Chapter 1463: 987 The Imperial Court
A late-night snack didn’t yield any rewards; instead, it made the specially assigned guide disappear.
No good deed goes unpunished, but Boss Jiang was broad-minded and didn’t mind much. He didn’t bother to argue with anyone. After all, he had been here for a few days and had gained a preliminary understanding of Dongying’s local customs and practices, so having a guide was no longer important.
He didn’t bother CEO Cao either, as CEO Cao hadn’t shown up these past few days. Boss Jiang didn’t stay cooped up in the hotel, anxious and self-pitying. He cherished the ti and took the opportunity to madly boost his intimacy with the Taoist nun sister, taking her to tour the streets and alleys of Tokyo, until an explosive piece of news struck like thunder on a clear day, shaking the whole of Dongying and even the entire world.
It wasn’t that Mount Fuji finally erupted.
Mount Fuji’s eruption would only affect the Dongying people, and its impact would not likely stir such massive waves worldwide.
What caused global panic was dia revelations of a serious nuclear leak accident at a certain electric power company in Dongying.
How serious was this matter?
Even the always broad-minded Li Shuru made a phone call.
Before, when Jiang Chen was out hustling, she never worried.
“All the salt in the supermarkets has been snatched up, and so flights to Dongying have started to be canceled. Should you co back first?”
Listening to his girlfriend’s words, Jiang Chen was a bit bemused, “Whatever disaster happens, why is it always salt that gets snatched up crazily? Can salt resist nuclear radiation?”
“Xu Siyi and the others have bought several big bags and stocked them at ho. They even reminded to buy so.”
“Don’t listen to them. Even without sea salt, the dostic salt reserves are enough for several generations to use. And if it were really that serious, what would happen to the Dongying people? Wouldn’t they all face extinction?”
“This is nuclear radiation, and you say it’s not serious?”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
It’s unrelated to whatever field one studied.
The dangers of nuclear contamination are known even to elentary school students.
“What I an is that the event has already happened, and excessive panic is useless. Think about it this way; it would take at least a year and a half for the nuclear wastewater to reach Shenzhou.”
Jiang Chen comforted his girlfriend; truly, he was an optimist.
“But you need to tell Xu Siyi and the others that it’s best not to eat seafood anymore.”
“What about you?”
“I’m not in Fukushima.”
“How big is Dongying anyway? No business is more important than health.”
The term nuclear pollution was simply too intimidating.
Jiang Chen deliberately walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of his suite and looked down.
Tokyo was still bustling with cars and people.
“I’ll see how things go first. If the situation turns bad, I’ll co back imdiately.”
“If you go back on your word, I’ll co to Dongying and bring Sister Fang Qing along.”
Jiang Chen laughed.
After ending the call with Li Shuru, Jiang Chen returned to his room and turned on the TV.
During dayti, these channels were still quite normal.
He switched through a few channels, all showing scenes of peace and tranquility, completely contrary to the public opinion dostically, as if nothing had happened at all. Only when he switched to Tokyo TV did the veil get pierced.
“This morning, facing external doubts and questions, Yingdong Electric Power Company formally admitted that the purification device of its managed first nuclear power plant malfunctioned, leaking about 30,000 tons of nuclear contaminated water containing radioactive substances…”
Keeping dostic scandals under wraps.
Controlling the dia has always been a standard thod of handling public relations crises, so the silence of other channels was not surprising.
But in reality, there’s no wall without cracks.
Tokyo TV has always been known for its daring reporting, and it lived up to its reputation.
Of course.
It might also be because this hole was simply too large to cover up.
Actually, you can’t really bla the patriotic youth dostically.
Dongying people indeed frequently redefine the lower limits of shalessness.
A purification device malfunction?
That’s pure nonsense.
Either they’re incredibly foolish, or they think the entire world is made up of gullible fools.
The ocean is a global resource, and once radioactive substances enter the sea, they will inevitably spread worldwide with the flow of water.
If Dongying were just digging its own grave, how could the people of the world mind their business? But that’s dragging everyone down with it; how can people not be infuriated?
Sitting quietly on the sofa reading, Tanki Liuli also looked up at the TV.
“Have you watched Ultraman?”
“Resident Evil?”
“World War Z?”
Alright.
Viewing ti still needs to be accumulated.
“If there appeared octopuses that can shoot lasers, or crabs with claws thicker than a person’s arm, could you handle it?”
While watching the TV, Jiang Chen asked, maintaining a quite serious expression.
Of course.
This was just a joke.
But the disaster of a “nuclear leak” is definitely not sothing a joke can describe.
The first to suffer is undoubtedly Fukushima, where the nuclear power plant is located.
As the source, let alone other countries, even other regions in Dongying avoid Fukushima like the plague. Though forced to admit it, Yingdong Electric Power Company had to concede, but rumors about the nuclear leak had already started spreading through various channels.
Even before today, so countries had already preemptively taken ergency asures, suspending the import of Dongying’s seafood, and after today, more countries will surely follow suit quickly.
And the people surrounded by nuclear radiation in Fukushima, those who can escape are definitely trying to escape; those who can’t, might only be able to pray for the protection of their Amaterasu.
Currently, undoubtedly, the ones suffering the most are the fishern living in Fukushima.
The seawater is polluted, the seafood is unsellable, which ans their livelihood is cut off.
Lobsters from the sewer might be dared to be eaten by soone, but stuff contaminated by nuclear pollution, even the braver foodies probably wouldn’t dare try it.
