Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 602: Shura Field? Change and the Sameness
"Matsumoto, it's a pleasure to see you here. I hope you have a good time tonight."

"Minister Nishimura, I regret not being able to attend the Ministry of International Trade and Industry's event last time. I will definitely have a drink with Mr. Nishimura this time."

"You don't have to be polite, Takaichi-san. I also want to thank you for taking care of Linzi School in Sendai...this parliamentary election...Tohoku Energy will always be your friend."

“President Fujiwara, it’s been a long time since we last met… Yes, there will be a celebration in Sendai City on Monday, and we will certainly invite our partner companies to participate.”

"Mr. Tsuchiya, I would like to thank you for your strong support for the passage of the Pachinko Copyright Business Alliance. Let's have tea together sometime. Mr. Kishida, the director of Mitsui Bank, has always wanted to meet you."

"Mr. Kida, long time no see. Oh, by the way, you should call me Minister Kida now. Congratulations to Minister Kida on his promotion to the Ministry of Culture... Minister Kida, rest assured, the Saito Group will abide by Japan's film and television restrictions and censorship. Our business is mainly oriented to overseas."

……

With a "friendly" smile on his face and "warm" words on his lips, at the entrance of the banquet hall of the New Takanawa Prince Hotel, Hideki Hanyu entertained guests one after another who came to attend the celebration of Tohoku Energy's listing.

Whether they are business people or political visitors, whether they are political support or business interests, they all have close ties with Tohoku Energy and Hideki Hanyu.

Of course, the guests who can be personally greeted by Hanyu Hideki are all of relatively important status. Relatively ordinary guests will actually be taken care of by Nakano Shigemasa and other senior executives.

Of course, being in Tokyo, the neon economic and political center, the proportion of important guests that Hanyu Hideki needs to greet is naturally a bit higher.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu seemed particularly busy today.

After a while, Hanyu Hideki finally felt that most of the important guests had arrived, and since he had a rare moment of free time after the socializing, he decided to rub his face, which had become a little stiff from smiling.

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye he saw a man and a woman walking towards him from a distance. The man was in his forties and was wearing a very formal suit.

The girl next to him looked younger, definitely no more than twenty years old, and her exceptionally beautiful mixed-race appearance was very eye-catching, and she had a mature figure that did not match her age.

Hideki Hanyu recognized them immediately as Ayano Fukuda and her father.

"Mr. Fukuda, Ms. Ayano, welcome to today's banquet."

Mr. Fukuda sent his congratulations, "Congratulations to President Hanyu. Tohoku Energy has successfully gone public. President Hanyu is indeed a rare young talent in Japan."

"I would also like to thank Mr. Fukuda for his help," Hanyu Hideki said politely.

Mr. Futian actually provided some help for the successful listing of Northeast Energy this time, but there is no need to go into details, because some seemingly invisible help actually played a crucial role.

At this time, Fukuda Ayano next to her also congratulated, "Congratulations, Hanyu-kun."

Fukuda Ayano has a mixed-race foreign face, but she speaks in a soft and tender Japanese language, which gives people a strong sense of contrast.

(You can refer to the hybrid enhanced Tamashiro TINA·Figure·Driven Figure)

Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Ms. Reina is really beautiful tonight. I hope the news about me and you didn't cause any trouble to you."

As if dazzled by Hanyu Hideki's smile, Fukuda Ayano hurriedly denied what she heard.

"No, I am an amateur after all, and the news did not reveal my real identity."

Fukuda Ayano is not talking nonsense. She is not a public figure like Hanyu Hideki, so when the media reports on her, they basically blur her appearance and do not name her specific identity.

Of course, given Fukuda Ayano's background, the media would not dare to expose it easily.

Next to him, Mr. Fukuda couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction as he watched his daughter and Hanyu Hideki chatting happily. Then he spoke in a tone as if he remembered something.

"Ayano, I see a friend who needs to go talk, so you stay here with President Hanyu, and you can also help him greet the guests."

Mr. Fukuda's matchmaking approach speaks for itself.

Hanyu Hideki felt that this matter still had some value, so he said generously, "As long as Miss Ayano doesn't mind being bored here, I'm also happy to have someone to chat with me."

And Fukuda Ayano, who had already been infatuated with the scumbag's handsome face, naturally could not refuse. The girl looked at Hanyu Hideki with eyes and said with joy and anticipation.

"I'm going to bother you next, Hanyu-kun."

Seeing this, Mr. Fukuda naturally chose to leave at the first opportunity.

Then, Fukuda Ayano really stayed by Hanyu Hideki's side like a hostess.

Fortunately, most of the important guests had already arrived at this time, otherwise, seeing this scene, who knows what kind of rumors would spread among the upper echelons.

But sometimes, accidents happen unexpectedly.

Just as Hanyu Hideki turned around and was about to return to the banquet hall.

A female voice sounded behind him.

"Does Northeast Energy already have a mistress? How come I didn't know about this?"

The girl's tone was quite strange and her emotions were very complicated.

With a hint of ridicule, a hint of unwillingness, a hint of anger...

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki turned around and saw two more guests arriving outside the banquet hall.

And they are all acquaintances.

The man on the left is Kensaku Naito, the president of Naito Securities.

The petite but extremely hot girl on the right is Naito Kensaku's niece, Naito Haruko.

The person who just spoke was Haruko Naito.

"President Naito, Ms. Naito, long time no see, welcome..."

While saying these polite words, Hanyu Hideki secretly cast a questioning look at Nakano Shigemasa who was standing in front of him.

The question in his eyes was, why did these two people appear here when they were clearly not invited.

Marubeni Corporation, to which Naito Securities belongs, is owned by the Fuji Group.

Although Hanyu Hideki had cooperated with the other party before, he was once believed by the outside world to have a tendency to lean towards the Fuji Group.

But after he took over Northeast Energy, he was inevitably labeled as a member of the Mitsui Group.

Although Mitsui Financial Systems also cooperated with other securities firms in Northeast Energy's IPO, they were all neutral securities firms.

It is absolutely impossible for a securities company like Naito Securities, which is directly affiliated with the Fuji Group's financial department, to participate.

Moreover, with the listing of Tohoku Energy, the cooperation between Hideki Hanyu and Mitsui Group has become increasingly close.

With the support of the Mitsui Group, the most powerful leader of the Neon Group, it is natural that Hideki Hanyu will not be involved with other forces.

This is also the reason why he rarely contacts Haruko Naito anymore.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, since he already has a "camp", his every move will be interpreted with deeper meaning.

Therefore, it is impossible for the two people in front of them to be on the invitation list for today's celebration banquet.

Nakano Shigemasa, who guessed what Hanyu Hideki meant by his eyes, immediately responded with a look that said "I don't know either".

However, before Hanyu Hideki could guess why the two people appeared, Naito Kensaku spoke.

He just smiled bitterly and said, "We came here uninvited. As long as President Hanyu doesn't mind, that's fine. We don't deserve to be welcomed."

Although Kensaku Naito took the initiative to admit the fact that they did not receive an invitation.

But Hanyu Hideki couldn't really drive them away. He deliberately looked apologetic and said, "I'm very sorry. It's my mistake not to invite Mr. Naito. The banquet has already begun. Please come in with me."

"Then I'll have to trouble President Hanyu." Naito Kensaku said with an awkward tone.

In fact, it was not Kensaku Naito's original intention to come here today.

He is not the kind of person who cannot see the situation clearly.

No matter how well they had cooperated with Hideki Hanyu before, today's banquet really had nothing to do with them, and it was natural for Hideki Hanyu not to invite them.

But the problem was that his niece, who was so overwhelmed with emotion, suddenly rushed back from America and begged and threatened him in every way, insisting that he come to attend the event.

Then, they came uninvited.

After Kensaku Naito finished speaking, he followed Hideki Hanyu into the banquet hall.

Naito Haruko followed closely behind, but her eyes were always on Hanyu Hideki.

And after getting closer, he suddenly said in a resentful tone, "Mr. Hanyu, if you didn't invite my uncle, can't you invite me alone?"

As soon as Naito Haruko said this, everyone at the scene had different expressions.

Nakano Shigemasa and other senior executives of Northeast Energy all kept walking, pretending to be calm, as if they had heard nothing.

After all, it is better for them to listen less to the love gossip of their boss to avoid being irritated by their boss.

Fukuda Ayano, who had been following Hanyu Hideki, sensed something wrong when Naito Haruko appeared, and looked at Hanyu Hideki with a puzzled look.

The look in his eyes clearly showed that he wanted to know what the relationship between Hideki Hanyu and Haruko Naito was.
After Naito Haruko finished speaking, she looked at Ayano Fukuda who was next to Hideki Hanyu.

In the past, no matter how many gossips about Hanyu Hideki there were, Naito Haruko didn't really take it to heart. Even when she indirectly knew that Hanyu Hideki already had an illegitimate daughter, she didn't care.

Because she understood that those women without backgrounds would never have a relationship with Hanyu Hideki. They were just some female artists, and in the eyes of these powerful people, they were just lowly characters that could be played with at will.

But this Fukuda Ayano is different.

His family has an ancestor who was a prime minister, and they are the absolute top powerful force in Japan.

This made Haruko Naito, who had a morbid possessiveness towards Hideki Hanyu, feel an unprecedented threat.

Therefore, when she accidentally heard from her Japanese friends in America about the recent gossip about Hideki Hanyu, she rushed back without hesitation after learning some details.

Then she irrationally forced her uncle to take her to the banquet.

Although she is smart and understands that given Hanyu Hideki's current position, it is a wise choice to keep a distance from her.

But when she really arrived here and saw Hanyu Hideki and Fukuda Ayano standing together, she immediately lost her mind.

She completely threw away her former calmness and intelligence.

It can only be said that a woman whose heart is occupied by pathological possessive emotions will have a more serious drop in IQ than an ordinary woman when she is in love.

In fact, just looking at the surprised look in Kensaku Naito's eyes, you can tell that Haruko Naito's performance today has simply exceeded his cognition.

As for the protagonist of the whole incident at this time, what is the attitude of our Hideki Hanyu.

Before explaining this, we must first make one thing clear.

So, what is a scumbag for girls?

If you have to give a definition, it can be explained this way.

He is a man who is perfect in every aspect except that he doesn't love you.

Obviously, for a woman, Hideki Hanyu fits this definition very well.

He has outstanding appearance, gentle temperament, seemingly gentle personality, as well as extraordinary talent and wealth.

All of these things have a fatal attraction for any woman.

But Hideki Hanyu is a man who can appear affectionate to any woman, but deep down he only loves himself.

Hideki Hanyu does not deny that he had no feelings for Haruko Naito in the past, but knowing her thoughts, he used her identity to facilitate some business cooperation.

The way he treats Fukuda Ayano now is actually the same, except that he does it better than before.

But a very important point is that Hideki Hanyu knows his limits.

He managed the distance between himself and this young lady with a good background very well.

It's not just that kind of ambiguous feeling that makes girls "desire but cannot get".

There is also the handling of the actual relationship between each other. Even if the two parties do not end up together, there will be no actual consequences.

So, if you ask Hideki Hanyu what his mentality is at this moment.

Of course, I just watched the fun with a fun mood.

One is a business lady. Her father's family is the powerful group in Itochu Corporation, the core enterprise of the Dai-ichi Kangyo Bank Group, and her mother's family is the helmsman of Marubeni Corporation, the core enterprise of the Fuji Group.

One is a young lady with a strong background. Her ancestors once held the pinnacle of power in Japan. Her family has extensive connections in the upper echelons, and behind them are the relationships between the Mitsubishi and Mitsui conglomerates.

What is equal strength? This is equal strength.

Of course, maybe there won't really be a fight between the two.

And he actually had no relationship with the two girls.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu feels that the current situation should not belong to the legendary "Ashura Field".

After all, he really has a clear conscience.

Therefore, under the gaze of Fukuda Ayano, he answered very calmly.

"Ms. Naito is studying in America, so I certainly can't disturb her studies for such a small matter."

It is easy to hear the sense of distance in Hideki Hanyu's tone.

Fukuda Ayano was very happy about this, and immediately moved closer to Hanyu Hideki.

While showing their intimacy, he glanced at Naito Haruko with a hint of pride.

I have to say, although the girl is only eighteen years old this year.

This was her first attempt at a relationship with Hanyu Hideki, but it did not prevent the girl from instantly understanding the unique female "fighting" skills when facing her "rival in love".

In response to this, Hanyu Hideki seemed unaware and did not react at all, as if he approved of Fukuda Ayano's behavior.

Seeing all this, the resentment and anger in Naito Haruko's eyes became more intense.

Of course, no matter what these two girls do, Hanyu Hideki will not take it seriously.

After all, he did not forget what the occasion was and what he was needed to do tonight.

That is definitely not about wandering around among jealous women.

So after entering the banquet hall, he decisively said to the people around him, "Everyone, I have something to talk to a friend, so I have to excuse myself for a while."

After saying that, he strode towards a part of the banquet hall.

After Fukuda Ayano glanced at Naito Haruko, she walked towards her father's seat.

Naito Kensaku promptly said to his niece, "Haruko, come with me to meet some old friends."

Although today's event is not a gathering of the Naito Securities faction, the upper circle is full of acquaintances, and you will find them wherever you go.

Besides, there is never a shortage of guys who jump back and forth among the upper echelons of Japan.

Regardless of what happens to Fukuda Ayano and Naito Haruko next, let's turn our attention back to the protagonist Hideki Hanyu.

After walking into the banquet hall, Hideki Hanyu greeted the two of them enthusiastically.

"Murayama-senpai, Hatoyama-san, there were too many guests at the door just now, so I couldn't chat with you for long. Now we must have a good drink."

The people in front of Hanyu Hideki at this time were not others, but old man Murayama and Yutaro Hatoyama.

Yutaro Hatoyama said with a smile, "Drinking in this kind of occasion is a social activity. If you really want to drink, let's go to another place after we finish."

As a result, the old man Murayama next to him immediately said, "If you want to change, you can do it. My old bones can't stand staying up all night, I have to go back and rest early."

"Forget it, let's make an appointment to have tea another day." Hatoyama Yutaro spread his hands.

However, after he finished speaking, Yutaro Hatoyama looked into the distance and asked mysteriously, "How is the young lady from the Fukuda family? I see that Hanyu-san gets along well with her."

Hanyu Hideki said calmly, "For now, we are just ordinary friends."

Upon hearing this, Yutaro Hatoyama asked old man Murayama in an exaggerated tone, "Murayama-san, do you believe what this kid said?"

Old man Murayama didn't give Yutaro Hatoyama any face at all, "What does this kid's love affair have to do with me? He's not dating my granddaughter."

"Huh? Mr. Murayama is so boring." said Yutaro Hatoyama.

"Humph, I'm not here to gossip today." After saying this, old man Murayama asked Hanyu Hideki, "Hanyu-san, have you met my youngest son?"

"Yes, he was following Mr. Murayama just now," said Hideki Hanyu.

The youngest son of Mr. Murayama is active in Tochigi Prefecture, where his family is based. He is not only a local official, but also holds multiple positions in the agricultural cooperative and the labor union.

Normally, he wouldn't leave easily, but today, for some reason, he followed old man Murayama to attend the celebration banquet.

Hearing what old man Murayama said, Hanyu Hideki understood that the other party was coming for him.

"He came here to ask for something from Hanyu-san, and he hopes Hanyu-san can give him some time to talk alone later."

In the past, Hanyu Hideki still had to rely on old man Murayama's connections and the care of the upper-class forces.

Today, Hideki Hanyu has become a huge interest group that can unite various forces and relationships.

Even old man Murayama, who has always taken good care of Hanyu Hideki, must be given due respect when he now wants to ask Hanyu Hideki for something.

Although Hideki Hanyu's attitude towards old man Murayama remains the same as before, there is no obvious change.

But the change in his identity and strength is already an established fact.

"No problem, we can talk as long as we want. How about I come to see Mr. Murayama after Nakano Shigemasa finishes his speech?" Hanyu Hideki agreed readily.

Seeing this, old man Murayama was very pleased and said, "Okay, see you later."
