I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

At first, he thought that "the other party might be trying to increase their bargaining power," and he mentally rehearsed several countermeasures, just waiting for the other party to set their conditions.

But the other party quickly left the scene after that, leaving not even a piece of paper behind, shattering his last illusions.

But such a big thing, just canceling it like that, and all the agreements we made before are void, what kind of nonsense is this!

After much thought, the only explanation is—

He, Shinjiro, was tricked.

Shinjiro clenched his teeth, his lips curled upwards, baring his upper teeth like a fierce dog, and said to Asai Miko:

"Can't you see that we've been tricked?"

Asai Miko slightly opened her mouth, revealing her white teeth, and widened her eyes, saying:

"You think I tricked you? Wasn't it because you got carried away? Didn't you molest other female employees?"

Faced with Miko's questioning, Shinjiro was speechless.

"I've said it countless times, your weakness is that you're too arrogant and lustful. You clearly have very little masculinity left, yet you have an unusually strong possessive desire for women. It was only a matter of time before you made the mistake you have today!"

She straightened her posture triumphantly, looked down at Shinjiro, and slowly said:

"Shinjiro, you must take responsibility for this failure."

Asai Miko, the current wife of Asai Matsuya, the second-generation leader of the Triangle Group.

38 years old, no children, used to be a gravure model, joined the Triangle Group because of her father, and then became Matsuya Asai's secretary.

Then, she became the first wife of the Asai family.

But for someone like Shinjiro, who rose to the position of son-in-law and adopted son through his own abilities, she was like a monkey wearing a crown.

This ignorant woman will be trampled underfoot sooner or later...

A glint flashed in Shinjiro's eyes as he glared at the alluring woman before him and said:

"Is this all part of your conspiracy? Could it be that you invited Beichen?"

Asai Miko smiled disdainfully, her body swaying like a willow branch, and said:

"Are you already furious because of the failure? Think about it carefully. Do you think I could get Beichen to put on this show and come all the way here just to humiliate you? Don't dream about it."

The beast-like look in Shinjiro's eyes had not yet faded, and he was still staring at the woman warily.

"But they came all this way only to humiliate me. Do they have some other purpose?"

The woman sighed.

She knew he wouldn't admit defeat so easily, so she threw another newspaper in front of him.

"Take a look for yourself. Hokushin Motors also participated in the recent Tokyo Motor Show."

After a pause, the woman continued, "Shinjiro, you're too arrogant. Do you really think we're the only option for Hokushin? I hope you can go to the auto show yourself. If that can wake you up from your dream sooner..."

Shinjiro reached out and grabbed the newspaper, squeezing it into a paper stick in his hand.

“I will go, but I cannot accept the outcome of this negotiation…”

He shifted his gaze to the other side and said, "I cannot give up my position as executive director because of something with such an ambiguous truth."

At the edge of his vision, a small, white foot, wrapped in a pearl shoelace, emerged from the dimly lit area.

The deep blue dress, reflecting the light, gently draped over the straight calves, running up the smooth instep and clean ankle.

The owner of these legs was lounging lazily on the sofa, like a cat, stretching out her slender, soft white hands.

"You don't have any objections, do you?"

"No objection? What objection could I possibly have?" Ruriko said casually, sitting on the sofa. "The dignified CEO of the Triangle Group, Shinjiro, can say whatever he wants. How could he possibly step down just because he can't do something?"

Even a deaf person could sense Ruriko's sarcasm. Shinjiro stood up: "You?!"

Asai Miko blocked his way and said, "Ruriko is right this time. You resigned after the previous failure, but that's what you said yourself."

Asai Shinjiro frowned impatiently and said, "But, as I said, the truth of this matter is ambiguous and difficult to ascertain..."

"By the time you've investigated, who knows who will win the dealership rights for Beichen at this auto show?"

Ruriko stood up, her long skirt cascading down her legs like a waterfall: "Have you already figured out how to strike back?"

Shinjiro's face twitched for a moment.

“I’m going to the auto show too,” Ruriko said. “I want to meet them. What kind of person are they? What do they want to do in Japan?”

Despite feeling a vague unease, Shinjiro nodded.

After all, the other party didn't push their luck or make any excessive demands.

Of course, even if he had two more brains, he would never have imagined that the man who kidnapped Asai Ruriko back then was the CEO of Beichen.

……

"Welcome to the Beichen booth, thank you very much. Today we are showcasing our top-tier Starry Sky series V0..."

"Since last year, Beichen has braved the wave of change, overcome the most difficult challenges, and successfully entered the automotive industry. Beichen has been moving forward and has never stopped..."

"Technology has always been Beichen's belief that it can change perceptions. As of this year, Beichen's production of new energy vehicles has reached 500 million units, and its sales volume has reached second place globally..."

Shinjiro stood in the middle of a crowd, feeling a little dazed. Suddenly, everyone around him started clapping. He looked around and joined in the clapping.

Too many people.

The Tokyo Motor Show, which should have been a great platform for manufacturers to showcase the rich heritage of the Japanese automotive industry, was instead overshadowed by Hokushin Motors.

"Next, we will demonstrate the powerful stationary rotation and lateral movement modes of the Starry Sky V0..."

The test driver inside the blue car started the vehicle, and the massive body moved slowly, leaving shallow tracks on the floor with its four tires...

This car actually did a 360-degree turn on the spot.

The onlookers' expressions shifted from bewilderment to shock to excitement, like villagers who had never seen the world before and were visiting the city for the first time. They all clapped enthusiastically.

However, the more breakthroughs Hokushin's automotive technology made, the more it felt like slaps to Shinjiro's face, a resounding reminder of his failure.

He turned around, feeling rather dejected, and saw a sightseeing bus passing by. The people on the bus looked very familiar.

Shinjiro strode over.

"Isn't this Mr. Asai Shinjiro? You also have time to attend the auto show?" the person in the passenger seat of the sightseeing bus said loudly.

Shinjiro forced a smile and said, "Mr. Tsuchida, if you have time, how could I not?"

The person in the car was none other than Tsuchida Soichiro, the fourth-generation director of the Tsuchida Motors Group.

Tsuchida Motors is not only a major competitor of the Triangle Group in the automotive industry, but also currently the RB domestic brand with the largest market share in the global automotive industry.

Although the Triangle Group spans various sectors, it is still slightly inferior to Tsuchida in the automotive sector alone—perhaps by more than one level.

Tsuchida Souichirou tilted his head back, straining to gaze at the Starry Sky V0 platform inside, and sighed:

"so good."

"What do you mean?" Shinjiro asked. "Are you also interested in this foreign brand? It can only turn around on the spot, nothing special, and not very practical."

“No, I’ve already seen it once today,” Tsuchida Soichiro said. “Not only can it turn around on the spot, but it can also move laterally, cruise automatically, and travel on water… Shinjiro!”

He raised his voice, then slowly said, leaning on his cane:

"The ones we need to catch up with have now become our side!"

Shinjiro Asai: "..."

He was speechless.

Although Tsuchida wasn't involved in the previous negotiations, he still felt a cold sweat running down his back.

It was a strange feeling. Regret? Maybe it was regret.

"Mr. Tsuchida, you don't want the agency rights for Hokushin, do you?" Asai Shinjiro said deliberately. "Doing so would be detrimental to the development of our local brands!"

Tsuchida Soichiro tapped his cane and said, "What are you talking about? You're the one who negotiated with the other side and ended up making a mess of things!"

He turned to the tour bus driver and said, "Start driving!"

So he got into the car and drove off.

Asai Shinjiro stood there, feeling extremely humiliated.

He tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

He negotiated with Beichen first, thinking he had gained the upper hand, but instead it became a bargaining chip for other car companies to follow suit.

Just then, a commotion arose nearby, and someone shouted from the crowd:

"The president of Beichen is here!"

Jinjiro was startled and turned to look in the direction of the surging crowd. Sure enough, he saw Chen Ya's handsome face walking quickly toward them.

He strode forward, but was stopped by the police tape.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tsuchida Soichiro, like a lapdog, was craning his neck toward the president of Hokushin, desperately trying to learn more.

Moreover, Tsuchida is not the only one who has acted this way.

Hongtian, Xifeng Nissan, Yimu... many familiar faces from various car companies all followed the crowd toward Chen Ya.

Shinjiro was furious on the spot.

If things continue like this, and Bei Chen has more and more options under his nose, won't the negotiations become increasingly difficult?

Back then, everyone was saying they wanted to build up local brands and take RB cars to the world stage, but now they're all groveling and begging for favors!

How can you make a good RB car while surrounded by these insects?!

Shinjiro groaned angrily and was about to climb over the cordon when he suddenly saw a commotion breaking out on the other side of the crowd.

He looked in that direction and saw a line parting in the crowd, through which a beautiful figure emerged.

"President of Beichen, please wait!"

The figure shouted loudly without any shame, and the originally noisy scene was momentarily startled.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, the graceful girl slowly walked up to Chen Ya.

"Is this the first time the princess of the Triangle Group has made a public appearance since returning to the country?"

"Yes, yes, she looks even more beautiful now."

"Damn it! I wonder who will marry a woman like that!"

"How much luck would it take to marry her? I'd probably be reborn as a paramecium for the next three lifetimes."

"I'd rather have been a paramecium in my past lives..."

There were constant whispers around Shinjiro, and at that moment Ruriko walked up to Chen Ya and bowed like a real princess.

“I think you’d be willing to give me a chance, right? I’ll only take up ten minutes of your time,” Ruriko said.

The president of Beichen smiled politely and gestured, saying, "Let's talk in the back."

After saying that, the two disappeared one after the other from in front of Beichen's booth.

Chapter 464 Why are you here?

"puff……"

As soon as she and Chen Ya entered the private booth behind the exhibition stage, Liulizi covered her mouth with both hands and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Calm down, this is a semi-open space, it won't be good if we get discovered," Chen Ya reminded him.

Ruriko blushed: "I can't help it, it's too funny. Did you see the expression on Tsuchida's face?"

"Who?"

"Never mind, it's not important."

Ruriko tidied her hair, placed her hands on her lap, and sat down, regaining her ladylike demeanor.

"From today onwards, I'm afraid all car companies will assume that our two companies have reached a cooperation agreement, and they might even be discussing a shift in their strategic focus right now."

Liuli blinked, revealing a sly smile, and continued:

"You've fooled the entire Japanese auto industry, Mr. Gai. You've added another big entry to the list of Japan's enemies."

Chen Ya stopped himself on the clock and said, "There are too many people in history who have fooled the entire Japanese high command, and I am not the most heinous one. Besides, there is you as an accomplice. Even if you are written into history books in the future, you will not be the only one who is condemned."
