Chapter 951 You Pay Your Own Share
Xiao Shiqiu replied calmly: "Lao Wen, this is Boris' style.
He believes that "even a lion will fight a rabbit with all its might", especially when the mission involves the safety of hostages. He would rather invest twice as much effort to minimize the risk than let the team members and the hostages gamble on the survival rate in order to save money.
He assessed that with fewer than 80 people, the risk of mission failure or heavy casualties would increase exponentially.
This money buys a higher success rate and our people can come back alive."
Wen Congwu's face was already smiling. "Oh, I'm just worried about adding to your burden. Do you think the price over there can be discounted?"
"Hey, don't try to act like that, kid. When have you ever been soft-hearted when trying to coax and trick things out of me over the years?
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me if it's okay or not. As long as you're confident in this plan, it's finalized. You don't have to worry about the money." Xiao Shiqiu still spoke calmly.
Wen Congwu was overjoyed: "Great! That's fantastic! Since the other personnel are too busy to be sent abroad, I can go abroad and command them in my private capacity. You can also tell the other party about this and ask them to take my share when they prepare the equipment!"
"Just you? You don't have any helpers?"
Wen Congwu paused, as if he was a little tempted, but still shook his head and said, "Since it's not an official assignment, I have to bear the risk myself and find a way to pay for the travel expenses myself. I won't cause trouble to others."
"That's fine, but you can also ask others. What if there are others who are just as willing to suffer as me? If anyone is willing to go, I will pay for their travel expenses."
In the monitoring room where you could hear a pin drop, several people began to breathe rapidly, and some people were already impatiently raising their hands to apply to go into battle.
Wen Congwu's eyes narrowed with laughter. Just as he was about to thank him, Xiao Shiqiu added coldly, "You pay for your share yourself. I don't care."
Wen Congwu's smile froze visibly on his face, and then disappeared.
However, he still offered dry politeness. "Well, thank you. I'll go back to the bureau to make a report and give you a precise answer today."
Wen Congwu hung up the phone, and the depression on his face that was choked by Xiao Shiqiu was quickly replaced by excitement.
He glanced around, his eyes burning. "Everyone has seen the plan. Time is running out. The plan they came up with is basically fine. We will carry out the rescue and capture operations according to this plan!"
He paused, his voice lowered, "As you all heard, I will lead the team to participate in the operation in my private capacity, and the work here will be handed over to Luo Yong.
I will return to the bureau immediately to report the situation to my superiors. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. "
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yong was the first to stand up and shouted, "I'll go!"
The worry in his eyes was almost overflowing. I felt that his concern for Fang Dongmei was extraordinary.
Wen Congwu was stunned, his eyes widened as he asked him, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with this plan?"
Luo Yong was also stunned by this question, "Ah? No~ I mean I want to go with you."
"Oh, I thought you stood up and wanted to curse someone. Speak completely next time!" Wen Congwu waved his hand helplessly and asked him to sit down.
Unexpectedly, the monitoring room exploded immediately afterwards.
"Boss, take me with you!"
"I want to go too! This opportunity is so rare!"
"Exactly. It's so frustrating sitting here staring at a screen! I'm so anxious all day long!"
Even Xu Wenjie, with his messy hair, raised his hand eagerly.
Wen Congwu frowned as he looked at this group of young people who usually hunched over their computers but were now filled with passion. He scolded them bluntly, "Nonsense! What are you, the technical clerks, doing here?"
Everyone is out on field work, what should we do here?
I know you are quite skilled, but what should we do here?
We can't let those rough guys who can't even remember the system password watch over it, right?"
A basin of cold water was poured over their heads, and the crowd, who had been so excited just now, instantly fell silent.
Xu Wenjie put his hand down awkwardly, muttering, "I just wanted to take this opportunity to try out some real combat... If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Why are you being so fierce..."
After saying that, he turned around angrily and continued to stare at the surveillance screen, but the sound of typing on the keyboard became noticeably louder.
Luo Yong's impulsiveness passed and his heated mind calmed down.
I've heard for a long time that his skills are among the best in the entire A City police force. There are many police officers in the bureau who can fight and run and are suitable for field work.
There are not many talents like Luo Yong.
He took a deep breath and sat down silently, accepting the reality.
"Alright," Wen Congwu said in a softer tone when he saw that everyone had calmed down. "All of you stay at your posts! Don't miss any movement from Fang Dongmei! If there's anything unusual, notify me immediately!
Don't worry, once the case is solved, you will be indispensable in making contributions."
"I'm not trying to make a contribution..." Luo Yong wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't continue.
Wen Congwu looked at him deeply and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will ensure that everyone returns to the team safely!"
The monitoring room became quiet again, with only the sounds of keyboard typing and mouse clicking. The atmosphere was a bit dull, but everyone's eyes were more focused on the screen.
I found a corner to sit down, my eyes fixed on the small window belonging to Fang Dongmei on the main screen.
The screen showed the real-time image captured by her glasses. She had just gotten up. According to the notice they had received, there were no mandatory arrangements this morning. The main purpose was to adjust to the jet lag and adapt to the environment. The training would start in the afternoon.
I felt encouraged, thinking that maybe this was my chance to shine.
Near noon, Fang Dongmei went to the restaurant with several other people.
Hannah waved at Fang Dongmei at the food pick-up counter, pointing to a plate of prepared food. "Yesterday's physical examination results showed that several of your indicators were not very good. This is a nutritious meal specially prepared for you by the company."
This 'nutritious meal' looked even more refined and light. "Thank you so much," Fang Dongmei said, taking the plate naturally with both hands, still sighing, "This kind of human care from the company is so touching."
She and Zhao Yunhua took their plates and sat down at a table in the corner. Zhao Yunhua lowered his voice and said, "What does the company mean by this? Why do they care so much about their employees' health that they even provide you with customized nutritious meals? This is a bit too strange."
Fang Dongmei casually replied as she nibbled at her "nutritious meal," "Maybe the company is more humane? I'm not sure... but it's always good intentions to care about employees." Then, she quickly added in a low voice, "Don't ask, and don't talk too much."
Zhao Yunhua seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Fang Dongmei's serious eyes and the surrounding environment, he finally swallowed his words, lowered his head and ate his meal in silence, but the doubt in his eyes deepened.
Fang Dongmei quickly finished her meal and said, "Xiao Zhao, I'm going back to my room to put on some makeup. Please wait for me in the lobby."
"Okay, then hurry up." Zhao Yunhua ate slowly and responded vaguely.
Fang Dongmei hurried back to the room, closed the door, and went straight to the suitcase. She squatted down and rummaged through it, then took out an exquisite powder box.
I recognized that it was something from Xiao Shiqiu's laboratory, but I forgot what it was used for.
