CHAPTER 809: CHAPTER 668: BARREL VALUE RISES, YOUTH ASSOCIATION

The next day, as the news broadcast and newspapers were released, the story of Aoyama Xiu Xin single-handedly daringly rescuing a little girl and snatching a gun to kill four bandits spread throughout the country, making him famous once again.

"Si Guoyi! Truly worthy of Chief Aoyama!"

"Even as a chief, he didn’t hesitate to take off his shoes and give them to the informant, listening to the case barefoot and going alone to save people, unafraid of danger. He hasn’t become more cautious as his position rose; this is the bureaucrat Japan needs!"

"Some people think only of more power and benefits as they rise in position, but Mr. Aoyama only thinks of shouldering greater responsibilities. Whether as an ordinary police officer or as the chief, he always places the citizens at heart and puts the national interest first!"

"In the four worst economic years, we welcomed the most righteous official in the country. As an ordinary person, I would rather trade thirty years of economic stagnation for Chief Aoyama’s eternal health and longevity!"

Aoyama Xiu Xin, noble as a chief, gave his shoes to a civilian and asked about the case barefoot, showing his approachability and kindness; risking his status to save people alone demonstrated his spirit of ignoring life and death for the citizens; successfully rescuing the hostages further showed his formidable strength. Who wouldn’t like such a kind, just, and capable young official?

Even those little black fans who kept criticizing Aoyama Xiu Xin in the past two years have either disappeared, not daring to show up, or have turned into fans conquered by him.

The worse the general environment, the more people desire a hero to lead them out of a predicament. People need spiritual support, and Aoyama Xiu Xin has become that beam of light in the darkness for them.

As for the frequent rumors about Aoyama Xiu Xin’s unclean private life this past year, most people think it’s a deliberate smear by unseen big hands.

Put it this way, unless explicit videos and photos emerge, these mere rumors alone have little impact on the increasingly solid golden body of Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Nowadays in Japan, there might be people who don’t know who the Prime Minister is, but if you ask if they know Aoyama Xiu Xin, the old man on the roadside can talk to you about it.

Aoyama Xiu Xin is undeniably the top figure of this era in Japan, a star bureaucrat, attracting all attention.

This Takino Spirit Garden incident was too shocking.

Among the people, there are already enthusiastic fans of Aoyama Xiu Xin planning to designate his birthday, December 15th every year, as Xiuxin Festival, with everyone spontaneously organizing activities to celebrate his birthday.

Fortunately, the Cabinet Minister and Prime Minister of Japan are not directly elected by the people; otherwise, many would probably be in a rush to physically eliminate Aoyama Xiu Xin.

Aoyama Xiu Xin’s influence among the Japanese public has directly enhanced his strategic value in the eyes of the United States.

Richard, who received Aoyama Xiu Xin’s money, has repeatedly reported upwards, emphasizing Aoyama Xiu Xin’s potential. After being promoted and returning to his country, he reported face-to-face to the CIA director about the importance of Aoyama Xiu Xin for U.S. control over Japan.

Letting this young Aoyama Xiu Xin catch the eyes of the American upper class, and the last Ministry of Finance confidential data incident further demonstrated Aoyama Xiu Xin’s value and his loyalty to the US, prompting the American side to secretly send people into Japan for further investigation on Aoyama Xiu Xin.

This Takino Spirit Garden incident gave American investigators a deep sense of Aoyama Xiu Xin’s influence in Japan, and the key is that he’s still young.

As he grows older and his status rises, his influence in Japan will only increase. Such a person, even if he does not actively lean towards the U.S., must be controlled by the U.S., or consider eliminating him.

Moreover, since he now shows longing and loyalty towards the U.S. in all aspects, he should of course be strongly supported, cultivated, and invested in.

Therefore, this investigator, after consulting the superiors, was allowed to meet with Aoyama Xiu Xin.

However, Aoyama Xiu Xin is not yet aware of this.

At this moment, he is at home entertaining two young people.

A man and a woman, both around twenty years old, are sitting across from him with flushed faces, looking at him excitedly, trembling with excitement.

"No need to be so excited, you can relax a bit, just see me as a friend. I’m probably not much older than you." Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled gracefully and shook his head slightly as he said.

The scholarly young man with glasses blurted out, "Chief Aoyama, you are my idol, a god-like man. You can’t understand our current feelings. I never dreamed I’d receive a personal invitation to visit you!"

"Yes, Chief Aoyama, if my friends knew, they would be insanely jealous." The young woman’s voice was choked with emotion.

The boy is called Yoshino Nagashun, just turned twenty this year, the girl is called Ogimura Xingzi, also just twenty-two, both are students at Sapporo University.

At the same time, they are vice-president and secretary-general of a civilian organization born last year called the "Patriotic Youth Association".

This Patriotic Youth Association, although sharing the same name as a famous right-wing group in Japan’s history, doesn’t have much to do with its core ideology, just a coincidence in names.

And this Patriotic Youth Association has Aoyama Xiu Xin as their honorary president, with all members being young men and women in their teens and twenties, all admirers of Aoyama Xiu Xin, who proposed to set December 15th as Xiuxin Festival to celebrate his birth.

Without this ridiculous matter, Aoyama Xiu Xin wouldn’t have noticed this civilian organization at all.

Once he grasped that all the members of this Patriotic Youth Association were his fanatic fans, he immediately became interested, believing that such a potential organization should not be left to grow wildly but should be supported and guided.

These people are now bold enough to propose making his birthday a holiday; in the future, proposing to overturn the Gods and worship him isn’t impossible! Aoyama Xiu Xin likes young people, especially radical young people.

Looking at the ardent fans of those celebrities in later ages, they dare do a series of stupid things that violate morals and laws blindly for the sake of their idols. If these young people are well-directed by him, they will have great potential in the future.

So he invited these two lead fans to his home.

"Thank you very much for your love." Aoyama Xiu Xin nodded sincerely and said, "It is also my honor to receive the support of such outstanding young people, pillars of the nation. I’m very touched by it."

What do young people who haven’t stepped into society want most?

Money? Beauty?

No! It’s recognition!

Especially recognition from the upper echelons and their idols.

And Aoyama Xiu Xin is both the upper echelon and an idol.

Indeed, Aoyama Xiu Xin’s words nearly made the two directly climax on the spot; Ogimura Xingzi couldn’t help but burst into tears, "Thank you, thank you for your recognition, letting me know I’m not doing these things in vain, I’m doing what’s right, thank you."

"Chief Aoyama, we, the Patriotic Youth Association, will always support and follow you! Most of our members will also join the police in the future! To protect the rule of law and peace under your leadership!" Yoshino Nagashun’s face was flushed, his fists clenched, and he was fired up.

Aoyama Xiu Xin felt a bit embarrassed, the reactions of these two were too exaggerated. He felt that even if he said he wanted to sleep with Ogimura Xingzi right now, she would probably obediently take off her clothes and lie down, and Yoshino Nagashun beside her would volunteer to push up the pillow.

He suddenly realized, didn’t the female disciples of Asahara Shoko look at him with similar eyes?

Blind worship and deification of individuals should be avoided!

What? They’re worshiping and deifying me?

Oh, that’s fine then, please intensify it!
