715 Why donst you help me? (1/2)
”...above is Future Technology's restructuring plan for the three companies. Thank you for being here for our media and shareholders. Thank you!”
There was a burst of applause from the audience, but the faces of the original shareholders of the three acquired companies were not smiling. Even if Future Group offered a good deal and took over their mess, it still couldn't make up for the losses they suffered during the virus incident.
The reporter's response was more positive and he asked Jiang Chen all sorts of questions.
”What kinds of products will be introduced by Future Technology?”
”What will the amazing features of this product be?”
”When will you get married?”
”...”
These reporters always plugged in irrelevant questions in serious situations.
In short, the press conference ended successfully, and it was now late.
Surrounded by bodyguards, Jiang Chen walked out of the venue and entered the Mercedes.
”Boss, where are we going now?” The driver started the car and turned to Jiang Chen.
”Go home.”
”Okay.”
The driver nodded and skillfully turned the steering wheel. Two Mercedes in the front and back guarded Jiang Chen's car in the middle. Although the bodyguards in the car were dressed in suits, they were all equipped with kinetic skeleton underneath.
Even without guns, their combat abilities could compare to a six-man infantry squad. With such a powerful force, Jiang Chen even wondered whether Tanaka was afraid since his bodyguards were too strong.
After thinking about it, he shook his head and dismissed the idea.
News of him in Nippon had spread. With Tanaka's madness and his threat to the Kurofune, he would never pass on this opportunity. In Xin, which was absolutely controlled by Celestial Trade, the Kurofune had no opportunities at all.
In the car, he suddenly got a call from Xia Shiyu.
”How did the acquisition go?”
”It went smoothly. The CEO of the subsidiary handled it for me. I felt that I wasn't useful at all and was just a mascot at the press conference.” Jiang Chen revealed a helpless expression as he spoke with a sly tone.
Hearing Jiang Chen's unserious voice, Xia Shiyu sighed and began to lecture him. ”So I told you that there's absolutely no need for you to be there in person. Now that the situation in Napon isn't so peaceful, you're in a dangerous position as the group's President. If any incidents happen, there isn't even a successor in place.”
”Haha, why don't you help me?”
Somehow, this joke shouldn't have been blurted out of his mouth. Jiang Chen himself was stunned. Just as he was prepared to explain himself, the call was disconnected.
”It was just a joke; there's no need to hang up on me!” Jiang Chen muttered, hesitated, and ultimately decided not to call back. He stuffed the phone in his pocket and closed his eyes to rest them.
At the same moment, thousands of kilometers away.
The hand holding the phone trembled unceasingly, and Xia Shiyu's face was red. Her original serious expression vanished.
The phone slid onto her folder.
Without any indications, she suddenly buried her entire red face into her arms.
[Obviously it was just a joke; why did I react in such a dramatic way? Why did I hang up the phone? Doesn't that make it look like I took it seriously? What a shame! Will he think that I... Hmph, why do I care about what he thinks? I'm so mad!]
It must be said that women thought much more than men to the point where they would even confuse themselves.
Unaware of the confusion Xia Shiyu was in, Jiang Chen was sinking into his seat to rest. He didn't linger on the incident at all.
As the car gradually left the city, the bustling high-rise buildings receded and were replaced with lush green trees and harmonious dwellings. Jiang Chen looked at the GPS; they were a few kilometers away from the mansions.
