakai."

"President Hirohashi, if all these are cancelled, it will affect our overall development plan for her." Iijima Michi tried to dissuade.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki also said, "Noriko Sakai also has her own work schedule. She will be too busy to handle so many projects at once.

But we can't not punish you, so we'll cancel one of the movies and TV series. It's up to you to decide how to deal with you, Mr. Iijima."

After saying that, he looked at Guangqiao Qianzi, "Qianzi-san, how about this?"

"Just do as Hanyu-san said." Hirohashi Asako agreed to Hanyu Hideki's condition, but then said, "Let Kudo Shizuka move out of the apartment at the training base tonight to prevent such things from happening again."

After this incident, Hirohashi Asako became even more worried about Kudo Shizuka.

Considering that there are many other female artists living in the training base apartment, it is better to keep Shizuka Kudo away from these people.

"In that case, wake her up first."

Hanyu Hideki said this and glanced at Noriko Sakai who was lying on the ground, then stood up and whispered a few words to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard turned and walked out of the box, and soon came back, but this time he was holding a glass of ice water in his hand.

Following Mr. Hanyu's instructions, the bodyguard walked forward, adjusted the angle, and poured ice water on Noriko Sakai's head and face.

"Um--"

As the ice water was poured down, the girl groaned, opened her eyes, and quickly sat up from the sofa.

"Where am I?"

At first, the girl talked to herself in a daze.

But when she saw the three people sitting in front of her, she became even more confused, but at the same time she instinctively stood up and greeted the three people.

“President Hanyu, President Hirohashi, Iijima…”

Hanyu Hideki ignored Noriko Sakai and told Iijima Michi, "Iijima-san, please tell her what happened."

"Yes, Hanyu-sensei."

Iijima Michi responded and walked over to explain to the still confused Sakai Noriko.

After Iijima Michi finished speaking, Noriko Sakai, who had been confused just now, now had an expression of disbelief and indescribable sadness on her face.

After all, the feeling of being betrayed by someone she thought was a good friend would not be pleasant just by thinking about it.

But Hanyu Hideki would not give the other party time to calm down, and directly arranged for someone to bring Kudo Shizuka and Nojima Shinji over.

The moment the two appeared in the box, Noriko Sakai couldn't help but question Shizuka Kudo, "Why...why do this to me?"

Kudo Shizuka just pursed her lips and said nothing.

But in his silent eyes, besides a hint of fear, there was more disdain for Noriko Sakai.

Michiko Iijima, who had just explained to Noriko Sakai, did not comfort her at this time. Instead, she walked directly to Shizuka Kudo and told her their decision.

When Shizuka Kudo heard that this was the only punishment she received, although she was unwilling to lose the resources, she was also glad that the two senior executives, Hideki Hanyu and Asako Hirohashi, did not kill her.

And this smart girl instantly realized that not only did she need Yunshang Entertainment, but Yunshang Entertainment also needed her.

So, even though she accepted the punishment and apologized to Noriko Sakai seemingly sincerely as required, there was still a flash of pride in her eyes.

"That's it, I'm leaving first."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Hirohashi Asako stood up and left.

As for Nojima Shinji, Hirohashi Asako had no intention of paying any attention to him.

Because the other party's fate has already been determined.

She could let go of Kudo Shizuka, a "family member", for the sake of her own interests, but she had no psychological burden at all to touch Nojima Shinji, an outsider.

One phone call tomorrow will be enough for this guy to completely disappear from the Japanese entertainment industry.

Hirohashi Asako left, and Hanyu Hideki also planned to leave.

He called to Noriko Sakai next to him, "Let's go."

After sending the Buddha to the west, he will also need to send Noriko Sakai back to the training base.

As for the others, although Hirohashi Asako disliked Kudo Shizuka, she didn't think much of Sakai Noriko either.

Michiko Iijima wanted to take Shizuka Kudo with her, and was obviously reluctant to let Noriko Sakai stay with her.

So I can only trouble Hideki Hanyu.

However, when Hanyu Hideki brought Noriko Sakai to Shizuka Kudo, they suddenly stopped.

He saw the fleeting smugness in Kudo Shizuka's eyes.

"Kudo Shizuka."

He called out Kudo Shizuka's name calmly.

"President Hanyu." Kudo Shizuka looked at Hanyu Hideki with pretended fear.

But then, Hanyu Hideki sneered.

"Haha, you should be thankful that I don't really like hitting women."

As soon as these words came out, Kudo Shizuka's expression changed instantly.

But Hideki Hanyu doesn't care at all.

He just continued in a cold tone.

"You are very smart, but you use your intelligence in the wrong place, so you'd better be grateful that you are always so valuable to Yunshang Entertainment, otherwise your ending will definitely be what you least want to see."

When it comes to the woman named Kudo Shizuka, Hanyu Hideki doesn't mind laying out the interests involved.

Because in Neon, the control that agencies have over artists is so strict that it is hard to imagine in other regions, even in South Korea.

Even if an artist's contract expires, it is impossible for him to change jobs without the consent of the original agency.

If you make a mistake, you may even lose the ability to use your own name.

If one wants to change jobs by force, he must have a strong enough force to support him.

But the question is, which force in Japan is willing to break off relations with a behemoth like Yunshang Entertainment for the sake of an artist?

Even Sony Entertainment can’t do that now.

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Kudo Shizuka didn't dare to speak, and no one around her dared to speak for her.

Although Iijima Michi is optimistic about Kudo Shizuka, how can Kudo Shizuka's importance in her heart be compared to Hanyu Hideki?

"Just take care of yourself."

After saying this, Hideki Hanyu left with Noriko Sakai.

But when he walked outside the nightclub, he found a group of people waiting for him.

The person in charge was the head of the Inagawa-kai headquarters in Roppongi last time.

Hideki Hanyu didn't know the other person, but after seeing Hideki Hanyu, the other person immediately stepped forward and introduced himself.

Immediately afterwards, he asked his subordinates behind him to make way for a gap, where two people were kneeling.

One is the nightclub security guard who spoke rudely to Hanyu Hideki, and the other is the little leader who came to find Hanyu Hideki later.

The former could no longer be described as kneeling at this time, but rather lying half-dead on the ground, with one hand still holding a bloody white cloth.

The latter, the little leader, looked better, except that his face was bruised and his door seemed to be half missing.

It is obvious that the minister has already taken the initiative to teach these people a lesson.

After seeing this, Hanyu Hideki chuckled and said, "Haha, it seems that I really don't get along with you Inagawa-kai. Every time I meet a young man, it's your people."

"terribly sorry……"

The director wanted to say something, but Hanyu Hideki interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Okay, I'm just feeling better now, don't let me see these nasty things."

"Yes." The director responded and immediately ordered his men to drag the two people away.

"This matter ends here. Remember, there won't be a next time."

"Yes."

……

Shanbing District, cloud-based arts training base.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit drove into the parking lot. Hideki Hanyu opened the door and signaled Noriko Sakai that she could get out.

After getting off the car, Noriko Sakai immediately bowed 90 degrees to Hanyu Hideki. The girl, who had gradually recovered from her sadness, spoke to Hanyu Hideki very seriously.

"Thank you very much, President Hanyu, for helping me. This is the second time you have helped me. I know I don't have much ability to help you, President Hanyu, but if you need me, I am willing to do whatever it takes."

Hearing what Noriko Sakai said, Hideki Hanyu curled his lips and thought to himself, you ruined my plan to meet the beautiful girl tonight, so why not just accompany me alone for the night.

But he was just thinking about it.

Not wanting to cause any trouble for Yunshang Entertainment for the time being, he has been deliberately keeping a distance from the female artists in the agency.

So when the words came to my lips, I just said them.

"I don't need you to do anything for me, but after what happened today, you should grow up. It's okay to want to rely on someone, but at least you have to know how to distinguish who is worthy of reliance.

Well, it’s getting late, go and have some rest.”

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, without waiting for Noriko Sakai to answer, he closed the car door and told Marco that he could go home.

"goodbye……"

Noriko Sakai, who was still staying where she was, looked at the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit that was gradually moving away. The goodbye she hadn't even finished saying turned into mumbling to herself.

"Someone you can rely on...President..."
