Although there were no surprises, the unexpected event inevitably affected the three-party meeting.

A few days after the incident, Fujiwara Reiki returned to Japan.

It’s human nature.

There’s no reason to stop her.

Following the departure of the Japanese delegation, the Korean delegation also left Shen Zhou.

This.

Marks another postponement of the trilateral free trade agreement.

However, postponement doesn’t mean all efforts were wasted.

One bite at a time.

No great achievement is accomplished overnight.

Compared to before the meeting, many of the differences among the three parties have been alleviated or resolved. Although the final treaty was not signed, they collectively took a significant step forward in advancing regional economic integration.

This time, no handshake.

It might be because it’s waiting for next time.

Just like what Fujiwara Reiki said when bidding farewell to Comrade Jiang Chen.

Parting is for a better reunion.

It’s just that due to the impact of the attack, they couldn’t say goodbye in person, which is a minor regret.

But well.

Everyone is still young.

There’s plenty of time.

Shen Zhou and Japan are neighbors, and economic and trade exchanges are increasingly close, so meeting up isn’t a difficult thing.

Oh right.

In the farewell call, this Japanese Crown Princess specifically mentioned Lan Peizhi, thanking him for saving her life and saying she would remember this kindness forever.

Understanding gratitude is certainly a noble quality.

For an ordinary person, receiving a favor from this Demoness is enough to change one’s destiny.

But that’s the Blood Guanyin.

— Probably no place needs her to repay.

Oh right.

She might be looking for him all over Kyoto City.

Just joking.

If she really wants to catch him, Jiang Chen believes that even if he unleashed the greatest potential of his life that night, likely breaking East Sea University’s sprint record, he wouldn’t escape her Five Finger Mountain.

That slap was indeed extremely risky, akin to dancing at the brink of death.

But she broke his leg and then set it back, so it’s reasonable to assume she wouldn’t really kill him.

Therefore, he didn’t deliberately avoid her and fulfilled a citizen’s duty. As a witness and involved party, Jiang Chen fully cooperated with the "West Factory" investigation, saying everything he knew, until they announced they no longer needed his assistance and expressed their gratitude, so Jiang Chen left Kyoto.

Hmm.

He returned to East Sea.

No other reason.

Just wanted some rest after being busy for so long, plus he’s not a bachelor, he has to consider his girlfriend’s feelings.

"Director Jiang!"

Tianci Capital.

Li Shuru’s female secretary excitedly looked at someone, her eyes glowing with admiration. Don’t get it wrong, it’s a kind of reverence similar to a fan finally seeing their idol.

Knee-length skirt, black stockings, legs as straight as pencils, and really no gap in between...

Ahem.

Jiang Chen just casually glanced and then returned his gaze to her eyes.

Beauties were never in short supply.

What’s more, those around him were all legendary beauties, his appreciation silently refined all the time.

What attracted him most was the exuberant vitality in this secretary’s eyes.

It seemed.

Even made him feel much younger.

Jiang Chen nodded and continued forward.

"President Li went to a meeting. I’ll notify President Li."

"No need. I’ll wait for her."

The secretary opened the door for him, and Jiang Chen entered the office.

"What would Director Jiang like to drink?"

"Water will do."

The secretary quickly poured some water.

"Thank you."

The secretary was overwhelmed with flattery, quickly saying: "Director Jiang, there’s no need to be polite."

Jiang Chen took a sip of water, placed the gift on the office coffee table, and found it interesting.

Too inexperienced.

Not like a qualified high-level secretary.

"Why haven’t I seen you before?"

He chatted amiably with her.

"I just joined the company not long ago."

Rookie?

A rookie can become Li Shuru’s secretary?

Looking at the girl’s age, she didn’t seem like someone with rich professional experience.

"Connected person?"

Boss Jiang asked while holding the tea cup.

She was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head.

"No."

"Then how come you got such a high position just after joining the company?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Flirting with his girlfriend’s secretary as soon as he returns, such a thing only he could pull off.

After this "training" in Kyoto, his mindset undoubtedly reached another level.

In Daoist terms, it would be acting in accordance with nature.

"... It’s President Li’s arrangement."

"What’s your major?"

"Same as Director Jiang’s."

Jiang Chen was surprised, "How do you know my major?"

"Because Director Jiang is my senior."

Jiang Chen was astonished, then he realized, "You’re also from East University?"

"Yes."

No wonder.

Li Shuru really carried forward Tianci Capital’s glorious tradition of employing people based on personal connections.

"Which year did you graduate?"

Since she’s a junior, he felt even more at ease to chat.

"I just graduated this year."

"Just graduated and got this position, it seems your Senior Sister Li really values you."

"Yes. I am very grateful to President Li."

Why go to a prestigious university?

This is the reason.

Alumni from ordinary colleges may be delivering food or laying bricks, but graduates from prestigious universities might very well be successful elites.

Alumni from ordinary colleges can take you to deliver food, but if they are from prestigious universities, willing to lend you a hand, it could help you avoid countless detours in life.

Like this girl.

The market value of Tianci Capital exceeds ten billion, what virtue or ability does a fresh graduate have?

The theory that studying is useless is for fooling the naive.

There indeed are some cases where people from humble backgrounds achieve great success.
