Chapter 714: Draw a Snake out of its Hole
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
Early morning, when the first ray of sunshine sneaked into the curtains, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and spent a moment in bed.
Ayesha, lying next to him, has disappeared.
The plan needed her to hide in the dark, so she could not live with Jiang Chen, but had to lurk nearby. Jiang Chen could see her location on the map of his EP, but he did not open the map. Instincts told him that she was not in the mansion now.
Since awakening the power of the second level of genetic code, Jiang Chen had found that he has become more and more sensitive to human scents…
Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it intuition?
Intuition now told him that Tanaka has already noticed him, but was hesitant on whether he should be approached.
The maid brought the breakfast to the table and gently knocked at the door of the bedroom to remind Jiang Chen it was time to get up for breakfast.
After climbing out of bed, Jiang Chen took clothes from the hangers and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then he headed straight to the dining room.
On the table was a slice of bread, fried eggs, and a cup of coffee.
He took a bite of the honey-coated bread and nodded in satisfaction.
Not bad, the color and smell were both excellent.
Looking at the maid standing beside him, Jiang Chen could not help but sigh in his heart.
[This is too corrupt! The damn wealthy class!]
The maid respectfully placed the newspaper on the table and then stood aside.
“How long have you been working here?” Jiang Chen asked casually.
“This is my first day.”
People who could afford luxury homes in the ten billion yen range were, in fact, powerful people. Although the country’s adult film industry was flourishing, many wealthy individuals in the country are unexpectedly clean. After all, things that are rare are more valuable. Yamato Housing Construction naturally would not provide inferior service to important clients.
“I haven’t asked for your name yet.”
“You can call me Qian Xia,” Qian Xia said with a smile.
“You don’t look good, are you still studying?”
“Mhmm, I’m studying education at Waseda University and studied three foreign languages: Chinese, English, and Korean.”
It was no wonder her Chinese was so fluent.
“Waseda University? You’re a great student.”
“Not at all. Education belongs to the lower school department and is often referred to as a second-rate degree.” Qian Xia politely joked.
“Are you planning to be a teacher?” Jiang Chen smiled.
Qian Xia shook her head.
“I used to think about it, but sure enough, I’m not very good at it.”
The salary of a teacher was much lower than the salary of a maid. The monthly salary of two million Yen was simply an unimaginable huge sum for her a few months ago. We must know that the average salary in Nippon was about 200,000 Yen. Even her professor made only half a million Yen.
Although this job had an “escort” nature, the relatively simple nature and the disproportionate income made the flaw not worth mentioning.
And if there really is a relationship with the owner, it would change her life
“Do you not go to class?”
“After the Shinagawa virus incident, the school suspended classes.”
“That is really sad news.” Jiang Chen’s face had no sad expression on it when he said it.
“Mhmm… a dozen people from our school died. I feel like tragedy is occurring around me. It is too terrifying…” From Qian Xia’s expression, Jiang Chen could read her sorrow. Perhaps among the dozen or so people who were killed there were those she knew, and perhaps even her friends.
Jiang Chen sighed and whispered.
“Look on the bright side. The films always told us that the villain will eventually be punished.”
“Well, I hope…”
That smile was dignified, but Jiang Chen could see the haze behind the brightness.
…
After breakfast, the maid brought the plate into the kitchen.
Jiang Chen sipped on the coffee and picked up the newspaper.
The habit of reading newspapers was developed a long time ago. As he always traveled between two worlds, in order to stay in touch with the world on this side, it was still necessary to know current affairs.
This news was published in a Nippon newspaper.
Sure enough, people in Yamato wouldn’t miss this opportunity to build momentum. While everyone lacked optimism about the economy, Future Group swept Yoto real estate, which would undoubtedly help boost investors’ confidence… Bullsh*t!
Nobody was willing to live with the living-dead. Tanaka hadn’t been caught yet. The T virus may erupt for the second time.
Because of the influence of T virus, housing prices in Yoto, in particular, had already fallen to the bottom, as they did during the economic crisis in the 1990s. The housing prices in Shinagawa district… Not mentioning the house, many household owners were gone, and the house could only be taken over by the Yoto Municipal Government.
Why did Jiang Chen dare to buy at the bottom? It was only because he knew that the Kurofune would not last long.
Well, it seems that investors on Wall Street were ready to buy. Jiang Chen rejoiced that he came early, or else others would have taken advantage of the situation.
Not only Yoto’s real estate, but also the Nippon high-tech companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, Future Group planned to acquire them all.
It must be admitted that Nippon companies do have a strong ability in the electronics industry. Such as medical care, energy, robots, cameras, displays, optical components… these technologies were even more advanced than the Silicon Valley. The most crucial point was that these technologies were a perfect fit for Future Group
He had a press conference in a bit on Future Technology’s acquisition of three Nippon electronics companies. The companies would cooperate with Future Heavy Industries to enter the mobile phone industry. At the same time, he would also act as a spokesperson for Future Technology and explain the privatization and reorganization of assets to shareholders of these three listed companies at the meeting.
At the same time, Jiang Chen felt the watch on his left wrist vibrate.
He glanced at the direction of the kitchen. He didn’t call out Jean’s holographic image but only opened the voice function.
Jean immediately said.
“They succeeded.”
“Garrett?”
“Yes. The Kenyan drug factory has been destroyed and a total of 214 armed militants were killed. About 1.7 tons of virus stock and 50 tons of raw materials were destroyed. Although the Kenyan military was alerted, our combat units did not expose their identity and successfully evacuated from Kenya.”
“Excellent.” Jiang Chen nodded and only said the one word.
It was over half of Kurofune’s inventory.
Tanaka tried to hide the Kurofune behind terrorism, use terrorism to send the T virus to the world and realize Kurofune’s doomsday plan. From now on, Celestial Trade will use dominating actions to suppress them, force them to come out of their rat holes, and stand in front of him.
It was almost time.
Putting the newspaper aside, Jiang Chen drank the rest of the coffee in one breath and walked to the door.
Hearing the sound at the entrance, Qian Xia came out of the kitchen.
“Is master ready to go?”
“Yes.” Putting on his shoes at the door, Jiang Chen stood by the mirror and fixed his collar.
“About when will you come back? I’ll prepare lunch.” Qian Xia smiled.
“Around this evening… Right, do you have your own place in Yoto?”
“There is a small apartment that I have rented for a year, but I haven’t gone back for a long time.”
“Go live at your place today.”
“Did I do a bad job?” Qian Xia lowered her head and said sadly.
When Jiang opened the door, he turned his head and smiled.
“No, just go tonight. I may have something to do.”
