Chapter 255: Chapter 245: I Have Acquaintances in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Main Character Template_2

Nakamori Akina felt helpless, her red lips parted in a tired yawn, her eyes blank and lost, her face showing an expression of having no desire to live as she got up to her knees and demonstrated her vocal skills.

Ever since she became a person of Aoyama Xiu Xin,

Not only did she strain her voice during performances,

She also had to strain it when she wasn’t performing.

"Done for, damn it, I have a performance in a couple days, how am I supposed to sing now?" Nakamori Akina said with a desire to cry, her voice slightly hoarse.

Aoyama Xiu Xin said, "I’m helping you warm up your voice, isn’t that what all you singers need to do?"

Nakamori Akina rolled her eyes, feeling that if she continued to be treated this way for much longer, her career would end prematurely due to her ruined voice.

"Akina, how about... we get insurance for your voice? With me as the beneficiary?"

"Damn! Please don’t bother me, I’m tired."

...

The next morning, Aoyama Xiu Xin woke up to find the space beside him empty; Nakamori Akina had gotten up and left earlier, her schedule was busy after all.

A big star, after all, being busy meant she hadn’t cooled down.

After washing up, Aoyama Xiu Xin went downstairs and saw Mrs. Yanahara tinkering with breakfast, wearing a gray long dress with straps, her curves graceful, exuding a married woman’s charm.

"Sir, you’re up just in time, last night must have been tough, please have breakfast," Mrs. Yanahara said with a smile and a voice so gentle it melted his heart.

"Hi! Thank you for the hard work, Mrs. Yanahara," Aoyama Xiu Xin slightly bowed in gratitude, went to the living room to turn on the TV, and then headed to the dining table; he always listened to the news every day.

While eating, he suddenly remembered something and said to Yehua Yiren, "In a few days, I will be attending the Crown Prince’s engagement banquet. Please prepare a congratulatory gift for me, nothing too luxurious, something passable will do."

"Hi!" Yehua Yiren nodded slightly in response.

"Dingling, dingling!"

The phone rang.

"Moshi moshi," Aoyama Xiu Xin answered.

"Xiu Xin, those three guests from yesterday morning came again," his sister-in-law’s gentle voice entered his ear.

Aoyama Xiu Xin hadn’t expected Suzuki Tarou to actually turn up, this guy really could swallow his pride, he chuckled lightly and said, "I’m busy, I can’t come back, please tell them to go directly to the dock, register with their names, and pick up the goods. I’ll have a word with the Security Hall."

The fact that Suzuki Tarou showed up again meant he had conceded. He just wanted to retrieve his detained cargo twice to minimize his losses.

It’s best to be forgiving where one can, Aoyama Xiu Xin had already achieved his objective to make an example out of him, there was no need to push Suzuki Tarou to continue causing trouble.

"Hi! Work is important, but so is health, Xiu Xin, make sure to rest and not overwork yourself," Aoyama Haruko cautioned patiently.

"Hi! Please rest assured, big sister."

After hanging up, Aoyama Haruko walked over to Suzuki Tarou, Inoue Jiu Xi, and Panasonic Jiezi, bowed slightly, "Xiu Xin said you three can go directly to the dock to pick up the goods, he will speak to the Security Hall."

Suzuki Tarou sighed with relief, he was prepared for humiliation before coming, not expecting Aoyama Xiu Xin to be so generous, which embarrassed him somewhat.

"Lady, please tell Mr. Aoyama we’d like to sell both the cargo and the ship to him, we’re not looking for a high profit, just to get our capital back," Inoue Jiu Xi stood up and returned a bow, his tone gentle and sincere.

Suzuki Tarou and Panasonic Jiezi stood up as well.

"Is that so? Please hold on," Aoyama Haruko walked briskly to call Aoyama Xiu Xin again.

Aoyama Xiu Xin said, "Big sister, tell them I will purchase at above market price."

"Hi!" After hanging up, Aoyama Haruko returned to the living room and informed the three men.

Suzuki Tarou hadn’t expected this pleasant surprise.

He thought he would just maintain his pride to preserve his investment, but he hadn’t expected to make a small profit as well.

Aoyama Xiu Xin had contacts in both the Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Maritime Security Bureau, and after last night, he had lost interest in continuing the business, yet he still harbored a grudge against Aoyama Xiu Xin’s arrogance. However, after this morning’s event, much of his resentment had dissipated.

"Please tell Mr. Aoyama we are thankful for his generosity," Inoue Jiu Xi bowed deeply.

Suzuki Taichiro and Panasonic Jiezi followed close behind.

Aoyama Haruko returned a slight smile and bowed in return, "Xiu Xin is not here, please forgive me for not entertaining the three of you further."

"Hey! Sorry for bothering you, ma’am. We’ll take our leave now."

The three of them bowed deeply again and left.

"Even though I know he doesn’t lack this bit, and it was intentionally done to release goodwill and ease tensions, I still couldn’t help but let go of my prejudices and developed a liking for him," Panasonic Jiezi remarked with a sigh after they left the Aoyama family home.

"To act with a sense of when to advance and when to retreat, to know the gains and losses, maybe this is why he could achieve far more than you and I by himself," Inoue Jiu Xi said, then looked towards Suzuki Taichiro, "Mr. Suzuki, let go when it’s time to let go."

"Mr. Jing Shang, you worry too much. Even if I don’t want to let go, I can’t help it. My uncle won’t stand up for me in this matter," Suzuki Taichiro said with a helpless smile.

He dared not let his uncle know about this matter.

Moreover, because he used his family’s connections to mobilize the Self-Defense Forces’ ships, he had just received a lecture about love from his biological father last night. He dared not cause further troubles.

At the same time, he also learned from his father that last night it was the Staff Director of the General Affairs Department at the Maritime Security Bureau who was pressing charges. Aoyama Xiu Xin had far-reaching connections; he truly couldn’t afford to offend.

"It’s a pity I didn’t take this opportunity to befriend him," Panasonic Jiezi sighed regretfully.

"Friendships are only possible between equals. If we don’t have our family elders, what are we? Haven’t you seen that those playmates who found their own way in their careers scarcely contact us anymore?" Inoue Jiu Xi gave a self-deprecating smile, then lifted his spirits and said, "But this time, at least we were made familiar faces; opportunities will come."

On the other side, Aoyama Xiu Xin had breakfast and then drove to the Police Headquarters to work. He had just arrived in his office and hadn’t even warmed his seat when the door was knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in."

Fujiwara Takahiro entered, bowing and handing over a document, "Director, here’s the information on Panasonic Jun."

Aoyama Xiu Xin took the document and started to look through it.

Most of it was publicly available information. Panasonic Jun’s life was inspiring; the Panasonic family was one of the few Imperial Families that had not declined. His father was the previous Family Head of the Panasonic family, but he was an illegitimate child.

His father was carefree, lacking a sense of responsibility, and his legitimate wife was strong and jealous, so his childhood with his mother was not prosperous and he often faced difficulties from his father’s legitimate wife, who his father chose to ignore.

His mother died of illness when he was 15, and he was then taken back to the Panasonic family to be raised, but unsurprisingly, life in the Panasonic family was not good.

Always striving to improve himself, he moved out of the Panasonic family after being admitted to Tokyo University and gradually reduced his interactions with them.

After graduating, he first became a lawyer and then a judge at the Osaka Family Court, later serving as a judge at the Osaka District Court and Saitama Prefecture District Court. A few years ago, he served as the Vice-President of the Tokyo District Court, and finally, he became one of the fourteen justices of the Supreme Court.

This year, 58 years old.

Rising from the grassroots, his career record was very solid, and his work ability was outstanding, earning the affection and recognition of the public during his tenure at the grassroots courts.

His lifestyle was not extravagant, but also not frugal. His wife had died early in childbirth, and he had raised his son alone, never remarrying.

Strong character, with a strong desire for power.

Not greedy for money or lustful, definitely power-hungry.

"Ah!"

In his social relationships, Aoyama Xiu Xin saw a familiar name—Panasonic Jiezi.

The information showed that Panasonic Jiezi was the current Family Head of the Panasonic family, the son of Panasonic Yu, who was Panasonic Jun’s half-brother from the same father. It’s true, Japan really is small.

"How is Panasonic Jun’s relationship with Panasonic Yu now?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked Fujiwara Takahiro while looking at him.

Fujiwara Takahiro shook his head, "Panasonic Jun has always had a poor relationship with the Panasonic family. After achieving success, he has repeatedly targeted the Panasonic family. I suspect he blames his mother’s death on them and seeks revenge."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the illegitimate child who was despised from a young age, proved himself through his efforts, achieved success, and now seeks revenge. Damn, such a typical protagonist template!"

But unfortunately, since it hindered his sworn brother, a fellow traveler Takizawa Shikou, he could only be an enemy.

Aoyama Xiu Xin pondered silently, thinking that he might be able to use Panasonic Jiezi to stir up some drama from the conflicts between Panasonic Jun and the Panasonic family.
