"Mr. Guo, are you alright?" Cheng Liguo asked.
"I'm fine. I just exerted too much force just now and need to rest for a while."
"Xiuping, Xiuping," Cheng Liguo called out loudly.
"Yes, coming. Dad, what is it?"
"Mr. Guo needs to rest well. You take him to a room to rest for a while."
Cheng Xiuping was about to help Guo Xuyang up, but Guo Xuyang refused.
"President Cheng, don't move me. Let me rest, I'll be fine in a bit."
Seeing Guo Xuyang say this, Cheng Xiuping did not help him.
"Brother, what happened?"
"Nothing. I just exerted too much force. Let me recover for a bit."
"Okay. I'll get you a cup of hot water, you rest well."
Guo Xuyang waved his hand and said nothing more.
He really didn't have the strength to speak anymore.
Combing through Cheng Liguo's body was more tiring than changing Jielinna's skin.
It was very simple for Jielinna to change her skin color, it was just a matter of reshaping.
Combing through Cheng Liguo's body was more troublesome.
Mainly, his body's texture had aged. He couldn't be reshaped, only combed through. He dared not change too much.
If he were reshaped to make him younger, it would have been easier, but that would have greatly increased the chance of his abilities being exposed.
Guo Xuyang did not want to expose his abilities in front of so many people for now.
When Cheng Xiuping brought the water to Guo Xuyang, he drank a mouthful without caring if it was too hot.
With the hot tea in his stomach, Guo Xuyang was once again revitalized.
This stunned Cheng Xiuping. The boiling hot water had just been poured out, and Guo Xuyang drank it all up in a few gulps.
"Brother, slow down, don't burn yourself."
"It's alright. I feel much better now. Old man, you stand up and move around, see how you feel?"
"I have more energy than before. And my eyesight is no longer blurry, and my head doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good. Don't read for too long in the future, go out and exercise more."
"I'll remember that, Mr. Guo," Cheng Liguo said.
"Xiuping, arrange for someone to cook a couple of dishes. We'll have a drink at noon."
"Old man, it's not necessary. We'll be going back now."
"It's already noon, you can't leave. Stay and chat with this old man."
Guo Xuyang saw that he really couldn't refuse and agreed.
"Old man, then we'll be imposing on you."
"Don't be so polite. Speaking of which, this is our first time meeting.
Last time Xiuping asked me to find someone to vouch for you, saying you were framed.
I was still hesitant, but it seems I didn't make a mistake."
"Yes. Thank you, old man. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do.
At that time, I was completely in the dark and couldn't find anyone else to help."
"Power, in the hands of some people, has become a private tool, doing whatever they please.
This is all due to regulatory loopholes in the system. Reform is imperative."
The two chatted happily, from power to economics, from local to global. They found they had more and more in common and felt they met too late.
"Dad, Yangzi, Xiaoxi, it's time to eat."
"Let's go. Let's eat. We were so engrossed in our conversation that it's past mealtime."
Cheng Liguo said, standing up.
The meal was simple, just home-style dishes, filled with the taste of home.
"Mr. Guo, since you adjusted my body, I feel energized, my thinking is very clear, and my eyesight is better. Come, I'll toast you."
Cheng Liguo raised his wine glass and said.
"Old man, I can't accept this. I'll toast you."
Guo Xuyang quickly stood up and said.
The meal was very harmonious.
After eating, Guo Xuyang and Li Minxi took leave of Cheng Liguo and Cheng Xiuping and returned.
After Guo Xuyang and the other person left, Cheng Liguo said to Cheng Xiuping, "Xiuping, you must cultivate a good relationship with Mr. Guo. His potential is unfathomable."
"Dad, I understand." Cheng Xiuping replied, not telling Cheng Liguo about Guo Xuyang's many wonders.
And precisely because he omitted this, he lost the best opportunity to become a domestic tycoon in the future.
"Yangzi, what were you guys talking about just now? It was all so vague, I didn't understand a thing," Li Minxi said.
"The old man was testing me."
"You seemed to be having a good time chatting?"
"Absolutely. Because I'm very powerful. Hahaha."
"So smug. When are you going back to the capital?"
"Things here won't be finished anytime soon. My main focus will be on the provincial capital from now on, and I can't go to the capital for the time being."
"Hmm. I think the environment here is quite good. When I come back, I'll bring my company here."
"What are you doing? What are you thinking?"
"I'm not thinking about anything, I just want to be with you."
"Xiao Yun is here, aren't you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of? You're unmarried and I'm unmarried, what is there to be afraid of?
Besides, even if you were married, what's the big deal? I still believe in my own charm."
"You're so full of yourself. Aren't you afraid I'm a scumbag?"
"I like this kind of scumbag, it's more manly."
"Get lost."
Guo Xuyang suddenly realized that he had been ensnared by this girl.
Like a sticky plaster, once it sticks, it can't be peeled off.
The two of them went directly to the King's Villa.
Guo Xuyang wanted to retrieve all the jade from his mind.
"Xia Li, did Mr. Wu give you all the invoices?" Guo Xuyang asked as he entered the King's Villa.
"Mr. Wu gave them to me last night after we returned, and I have entered them all this morning," Xia Li said.
"Hmm. A total of eight hundred and eighty-nine pieces, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Guo."
"Now go and shut down all the surveillance, and then wait for my instructions," Guo Xuyang said.
"If something unexpected happens, we won't be able to know?"
Xia Li was very confused by Guo Xuyang's order.
"Do as I say."
"Alright." Xia Li picked up the phone.
"I'll shut down the surveillance here. Yes. You stay put. Okay, that's all."
After Xia Li finished the call, she clicked a few times on the computer with her mouse, and all the surveillance was immediately shut down.
"Out," Guo Xuyang murmured, and moved the raw stones collected from the Pakan pit out and placed them in the warehouse.
The entire warehouse was instantly piled high with raw stones.
"Out," Guo Xuyang moved the collected jade out and placed them in four large safes on the second basement level.
However, the safes were already full. There were still many raw stones and jade in his mind.
He had basically collected all the raw stones and jade from the Pakan pit that time.
"Alright, you can turn the surveillance back on now," Guo Xuyang said to Xia Li.
"Ah? Okay." Xia Li was completely bewildered.
She didn't know what possessed Guo Xuyang to ask for the surveillance to be turned off and then back on.
She used the mouse to turn on all the surveillance and simultaneously informed security that all surveillance had resumed normal operations.
As soon as the surveillance was restored, the phone rang.
"Speak." Xia Li answered the phone and said.
"Manager Xia, the stones in our warehouse are full. They weren't full just now," the security guard's voice came through.
"How is that possible?" Xia Li felt what the other party was saying was preposterous and quickly switched the camera to the warehouse.
Her mouth hung open. This was simply incredible.
