Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 753: The Strength That Surprised Hirohashi Asako
On the way to a hospital in Shinjuku District, Hideki Hanyu personally drove his favorite "Kui Niu" off-road vehicle.

The Sekimoto sisters, who were originally going to have dinner together, were now sitting in the back seat.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Yasushi Akimoto.

After driving for a while, Akimoto Yasushi asked curiously, "Who asked Hanyu-san to go visit Senior Misora ​​Hibari?"

Hanyu Hideki looked at the road ahead and answered while concentrating on the operation, "It's Asako-san."

"President Hirohashi?"

Akimoto Yasushi was even more confused. Even if it was Hirohashi Asako, there was actually no need for her to visit Misora ​​Hibari in person. Sending a representative to visit her would be considered a great respect.

"It was inconvenient for her to come herself, so she asked me to come."

Hideki Hanyu's answer was rather perfunctory.

Obviously, he did this on purpose so as not to tell Akimoto Yasushi his real purpose.

As for what the real purpose is?
In fact, it is related to the rapidly developing "Xidu Group".

It also involves the impact of some shocks among the upper echelons of Japan on the industry in which Xidu Group is engaged.

The Recruit bribery case has not yet been resolved, and the shock among the upper echelons of Neon is still continuing. Some guys are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to divert public conflict.

It happened that at this time, a Neon congressman who had connections with the "Xidu Group" was implicated in an investigation because of his involvement in donations from the Neon Jidao.

Then some people took advantage of this opportunity to draw attention to certain dark forces behind the "Xidu Group" and looked for an excuse to start a cleanup operation.

Although the Neon Yakuza are just watchdogs raised by big capital and the upper class, they are used as toilet paper when they are useful and swept into the trash when they are useless. Hanyu Hideki does not need to care about the life and death of these guys.

But when it comes to the community of interests of the Saito Group, Hideki Hanyu can't just ignore it.

It is just that at this sensitive time, it is not convenient for Hanyu Hideki to meet certain people directly.

Just at this time, Akimoto Yasushi told him that Misora ​​Hibari was seriously ill.

Behind this person, Hibari Misora, there happens to be a close connection with certain capitals.

So when Hideki Hanyu just learned the news from Hirohashi Asako, he came up with the idea of ​​using the excuse of visiting Hibari Misora ​​to communicate with some of the "Saito Group" partners.

When he set out, Hirohashi Asako was already in contact.

Naturally, he couldn't tell Akimoto Yasushi about things of this level.

After all, knowing too many important things is not a good thing for Akimoto Yasushi.

Soon, the off-road vehicle arrived at the hospital where Misora ​​Hibari was.

At this time, the hospital entrance was surrounded by a large number of media.

After all, the fact that a national treasure-level singer like Hibari Misora ​​is seriously ill is big news in the Japanese entertainment industry. Hideki Hanyu even saw the filming team of Cloud Satellite TV.

When the "Kuiniu" off-road vehicle was queuing up to enter the hospital, experienced reporters immediately recognized it as the vehicle driven by Hideki Hanyu.

After all, the "Kuiniu" off-road vehicle is still in the stage of participating in competitions and constantly undergoing commercial improvements, and has not been publicly sold to the public. The one owned by Hideki Hanyu is the only one in Japan.

What's more, the appearance of this car is so fierce and special that it is difficult for others to forget it, let alone creatures with dog noses like reporters.

So now everyone basically knows that wherever this fierce off-road vehicle appears, it means Hideki Hanyu appears.

Think about Hideki Hanyu's popularity among the public, his influence on public opinion, and the freshness and mystery of not appearing in the public eye for a long time.

The reporters immediately surrounded the car as if they were injected with chicken blood, and began to interview continuously, which directly made it impossible for the SUV to move forward.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu could wait for the hospital security and the bodyguards in the car behind to come and help him clear the way.

But thinking about the purpose of his coming to the hospital, he did not do so.

He rolled down the window a crack, deliberately put on a helpless expression, and said to the reporters outside, "Three questions, and I'll leave."

Since the boss had spoken, naturally no one among the reporters dared to refute.

Then a reporter at the front asked loudly, "Why did Mr. Hanyu come to visit Hibari Misora?"

The reporter's question was quite clever. He did not directly ask whether Hideki Hanyu came to visit Hibari Misora, but instead asked why.

In this case, if Hanyu Hideki was not visiting Misora ​​Hibari, he would directly answer no.

But if Hanyu Hideki comes to visit Misora ​​Hibari, he will take the opportunity to tell the reason for the visit.

Hanyu Hideki did not lie and answered directly, "Because my family and I like Misora-senpai very much, so after hearing from a friend that she was seriously ill, we decided to come and visit her."

After the first question was answered, various questions followed one after another.

The types of questions vary.

Some asked Hanyu Hideki about the development of cloud entertainment.

Some are asking what they think about the performance of their artists.

Some are asking about your opinion on the turmoil in the upper echelons of Neon.

Some people even asked him how he felt about topping the Japanese writers' income ranking for the seventh time in May.

However, Hanyu Hideki ignored all these messy questions and only selected two related to Misora ​​Hibari to answer.

After answering the last question, he decisively rolled up the car window.

At this time, the bodyguards and hospital security personnel had helped Hideki Hanyu clear a path. He stepped on the accelerator lightly and rushed out from the encirclement of reporters.

Fortunately, the hospital's management is strict and no media has been able to sneak in.

After Hanyu Hideki parked the car, he turned to the Sekimoto sisters in the back seat and asked, "Are you two going?"

Sister Sekimoto Natsumi shook her head, "We don't know Misora-senpai, so let's just wait in the car for Hanyu-san to come back."

"Ok."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he asked Akimoto Yasushi to get out of the car.

……

Soon, the two arrived at the floor where Misora ​​Hibari's ward was located.

The corridor was now crowded with people who came to visit.

Looking around, all you see are people from the Japanese supernatural world.

The appearance of Hideki Hanyu also surprised everyone at the scene.

They never expected that the big boss Hideki Hanyu would come to visit Hibari Misora ​​in person.

Kato Kazuya, the adopted son of Hibari Misora, who was originally greeting other guests, immediately trotted up to Hanyu Hideki at the instruction of his elders.

I saw him bow deeply at 90 degrees and greet me with great respect.

"President Hanyu, thank you very much for coming to visit my mother."

Hanyu Hideki nodded slightly and said, "I am a fan of your mother. Take me to see her."

Hideki Hanyu had some impression of this stepson of Hibari Misora.

But it’s not a good impression.

The other party is actually the son of Misora ​​Hibari's younger brother. Because Misora ​​Hibari has no children, she adopted the other party.

But compared to Hibari Misora, this adopted son is really ambitious but lacks talent.

After Hibari Misora's death, the other party inherited Hibari Misora's property and production company. However, due to lack of ability, the company suffered losses year after year, and was even forced to convert Misora ​​Hibari's former residence into a memorial hall to make money.

In the end, this guy was criticized by the media and fans because he owed a huge debt and even wanted to sell the memorial hall of Hibari Misora's former residence. However, Hanyu Hideki didn't care about the other party's behavior.

Anyway, his visit today was just a cover.

Under the guidance of Kato Kazuya, Hanyu Hideki walked towards the ward at the end of the corridor.

Wherever he passed, those people from the entertainment industry who came to visit him stepped aside, and as Hanyu Hideki moved forward, they bowed respectfully to him in an orderly manner.

Hideki Hanyu walked straight forward without looking around, accepting everyone's courtesy as a matter of course.

The might of the big boss who suppressed the whole place was clearly displayed for a moment.

Akimoto Yasushi, who was following behind Hanyu Hideki, witnessed all this with eagerness in his eyes.

If this guy were a Chinese, he might have already shouted in his heart, "A real man should live like this!"

After all, Qiu Pangpang has never hidden his ambition to succeed and dreams of becoming a Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki naturally didn't know what Qiu Pangpang was thinking. He was led by Kato Kazuya all the way and finally stopped in front of a ward door.

Kato Kazuya pointed to the ward and said, "President Hanyu, my mother is in there. Do you want to go in?"

Hideki Hanyu glanced inside through the glass on the ward door and found that Hibari Misora ​​was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. She not only had an infusion tube inserted into her body, but also had various health monitoring devices on her body.

In this situation, he wouldn't be able to see anything even if he went in.

Besides, he came here just to provide cover.

So in response to Kato Kazuya's words, he waved his hand and said, "No need, I won't bother Senior Misora ​​anymore."

After that, he told Kato Kazuya, "Don't worry about me, greet the other guests, I'll leave soon."

But even though Hideki Hanyu said this, how could Kato Kazuya dare to neglect Hideki Hanyu.

After all, all the guests present today, combined, are not as distinguished as Hanyu Hideki in terms of status, so no matter what Hanyu Hideki said, he always entertained Hanyu Hideki with respect.

Hideki Hanyu, who was just using the visit as a cover, saw Marco winking at him from a distance, so he decided to find an excuse to leave.

Just at this time, several new visitors appeared, and Hideki Hanyu immediately came up with an idea when he saw them.

The people who came were none other than the members of the Burning Department led by Ikuo Suho.

Hanyu Hideki immediately stepped forward and exchanged a few polite words with Suho Ikuo, then handed Kato Kazuya to a few others and took the opportunity to meet up with Marco.

Then, Hideki Hanyu entered an empty ward at the end of the corridor.

"Where are they?" Hanyu Hideki asked Marco.

"I'm already here. I'll be here after the visit."

Not long after Marco finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open and an old man in a black suit walked in.

The man walked up to Hanyu Hideki and said politely, "President Hanyu, long time no see. You haven't changed at all."

Hanyu Hideki first signaled Marco to go outside and guard, and then said to the old man, "Senior Chiba, you are too polite. This matter still requires everyone's concerted efforts..."

Next, one person after another entered the ward.

After communicating with Hideki Hanyu, they left one after another.

Hideki Hanyu stayed in this ward for almost an hour.

When he finally walked out of the ward, most of the entertainers who had come to visit Hibari Misora ​​in the corridor outside had already left.

Hideki Hanyu ignored it and went straight back to the parking lot.

On the Kuiniu off-road vehicle, Hanyu Hideki found that only the Kanmoto sisters were there, so he asked casually, "Isn't Akimoto Yasushi back?"

Natsumi Sekimoto replied, "He came back a long time ago, but when he saw that Hanyu-san was not there, he left on his own."

"Then forget about him. Let's go home and eat first. We have been hungry for so long."

After saying this, Hideki Hanyu drove the Sekimoto sisters back to the Yorozuya.

As for what happens next, how the scumbag and the Sekimoto sisters enjoy delicious food at the Yorozuya and how they study the ultimate mysteries of life and love, there is no need to go into details here.

……

The next day.

After seeing off the Sekimoto sisters, Hanyu Hideki drove his flashy Lamborghini X5 to the headquarters of Yunshang Entertainment.

He took the elevator directly to the top floor and entered Hirohashi Asako's office.

After he sat down casually and the branch manager's female secretary went to pour him tea, she heard Hirohashi Asako's question.

"How was our meeting yesterday?"

Hanyu Hideki answered confidently, "I will personally take action, so there will be no problem at all."

Hirohashi Asako asked, "How should we deal with this?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "We can only ask them to keep a low profile for a while. The turmoil at the top won't last long."

"What news did you hear, Hanyu-san?" Hirohashi Asako asked curiously.

"I……"

Just as Hanyu Hideki was about to answer, Hirohashi Asako's secretary knocked on the door to bring him tea. He immediately stopped talking and asked the other party to bring the tea in first.

Then, after the secretary left and closed the office door, he spoke to Hirohashi Asako in a serious tone.

"The investigation of Neon Telephone Corporation will be completed in two months at most, and by then a large number of people in the upper echelons will voluntarily resign."

As he spoke, he stood up and moved closer to Hirohashi Asako, lowering his voice and saying, "Some forces have already begun to join forces with my people, and when the time comes, Zi Ye will definitely step down. By then, no one will pay attention to it, and no one will dare to pay attention to Xidu Group."

Hirohashi Asako covered her mouth in surprise.

Such an ordinary action is very rare to see this woman at the helm of Yunshang Entertainment, who is a well-known strong woman in the industry and is decisive in her work.

The reason why Hirohashi Asako did this was entirely because the person mentioned by Hanyu Hideki is now the Prime Minister of Japan.

She had not realized before that Hanyu Hideki's current strength was enough to participate in such things.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "But he just took office at the beginning of this month. If he stepped down in just two months, it would be too exaggerated.

And if Hanyu-san does this, will he be implicated? "

Hanyu Hideki said with a relaxed smile, "Don't worry, I won't have any contact with these people. Even if they turn things upside down, it won't involve me."

Hideki Hanyu didn't care at all about what Hirohashi Asako was worried about.

Looking at all the turmoil in the upper echelons of Japan, those who were pushed to the front to apologize publicly and bear all the consequences and punishments were all puppets thrown out by the big guys.

Are you kidding? A behind-the-scenes boss like Hideki Hanyu who controls capital and power will always have clean hands and must have clean hands.

"Okay, don't worry about me."

After comforting Hirohashi Asako, Hanyu Hideki thought about the purpose of his visit today and asked Hirohashi Asako.

"How is the funding you mentioned last time going?"

Hirohashi Asako replied, "We are still collecting funds. Do you want to use it now?"

Hanyu Hideki first shook his head, then spoke in a mysterious manner.

"I need Qianzi-san to be prepared. Once you receive my notice, immediately and deliberately release the news that we are raising funds."
