Guo Xuyang’s words did not elicit any resentment from the others, as it was simply the truth.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Lü Liang called Guo Xuyang outside and relayed Jiang Qixin’s intentions to him.
“Yangzi, that’s what the boss meant. He wants you to make another trip.”
“Brother Liang, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but I can’t go anymore. I’m truly sorry.”
Seeing Guo Xuyang’s resolute stance, Lü Liang couldn’t force the issue and explained Jiang Qixin’s predicament.
“The boss recommended you to the higher-ups, and he’s in a very difficult position now.
If your performance last time hadn’t been so astonishing, it would have been fine.
But you saved the entire team single-handedly, so they don’t want to let you go.
They can’t control you, but it’s very disadvantageous for the boss.”
Guo Xuyang pondered for a moment and asked, “If I can’t participate in that operation, would it alleviate some of President Jiang’s trouble if I provided compensation from other avenues?”
“I don’t quite understand what you mean,” Lü Liang replied.
“What I mean is, I might venture out on my own, severing ties with the organization, to maximize my benefits.
The things I require now cannot be met by my current income.”
“Your current income is something I can’t catch up to in my lifetime, yet it’s still not enough for your needs. What do you need so much money for?”
“It’s hard to explain. You just need to know the situation.
It’s not that I don’t support President Jiang’s work, but I have my reasons.
Brother Liang, please don’t get involved in this. I’ll speak with President Jiang myself when I return.”
Seeing Guo Xuyang’s determination, Lü Liang had no choice but to drop the matter.
The two returned to the room, and Lü Liang subtly shook his head at Jiang Qixin.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qixin didn’t press the issue further.
Things are determined by people; if Guo Xuyang truly refused to participate, there was nothing they could do.
Even if they tied him up and dragged him there, he would be useless if he refused to help.
Having come to terms with this, Jiang Qixin no longer felt troubled.
“Yangzi, if you plan to use a private jet from the capital to pick up Xiaoxi, you’ll likely need to report it in advance.
Otherwise, it won’t be cleared for takeoff,” Jiang Qixin said.
“I’ll have to ask for your help with this, President Jiang. I’m completely clueless about such matters.”
“Are you referring to renting a private jet? If it’s a rental, the charter company can handle the arrangements.
They can directly pick up the passenger, and I won’t need to be involved.”
“I don’t own a private jet; I plan to rent one.”
“That makes it much easier. Inform them of the rental date, and they’ll take care of everything. You won’t have to worry about it.”
“Alright. It’s best to leave professional matters to professionals.
Speaking of which, should we entrust all the wedding arrangements and etiquette to the wedding company? I just need to pick up Xiaoxi then.”
“How can that be? Let my team handle it. I really don’t trust other wedding companies,” Li Minxi said from the side.
“Isn’t this to avoid tiring you out? Your current condition isn’t ideal.”
“It’s only been a few months. I’m fine, and besides, not everything requires my personal involvement; the team will be there.”
“Very well. As long as you don’t mind the exertion. You and your team can handle this.”
“Who are you planning to invite? My bridesmaids will all be there, as well as some business partners.”
“Your business partners aren’t those big stars, are they?” Guo Xuyang asked.
“Clever. Yes, it’s them. They’ll all come to support me.”
“If that’s the case, we’ll need to increase the security.
Especially for the villa on the west side, that area will be strictly closed off, and security will be doubled.
The power of fans should not be underestimated.”
“It’s not that exaggerated. It’s my wedding day, and they absolutely won’t be allowed to steal my thunder.”
“Then you should invite fewer of them. This is truly unpredictable.
Moreover, your condition doesn’t allow for so many people to be present. What if you get bumped into, it wouldn’t be good.”
“Let’s invite a few male celebrities. I’m afraid the women will overshadow me.
They’re all like fairies, and if one of them snatches you away, I’ll be at a disadvantage.”
“It’s best if none of them come. That way, we’ll have less to worry about.”
“Impossible. If the boss gets married and they don’t show up, do they still want to work?” Li Minxi said proudly.
“As you wish. We’ll just increase the security here. Should we prepare rooms for them in advance?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. Let them figure it out themselves.”
“That doesn’t seem right. After all, they’re guests from afar; this isn’t proper hospitality.”
“You don’t need to ask about this. Would you need to book hotels for your subordinates when they visit? It’s unnecessary.”
“Alright then. You’re the boss.”
After the meal, the major intentions were largely settled.
After everyone dispersed, Guo Xuyang invited Jiang Qixin to the study.
“President Jiang, Brother Liang has told me about it. I truly have my difficulties with this matter.
However, I have a more practical solution. I wonder if you’d find it acceptable?”
“Tell me what it is.”
“I want to undertake this task myself. I can bring back some collected items from outside for you.
However, only a limited number of people can know about this, and no one else.
I cannot guarantee the specific items at this moment.”
Jiang Qixin was stunned by Guo Xuyang’s words.
This sounded like an audacious endeavor.
“You mean you’ll go there?” Jiang Qixin asked, pointing upwards.
“Yes. There are certain things I cannot explain to you.
I’ve encountered a bottleneck, and every step requires immense financial support.
What I earn here is no longer sufficient for my needs, so I must venture out.
You can decide the price for the collected items.
I’m stating my price clearly; if it’s not to my satisfaction, I won’t give them to you.”
“Alright. As long as there’s a price, it’s negotiable. How will you ascend?” Jiang Qixin asked the most crucial question.
“I have my own way. When I went to America before, I salvaged a flying device, and it’s still functional.”
“How about this? You still go out with the team, but you can act independently once you’re out there. Would that work?”
“No. The fewer people who know about this, the better.
In the future, I will deliver items from above directly into your hands. I will not deal with anyone else.”
Jiang Qixin understood that Guo Xuyang was doing him a favor, which would strengthen his influence with his superiors.
“Thank you, my friend. When do you plan to leave?”
“I’m not sure yet. I’ll leave when the opportunity arises.” Guo Xuyang wasn’t telling Jiang Qixin the whole truth.
He intended to go out for a reconnaissance tonight.
Before leaving, he wanted to reassure these women. He would be fighting alone from now on, and if anything unfortunate were to happen to him, these women would suffer.
