"I found a spaceship last year when I went to Basi, but this thing requires a lot of crystals and diamonds.
It runs on crystals and diamonds as its power source," Guo Xuyang said.
"What? You actually have a spaceship?" Jiang Qixin found it somewhat unbelievable.
"You never mentioned this before."
"I knew I couldn't tell you about this, because if I did, you would definitely take it away."
"You could completely let us research the spaceship after you bring it out. We would return it to you after the research is done."
"You say that so easily. It's easy to bring it out, but hard to get it back.
It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust other people.
After all, this thing is too attention-grabbing.
And I don't want to be captured and sliced up."
"You know, you have to trust the organization," Jiang Qixin said, pointing at him with a smile.
"The organization is too vast. It's beyond what an ordinary commoner like me can contend with," Guo Xuyang said, rubbing his nose.
Jiang Qixin knew what Guo Xuyang was worried about, but he didn't say anything more.
Guo Xuyang's concerns were not unfounded. Although he had reached his current position, he truly couldn't guarantee that Guo Xuyang's spaceship would be returned intact.
He was just a screw in the officialdom, and everything existed for the advancement of the vast machine that was the nation.
There were many things that he couldn't control.
"Then why did you choose Tong Xin and Xu Dahai?"
"Tong Xin has experienced danger. The fact that she managed to escape and return shows she is quite capable.
Xu Dahai is capable and possesses strength. I think if he accompanies us on this trip, he will advance further."
"Did Dahai do something to you that makes you want to take care of him so much?"
Jiang Qixin knew that if Xu Dahai truly accompanied Guo Xuyang to find such a rare item, he would definitely receive affirmation from his superiors.
Coupled with his background, it wouldn't be impossible for him to succeed Jiang Qixin in his position.
That was why he asked.
"Nothing, I just feel we click."
"Isn't Xin Dali suitable? He has more experience than Xu Dahai."
"Captain Xin is indeed very capable, but I don't want him to take risks."
Guo Xuyang certainly wouldn't tell Jiang Qixin that Xin Dali was his brother-in-law.
Xin Rui only had Xin Dali as her brother, and he couldn't feel at ease with Xin Dali right now.
After all, he was the one who had gotten his sister into bed.
"Once you choose a profession like this, you can't be hesitant."
"You're right, but as far as I know, Captain Xin only has one sister, and he bears the responsibility of continuing the family line."
"You know about this too. That's right, he's the only man in the family.
But many people in these teams are only children. Who should I look after and who should I not?
As I said earlier, once you choose this profession, there's no reason to turn back.
Either you quit and become a deserter, or you charge forward and dedicate yourself to the end."
Guo Xuyang knew that Jiang Qixin was speaking the truth.
The country, for the sake of development, had made decisions to control population growth, making certain sacrifices during a particular period.
The effects of this decision were obvious, but it also caused various inconveniences.
Many families became bereaved, their children lost for one reason or another.
As for the elderly parents, due to their advanced age and physical condition, they were unable to have more children.
Just as Jiang Qixin said, sacrifices were inevitable, but once this profession was chosen, there was no turning back.
"Director Jiang, I have one more request. Please help arrange for Xin Dali to be transferred out and redeployed locally."
Jiang Qixin was very puzzled by this request from Guo Xuyang. Just after discussing the matter of continuing the family line, he was now asking for Xin Dali's transfer.
The shift in thought was a bit too rapid. He didn't quite understand.
"Did Xin Dali say something to you? Or did someone else say something to you?"
"When I got married that day, I discovered that Xin Dali's sister was Xin Rui.
Xin Rui said her brother had remained unmarried because he was busy with work, let alone having children."
"You and Xin Rui?"
"That's right, exactly what you're thinking."
"You still have that habit, getting involved everywhere. I saw Xiao Hong and Xiao Yu at your place last time too."
"You know I'm soft-hearted," Guo Xuyang said shamelessly.
"Alright, I'll agree to this. But Xin Dali might not be willing."
"That's not my concern. You'll find a way."
"Okay. I promise you. But you have to hand over that spaceship for the relevant departments to study when you return."
"We'll talk about that after I return safely."
"When are you planning to leave?"
"The moment you call Tong Xin and Xu Dahai over, I'll be ready to depart."
"Have you finished with your family matters?"
"Almost. It doesn't matter whether I'm home or not."
"The way you say that makes it sound like you're not very welcome."
"Director Jiang, though what you said isn't pleasant to hear, it's the truth."
"I'll call them right now and have them come to report to you."
"Have them meet me in the provincial capital. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to depart from here," Guo Xuyang said.
Jiang Qixin understood his meaning. If a spaceship were to launch from the capital, it would likely shock the entire world.
"Alright. I'll have them report to you in the provincial capital tomorrow morning."
"Understood. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
"Won't you stay for dinner?"
"No, thank you. I'll head back directly."
"Liangzi called me the other day saying he was planning to get married on May Day and asked me to prepare a big red envelope for him.
He also said you were planning to go to Basi on May 4th to prepare for a grand wedding ceremony?"
"Our country's policy doesn't permit polygamy, so I have to find a way.
No matter what, I have to give those women a proper status."
"You're playing a pretty big game here. I saw several women were pregnant that day, how many of them are yours?"
"That's a difficult question for me to answer.
Several of those women belong to Director Wu, and I don't know who you saw," Guo Xuyang said.
"These children will need household registration, won't they? Haven't you considered that?"
"Don't I have you for that? I believe this isn't a problem for you."
"Kid, you're even targeting me now?"
"With a powerful figure like you, it would be a waste not to use your help," Guo Xuyang said with a cheeky grin.
"Fine, as long as you bring back good stuff for me, let alone registering the children, I'll even help with your wedding arrangements."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. I don't want our elites to be poached by other countries."
"Then you can count on me. I'll definitely bring back good things for you." Guo Xuyang's spirits soared upon hearing this.
"I wish you a safe and swift return."
"No problem," Guo Xuyang said and turned to leave.
