Shinjiro reached out and grabbed the newspaper, forming it into a paper stick in his hand.
"I will go, but I cannot accept the result of this negotiation..."
He shifted his gaze to the other side and said, "I can't give up my position as executive director just because of something like this where the truth is unclear."
At the end of his sight, a white little foot wrapped in pearl laces stretched out from the dimly lit area.
Following the smooth instep and clean ankles upwards, the dark blue long skirt reflected the light and gently covered the straight calves.
The owner of these legs was lazily lying on the sofa, flexing and stretching his slender, soft white palms like a cat.
"You have no objection?"
"I don't have any opinions. What opinions can I have?" Ruriko said nonchalantly while sitting on the sofa. "Shinjiro-sama, the executive director of Triangle Group, can say whatever he wants. How could he step down just because he can't do what he wants?"
Even a deaf person could sense Ruriko's sarcasm. Shinjiro stood up and said, "You?!"
Asai Miko stopped him and said, "Ruriko, what you said this time makes sense. You said you would resign after failing before, but you said it yourself."
Asai Shinjiro frowned impatiently and said, "But, as I said, the truth of this matter is ambiguous..."
"Once you've thoroughly investigated, who will be the agent for Beichen at this auto show?"
Liulizi stood up, her long skirt cascading down her legs like a waterfall. "Have you figured out how to strike back?"
Shinjiro's face twitched for a moment.
"I'm going to the auto show, too," Ruriko said. "I'm going to meet him and find out what he's like and what he wants to do in Japan."
Shinjiro nodded despite feeling a little uneasy.
After all, the other party did not push the envelope or make excessive demands.
Of course, even if he had two more brains, he would not have thought that the man who kidnapped Asai Ruriko that year was the boss of Beichen.
…
"Welcome to the Beichen booth, thank you very much. This time we are showcasing our top-of-the-line Starry Sky Series V0...
"Since last year, Beichen has challenged 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 in changing cognition. As of this year, Beichen's production of new energy vehicles has reached 5 million, and its sales volume has ranked second in the world..."
Shinjiro was standing in a crowd, his mind a little dazed. Suddenly, everyone around him started clapping. He looked around and started clapping too.
There are too many people.
The Tokyo Motor Show was a platform for major manufacturers to showcase the profound heritage of the Japanese automotive industry, but in the end, the limelight was stolen by Beichen.
"Then, let's demonstrate Starry Sky V0's powerful on-the-spot rotation and lateral movement modes..."
The test driver in the blue car started the vehicle, and the huge body slowly moved, leaving shallow marks on the ground with the four tires...
The car actually turned 360 degrees on the spot.
The expressions on the faces of the onlookers changed from confusion to shock and then to excitement, as if they were villagers who had never seen the world and were visiting the city for the first time. They all applauded loudly.
However, the more breakthroughs Beichen's automobile technology makes, the more it is like a slap in the face, loudly slapping Jinjiro in the face, reminding him of his failure.
He looked back, feeling rather downcast, and saw a sightseeing bus passing by. The people on the bus looked particularly familiar.
Shinjiro strode over.
"Isn't this Mr. Shinjiro Asai? Are you free to attend the auto show too?" The person in the passenger seat of the sightseeing bus shouted.
Shinjiro forced a smile and said, "Mr. Tsuchida, if you're free, how could I not be free?"
The person in the car was none other than the fourth-generation director of the Tsuchida Motors Group, Soichiro Tsuchida.
Tsuchida Motors is not only the main competitor of Triangle Group in the automotive industry, but also the Japanese domestic brand with the largest share in the global automotive industry.
Although Triangle Group spans various sectors, when it comes to the automobile sector, it is still slightly inferior to Tsuchida - perhaps more than a little.
Tsuchida Soichiro raised his head, straining to peer into the distance at the Starry Sky V0 platform, and sighed:
“That’s great.”
"What do you mean?" Shinjiro asked. "Are you interested in this foreign brand, too? It's just a thing that can turn around on the spot. It's nothing special and not very practical."
"No, I've already seen it today," said Soichiro Tsuchida. "Not only can it turn around on the spot, but it can also move sideways, cruise automatically, and drive on water... Shinjiro!"
He raised his voice, then leaned on the cane in his hand and said slowly:
"We are the ones who need to catch up!"
Shinjiro Asai: "..."
He was speechless.
Although Tsuchida was not involved in the previous negotiation, he still felt cold sweat on his back.
It was an unfamiliar feeling. Regret? Regret, perhaps.
"Mr. Tsuchida, you don't want the agency rights for Beichen, do you?" Asai Shinjiro said deliberately, "Doing so will be detrimental to the development of our local brand!"
Tsuchida Soichiro paused with his cane and said, "What are you talking about? You were the one who negotiated with the other party, but ended up making things awkward, right?"
He turned to the driver of the sightseeing bus and said, "Drive!"
So he got in the car and drove away.
Shinjiro Asai stood there, feeling extremely humiliated.
