Chapter 565: Chapter 468: Qingshui Yi’s Ambition, Journey to Asahikawa, Old Friends Return (Two-in-One for Monthly Votes) _3

"I’ve heard of Mr. Aoyama for a long time and have always wanted to meet him, but haven’t had the chance. Today, my wish has finally come true," said Panasonic Youkang, pulling his thoughts back from their disorder, laughing heartily as he gestured with his hand, "Please have a seat."

"Hi!" Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed and sat down on the sofa set aside for visitors, speaking in a gentle and humble tone, "As a friend of Izumi, I too wanted to visit Mayor Panasonic but have not been able to find the time due to work commitments. Seeing Izumi’s predicament in the news, I was very concerned for her, so I came to visit her and, by the way, to see you as well."

"On behalf of Izumi, I thank you, Mr. Aoyama," said Panasonic Youkang, his face clouding over for a moment when Aoyama Xiu Xin mentioned yesterday’s news. Even the subordinates at the City Office were giving him strange looks now. He took a deep breath to compose himself, "Izumi has suffered significant psychological harm, and as a good friend, your comforting words should help her recover more quickly. As a father, I thank you."

"Mayor Panasonic is too polite. Izumi and I are close friends, and this is something I should do," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied, bowing his head slightly.

The closeness here was a fact, because he did not like wearing disguises and always made a direct approach.

Panasonic Youkang nodded and then tentatively asked, "There must be another matter Mr. Aoyama wishes to discuss, right?"

"Mayor Panasonic really has a discerning eye. I knew I couldn’t hide it from you," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with an embarrassed smile, and then he sat up straighter to appear more serious, "I heard that fifty percent of the projects set up by Asahikawa City this year have been promised to Akabon Construction Co., Ltd. Akben Jiancheng can’t even manage his own son, so I doubt his ability to complete these projects. Considering the quality of the work and the safety of the citizens of Asahikawa City, I hope the Mayor can disqualify Akabon Construction Co., Ltd."

"It turns out that Mr. Aoyama’s visit to see Izumi was a pretext, and the real intent is to take advantage of a crisis," Mayor Panasonic chuckled dryly, anticipating that Aoyama Xiu Xin would volunteer to take Akahone Family’s place next.

Even so, he still did not believe what Akben Jiancheng said, thinking that this incident was orchestrated by Aoyama Xiu Xin and his own daughter. His judgment was based on everything he had seen and his understanding of his daughter.

Faced with such a profitable opportunity and the chance to retaliate against the Akahone Family, if Aoyama Xiu Xin did not come knocking soon, that would be when he would suspect something was amiss.

Aoyama Xiu Xin gave a restrained smile, "No, both are true. I am indeed very concerned about Miss Izumi’s psychological health, but I also care about the physical health of the citizens of Asahikawa City. Shoddy construction projects can kill people!"

"I am willing to recommend a company from Tokyo to Mayor Panasonic, East Field Construction Corporation. They have the strength and experience to have established themselves and expanded in Tokyo; if they take on the projects, they will ensure that the work proceeds smoothly and is completed and inspected on time."

"You are very greedy, Mr. Aoyama. I heard that the Akahone Family started giving you trouble behind the scenes because of your monopoly on Sapporo City’s construction projects. I did not expect you to now want to take a bite out of Asahikawa," Panasonic Youkang shook his head.

Aoyama Xiu Xin grinned and shrugged helplessly, "I can’t help it, I have too many people to support, so I have to snatch food from others, especially since the Akahone Family tried to sabotage me first. At most, this can be seen as equal retaliation, which is both reasonable and appropriate."

Panasonic Youkang’s eyes flashed, as Aoyama Xiu Xin’s mention of having too many people to support gave him food for thought.

"Since it’s Mr. Aoyama’s recommendation, I will get in touch with someone from East Field Construction Corporation," Panasonic Youkang said without giving a definite answer, which indicated his interest, otherwise, he would not waste any time as long as they could agree on the details immediately.

Indeed, a reliable person needed to take over the projects originally handled by Akabon Construction Co., Ltd.; otherwise, if there were problems with the construction, he would be held accountable.

Aoyama Xiu Xin himself was very reliable, and behind him stood the even more dependable Yanchuan Family; forming a long-term partnership with him would undoubtedly be beneficial, not to mention that his current role in Hokkaido meant he would not dare to deceive Panasonic Youkang.

"Hi! Thank you for this opportunity," Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed, then added, "As long as no one deliberately sabotages it, there will be no issues with the projects."

"Don’t worry, Mr. Aoyama, as long as the person you recommend is reliable, there will be no issues with the projects," Panasonic Youkang assured, knowing what he meant.

Aoyama Xiu Xin bowed once more and then stood up to take his leave, "The Mayor has many responsibilities, so I won’t take up more of your time. I’m going to visit Izumi. Someone from East Field Construction Corporation will visit you as soon as possible."

"Please take your time leaving, but since it’s Mr. Aoyama’s first visit to Asahikawa, I insist you don’t rush off. I would like the honor of hosting you for a meal tonight."

"Hi! It would be my honor."

Subsequently, Aoyama Xiu Xin left the City Office.

He took a car to Panasonic Youkang’s residence.

By the time he arrived, Panasonic Tiger, who had received a call from his father, had already returned home early to await him.

"Mr. Aoyama, I’ve long admired your reputation. I am Panasonic Tiger, pleased to meet you for the first time, and I hope we can look after each other," he said.

"There’s no need for formalities, Mr. Panasonic. Let’s help each other out," Aoyama Xiu Xin replied as they shook hands.

After some pleasantries, Panasonic Tiger led Aoyama Xiu Xin into the house and said with a wistful expression, "Ever since the news came out, Izumi has locked herself in her room, and as family, we are very worried. Please do speak to her, Mr. Aoyama. It would be best if she could overcome this difficult time sooner rather than later."
