In the morning, a ray of sunlight penetrated through the curtains. Jiang Chen opened his eyes and laid in bed for a moment.
Ayesha, who was lying next to him, had disappeared.
The plan required her to hide in the dark, so she wouldn't live with Jiang Chen but lurked nearby. Jiang Chen could see her location from the EP's map, but he didn't open the map. Intuition told him that she wasn't in the mansion.
Since awakening the power of the second level of the hidden genetic code, Jiang Chen found that he was becoming more and more sensitive to the smell of humans …
Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it intuition?
Now intuition told him that Tanaka had already noticed him, but he was still hesitating whether or not to approach.
The maid brought breakfast to the table and gently knocked on the bedroom door, reminding Jiang Chen that it was time to get up for breakfast.
Jiang Chen got up from the bed, took his clothes from the hanger, went to the bathroom, and went straight to the dining room.
There were slices of bread, fried eggs, and a cup of coffee on the table.
Jiang Chen took a bite of the honey-coated bread and nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, the taste was perfect.
Looking at the maid standing next to him, Jiang Chen exclaimed in his mind.
It's too corrupt! The damned bourgeoisie!
The maid respectfully put today's newspaper on the table and stood aside.
"How long have you been working here?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"This is my first time working."
To be able to afford a mansion worth ten billion yen, the person's net worth was not low. Although the country's small film industry was well-developed, many rich people were surprisingly obsessed with cleanliness. After all, the rarer something was, the more expensive it was. Yamato Real Estate naturally wouldn't bring some inferior goods to disgust big customers.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My name is Suzuki Chiatsu. Master can call me Chiatsu," Chiatsu said with a smile.
"You don't look very old. Are you still studying?"
"Mhmm, I'm studying education at Waseda University. I've taken three foreign languages, Chinese, English, and Korean."
She's a genius student, no wonder she speaks Chinese so fluently.
"Waseda University? It seems that your grades are not bad. "
"Not at all. Education is a relatively low-level department in Waseda University, often jokingly called a second-rate department. "Chiatsu politely joked.
"Are you going to be a teacher in the future?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Chiatsu smiled and shook her head.
"I've considered it before, but I'm still not very good at it."
What a joke, how could the salary of a teacher be higher than that of a maid here? A monthly salary of two million yen was an unimaginable amount of money for her a few months ago. The average salary in Ri Nation was only about 200,000 yen. Even her professor's salary was only 500,000 yen.
Although this job was a bit of an "auxiliary job", compared to the easy work and disproportionate income, it was not worth mentioning.
Moreover, if he really did have a relationship with his master, then he would really become a phoenix.
"Are you not going to class?"
"After the Shinagawa virus incident, the school has suspended classes."
"That's sad news." Jiang Chen didn't have any expression of pity on his face when he said that.
"Mhmm … more than a dozen people from our school were also killed in Shinagawa. It feels like a disaster is happening around us. It's so scary …" From Qian Xia's expression, Jiang Chen could see her sadness. Perhaps she knew some of the people who had been killed, and they might even be her friends.
Jiang Chen sighed and said softly, "Cheer up.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Isn't that how movies are made? Villains will eventually be punished."
"Mhmm. I hope … "
The smile was iconic, but Jiang Chen could feel the haze behind the sunshine.
…
After breakfast, the maid put the plates into the kitchen.
Jiang Chen took a sip of coffee, picked up the newspaper, and began to read.
He had developed the habit of reading newspapers a long time ago because he always ran back and forth between the two worlds. In order not to be out of touch with the world on this side, it was necessary to understand current affairs.
[The president of Future Group invested 11 billion US Dollars to buy Yoto real estate!]
This news was published in the Nippon newspaper.
Sure enough, the people of Yamato Housing and Construction wouldn't let go of this opportunity to hype. While everyone was not optimistic about the Nippon economy, Future Group buying Yoto real estate would undoubtedly help boost investor confidence … Bullsh * t.
No one would be willing to be neighbors with the living dead. Tanaka hadn't grasped it yet. The T virus could erupt once, and it could erupt a second time. No one wanted to be neighbors with the living dead.
Because of the impact of the T virus, especially the housing prices in Yoto, had fallen to the bottom, just like during the economic crisis in the 1990s. And the housing prices in Shinagawa … Not to mention houses, many owners had lost their homes, and the houses could only be repossessed by the Yoto government.
Why did Jiang Chen dare to buy at a low price? That was only because he knew the Kurofune wouldn't last long.
[UA economists said that due to the virus, the depreciation of the yen, and the wave of corporate bankruptcies, the Yoto housing prices may continue. It is too early to buy at a low price.]
Very good, it seemed that Wall Street investors were ready to make a move. Jiang Chen was secretly glad that he came early, or else this bargain would be taken by others.
Not only Yoto real estate, but also those high-tech companies on the verge of bankruptcy. Future Group would also acquire them.
He had to admit that Nippon companies did have strong capabilities in the electronics industry. For example, medical, energy, robotics, cameras, displays, optical components … These technologies were even better than Silicon Valley in some aspects. The most important thing was that these technologies could be used by Future Group.
In a while, he had a press conference about Future Technology's acquisition of three electronics companies, cooperation with Future Heavy Industries, and entering the mobile phone manufacturing industry. At the same time, he would also serve as a spokesperson for Future Technology and explain the privatization and asset restructuring issues to the shareholders of the three listed companies.
At this time, Jiang Chen felt the watch on his left hand vibrate.
He glanced in the direction of the kitchen. Jiang Chen didn't call up Jean's holographic image, but turned on the voice function.
Jean's voice immediately appeared in his ear.
"They succeeded."
"Garrett?"
"Yes. The Kenyan drug factory has been destroyed. A total of 214 militants were killed, and 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 identities and successfully evacuated from Kenya. "
"Very good." Jiang Chen nodded and only said these two words.
This was almost half of the inventory of the Kurofune.
Tanaka tried to hide the Kurofune behind the terrorist organization and use the hands of terrorism to transmit the T virus to the world to realize the doomsday plan of the Kurofune. From now on, Celestial Trade would use thunderous means to pressure them and force them out of the rat hole into the sun and stand in front of them.
It was almost time.
Jiang Chen put the newspaper aside, drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp, got up, and walked out the door.
When Qian Xia heard the sound at the entrance, she walked out of the kitchen.
"Master, are you ready to go out?"
"Mhmm." Jiang Chen changed his shoes at the door, stood next to the mirror, and fixed his collar.
"When will you be back? I can prepare lunch, "Qian Xia said with a smile.
"At night … By the way, do you have your own house in Yoto?"
"I have a small apartment that I rented for a year, but I haven't been back for a long time."
"You can stay in your own home today."
"Did I do something wrong?" Qian Xia lowered her head and said pitifully.
When he pushed the door open, Jiang Chen turned around and smiled.
"No, it's just that tonight, I may have something to do."
