" . . . 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 .
The sky had turned completely dark . There were street lights on the roadside with only a few souls on the road . Because of the chaos caused by the economic depression and collapse of order, the entire city of Yoto wasn't safe . With that in mind, he couldn't help thinking about the little maid he just received who he asked to return to her apartment . Hopefully, she wouldn't encounter any danger .
Suddenly, Jiang Chen opened his eyes .
The feeling became stronger and stronger as if there were something staring at him in the distance .
"Here?"
Jiang Chen murmured to himself and put his hand into his pocket . Feeling a dense metal object, his hand gripped the pistol . At the same time, Ayesha's voice came from a miniature headset hidden in his ear .
"300 meters in front, there are a lot of heat sources in the groves . Roadblocks are set up in the middle of the road . "
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes .
"How many people?"
"Fifty-seven . "
Fifty-seven? Even though he was wanted by the world, the Kurofune was still able to mobilize so many "believers" in the outskirts of Yoto?
This was contrary to Jiang Chen's expectations . He thought Tanaka would be discreet and play tricks, but he was open and stood in front of him .
"Where are you now?"
"In the mansion… Wait, the situation is a bit odd . There's only one person . The others are all-"
Not far from the streetlights, there were shadowy figures, blank eyes, and dangling hands . Jiang Chen knew what those were too well .
They were zombies!
Without hesitating, Jiang Chen immediately ordered the driver .
"Stop!"
The three cars stopped and the Celestial Trade bodyguards obviously noticed something was wrong . Six people, including the driver, immediately stepped out of the car and kept Jiang Chen's car in the middle . Although there were fifty-something zombies against them and there were only six sticks on their side, no one showed any fear .
No matter if it was the T virus or TT virus, it made no difference to those who were injected by vaccines . Unable to be infected through bites, the threat of zombies was greatly diminished .
The door opened again and Jiang Chen stepped out .
"President, it is dangerous outside . Please remain in the car . " The bodyguards standing in the front row saw Jiang Chen getting out and whispered .
"No, staying in the car is more dangerous . "
Jiang Chen said emotionlessly . He walked to the front and stood in front of Tanaka, tens of meters away .
"We meet again . "
"Yeah, last time we met was last year," Tanaka said with a smile .
"It was the year before last . It was 2018 years ago . "
Looking at Tanaka's composed expression, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed .
"As the saying goes, best two out of three . We tied during the previous two matches . This is the final match, so shouldn't we decide a winner?"
"I agree . " Tanaka smiled .
"So, are you prepared to fight me with these 56 zombies?" Jiang Chen put his hand in his pocket .
"Of course . Don't underestimate them . " Tanaka smiled and opened his hands . "They're the manifestation of science . "
Instantly, the blank pupils turned red . As if driven by some kind of force, the muscles of these zombie bodies suddenly looked like boiling water . With explosive roars, they began to swell . . .
