If you cheat, money will follow

After Chang Le's meeting with Xiao Sa ended, he returned home full of thoughts and described the meeting with Xiao Sa in detail to Jiang Xia.

After finishing the narration, he looked into Jiang Xia's eyes and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Jiang Xia looked at him for a moment, and then said softly:

"Me? Your decision is my decision. If you go, I will go. If you don't go, I won't go."

Her voice was calm, but the firmness and trust it contained made Chang Le feel warm in his heart.

Chang Le smiled softly and said jokingly: "Your answer is as if you didn't say anything."

Jiang Xia also smiled, and she explained: "This is what I really think. I trust your judgment."

Chang Le stopped his smile and asked seriously: "Aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Xia took a deep breath and said frankly: "Afraid? Of course I am afraid. But there are always things in life that we must face and bear. Moreover, I am also proud of you."

Her eyes shone with determination, as if cheering Chang Le up.

"Proud? Why?" Chang Le asked curiously.

Jiang Xia showed a bright smile and replied: "Because you can participate in and influence the international situation. As your wife, how can I not be proud of you? And..." She paused and continued:

"Although it seems dangerous, I have full confidence in you. I believe that the superiors will make careful arrangements to ensure our safety."

She thought for a moment and then added: "I guess the superiors will be inclined to let us go. After all, after many years of development and layout, there are not many opportunities to change the situation. This is indeed a rare opportunity."

Chang Le was infected by Jiang Xia's optimism and bravery, and said softly: "It seems that I really underestimated you before."

Jiang Xia snorted softly and muttered: "You always look down on others. After being with you for so long, I will always learn something from you."

As night fell, Zheng Qiguang brought his son Zheng Peng to Chang Le's home.

Chang Le's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw them.

He knew that his superiors would come to "consult" his opinions, but he didn't expect that it would be Zheng Qiguang who came, and he also brought Zheng Peng with him.

Zheng Qiguang changed his previous serious image and showed a kind smile on his face.

He looked around the villa, and then said to Chang Le with admiration: "Your house is really nice, simple yet stylish, and it fits your personality very well."

Chang Le responded while making tea: "Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for the compliment. I also think this place is very good. The simple design style makes people feel comfortable and peaceful."

He glanced at Zheng Peng, who was standing aside and looked a little reserved, and joked: "Zheng Peng also said that this place is good before, but he refused when I invited him to move here."

Zheng Qiguang glanced at his son and smiled and said, "He's just not as quiet as you. He might get bored if you let him live in such a quiet place."

After speaking, he laughed again, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and harmonious.

When Jiang Xia heard the noise downstairs, she also walked down and greeted Zheng Qiguang and Zheng Peng warmly:

"Hello Uncle Zheng, hello Brother Peng."

Then he sat next to Chang Le.

After everyone was seated, Zheng Qiguang officially entered the topic.

He said in a relaxed tone: "Chang Le, Jiang Xia, I believe you have guessed the purpose of my visit this time..."

"I'm mainly asking you for my personal opinions on going to Riyadh."

"Let me give you a brief explanation first. After receiving this news, we immediately conducted a special study. We have tendentious opinions, but no decisive opinions."

"The meeting agreed that personal opinion comes first."

Chang Le nodded after hearing this, glanced at Jiang Xia beside him, then smiled and said to Zheng Qiguang:

"Uncle Zheng, to tell you the truth, after meeting with him in the afternoon, I discussed it with Jiang Xia."

"Our opinion is that we want to take a look."

"Oh?" Zheng Qiguang was surprised.

"Chang Le..." Zheng Peng was also surprised.

"Uncle Zheng, Zheng Peng, listen to me." Chang Le explained:

"Actually, there is no other reason why I want to go abroad. I just want to go abroad and see the exotic scenery."

"To be ashamed, Jiang Xia has never left the country even once in all the years she has been married to me."

"This time, since the other party took the initiative to invite us, we have fulfilled the other party's wish and also satisfied our own wishes."

After Chang Le finished speaking, Jiang Xia echoed:

"Yes, Uncle Zheng, Brother Peng, I think so too."

"We also know that this decision is a bit reckless and will cause some trouble. Please tell Uncle Zheng tactfully and just treat it as willful on our part."

After Zheng Peng listened, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a moment.

As for Zheng Qiguang, he didn't have much strange expression.

He nodded with pleasure, looked at Chang Le and Jiang Xia with admiration, and said with a smile:

"Haha, they are a couple after all. They think and speak the same way."

Chang Le: "Haha..."

Jiang Xia: "Hehe..."

Zheng Qiguang continued: "Chang Le, Jiang Xia, there are some things you don't need to say explicitly, we will keep them in mind, don't worry."

"As for safety issues, you can rest assured."

"At the meeting, we have made it clear that once we decide to travel, the security level will be upgraded to level three, and detailed route planning and strict handover work will be carried out with the other party to ensure that everything is under control and there will be absolutely no room for error. ." Zheng Qiguang's voice was firm and powerful.

He changed the topic and continued: "Having said that, after many years of continuous development, our country has made great progress in modernization and informatization iteration."

"Coupled with the top technical support from your institute, we believe that safety issues will be guaranteed to the maximum extent."

After hearing this, Chang Le and Jiang Xia nodded solemnly and responded confidently: "Uncle Zheng, we are full of confidence in this!"

"Haha, I'm very confident too." Zheng Qiguang smiled with satisfaction.

He went on to mention another important matter: "In addition, the meeting also conducted in-depth discussions on the procurement issue of intelligent air defense systems raised by the other party."

"In principle, we have agreed to incorporate this project into the overall plan. However, some people have expressed some concerns about it."

After hearing this, Chang Le immediately understood the source of these concerns. He said, "Uncle Zheng, I completely understand these concerns."

"But please rest assured that our research institute has fully taken this into consideration during the R&D and design stage."

"All equipment and devices equipped with artificial intelligence algorithms have a unique function: once they enter the national border, the algorithm will automatically identify them and start a backup program to ensure that they can return the same way."

He further explained: "This is just like what netizens on military forums said, these equipment can identify their own direction, turn around, and even attack each other to ensure our safety."

As night fell, Zheng Qiguang did not stop. He quickly returned and then reported the attitudes and personal opinions of Chang Le and Jiang Xia to the meeting.

There was a brief silence in the conference room, everyone was thinking seriously.

After a moment, a voice broke the silence:

"Comrades, everyone must have heard clearly the words of these two young men, Chang Le and Jiang Xia."

"They understand the general situation so well and take the overall situation into consideration. We should cherish their trust even more."

Then, another voice added: "And according to the latest information we have, although there is no direct action on the surface on the other side, small actions behind the scenes have begun."

"Therefore, I recommend that the security level be raised to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"At the same time." Another voice sounded, "The West B theater must also do a good job in full defense and take this opportunity to demonstrate our deterrence."

There was a chorus of agreement immediately in the conference room:

"totally agree!"

"agree!"

"I agree!"

"Very much agree!"
