Chapter 1334 - : Im Being Watched (2/2)

“Hahaha, Mr. Jiang can certainly read the situation, cheers.” Kis.h.i.+da Fumio, slightly intoxicated, raised his gla.s.s.

Jiang Chen also raised the gla.s.s slightly, but when he drank, he threw the liquor into the storage dimension…

In the melodious symphony, the banquet was approaching the end.

Since it was getting late, Jiang Chen was not interested in staying any longer. After exchanging goodbyes with Kis.h.i.+da and the others, he got up and headed to the door.

After he left New Otani Hotel, he walked toward the convoy at the entrance of the hotel. Unsurprisingly, Sumitomo Kenichi, who had previously hinted at something, also followed him.

It was unclear what kind of concerns Mr. Sumitomo had. After he was next to Jiang Chen, he didn’t say his intentions directly, nor did he even talk about the drones that he had mentioned earlier. He just chatted casually on some non-related topics. After Jiang Chen got into the car, he also opened the door on the other side and sat next to him.

The door closed.

Only until this moment, did Sumitomo Kenichi remove the mask on his face. His stiff smile slowly relaxed, he leaned on the seat, and let out a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chen took a long look at the eldest son of the Sumitomo Financial Group, and then he said with a comforting tone.

“Don’t worry about being overheard here, you can speak freely. But before you speak, I have to say something in advance. If you are going to talk to me about something boring, it’s better not to say it.”

“I’m being watched!” Sumitomo Kenichi hurriedly said.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then he laughed.

“You got the wrong guy.”

For what reason would the eldest son of a large consortium be watched?

Apart from the power struggle within the consortium, Jiang Chen could not think of a better reason.

The relations.h.i.+p between Celestial Trade and Sumitomo Group could only be described as a friendly partners.h.i.+p. Jiang Chen only knew Sumitomo Kenichi as a partner, and he was not interested in partic.i.p.ating in their internal power struggle.

To put it bluntly, no matter who the next owner of the Sumitomo Group is, it would have no impact on Celestial Trade’s Global Power Grid plan. The Sumitomo Group was not the only company capable of taking on this project in Nippon. The submarine power transmission cables were already built. If the Central Power Company was no longer a suitable partner, Celestial Trade could still work with Eastern Power and Western Power.

With many nuclear power and thermal power plants shut down, Nippon no longer had the final say in electricity.

“No! I didn’t find the wrong person!” Sumitomo Kenichi stared at Jiang Chen, and said in a pleading tone, “Please let me finish.”

Jiang Chen motioned for him to continue.

“You might think this is an internal struggle within our family, and I’m asking you for help, right? Am I such an idiot? Can those idiots beat me?” With a self-deprecating grin, Sumitomo Kenichi took a deep breath, sorted out the thoughts in his head, and stared at Jiang Chen with seriousness, “The CIB is targeting me…”
