CHAPTER 810: CHAPTER 669: FUNDING THE YOUTH ASSOCIATION, SECRET MEETING WITH CIA LEADERSHIP

"Yoshino, Yoko, how many members does the Youth Association currently have?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked kindly while peeling an orange and handing it to Ogimura Yoko, "Have some fruit."

"Hi! Thank you, Chief Aoyama!" Ogimura Yoko excitedly and cautiously took it, afraid of dropping it, and fed a slice into her mouth, her smile blooming like a flower, "This is truly the sweetest orange I’ve ever eaten."

She was quite good-looking, very tall, roughly measured at around 1.7 meters, which is quite rare among Japanese women. Her figure wasn’t slim, more of a voluptuous type with a small belly but definitely not fat.

She had shoulder-length hair, wore glasses, a small face, peach blossom eyes, and a small mole on her chin that added a touch of maturity and charm, her white shirt was stretched tightly, and her blue jeans hugged her full hips and thighs, the curves were striking. This is probably the kind of slightly plump, fleshy type that men like.

Being admired by such a beautiful woman, one must admit, is incredibly satisfying psychologically.

As for Yoshino Nagashun, this guy also looked genteel, outwardly proper, making Aoyama Xiu Xin wonder if joining the Youth Association has a beauty standard.

After all, as the honorary president, he was quite handsome himself.

"If you like it, eat more." Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled slightly and also invited Yoshino Nagashun, "Yoshino, you too, don’t be shy. What, as a man, do you want me to peel one for you?"

"No need, no need." Yoshino Nagashun shook his head embarrassedly, picked up an orange but didn’t rush to peel and eat it, instead, he answered the question Aoyama Xiu Xin had just asked, "Chief Aoyama..."

"I remember I’m the honorary president of the Youth Association, right? But so far, none of you have called me president." Aoyama Xiu Xin interrupted Yoshino Nagashun’s words, jokingly.

"Ah!" Both Yoshino Nagashun and Ogimura Yoko were stunned, then after reacting, they were overjoyed, bowed simultaneously to apologize, "President, please forgive our rudeness!"

They had been worried that Aoyama Xiu Xin would blame them for forcibly giving him the honorary president title, but unexpectedly he directly acknowledged it. If other members knew this, they would surely be thrilled.

"Alright, continue." Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled and waved his hand, indicating they needn’t be overly polite.

"Hi!" Yoshino Nagashun responded and then continued, "President, our Youth Association was established one year and two months ago, mainly developing among students and also recruiting some outstanding members from society. We have branches in Hokkaido and various universities in Tokyo. Excluding those in the evaluation period, there are over 2000 official members. This is because our membership standards are strict, eliminating many people; otherwise, this number would have doubled."

"That’s quite a lot." Aoyama Xiu Xin asked curiously, "What are the criteria for joining?"

"First and foremost, one must be a devout supporter of you, President, and like us, acknowledge all your actions and words! Be able to memorize some of your representative speeches and use them flexibly." Yoshino Nagashun blurted out, then continued to supplement, "The remaining requirements are patriotism, no criminal record, and the ambition to contribute to the nation, among these most basic requirements."

"I didn’t expect so many passionate youths idolize me; it seems I must strictly monitor my actions and words in the future, as they all see me as a role model!" Aoyama Xiu Xin said earnestly.

Ogimura Yoko quickly said, "You don’t need to overly worry about these things, you have already integrated your integrity into every action and word."

Aoyama Xiu Xin blushed, surprisingly feeling ashamed and guilty for the first time. Damn, I’m not as good as they say; I’m a corrupt official!

"The Youth Association is good, but running such an organization is no easy task, just the funding alone must be a headache for you." Aoyama Xiu Xin said as he looked at the two.

The two exchanged glances, both remaining silent.

Aoyama Xiu Xin slapped his thigh, "In that case, seeing you young people so energetic and determined to serve the nation, I’m pleased and can’t do nothing. From now on, I’ll provide you a fund monthly to support the development of your organization."

"Really? This is wonderful! We thank you on behalf of all the members of the Youth Association!" Ogimura Yoko and Yoshino Nagashun quickly stood up to bow in gratitude.

"I’m your president, after all!" Aoyama Xiu Xin laughed heartily, "The greatest reward for me is seeing the Youth Association develop without losing its original intention."

What he meant by not losing its original intention, of course, referred to not forgetting who the Youth Association idolizes and follows, which is him.

Not that patriotic nonsense.

With sufficient funds, the Youth Association could rapidly develop, expand its size, and within years, spread to all universities in Japan.

"Here’s my private number, feel free to contact me if you encounter problems or difficulties, I am also willing to give advice when you’re confused." Aoyama Xiu Xin took out a private business card and handed it over, then glanced at his watch, "I have other matters, so I won’t keep you."

"Hi!" The two quickly stood up and took their leave.

After walking out of the door, they couldn’t suppress their excitement any longer.

Chattering away.

Listening to the gradually fading voices of the two, Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled slightly, young people are truly full of energy.

And quite easy to use!

"Ring ring! Ring ring!"

At this moment, the phone rang.

"Moshi moshi." He casually answered.

"Aoyama Xiu Xin, come out and meet up."

Aoyama Xiu Xin raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"

"I come from America," the person on the other side replied.

Xiu Xin paused for a moment, "You have come from afar and you are a guest, how about I host you?"

"Haha." The person on the other side recognized his wariness and unease and chuckled softly, "Alright, it’s your place, as the Chinese saying goes, ’the guest follows the host’s preferences’."

"Then in half an hour, I await your arrival at the Maple Club, don’t miss it." Xiu Xin couldn’t grasp who this person was, but his tone suggested importance, so he behaved properly.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately arranged for security details at the Maple Club, while he himself changed clothes and set out.

..................

Xiu Xin, as the host, arrived first.

He sat alone in the spacious private room, leisurely brewing tea while waiting for the guest’s arrival.

About ten minutes later, the Changzi Gate was pushed open.

Xiu Xin instinctively looked up.

A blonde Caucasian man, looking to be in his forties, slightly overweight and dressed in a suit, walked in.

"Welcome, honored guest from afar, please have a seat." Xiu Xin stood up with a smile to greet him.

The Caucasian man stepped forward smiling charmingly and shook hands with him, speaking fluent Japanese: "Mr. Aoyama can call me Johnson, from the CIA, currently working as the Director’s Assistant. The Director asked me to greet you on his behalf and thank you for the information on your country’s Ministry of Finance that you provided earlier. It is very important to us."

"It’s an honor that makes me feeling unsettled." Xiu Xin quickly revealed an expression of shock and disbelief, slightly bending forward, "Please, have a seat, Your Excellency."

The matter of the Ministry of Finance’s intelligence was known only to him, Aoyama Sosuke, and Annie. The fact that this American could accurately mention it indicated his identity was likely genuine.

Being the Assistant to the CIA Director is not a low status.

His value in uniting fronts has risen indeed!

Even such figures secretly come to contact him.

"No need to be formal, Mr. Aoyama. Just consider me a friend," Johnson laughed heartily as he naturally took a seat, although a guest, he seemed as composed as if he were the host, "I didn’t come here today for any official business, just to chat casually with you, Mr. Aoyama."

"Sure! I’ll speak freely and ensure you leave wholeheartedly entertained," Xiu Xin replied with a slight smile.

Then, the two indeed chatted idly, conversing from daily entertainment to international politics, during which Xiu Xin unwaveringly displayed his desire for power and recognition of America.

"America! Only under America’s leadership does Japan have hope! It’s ridiculous that some fools even think about separating from America, how did such people rise to high positions? They should be thrown into the Pacific Ocean!"

"Being born in Japan is my greatest regret and also my greatest fortune. The regret is because I wasn’t born in America, but the fortune is because I live under America’s protection and have the opportunity to strengthen my homeland by relying on America! To simultaneously contribute my modest efforts to both my birthplace and the spiritual homeland I’ve never met..."

Johnson was now essentially representing the Organization Department to assess him. If he didn’t show his stance and loyalty at this time, then when?

Johnson was very satisfied, whether Xiu Xin was expressing his true thoughts or merely flattering America to gain acceptance and support, it showed he was perceptive and sensible, someone who could be trusted and supported.

"We in America have always appreciated young talents like Mr. Aoyama who perceive worldly affairs clearly, because only with more people like you taking power can Japan bear the responsibility of stabilizing the Asian situation with America’s support to maintain world peace," Johnson nodded and said, then suddenly changed the subject, "The information from the Ministry of Finance last time was indeed a great contribution, is there anything Mr. Aoyama desires? Don’t hesitate to ask."

"Is there... anything possible?" Xiu Xin shifted from his previous ambitious and eloquent demeanor to a more reserved, somewhat embarrassed demeanor.

Johnson smiled slightly, "Of course, express freely, Mr. Aoyama, it’s your deserved reward."

"I want Annie." Xiu Xin, with an expression of having gathered his courage, said with longing in his eyes: "She is the most charming woman I have ever seen."

"Hahahaha! Mr. Aoyama truly has an eye for beauty." Johnson laughed heartily, "It’s not shameful for a man to like a beautiful woman. I’ve noted it down and will do my best to help realize it for you."

The person’s reputation for being lustful was just as the intelligence suggested, which was beneficial. If Annie and Xiu Xin developed romantic ties, it would aid in monitoring and controlling him.

After all, the higher-ups had decided to invest heavily in Xiu Xin, so it’s necessary to plant agents around him.

Xiu Xin’s eyes suddenly lit up, swallowing hard before saying: "Really? That’s wonderful!"

The reason he made this request was partly to deliberately urge the Americans to plant agents around him to reassure them.

The other reason was to see Annie being reluctantly yet patriotically sacrificed as she pleased him with tears.

Being lustful and ambitious do not conflict.

The two had a pleasant conversation during this meeting and only reluctantly dispersed late at night.

Once they got into their cars, the drunk appearances faded, and Johnson took out a notebook to jot down the details and important information he had gathered during their interaction.
