Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 908 Helping the Good Guy

Hanyu Hideki walked back, and when he turned the corner and returned to the hotel area, he saw two people confronting each other.

The girl with a petite figure, pure and lovely face, and wearing a white evening dress was none other than Arimori Yami, whom Hanyu Hideki had met at an event before.

Yoshida Makiko once said that she would introduce her to him, but in the end nothing happened. Hanyu Hideki thought that she had paid off her debt.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

In another time and space, Arimori Yashiro's role as the "vicious female supporting role" in "Tokyo Love Story" was so deeply rooted in people's hearts that her popularity among the public was completely lost and her star career was greatly affected.

As a result, his career was mediocre throughout his life, and for unknown reasons he remained unmarried.

And in this time and space, it seems that Mori Yeshi's situation is even worse.

Before he even got the role in "Tokyo Love Story", he had already incurred a huge debt outside, so much so that his boss forced him to work as a prostitute.

Of course, during the period when the Japanese bubble economy burst, there were too many artists in the Japanese entertainment industry who went bankrupt and owed huge foreign debts, not just Mori Yemi.

After all, Yasushi Mieno has raised interest rates five times in a row from the end of last year to now, pushing the benchmark interest rate from 2% to 6% in one fell swoop.

Neon's economy is in turmoil and the myth of wealth is completely shattered.

From bottom to top, almost all of Neon is unlucky.

Japan's capital tycoons not only hedged their losses through overseas investments, but also took advantage of the stock market crisis to reap huge profits. Hideki Hanyu was just one of them.

In this situation, the plight of the entertainment industry is just a microcosm of the collapse of the Japanese economy.

Of course, listening to the conversation just now, Arimori Yeshimi is actually more unlucky because she has a sick mother.

I just don’t know if there is a father who is a gambler.

If so, combined with her broken self, the elements of the heroine of this short story are complete.

Of course, the reason why Hideki Hanyu came back was not because he sympathized with Yami Arimori.

Except that his name was mentioned during their conversation.

Hideki Hanyu was mainly considering the upcoming film "Tokyo Love Story".

He had just made up his mind to use the original crew for the filming as much as possible, so it was naturally impossible for one of the important supporting actresses to get into trouble before that.

If he wants to do some business, it won’t be too late to wait until the filming of "Tokyo Love Story" is finished. In short, just don’t ruin his plans.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki looked again at the man who stopped Arimori Yami.

As expected, it was the president of Space Craft, the agency where Arimori Yami worked.

If I remember correctly, the other person seems to be called Kazuo Onishi, who is also the founder of Space Craft.

Hideki Hanyu does not have many memories of this firm in later generations.

All we know is that a voice actor who is very familiar to domestic anime fans in later generations, Aya Hirano, who dubbed famous anime such as Haruhi Suzumiya and Death Note, is affiliated with this matter.

At this moment, Onishi Kazuo and Arimori Yami, who were talking, also noticed Hanyu Hideki walking over.

It was impossible not to pay attention. Hideki Hanyu came alone, followed by a large group of entourage including assistants, bodyguards, etc. It was difficult not to see him.

The moment he recognized Hanyu Hideki, Ohnishi Kazuo's face changed instantly.

Their conversation just now must have been heard by Hanyu Hideki.

Onishi Kazuo did not feel any burden about arranging for Arimori Yami to perform, after all, this was the rule in the Japanese entertainment industry.

What frightened him was that he mentioned Hanyu Hideki's name when he was teaching Arimori Yami a lesson.

Although there was nothing offensive in his words, there was even a hint of flattery.

But who can guess what the big shots are thinking? What if Hanyu Hideki doesn't like being mentioned behind his back? Wouldn't he be in trouble today?

Thinking of this, Ohnishi Ikko no longer cared about Arimori Yashiro, and immediately trotted up to Hanyu Hideki and bowed deeply without any image.

He apologized humbly, "President Hanyu, I'm so sorry!"

Hanyu Hideki ignored Ohnishi Kazuo and walked straight up to Arimori Yami. While the girl had a dazed expression, he asked a question.

"Does your father like gambling?"

"Nani?"

Facing this question from Hanyu Hideki, Arimori Yami's dazed expression showed a hint of bewilderment.

Obviously, the girl had no idea why Hanyu Hideki, who suddenly appeared, would ask her such a question.

At this time, Ohnishi Ikko, who was ignored by Hanyu Hideki, ran over and whispered to Arimori Yami, "Hurry up and answer President Hanyu."

But after giving the reminder, as if worried that Arimori Yami would be slow to react and make Hanyu Hideki unhappy, Ohnishi Kazuo took the initiative to explain to Hanyu Hideki.

"President Hanyu, do you have any misunderstanding? Although Arimori's father abandoned Arimori and his mother and returned to his hometown to inherit the shrine, the reason was that his business failed."

Hanyu Hideki nodded, "I see."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Onishi Kazuo and Arimori always felt that there seemed to be a bit of disappointment in Hanyu Hideki’s tone.

At this time, Arimori Yami finally reacted and spoke up, "President Hanyu, my father doesn't like gambling."

Ohnishi Kazuo quickly replied, "That's right, although Arimori's father lost all the family's money in business, causing Arimori's mother to have no money to see a doctor, he did not have a gambling habit."

"That sounds about right. It can barely be considered the heroine."

Hanyu Hideki's mumbling made the two people in front of him seem even more strange. He thought that the thoughts of important people were really hard to guess.

However, Hanyu Hideki was just in a bad mood. When he saw the puzzled expressions of Arimori Yami and Ōnishi Kazuo, he became serious again.

"I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation.

But since the artist doesn't want to, why should the president of the drama club force him too much? What's more, he is a good kid who wants to pay for his mother's medical treatment and is in debt. "

Upon hearing this, Daxi Yixing looked frightened, but then he sighed and explained with a complicated expression.

“President Hanyu, I had no choice but to do this.

Last year, in order to raise money for his mother's medical treatment, Arimori Yami followed others and invested in stocks. However, not only did he not make any money, but he also owed tens of millions of dollars in debt and was chased by a debt collection organization.

Because she signed with the agency when she was 16 years old, I asked the agency to guarantee her, let those people give her more time, and even paid her mother's medical expenses.

But who knew that the stock market crisis would continue and begin to affect all industries, including our entertainment industry.

Nowadays, whether it is a TV station or a production company, many projects in the industry have been cut. Artists have fewer and fewer job opportunities, while the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and the pay is getting lower and lower.

Under these circumstances, it became difficult to operate my firm and our financial situation was precarious.

If she doesn't find a way to make money, not only will she be able to pay for her mother's medical expenses, even the debt collection agency won't be able to afford it.

If this were not the case, how could I have signed the contract for so many years and waited until now to force her to accompany the client? "

After Ohnishi Kazuo said these words, Arimori Yami's eyes suddenly turned red.

From this we can see that Onishi Kazuo should not have lied.

Of course, Hanyu Hideki believed that Ohnishi Kazuo would not dare to deceive him. After all, the information could be easily found out through investigation.

The other party's words reminded Hanyu Hideki of another thing about Space Craft.

That is in the history of another time and space, Space Craft firm introduced a new major shareholder, the Kinoshita Group, due to poor management.

This is a real estate company that engages in residential design, construction contracting, and sales in the Kanto and Tohoku regions.

According to some old, unreliable news reports, after the Kinoshita Group took over, the founder, Kazuo Ohnishi, lost control of Space Craft. Then, because the management sent by the Kinoshita Group caused a series of scandals in Space Craft, the management rights were finally returned to the founder, Kazuo Ohnishi, under pressure from public opinion.

Could it be that this history happened right now?
Arimori Yami remained unmarried and infertile for her entire life. On the surface, it was because of the trauma caused by her parents' divorce. Could it actually be related to this incident?

For a moment, all kinds of speculations flashed through Hideki Hanyu's mind.

But in the end it remained just speculation, after all, in this time and space, all this has not happened yet.

However, Ohnishi Kazuo's words greatly changed Hanyu Hideki's impression of him.

He changed from an unscrupulous president who forced contracted artists to work under pressure to a benevolent boss who had no choice but to bow to reality.

Compared to most agency operators in the industry, Ohnishi Kazuo, who can guarantee the debts of contracted artists and advance the medical expenses for the artists' families, is already the best he can be.

No wonder the other party’s firm couldn’t continue operating.

As the saying goes, a kind man cannot command an army, and a righteous man cannot do business.

Nowadays, no matter what industry you are in, good people can’t make it.

It would have been fine if Japan’s economy was thriving in the past.

The economy is bad now and life has become difficult for everyone. The good guys will definitely be eliminated first.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki felt that it was not easy to meet good people in the Japanese entertainment industry, so there was no need to let the Kinoshita Group cause trouble as in the original history.

Besides, the voice actor department of Space Craft is quite strong. If it is invested and controlled, it can fill the gap of Yunshang Entertainment.

What's more, this woman, Arimori Yami, is related to the success or failure of "Tokyo Love Story".

So if the business is just in trouble, he will just give a helping hand.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch.

If help is obtained too easily, the other party may not necessarily cherish it.

Therefore, Hideki Hanyu plans to give his opponent a test.

After having an idea in mind, Hanyu Hideki stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"Space Craft is in trouble. Maybe I can help..."

When Hanyu Hideki said this, Ohnishi Kazuo suddenly felt as if he had reached the end of his rope, but then he saw a new way out.

However, just as the joy appeared on his face, he heard Hanyu Hideki follow up with what he said.

"However, I don't like to help useless people, so if you want me to help Space Craft overcome its difficulties, President Onishi must first do a few things to prove his ability."

Upon hearing this, Ohnishi Ikko bowed deeply and said, "Whatever task President Hanyu assigns to me, I will do my best to complete it."

Hanyu Hideki hooked his finger, signaling Ohnishi Kazuo to come closer.

When the other party came closer, he whispered to him.

After a moment, after hearing clearly what Hanyu Hideki wanted him to do, Ohnishi Ikko's face immediately became extremely solemn, and he no longer had the confidence he had just now.

Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? President Ohnishi, do you think you can't do it?"

Upon hearing this, Ohnishi Yixing hurriedly bowed again and said, "President Hanyu, I can do it. Please believe me."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Very good. I will look forward to the good news from President Ohnishi."

"Then..." Da Xi was hesitant to speak.

Hanyu Hideki understood what the other party meant and said something directly to reassure the other party.

"Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised. If President Onishi proves his ability, I will immediately invest in Space Craft."

After saying that, he handed a personal business card to Onishi Kazuo.

After receiving Hanyu Hideki's business card, Ohnishi Kazuo bowed deeply to Hanyu Hideki for the nth time and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hanyu!"

"Ha ha……"

Hideki Hanyu laughed like a villain, then turned around and left with his entourage.

Ohnishi Kazuo stood up again, looked at Hanyu Hideki's back as he left, and suddenly said something meaningful to Arimori Yami beside him.

"Yousen, I have already seized my opportunity. If you want to change your current career and life, you should also seize your opportunity."

Arimori Yami understood what the president said. She looked at Hanyu Hideki who was leaving and was hesitant at first, but finally took a step forward to catch up with him.

……

Not long after walking out, Hanyu Hideki looked at the night sky above his head. Because he was disturbed by what happened just now, he had no time to think about Toho for the time being.

So he said to Marco, "Let the car come over and go home."

After Marco ordered his men to get the car, he immediately reminded Hanyu Hideki, "Boss, the lady just now followed us."

In fact, even if Marco hadn't reminded him, Hanyu Hideki had already seen Arimori Yami following him and his group carefully.

Hanyu Hideki waved at the other party and said, "Come here."

When Arimori Yashiro got closer, he asked directly, "Why are you following me?"

Arimori replied, “I want to thank President Hanyu for his help.”

Hanyu Hideki laughed and said, "Haha, I don't remember helping you with anything?"

Arimori Yami explained, "If you hadn't shown up, I would already be in the hotel right now."

Hanyu Hideki asked, "Really? So I helped you and you just said thank you?"

Arimori Yami raised his head and said, "You can thank me in any way you want."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, how could he not understand what the other party wanted to do.

He immediately smiled playfully, "Is anything really possible?"

Arimori said with determination, "Really."

Just at this moment, Hideki Hanyu's car had already driven up to the side.

Hanyu Hideki simply pointed at the car and said, "If you want to thank me, get in the car first."

It's a long night with no one to accompany you, and there are light dishes that are delivered to your door for you to enjoy. The scumbag is not the kind of gentleman who will refuse.

The next moment, Arimori Yashiro got into the car.

Following closely behind, Hanyu Hideki got on the car and without any warning, he directly hugged Arimori Yami into his arms, lifted up the little beauty's pretty face and kissed her.

Only when he realized that the person in his arms was no longer breathing normally did he let go and stopped.

"Yes, strawberry-flavored lip gloss."

Arimori Yami explained quietly, "Actually, I just ate the strawberry cake at the party."

"Really? I like strawberry cake too. Let me try some more."

After saying that, the scumbag lowered his head again.
