lingua franca in Asia

Hi everyone! :D I would like to ask you what is the most common lingua franca, after English, in Asia. It could be Chinese or definitely not?  

I've done this question because I'm thinking to move for work, as a cosmetic chemist, in China or in Japan after my MSc.

I've just started learning Chinese so I would like to figured out  if it is a good idea , related to my goal, or it could be a better idea to start learning Japanese... so maybe the question could be: is it common speak in Chinese in Japan? Is it required to find a job?

Let me know! Thanks a lot <3

In Vietnam, the most common language is English definitely. The second common is probably French. Sometimes, people might think that would be Japanese instead French. But these two dont make any huge difference, I suppose so

English. English is an official language in the Philippines, Singapore, and India though hong kong, malaysia, and indonesia have a good number of speakers too. There's great effort to learn mandarin in japan, korea, and SEA for business purposes but it's nowhere near a continental lingua franca.
