Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 624: Arrangements for Xiu Li
In terms of beauty, Benedetta is naturally not as beautiful as her niece.

But for some reason, this woman has a kind of charm that makes Hideki Hanyu feel a little obsessed.

Perhaps it was the unexpected temptation that suddenly appeared in that reserved, plain and deserted temperament.

Or it could be the mature charm accumulated from his experiences.

Or maybe the other person understands men better.

In short, after the happy lunch at Vestigia restaurant, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but bring Benedetta back to the Yorozuya.

There is no need to find a reason, just to come and see my niece.

However, Christiana Yeri had just woken up because of jet lag and lack of rest last night.

When the aunt and niece stood together at this time, they could be described as plum blossom, orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, each with their own charm.

The sight of these two beauties competing for glory made the scumbag feel itchy and he wanted to put them together.

Of course, just thinking about it.

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Benedetta's side is difficult to deal with, but Christiana Yeri is definitely not the same now.

And although he was very tired now, he still had important things to deal with. After trying out Benedetta's chef uniform at noon, he was not in a hurry now.

In the cloakroom, when Hideki Hanyu took off his formal suit and was about to change into a more low-key outfit, the cloakroom door was pushed open from the outside.

Benedetta came in wearing a black dress.

(Benedetta or reference Charlotte Le Bon)

Hanyu Hideki was caught red-handed while changing his clothes, but he didn't care and asked, "You came in now, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Nana?"

"You went to my room last night, weren't you afraid of being discovered?"

The beauty raised her eyebrows and said, "And even if they did, wouldn't that satisfy your wish? You brought me back from the restaurant, don't you want us to be together?"

As the mature beauty spoke, she had already approached Hanyu Hideki and gently slid her slender index finger across Hanyu Hideki's pectoral muscles.

Clearly defined muscles, a tall and imposing figure, an extraordinarily handsome face, and a temperament that was a combination of the gentleness of a scholarly writer and the domineering nature of a superior.

Hideki Hanyu exudes a charm that makes women intoxicated all the time, making Benedetta a little confused and obsessed in an instant.

But at this time, Hanyu Hideki remained unmoved and continued to change his clothes, and chuckled and said, "When Yoshioka-san pursued you before, you were not so proactive."

In fact, his attitude towards Benedetta at this time was also a little strange.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted this mature beauty's body.

What about Benedetta?
They just made an accidental mistake, so why did the other party act so proactively?

Could it be that the other party also covets his body?
In response to Hanyu Hideki's words, Benedetta directly replied in a confused tone, "Men are different from other men."

After that, he took the initiative to hug Hanyu Hideki and said in an intoxicated tone, "Right here, right now, Nana is going to eat, she won't notice."

Hideki Hanyu felt that his premonition was right.

This woman also covets his body.

But in the face of temptation, he reached out and pried open Benedetta's arms, then put on his last baseball jacket and a baseball cap.

At this moment, his entire image immediately changed from a successful boss in formal attire to a sunny and handsome college student on campus.

I suddenly became so much more low-key.

"What are you..."

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was unmoved by her and even changed into such clothes, Benedetta was a little surprised. Even at noon, he could still feel Hanyu Hideki's obsession with him.

"I still have work to do, so you stay here with Nana."

After saying this, Hanyu Hideki strode out of the cloakroom.

Behind him, Benedetta, who was completely ignored by him, not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but looked at Hanyu Hideki's back with her eyes, and became even more fascinated.

She murmured softly, "What a fascinating man..."

After leaving the cloakroom, Hideki Hanyu went to the restaurant to say goodbye to Christiana Yeri, and then drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which had not been driven for a long time, all the way to Keio University in Chiyoda Ward.

He came here to see his younger brother Hanyu Hidetoshi.

As for what it was, it was of course because of what old man Murayama told him at noon.

For the Elf Industrial Park, old man Murayama and the forces behind him proposed a very large and complicated deal.

In this transaction, as the active party, he is naturally one of the biggest beneficiaries.

And among those gains, there is more than just wealth.

There are also some resources under compromise.

On the street outside the school, after Hideki Hanyu's Mercedes-Benz G arrived, he did not get out of the car, but contacted Hidetoshi Hanyu using the car phone.

It didn't take long before two figures appeared in Hanyu Hideki's sight.

It was his younger brother Hanyu Hidetoshi and his girlfriend Watanabe Yumi.

Bringing Yumi Watanabe along was also a special request from Hideki Hanyu.

Looking at Hideki Hanyu coming from afar.

He found that although his younger brother's former immaturity had faded and he looked much more mature, he was becoming less and less like him.

He seems to be only a little over 1.7 meters tall.

Moreover, his appearance is ordinary, the type that you can't even find in a crowd, without any special features and not aggressive at all.

On the other hand, Yumi Watanabe is becoming more and more beautiful.

It seems that my eldest nephew's short height of 172cm is inherited from his father, but his handsome appearance is inherited from his mother.

After the two approached, Hanyu Hideki immediately called out through the car window, "Get in the car."

Although Hideki Hanyu dressed low-key today, his personal aura is getting stronger and stronger as his status and wealth increase.

Moreover, after entering Keio University, a place full of powerful and wealthy second-generations who gild themselves and expand their network of contacts, Hanyu Hidetoshi gradually realized how amazing and difficult it was for his brother to have everything he has now.

Those children of power and wealth who were of similar age to his brother had ample funds and connections, and should have been more successful. However, the gap between them and his brother was so huge that it was beyond imagination.

Although he did not make a big fuss about his identity after entering university.

But Keio University has no shortage of well-informed people.

Because of her brother, Hanyu Hideri was treated differently, but she also felt the pressure.

Everyone thinks that he is Hideki Hanyu's younger brother. Since his brother is so outstanding, he shouldn't be too bad.

But the problem is, whether in terms of personal talent or appearance, he really has nothing to show for it, and he can't compare with his almost perfect brother.

If I have to say one thing, it would be that he is loyal in his relationships.

But unfortunately, in the eyes of his classmates at Keio University, this was actually his stupidest advantage.

These people were born into the top ranks of Japan, enjoying wealth and resources that ordinary people could hardly reach.

Just an ordinary girl, just for fun.

If you really want to get married, then the choice of your other half will definitely be a marriage between someone of equal social status.

It is precisely because of all these things that when Hanyu Hidetoshi saw Hanyu Hideki, he gradually lost the desire to play with him as a child.

In addition to the respect from the bottom of my heart.

Hideki Hanyu's own aura made him feel even more afraid.

And Hideki Hanyu also keenly discovered this.

After his younger brother got in the car and greeted him cautiously, he immediately raised his hand rudely and slapped Hanyu Hidetoshi on the head.

"How dare you, brat, show me your displeasure."

Of course he knew that Hanyu Hidetoshi was not being rude, he just saw that he was a little too nervous.

After teaching his brother a lesson, he immediately put on a smiling face and said to Yumi Watanabe who was standing next to his brother, "Yumi-chan is getting more and more beautiful. This Givenchy dress suits you very well."

Yumi Watanabe was very nervous when she saw Hideki Hanyu, but when she saw that Hideki Hanyu was still teaching Hidetoshi Hanyu a lesson as he did before, she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Now seeing Hanyu Hideki praising her beauty and his handsome smile that made her dizzy, she felt a little embarrassed instead.

I immediately replied shyly in a low voice, "This skirt was given to me by Aunt Yuanzi."

"It seems that my future mother-in-law is quite discerning."

After Hanyu Hideki said this, Watanabe Yumi felt even more embarrassed.

Besides feeling embarrassed, she also felt a little relieved.

After all, as Hideki Hanyu's value and status rise, her relationship with Hidetoshi Hanyu has become more and more subtle.

After all, the mismatch between the two families is already laid bare before them.

Although Hanyu Hidetoshi's parents still approve of her.

But the invisible pressure from the outside world made her feel like giving up.

Often, she would hear rumors that she had no self-awareness and was trying to curry favor with the powerful.

She also knew that many people in the school were eyeing Hanyu Hideki because of Hanyu Hideki.

So what if Hanyu Hideki herself is not outstanding?

Who can blame me for having such an outstanding brother like Hanyu Hideki?

But the problem is that she really likes Hanyu Hideri in her heart.

They knew each other before Hideki Hanyu became rich, so the claim that he was trying to curry favor with the powerful is completely untenable.

At this moment, when Hanyu Hideki said what he had just said, this source of Hanyu family's wealth and the center of power was directly recognizing her identity.

Now that she has broadened her horizons and grown up, she is no longer the ordinary girl who knew nothing. She also understands how important such recognition is.

It can be said that as long as Hanyu Hideki agrees, other people's opinions no longer matter.

At this time, Hanyu Hidetoshi also held his head and complained, "Why do you hit me as soon as we meet?"

"If I want to hit you, I'll hit you. Do I need any reason?" Hanyu Hideki said righteously.

Hanyu Hidetoshi knew that he couldn't afford to offend his brother, so he had no choice but to ask, "Then my brother should tell me why he suddenly asked me to bring Yumi-chan to see you, right?"

"We'll talk about it when we get there."

After picking up the people, Hideki Hanyu drove back to Yorozuya.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Yorozuya, Hanyu Hidetoshi asked curiously, "If Brother wants to see us, he can just let us come by ourselves. Why did he come to pick us up in person?"

"It's more reassuring to pick it up in person."

Hanyu Hideki said this as he opened the car door and walked out.

Then he led the two of them all the way across the front yard and into the house.

When they passed by the small courtyard in front of the house, the three of them also saw Benedetta and her niece sitting under the awning drinking afternoon tea. Hanyu Hideki briefly introduced them.

Hanyu Hidetoshi and Watanabe Yumi saw two strange white beauties in the Yorozuya, especially the younger one, who was so beautiful that she looked unreal.

Even though he was already aware of his eldest brother's playboy behavior, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

As for Benedetta and Christiana Yeri, when they heard Hideki Hanyu say that Hidetoshi Hanyu was his younger brother, although their expressions remained polite, they both had the same thoughts in their hearts.

Was Hideki Hanyu adopted by his parents?
Otherwise, why is there such a big gap between brothers?
However, Hideki Hanyu did not have time to explain these details to the two women. After he took Hidetoshi Hanyu and Yumi Watanabe into the house, he went straight to the study on the third floor.

Hideki Hanyu arranged for someone to watch outside, then locked the door from the inside, and then sat down opposite Hidetoshi Hanyu and the other person.

He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point when he spoke to the two of them.

"I called you here today for two reasons."

As he spoke, he first looked at Hanyu Hidetoshi and said, "You will need to go to the Industrial Policy Division of the Tochigi Prefecture's Industry, Labor and Tourism Department for an internship in a maximum of one month."

"One month?" Hanyu Hideki looked puzzled. "I think we haven't had a holiday yet by then."

Hanyu Hideki said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Someone will handle the relevant procedures. My assistant will contact you later and you just need to follow her arrangements."

"Um... can I know why you suddenly want me to go to Tochigi Prefecture for an internship?"

Hidetoshi Hanyu was a little confused by her brother's sudden arrangement.

"Of course it's to gild you. Something big is going to happen over there, involving a very complicated exchange of interests and political resources.

You won’t understand if I explain it to you now, but you will naturally understand it after you have been practicing in actual work for a period of time. You just need to follow my arrangements.

When you get there, do more, watch more, learn more, and talk less. No one will make things difficult for you, and you will naturally benefit from it after the event."

Hideki Hanyu explained this.

Then Hanyu Hidetoshi still didn't seem to understand, and asked cautiously, "I still don't know the purpose of doing this."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but feel a little angry.

He immediately cursed angrily.

"You idiot, you haven't made any progress at Keio University. Why else would I send you to that university?
Do you think that you go to college to find a good job? "

"I'm sorry." After being scolded, Hideki Hanyu could only apologize.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki could only explain in more detail.

“This summer’s internship is just the beginning. All of your vacations during your last year of college will be spent doing internships in Tochigi Prefecture.

After you graduate from university, I will arrange for you to return to Sendai to work and start doing some basic work, such as agricultural cooperatives and labor unions. If things go well, you will participate in Sendai's regional elections within five years at most, and after you turn 30, you will try to enter the House of Representatives. "

With just a few words, Hideki Hanyu has determined the future career development of Hidetoshi Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki was stunned and his expression was in unprecedented confusion.

After all, deep down he didn't want to follow the path arranged by his brother.

What he wanted to do most was to return to his hometown school, become a baseball coach, and then lead the team to Koshien himself.

As if noticing Hanyu Hideki's hesitation, Hanyu Hideki immediately spoke in a serious tone.

“You may not like the path I have arranged for you, but you must also understand that many things in this world seem free, but when it comes to individuals, they actually have no right to choose.

In addition to enjoying life, people must also shoulder their responsibilities.

Hanyu family, because of me, I have reached my current height. Now for all of us, if we don’t move forward, we will fall behind. But we cannot fall behind, we can only move forward.

Otherwise, those enemies who covet me in secret will tear me to pieces without mercy.

If I fall, what do you think will happen to you, Yui-chan, Yumi-chan, and everyone in the family?

Not only will you lose everything you have now, you may even encounter something more terrifying than a nightmare.

So, you are not young anymore, and it is time for you to grow up and take on the responsibilities that a man should take, not only for yourself, but also for the one you love."

The first time he heard his brother say these words so seriously, Hanyu Hidetoshi felt an unprecedented shock in his heart.

He glanced at Hanyu Hideki, then looked at Watanabe Yumi who was beside him with a look of anticipation, and seemed to understand something in an instant.

Standing up, Hanyu Hidetoshi bowed deeply to his brother, "Brother, I will follow your arrangements in everything."

"Very good, sit down and talk, there is no need for this between us."

Hideki Hanyu patted his brother's shoulder, and after the other sat down, the serious expression on his face disappeared and he spoke in a slightly relaxed tone.

"You should take my words seriously, but there's no need to be overly nervous. I haven't been developing in vain over the years. A few minor storms won't affect me."

At this point, Hanyu Hideki showed a confident smile, "Your brother's true strength is stronger than what you see, and much stronger than many people imagine.

Of course, it is better to have it yourself than to have it from others. In certain positions, we must eventually have our own power and voice.

So, just rest assured and develop according to my arrangements. I will support you behind the scenes and there will be no problem.

And even if you are in politics, you still have the opportunity to develop your hobbies. Sometimes, some personal interests can actually increase your popularity among the public.”

Having said that, Hanyu Hideki looked at Watanabe Yumi.

"Speaking of public favorability, there's one more thing you have to do with Yumi-chan."

"What...what happened?"

Although Hanyu Hidetoshi has decided to accept his brother's arrangement, he is still a little confused about his brother's plan. Therefore, fearing that he will be scolded again, he asks cautiously.

“It’s simple, you need a family that ordinary people can relate to.

So, hurry up and contact your parents, and have them confirm a date with Yumi-chan's parents. You two must get engaged this year, and officially get married next year."

"Ah!" Yumi Watanabe exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" Hanyu Hidetoshi was also surprised. She couldn't understand why they suddenly mentioned marriage.

Although he has decided that his other half will definitely be Yumi Watanabe.

But he never expected to get married so suddenly.

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Why? You two don't want to?"

"Of course not, we would like to." They both answered in unison.

"Since you are willing, don't ask why. Just follow my arrangements. This will help Xiu Li's career. Yumi-chan also hopes that you can support him."

As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Watanabe Yumi nodded seriously and replied, "Of course I am willing to support Hideki."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Very good, then you should contact your family as soon as possible."

In fact, in Hideki Hanyu's original plan, he had also thought of letting his younger brother give up Yumi Watanabe and then choose a higher-class power for marriage.

But after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.

First of all, he was not yet ready to further bind himself to a certain force through marriage.

Especially during this period, being too close to a certain force would not bring any benefits to his future plans.

Furthermore, we should consider Hanyu Hidetoshi's future political arrangements, the changes in public opinion, the downward trend of public relations, and the increasingly down-to-earth image and style of public figures.

To some extent, Hanyu Hidetoshi's marriage to Watanabe Yumi, who came from a commoner family, may be a boost to his career.

Childhood sweethearts who have known each other since childhood, the true love that has accompanied them in growing up, and the couple's life of supporting each other.

Compared with those marriages between wealthy and powerful families, such a combination is undoubtedly more approachable and friendly to the people. No matter how you look at it, people will prefer such a combination.

"Remember, what I tell you today must not be disclosed to anyone, including your family. This is for your consideration and for their own good. Some things are not necessarily better if you know more.

As for how to explain it, I will contact my family next time, and you just need to do what I say. "

After saying that, Hanyu Hideki stood up.

"That's all for today. Feel free to contact me if you have anything else. I have other things to deal with. Marco will arrange for someone to take you back."

"Then I'll go first. Goodbye brother."

Hanyu Hidetoshi and Watanabe Yumi respectfully said goodbye to Hanyu Hideki, and then were sent away by people arranged by Marco.

In the garage, Hanyu Hideki watched the car the two men were in leave, and turned to Marco and said, "When Hideki goes to Tochigi Prefecture, arrange two reliable people around him."

"Okay, boss," Marco replied.

Although Hanyu Hidetoshi had made all the arrangements, what old man Murayama told him was just the beginning.

There were many things that needed to be dealt with next, including social relationships, and many of them had to be handled personally.

In order to cooperate with this transaction, Elf Entertainment must also cooperate, so he also needs to have a detailed discussion with Iwata.

Originally, he was thinking that after attending the launch ceremony of Storm Advertising, he would go to Europe immediately and visit Cannes before the Cannes Film Festival closed.

After all, during the film festival, many European and American stars gather there, and you might be able to have a brief romance with a female star that is welcome to everyone.

But now, a conversation with old man Murayama has completely ruined his trip to Cannes.

For him, this deal is optional.

But as he said to Hanyu Hidetoshi, if he doesn't make progress now, he will regress. If he has the opportunity to become stronger, he must seize it.

Briefly explain.

If the deal that old man Murayama mentioned can be reached in the end.

First of all, the prerequisite for everything is that the huge industrial park project planned by Elf Entertainment must be settled in Tochigi Prefecture.

First of all, Elf Entertainment can gain many benefits in this process.

This includes low-interest bank loans during construction, concessions from labor unions on workers’ rights, tax breaks after completion, regional financial incentives, etc.

In order to achieve this goal, old man Murayama also promised to use his own and faction's resources to help Hideki Hanyu cultivate a new upper-level "insider".

The candidates will be decided by Hideki Hanyu, who can choose existing personnel or train new people himself.

Anyway, Mr. Murayama’s promise is a long-term promise.

In Japan's political environment where everyone has their own job, such a promise is even more valuable than the mere gain of benefits.

This is also the reason why Hideki Hanyu decisively pushed his younger brother forward.

After all, is there anyone more suitable than Hidetoshi Hanyu around him?

As for Elf Entertainment settling in Tochigi Prefecture, this process will bring benefits to old man Murayama and his forces, as well as the transactions between them.

Although it is complicated, Hideki Hanyu doesn't care and it has nothing to do with him.

He just needs the other party to fulfill his promise and get his benefits.

As for the possibility that those people on the other side may go back on their word.

As long as Hanyu Hideki's current power remains, the probability of this possibility will always be zero.

After all, even if Hanyu Hidetoshi develops according to his plan and finally enters the parliament, it will only be icing on the cake for his current strength.

Just as he told Hanyu Hidetoshi, his current strength is much stronger than many people imagine.

Of course, if Hideki Hanyu falls, then nothing we say will really make sense.
