Ye Zi spoke the truth, but Xia Li and the others couldn't help but overthink. After all, this wasn't a business of a few or tens of billions, but of tens, even hundreds of billions.
As the saying goes, wealth stirs the heart.
One should not harbor ill intentions, but one must guard against them. Xia Li's concerns were not entirely unfounded.
Although their relationship was good now, after Wu Youzhi and Xu Liping got married, they would officially become one family.
If the two of them were to make small moves in the store, whether it was buying low and selling high, or shortchanging the income, these people might truly not be able to guard against it.
Guo Xuyang, of course, was unaware that these people were discussing Wu Youzhi and Xu Liping.
He was currently chatting with Jiang Qixin, Wu Youzhi, and others.
"Mr. Jiang, has the flight to Brazil been booked?"
"It's booked. It's from the oil company, a fifty-seater. Is that enough?"
"It should be enough. There are no outsiders, just family members, Mr. Wu, Fatty, Brother Liang, and their families. It should be sufficient."
"Do we also need to attend the observation?" Jiang Qixin asked.
"You are all busy, so perhaps you don't need to go," Guo Xuyang said.
"What do you mean? Your tone suggests you'll accept the red envelopes but won't let us attend?" Jiang Qixin teased.
"No, I truly didn't mean that. My main consideration for going is the feelings of others.
After Xi and I get married, although these people won't say it, I can see they're not entirely happy.
"You kid, you love them all. Who wouldn't be upset?"
"Mr. Jiang, please stop teasing me. Many times, I am powerless to do otherwise."
"You... the higher-ups are very interested in the spacecraft you brought this time.
However, the technology inside is too advanced, and you'll need to personally guide them.
You need to be mentally prepared for this; don't mess up when the time comes."
"Mr. Jiang, you know me. I was exposed last time. If I go again this time, I'm afraid I'll become the target of public criticism."
"What do you think my bringing Xiao Qi here means? Isn't it to protect the safety of your family?"
"You are right. But even a tiger can doze off. You can't guard against a thief for a thousand days, but a thief can only steal for a thousand days. I'm powerless in this matter."
"Whatever conditions you have, just name them," Jiang Qixin knew Guo Xuyang was waiting to be priced.
"I am truly willing to hand over those spacecraft to the state.
But I am not willing to have my life disturbed.
As you know, I have no grand ambitions. The reason I didn't join the Fourteenth Bureau before was to avoid trouble.
Now, I am even less willing to be disturbed and just want to live a quiet life."
"Sometimes, certain things are beyond our control.
As far as I know, various countries have already dispatched a large number of personnel to infiltrate, making it impossible to guard against.
They still don't know that you were the one who brought those spacecraft."
Jiang Qixin paused his speech.
At this table, besides Jiang Qixin, Guo Xuyang, Lü Liang, Pi Xiaoqian, Cheng Xiuping, and Wu Youzhi, there were also Xiao Qi and a few others.
Xiao Qi and his group were absolutely trustworthy.
But Pi Xiaoqian, Cheng Xiuping, and Wu Youzhi, these three were uncertain.
After all, these involved top-secret state matters.
The more people who knew, the greater the possibility of exposure.
It could pose a significant threat to Guo Xuyang's personal safety.
"We'll discuss this at your place after dinner," Jiang Qixin said after a pause.
"Will our trip to Brazil tomorrow be affected?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"It shouldn't be. The information we have now is that no one knows you did it.
Let's not talk about these matters anymore.
Brother Liang, today is your big day. Congratulations," Jiang Qixin said, raising his wine glass.
"Thank you, Boss. You've been running around for my matters. You've worked hard."
"It's all part of the job. Your wedding has also relieved one of my big worries."
"Thank you for your concern, Boss."
"The current situation has changed. You might not be able to stay in this area for long."
"Boss, please tell me. When called, I will return. Your brothers always remember,"
"Good. Specific actions will be arranged for you."
"Boss, what about us?" Xiao Qi and the others asked upon hearing there was a mission.
"Your current mission is to protect Yang Zi and his family."
"Will we still be accompanying Brother Yang Zi to Brazil this time?"
"What do you think? Didn't I tell you a few days ago?"
"I understand, Boss," Xiao Qi quickly stood up and said.
"Sit down. Don't let others know. Apart from those who will be drivers at the villa, the rest will all join the security company.
Remember, this is a top-secret mission. I believe you all know how to proceed better than I do."
"Alright, Boss. I'll arrange for these brothers to go to the security company after the banquet," Guo Xuyang said from the side.
"That's good to know. Why did I hear yesterday that you all got lost when you returned?"
"We were too happy yesterday and hadn't settled in yet."
"That won't do. It's fine if nothing happens, but if something does, no one can protect you," Jiang Qixin said.
"Understood, Boss. I'll go arrange it now," Xiao Qi said, about to leave.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? Today is Brother Liang's big day. No one would be so foolish as to cause trouble.
Moreover, Brother Liang's colleagues are here, so it's fine," Guo Xuyang quickly stopped him.
"It's always better to be cautious. The infiltration of hostile elements is very severe now. You never know from where they will strike."
"I understand, Mr. Jiang. You are thinking of me and my family, but isn't today a special occasion? We shouldn't ruin Brother Liang's good time."
"Since Yang Zi has said so, let's proceed quickly.
The guests should leave the host in peace. Let's not trouble Brother Liang and his wife any further."
Jiang Qixin said, raising his wine glass.
"Let us collectively wish Brother Liang a happy marriage, a hundred years of happiness, and an early birth of a child."
Everyone responded, and after this drink, the banquet was nearing its end.
The groom's side finished quickly, and the bride's side was not far behind.
When Lü Liang and Xiao Yu were about to start their ceremony, Xiao Yun also came down from upstairs.
"How did things go upstairs?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"Almost finished. I see everyone has started eating," Xiao Yun said.
"Did your family give you any trouble? What did they say about you leaving tomorrow?"
"I didn't tell my family. It's not appropriate to talk about it today."
"Have the other arrangements been made?"
"They have been made. Brother Hui is in charge of the 4s shops, and they won't be coming.
Liu He is in charge of these hotels and guesthouses.
The sales of jadeite compressed in Kyoto and Shanghai have been notified to Mr. Wu and Mr. Pi in advance. Most of the jadeite has been put into safes when they arrive.
Dedicated personnel have also been arranged to be in charge. There shouldn't be any major issues."
Seeing that Xiao Yun had made thorough arrangements, Guo Xuyang knew she was meticulous and didn't say anything further.
