Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 608: Respect the fate of others and let go of the desire to help others

Suddenly hearing such domineering words, the two Yunshang Entertainment employees who were just talking were a little unresponsive for a moment.

They thought, there weren't any high-ranking corporate executives living in this apartment building?

Who on earth would speak to them so arrogantly?

But this voice seems a little familiar.

Although the two wanted to just leave, they were worried that the person who spoke was really some company management.

With this thought in mind, two employees who were about to go to the next floor turned back.

But when they turned around the rest platform on the middle floor, they saw the person standing at the door of the stairwell on the next floor with the dim light in the stairwell.

The two were stunned for a moment.

"President...President..."

One person stuttered, while the other was completely speechless.

How could they have imagined that the person who called them would be the big boss Hideki Hanyu.

Who can tell them why the president, Hideki Hanyu, appears in this apartment building for ordinary employees?

Seeing the two people standing there stupidly, Hanyu Hideki asked indifferently, "Where are your manners?"

The two confused employees were so frightened after hearing Hanyu Hideki's question that they quickly ran down the stairs.

The two rushed to Hanyu Hideki, bowed deeply at 90 degrees, and said in a panic, "I'm very sorry, President Hanyu."

Hanyu Hideki did not continue to pursue the issue of the two people's impoliteness, but directly asked, "Tell me, who among you saw Noriko Sakai enter the nightclub?"

When Hanyu Hideki asked this question, one of the younger men replied in a somewhat panicked tone, "It's me."

The man now regrets it very much. Why did he talk about this matter with his colleagues? Now, he has directly provoked his own president.

"When did you see it?" Hanyu Hideki continued to ask.

The young man replied, "Just now, about fifteen minutes ago, that nightclub is not far from here."

Hanyu Hideki didn't waste any words and directly said, "Take me there."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the apartment.

The young man looked at his companions, and after seeing them shrug their shoulders helplessly, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Hanyu Hideki.

After the young man followed Hanyu Hideki to the roadside not far from the apartment, he saw Hanyu Hideki get into a black Rolls-Royce and waved to him.

"Go to the co-pilot and lead the way for me."

Hearing this, the young man had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat.

The car started. The young man looked at the man in black who was driving the car with a cold face. He was so nervous that he could almost hear his heartbeat.

But thinking of what Hanyu Hideki said, he pointed to the intersection ahead and said, "Go ahead and turn right to Maruyama-cho."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the speakers on the dashboard of the vehicle. It was Hanyu Hideki in the back, "Marco, do as he says."

The young man heard Hanyu Hideki's voice, but couldn't see Hanyu Hideki who was blocked by the partition, and the tension in his heart became even stronger.

After Hanyu Hideki finished his instructions, he did not pay any attention to the young man, but fell into thought.

To be honest, he didn't care at all about how Noriko Sakai chose to live her life in private, and had no intention of interfering.

After all, after traveling through time for so long, he has already seen through the Japanese entertainment industry.

The idols here are completely different from those in China.

Japanese idols are nothing like domestic idols, and they still have a bit of true character.

Being an idol here is a job.
Idols wear various masks to play the characters that fans like and perform everything that fans want to see.

Therefore, never look at Japanese idol artists with the same eyes as you look at domestic stars.

You must never bring the Japanese idol’s image and personality on stage into the idol’s real personality in private.

An idol may be a loving person who likes cats, dogs and other small animals on stage, but he may hate these animals to death in private.

Some idol groups are about to disband any second, but they can still perform like brothers in the previous meeting.

To give a specific example, let’s take Akina Nakamori.

The audience saw the diva's image on stage as a weak and frail girl who spoke in a soft voice and sang with a sad expression.

But actually?
Except when I'm with Hideki Hanyu.

Everyone in Yunshang Entertainment knows about Akina Nakamori's bad temper. She can't count the number of agents she has personally fired since her debut on both hands.

The music producers and composers who have worked with her are simply fed up with Akina Nakamori's domineering and willful personality, and many of them say they don't want to work with her again after working with her once.

This is still the case in today's time and space. Yunshang Entertainment has strong management and is influenced by Hideki Hanyu, so many things have not happened.

In another time and space, Akina Nakamori's temper was even more unbridled. She was a well-known nightclub celebrity who had no scruples about smoking and drinking, and she never put down her cigarettes and alcohol in private.

In the later period, Akina Nakamori's singing skills declined visibly, which was closely related to these bad living habits.

In fact, what the fans like is just the Akina Nakamori on the stage, and they also put a filter on the real Akina Nakamori.

In the original time and space, Akina Nakamori fell into such a situation in the 1990s. Although it was affected emotionally, she also had big problems of her own.

When she was popular, everyone supported her, after all, she could bring benefits to everyone.

Once her popularity drops, she will inevitably be kicked when she is down, as she has offended so many people.

The reason I have talked so much is that I want to say that although the company has strict management over Japan's economy, it generally only manages the idols' on-stage part. As long as there are no problems in public, they basically rarely interfere with what the artists do in private.

As the president of Yunshang Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu is a president who does not manage specific affairs. Naturally, it is impossible for him to worry about the private behavior of artists all the time.

Not to mention him, even Hirohashi Asako and even the president of Yunshang Entertainment, Iijima Michi, rarely care about these trivial matters.

The only people who really have to worry about the private lives of artists are their agents.

But as long as it's not excessive, the agent will generally just turn a blind eye.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu doesn't care at all about who Noriko Sakai is in private.

Although he saw news about Noriko Sakai in his previous life, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathy when he saw this girl sliding step by step into the abyss.

But after traveling to this time and space, as his wealth and status increased, his personality gradually changed.

To be specific, it means becoming more rational and calm.

I also have a more thorough understanding of many things.

In his opinion, no matter how innocent, pitiful and passive Noriko Sakai appears in the media, what she did was ultimately her own choice.

Could it be possible that if Noriko Sakai didn't want to, others could force her to take drugs or tattoo her private parts?
To evaluate the ending of Noriko Sakai in her previous life, it is a bit serious to say that it was her own fault, but there is nothing wrong with evaluating it as she got what she wanted due to her character flaws.

There is a saying that goes, respect the fate of others and let go of the desire to help others.

So for Hideki Hanyu, whether or not to meddle in Noriko Sakai's affairs has nothing to do with the sympathy in his heart.

In his mind, there is only one criterion for measuring yes or no, and that is interest.

Noriko Sakai is on the rise to fame.

And with the arrival of the golden age of TV dramas in the 1990s, Hanyu Hideki was even more optimistic about the girl's future development.

Such a female idol artist who is destined to be a top-tier artist may be able to earn tens of billions of yen for Yunshang Entertainment during her career life cycle.

The indirect impact and benefits are even more difficult to measure.

In this case, if some of Noriko Sakai's private actions could undermine this interest, it would basically be challenging the bottom line of Yunshang Entertainment and touching Hideki Hanyu's wallet.

No matter whether it is an outsider or Noriko Sakai herself, no one can bear this responsibility.

Just now, when Hanyu Hideki was listening to the two people talking, he accurately heard Nojima Shinji's name.

If it was any other man, it would be fine, but the first step that took Noriko Sakai into the abyss in her previous life was because of her relationship with this Nojima Shinji.

Although the time has been advanced, Hideki Hanyu still has to be on guard.

Because Shinji Nojima is definitely a scumbag who can cause Noriko Sakai's private life to affect her career.

Since there is a possibility of affecting the profit pie of Yunshang Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu can no longer sit idly by.

So, this is why he chose to give up his tryst with the two beauties from Hong Kong and decided to take care of this matter.

Maybe it’s because of “like repels like”.

As a scumbag known as a "romantic genius", Hanyu Hideki has an inexplicable disgust for Nojima Shinji, a scumbag who harmed Noriko Sakai in his previous life and had scandals with many Japanese female artists such as Fukada Kyoko.

In addition to his dislike for Nojima Shinji, Hanyu Hideki noticed one thing from the conversation between the two just now.

That was Shinji Nojima, who was actually introduced to Noriko Sakai by Shizuka Kudo.

It seems that Shizuka Kudo and Noriko Sakai have a good relationship in private.

What a crime.

What's wrong with this green tea girl Kudo Shizuka? Why does she have to target Noriko Sakai to cause trouble?

In the previous life, the bastard Takase Yuichi was introduced, but in this time and space, the time was advanced and coincidentally, Nojima Shinji was introduced.

Hideki Hanyu didn't believe that with Shizuka Kudo's intelligence, she wouldn't be able to see what kind of person Nojima Shinji is.

This woman definitely did it on purpose.

As for the purpose, it is not difficult for Hideki Hanyu to guess that it is nothing more than competition between female artists.

After all, after Akina Nakamori retired, if Yunshang Entertainment really wanted to launch an all-round female idol to take over, it seems that the most suitable ones would be Shizuka Kudo and Noriko Sakai.

Other female artists may be more popular, such as Yuki Saito, who became famous with "Boys Over Flowers", or Kyoka Suzuki, who just became famous with "My Sassy Girl".

But neither of them is comprehensive enough.

Yuki Saito's record performance is not bad, but the way she became famous was that she sang out of tune in public, with no standard, and was praised by fans as being true to her nature, but was criticized by professional music critics. As for Suzuki Kyoka, Yunshang Entertainment had no intention of letting her develop in music at all, just focusing on being an actor.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but frown.

Whether Kudo Shizuka is scheming, a high-level green tea, has other ideas about him, or does all kinds of little tricks and actions in front of him, he doesn't care at all.

On the contrary, the current Hideki Hanyu actually admires this kind of Shizuka Kudo.

After all, a person's desire for success and want to live a better life is worth encouraging.

But the premise of all this is not to cross the bottom line.

Maybe it should be said that she should not let others find out that she has crossed the line.

This time, Shizuka Kudo did a very rough job.

It seems that after this matter is resolved, I have to find an opportunity to teach this girl a lesson.

Just as Hanyu Hideki was thinking this, the car suddenly stopped slowly, and Marco's voice rang out over the intercom, "Boss, we've arrived at our destination."

Hideki Hanyu looked at his watch and saw that only five minutes had passed.

Immediately afterwards, the car door was opened by Marco from the outside.

After Hanyu Hideki walked down, he found that the two bodyguards in the car following behind him were also approaching.

The young man who led the way stood next to the bodyguard with a nervous look on his face.

Hanyu Hideki looked at the other party and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes." The young man responded and pointed to a nightclub with flashing neon lights behind him and said, "This is the nightclub."

Hideki Hanyu looked at the nightclub sign, which read the name "Flirting".

"Flirting, ambiguity..."

Hideki Hanyu whispered the meaning of the nightclub's name.

Look at the guests coming in and out of the nightclub. In addition to the Japanese guests, there are also many guests with foreign appearance coming in and out.

As the epicenter of Tokyo's modern cultural trends, Shibuya's nightclub style is completely different from other places and seems to be more international.

However, the more foreigners there are in nightclubs like this, the more lax the control in certain aspects becomes.

To put it nicely, it means catering to international trends and learning from the open-minded spirit of foreign countries.

But to put it bluntly, it's just the unbridled venting of desires.

Following the young man, Hanyu Hideki walked to the entrance of the nightclub.

His presence, accompanied by three bodyguards in black, immediately attracted the attention of the security personnel at the entrance of the nightclub.

Although there are many foreign guests in the nightclub, the two security guards are all Japanese, and it seems that they definitely have a background in underworld. After all these years in these industries, it is impossible to run a normal business without the involvement of the underworld.

The security guard reached out his hand to stop several people and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Hanyu Hideki ignored the security guard's question and asked Marco, "Which society is in charge of this place?"

Marco has been dealing with the yakuza forces on behalf of Hanyu Hideki for many years, and he knows a lot about the distribution of power in various regions of Tokyo.

So after a little thought, Marco answered, "Inagawa-kai, but it should be managed by a subordinate club."

When he heard the name of Inagawa-kai, Hanyu Hideki immediately had an idea in his mind.

A bodyguard standing in front stared at the security guard and said, "Of course we come here to have fun. What? No movies today?"

The neon lights flickered, illuminating Hideki Hanyu and his group with colorful lights, but the light was not bright enough, and the security personnel did not immediately recognize Hideki Hanyu standing behind them.

Therefore, after hearing the bodyguard's words, he looked at them suspiciously, and then warned them in a fierce tone, "Behave yourself when you go in, otherwise you know the consequences."

"Got it." The bodyguard replied.

"Ha ha……"

After hearing these words, Hanyu Hideki thought that he had not been treated like this for a long time. He couldn't help but find it a little funny and couldn't help but chuckle.

But he just smiled. He was in a hurry to find Noriko Sakai and didn't bother to argue with these little people.

But his laughter still made the security personnel feel uncomfortable. The person who had just given the warning immediately asked, "What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"

As soon as this person said this, the faces of the bodyguards around Hanyu Hideki all changed.

Marco looked at Hanyu Hideki, waiting for Hanyu Hideki to speak, and then he would make this man suffer.

However, before Hanyu Hideki could say anything, another security guard finally saw through his eyes and realized that Hanyu Hideki and his group were not simple.

So he hurriedly pulled his companion and said, "Forget it, don't embarrass the guests."

The man was persuaded and continued in an unhappy tone, "Go in. If you cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

But Hideki Hanyu and others did not move. Whether it was Marco and others, or the young man leading the way, they were all looking at Hideki Hanyu.

In a society like Japan that values ​​hierarchy and etiquette, no one cares whether the security guard recognized Hanyu Hideki or not. All everyone sees is that the other party is ignorant of the consequences and is rude to Hanyu Hideki again and again.

Hanyu Hideki glanced at the security guard with a cold gaze and said slowly, "Let's solve the purpose of our visit first."

Then, he took the lead and walked into the nightclub with his group.

After entering the nightclub, a waiter came up to him and asked Hanyu Hideki if he needed a box or booth.

Hanyu Hideki's answer was, "I'm here to see a friend. Where is Mr. Nojima sitting?"

He asked this just to give it a try.

It's better to give it a try. What if Nojima Shinji is really there and the nightclub knows him? Wouldn't it save him the trouble of looking for him here?

But his luck was obviously very good. After hearing what he said, the waiter immediately smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Nojima's friend. His seat is in the booth over there. I'll take you there right away."

After saying that, the waiter led Hanyu Hideki and his group toward the back of the hall.

As they moved forward, the lights became dimmer and the atmosphere became more and more weird.

Hideki Hanyu was very familiar with that strange smell in his nose.

This flavor is basically standard when you go to parties in America.

Even when passing by some tables, I could see some people smoking something, including foreigners and Asians.

There were also some men and women hugging each other and doing some indescribable emotional things.

It can be seen that this nightclub is very worthy of its name.

After a moment, the waiter stopped and pointed to a booth in front and said, "We're here."

Then the waiter said to the dark booth in front of him, "Nojima-san, your friend is here."

"Nojima, have you invited anyone else?"

"Didn't they say that we're the only ones here tonight?"

"It seems that Nojima-san feels that it's not enough for us to be the only witnesses of you hooking up with a popular idol!"

In the dimly lit booth, several voices rang out one after another.

Then, a puzzled voice sounded from the center of the booth sofa, "My friend?"

Along with the voice, a young man with medium-length hair and a handsome appearance sat up straight.

And there was obviously someone in his arms.

Although Hideki Hanyu, who was standing behind the few people, could not see clearly, he could basically judge from what those people said that this should be Noriko Sakai.

At this time, the waiter who brought the guests in said goodbye to everyone in a very polite manner, "I have brought the guests here, so I will take my leave first. I wish you all a good time."

After the waiter left, Hanyu Hideki and his group were completely exposed to the eyes of Nojima and others in the booth.

Nojima also realized at the first moment that these people did not seem to be his friends.

After all, this is not the right attitude for friends to meet in such occasions.

But before Nojima could confirm who the visitor was and why they came to see him, Hanyu Hideki had already spoken.

"Nojima Shinji?"

"Yes, who are you?" Nojima Shinji asked back, and then looked up to see Hanyu Hideki clearly.

But Hideki Hanyu did not answer, but continued to ask.

"Is Noriko Sakai next to you? Did you bring him here?"

"So what? What does it have to do with you?"

Nojima Shinji, who was obviously drunk, couldn't help but choke.

"hehe--"

Hanyu Hideki sneered and said, "I'm her boss, what does it have to do with me?"

"You...who are you?"

Nojima Shinji's voice trembled a little.

But this trembling no longer contained the arrogance he had just shown, but instead contained an indescribable fear.

Because from what Hideki Hanyu said, he had already vaguely guessed something.

At the same time, no matter how dim the light was, Shinji Nojima could gradually see the outline of Hideki Hanyu standing behind Marco.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu's voice sounded, giving Nojima Shinji the final confirmation.

"I am Hideki Hanyu."
