Chapter 1294: We are going to do

Near the end of the workday, Yin Tangxiuyi arrived at the Shuyou Building with the list of winners for the Tokyo International Film Festival and began communicating with Fangcun Dayou~

"Naoki-san's movie has already started filming, right?"

Fangcun Dayou flipped through the winner list in his hand and said to Yin Tangxiuyi, who was on the sofa,

"Everyone has already gone to Jurassic Island!"

"After the blessing ceremony, the official filming should begin."

Yin Tangxiuyi said casually, his gaze also looking at the winner list in his hand... this was the final result of the 3rd Tokyo International Film Festival Grand Prize.

Naturally, "Departures" won the highest award with a huge advantage... the Golden Cherry Award~

This movie, which was originally intended to compete for the grand prize, won the praise of many judges for its unique cultural heritage, warm narrative, and special filming and editing techniques, and was called an excellent movie that could promote Japanese culture!

"Then, will Naoki-san come to attend the closing ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival?"

Fangcun Dayou raised his head and asked curiously,

"After all, it's on Jurassic Island... and he can't get away during filming..."

"He definitely has to come!" Yin Tangxiuyi affirmed, "Not to mention anything else, the two leads are both important stars; they can certainly spare a day to participate in this important closing ceremony."

"Hmm, that's true..."

Just at this moment, the office door was knocked, and Watanabe Eiichiro from the publicity department walked in.

"Dayou-san, Xiuyi-san..."

After greeting the two big bosses, he handed the photos and manuscript in his hand to Fangcun Dayou,

"This is the press release for Naoki-san's opening ceremony; please take a look, Dayou-san..."

"So fast..."

Fangcun Dayou took it, glanced at the photos, and then began reading the press release.

Yin Tangxiuyi, however, was a bit curious; he walked over and took the photos to look at them:

"Oh ho? The one blessing it was changed to his apprentice; looks very impressive~"

"The male lead is Harrison Ford... feels like he's gained a bit of weight... the female lead is Tian Zhongyuzi... hmm, looks like she's lost quite a bit of weight..."

Fangcun Dayou replied while reading the press release:

"After all, the affair between Tian Zhongyuzi and Sawada Kenji caused a huge stir, and Tian Zhongyuzi hasn't had any works since 'Yasha' several years ago... the pressure must be immense~"

Because of her romance with Tian Zhongyuzi, Sawada Kenji officially divorced his wife at the beginning of the year... this also labeled Tian Zhongyuzi as a "homewrecker," which is a very bad reputation in Japan...

"Hahaha, because of love..."

Yin Tangxiuyi shook his head, seemingly feeling it wasn't worth it for this relationship. After all, before this, Tian Zhongyuzi had already gained great fame because of "Oshin," and then won the Blue Ribbon Award; her career was just on the rise~

"But come to think of it, Sawada Kenji can be considered a man who takes responsibility! He gave all 1.8 billion to his ex-wife..."

Even for a king of rock music, this 1.8 billion could be considered all the money he earned in the first half of his life!

"Yeah... 1.8 billion! That's a lot..."

Fangcun Dayou put down the manuscript in his hand and sighed endlessly... even though he was the dignified CEO of the Shuyou Group, he couldn't earn that much money!

However, as his thoughts turned, he became happy again:

"But once Naoki-san's operation in the United States ends, I'll probably have 10 billion?! Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like much! Hahaha~"

"Haha~"

Speaking of this point, Yin Tangxiuyi also laughed. He also participated in Naoki-san's operation, but unfortunately, he only invested 600 million... but adding his previous savings, his net worth was also nearly 10 billion~

The laughter of the two big bosses echoed in the office, causing Watanabe Eiichiro on the side to shrink his body tightly to reduce his presence... he seemed to have heard some incredible inside information...

Naoki-san seemed to have made a bloody profit in the US stock market crash through a secret operation, taking Dayou-san and Xiuyi-san with him?!

Could it be that the news circulating from the United States during this time, that Japanese capital manipulated the stock market crash, was true?!

At this moment... Watanabe Eiichiro really wished he had the constitution of Araki Shizhi... he didn't want to be silenced by the two big bosses!!!

"Ah... cough cough~"

Fangcun Dayou only then realized there was another person in the office and stopped his laughter with a cough,

"Eiichiro... you heard it just now, right?"

"......."

Watanabe Eiichiro gave an awkward smile; there was no point in quibbling at this time,

"Congratulations to Dayou-san, congratulations to Xiuyi-san!"

"Eiichiro-kun is also an old employee of Shuyou... it's nothing that you heard it..."

Fangcun Dayou nodded with a deep expression:

"Just don't talk about it outside~"

Hearing this, Watanabe Eiichiro quickly patted his chest to guarantee:

"Please rest assured, I am loyal to Shuyou!! I will absolutely not say anything randomly!"

"Hmm~"

"Haha..."

Yin Tangxiuyi was not as serious; he patted Watanabe Eiichiro on the shoulder,

"Actually, it's nothing... just making money following Naoki-san..."

"Eiichiro-kun, if you want to make money, listen to my advice... just invest your money in Shuyou Capital; Naoki-san is the most genius trader I have ever seen! I remember Zhengxiao-kun and the others also made quite a bit this time..."

Yin Tangxiuyi blinked his eyes,

"And for Shuyou Group employees, Shuyou Capital has special preferential treatment!"

"Hai..."

Thinking of the time during the stock market crash in the past, Xiaosen Zhengxiao and some of the more core members all had smiles on their faces... Watanabe Eiichiro was a bit tempted; it looked like they made quite a bit!

Fangcun Dayou handed the press release back at this time:

"Eiichiro-kun, that's fine! Just use this press release to send it out!"

"Hai, I understand!"

After Watanabe Eiichiro went out, Fangcun Dayou was a bit puzzled:

"Do Shuyou employees have preferential treatment?"

"Haha, no! Shuyou Capital treats everyone equally..."

Yin Tangxiuyi didn't feel embarrassed about lying at all,

"I just thought of it on the spot; if Shuyou employees have preferential treatment at the investment bank, it will make the company's cohesion even stronger!"

"Anyway, just tell Naoki-san's side, pick a dedicated investment manager to manage it, and reduce the commission a little... following Naoki-san won't lead to losses~"

"......."

Fangcun Dayou was stunned for a moment, actually thinking that what Xiuyi-san said made a lot of sense!!

If they operated like this, Shuyou employees would definitely be the most united group company in the entertainment industry!

"It seems that Xiuyi-san has indeed learned something after being the president of the Film Association for so long!"

"Haha, that's for sure!"

Yin Tangxiuyi boasted for a while and suggested to Fangcun Dayou,

"Dayou-san, I'm in a very good mood right now... why don't we go for a drink tonight!"

"... this, I do have to go to Roppongi for a drink..."

Fangcun Dayou's expression was a bit strange,

"However... this time we are going to do some bad things... is Xiuyi-san sure you want to come along?"

"... Dayou-san, the way you put it makes me even more interested!"

At the high-end club "Carne" in Roppongi, Fangcun Dayou booked a luxury suite today.

It was similar to a presidential suite in a hotel, with a bathroom and a bedroom... but the main things were karaoke and various other entertainment facilities.

And before Fangcun Dayou arrived, there was already one person in the room~

The lights in the room were already on, dim and carrying a bit of ambiguous pink... Club waiters Xiaogu Jianai and Wu Jing Qingren sent over fruit platters and drinks, and then began to build a drink tower on the coffee table in the center of the room.

"Wu Jing..."

After placing the fruit platter, Xiaogu Jianai, as a girl, suddenly felt a bit chilly,

"Didn't they say a guest had already arrived? Why is there no one?"

"Maybe they went to pick someone up..."

Wu Jing Qingren was carefully stacking wine glasses; a drink tower looked high-end and beautiful, but for the person building it, it required a lot of care... especially when the lighting wasn't good~

"But... why do I feel a chill..."

"The air conditioning must be set too low!"

Wu Jing Qingren was a bit impatient,

"Jianai-chan, don't disturb me at this time... if a crystal glass breaks, we'll have to pay a lot of money!"

"......"

Xiaogu Jianai, feeling a bit aggrieved, could only stop talking, but her eyes scanned the room... under the dim, psychedelic lights, she really didn't see anyone else present...

"What's going on... it's weird..."

But fortunately, Wu Jing Qingren had already finished stacking the drink tower, and after filling it with drinks, the preparatory work was completed.

"Alright, Jianai-chan, let's go... don't disturb the guests..."

"But there are no guests?"

"If they come back from outside and bump into us, it won't be good... guests in suites value privacy very much..."

"Alright~"

The two whispered to each other as they retreated from the room, and then closed the door.

The room was quiet for a while, and then a figure walked out from the shadows...

Xu Mudao Xu held a high-definition camera, feeling a bit helpless:

"Looks like my ability has regressed... I was actually sensed by the waiter? But the Rolex has already been put away?"

He looked around his body, then took off a titanium silver necklace from his neck and put it away... this was a gift from his girlfriend, who said this necklace had some magnetic field that made it easy to find him... it must have been because of this necklace~

Today, Xu Mudao Xu came with a mission; he was going to take private photos of someone later... as a secret weapon!

Although hidden cameras had already been installed in the room, with this kind of dim lighting, he still needed close-up, high-definition photos to ensure the scene was clear...

Because this matter needed to be kept secret, and the only trusted core backbone of Shuyou who could ensure photos were taken without being discovered was Xu Mudao Xu, who had special abilities... so he was entrusted with this matter by Fangcun Dayou!

By the time Noda Yoshihiko was driven to the club by Chuan Yuan Wuchun, Fangcun Dayou and Yin Tangxiuyi were already waiting for him in the private room!

"Noda-kun! You're late!"

Fangcun Dayou greeted him with a smile,

"We've already started drinking!"

"Sumimasen, during the campaign, a voter insisted on asking questions..."

Noda Yoshihiko naturally apologized with a smile as well.

Now that it was time for the Diet re-election, he was aiming to become a Diet member and was fully engaged in campaign activities.

However, thanks to Shuyou's financial and personnel support, both the venues and activities were very smooth, and the voters gathered each time were numerous...

"Haha, come come come, a penalty drink, a penalty drink!"

Yin Tangxiuyi smiled and raised a glass of champagne, handing it to Noda Yoshihiko... rather than a penalty drink, champagne was more like a thirst-quenching beverage~

He naturally also knew Noda Yoshihiko, and had even met him after Noda Yoshihiko came to Tokyo... during the period, he occasionally accepted Fangcun Dayou's invitation to get on good terms with Noda Yoshihiko.

After all, Noda Yoshihiko could be considered the first politician Shuyou supported, and he had great potential... if the election went smoothly, there would be plenty of time to deal with each other in the future!

"Arigato~"

Noda Yoshihiko took the champagne and downed it very boldly; it wasn't his first time coming to a club to relax, and he had already learned to relax and enjoy himself... campaigning was very tiring~

"How come Xiuyi-san has time today?"

"It's not that the Tokyo International Film Festival closing ceremony matters have come to an end, so I'm taking the opportunity to rest."

Yin Tangxiuyi said with a smile.

Actually, he was dragged over by Fangcun Dayou after hearing that they were going to do "bad things." Who knew it was to get dirt on Noda Yoshihiko...

And Fangcun Dayou even said he was getting old and was afraid he couldn't out-drink Noda Yoshihiko, a young man, and needed Xiuyi-san's help... even though he was clearly old but still strong, and his drinking capacity was getting better and better...

"Oh? Tokyo International Film Festival?"

Noda Yoshihiko's eyes lit up; this was a top-tier traffic event. If he could show his face here, then more people would remember his name.

"Yeah... it's being held in two days, and the list of grand prize winners is already out..."

"The grand prize winner must be Naoki-san from Shuyou, right?!"

"Haha, that's for sure... 'Departures' is well-deserved!"

"Then what about the others?"

"The runner-up winner is..."

Noda Yoshihiko listened to Yin Tangxiuyi sharing the behind-the-scenes of the Tokyo Film Festival competition, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart... when he was a council member in Chiba Prefecture, he had no channels to know such behind-the-scenes news in advance, and now he could even offer his own opinions...

This even gave him the illusion that he could manipulate the Tokyo entertainment industry~

Although he also knew that Yin Tangxiuyi being so close must have a motive, at worst, he would just repay Shuyou after he was elected as a Diet member~

Sure enough, coming to Tokyo to run for Diet member was the right choice!

A man cannot be without power for a single day!

In the gaps of their conversation, Fangcun Dayou had already used the landline to have the young ladies from the club come up! And at this time, Fangcun Dayou was even enthusiastically introducing a plump lady...

"This one is a well-known Mama-san in Ginza... a great beauty known far and wide~"

"Nice to meet you, I am Haraguchi Motoko..."

Haraguchi Motoko, wearing a simple and elegant kimono, bowed slightly to greet them. The gentleness when she lowered her head was just like the shyness of a water lily... the mature and charming style instantly captured Noda Yoshihiko, this tough young man born into a military family...

"Nice to meet you... I am Noda Yoshihiko..."

"......"

The dim, ambiguous lights, the drinks going back and forth, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly heated with the arrival of the young ladies.

Laughter, urging to drink, and the sounds of singing and dancing... the atmosphere had reached its peak!

And Haraguchi Motoko, who wandered through the world of wind and dust, naturally knew how to observe and cater to others, making Noda Yoshihiko burst into hearty laughter from time to time...

Fangcun Dayou and Yin Tangxiuyi on the side occasionally revealed strange looks, which vanished in an instant amidst the toasting.

As the night deepened, it was unknown whether it was the wine that didn't intoxicate the person but the person intoxicated themselves, or if it was the spring scenery before them that made the person lose their way, but Noda Yoshihiko, who had always had a good drinking capacity, didn't know why, but he actually got drunk early on Haraguchi Motoko's shoulder...

"Noda-kun?!"

Fangcun Dayou, who had drunk quite a bit, asked in a drunken tone,

"Come, have another drink!"

"Fangcun-san... Noda-kun is already drunk..."

Haraguchi Motoko explained kindly... as a Mama-san, she naturally didn't get drunk easily...

"I'm not drunk!"

Noda Yoshihiko babbled, closing his eyes and hugging Haraguchi Motoko's shoulders, and even let out a silly laugh...

"Hehehe, Haraguchi-san, let's... let's have another drink!"

"....."

Yin Tangxiuyi was also a bit blurry-eyed, but fortunately, he had the intention of being on guard today, and his consciousness was still very clear:

"Dayou-san, it looks like Noda-kun can't take it anymore..."

"I think it's about time... how about we call it a day for today?"

"How can that be, I haven't had enough yet!"

Fangcun Dayou shook his head,

"I still have to go to the next round! There are friends in 'Lotus' at this time..."

"Then what about Noda-kun? Should we have the driver take him back first?"

"The driver still has to take us over..." Fangcun Dayou said, "Anyway, there is a bedroom here... just let Noda-kun rest for the night... we'll come to pick him up tomorrow..."

He said to Haraguchi Motoko:

"Haraguchi-san, help us take care of Noda-san! He is a future big shot! You must entertain him well! Satisfy any of his requests!"

"Hai~~"

Hearing Fangcun Dayou's words, Haraguchi Motoko nodded; what hadn't a Roppongi Mama-san experienced when it came to drinking and sleeping with guests~

So, after a burst of noise, only Noda Yoshihiko and Haraguchi Motoko were left in the room...

"Noda-kun... come... let's go to the bedroom..."

"Hmm? Where are Dayou-san and the others?" Noda Yoshihiko opened his eyes and asked vaguely.

"Noda-kun... they went to continue drinking, let me take care of you..."

"Arigato..."

"Come, take off your coat..."

"Noda-kun, stand steady, you're going to fall!"

"Eh, Noda-kun... you're pressing on me..."

"Noda-kun..."

"Noda..."

As if inadvertently, and as if on purpose, the two fell onto the bed by mistake... Noda Yoshihiko seemed to be drunk, and seemed not to be drunk, taking the Roppongi Mama-san into his arms...

In short, one was willing to hit and the other was willing to suffer; under the dim lights, the two figures were entangled in an ambiguous atmosphere...

Only what neither of them knew was that this scene had already been clearly recorded by several cameras and one person!

And these photos and videos, as well as more photos and videos that might exist in the future, would become one of the most direct "dirt" for Shuyou to keep Noda Yoshihiko in check...

"......"

Watching the two entangled, the voyeur Xu Mudao Xu secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, he came from a background of shooting adult magazines; others might not necessarily have such composure!

"My sacrifice this time is too great!"

Xu Mudao Xu's expression was deep,

"If Dayou-san doesn't double my year-end bonus, it won't be justified!"
