The trip to the wildlife park was the most rewarding for Guo Xuyang.
He hadn't expected his storage ability to be so powerful; it had cleaned out all the diamonds within a radius of dozens of miles.
Now, his mind was a vast expanse of sparkling brilliance, piled high like a granary.
Yu'er had transformed into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her appearance becoming even more radiant.
However, Guo Xuyang was unaware of this, as he was busy dealing with the captivating beauty before him, leaving him utterly enthralled.
Lu Liang drove back to the hotel late at night, feeling utterly exhausted.
Guo Xuyang, on the other hand, fell asleep as soon as he got in the car and slept all the way to the hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the three of them ate a simple meal before retiring to their rooms.
Lu Liang, having driven all day, fell asleep as soon as he entered his room.
Meanwhile, Ilena slipped into Guo Xuyang's room, continuing her lessons with the "old driver."
This left Guo Xuyang sweating profusely, unable to extricate himself.
With intense effort, pushing and pulling, he finally collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, all three of them woke up quite late.
Guo Xuyang was his usual listless self, while Ilena was full of energy.
She unreservedly hooked her arm through Guo Xuyang's and they walked out of the room together.
When they reached the restaurant downstairs, Lu Liang had already ordered and was waiting for them.
"Eat up quickly. I've ordered some hearty dishes for you two. See how they taste?"
The table was laden with oysters, bull penis, steaks, and a lamb hot pot. The service was truly impeccable.
"Thank you, Brother Liang," Guo Xuyang said, not hesitating to grab an oyster and pop it into his mouth.
He really needed to replenish his strength. If he continued at this pace for a few more days, he wouldn't be able to stand up straight.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you," Lu Liang commented.
"This lamb soup is excellent, it nourishes yin and tonifies yang, perfect for your current condition."
Guo Xuyang didn't even have time to reply, his hands still busy, he downed dozens of oysters and then consumed the bull penis before finally picking up a small bowl to taste the lamb soup.
"Mmm, comforting. Truly delicious. You guys eat too."
Only after he finished eating did he notice that Lu Liang and Ilena hadn't touched their cutlery.
"Aren't you hungry?"
"I suddenly realized that the way a man eats is also very handsome," Ilena blurted out inexplicably.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you know?" Lu Liang said.
"I don't know."
"I knew you wouldn't. It's a saying from my hometown, meaning that when you like someone, you see no fault in them.
That's how you are now. Yang Zi is handsome, but don't be too captivated by him."
"Mind your own business, I'm happy," Ilena shot Lu Liang a glare.
"I'm sticking with Yang Zi. Anyway, that dark-skinned guy isn't as handsome as this one."
"Yang Zi is very poor; he might not be able to support you."
"It's fine. I'll support him. I have shares in the company."
Ilena's comebacks were skillfully delivered, leaving Lu Liang speechless.
Not only did Ilena have shares in the company, but she had also invested in several gold and diamond mines over the past few years in South Africa.
She had connections with Chike and Hera, suggesting her efforts had not been in vain.
Guo Xuyang remained noncommittal. For him, Ilena provided not just visual pleasure but also sensual satisfaction.
After all, he wasn't looking for a wife. Being with such a captivating woman offered immense psychological fulfillment.
"We're planning to fly back home tomorrow. Do you want to come along?" Lu Liang asked.
"Yes, please. I've found the diamond deposits, so my mission is complete. I'll go with you to see that magical country," Ilena said happily.
"Aren't you afraid Xiao Yun will be jealous?"
"Why would she be jealous? We can all be together."
Are foreign women truly this open-minded?
Guo Xuyang was naturally pleased to hear this.
As a man, who wouldn't want to enjoy the blessings of having multiple partners?
Lu Liang pursed his lips and commented, "I think Yang Zi is being led astray."
"Men are loved for their naughtiness. I like men who are a bit bad."
Fine. Lu Liang decided to remain silent.
He had truly witnessed what it meant to be shameless and invincible.
After a satisfying meal, they booked their flights online, preparing to return home the next day.
"Boss, we've found a rich diamond mine here. I've already arranged for people to start construction.
The cargo ship has returned to China with over four tons of diamonds. I've sent Xiao Liu along with it.
Yang Zi and I plan to fly back tomorrow. Do you have any further arrangements?"
Lu Liang called Jiang Qixin and briefly reported the situation.
"Ensure there's adequate security for the diamond mine; it will be our main source of income from now on.
You and Yang Zi should fly directly to the capital. I'll be waiting for you here. We'll have a welcome feast."
"Thank you, Boss. It's fortunate we had Yang Zi for this. The exploration experts had recommended withdrawing, but if it weren't for Yang Zi, we might have lost this deposit."
"I understand. I'll take care of what he deserves. Your share won't be lacking either."
"Thank you, Boss. If there's nothing else, I'd like to take some time off after we get back."
"You can. You should settle your own affairs too. We'll all relax together when you get back."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qixin made another call.
"Old Cheng, where are you? The provincial capital. When are you coming to the capital? Temporarily no time.
I'm having Yang Zi and the others fly directly to the capital. How about you take some time to come over, we can have a drink together? Alright. I'll wait for you."
"Organize a contract for me. Ten percent from the main company. Yes. The other party is Guo Xuyang. Yes. An individual. Hmm. Bring it to me tomorrow. Okay."
Jiang Qixin also instructed the legal department to draft a share transfer agreement.
Guo Xuyang had saved his life last time, and now he had helped find a rich diamond mine.
This was a debt of gratitude too large to repay, so he decided to transfer ten percent of his shares to Guo Xuyang.
This way, he would not only repay the favor but also tie the other party to his team, achieving multiple objectives with a single stroke.
It had to be said that Jiang Qixin was truly cunning and astute, which explained his booming business.
The next day, the three of them took a flight to the capital.
As usual, Guo Xuyang fell asleep as soon as he boarded the plane.
Guo Xuyang had been utterly exhausted these past few days. Three consecutive nights of high-intensity activity were more tiring than running a marathon.
The taste of pleasure was intoxicating, leaving him unable to stop; perhaps this was his current state.
The plane arrived in the capital in the evening, and Jiang Qixin personally came to pick them up.
Cheng Xiuping and Wu Youzhi also accompanied him.
Wu Youzhi had heard from Cheng Xiuping that Guo Xuyang was returning and specifically drove over.
"Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Guo, you've worked hard," Jiang Qixin said, shaking Guo Xuyang's hand.
"It's not hard, not hard," Guo Xuyang replied.
"Not hard? Look, you've even lost weight from exhaustion," Jiang Qixin remarked.
Guo Xuyang blushed, unsure how to respond.
The unrestrained expenditure of energy these past few nights had indeed been too much; even with the supplements he'd taken, he hadn't recovered.
