"Upgrade storage ability," Guo Xuyang said.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading the storage ability. The storage ability is now Level One." Yu'er's voice sounded in his mind.
"This upgrade allows me to store any object within a hundred meters."
"Continue to upgrade the storage ability," Guo Xuyang said.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading the storage ability. The storage ability is now Level Two." Yu'er's voice sounded in his mind.
"This upgrade allows me to store any object within a thousand meters."
"Store." Guo Xuyang silently recited. The shared bicycle immediately appeared in his mind.
"Release." The shared bicycle returned to its original position.
He was having a blast, extremely excited.
With these abilities, he believed he would be able to help Yu'er grow quickly.
He finally dozed off groggily just before dawn.
Xiao Yu rubbed her forehead. After several days of intense interrogation, the collusion between Long Linping and Wang Erkang was finally fully investigated. The whereabouts of the abducted women were also found.
In Shanghai, there was a high-end hotel where many beautiful girls were being held captive.
She looked up at the rising sun. Another night had passed.
She stood up but stumbled, nearly falling.
This illness had forced her to transfer to local duties, engaging in such trivial work.
Ankylosing spondylitis, known as the incurable cancer.
Ankylosing spondylitis was induced by a poorly treated gun wound infection. She had never complained. Many of her former comrades were buried in foreign soil; being alive was already a great happiness.
Once, she and her comrades were on a raid mission to rescue an expert kidnapped by enemy agents.
The order from higher command was that the expert must be returned unharmed, no matter the cost.
This was a great challenge for them.
To ensure the mission's success, they devised multiple plans. In the end, they successfully rescued the expert, but at the cost of three comrades and her being wounded while driving.
This expert was the chief designer of nuclear power energy design. He was kidnapped due to spy infiltration.
The mission was completed. Due to her delay in treating her wound while shielding the expert, it led to ankylosing spondylitis, forcing her early transfer to local duties.
She became the deputy captain of the Emergency Brigade and captain of the Emergency Response Team at the provincial bureau.
Unfortunately, her condition worsened, but in certain special circumstances, she still had to personally handle the situation.
Since returning from the southern trip with Guo Xuyang to apprehend Long Linping, she had barely rested, continuously interrogating and seeking breakthroughs.
After Liu Wenli and the thirteen other women returned, they gradually uncovered more clues, eventually getting Long Linping to talk.
They learned that most of the beautiful women were sent to a high-end hotel in Shanghai. These women were all controlled, working as service staff during the day and accompanying guests at night.
Any slight disobedience resulted in beatings or scoldings. They would only be released when they grew old and unattractive, then sold into the international underground market.
She was truly shocked. She never imagined these people could be so wicked, utterly disregarding human life, let alone women's dignity.
Therefore, she decided to go to Shanghai herself to investigate the hotel's situation.
As Xiao Yu reported her plan to go to Shanghai to her superiors, Guo Xuyang and Jiang Qixin had already arrived at the airport.
Yesterday, when discussing with Cheng Xiuping and Wu Youzhi, Wu Youzhi gave him a phone number. He mentioned a friend named Xu Liping who had helped find several shops in Shanghai and advised him to contact her upon arrival.
Guo Xuyang didn't know the relationship between Wu Youzhi and Xu Liping, nor did Wu Youzhi explain. However, from the name alone, he knew Xu Liping was a woman.
What other relationship could a man and a woman have? He wouldn't believe there wasn't some story between them.
However, Guo Xuyang wasn't that nosy. Since Wu Youzhi told him, it meant this person was reliable.
He saved the number on his phone, planning to contact this woman when it was convenient in Shanghai.
His main task now was to see if he could make a fortune with crystals and diamonds with Jiang Qixin. He was truly in desperate need of money.
If all his abilities were to reach Level Nine, he would need a hundred billion to achieve his goal.
Even after deducting ten thousand in merit points, there was still a shortfall of nearly ninety billion. Relying solely on jade to reach his goal would likely collapse the entire market.
Since Cheng Xiuping had introduced him to Jiang Qixin, he was determined to seize this opportunity.
No one dislikes having more money; the more, the better.
This would bring him closer to his goal.
"Mr. Guo, what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought." Jiang Qixin asked.
"Oh, I was thinking about how you manage such a large business, Mr. Jiang. You must have some formidable management strategies."
"That? It's hierarchical management. You can't be involved in every little detail; you have to learn to let go. If you inquire about everything, even an immortal can't manage it all. You just need to grasp the overall direction of the company's development and delegate specific matters to specialized personnel."
"I've just taken over some industries from others, and the management is a mess. I'm having a headache over this."
"You're talking about the industries Xiuping gave you, right? Xiuping told me he greatly admires your abilities, especially regarding his father's situation; he's extremely grateful to you for that.
However, his industries are all mature. You just need to grasp the overall direction, and the specific matters can be handled by your subordinates.
You should gather your subordinates for a meeting. At the very least, they need to recognize you, know you, and also respect you.
This will make your work much easier.
Every man has his own specialty. From what I understand, you are very skilled in selecting raw stones. If you focus on this, you can make a fortune, and people will naturally come to cooperate with you.
You can completely delegate other industries and let them operate independently. You just need to set performance targets and tell them what you want to achieve."
Jiang Qixin's words were like a divine revelation to Guo Xuyang, solving the major problem that had been troubling him. He was indeed the president of a large corporation.
His perspective was unique, seeing the crux of the problem at a glance.
Since taking over the company, Guo Xuyang had been trying to manage everything himself, which was like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree and only brought him trouble.
Through Jiang Qixin's guidance, he knew where his focus should be, and a heavy burden was lifted from his heart.
They arrived in Shanghai close to noon, and someone from Jiang Qixin's company came to pick them up at the airport.
"Mr. Guo, we'll have lunch first, and then we'll go to the company to check on the specific arrangements for the crystals."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang. I'm a guest, so I'll follow your lead. Everything is up to you."
