Chapter 82 - 78: Coming from humble beginnings is not a disgrace; it is the ability to bend and stretch that defines a true man.

Chapter 82: Chapter 78: Coming from humble beginnings is not a disgrace; it is the ability to bend and stretch that defines a true man.

The following day, May 30th, Saturday.

This was Aoyama Xiu Xin’s first holiday since being transferred back to Police Headquarters, and he was awakened early in the morning by the ringing of the telephone.

"Hello, hello."

He groggily picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Mr. Aoyama, this is Yakai. The sample machine is ready and has been adjusted. When are you available..." Mr. Sakai’s tone was very excited.

"I’m available now!" Aoyama Xiu Xin’s sleepiness vanished instantly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, got dressed, and after washing up, hurried downstairs.

Aoyama Haruko, who was in the kitchen, came out when she heard the noise and said, "Xiu Xin, why are you up so early today? You’ll have to wait a bit for breakfast."

Her gaze was somewhat evasive because the night before, after a long period without intimate activity, she’d had a lascivious dream — but the man in her dream was not her husband, it was Aoyama Xiu Xin.

This made her feel both ashamed and guilty.

However, Aoyama Xiu Xin, whose mind was filled with thoughts of loan machines, did not notice his sister-in-law’s strange demeanor and casually said, "I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I won’t eat today."

After he finished speaking and put on his shoes, he dashed out the door.

"Eh, Xiu Xin..." Aoyama Haruko could only sigh in resignation as the door closed again.

Half an hour later, Aoyama Xiu Xin arrived at Sakai Electronics Corporation and found not only Mr. Sakai and his son on the premises, but Yehua Yiren had also arrived.

She was dressed in simple casual attire, a white short-sleeved shirt paired with black skinny pants, her voluptuous and sensual body was displayed to full effect, curves ripe and enticing, like a juicy peach that would burst with juice upon one bite.

"Mr. Aoyama." All three greeted him with a bow.

Aoyama Xiu Xin asked directly, "Where’s the machine?"

Mr. Sakai and his eldest son, Yakai Dairo, both looked particularly haggard, especially Dairo, who as the technical lead, had dark circles under his eyes that could rival those of a giant panda.

Clearly, they had been working overtime for some time.

"Please, this way," Mr. Sakai invited.

Aoyama Xiu Xin followed him into a room.

There, he saw a machine that looked similar to the automatic teller machines currently available on the market.

Yakai Dairo took the initiative to explain, "After continuous revisions and adjustments during this period, we finally produced this finished product. It perfectly meets the requirements you previously set forth, Mr. Aoyama. Additionally, we have installed an alarm system. If the machine is struck with force, it will set off an alarm, likely enough to scare off any typical vandal."

"Customer service can remotely review client information through the camera, and handle and guide first-time users on how to take out loans using the machine’s telephone system. This screen on the machine can play a variety of pre-recorded promotional videos..."

Aside from its appearance, this machine’s functions were exactly like those of the consumer loan automatic contracting machines that Takeda Fuji Company would first introduce a year later in the original timeline.

Takeda Fuji’s loan machines would play promotional videos featuring beautiful women 24/7 to attract customer attention and stimulate their desire to take out loans, because after all, beauty came with a price.

This was something Aoyama Xiu Xin also planned to emulate, as he did not think he was smarter than Takai Baoyu, the founder of Takeda Fuji, and was inclined to copy whatever he could.

"May I try it out?" asked Aoyama Xiu Xin.

"Of course," replied Mr. Sakai. "How could we ask you to come over without testing it first?"

Aoyama Xiu Xin personally tried operating the machine.

After confirming there were no issues, he felt elated and, patting Mr. Sakai’s shoulder, said, "Excellent, excellent, you have done a very good job. Your company... no, to be precise, our company, is about to soar!"

"It’s all thanks to your care, Mr. Aoyama," Mr. Sakai said with emotion, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Aoyama Xiu Xin let go of him, turned his head to Yehua Yiren, and instructed, "Handle the investment into Sakai Electronics Corporation, and finalize this matter as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Yehua Yiren obediently responded.

Aoyama Xiu Xin stepped aside and dialed Yanchuan Xianyou’s number, and when the call connected, he respectfully said, "Brother Xianyou, this is Aoyama Xiu Xin."

"Oh, Xiu Xin, what’s up?" Yanchuan Xianyou, who was eating breakfast, asked nonchalantly.

Aoyama Xiu Xin said in a joyous tone, "I have good news to share with you. The machine sample we talked about is ready. Once the funds are in place, we can begin mass production. Would you like to come and see for yourself?"

Even he, a time-traveler who knew the automatic loan machines would appear a year later in the original timeline, was so excited to see the actual machine, he believed Yanchuan Xianyou would be even more enthusiastic, for physical objects had a greater power to impress than PPTs.

"Where is it located? I’ll come over after I finish breakfast," Yanchuan Xianyou said, though eager, he remained composed.

Aoyama Xiu Xin quietly replied, "It’s at Hirakawa District Fifth District 13-15 Sakai Electronics Corporation."

"Mm, let’s leave it at that, please excuse Xiu Xin for a short while," Yanchuan Xianyou said with impeccable politeness and culture, then hung up the phone.

Although he had said he would go after breakfast, as soon as he hung up he had no appetite left and hastily finished the leftovers on his plate before heading out the door.

Aoyama Xiu Xin put away his phone, turned, and said to Yakai and the others, "There’s one more person coming to take a look."

"Hi!" President Sakai responded and looked at his son to give instructions, "Oro, I’ll wait here, you take Mr. Aoyama and President Nozawa to the lounge to sit."

"No need, he should be here soon; let’s just wait together," Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head in decline.

President Sakai responded with another, "Hi."

He then ran off to bring over two chairs.

About twenty minutes later, guessing Yanchuan Xianyou would arrive soon, Aoyama Xiu Xin asked the others to wait inside while he personally went to the factory gate to wait ahead of time.

After waiting at the gate for around ten minutes, an unassuming Maybach rolled in, and as soon as the car came to a stop, Aoyama Xiu Xin briskly stepped forward and bent over to open the rear car door.

One can only say that the government indeed forges a person!

"Brother Xianyou, you’ve arrived," Aoyama Xiu Xin said as he held the car door frame with one hand to prevent Yanchuan from bumping his head.

"Thank you, Xiu Xin," Yanchuan Xianyou revealed a warm smile as he bent down to get out of the car, then, standing steady, he straightened his suit and said, "Let’s go take a look at the machines quickly."

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin closed the car door and led the way, "Brother Xianyou, watch your step, there might be various parts scattered around the factory."

His tongue had become more and more agile, all thanks to the help and training from Mrs. Yanahara and Asai Ayumi.

Yanchuan Xianyou smiled and nodded slightly.

After they entered the room with the sample machines, although Yehua Yiren and Mr. Sakai and his son didn’t know Yanchuan Xianyou’s identity, seeing that even Aoyama Xiu Xin was treating him with extreme respect, they all bent over to greet him.

"Brother Xianyou, take a look, this is the one," Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t introduce Yanchuan Xianyou to them but directly pointed at the machine, then ordered Mr. Sakai to give a demonstration, "President Sakai, please operate it."

"Hi!" President Sakai bowed and then went to the machine, skillfully starting the operation, with Aoyama Xiu Xin at his side providing commentary and introducing the machine to Yanchuan Xianyou.

After the entire operation process was completed, although Yanchuan Xianyou managed to keep a calm expression on his face, his breathing was clearly a bit heavy. He touched the sample machine for a long time without saying a word, and it wasn’t until much later that he regained his composure.

Turning his head to look at Aoyama Xiu Xin, he said, "Xiu Xin, arrange for someone to work with my people as soon as possible to complete the investment issue, I will inject a sum of money, have the machines go into mass production immediately, start spreading across Tokyo first, go ahead full throttle, if there’s resistance you can’t resolve, contact me."

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin promptly answered.

Yanchuan Xianyou patted his shoulder with a very serious tone, "Xiu Xin, thank you."

"It is I who should thank you, Brother Xianyou, otherwise I would be like a child holding gold in the marketplace, it was you who gave me the opportunity to safeguard this gold," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with sincerity and excitement, "Xiu Xin is well aware of his low status and limited influence, unable to be of much help to you, but if Brother Xianyou would not forsake me, Xiu Xin would like to pledge myself as... a brother! From now on, I will look only to Brother Xianyou’s command, even resolving a small trouble for you would be my honor! So please give me the opportunity to repay you."

Even though this display of loyalty might seem sickening, Aoyama Xiu Xin did not consider it shameful in his heart, because being born into low status is not a disgrace; it is the man who can bend and stretch who is truly manly!

Today’s humbleness is for the sake of tomorrow’s pride.

"Having met me, your status is low now, but it’s only for now," Yanchuan Xianyou gave him a promise.

After their first meeting, he had investigated Aoyama Xiu Xin’s background and learned that he was not the Asakai family’s son-in-law, but paid it no mind, for what he valued was Aoyama Xiu Xin’s individual ability.

Being an only son, he planned to start his political career next year and, of course, hoped to have his own trusted ally in the Police Headquarters that he had personally nurtured.

After all, although police officers do not hold high positions and cannot influence political situations, they possess the authority to enforce law, being the direct law enforcement officers at the grassroots level, holding the power of the gun.

Furthermore, he was not stingy. Aoyama Xiu Xin had presented him with the significant gift of the automatic loan machine, and he would certainly provide a corresponding reward in return.

"Hi! Thank you, Brother Xianyou." Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed deeply once again, then took advantage of his pleasant mood to bring up the matter he had discussed with Asai Ayumi, "Xiu Xin has a favor to ask. Ayumi and I have mutual affection, and I hope that Brother Xianyou would take the initiative to propose to the Asakai family on my behalf."

"Sure," Yanchuan Xianyou agreed immediately.

The reason why he didn’t care at all that Aoyama Xiu Xin was not recognized as the Asakai family’s son-in-law was simply that if he wished it, he could make it a reality.

Moreover, Asai Ayumi must also be very fond of Aoyama Xiu Xin; otherwise, she wouldn’t have introduced him to herself as her boyfriend. Agreeing to this would not only gain Aoyama Xiu Xin’s gratitude and loyalty but also be a favor for Asai Ayumi, his sister, a win-win situation.

"Thank you, Brother Xianyou, for helping us!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin raised his head, his voice trembling and eyes gradually reddening with emotion, almost to the point of crying, portraying a deep love for Asai Ayumi; after all, he knew that people generally liked those who are deeply affectionate.

"Once you and Ayumi have discussed it and decided on a date, let me know," Yanchuan Xianyou smiled and then turned to walk away, "I’m leaving now, put some heart into the automatic loan machine matter."

"Brother Xianyou, I’ll see you out," Aoyama Xiu Xin followed closely, opened the car door for him, closed it, and then stood bowing deeply at ninety degrees to send him off.

Only once the car disappeared from sight did he raise his head, slowly exhaling, thinking to himself how hard it was to flatter and serve someone, which is why he strove to climb higher, so that in the future, others would come to serve and flatter him.

After all, he truly disliked doing such things.
