Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Sorry, I'm a little late. You've been waiting, right?" Du Yongxiao asked with a smile.

Sakuragi Rin shook his head and pointed happily to the table by the window: "I've been watching you there."

"Now, this is my alma mater. Please try the food here later. When I ate the school meal for the first time, I was so moved that I almost shed tears." Sakuragi Rin made an exaggerated expression.

It is conceivable that when a little girl from the countryside came to this big city and this institution of higher learning in ignorance, she must have thought it was a delicacy in the world when she ate such good food for the first time.

"I'll help you pack the food, and you can try the takoyaki here! It's definitely a treat!"

"Ichiban?" Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Sakuragi smiled and took the two newly bought sets of tableware. For the meal she had agreed with Du Yongxiao, she personally went to the kitchenware store to select the tableware, whether it was spoons, rice bowls, or even chopsticks, which Du Yongxiao liked. That Chinese type.

"I'll be back soon, just wait!" Sakuragi Rin said happily and ran towards the dining room in the cafeteria.

Du Yongxiao walked to the window and sat down, but found that many people were looking at him. Come to think of it, Sakuragi Rin is a very beautiful beauty in her own right, and because she is a bit "alternative", she usually attracts attention, so come and be with her. Naturally, many people will be curious about a man eating.

Du Yongxiao pulled down his hat and did not dare to take off his glasses. He sighed in his heart. He had known that when the "Honorary Citizen of Tokyo" was awarded not long ago, it would be more low-key. Now newspapers and magazines all over Japan have their own appearance, making it known to everyone. He wants to You can't even have a meal with a girl alone.

…

On the dinner plate——

White porridge, hand-wrapped sushi, seaweed rolls, boiled saury, and Osaka's famous takoyaki.

Takoyaki, which will become popular all over the world in the future, is actually a specialty of Osaka. It was first created by Rikichi Endo, the founder of the Osaka takoyaki specialty store "Aizuya".

Endo Rikichi initially added meat, konjac, etc. to wheat flour batter, fried them, and sold them at food stalls.

In 1935, he began to use octopus as a raw material and added flavor to the batter. The fried takoyaki balls became very popular. Known for its crispy skin, tender meat, delicious taste and low price, it has become a well-known national snack in Japan.

Du Yongxiao ate with gusto, especially the takoyaki, and even gave a thumbs up to Sakuragi Rin and praised: "Ichiban!"

Sakuragi Lin held her chin and watched Du Yongxiao eating with pleasure, not caring about the surprised looks of others.

Du Yongxiao swallowed a mouthful of takoyaki, looked up and saw Sakuragi Rin, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "See what I do? You eat it too."

Sakuragi Rin said: "I feel very happy just watching you eat. You eat first, and I will eat later - as you know, I eat very fast!" As he spoke, he picked up the boiled food again. Egg, help Du Yongxiao peel it.

Du Yongxiao drank his porridge and said, "I have thought about it these past few days and feel that since I am here, I should go and meet your parents. Yes, I think so."

Du Yongxiao said it in an understatement, but it was like the sound of nature to Sakuragi Rin's ears, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

She always thought that Du Yongxiao didn't want to see her parents, so she didn't dare to force Du Yongxiao, but today--

Sakuragi Rin brought the peeled hard-boiled eggs to Du Yongxiao, and was almost speechless with excitement: "Really? Did I hear you right? You said you want to see my parents? Am I dreaming? It must be," Otherwise, why would you be so happy today?”

Who would have thought that a generation of female tycoons who dominated the security industry would act like a little daughter at this moment.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "Don't be too excited, I just think it's a good idea. Well, it's a good idea."

Although Du Yongxiao said this, Sakuragi Rin knew that this was not as simple as "going by the way".

Nowadays, Du Yongxiao's status is so important that even many Japanese political and business leaders have difficulty meeting him, let alone having Du Yongxiao visit him in person?

If she hadn't had a special relationship with Du Yongxiao, her parents wouldn't have had such "special treatment."

"Of course, you also know that I don't like to be high-profile, so I hope that this visit to your parents can be a little secret, and not make a big deal and let too many people know." Du Yongxiao made a request.

A hint of haze flashed through Sakuragi Rin's big clear eyes, "I know, I will tell my parents not to let them spread it outside, and it will never affect you."

"And I know that this time you did this entirely because of me. I'm actually...actually so excited and happy." Sakuragi Rin said, her beautiful eyes flashing with tears, looking at Du Yongxiao longingly.

Du Yongxiao frowned: "Why are you crying while talking? This is a happy thing, isn't it?" Du Yongxiao actually understands Sakuragi Rin's psychology. For her, she is her god. She will obey every decision she makes unconditionally. If you treat her a little better, she will burst into tears.

According to the previous life, Sakuragi Rin, a Japanese girl, was completely PUA by his Du Yongxiao.

Sakuragi Rin lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

Du Yongxiao said: "In the future, you must remember, don't be moved to tears at every turn. You are not an outsider, but the person I trust most and the person closest to me! Privately, I even regard you as my wife and wife." "

Sakuragi Rin's face suddenly looked inexplicably surprised. She looked at Du Yongxiao with disbelief on her face, and she nodded lightly with great joy.

Du Yongxiao knew that the traditional concepts in Japan were deeply rooted, especially the preference for boys over girls. Women had no status at all here, so it was difficult for Sakuragi Rin to adapt to Du Yongxiao's special "care" for her.

But it doesn't matter. As time goes by, she should gradually adapt to this feeling of being cared for.

"What, you don't like that I love you so much? Or do you think it's better for me to be cold?" Du Yongxiao joked.

"No!" Sakuragi Rin panicked and hurriedly explained: "Of course I like to be loved by you, but, but..."

Du Yongxiao smiled, picked up another hard-boiled egg, peeled it, and brought it to her, saying, "As for you, you have two identities now. One is the person in charge of Pangu Security Company and the female CEO of a world-class company; the other is me. Du Yongxiao’s woman, no one can touch you, no one can hurt you! As long as you stay with me for a day, I will give you everything I can give you! Come on, eat the eggs, and you will be my real woman, Du Yongxiao.”

Sakuragi Rin was extremely excited at this moment. She never expected that Du Yongxiao would take the initiative to show love to her.

Oh my god, is this a dream?

The best man in the world actually said he loved me and wanted to protect me? That I am the real woman behind him?

Excited, Sakuragi Rin's beautiful eyes turned red again and tears fell down. However, thinking of what Du Yongxiao had said just now, telling her not to cry at all times, she immediately endured it again and took a napkin to wipe her eyes. Then she was happy. He took the egg and took a small bite. Du Yongxiao's peeled eggs tasted really delicious.

Du Yongxiao added: "After dinner, let's go to the department store. When you meet your parents, you always bring some gifts. Only you know best what they like!"

Sakuragi Rin nodded happily.

While they were talking, a man and a woman came next to them and stood in front of the dining table. The girl was wearing a sky blue skirt and was quite beautiful. The man was tall, strong and somewhat handsome. When Du Yongxiao looked at them, the girl asked: " Sakuragi Rin, who is he and you won’t introduce him to us?”

The person who came was a former classmate of Sakuragi Rin, who now teaches at this university and is a well-known professor-level figure in the local area.

Sakuragi Rin returned to her alma mater this time and met the two of them by chance and exchanged a few words to reminisce about old times.

One of them is named Takeda Shinnan and the other is Tomoko Hayakawa.

When they first went to school, both of them were top figures in the school and looked down on others.

Sakuragi Rin was outstanding for her beauty at the time, but her studies were not as good as the two of them, so she would only be admitted to the police force after graduation and become a female police officer.

Seeing the two people asking about it, Sakuragi Rin stood up out of politeness and said, "Hello, he, he is my friend."

Du Yongxiao lowered his head and drank his porridge.

Hayakawa Tomoko snorted. Usually Sakuragi Rin doesn't like to talk much. She is naturally beautiful. Although her dress is simple, she has a unique and indescribable temperament. Even though she studies better than Sakuragi Rin, she is not as good as Sakuragi. Mu Lin is so popular with boys.

Hayakawa Tomoko was very jealous of this. Who knew that Sakuragi Rin didn't like to talk to others? Her friend was even more arrogant. He glanced at her and lowered his head, ignoring her.

"Aha, your friend is quite arrogant. What do you do and where do you work?" Tomoko Hayakawa asked in a strange tone.

Sakuragi Rin hurriedly said: "He is not Japanese, he is from Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong? Is he Chinese?" Tomoko Hayakawa was stunned for a moment, and looked at Du Yongxiao again with eyes full of contempt.

Seeing this, Takeda Shinnan next to him showed a hint of contempt in his originally vigilant eyes.

Although he and Hayakawa Tomoko are a couple, he is secretly very interested in Sakuragi Rin. He once pursued Sakuragi Rin but was rejected by him. Unexpectedly, Sakuragi Rin looked down on himself, a dignified university professor, and instead chose a Chinese boyfriend!

"Oh, Sakuragi Rin, why do you have such low expectations?" Takeda Nobunami said in a mocking tone, "In the past, so many male classmates pursued you, but you rejected them. Now why... I'm sorry, friend, I'm not Saying that you are too bad is really...I doubt Sakuragi Rin's vision. After all, she is our classmate and we care about her very much..."

Du Yongxiao smiled, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then raised his head and took a cold look at Takeda Shinnan.

For some reason, Takeda Shinnan shuddered when he saw Du Yongxiao's eyes, and he hurriedly said boldly: "What do you think I am doing?"

Du Yongxiao didn't speak, but looked at Sakuragi Rin.

Yingmu Lin knew that once Du Yongxiao got angry, the two unlucky guys in front of him might die miserably, so he hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "I'm sorry, we still have things to do, so we have to leave first!"

"So fast?" Takeda Shinnan thought Du Yongxiao and the others were afraid, and laughed at himself, yes, how could I suddenly be afraid of this Chinese guy? I'm a professor at a university. Judging from his age, he probably hasn't even graduated from college yet.

Hayakawa Tomoko was not willing to let Sakuragi Rin off so easily: "Oh, by the way, Sakuragi Rin, I heard that you are now a policeman, is it true? Being a policeman is very tiring, and you have to catch thieves. It is super dangerous, like It’s a waste of money for a beautiful woman like you to do that kind of work!”

"Ahem, I have resigned and will not be a police officer now."

"Ah, you won't do it? Then what are you doing?" Tomoko Hayakawa pretended to be surprised, "Yes, how could such a job be suitable for you? But your grades were not very good when you were in school. What kind of job can you find if you quit your job now? Do you want me? Can you introduce me to Takeda Shinan and I are also well-known professors now and know a lot of people!"

"No thanks!"

"You're welcome! We are all old classmates!"

"Yes, Sakuragi Rin, please don't be polite! We just have a class reunion tonight, and many old classmates will attend. They are good at everything, and have great energy. You are so beautiful, and it was everyone's dream. If you're in love, just open your mouth and you'll find a suitable job!" Takeda Nobunami assured him, patting his chest.

Hayakawa Tomoko heard this and gave Takeda Shinnan a fierce look.

Takeda Shinnan coughed hurriedly and said: "What I said is the truth. Many people liked Sakuragi Rin at the beginning..."

Tomoko Hayakawa didn't want to continue on this topic and said with a fake smile: "I'll tell you the time and place. No matter what, you must participate tonight!"

"This--" Sakuragi Lin quickly looked at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao had already become impatient. He felt that these two people were buzzing like flies, making a lot of noise.

He took off his hat and looked at the two men with a frown.

Takeda Shinnan and Hayakawa Tomoko suddenly felt that each other looked familiar. They were just wondering where they had met before, when they saw the president of Osaka University walking not far away.

The two of them didn't think much and ran over to flatter him.

The principal also saw the two of them, with their hands behind their backs and their postures high.

The principal's name is "Ichiro Okamoto". He is sixty-three years old. He has a bald head and wears thick spectacles. He looks like a slippery philistine and does not look like the kind of person who teaches and educates people at all.

In fact, he is indeed a well-known veteran in the university world. He used to rely on flattery to get to the position, from dean to crushing other competitors, and now he is the president of Osaka University.

He just came back from attending several grand events in Tokyo today. Going out like this was an eye-opener and he gained a lot of experience.

In particular, Okamoto Ichiro was honored to participate in a large-scale "Tokyo Honorary Citizen" certificate awarding ceremony. He was even more fortunate to take a photo with the super tycoon involved, the police commissioner from Hong Kong, To Yongxiao.

Ichiro Okamoto heard that Mr. Du was no ordinary person. Many Japanese politicians and business people wanted to curry favor with him. This was because Mr. Du was so rich that he spent US$600 million just developing Tokyo real estate and joining forces with Mitsubishi Motors. !

Not only that, I heard that Mr. Du is also a first-class Chinese earl in the British Empire. He has a very close relationship with the British Prime Minister. In the United States, he has a close relationship with the top FBI officials. Even the presidential candidate Mr. Carter is his confidant.

Therefore, when Ichiro Okamoto had the opportunity to take a photo with Du Yongxiao, he was so excited. He felt like he had found a treasure. From now on, this photo would be a way to brag about himself, and maybe he could make further progress in his career.

For this reason, Okamoto Ichiro wiped the group photo almost every day, and he remembered Du Yongxiao's appearance very clearly.

At this moment, when Ichiro Okamoto saw Takeda Shinnan and Hayakawa Tomoko coming in front of him, he raised his chin slightly and said with arrogance: "Why are you here? What are you doing here if you don't go to the conference room for a meeting?"

"Oh, we're getting ready to go there!"

"Yes, we were about to go over to listen to your old teachings - we happened to meet an alumnus."

"Alumni?"

"That's right, here she is, that beauty. Her name is Sakuragi Rin. She used to be a classmate of ours!"

Takeda Shinnan and Hayakawa Tomoko hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Ichiro Okamoto looked at Sakuragi Rin with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing a hint of surprise. He didn't expect there to be such a stunning beauty in his school, and his heart couldn't help but itch, but suddenly he narrowed his eyes and saw Du Yongxiao next to Sakuragi Rin——

Suddenly, I was shocked.

How can it be?

He suspected that he had seen it wrong, so he couldn't help but take off his glasses, wipe them, and look again -

See it clearly this time!

Don't hesitate anymore!

Okamoto Ichiro hurriedly strode towards Du Yongxiao. ,

Because I walked too fast, I almost stumbled and fell.
