Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 755 Annual salary of fifty million US dollars, work for me!

"Sir, my mission is almost complete."

As they walked out of Moscow International Airport, Xu Ye handed a cell phone to Shadama.

Whether Shadak should contact the relevant departments in Russia directly or contact the personnel he had arranged in advance was no longer Xu Ye's concern.

At this point, even if Saddam Hussein were to reveal his identity, there would be no danger.

At this time, Russia was not yet in an era of frequent "accidents" involving its leaders, especially after it had already clashed with the United States in the Iraq War, and still possessed some deterrent power.

If something were to happen to Shadama in Damao, wouldn't that be like rubbing Damao's face into the ground?

In short, Saddam Hussein can die anywhere, but he absolutely cannot die here in Russia.

"Xu, thank you!"

After taking the phone, Shadama thanked him again solemnly.

After a pause, Shadam hesitated.

Seeing this, Xu Ye became somewhat curious.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

If you're going to help someone, help them all the way through. Besides, Shadak has already promised too much.

Strictly speaking, those planes, whether in real value or directly redeemed from the system store, were nothing to Xu Ye.

But we can't bring it out in the open!
If it were a gift from Saddam Hussein, that would be a different story.

That's why Xu Ye values ​​it so much.

"Xu, could you stay and take charge of my security? I'll pay you 20 million, no, 50 million US dollars a year!" Shadamamu asked, his eyes burning as he looked at Xu Ye.

This experience made him realize how capable Xu Ye was.

A salary of fifty million US dollars a year seems like a lot, and it is indeed a lot. It is higher than that of professional managers in well-known global companies, and it can even be said to be unique.

However, in Shadama's view, this amount of money was nothing compared to his own life safety.

As a former dictator and politician, Saddam Hussein did not believe he was completely safe with Russia.

That's impossible!
Unless he truly has no more feelings for YLK, the United States will never give up on the idea of ​​killing him.

Therefore, personal security becomes of paramount importance.

Besides, Saddam Hussein is already over sixty years old. How many more years can he live?

A salary of 50 million a year is certainly a lot, but for him, if he can live safely to his eighties, it will only amount to 1 billion!

This amount of money meant nothing to him.

If you don't spend it on yourself, you won't be able to spend a single penny when you die. Shadak is very clear about how to choose.

"Sir, I must say, your sincerity has truly touched me. Thank you for your recognition."

At this point, Xu Ye raised his hand to stop Shadama from speaking, and continued, "However, I am a soldier, a soldier of the Dragon Kingdom."

"So, I can only appreciate your kindness in my heart!"

To be honest, Xu Ye was genuinely taken aback by Shadama's extravagant spending.

No wonder she wears a headscarf!
If it were in his previous life, Xu Ye would have been willing to risk his life for Saddam Hussein, let alone an annual salary of fifty million US dollars.

However, at this moment, Xu Ye was only shocked by Shadama's extravagant spending and his high regard for him.

Fifty million US dollars is indeed a fatal attraction for normal people.

However, Xu Ye is no ordinary person!
For such a small amount of money, you expect him to risk his life?

What are you thinking!
What could make Xu Ye willingly risk his life was only this country and this nation, definitely not any particular person.

"Xu, you are a true soldier!"

Seeing that Xu Ye's expression remained unchanged and his tone was very firm, Shadama did not press the issue further. He sighed inwardly and praised him.

Fifty million US dollars is already more than enough. It's not that Saddam Hussein is reluctant to invest more, but he knows it's pointless.

"But don't worry, my promise to you still stands. Just wait for good news!"

Fearing that Xu Ye might misunderstand, Shadamu emphasized it again.

Although, no one was found.

However, the relationship still needs to be maintained.

Moreover, Saddam Hussein is not the kind of person who goes back on his word; at most, it's only a few hundred million dollars, which is far from enough to make him break his promise.

"Thank you!"

This time, it was Xu Ye's turn to express his gratitude.

"Well, sir, we'll meet again someday!"

Xu Ye smiled and waved his hand, then quickly left and disappeared from Shadama's sight.

"Pity!"

Once Xu Ye was out of sight, Shadama sighed and started making phone calls.

Little did he know that, unseen by him, Xu Ye was still protecting him.

The reason for leaving now is that Xu Ye is, after all, a soldier of the Dragon Kingdom, and it's best to avoid contact with Russian officials as much as possible.

Neither of them mentioned this earlier, but they were both fully aware of it.

"mission completed!"

More than an hour later, after Saddam Hussein's car, under the dual protection of Russian official forces and Saddam's private security, entered a luxurious manor in the suburbs, Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

This mission, though short in duration, was incredibly exciting.

Of course, the gains were also enormous.

Not only did I gain over 100,000 Liver Points, but I also received a promise from Shadama.

Xu Ye felt excited at the thought of having those "big toys" soon.

Based on Xu Ye's understanding of Saddam Hussein, this time, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Saddam Hussein will definitely pack up any fighter jets that Russia can export—one of each type!
Although, only a few models are truly advanced.

But Xu Ye would never have too many fighter jets.

Of course, it would be great if they could also give us some "fuel cards," fighter jets consume too much fuel...

Thinking about this, Xu Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

Shaking his head, Xu Ye checked the time and, just as he had come quietly, left without disturbing anyone.

Although, at this time, the surveillance at Moscow International Airport may be very intense.

However, Xu Ye, who was highly skilled and daring, didn't take it to heart at all.

Two hours after leaving Saddam's estate, Xu Ye, now dressed in a completely different manner, boarded a flight to Paris.

Xu Ye did want to fly directly to China, but he couldn't really treat the Russian intelligence department like fools!
So it's better to be cautious and fly to Paris first, then fly back from Paris.

It was a bit roundabout, but it didn't actually take up too much time.

More than ten hours later, when Xu Ye walked out of Wujiaba International Airport, he let out a long sigh of relief.

During this period, public intellectuals were rampant, and many people felt that the grass was greener on the other side.

But whether in his past life or now, every time Xu Ye returns from abroad and sets foot on Chinese soil, he always feels more at ease.

Admittedly, at this time, the security situation in the Dragon Kingdom was still somewhat inadequate.

But at least you don't have to worry about bullets coming from who-knows-where.

To put it bluntly, during this period abroad, especially in YLK, Xu Ye didn't sleep for a single minute. At most, he would close his eyes to rest and recover his energy. It's only because of Xu Ye's currently abnormally abundant energy that someone else might not have been able to keep going.

Being alone offers immense freedom, but it's not without its drawbacks.

At least, in that environment, Xu Ye really didn't dare to sleep.

So, it's still better to be in China!

Even if you fall asleep on a bus or train, at worst you'll lose your wallet, but you won't lose your life.

This time when he returned, Xu Ye didn't have anyone pick him up; he took a taxi and left the airport.

I kind of miss ride-hailing services!
As Xu Ye got out of the taxi, he thought to himself.

It can't be said that he was ripped off, but he did take a roundabout route, and Xu Ye couldn't punish him for such a small matter.

There's no way to change this; we'll have to wait for ride-hailing services to emerge.

Want a complete change?

Well, never mind, unless the taxi industry disappears.

Anyway, until Xu Ye traveled through time, news about taxis overcharging and refusing passengers was still frequently reported.

Shaking his head, Xu Ye memorized the keyword "ride-hailing" in his mind, and with a thought, the door key appeared in his hand.

Opening the gate, Xu Ye saw a clean and tidy yard with well-tended flowers and plants, and nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, both sisters-in-law took it to heart.

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Xu Ye plans to visit both families tonight.

As for tomorrow?

Xu Ye decided to see if there was a chance to meet Han Ziqing's parents.

They've been together for so long, it's time for them to meet each other's parents.

I don't need to do that on my side, but I still need to be polite to Han Ziqing.

As for why we need to see if there's an opportunity?

It wasn't that Mr. and Mrs. Han had a problem with her or didn't like her, but rather that they had to consider Mr. Han's status.

For most people, the Spring Festival is a time for family reunion, a time of joyous celebration.

However, for people like Han's father, the more holidays there are, the less time they have to spend with their families.

I'll call Han Ziqing later and ask her first!

Since he had no luggage to pack, Xu Ye toured the courtyard, which had undergone considerable changes.

The yard we bought later has long since been renovated.

However, this was the first time Xu Ye had seen it, so he took a look while he had some free time.

After all, I'm the owner, I can't be completely clueless!
Soon, Xu Ye was leisurely lying on the recliner in the pavilion in the courtyard, swaying back and forth quite comfortably.

In the winter of Kunming, the temperature was still in the teens, which was extremely comfortable for Xu Ye.

What about the North today?
Where can you find such an environment?!

Lying in the yard?

Your brain must have been frozen solid!
"Chief!"

Xu Ye glanced at his phone, but instead of standing up, he answered it while still swaying unsteadily.

"Have we arrived?"

The General Staff chief asked with a smile.

"Just got home!"

Xu Ye wanted to pat Xiaotian's head right now.

"That's good. Alright, I won't waste any more time. Just wait to receive the award in a while!"

"By the way, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year, so I wish you a happy Chinese New Year in advance!"

Clearly, the leaders and others were very satisfied with Xu Ye's mission this time.

Not to mention, Saddam Hussein even wanted to gift Xu Ye a batch of airplanes as a token of his gratitude, which was an unexpected bonus.

As for the fact that Saddam Hussein offered Xu Ye a $50 million annual salary, Xu Ye didn't hide it and reported it directly.

In short, aside from those things that cannot be said, such as hacking into the US information system, wiping out three US battalions of personnel and equipment, and shooting down eight US fighter jets, absolutely nothing of that can be leaked.

"Commander, I also wish you a Happy New Year and all the best!" Xu Ye quickly offered his blessings.

"Alright, my mission here is over. You can decide when you want to go back to the army!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, the leader checked the time, finished speaking, and hung up the phone.

That's right, this time, if Xu Ye is willing, he can take another long vacation.

Before Xu Ye could continue pacing, his phone rang again; it was Han Ziqing calling.

Clearly, she saw the message he had just sent her.

"Xu Ye, you're back in Chuncheng?"

As soon as the call connected, Han Ziqing's voice, full of surprise, came through.

If Xu Ye hadn't told her beforehand, Han Ziqing would have really thought that Xu Ye had become a scumbag and disappeared!
Even so, as time went on, Han Ziqing's worries about Xu Ye's safety grew day by day.

She comes from a special family, and she knows a lot of things.

Although Xu Ye didn't say it explicitly, Han Ziqing could naturally guess some things.

I don't know exactly what they're doing, but it's definitely fraught with considerable danger.

Now that Xu Ye is back safe and sound, I can finally relax.

"Yes, I just got home!" Xu Ye said softly. "What about you? Why are you still in Beijing? I thought you were already back!"

Today is the 29th of the lunar year, and Xu Ye subconsciously assumed that Han Ziqing had already returned to Chuncheng.

Although she has now been specially recruited.

However, since I'm still a graduate student, the requirements aren't as strict, so it's normal for me to go back early.

By the time Xu Ye realized she hadn't returned yet, she had already boarded a plane back to Chuncheng; there was no time to change her ticket.

Xu Ye had originally thought that Han Ziqing would be quietly waiting for him here, but that was no longer the case, which left him somewhat disappointed.

"Because I've discovered there's so much I need to learn. But I'm arriving in Chuncheng tonight, can you pick me up?" Han Ziqing asked expectantly.

She didn't mention that her supervisor had already approved her leave, but because she was worried about Xu Ye's safety, Han Ziqing chose to distract herself with busy work.

"Of course, no problem. Send me the flight number later!" Xu Ye naturally agreed without hesitation.

Sweet phone conversations always fly by, and the call ended only after Xu Ye heard someone call out Han Ziqing's name on the other end.

I checked the time; more than half an hour had passed.

If it's outside of work hours, they basically chat until their phones run out of battery every time. Han Ziqing's phone runs out of battery, but Xu Ye's phone battery is a system-generated product—its capacity is doubled, and its standby time is extremely long.

The modified Cheetah from before has already been driven by Xu Ye to the Air Force C Division base, so there are no cars here anymore.

As for buying a car?

Xu Ye never even considered that the money on the surface was all finite, so wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy a house?

Of course, more importantly, Xu Ye really didn't find many cars that appealed to him during that era.
