Chapter 3306: Truth Lies in the Hands of the Few

~6 min read 1,169 words

Originally, Mitsui Yoshitaka had repeatedly and warmly invited Fei Kexin to attend this party, but each time she politely declined.

In the end, Fei Kexin arranged for Carrie to attend on her behalf, and Mitsui Yoshitaka realized her attitude was firm, so he could only let it go.

But he never expected that the party had already started, and Fei Kexin would suddenly want to come—this was truly a huge surprise.

So he no longer bothered to smooth things over for Tawana, and immediately announced this good news.

When everyone heard that the renowned Fei Kexin would also be coming to the party venue, the atmosphere, which had just been made somewhat awkward by Tawana, instantly became lively.

Seeing that everyone seemed indifferent to her earlier impassioned speech, Tawana couldn't help but feel a mix of anger and disappointment welling up inside.

She looked at the Japanese people whispering nearby and couldn't help but ask herself inwardly: "Why are these people so cold? Why don't they care about the minority groups that need attention?"

At that moment, Mitsui Yoshitaka turned to the side, lowered his voice, and asked his assistant: "Do you know why Miss Fei changed her mind?"

The assistant quickly replied: "Miss Fei's assistant said on the phone that her two close friends are at our party venue, and she wants to come over to meet them."

"Miss Fei's close friends?" Mitsui Yoshitaka urgently asked: "Do you know who they are?"

The assistant shook his head: "Not yet clear, but I've already sent someone to find out."

"Good." Mitsui Yoshitaka urged: "Hurry up! The sooner, the better!"

Tawana never expected that, because Fei Kexin was suddenly coming, Mitsui Yoshitaka no longer had the energy to pay attention to her, and others seemed to have started whispering about Fei Kexin, almost treating her on stage as if she were invisible.

Seeing this, the angry Tawana walked straight down from the small stage and returned to her boyfriend's side. Noticing her bad mood, he spoke to comfort her: "It's okay, sweetheart. Don't bother trying to make these Japanese people understand your greatness, or even try to make them understand true equality—they simply can't. Don't forget, they're still hunting dolphins and whales to this day."

Tawana gripped her boyfriend Trevor's hand tightly and whispered: "Trevor, I truly didn't expect that woman's chances were clearly high, and I have so many passionate fans who love and follow me—they would surely vote for her too, yet she still lost..."

Trevor spread his hands helplessly and said: "Most Americans aren't elites; they might be like the Japanese, still not at that level to understand your thoughts. As the saying goes, truth is always in the hands of the few."

Upon hearing her boyfriend say this, Tawana felt much relieved. For a long time, she had spared no effort in promoting the candidate she supported, not only wildly cheering for her at concerts but also frequently writing long posts on social media to try to convince all her followers.

In her view, she had hundreds of millions of fans, with tens of millions in the U. S. alone. If even half could be moved by her, that woman would surely win, so she once thought her bet was absolutely flawless—and that she would become that woman's patron, directly helping her mount the horse and reach the supreme position.

But who could have imagined that reality would be so cruel? Even with her tireless efforts to support her, she still couldn't help her win the election.

This not only left her feeling deeply disappointed but also plunged her into a vortex of self-doubt.

At that moment, Mitsui Yoshitaka's assistant came over again and whispered in his ear: "Sir, I've already found out—Miss Fei's two close friends were invited by the eldest daughter of the Sasaki family, Sasaki Sachiko."

"The Sasaki family?" Mitsui Yoshitaka felt a jolt of surprise. He knew the Sasaki family's strength well—they were merely small fry relying on the Mitsui family to survive. How could such small fry know Fei Kexin's close friends?

The assistant also knew Mitsui Yoshitaka was puzzled, so he whispered: "Carrie West is currently with them."

Mitsui Yoshitaka quickly glanced around and immediately spotted, in the corner, Mitsui Yoshitaka chatting with several East Asians.

So he immediately told his assistant: "Come on, let's go over together."

After saying that, he had already stepped forward toward Carrie and Ye Chen and the others.

Upon hearing that Fei Kexin was coming, Xiao Churan was naturally both surprised and delighted. She asked Carrie: "Miss Fei wasn't she said she wasn't coming?"

Carrie deliberately glanced at Ye Chen, saw his expression hadn't changed, and then apologetically said: "Sorry, Churan. I just saw you two were a bit excited, so I instinctively shared the news with Miss Fei. She was also very happy, and since she indeed missed you, she wanted to rush over to see you and Mr. Ye."

Xiao Churan smiled: "It's fine. I was just worried about disturbing her work; otherwise, I would have contacted her myself."

At this point, Mitsui Yoshitaka had already arrived beside Ye Chen with his assistant, smiling as he asked Carrie: "Miss West, are these two your good friends? May I know how to address them?"

Carrie smiled: "Mr. Mitsui, these two are not just my good friends—they are also Miss Fei's good friends. Did you hear the news that Miss Fei is coming over soon?"

"I already know!" Mitsui Yoshitaka smiled: "I came over precisely to get to know these two distinguished guests in advance."

After saying that, he turned to Ye Chen, extended his hand politely, and said: "Hello, sir. I'm Mitsui Yoshitaka, the current head of the Mitsui family. May I ask how you'd like to be addressed?"

Ye Chen smiled: "My surname is Ye. You can call me Mr. Ye. The lady beside me is my wife."

Mitsui Yoshitaka nodded repeatedly and said: "Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, why don't you move to the central area? I'll introduce some friends for you to meet."

As he spoke, fearing Ye Chen might refuse, he added: "The central area lets you get close to Tawana Svet, even chat with her a few words, and there's a chance to take photos and get autographs. If you're interested, you can go over and casually talk with her—later, asking for a signature would be a natural next step."

Xiao Churan was visibly tempted. Although she knew Ye Chen was just using Fei Kexin's name to bluff and intimidate, the chance to get close to Tawana, even take a photo together, was indeed rare. Missing this opportunity might mean losing it forever.

So she turned to look at Ye Chen, wanting to see how he would decide.

Ye Chen had no interest in Tawana, who constantly sought opportunities to voice her opinions, but seeing Xiao Churan's eyes reveal an unmistakable longing, he immediately said to Mitsui Yoshitaka: "In that case, please trouble Mr. Mitsui to help introduce us."
