I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 964 - Premiere

Chapter 964 Premiere

Headquartered in Nagoya in the central part of Nippon, Central Power provided electricity to approximately 16.6 million people in five counties in the central region. It was the third largest power company in Nippon and was controlled by Sumitomo Foundation.

In fact, in addition to Central Power, Jiang Chen had a better choice-Yoto Power. However, due to the aftereffects of the nuclear accident, Yoto Power had yet to solve the problem of compensation and aftermath. Moreover, the company’s financial situation was far from ideal with a risk of bankruptcy. With these reasons combined, Jiang Chen finally decided on Central Power as his partner.

In a high-end business bar in s.h.i.+njuku, a black car stopped at the door.

Although most bars didn’t open at this time, this bar was special. Even early in the morning, it was open; it was just that it didn’t provide bartending services.

Jiang Chen stepped into the bar.

The two bodyguards escorted him on the left and right. Since he was handsome and combined with the fact that he wore an expensive suit and sleek sungla.s.ses, he had yet to step into the bar before he drew countless gazes.

The server rushed forward and asked weakly, “h.e.l.lo, please show your members.h.i.+p card…”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He couldn’t understand the language.

The bodyguard standing on the side immediately leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Seeing as Jiang Chen didn’t respond, the server was somewhat at a loss.

Just then, Jiang Chen heard fluent Mandarin from the bar.

“Mr. Jiang is my guest. How dare you stop him at the door?”

This sentence was obviously for Jiang Chen because the server cearly didn’t understand.

A young man walked out of the bar. He was also in a suit. His proper appearance could be considered handsome, but he was half a head shorter than Jiang Chen. He first lectured the server with a few words then put on a smile and greeted Jiang Chen.

“The hospitality here isn’t good. I hope Mr. Jiang can forgive me.”

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

“No worries. Come to speak of it, Mr. Sumitomo arrived first?”.

“Allow me to be honest. This business bar is one of Sumitomo’s a.s.sets. When Mr. Jiang called, we were negotiating with Yoto Power.” Sumitomo gestured at the bar. “Please come inside.”

Jiang Chen followed him in. “Oh? If you don’t mind me asking, what business is it?”

“About the merger and acquisition of the power management rights of a city in the county.”

When Sumitomo said that, he was quite confident, so Jiang Chen, who was walking next to him, actually eyed him for a few seconds.

Showing the strength of one’s own side without any traces, it seemed that the intelligence of Sumitomo Foundation was certainly quite informed, and they already knew the topic of today’s negotiation.

From the layout of the bar, this so-called high-end business bar didn’t have the blinding lights and loud music of other bars. The lighting in the lobby was soft and the decor was elegant with a Western design and a touch of traditional style.

Most people who drank there were in business formal attire.

A beautiful waiter took the two to the lounge deep in the bar and respectfully opened the door for the duo.

However, before entering, Sumitomo stopped Jiang Chen and turned to look at him.

“Do you need to take a bath first?”

Jiang Chen paused for a moment then smiled and shook his head. “No, I have a date tonight.”

There was only one possibility to take a bath here.

If he had time, he wouldn’t mind experiencing their “unique” culture, but since he still needed to attend Liu Yao’s premiere, the timing wouldn’t necessarily work out.

Sumitomo squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Chen with an expression that all men would understand, but he obviously misinterpreted.

“That’s really a pity. Since Mr. Jiang has other arrangements this evening, I can only treat you next time.”

Turning around, Sumitomo winked at the waiter, indicating that she could leave for now. He then smiled and looked at Jiang Chen to invite him into the room.

“Please come in.”

Jiang Chen gestured to the bodyguards to stay at the door then he stepped into the private room.

At s.h.i.+njuku Piccadilly Cinema, as the first sci-fi masterpiece to go abroad, the premiere of “The Three-Body Problem” was quite grand. Backed by the rich and powerful Future Technology, the crew’s budget was more than sufficient. They directly rented out the entrance of Piccadilly Cinema and the most high-end first auditorium.

The premiere was at eight o’clock, but it was just a little after six when the press were already gathered at the entrance as well as special guests, film critics, and fans who received premiere tickets through various channels.

The process of walking the red carpet had yet to begin, but the flash of cameras already colored the night.

For this sci-fi movie from Hua, Nippon sci-fi fans were more surprised than looking forward to it. As early as the release of this film in Hua, trailers and low-pixel versions of the movie had already flowed to other countries.

The special effects technology of Hua was only mediocre at best. In many people’s minds, they acquiesced this fact.

And it was precisely because of this that Nippon fans were so surprised since what they saw from the trailer made it completely unimaginable that the film was produced from the hands of Hua filmmakers; it was more likely made from Hollywood studios from across the Pacific.

While interviewing the crew, the reporters didn’t ignore the audience.

“I hope it lives up to my expectations. It’s my first time attending a premiere.”

“Hua has science fiction films? Ha, unbelievable! I must debunk their lies in person…”

“I read that novel. It seems to be good, but I doubt it… I’ve never heard of this producer. Do they have the ability to put this film on the screen? In my honest opinion, even if it was a Hollywood filmmaker, it’s hard to restore some of the details from the book.”

“The trailer was good. I hope the movie is the same.”

“Shao Feng is so handsome!”

“Liu Yao is so beautiful! Is there a poster of her? Do they sell these at the premiere? Or can they only be bought on Amazon? But it’s too late-I want her signature!”

On the other hand, Liu Yao, who was already wearing her evening gown, stood in front of the media camera with a smile, ready to be interviewed. Unlike her cute appearance when she was around Jiang Chen, she was graceful and elegant, quite a G.o.ddess.

Chen Yuqing already made arrangements for what questions could be answered, and what questions should be answered in advance. Although the questions were fired at her like cannonb.a.l.l.s, she still responded calmly and comfortably.

However, as time gradually approached eight o’clock, a hint of anxiety was starting to show, and her gorgeous eyes drifted to the entrance of the theater from time to time.

After she finally got rid of the media, Liu Yao returned to the dressing room, weary and exhausted. She still had to walk the red carpet, and she fixed up her makeup. The makeup artist had already been waiting for a long time. Almost as soon as she sat down, she grabbed the brush and foundation and began to work her magic.

Sitting there completely motionless and letting the makeup artist transform her face and hair, she looked at herself in the mirror and squeezed out a beautiful smile.

“Are you ready? My Majesty the Queen.” Chen Yuqing, standing next to her, joked.

Liu Yao smiled and hit her best friend jokingly. “Be careful, the Queen will hit your b.u.t.t.”

After fooling around for a while, Liu Yao got in front of the mirror and carefully checked to see if there were any blemishes. Chen Yuqing stood behind her, coughed, and reminded her, “It’s time to take the red carpet.”

“Okay.”

With a smile, Liu Yao was full of confidence.

It was her first time appearing as the leading actress and walking the red carpet abroad.

However, there was a commotion coming from outside…
