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!"
The young man was called Qi Wei, and was around fourteen to fifteen years old. He was raised by Manager Qi, who was the successor to the family, and when they went out to sea this time, he was brought here to see the world. He was young and arrogant, and was at the age where he was young.
Xie Jingxi would naturally not lower herself to the same level as him, and even Gu Xiaoyu, who was standing in front of him, looked down on Qi Wei, since she said that and her mother was not good, but she did not know if Gu Xiaoyu was good or bad, and did not seem to be angry or happy, and laughed as usual: "Big brother Qi, we are already on the road anyway, so we will know what's good for us if we go, since there's no ship cannon in our eyes, it would not be good if we do not look down on you, big brother Qi."
Qi Wei could feel that he was completely unconvinced by this little girl, but she kept calling him big brother Qi, which made it difficult for him to be serious with a silly little girl, so he scoffed disdainfully at her, and the Manager Qi beside him finally opened his mouth, "Qi Wei, how can you speak like that? The Sheng Yuan is not as strong as your Uncle Lu and Boss, it can't possibly be today, I, Little Zhiyu, know better than you."
Qi Wei unwillingly replied, "Yes, father."
When she returned to her cabin, Gu Xiaoyu finally spoke out of dissatisfaction. Xie Jingxi helped her remove the small hat on her head, and smiled as he pouted, "Who are you trying to talk to, didn't you just hide it pretty well?"
Gu Xiaoyu laid on her body for a while before she smiled and said, "That's not it, I feel like I have two pig-like teammates, I'm not that happy."
"Oh?" Xie Jingxi became interested, "You should be talking about how she became your pig of a teammate."
"Don't you understand? Humans are always short-sighted when they get arrogant, and they won't be able to get far from bad luck soon. I'm not saying that they are useless, but I feel that Luzon Island might not be as simple as they think."
"Tell mother what we, Ah Yu, know about it!"
I don't know, but I can tell you that Mao Chang didn't just fall into our hands, but also that they were the ones to reap the rewards. Could it be that they planned to borrow our hands, or anyone else's, and swallow Mao Chang up?
In the past few years, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she had come into contact with many things, and she had not kept the matters of the Sheng Yuan business secret from, and sometimes, she would even discuss a few things with her. Although he did not expect her to have any use for him, it was enough to cause her to get used to thinking.
"Your consideration of the overall situation is right. No matter who it is, you must not underestimate him. Also, your Uncle Qi is a talented businessman. There are many things you must learn from him, so you must not underestimate him." Xie Jingxi did not continue discussing business with her, but asked her another question, "Your Brother Qi is a few years older than you, so he knows more than you. I think even you and Brother Sheng Tong are different, why do you dislike him?"
"Hmph, I just don't like his arrogant eyes. Even Sheng Jin is stronger than him, I'm acting on behalf of Uncle Qi.
"Just now you said you can't underestimate me. This child, Qi Wei, is very smart and smart, just young and vigorous. In the future, you'll be fine after grinding it for about two years. You look so small, but you want to be irreconcilable with others."
Gu Xiaoyu turned her head, and that little imposing aura that always suppressed others came out, "Let me tell you, Mother, it's hard to change one's nature, so I'll just tolerate it like that, can you raise him well? In any case, if he ever takes Sheng Yuan to the moat, I definitely won't let him go!"
He's quite capable.
Furthermore, mother, do not compare Brother Sheng Tong with him. Other than looking soft on the outside, the goods in my stomach can easily be dumped on the street. To put it bluntly, he is a hypocrite with a lot of bad intentions.
Who knew that she would have such sharp eyes, Xie Jingxi angrily pinched her nose, "You are just a ghost spirit, say these words in front of your big brother Sheng Tong, if he doesn't beat you up, and furthermore, even if he has ten thousand tricks up his sleeve, he still won't be able to do anything to you, don't you dare not say you don't know what's good for you!"
"I know I know, I was just thinking about him. I don't plan to go back and bring him good stuff, but when will I arrive? Ah Yu is so bored!"
The long journey was long, and it had just started. The closer they were to the Luzon, the more Xie Jingxi couldn't help but imagine Zhian's current appearance, could he really be at the Luzon, was he as weird as Ah Yu, or would he be as reserved as Sheng Tong, or could she immediately recognize him?
