Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 913: I made these dumplings for this dish of vinegar

In fact, in recent years, Hideki Hanyu hasn't taken the initiative in matters concerning women.

Whether it was because of his money and resources, or because they were deceived by his appearance, women would throw themselves into his arms, and he could not bear to refuse and accepted them gladly.

But at this moment, Hanyu Hideki had to say that the moment he saw Yui Natsukawa, his long-dormant desire for beauty was revived again.

Even though Yui Natsukawa looks a little immature now, she is not yet the mature version of her 30-year-old self.

But the scumbag is confident in his ability to train the other party, and he can definitely help the other party update the version in advance.

However, although Hideki Hanyu had the idea, he did not take any action.

After all, the three little ones are still around him, and he can't do something like chasing other women in front of a woman.

And when it comes to picking up girls, you can't be too anxious, otherwise it won't be fun at all.

In response to everyone's greetings, he nodded slightly, then walked away, always maintaining the high attitude of a big boss.

However, when he walked away, he could still vaguely hear the girls' voices talking behind him.

“I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Hanyu!”

"He is so handsome, but it's a pity that he didn't even talk to us."

"It would be nice to know him."

"Don't daydream. Didn't you see who Mr. Hanyu was with?"

"Yeah, why are they skating here? Could it be..."

"Shut up! If you still want to stay in this circle, be careful with what you say."

Those faint voices of conversation gradually disappeared as Hanyu Hideki walked away.

After leaving the indoor playground, Hideki Hanyu had dinner with the three little ones, and then they returned to the Yorozuya together.

As for what happened next, it was nothing more than the three heroes of the Vitality Girls Group fighting against Lu Bu, but they were defeated one by one by the scumbag, and their army was completely routed, and they begged for mercy again and again.

……

The next day.

May 9th.

While the three little ones were still sleeping soundly, the refreshed Hideki Hanyu went out alone and headed straight to the headquarters of Crescent Moon Trading in Minato District.

When he arrived, many media could already be seen downstairs in the headquarters.

Hideki Hanyu did not get entangled with the media. He drove into the internal parking lot and went straight to the president's office.

The first moment they met, Naito Haruko came up to the scumbag and confessed her love for him.

Hideki Hanyu handed a share transfer contract to Haruko Naito, which was the 30% that he promised to Yuichi Asada yesterday.

Naito Haruko flipped open the contract and looked at it, then asked with a puzzled look on her face, "It will take some time to deliver the conditions my uncle agreed to. What are you doing for me so early?"

"This share is for you, Qingzi, not for your uncle. Whether he fulfills the conditions or not will not affect my giving it to you.

Do you really think that I gave you these shares because of President Asada's conditions?

Although my investment in Hua Xia was not as early as that of Itochu and Marubeni, the scale of my investment is far beyond theirs. I want to develop in Hua Xia, and I can succeed with or without their help.

So, there is only one reason for giving you these shares, and that is you, Haruko, because I want to give it to Haruko.

In exchange for President Asada's conditions, I just hope that Haruko's future work will be easier."

When Hanyu Hideki said these words, his tone was sincere, and there was a hint of hidden affection in his eyes as he looked at Naito Haruko.

In just this moment, the scumbag's acting skills were enough to win him the Oscar for Best Actor.

How could Naito Haruko, who already deeply loved Hanyu Hideki, withstand such "true feelings"?

She dropped the contract in her hand, threw herself into Hanyu Hideki's arms with tears in her eyes, and began to express her love.

Looking at Haruko Naito like this, the scumbag immediately thought of the word "control".

To coax a girl, you naturally have to be half true and half false.

Every word he said can actually be understood in a different way.

Now that Naito Haruko's work has become easier, doesn't it also prove that Crescent Moon Trading is developing smoothly in China?

His investments and operations in the country over the years have indeed helped Xinyue Commercial to develop in the country, but the time wasted in the process will cause Xinyue Commercial to miss the best development opportunities in the country.

As for why he dared to transfer the shares to Naito Haruko in advance before Asada Yuichi fulfilled the conditions?
The fact that he dared to do it proved that he had the confidence and strength to force Yuichi Asada to fulfill the conditions.

Even if he gave Naito Haruko shares, he still had a way to kick her out.

As a person who believes in "I would rather let the world down than be let down by the world", Hanyu Hideki is accustomed to leaving a backup plan no matter what he does.

He cannot control the betrayal in human nature, but he can ensure that those who betray him will pay the price.

But soon, he discovered that Naito Haruko, who had thrown herself into his arms, was moving more and more strangely.

Looking at the time, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly stopped him, "I still have to attend the ceremony later, and I didn't bring any spare clothes."

But Naito Haruko, who had already untied Hanyu Hideki's belt, squatted down and opened her mouth.

"I will be careful……"

"Uh!"

The scumbag sighed, and seeing that Naito Haruko directly used her greatest capital to help him, he decisively lay down and enjoyed it without saying anything.

……

At the same time, assistant Chiba Kaoru, who was preparing to go to Cannes with Hanyu Hideki tomorrow, was taking a car in the other direction of the port area.

In the moving car, Chiba Kaoru is contacting a French service company.

"My boss needs to change the yacht I booked from you to a bigger one."

"Sorry, most of our yachts are already booked due to the Cannes International Film Festival."

"There isn't one left?"

"There are also several large yachts that are over 100 feet long."

"Okay, help us prepare the largest one."

"Okay, ma'am, regarding the increased fees after the change, I need to..."

A moment later, when the service company finished introducing the details of the fee changes, Chiba Kaoru continued.

"And the model girl that was booked previously is no longer needed."

"You can cancel the service, but according to regulations, we will not refund the deposit."

“No need to return it.”

Chiba Kaoru answered simply.

Immediately afterwards, Chiba Xun communicated some other details with the service company. By the time she finished the discussion, the car had already arrived at her destination.

The headquarters of Cloud Fashion magazine.

After Chiba Kaoru, who had already made an appointment, entered the room, the receptionist led her directly into the office of the editor-in-chief, Kinda Nanase.

Editor-in-Chief Kaneda, who was busy at work, saw Chiba Kaoru and did not look down on her because she was young or just an assistant.

Instead, he immediately put down the documents in his hand, stood up and went to greet him.

"Ms. Chiba, good morning. I thought you would be late."

"Hello, Chief Editor Jintian."

Chiba Kaoru bowed and greeted politely. She did not become arrogant because of the respect shown to her by Kindaichi Shiba. After all, she knew very well that Kindaichi Shiba respected not her but Hanyu Hideki whom she represented.

After saying hello, Chiba Kaoru sat down at the invitation of Kindaichi Shiba and told him the purpose of his visit today.

"Mr. Hanyu asked me to find Chief Editor Kaneda because he hoped that Chief Editor Kaneda could cooperate with non-no magazine to launch a brand promotion photo report with the theme of Cannes International Film Festival in Cloud Fashion."

“I think it’s a great idea to shoot with the theme of the Cannes International Film Festival. Many of the brands that Cloud Fashion has partnered with sponsored the Cannes International Film Festival this year.”

At this point, Kindaichi asked the question in his mind, "But why did Mr. Hanyu want us to cooperate with non-no magazine?"

Although Yun·Shang Magazine and non-no are not competitors in terms of routes, they have rarely dealt with each other before, so Kindaichi was curious about why Hideki Hanyu suddenly made such an arrangement.

Chiba Kaoru replied calmly, "Editor-in-Chief Kaneda, Mr. Hanyu has another identity. He is a shareholder of Hitotsubashi Publishing Group. I hope you won't spread this matter.

There must be a reason why Mr. Hanyu did this, and we just need to follow his instructions.

And according to Mr. Hanyu's opinion, the cooperation does not need to be too in-depth, just let them provide some models and finally make a joint announcement. "

Although at this time Kindaichi felt that in terms of the quality of models, their Cloud Fashion was far superior to non-no magazine, after all, they had not held the "OGA (Oriental Girls Show)" for nothing over the years.

Any female model who aspires to become famous through "OGA" will basically choose to sign a contract with Cloud Fashion.

This also makes the quality of Cloud Fashion's contracted models stand out among its Japanese counterparts. If Mr. Hanyu wants models, why not just use their own?

But Chiba Kaoru has already said that this matter is related to Hideki Hanyu's status as a shareholder of Hitotsubashi Publishing Group and involves the planning and struggle of senior management. He should say less and ask less, concentrate on his work, and avoid involving himself.

"Did you say when the cooperation will start?" asked Kindaichi.

Chiba Kaoru replied, "Let's talk about it today, and everyone will set off with Mr. Hanyu tomorrow."

Kindaichi was surprised, "So anxious?"

Chiba Kaoru explained, "The film festival starts tomorrow. Do you want Mr. Hanyu to change the departure time to wait for them?" "Of course not." Kindaichi Shigen quickly shook his head in denial.

What a joke, for a big shot like Hanyu Hideki, normally only others would cooperate with Hanyu Hideki, how could he possibly ask Hanyu Hideki to cooperate with others.

Chiba Xun continued, "That's good. I have already made an appointment with non-no magazine. Please ask Editor-in-Chief Kaneda to sort out the details of the cooperation, and we will set off immediately."

"Ok."

Kindaichi immediately agreed and began to make preparations.

About an hour later, Chiba Kaoru and Kinda Seven left the Cloud Fashion headquarters and headed to non-no magazine in Chiyoda Ward.

After arriving, the two were politely received by the editor-in-chief of non-no magazine.

Kindaichi Shigen explained his purpose, and the editor-in-chief agreed after a slight hesitation.

After all, just by providing some models and cooperation resources, non-no magazine can jointly publish a theme report on the Cannes International Film Festival, which is very cost-effective.

Of course, even if there is no benefit, the editor-in-chief of non-no magazine would probably agree to it. After all, the boss behind Cloud·Fashion is Hideki Hanyu.

The other party's strength in the fashion and media circles is definitely not something he can afford to offend.

And even if the people below him didn't know, how could he not know that Hideki Hanyu had been a member of the board of directors of Hitotsubashi Publishing Group for a long time.

No matter who he offends, he can never offend the boss of the parent company.

Soon, the editor-in-chief of non-no placed the information of all the contracted models in front of Kindaichi, allowing Kindaichi to choose.

But what surprised the editor-in-chief of non-no was that in addition to selecting the items himself, Kinda VII also solemnly showed the information to the young woman who was following him.

The editor-in-chief of non-no originally thought that the young woman following Kindaichi was Kindaichi's assistant, but now it seems that this is not the case.

As if noticing the surprise of the editor-in-chief of non-no, Kinda Seventh deliberately explained in a low voice, "This is Mr. Hanyu's assistant, Ms. Chiba Kaoru."

"So he's that big boss's man." The editor-in-chief of non-no showed a look of realization.

Just at this moment, Chiba Xun had already finished reading the contract model information of non-no magazine, and asked in a calm tone, "Anything else?"

"No……"

When the editor-in-chief of non-no said this, he seemed to remember something and quickly changed his words.

"In fact, there is another group that was just selected and signed yesterday, but their information is not ready yet, and many of them were amateurs before."

Chiba Xun said, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's suitable, amateurs are fine."

Non-No's editor-in-chief asked, "They are all at the magazine office going through formalities right now. How about I ask them to come and see you directly?"

Kindaichi and Chiba Kaoru looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Soon, a dozen young and beautiful girls walked into a large studio of non-no magazine in an orderly manner.

The girls' expressions were filled with unconcealed joy and anticipation.

It was obvious that they had been informed of why they were here now.

An opportunity to travel to Cannes, France, wear haute couture sponsored by a big brand, and shoot special photos for the Cannes International Film Festival.

It is also a joint collaboration between non-no magazine and Cloud Fashion magazine, and the theme will be published by both magazines later.

If they are lucky, these previously unknown newcomers may become famous directly and skip the most difficult stage of their careers.

If you perform well enough, or are luckier, you might be noticed by a big brand and signed as an advertising model.

Although most of non-no magazine’s partners are Japanese brands.

But with the participation of Cloud Fashion magazine, everything is different.

Cloud Fashion magazine has emerged as a rising star in the fashion industry in recent years, thanks to the powerful luxury resources behind it.

If they are noticed by one of the brands like Chanel, LV, Givenchy, Dior, Gucci, etc. because of this shoot, it would be a complete step to success.

The models who walked in felt excited just by thinking about this bright future.

However, they were not completely confused. They understood that if they wanted to achieve their dreams, the first step was to be chosen by the three people in front of them.

So when everyone enters the room, they try to show off their best features, whether it's their figure or their looks, hoping to get a ticket to success.

The people sitting in front of these models were none other than Chiba Kaoru, Kinda Nanase, and the editor-in-chief of non-no magazine.

After all the models were standing in place, editor-in-chief non-no turned to Kinda Nanase and Chiba Kaoru and spoke.

"These are all the newcomers who signed yesterday. If Ms. Chiba or Editor-in-Chief Kaneda think there are any suitable ones, please let me know directly."

After the editor-in-chief of non-no finished speaking, Kindaichi Shiba glanced at all the models in front of him and frowned unconsciously.

Because in the eyes of Kindaichi, although some of these models have some talent, they obviously lack professional qualities and professional abilities.

According to the standards of King Kindaichi, none of the models in front of him were qualified to participate in a theme shoot of the level of the Cannes International Film Festival.

But Kindaichi also understood that the final decision on today's cooperation was no longer in his hands, but would be decided by Chiba Kaoru who was beside him.

Chiba Xun flipped through the simple information in her hand, and then glanced at all the models in front of her who were waiting to be selected.

Although she had found the target, she did not say it immediately. Instead, she pointed to a model and said, "Come out and introduce yourself."

The model came out and first introduced herself, and then at Chiba Kaoru's request, she showed off her figure, basic skills and other conditions.

Qianye Xun watched carefully on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking, "Teacher Hanyu said that in addition to the target, we can also select a few newcomers. This plump model in front of me may be a little exaggerated for a model, but she is definitely the type that the teacher likes."

Thinking of this, Qianye Xun said directly, "You are selected."

As soon as Chiba Xun's decision was made, the female model who had already retreated into the team suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.

On the other hand, Kinda Nanase and editor-in-chief non-no next to them both had conflicted looks on their faces and wanted to persuade Chiba Kaoru, saying that this model was not suitable.

But thinking that Chiba Kaoru came here on the orders of Hanyu Hideki, they finally swallowed their words.

After choosing one model, Chiba Kaoru immediately selected the second and third models according to Hanyu Hideki's aesthetic taste.

Kindaichi Shichi and editor-in-chief of non-no who were standing next to him also hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade him but ultimately failing to do so.

After selecting three, Chiba Xun continued to look at the models with expectant eyes, and spoke as if talking to himself.

"There are already three people. Counting the ones selected before, there is also the model from Cloud Fashion. It should be enough to choose one more person."

As soon as Qianye Xun said this, he found that the models in front of him, except for the three who had been selected, all became visibly anxious.

Kindaichi and the editor-in-chief of non-no also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the boss's assistant finally did not act so willfully.

If there were only four unqualified models, it would not have any impact on the filming. At most, I could just take these four people for a spin and not use their materials in the final publication.

However, even though the two had prepared themselves mentally, they still frowned when they saw the fourth newcomer chosen by Chiba Kaoru, named 'Natsukawa Yui'.

The editor-in-chief of non-no seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and advised, "Ms. Chiba, can you reconsider other candidates?"

As soon as the editor-in-chief of non-no said this, hope immediately rekindled in the eyes of the models in front of him who were originally not selected and were full of disappointment and frustration.

As for Yui Natsukawa, who was chosen by Kaoru Chiba, the joy on her face immediately turned into panic and worry, as well as the embarrassment of being rejected in public by the editor-in-chief of non-no.

But what made Natsukawa Yui happy was that Chiba Kaoru did not immediately follow the advice of the non-no editor-in-chief, but asked, "Why?"

The editor-in-chief of non-no didn't care what Natsukawa Yui thought and said in public, "Before she signed with non-no, she was just an amateur model in Kumamoto. Her professional ability was seriously insufficient and she needed further training. Now she is definitely unable to take on important photo shoots."

When the editor-in-chief of non-no spoke of Yui Natsukawa in public, he didn't give her any face at all.

Especially when mentioning Yui Natsukawa's amateur modeling experience in Kumamoto, there was a hint of contempt in her words.

This is understandable, after all, regional contempt chains are everywhere.

Although Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka have looked down on each other for various reasons, it does not affect their collective contempt for the "remote" Kyushu.

As a newcomer from Kyushu Kumamoto who came to Tokyo to develop her career, Yui Natsukawa is considered a country bumpkin who is not even as good as the people in the lower towns in the eyes of Tokyo people.

The non-no editor-in-chief's public disdain made Natsukawa Yui feel even more embarrassed and awkward.

After listening to the words of the editor-in-chief of non-no, Chiba Kaoru thought that what you said might make sense.

But the problem is that her boss, Mr. Hanyu, made the dumplings for the Cannes International Film Festival just because of Yui Natsukawa's jealousy.

If Yui Natsukawa can't go, I'm afraid the entire filming will be cancelled.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter what the editor-in-chief of non-no says. Chiba Kaoru’s seemingly respectful inquiry is just a show.

As for Yui Natsukawa, she must be selected.

But...

Looking at Yui Natsukawa's expression of shame and anger, Chiba Kaoru felt that the words of non-no editor-in-chief were simply assisting her boss.

Therefore, Chiba Kaoru did not immediately reject the proposal of non-no editor-in-chief, nor did she directly confirm that Natsukawa Yui would be selected.

Instead, he pretended to think for a while before speaking.

"I think this lady is in line with Mr. Hanyu's aesthetics. Why don't we ask her to get ready first and go to the airport together tomorrow afternoon, and Mr. Hanyu will decide on the spot."

After Chiba Kaoru finished speaking, she couldn't help but praise her own wit when she thought that she had already created an opportunity for Mr. Hanyu to win his favor before even arriving in Cannes.

Seeing that Kindaichi and Editor-in-Chief Non-No wanted to persuade them again, Chiba Kaoru didn't want to waste any more time and stood up and said.

"Thank you for your help. This is the end of the model selection. The rest of the preparations will be in the hands of the two editors-in-chief. Please make sure not to affect Mr. Hanyu's departure time."
