Five days later, Xie Jingxi left on a boat. What she did not know was that five days after they left, Gu Yun and Sheng Luan left on another boat.
Gu Yun and Sheng Luan disguised themselves as a merchant and kept a low profile. They dressed in all sorts of costumes and even if Xie Jingxi saw them, she would probably take half a day to keep a low profile, but it was just that life was not easy. Thus, when they were on the boat, the two of them could hide in the cabin and not go out.
Sheng Luan first took off his strange hair style that was on his head. His beard was stuck on, and it was not very good to take it off one by one, it was extremely miserable. He felt that in a few more days, his chin would be able to feel a prickly heat.
”Sigh, Xuanchen, why is it so easy for me to see you? No, I have to change my appearance, can't my beard stick together with you, must I stick together?
The reason why Gu Yun was more relaxed than him was because his face was unfamiliar, and wasn't as famous as the General Sheng. In the nations which were in contact with Great Chen, there were countless people who didn't know about him, and who hated him so much that there were countless of them.
”Why don't you give me a human skin mask? The whole mask will save me a lot of trouble.” Sheng Luan was still struggling in his deathbed. Truthfully, even drinking saliva could cause a beard, it truly affected his appetite.
”Sure, but you have to be mentally prepared. If you bring him along, it will take ten days to half a month, but you might not even be able to protect his handsome face. Pus, rot, pus …”
”Fine, I beg you …” Sheng Luan raised his hand and begged for mercy, ”I almost vomited from drinking water just now, I'll still be like this.”
Gu Yun laid on the bed, preparing to rest his mind, but Sheng Luan pulled him up once again, ”I say, this long road will give you a time to sleep. Since you're still in a good mood, quickly stop sleeping and tell me a joke.”
Gu Yun did not step on him. He was bored to death, so he tried to find something to talk about with, ”Xuanchen, why aren't you chatting with your wife for a year or so?
Gu Yun laughed and looked at him, ”I already saw the two of you arguing just like that, is there any use in talking about it now?” Could there be more he could think about? He was already thinking too much before they were even separated. These two years, the two of them had almost become one. separating at once really wasn't something he was used to.
Sheng Luan poked him, ”Being noisy is being noisy, I really want to, ah, we can't do anything about it, you guys are just making things difficult for me, you came with me, is it not for the sake of finding my eldest nephew's location in private? You have that kind of intention, it's also what she wants, isn't it the same if we go together?”
”What do you know!”
Could it be the same? How could he take her with him when the time came?
Xie Jingxi was in her cabin right now, discussing business matters with the Manager Qi. The Manager Qi looked to be full of energy, with great hope and ambition for the sea, as though what awaited him was a mountain of gold and silver, not the little Luzon Island whose future was unknown.
These two years, Manager Qi was extremely proud of his business and he was no longer worried about Mao Chang's failure and the complexity of the maritime system. He only wanted to raise his Sheng Yuan, and in his eyes, the caution of Manager Lu and Xie Jingxi was akin to fear.
”Thank you, Boss, in my opinion, the reason why Mao Chang was taken advantage of back then was all because they were too reliant on and trusted those people. Originally, no matter if we were going to the Luzon or even the Fu Lang Machine, no one has set a precedent and no one has any confidence at all, but I think that we can personally make a trip and understand the situation regarding Luzon. We do not have to rely on anyone, so we can definitely work together, but the prospects must be very good.”
To be honest, he had to take a look at every single one of them. On one hand, he acknowledged the Manager Qi's judgment and boldness in business, but he also believed in Xie Jingxi's concern for the overall situation.
He crossed his legs and calmly changed the topic, ”Manager Qi, you have more or less come in contact with some of the so-called business people over the past few years, do you think those so-called business people over there are any different?”
The Manager Qi was wearing a goatee, and muttered: ”I never felt anything different. I think it's just some business started by foreigners, and I think there's some people from the Great Chen involved, it's probably because we have taken the initiative, and the scale of the development is not bad, and to put it bluntly, it's all the same everywhere, the pioneering connections are all very important, and the business opportunities from the small place called Luzon, are not bad. Although we were late, we were not restricted by them, so why don't you have any concerns, boss?”
”I feel like my father is right.” Without waiting for Xie Jingxi to speak, a youngster standing in front of the Manager Qi took the lead, his tone sounding as if he was saying the same things as the Manager Qi, and even more so than that, ”After all, in the business world, cowards there is no future, our Great Chen is so great, and business is at least tougher than a little Luzon. A small fight in such a small place would make us feel like the weather, but the reality is so short-sighted, my father has been managing the Sheng Yuan for thousands of miles every day, and even the golden years, what are they trying to do!”
