Chapter 67: Chapter 63: Successfully Clinging onto a Powerful Thigh, Naturally Rebellious

The next day, May 16, Saturday.

Not having to be on time for work at the police station for the next five days, today Aoyama Xiu Xin slept in for a rare occasion.

When he came downstairs after washing up, he saw a prepared breakfast on the table with a note attached.

"Xiu Xin must have been working hard recently, no matter how busy, remember to eat breakfast. I have gone to my part-time job at the florist, see you tonight." The note ended with a smiley face.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled, tore off the note, and sat down to eat breakfast. His sister-in-law had carefully covered the food, so it was not completely cold, still retaining some warmth.

At noon, Asai Ayumi drove to his house to pick him up.

Since he did not have to work today, Asai Ayumi was not wearing a suit but a white camisole dress instead.

The dress delicately hung on her creamy and exquisite shoulders, round and hefty as if ready to burst at any moment, making one fear the straps might break under the weight.

The dress was form-fitting, tracing her waist and hips enticingly, with the hem not passing the calves, while her feet were adorned with a pair of delicate silver high heels. As she walked, the movement of her dress stirred the thin layer of fabric, occasionally revealing a glimpse of her stockings.

Japanese women especially like wearing stockings, maybe because they generally do not wear shoes at home.

"The person we are going to visit is Yanchuan Shilang..." Asai Ayumi said while driving.

Aoyama Xiu Xin instantly widened his eyes at her.

Yanchuan Shilang was a top politician, having served as a National Member of Parliament, Minister of Transport, Minister of Education, Chief Cabinet Secretary, and Minister of Autonomy. He was currently the Chairman of the National Public Security Committee.

The National Public Security Committee was responsible for supervising and managing the national police, handling everything from disciplinary actions to senior personnel movements.

He had thought it would be great if Asai Ayumi could introduce him to a National Member of Parliament, but he hadn’t expected such a surprise.

"Cough..." Asai Ayumi, who was driving, felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, unceremoniously shattered Aoyama Xiu Xin’s illusion, "What are you thinking? Of course, we can’t directly disturb such a significant figure. We are meeting Yanchuan Shilang’s grandson, Yanchuan Xianyou."

"Oh." Aoyama Xiu Xin suddenly realized that made more sense, "Tell me about this person."

"Yanchuan Xianyou is the only male of this generation in the Yanchuan family. His grandfather is a politician, and his father is the president of Kintetsu Corporation. He’s wealthy and powerful, and has been doted on since childhood, which makes his personality a bit haughty. So, you must be respectful. Of course, he is considered more amiable within his circle and is ambitious, so he shouldn’t be too difficult to get along with..."

Asai Ayumi continued her introduction of Yanchuan Xianyou while driving, quickly pulling up in front of a villa.

"This is his personal residence." Asai Ayumi explained before getting out of the car, then took a gift box from the back seat and handed it to Aoyama Xiu Xin, "Yanchuan Shilang enjoys tea. This is top-grade Da Hong Pao from China that Yanchuan Xianyou should like."

"Thank you," Aoyama Xiu Xin sincerely said.

Asai Ayumi snorted, then rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong~"

Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny hurried out and, after opening the door, bowed, "Is it Miss Asai? Mr. Yanchuan is waiting for you, please."

"Sorry to bother you," Asai Ayumi said with a smiling bow, then led Aoyama Xiu Xin inside.

They walked through the front yard to the main part of the villa.

The nanny brought out two pairs of slippers and placed them on the floor.

After changing shoes, they followed the nanny through the living room to the backyard, whereunder a sunshade by the pool lay a young man in swimwear, slightly overweight, looking around twenty-six or twenty-seven, with an air of composed gravity.

"Brother Xianyou," Asai Ayumi called out sweetly from afar with a bright and cheerful smile.

Aoyama Xiu Xin shuddered.

He hadn’t expected this woman to have such a side.

Asai Ayumi, noticing this out of the corner of her eye, sternly glared at him, thinking to herself that she wouldn’t need to drop her cool demeanor and put on a smile if it weren’t for helping him.

"Ah! It’s Ayumi." Yanchuan Xianyou moved from lying down to sitting up and beckoned, "Come over and let’s talk."

Asai Ayumi, with Aoyama Xiu Xin in tow, walked over.

"Brother Xianyou," Asai Ayumi bowed as she approached.

Aoyama Xiu Xin also bowed.

"Don’t be formal, please sit," Yanchuan Xianyou was as amiable as Asai Ayumi had described, gesturing towards the lounge chairs next to him, his gaze falling on Aoyama Xiu Xin as he looked him over, "Ayumi, is this the boyfriend you were telling me about? Hmm, he looks decent."

"No way, just passable, far behind you, Brother Xianyou," Asai Ayumi said, clinging to Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Aoyama Xiu Xin stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Yanchuan, I am Aoyama Xiu Xin, sorry to disturb you."

Then, with both hands, he offered the tea leaves, "This is a token of appreciation for our first meeting; please be sure to accept it."

"Brother Xianyou, this is top-grade Da Hong Pao my father bought from China," Asai Ayumi added.

Hearing this, Yanchuan Xianyou looked at Aoyama Xiu Xin with increased interest, motioning to the nanny to take it, and again invited them to sit, "Alright, you don’t need to keep standing, talking with my head tilted up is tiring."

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin and Asai Ayumi responded and sat down on the two loungers next to him.

"I don’t like beating around the bush," Yanchuan Xianyou said as he picked up a grape and tossed it into his mouth, speaking indistinctly as he chewed. "Seeing that Ayumi got her father’s tea as a gift shows that the Asakai family recognizes you as a son-in-law. Just tell me what you want directly."

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin turned to look at Asai Ayumi, then said to Yanchuan Xianyou, "I’m here to offer Mr. Yanchuan a significant gift."

Yanchuan Xianyou frowned at Asai Ayumi.

Asai Ayumi gently kicked Aoyama Xiu Xin.

But Aoyama Xiu Xin was unmoved, sitting upright with a calm face, looking at Yanchuan Xianyou.

"Heh, Ayumi, your boyfriend is quite interesting," Yanchuan Xianyou said with a chuckle, speaking casually. "Then please share about your significant gift."

"Hi! It’s like this..." Aoyama Xiu Xin first analyzed Japan’s current economic downturn and the growing loan demands of the populace before returning to the main point. "I’ve partnered with a financial corporation to invent an automatic loan machine, similar to an ATM. Customers can complete loans just by operating the machine..."

As Aoyama Xiu Xin spoke, Yanchuan Xianyou stopped eating fruit and his previously casual expression turned serious and focused.

Asai Ayumi’s face grew darker as she listened.

"Such a machine, once launched, I believe will bring revolutionary changes to the entire credit market, but this wealth is too immense for me alone to handle, so I hope to cooperate with Mr. Yanchuan," Aoyama Xiu Xin said and then bowed deeply, signaling that he had finished speaking.

Yanchuan Xianyou realized this was indeed a lavish gift, promising not only financial returns but also political gains for his aspirations.

When the Automatic Loan Machines were widely deployed, the convenience and privacy they offered would attract countless customers. Then, around election time, if they reduce the interest rates or delay repayments for these customers in exchange for their votes for a particular candidate, how significant an impact could a group like this have on the elections?

Of course, the specifics couldn’t be so transparent, but it was feasible, and if managed properly, it would avoid violating electoral laws as it’s a private enterprise that has ample operational leverage.

Just like those major conglomerates influencing employee votes in a similar fashion.

"Mr. Aoyama, this truly is a massive gift!" Yanchuan Xianyou exclaimed.

Aoyama Xiu Xin still maintained his bow.

Yanchuan Xianyou pondered for a moment, "I can partner with you. I’ll introduce a company to buy some shares of your financial company, about thirty percent, and I only want thirty percent of the profits."

"This..." Aoyama Xiu Xin looked up incredulously, feeling that Yanchuan Xianyou might not realize just how substantial the profits from the automatic loan machine could be.

Otherwise, how could he be so generous?

He had prepared for a ninety-one split.

He had never dreamed he could reach a seventy-thirty split.

Yanchuan Xianyou raised his hand to cut him off, speaking calmly, "I’m not wrong, I only want a thirty percent share, Mr. Aoyama. I don’t care about money anymore, do you understand? What I value are the other benefits this machine can bring."

Aoyama Xiu Xin suddenly realized, it was his own perspective that had been too narrow. Indeed, Yanchuan Xianyou’s family was already rich, and the money he possessed was more than he could ever spend; more would just be numbers to him.

Still, he deeply admired the other man. After all, how many people would not complain about having too much money? Yanchuan Xianyou, holding the upper hand, was willing to give up most of the profits. How many could do the same?

"Hi! I understand, Mr. Yanchuan. Once you invest, feel free to make personnel changes in the company. I have no objections," Aoyama Xiu Xin knew, the other could ask for less share but wanted control over management.

He didn’t mind that either; his current position was too low to consider these factors. If he could use this opportunity to earn big money and acknowledge Yanchuan Xianyou as the boss, he would be satisfied enough.

As for the future, if there was a chance, then he would take back full management rights.

Hmm, he had just secured a strong backing but already was thinking about overthrowing him; he was naturally rebellious.

He just didn’t want foreigners suppressing him.

Except for his girl.

"Ayumi, you’ve got a good eye. Mr. Aoyama will go far indeed," Yanchuan Xianyou laughed heartily and praised Asai Ayumi, then turned to Aoyama Xiu Xin and said, "Mr. Yanchuan sounds too formal, call me ’Brother Xianyou,’ just like Ayumi does."

"Hi! Brother Xianyou." Aoyama Xiu Xin willingly agreed, his heart racing, now under Yanchuan’s powerful protection, and Asai as his support, he could just sit at home and wait for success.

Asai Ayumi, however, just managed a forced smile.

After departing from Yanchuan Xianyou’s house, once they were in the car, Asai Ayumi could no longer hold back, "Do you know how many people commit suicide each year because they can’t pay off their loans?"

If she had known that Aoyama Xiu Xin was meeting Yanchuan Xianyou for this purpose, she would never have facilitated the connection.

"Borrowing is voluntary; I’m not forcing anyone to take loans! Besides, am I a loan shark? Our company’s interest rates are within the legal limit. If someone can’t survive because of it, clearly it’s not the company’s fault but the state’s. Instead of blaming me, why not blame those high and mighty politicians for turning the country into this mess?" Aoyama Xiu Xin said calmly.

Asai Ayumi was both angry and helpless because Aoyama Xiu Xin was speaking the truth, and she could only stew in silence.

"Alright, I will have the company reduce the interest rates even below market rates," Aoyama Xiu Xin reassured, grateful for Asai Ayumi’s help today.

Of course, lowering the interest rates was not because Mr. Aoyama was soft-hearted, but to attract more customers to take loans.

The Japanese encountering him were indeed fortunate.

And the best days were yet to come.
