Chapter 64
As the car drove into the village, it immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
It is not easy for people in these places to see a car. This is the second time this month.
"Excuse me, have the warriors from the cultural troupe come to perform recently?"
The villagers looked at the handsome face that appeared in the slowly lowering car window, and were startled for a moment. They nodded shyly, "Yes, yes, they live next to the commune primary school. There will be a performance tonight."
Su Lin smiled at them, grabbed a handful of candies from a paper bag nearby and handed them to the child who was holding onto the villager's leg. "Thank you very much. Could you please show me the way?"
"Okay, okay, don't thank me yet, uncle."
Soon, the car was led to a stop at the gate of the commune primary school, immediately attracting the attention of people nearby.
Su Lin hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for the villager. The villager and the child were dizzy and almost lost their way after getting out of the car.
"Thank you very much."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several people rushing out of the school.
These people all looked energetic and their clothes did not seem like they were from the village. However, they were in a hurry, as if they were on some urgent business.
"Hello comrade, what happened?"
Su Lin glanced inside, but didn't see the person he was looking for. "Excuse me, is Chen Chen here?"
The man was a little anxious at first, but when he saw Su Lin stop subconsciously, and then heard that he was looking for Chen Chen, he hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"
"So Tuan!"
The man who was just grabbed was from the county art troupe and did not know Su Lin. However, some comrades who came to the countryside with Chen Chen recognized Su Lin at a glance. He was a prominent figure in their military region.
They all knew that Su Tuan seemed to be pursuing Chen Chen, but because Chen Chen did not agree or admit it, they did not tell anyone.
But now was not the time to talk about this, the girl hurried forward and said, "Chen Chen went to Tiezhu's house, but she has been gone all afternoon and hasn't come back yet, we are planning to go look for her."
"What's going on?" Su Lin was also a little anxious. With so many people looking for him, there must be something wrong. "Let's talk while we walk."
Tiezhu's father fell into a river and drowned two years ago because he was drunk. His mother took him and remarried to a man who also had a son.
It is said that if you have a stepfather, you will have a stepmother. Not only is his stepbrother better than him in everything, but his younger sister who was born later is also more loved by his parents than him. This child is stuck in the middle and is in a very difficult situation.
"Tiezhu got beaten again today, with wounds all over his body, so he came to find Chen Chen, but Chen Chen couldn't bear to see it and ran off to argue with others."
Does theory need to take so long?
Su Lin felt more and more uneasy, and his long legs moved faster and faster.
"Why is there no one to accompany her?" Su Lin asked, suppressing his anger.
Hearing his question, everyone was a little embarrassed. The girl just now said: "I was making lunch at the time and advised her not to go, but she went anyway. We had talked about it before."
They had seen many situations like Tiezhu's family, and they had no way of controlling it. Most of the time they would just get into trouble for nothing, so no one wanted to go. Originally, Chen Chen might have come back after being scolded, but they waited and waited and no one showed up, so they became anxious.
Su Lin didn't want to talk anymore. How could they just let their comrades be in danger for so long?
Everyone felt the chill from Su Lin and rushed to Tiezhu's house at the speed of light. However, the door of Tiezhu's house was closed and no one knew if there was anyone inside.
Several people went up and knocked on the door, "Tiezhu, are you home?"
There was no movement inside.
But the door was locked from the inside, so there must be someone inside, and Su Lin had already heard the movement inside.
"Get out of the way." he shouted.
Everyone pushed the door open, and Su Lin kicked it, causing the gate to fall down. Su Lin immediately saw a child peeking out of the door. He strode over and scared the child so much that he turned around and ran away.
But where can the child run to?
It's just a small room.
Su Lin quickly took the child out, "Where's Chen Chen?" Su Lin could feel that there was no one else in the house except this child and the little girl on the bed.
When Tiezhu saw so many people, he was so frightened that he trembled. He was also caught by Su Lin and could not say a word.
"Tiezhu." The girl named Chen Xiuxiu stepped forward and said, "Tiezhu, don't be afraid. We are only here to look for Sister Chen Chen. Can you tell me where Sister Chen Chen has gone?"
"I... I don't know." The child's eyes were filled with tears and he looked scared and anxious.
It’s a pity that children are just children after all. Their mouths can deceive people but their expressions cannot.
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, I'll take you to the police and lock you up in a moment."
The country kids had never seen the world, and they only knew that adults were very afraid of the police, as if once they saw the police they would never come back.
Tiezhu was even more frightened, and when he met Su Lin's scary eyes, he burst into tears.
At this time, the few people who had entered the house to look for someone had returned empty-handed.
Su Lin grabbed the child by the back of his clothes and walked out without saying anything. Tie Zhu was so scared that he struggled hard, "I said, I said... Wuwu... Sister Chen Chen ran away, ran to the back mountain..."
Even though he didn't dare to lie, Su Lin threw the man to the person who followed him and went straight to the back mountain.
Run away?
Why run?
It's farmers' leisure time now and there's no one at home. Where did they go?
Su Lin had a guess in his mind, and he ran madly towards the back of the mountain as if he was on wheels, and soon he left the people behind him far behind.
Chen Chen's condition is indeed very bad at the moment.
She didn't expect this family to be so bold as to drug her in broad daylight. After all, everyone saw her dragging the iron pillar home.
No wonder they became so easy to talk to her, chatting with her about everything and not letting her leave, just to let her guard down.
The strange feeling in her body reminded her of the scenes that often appeared in her nightmares. Those scenes seemed to have happened so long ago that she thought it was just a nightmare.
Listening to the voices coming from behind, is the nightmare about to happen again?
No, it's impossible. She would never let such a thing happen again even if she died.
Chen Chen ran madly towards the mountain. If Yu Yao hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't have realized that something was wrong with her. But this time, she still seemed to be unable to avoid the tragedy in time. It was all her fault. Yu Yao had clearly said that one should never eat other people's food alone, especially when the other person made him or her feel bad.
Why?
Chen Chen didn't understand why there were so many demons in this world?
She wanted to leave this world as soon as possible and go to a place where no one could find her anymore.
There was a fire burning inside her body, which seemed to burn her to ashes. Her consciousness gradually became blurred and her strength gradually disappeared. Chen Chen was filled with deep despair.
She just hopes that it won't happen again and that she can disappear from this world.
She never wanted to experience such a thing again.
After figuring it out, Chen Chen's pace slowed down and her eyelids felt heavy. She felt footsteps following her and fell heavily to the ground.
However, the expected violence did not happen. Chen Chen felt himself falling into a cool and comfortable embrace with a faint scent of soap.
"It's okay." The man whispered in her ear.
Chen Chen felt even more empty in his heart and wanted to hug the man tightly.
Su Lin looked at the man lying on the ground with a dark look in his eyes. He held Chen Chen tightly and said when he saw the people chasing after him, "You guys restrain all the people in his family and I will deal with them when I come back. I will take Chen Chen to the hospital."
Chen Chen was completely nestled in his arms. No one could see clearly what had happened to Chen Chen. But when they heard that he had to be sent to the hospital, everyone was shocked and did not dare to say anything more, for fear of delaying Chen Chen from seeing a doctor.
After the people walked away, someone couldn't help but sigh: "This Captain Su is really scary."
"Of course not. Have you heard of the Su family in Shanghai? They are not good people."
Anyone in the army has never heard of the names of Su Xiangtian and Su Wangtian. Although one of the two brothers is dead and the other has retired, their legends are still circulating in the army. It seems that the descendants of the Su family are not cowards.
Su Lin had no idea what these people were thinking. He carried Chen Chen in his arms and quickly ran down the mountain towards his car. Only after starting the car did Su Lin slowly calm down.
But Chen Chen on the side was obviously about to explode. She left the source of coolness and kept tearing her clothes. If someone saw her like this, who knows what kind of rumors would spread. What's more important is that at this moment, Chen Chen was calling his name.
"Su Lin, Su Lin...save me, Su Lin..."
-
At the gate of the family compound, Gu Qing looked at Yu Yao worriedly, "You must be careful when you are alone outside. If you encounter a situation like last time, don't force yourself. Put safety first."
Yu Yao was holding his hand, and although she was smiling, she was still somewhat reluctant in her heart. However, she was also a little amused and helpless because of his childish behavior.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Qing on the cheek, "Be good, wait for me to come back."
This bold action made Gu Qing's pupils shrink. He quickly looked around and made sure that no one saw him before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not yet daybreak.
He really regretted being so kind last night because he felt sorry for her because she had to take a bus today. "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Yu Yao chuckled as she saw his expression changing unpredictably.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Don't worry too much. When my second brother and the others leave, you can help them. Remember to think of me."
The two of them have been dawdling here for nearly half an hour. If Gu Qing doesn't go back, he will miss his morning training.
Gu Qing also knew that she was trying to reassure him, so he patted her head and said, "Go ahead. If you have anything, just send a telegram or make a phone call."
At this moment, he really longed for the future technological world that Yu Yao talked about. What kind of experience would it be to be able to see people who are thousands of miles away at all times?
These are still difficult to achieve, but we can arrange to find a car for Yao.
It would be much more convenient for her to drive to the city and take the train at this time. Her Ah Yao knew much more than he imagined.
Both of them are adults now, and although they still want to be together, they each have their own things to do, so after they separated they started working towards their goal again.
Yu Yao didn't spend too much time in the car. He mainly rested and thought about his future plans and Gu Qing when he was sober. He didn't encounter any dangerous things along the way and finally arrived in Guangzhou after a few days.
The climate in Guangzhou is much warmer than that in Xichuan. When Yu Yao arrived at the train station, he first called Liao Song and his team, and then found a guesthouse to stay in and rest.
Liao Song arrived at noon the next day, and with him was a middle-aged man who looked 40% like Liao Song.
"Sister Yu Yao, this is my dad, the captain of our Liao family brigade. Dad, this is Sister Yu Yao."
"Uncle Liao, please take care of me these days."
Liao Gang had always heard that Yu Yao was an older sister, and he imagined that she might be a woman not much younger than his wife. Unexpectedly, she looked almost the same as his own daughter. He was really surprised, mainly because no matter the methods Yu Yao came up with, the conditions Yu Yao proposed, or Yu Yao's network of contacts all seemed very mature.
"Hello, I didn't expect Comrade Yu Yao to be so young. He is really promising at a young age."
Even though the other party looked young, Liao Gang did not dare to neglect him. He took his people to the state-owned hotel and thought it would not be too late to discuss the matter after eating.
Yu Yao saw that he was a man who knew how to handle things, so she didn't refuse and went with him.
Sitting at the dinner table, he mentioned the arrangements for the past few days.
"I wonder what plans Comrade Yu Yao has for this visit. I wonder if he has time to learn about our pickles, such as sales, production process, raw materials, etc."
The reason why he asked this was because Yu Yao had said at the beginning that this visit was mainly to discuss cooperation with the Jingshi Military Region. Their commune and even the county attached great importance to this matter. If it were not for Yu Yao's request, perhaps the county leaders would have come to discuss it themselves this time.
"I need to understand it. I'm not in a hurry. We can sort out the previous things first, plan the development of the factory, and then continue to discuss cooperation."
It’s not that Yu Yao is really free. As a food factory, the most important thing is naturally the product. As for cooperation, there is no rush at this moment.
"Yes, yes, yes. That's the best idea. After we have dinner, we can go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in the county first, and then go back to the factory. There's no need to rush our trip."
Yu Yao was indifferent. She was not afraid of being a little tired. As long as they had made arrangements according to what she had said, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Sure enough, after dinner, Yu Yao went to several supply and marketing cooperatives by himself. When he asked about pickled vegetables, the salespersons would promote the pickled vegetables from Liaojia Village, saying that they contained more meat, more oil and tasted better. Although some of these salespersons might be good at speaking and some might not be so good at speaking, the direction they were all pointing out was basically the same.
Yu Yao bought a few bottles from several good salespeople and made a note of the names of these salespeople. Good salespeople deserve better treatment.
The reason why they work so hard is of course that there are benefits hanging in the balance.
Throughout the county, the factory rewards the sales point with the best sales volume and the two sales points with the greatest progress with RMB 20 each month, and the RMB 20 is divided equally among the supply and marketing cooperative.
It seems that even if you win the prize, everyone can only get a few dollars, but if you can get a few more dollars a month, why wouldn’t you be happy?
Generally speaking, the ones with the best sales volume might be the ones with better business, but the ones with the biggest improvement are different. Yu Yao’s goal is to make them roll up.
Now that it has been rolled up, I think it will be of great help to them after the reform and opening up.
"When the bonus is distributed at the end of the month, I will give these people an extra five dollars. I will say that the factory leader came to inspect and was very satisfied with their work, so I gave them the bonus. I will pay it from my own account. I can give them this kind of incentive once a year or when sales are sluggish, but it should not be too frequent."
When they heard Yu Yao wanted to pay a few dozen dollars out of his own pocket, they were stunned.
"How can we ask you to give us the money? We will go to the factory to apply for it and we will definitely give it to them." Liao Gang said hurriedly.
Liao Song also nodded, "I definitely can't let you pay, Sister Yu Yao, but this method is a good one, but I have a question. These salespeople may have performed well just now, but there are also those who you haven't seen who work hard on weekdays. If they don't get the reward, will they have any thoughts?"
That's a good question.
Yu Yao: "The success of anything in this world cannot be achieved by hard work alone, but also depends on luck and many other factors," Yu Yao picked up the bottle of sauce she had just bought and said, "Take this person for example. If she is usually lazy, and she was in a good mood this time and worked hard for once and was lucky enough to meet me, then she got the five dollars by luck."
"But what do you think she'll do next?"
Liao Song thought for a long time before saying, "She will occasionally try hard, at least when she sees our factory leader or someone he doesn't know."
Yu Yao nodded, "Yes, her occasional efforts may not earn back the five yuan, but it is possible to earn more. What we give is not only an encouragement to them, but also our emphasis on pickles. In addition, this is also the confidence of our factory. After all, even those state-owned factories, no matter how rich they are, will not give out rewards like this."
The two people who originally thought that Yu Yao's move was too exaggerated were convinced.
"Anyway, there are many ways you can try, and you may get unexpected results. Even if I lose 10,000 yuan, I will lose all these tens of dollars, which will not affect me too much. But if it is a few hundred yuan, I will definitely lose money, and if it is a few thousand yuan, I may go crazy. So we must do a good job of risk assessment, that is, what is the worst and best result of our investment? Don't break the jar. When the situation is good, you can take a risk, and when the situation is bad, be conservative..."
Yu Yao said a lot of things. These were all arranged by her long ago. There was no specific itinerary. If they didn’t come to visit today, she would have to hand over the method to Liao Song.
The county seat is not far from Liaojia Village, only a few minutes by car. This is a great advantage for the factory. Transportation is very important.
Yu Yao followed them to see the factory's production situation and pointed out some minor hygiene issues, but overall they were still within Yu Yao's expectations. He also took a look at their raw materials, and overall Yu Yao was quite satisfied. He could discuss cooperation with Beijing.
After making up his mind, Yu Yao immediately called Gu Wu and asked him to send a few trustworthy people to study here.
They have already selected the factory address near Beijing City, and the factory building has been rebuilt. They are just waiting for the negotiations here to be reached. Even if the negotiations fail, Yu Yao can think of a new solution for them. Now seeing the situation in Yangcheng, Yu Yao is relieved.
Hearing that the situation here is very good, Gu Wu was also very happy and said that he would send someone over immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yao called Gu Qing again to report that she was safe. After all, it was a work phone number at the factory, so Yu Yao was embarrassed to say more and hung up after just a few words.
But Gu Qing felt a little relieved after receiving Yu Yao's call.
Something seemed to be going on at the top these past two days. Cao Lu and several other leaders held meetings every day, and even called back Su Lin, who had taken leave.
It was strange to say that when Su Lin went out, the first thing he did when he came back was to file a marriage report, and he also went through special approval to quickly get a marriage certificate with Chen Chen.
But Gu Qing didn't care too much about it. After all, it was their private matter. He just felt a little annoyed when he found out that he didn't find out clearly when chatting with Yu Yao. He knew that Yu Yao liked to hear these things the most, and Yu Yao paid close attention to the two of them.
Yu Yao is indeed a little curious about the two of them now. It is normal for them to confirm their relationship after going out together. They already have feelings for each other, but it is a bit strange that they are in such a hurry to get the marriage certificate. Could something have happened?
She didn't expect that she would guess it right at random.
That day in Liangcun Commune, Su Lin did not take Chen Chen to the commune hospital because her appearance was not suitable for outsiders to see her, especially those who knew Chen Chen in the commune.
So Su Lin originally planned to send people to the county town.
But no one knew what kind of medicine those bastards gave Chen Chen, and it seemed to be particularly strong. There was no other way, so Su Lin could only take Chen Chen to a pond.
But before he could get the man into the pond, Chen Chen had already knocked him down. At that moment, desire overcame reason, and even if Chen Chen wanted to sue him for hooliganism after he sobered up, he would accept it.
As expected, after waking up, Chen Chen seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She just kept wiping away her tears and remained indifferent no matter what Su Lin said to her.
Su Lin originally wanted to take her directly back to Beijing, but then he received an urgent notice from the military district. The two things happened at the same time, and Su Lin was so anxious that he almost got blisters at the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, Chen Chen seemed to suddenly figure it out. She asked Su Lin if he was willing to marry her, and Su Lin of course agreed.
But Su Lin didn't know whether she really liked him or just because of what happened between them.
But Su Lin didn't ask. He chose to be mean for once. He would give her all the best he had.
Later, Chen Chen returned to normal and was gentler to Su Lin than ever before. Su Lin always felt that it was a little unreal, but he had no time to think about it because there was a very important mission that they needed to accomplish.
Just recently, a secret order came down from above.
The content of the secret order is related to a major theft case.
Just a few decades ago, a batch of extremely exquisite cultural relics were unearthed in Ontario, but in the end 80% of them disappeared. The country has never given up on tracking down the whereabouts of these cultural relics until recently someone saw one of the carved jade snuff bottles in Hong Kong.
There are two possibilities now. The first possibility is that the batch of cultural relics have long been lost overseas, and only a small number have appeared in Hong Kong and other places. In that case, even if they find the snuff bottle back, it will only be a drop in the bucket for the recovery of the cultural relics.
Another possibility is that the batch of cultural relics is in the hands of someone, and that person is now in Hong Kong. It is very likely that he encountered some difficulties or was testing the water when he took out the snuff bottle. If this is the case, the possibility of recovering the cultural relics will be much greater.
Everyone tends to believe in the second possibility, because if it is the first possibility, then this batch of cultural relics would not have appeared for such a long time, even overseas.
The reason why the higher-ups attach so much importance to this is also related to one thing, that is, a mission in the south given by You Ling and Chen Chen regarding this point in time in the previous life.
No one knows what this mission is. Since Chen Chen and the others don’t know, it means that this mission is confidential, but such big missions are basically kept confidential.
What if this mission would cost the life of a young and promising man like Gu Qing, and cause so many soldiers to die? Should they send someone to complete the mission?
But the country's property must be recovered. How can we let these things flow overseas? And the thief who stole the things should also be punished.
So how do we complete the mission, who should we send to complete the mission, and how can we ensure the safety of the soldiers.
The group discussed for several days but could not come to a conclusion. Chen Chen was also called in for questioning several times, but Chen Chen had already explained everything about the mission, and she could not think of anything else.
They all guessed that the reason for the recent nervousness of the superiors was because of the upcoming mission. Gu Qing himself was also a little nervous, after all, this matter concerned him.
As long as he was ordered by his superiors, he would definitely carry out the mission, even though he knew it was fraught with danger.
In order to save his leg, Gu Qing trained harder and harder and didn't think about Yu Yao all the time.
There is also Cai Qi. You Ling had said before that Cai Qi's life would be in danger on this mission. Although it was later denied by Chen Chen, Gu Qing was still a little worried, so he dragged him to train madly with him. The two have worked together many times, and Gu Qing knows very well that Cai Qi will make the same choice as himself.
At the same time, Yu Yao in Yangcheng also thought of this incident.
March's mission.
She never talked about this with Gu Qing when she was at home, and both of them seemed to be avoiding the topic.
But both of them knew very well that if they received the order, they would move forward without hesitation. Someone had to do it. If they retreated, someone else would have to rush to the front. How could they be the one who retreated?
However, Gu Qing didn't tell her the last time she called him, which must mean he hadn't received the task yet. She believed that Gu Qing would not hide it from her.
After some time, Yu Yao and other people from Beijing came and took them through everything from factory construction to production and then to sales. It must be said that the people selected by Gu Wu were very reliable and it was very easy to teach them.
Just when Yu Yao was hesitating whether to go to Beijing with them, she received a call from Gu Qing.
The mission was still assigned, but this time it was treated as the highest level mission. The team sent by Candle Dragon was fully responsible for this mission, and all the people selected were the elites of Candle Dragon.
When Zhang Wei suggested that Yu Yao also participate in the mission, Gu Qing wanted to refuse, but he remembered Yu Yao's attitude towards him at home and said nothing. He should leave the decision to Yu Yao.
Gu Qing did not say much about the details of the mission on the phone, only saying that the organization was going to give her a mission and asked her to be on standby in Yangcheng.
Yu Yao was a little confused, but she also knew that this was not the time to answer her questions. After hanging up the phone, she rejected the invitation to leave with the people in Beijing and said that they would meet again soon.
After spending some time together, everyone was convinced of Yu Yao. Even though Yu Yao's decisions were not completely correct, his ability to handle various things was beyond their reach.
The main thing is that Yu Yao is just a little girl, and the oldest among them can be Yu Yao's father.
Moreover, Yu Yao did not despise them due to their lack of ability. From nothing to something, they felt that they had learned more in less than a month here than they would have in a year or even ten years. They were reluctant to leave Yu Yao, but no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to say goodbye in the end.
Liao Song also left with them. Of course, Liao Song would come back after leaving. He just went there to develop the market and help sell pickles.
His goal in the past was to sell Liao’s pickles in Guangzhou, but now his goal is to promote Liao’s pickles nationwide.
This cooperation was naturally a great development for Liaojia Sauce Factory. Not only did they receive a large sum of "tuition fees" from the military, but they also received great conveniences for their commune, such as opening up conscription quotas for their commune.
What makes them most happy is naturally that the pickle factory is still called Liao's Pickle Factory even when it is opened in the north. What does this mean? It means that people all over the country will be able to eat Liao's pickles in the future, and when life gets better and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, aren't these what they are pursuing?
The main contributor to all this was Yu Yao. Yu Yao didn't even mention it, but the commune took the initiative to give her a 2% dividend.
It was impossible for Yu Yao to refuse the benefits that came to her door, but she was already tied to them now.
After arranging all these, Yu Yao was ready to leave. Before leaving, she chatted with Liao He, encouraging her not to give up practicing painting, but also to look at more beautiful things, and to wait for the opportunity to go out more with Liao Song, either for anything else but to appreciate beauty.
When the market opens up in the future, there will be many opportunities, such as design, and there will be a shortage of talent in all walks of life. Liao He should make use of this talent.
Then Yu Yao asked her to read more books, and implicitly told her about the future trend. It would not be bad to read more books. If she waited until the college entrance examination was resumed, she could also study design. Her family was in Guangzhou, so her future prospects would not be bad.
Everyone in the Liao family believed what Yu Yao said, and Liao He even regarded this sister as his idol.
Yu Yao said that there is no need to do more than what is necessary.
The next day after she returned to Guangzhou from the village, she met Gu Qing, who was exhausted.
"Why are you here?" Yu Yao never expected that the person who came to confront him was Gu Qing.
Gu Qing was obviously in a hurry and even had a little stubble on his face, but he looked very happy with a smile on his face.
"Comrade Yu Yao, are you ready to accept the organization's test?"
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows, but answered seriously, "Of course."
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
After Gu Qing had packed up, he told Yu Yao about the mission.
Zhang Wei chose Yu Yao because she knew many foreign languages and she also knew some Hong Kong dialect, which was entirely due to the Hong Kong gangster movies she had watched before.
"But my Hong Kong dialect is not standard." After all, it depends on the quality of the TV.
Gu Qing nodded, took a bite of the big bun that Yu Yao took out from the space, squinted his eyes in satisfaction and said: "That's why I chose you."
Because this time Yu Yao is required to play a gold-digger from the mainland who comes to Hong Kong. She herself needs to love vanity, spend money lavishly, look down on the mainlanders and regards herself as a Hong Konger, but in fact she has some habits from the mainland.
As Yu Yao listened, she put on a mask of pain. This was the type of person she hated the most.
"I understand what you mean. You want those self-righteous Hong Kong people to think that I am just a beautiful country bumpkin from the mainland with big breasts and no brains."
Gu Qing was stunned by her description, but it was quite vivid.
Then his eyes moved up and down from Yu Yao's face, and he was slapped.
They both had fun.
"Be serious and continue."
Yu Yao plays the gold digger, while Gu Qing is a Hong Kong gambling nouveau riche. Both of them are positioned as foolish people with a lot of money who spend money like water.
Then, after they show up in Hong Kong, they can participate in some stone gambling activities and antique auctions to find the whereabouts of the antiques.
"What about the traitor within the team that I mentioned earlier?"
"The traitor has been found before, but that doesn't mean our team is absolutely safe, so we split into five groups and act on our own. I don't know their plans, and we can also conceal our whereabouts."
Yu Yao was shocked. She was still able to do this. “Isn’t this too risky?”
Even if they disguise themselves, they will still be recognized by people who know them, right?
If there really is a traitor among them, wouldn't it be very dangerous for them?
"There is no other way. If what Chen Chen and You Ling said happens again, this is our best solution."
That makes sense. By acting separately, at least they won't be betrayed because they have no base. The enemy also won't know how they will appear. If the mission fails, how can they get away? This also gives them more chances to complete the mission.
"In that case, we have to be more careful," Yu Yao said.
Gu Qing did not comment, "Yes, no matter what the situation is, you must always put your own safety first."
"What about Cai Qi? Is he here?" Yu Yao could remember that in the words of You Ling and the others, Cai Qi was a very important person.
"Yes, but not in our group."
The two fell silent. Not being in the same group meant that Cai Qi would not protect Gu Qing, which would put Gu Qing in greater danger, and Cai Qi could avoid being injured. However, no one knew whether there would be a new crisis.
"Don't worry, I'm well prepared. I will protect myself and you too. Don't let me worry." Gu Qing didn't know if his choice to be in a group with Yu Yao was the right one, but he knew very well that no matter who he was in a group with, if his teammates encountered any difficulties, he would step forward without hesitation.
Since they were going to help each other, he chose to protect Yu Yao himself, but he thought that with Yu Yao's abilities, she might not really need his protection.
"Okay, I understand. Show me the information."
Since it is a mission, we must give it our all.
Gu Qing took out a stack of information from his bag and gave it to her. Of course, there was nothing particularly important in it, only the information about that batch of cultural relics.
"Another point is that the reason I agreed to Zhang Wei's proposal is because of your space. If we discover the cultural relics in private, we can just put them away. That way it will be much safer."
This was the point that Gu Qing finally agreed to. As for what Zhang Wei said about Yu Yao's beauty being able to confuse those people in Gangcheng, Gu Qing didn't want to use such means at all.
Yu Yao nodded as she read the information. It was best for Gu Qing to think of her at this time, as this was the way to maximize the effectiveness of her space.
"But I have a question. Can the money we have really support our lavish spending?"
As for the organization, it probably cannot come up with that much funding right now.
Gu Qing nodded, "Of course not. We have to fight for it ourselves."
Yu Yao: “?” How? Black market?
"Look first. We'll go out and buy some clothes to dress up. We still have enough money to buy a few sets of clothes."
Yu Yao looked him up and down, "How about we disguise ourselves?"
"You also know how to disguise yourself?"
She doesn’t know how to disguise herself, but she knows how to put on makeup.
Two hours later, two young men and women appeared on the streets of Yangcheng shopping, but they didn't buy much when they returned to the hotel.
Gu Qing knew that Yu Yao knew her limits, so when Yu Yao took out a pair of scissors and asked him to help cut her hair, Gu Qing cut Yu Yao's long hair into shoulder-length short hair without saying a word. Her hair was relatively soft, so even at shoulder-length it was very obedient and did not fly up at all.
Gu Qing wore a wig with a 3:7 split. Seeing Gu Qing suddenly look more romantic, Yu Yao couldn't help laughing out loud.
Gu Qing wanted to look in the mirror but was stopped by Yu Yao because she hadn't put on makeup yet.
She took the cosmetics of that era and put them on Gu Qing's face for a while. Then Yu Yao asked him to put on the suit she had just bought and let him look in the mirror.
Gu Qing looked at the person in the mirror, and then looked at Yu Yao in front of him who was wearing big sunglasses and had flaming red lips. He felt that his wife was truly an amazing person, as she could even do these things.
Although if the two of them appeared in the family compound now, people would most likely be able to recognize them, but what if they only existed in legends? If people only heard about such a handsome man and beautiful woman, or saw them from a distance, they would definitely not associate them with their original appearance, which greatly enhanced the safety of the two.
After witnessing his wife's prowess once again, Gu Qing no longer hid his intentions. He immediately told her about his plans. He planned to use gambling on gems as a breakthrough point and antique appreciation as a stepping stone to enter the antique circle in Hong Kong.
Yu Yao: "Do you still gamble with stones?"
"I know a thing or two."
When he said that, Yu Yao knew it was a done deal. How could he not be able to carve out a good stone to serve as a breakthrough?
Can't afford a nice antique or two to use as a stepping stone?
"The money we earn in this way will also belong to us?" Just like the money he mentioned last time that he earned on the black market.
