Chapter 1550: Chapter 1043: Perfect (Part 2)
When they arrived at the main gate of the Imperial Palace, the two stopped.
Originally, the surrounding square, which could be freely accessed, was now guarded by soldiers.
“Why the lockdown?”
Jiang Chen rembered that when he ca, there was no such scene. It seems that even though Yingdong Electric Power spared no effort in spreading propaganda, which led so Dongying people to change their stance, there was still a considerable number who stubbornly insisted on seeing their Emperor to file complaints.
Perhaps because their voices were too loud and disruptive, the Imperial Family felt disturbed, hence the forced control asures.
“Let’s go back.”
Fang Qing wiped the sweat off.
“Mm.”
While Jiang Chen and Fang Qing left after their morning exercise, inside the Imperial Palace, Prince Wataru Tetsuya was accompanying a distinguished guest for a walk.
“My younger sister declined His Highness’s invitation because she is at ho accompanying our mother; I ask for His Highness’s understanding.”
Compared to Wataru Tetsuya, this guest’s appearance was undeniably more exceptional. Just his height alone was nearly a head taller than Wataru Tetsuya, so even in the Imperial Palace, despite being on his ho ground, Prince Wataru Tetsuya’s aura was completely suppressed.
“Filial piety is the foremost virtue. Miss Fujiwara is not only talented but also so filial; I have nothing but admiration for Miss Fujiwara.”
Hearing such praise of his sister by the Imperial Family, as an elder brother, Fujiwara Takuya bead with pride and nodded with a smile, “Who could disagree? My sister is indeed impeccable in every way, the only regret being that she is not male.”
“It is all the arrangent of the gods. The arrangent of the gods is always the best arrangent.”
Wataru Tetsuya said naturally.
Without a doubt,
this was a complete flattery, only delivered flawlessly, without any blemish.
As part of the Imperial Family, how could he not understand the power struggles and deceit among the aristocratic families?
If Fujiwara Reiki were indeed male, then the Fujiwara Family would probably have a lot of unrest rather than being so leisurely as they are now.
Of course, Fujiwara Takuya understood the flattery, and his smile beca even more radiant, “His Highness is right. If she were male, my sister would undoubtedly have a harder ti.”
The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. During their walk, they happened to encounter Princess i Yi on her way to class.
“Your Highness, the Princess.”
Fujiwara Takuya greeted politely.
“Mr. Fujiwara.”
The little princess was still as polite and mature as ever.
Of course, there wouldn’t be much exchange. After greeting each other, they passed by.
Princess i Yi left with her maid.
“I heard that Princess i Yi has an excellent Chinese teacher?”
Fujiwara Takuya asked casually.
Yet what seed like a simple question revealed extraordinary information.
Even the little princess’s teacher was known.
Just how much did he know about the happenings within the Imperial Palace?
If this were in an ancient dynasty of Shenzhou, the Imperial Family would surely have been furious, perhaps charging him with treason and exterminating his whole clan. However, Wataru Tetsuya seed totally unaware, responding with a calm nod, “Yes, a brilliant student from Tokyo University, currently on leave.”
“Actually, my sister is also quite proficient in Chinese.”
“Is that so? Miss Fujiwara is indeed very learned.”
Fujiwara Takuya smiled deeply.
Such a pitiable Prince His Highness.
Just like that little princess earlier.
No matter how magnificent this Imperial Palace may be, it is rely a bird in a cage.
“Did my sister ntion anything about Yingdong Electric Power to His Highness?”
Fujiwara Takuya changed the topic.
Almost without a mont’s thought, Wataru Tetsuya nodded, “She did ntion it.”
Moreover, he candidly confessed, “Miss Fujiwara seems to disapprove of Yingdong Electric Power’s actions of discharging sewage into the sea.”
“And what does His Highness think?”
Fujiwara Takuya inquired with interest.
Wataru Tetsuya, of course, couldn’t take the bait, “I support the choices of the country and its people.”
Unassailable.
But who represents the country?
Who represents the people?
“Including my sister, there is a portion of citizens who do not fully understand, but there are so matters that cannot be explained on television news. To my knowledge, the Jiuding Group is already considering mortgaging its assets in Dongying.”
“Is that so.”
Wataru Tetsuya was surprised, then delighted, “This is truly wonderful news.”
Fujiwara Takuya nodded with a smile, “Indeed, the people of Shenzhou have worked hard in Dongying for so many years, only to end up working for us.”
From start to finish, Wataru Tetsuya rely listened or echoed, never unnecessarily.
Sotis, intelligence doesn’t necessarily manifest in words; understanding when to remain silent is also a form of wisdom.
“Your Highness, when my sister has finished accompanying our mother, I will remind her to contact you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara. Take care, Mr. Fujiwara.”
As he turned around and walked out of the Imperial Palace, Fujiwara Takuya’s smile remained unchanged, but the hint of mockery and contempt could no longer be hidden.
In this world, the one thing there’s never a shortage of is clever people.
What’s the use of a little cleverness?
Even now, they haven’t even seen through the simple sleight of hand.
Laughable, yet pitiful.
He exited through the side door, and the bodyguard bowed to open the car door.
Fujiwara Takuya bent down and got into the car, glanced at his watch, and waited quietly.
About five minutes.
A motorcade approached from the opposite direction and stopped nearby.
From one of the cars, a person got down, short in stature but exuding a strong official aura.
He switched over to Fujiwara Takuya’s car.
“Mr. Fujiwara.”
“Branch Manager Okamoto, is it true that Jiuding Group is planning to mortgage its assets?”
“It’s true, Jiuding Group has already approached us for a valuation.”
“How much do they intend to offer?”
“50%. Mr. Fujiwara, if Jiuding Group is indeed willing to mortgage, we have already gained a huge advantage.”
Fujiwara Takuya nodded, seemingly deep in thought.
“It’s just Feng Shi over there…”
“No issue with Feng Shi. If we get these assets, we can still resell them to Feng Shi, and this way, the favor falls into our hands.” As he spoke, Fujiwara Takuya slightly frowned, “But is Feng Shi really that demanding? Unwilling to offer even 50%?”
Indeed.
If Cynthia offers a price higher than 50%, Jiuding Group is unlikely to choose them.
“Branch Manager Okamoto, let’s not waste your ti. As long as Jiuding Group is willing to sell, we’ll take it all.”
The other person got out of the car.
The motorcade beside them drove away.
Fujiwara Takuya sat in the car, a smile involuntarily spreading across his lips.
In this current situation, to him, things were almost perfect.
Originally, he just intended to do a favor conveniently, but if Jiuding Group really delivered these assets to their hands…
Of course.
The things Feng Shi wants, they can’t possibly keep all to themselves, but this favor might just turn into a great one, and they might even negotiate a price with Feng Shi, making a considerable profit.
Besides.
There was another thing worth being happy about.
Fujiwara Takuya looked out towards the Imperial Palace.
Little sister’s tricks might just help him out.
Anyway, the poor and pitiful Prince His Highness doesn’t even know his sister, so why not simply arrange a maid?
Wouldn’t that be exactly what his sister wished for? There’s no need to suffer or compromise.
Moreover.
The whole family seems like they could forever be together.
In Shenzhou, what do they call this?
Substituting the Crown Prince with a cat?
Thinking of this, Fujiwara Takuya felt almost so comfortable he nearly let out a moan, squinting his eyes uncontrollably.
“Drive.”
He instructed the driver, wanting to go ho.
The sedan started, leaving the Imperial Palace, with cars hidden in the traffic before and after as protection.
Unlike so high officials, he doesn’t like making a grand show.
The Imperial Palace grew faint in the rear-view mirror, and just as it completely disappeared, the phone rang.
“Young Master.”
“Speak.”
Fujiwara Takuya drawled lazily.
“Miss has gone out.”
Fujiwara Takuya’s expression slightly changed, “How did she go out?”
“Miss went to see Lady this morning.”
Alright.
My sister.
You finally lowered your proud head.
So when will you lower it in front of ?
Fujiwara Takuya exhaled heavily, for so reason adjusting his sitting posture.
“I know.”
