Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Sakuragi Rin's marriage has always been a concern for both Sakuragi's father and her mother.

The Japanese of this era are very traditional, especially the traditional concept of male superiority and female inferiority is deeply rooted. Many girls rarely get married, and then stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, and never work for the rest of their lives.

Sakuragi's father's meaning is also very simple. His daughter will eventually get married, and it is better to get married earlier than later, so he was busy arranging a marriage for his daughter before. However, Sakuragi Rin appears to be weak, but in fact, she has a stubborn temper. The father can't beat her at all. Finally, he agreed to let her apply for the police after college, thinking that girls can't bear hardships and will soon change their minds.

The fact is just as the father "guessed". Sakuragi Rin has been a policewoman for a while. Although she has been promoted to the elite ranks and went to the United States for further studies, she soon replied that she resigned.

After receiving the letter, the father was both happy and worried.

He was happy that his daughter finally "returned to the right path" and knew that being a policeman is not easy, too tiring, and too hard. Now resigning is just what he wants.

What worries me is that my daughter is so old now. It was easier to find a partner when she had a job before. Now that she has no job, I have to speed up the process of arranging a future for her.

What my father didn't expect was that as a family member of Sakuragi Rin's uncle, he actually introduced a scumbag.

He knew that young man who had a lot of money at home spent his money on wine and women outside, and also harmed many girls. Some of them got pregnant and refused to admit it, and were chased to their home to collect debts.

Sakuragi's father refused to agree to this marriage, but his uncle was relentless, mocking their family for being poor and mocking them for losing face for the Sakuragi family.

Sakuragi Rin's mother said a few words for her daughter, and was even ridiculed as "Like mother, like daughter". Now she can't even be a policeman, and she is still picky, which is simply embarrassing.

Sakuragi Rin's mother is cowardly, and her eyes turned red when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only bear it.

Now her daughter suddenly brought her boyfriend home, and this boy looked very handsome and excellent, which made Sakuragi Rin's mother feel confident, and she announced loudly that her daughter brought someone back.

Sakuragi's father was also excited at this moment, remembering that his daughter had told him before that this boy seemed to be quite capable, and he didn't know what he did specifically, but he knew that he was a very good person.

Even Sakuragi Rin didn't tell them that Du Yongxiao was Chinese, not Japanese.

Most importantly, the gifts that Du Yongxiao asked Sakuragi Rin to bring to them were all valuable things. Not to mention those Chinese tea sets, the kimono given to Sakuragi Rin's mother and the set of handmade silver jewelry were all the best of the best.

Especially the set of silver jewelry, it is said to be the masterpiece of Takahashi Goro, the most famous silver master in Japan.

Takahashi Goro is now famous in Japan.

Born in Tokyo in 1939. In high school, he learned the leather carving technique from the US military stationed in Japan and taught himself. At the age of 27, he opened a small shop in Aoyama, Tokyo. He likes Indian and American culture, leather products, and silver jewelry. Later, he lived in an Indian tribe in the United States for many years.

There, Goro Takahashi got his own Indian name, became a warrior of the tribe, and learned the unique jewelry making method of the tribe. After returning to Japan, Goro Takahashi moved the original shop in Aoyama to the current Harajuku. Later, he started to produce GORO'S brand products in Tokyo.

In his shop, all products insist on being handmade, using the production method of orthodox Indian jewelry and blending his own unique design, making GORO'S products full of infinite attraction to trendy people. With the unanimous praise of idol stars and trendy bosses, it is regarded as the immortal myth of the Japanese fashion industry.

Takahashi is also a strange old man with a strong artistic temperament. Although there are many customers queuing up to enter the store every day to buy, his store does not allow certain customers to enter, such as those who listen to music with headphones, chew gum, and laugh while waiting.

In addition, he will not take out good works for people who he thinks they don't know how to appreciate. As the saying goes, things are rare and valuable. The tube beads he made are also priced by the piece. Usually, a string of them, plus a random silver feather, can buy a motorcycle.

If you are in Japan and happen to have two of them on hand and are in desperate need of cash turnover, you can find a Japanese trendy store. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can turn them into cash immediately. The purchase not only maintains value but also has room for appreciation.

The set of silver jewelry that Du Yongxiao gave to Sakuragi Rin's mother is a gilded eagle handmade by Takahashi Goro himself, and there are also a few silver feathers.

This set of silver jewelry is beautiful and exquisite, and even people who don't understand art will be amazed when they see it.

Sakuragi Rin's mother shouted while inviting Du Yongxiao into the house.

Although Sakuragi Rin's house looks a bit shabby from the outside, it looks very neat and clean inside, with beige tatami, old-fashioned tea tables, desks for sitting on the floor, pine stone bonsai, and simple ukiyo-e hanging on the wooden walls.

In one sentence, it is poor, but very tasteful.

At this moment, the old man, uncle, and aunt were kneeling in front of a low table, arguing fiercely.

Next to them was an old black-and-white TV, which was produced by Panasonic in 1970.

The news was being broadcast on TV, but unfortunately, everyone was arguing and had no time to watch the specific content of the broadcast.

At this time——

Hearing that his daughter's boyfriend was coming, the old man immediately became confident, stood up, and welcomed Du Yongxiao, saying: "Please come in quickly! Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!"

Du Yongxiao did not dare to offend, so he bowed to his father and said hello: "Hello, my name is Du Yongxiao, please give me your advice!"

The father took a look at Du Yongxiao and saw that the young man was super handsome, like a big star. He was very happy: "Du Yongxiao? This name looks very Chinese!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "Yes, I am Chinese, I am from Hong Kong!"

"Ah, Hong Kong?" Dad suddenly remembered that the other party was not Japanese. Doesn't that mean that his daughter is likely to marry far away in the future?

Thinking of this, my father's face turned dark, but it was hard to get angry in front of his brother and sister-in-law. Wouldn't he be laughed at by them even more if he told me?

When Sakuragi Rin's uncle and aunt saw Du Yongxiao come in, they were still kneeling at the table without even the slightest intention of standing up to say hello.

They looked at Du Yongxiao sideways. Originally, they had a good plan. If they talked about the marriage between Sakuragi Rin and the family of the grain and oil president, they would be able to reap a lot of benefits, especially since the other party promised that the marriage would be successful. The other party will free up a store on the streets of Osaka for them to run and let them have a taste of being a president.

Unexpectedly, while they were talking, the niece brought the girl into the house, so the eldest uncle and eldest aunt looked particularly displeased at Du Yongxiao.

Especially when they heard Du Yongxiao say that he was not Japanese, but Chinese, the two of them became even more contemptuous. Chinese people in this era are just poor, so what if they are from Hong Kong? Maybe he's still a poor guy.

No matter where people are, women are the most talkative and the most cunning.

Aunt Yingmu Rin pouted her lips at this time and sneered at Du Yongxiao: "Oh, I thought where did he come from? It turns out he is a Chinese from Hong Kong! I heard that there are still many Chinese people who don't have enough to eat, you boss? Why did you come to Japan to find a job? Or do you want to stay here and become a surrogate son-in-law in order to obtain a residence permit?”

Sakuragi Rin's mother is a visual person. She was conquered by Du Yongxiao's appearance at the first sight. Now she saw her sister-in-law mocking Du Yongxiao and couldn't help but feel a little unfair. This man will be my son-in-law in the future and he is not yours. Why are you here? Talking all over the place?

However, she was timid by nature, so she didn't dare to say what she thought, so she picked up the stir-fried broad beans and peanuts on the coffee table and brought them to Du Yongxiao. She smiled and said: "You are a guest from afar, I don't care who you are." , I just know you are a guest.”

After saying that, he looked at his father and said, "Don't just stand there, but say something."

With a dark face, the father pointed at the table and said to Du Yongxiao: "Sit down!"

"Thank you!" Du Yongxiao smiled and knelt down at the table according to the rules here. Then he glanced at the arrogant Aunt Sakuragi Rin and said, "I have a job in Hong Kong, and I have never planned to live in Japan."

"Work, what job? I heard that the most fashionable job in Hong Kong is to be an accountant in a bank, or the front desk of a hotel!" The eldest aunt said reluctantly, "Looking at your age, you can't be a front desk, right? You look pretty good! "

Seeing her eldest aunt constantly mocking Du Yongxiao, Sakuragi Rin's mother was filled with anger again.

But the father continued to have a dark face, drinking tea one mouthful at a time, and said nothing.

The eldest uncle was adding jealousy to the side: "What's the use of young people being handsome? They can't be used as food! You still need to be rich, so that you can support a large family, and your wife and family will have enough food and clothing in the future!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, threw a handful of broad beans into his mouth, chewed them, and said, "Sorry, I'm not a hotel receptionist. I work in the Hong Kong police force. I can't reveal my specific position."

Police force?

The uncle and aunt were stunned. Although they were in Osaka, they had heard that the police in Hong Kong were very powerful and very rich, unlike the police here in Osaka who were all poor.

However, both of them had some doubts, mainly because Du Yongxiao was too young.

Aunt and uncle exchanged glances.

This time it was my uncle's turn to take the lead, pretending to be suspicious: "Since you are A-Lin's boyfriend, you are a family. Is there anything else that is inconvenient to reveal to the family? You can tell me what your specific position is in the police department. ? Could it be the warehouse manager or the doorman?" After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank some water.

"Oh, since you asked, I will say - I am the Commissioner of Police. I guess you don't understand what the position of Commissioner of Police is, well, it is similar to the big version of the head of the Metropolitan Police Department!" Du Yongxiao clicked, Pop a broad bean into your mouth.

"puff!"

The uncle spurted out a mouthful of tea.

"Cough cough cough!" He coughed violently.

Seeing this, the eldest aunt hurriedly came forward and helped him pat his back: "Old man, are you okay? Why are you so careless in drinking tea!"

"Ahem, I'm fine!" The uncle choked to tears and looked at Du Yongxiao in surprise.

The eldest aunt whispered to him: "Maybe he is bragging, do you believe it?"

Uncle: "Baga! Do you need to remind me?" After saying that, he snorted coldly and looked at Du Yongxiao: "Young man, don't talk nonsense when you are young! I know you want to be limelight in front of us, but how old are you this year? ? Dare to call yourself the leader of the Metropolitan Police Department? "

Like them, Father Yingmu didn't believe that Du Yongxiao had that kind of ability. He thought he was bragging to save face. He couldn't keep silent at this moment and could only breathe heavily with anger.

It is no wonder that they have such an idea. In Japan, those who can become the top leader of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department are all outstanding people, and they have to work in the officialdom for at least 20 to 30 years. The current head of the Metropolitan Police Department is 52 years old. Even the youngest head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Kurosawa Ryohei, known as the "Tokyo Tiger", is said to be in his 40s.

How about Du Yongxiao? How can he be a big boss?

Sakuragi Rin's mother is simple-minded and doesn't think so much.

She had been completely conquered by Du Yongxiao's appearance before. When she heard Du Yongxiao say that his position was the top leader in the police, she smiled from ear to ear and helped Du Yongxiao peel an orange with her own hands, saying: "Come, eat an orange! This is our Osaka mandarin orange, very sweet!"

Seeing his wife like this, Sakuragi's father whispered: "Aren't you embarrassed enough?" After saying that, he rolled his eyes at her.

Sakuragi's mother didn't understand, "I just peeled an orange for Ah Xiao, what's wrong with that?"

"Hmph!" Dad was too lazy to answer, thinking that you'll know what it means to be embarrassed when the other party's boasting is exposed.

Du Yongxiao put the peeled orange on the table and said to his father and Sakuragi Rin's mother: "Don't worry, everything I said just now is true. Since I agreed to date Ah Rin, I don't intend to hide anything from you, or in other words, I can be responsible for what I said just now..."

"Responsible? Can you bear it?" Sakuragi's father couldn't help it anymore, and put down the teacup and glared at Du Yongxiao, saying: "I originally thought that you were at least a promising young man. Even if you are Chinese, I didn't intend to stop you from dating our Ah Rin, but now... You are talking nonsense, which disappoints me so much!"

Seeing this, the uncle and aunt were secretly happy.

They just asked a few tentative questions, and let this arrogant young man show his true colors. He even dared to say that he was the head of a police station!

Is there a head like you?

Why don't you stay in Hong Kong and come to Osaka?

And you are so young, did you start your career in your mother's belly? You are a senior police officer right after you jump out?

Du Yongxiao didn't expect that he would be questioned for telling the truth, and Ying Mulin didn't know what to do.

Du Yongxiao is her boyfriend. If she helps to speak, the credibility is almost zero, and it might even make the two elders angry.

At the critical moment--

Du Yongxiao suddenly saw the TV playing, and the TV happened to be replaying the scene of him receiving the "Tokyo Honorary Citizen" certificate in Tokyo.

So Du Yongxiao pointed and said: "Hey, that's me!"
