Chapter 1471: 991 Bathroom (Chapter 1)

After dinner, Jiang Chen returned to his room absent-mindedly and plopped down on the sofa. Even though he hadn’t eaten seafood, his head was still buzzing.

Jiuding is a shareholder of Yingdong Electric Power.

In other words.

Jiuding Group is equivalent to being one of the bosses of Yingdong Electric Power!

This is still a break!

But isn’t Yingdong Electric Power backed by Dongying’s national assets? How could they let outsiders get involved?

No doubt about it.

The issues involved are definitely top-level corporate secrets, which are difficult to understand without being an insider.

However, the specifics aren’t too important.

The information obtained from Cao Jinse’s mouth is already sufficient.

Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa, staring absent-mindedly at the ceiling.

It seems he underestimated the current strength and prosperity of Shenzhou.

Indeed.

If foreigners can invest everywhere in Shenzhou, wouldn’t Shenzhou Enterprises be allowed to go abroad and contribute to the development of international friends?

But it seems that this overseas project has encountered issues.

The construction quality was not up to standard, resulting in a "quite severe" collapse.

Boss Jiang had no prior knowledge of the relationship between Yingdong Electric Power and Jiuding Group, nor did he consider this angle. But there’s one thing he’s sure of: the nuclear leak incident at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant is definitely unrelated to Jiuding Group.

Even though Shenzhou and Dongying have deep ties, there’s a reciprocal phenomenon where posters prohibiting People of Shenzhou from entering are blatantly displayed at Dongying stores, and similar sentiments exist in some parts of Shenzhou, which is not surprising.

Yet, dragging the entire world into it is unnecessary, especially since the sea water is beyond anyone’s control, and it might flow to Shenzhou in no time.

Using an unsuitable analogy, parents are the guardians of a child, but they can’t be fully aware of everything the child does.

Moreover, Yingdong Electric Power has more than just Jiuding as its "guardian."

Now Jiang Chen completely understands why Cao Jinse left the country so hastily and had difficulty meeting after arriving in Dongying.

As an investor, even if unaware of Yingdong Electric Power’s actions, they surely receive information earlier than the outside world.

Cao Jinse probably knew about Fukushima’s nuclear leak incident even before the rumors spread, and during this time, she must be busy dealing with the chaos.

Jiang Chen tried to put himself in Cao Jinse’s shoes, and his headache worsened instantly.

Yingdong Electric Power is now unable to withstand the pressure and finally admits its claims are only in the initial fermentation stage; subsequent public opinion and criticism will only become more stormy and fierce.

The behind-the-scenes of Yingdong Electric Power hasn’t been exposed yet, but it is only for the moment.

If the Jiuding Group’s investment in Yingdong Electric Power gets revealed...

Jiang Chen can’t even imagine the scenario at that time.

The involved issues are really overly complicated.

Staring blankly at the ceiling for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen finally turned his head to look out the window and discovered that his neck had stiffened.

Moreover, the sky had darkened.

He and Tanki Liuli had agreed to return by sunset.

Could Tokyo really be so prosperous that he’s lost?

Jiang Chen rubbed his neck with one hand and pulled out his phone from his pocket with the other.

The kid’s smartwatch couldn’t take photos, but it could make calls.

"Why haven’t you returned yet? Where are you?"

The call connected smoothly.

"In front of the hotel."

"..."

Jiang Chen was speechless and chuckled.

Already here, is the call necessary?

International roaming is very expensive.

"Come up first."

Before long, Tanki Liuli walked into the room safely.

"Weren’t you discovered?"

Jiang Chen asked redundantly.

"She went to a bathhouse."

Jiang Chen, whose mind was already quite chaotic, suddenly crashed.

"Where? Bathhouse?"

Tanki Liuli nodded.

Jiang Chen’s expression froze.

Wasn’t Koda Kaoru going on a date?

Movie theater.

Restaurant.

Or shopping mall.

These aren’t surprising.

But going to a bathhouse?

"Did she go with her boyfriend?"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"She went alone."

"Her boyfriend?"

"Didn’t see him."

Tanki Liuli answered every question, proving to be an impeccable employee.

Going to a bathhouse alone?

Even more incomprehensible.

Does one have to take a bath before a date?

Well.

Paying attention to one’s appearance makes sense, but can’t she bathe at home?

Her home isn’t out of town.

"So, where did she go afterwards?"

"She didn’t come out after going in."

Jiang Chen was stunned again.

He separated from the Taoist nun sister outside the Imperial Palace at around five, and now, it’s nearly seven, meaning Koda Kaoru has been at the bathhouse for almost two hours?

Even if time wasted on the road is excluded, typically rounding off to an hour, a woman bathing wouldn’t possibly last this long, right?

"Are you sure she went to a bathhouse?"

Jiang Chen truly couldn’t believe it.

"I’m sure."

Tanki Liuli responded quietly, ethereal yet firm.

"Did you go inside?"

"No."

"So how do you know it’s a bathhouse? Was the sign written in Chinese?"

Jiang Chen’s skepticism was reasonable; he wasn’t doubting the Taoist nun sister’s truthfulness, just that it lacked logical coherence.

"There were promotional images posted at the entrance."

"What images?"

"Bathtub, foam, and a woman."

"..."

Jiang Chen’s gaze became vacant, and he fell silent.

Bathtub.

Foam.

And a woman?

Although he hadn’t visited such places, he suddenly seemed to understand what kind of place this was.

Pesky bathhouse.

As expected.

The place the Taoist nun sister just visited should be Dongying’s second major attraction other than Kabuki.

The bubble bath that captivates countless male compatriots of Shenzhou!

Rumor has it that top bubble bath therapists look like celebrities.

And the highest-end bubble bath shops in Dongying are located in Tokyo Ginza.

Looking at the young Taoist nun in front of him who described a bubble bath shop as a bathhouse, Jiang Chen appeared dull and blank, yet his heart was raging.

With other women, saying it’s an innocent bath would surely seem like green tea purity behavior.

But for her...

Well.

Calling a bubble bath shop a bathhouse isn’t entirely wrong.

Isn’t it still bathing?

"Was it tiring? Are you hungry?"

Jiang Chen deliberately acted calmly.

Tanki Liuli didn’t reply.

So she must be hungry.

"How about ordering food?"

Jiang Chen suggested and then added, "I won’t eat, just order for yourself."

"Aren’t you hungry?"

Within Tanki Liuli’s eyes, a hint of genuine concern seemed to appear.

Unable to feel moved, Boss Jiang’s chest rapidly filled with embarrassment, having previously mentioned eating together upon her return.

He cleared his throat.

"I already ate."

Tanki Liuli didn’t scorn; she quietly went to order food.

Jiang Chen sat on the sofa, raised both hands to rub his neck, and the waves in his heart were unceasing.

Wasn’t Koda Kaoru supposed to be on a date?

Why did she go to a bubble bath shop?

Could it be...

Even though Jiang Chen wasn’t willing to tarnish a sacred human Soul Engineer, thoughts aren’t self-controlled.

The Japanese Imperial Family has already declined, and their pay likely doesn’t exceed industry standards significantly.

Additionally, Koda Kaoru said she owned property in Tokyo.

With her conditions, if she were working a side job, it indeed would likely make much more than her main job.
