Chapter 376 I Want to Go Back Home

In the final competition, the top two places were both students from China.

He Jiliang was very proud - but our fifth uncle was able to keep his composure, fully embodying the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, not being arrogant when winning and not being discouraged when losing.

Anyway, I can't let those foreigners see that I'm already feeling proud!
After the competition, He Jiliang looked calm rather than ecstatic. Only the slight blush on his face showed that he was happy rather than depressed.

At the door of the return bus, He Jiliang was blocked by Commissioner Mao Xiong.

Commissioner Mao Xiong was tall and fat. He directly blocked the car door, then held He Jiliang's hand and turned into a circus acrobatic bear. His attitude was extremely enthusiastic and his movements were humorous and funny. He chatted with He Jiliang for more than ten minutes.

He made an extreme drift and U-turn with the previous attitude.

He even talked about the traditional friendship between the two countries that started from the previous Soviet Union!

Their "Ice Queen" Olga was standing not far away.

Olga's appearance is not considered a top beauty, but it is definitely above 8 points. Moreover, she is a top professional in the world, with a cold and arrogant temperament, a slender figure, and perfect proportions.

At this moment, she was standing proudly on the side of the road, her legs round and straight, and a lady's cigarette between her slender white fingers.

Before leaving, Mao Xiong winked at He Jiliang and said, "I'll introduce Olga to you some other day."

The intention is self-evident.

He Jiliang was startled and quickly lowered his head to get into the car, not even daring to look at Olga in the distance.

He Xu had already gotten into the car, and he hid inside, listening quietly with his ears perked up.

The last sentence rang clearly in his ears.

As soon as He Jiliang got in the car, He Xu burst into laughter.

He Jiliang glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

He Xu straightened his clothes and sat up straight: "Uncle Wu, if you have this attitude, I will have to have a good talk with my Aunt Wu when we return home."

"What are you talking about? What do I have to be afraid of? If you don't do bad things in your daily life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night! You are a junior, do you think your fifth aunt will believe anything you say?"

He Jiliang spoke righteously and without any fear.

But there's a lot of talk.

He Xu sneered and glanced outside the car, where a certain cold and arrogant beauty was putting out her cigarette with her high heels.

He Jiliang sat back in his seat without looking around.

Everyone got on the bus. The driver had just started the bus when suddenly Commissioner Paris rushed out from the side of the road, waving his arms to block the bus. His big face was full of smiles, and he shouted enthusiastically: "He——"

The driver braked suddenly and almost hit him.

Commissioner Paris stuck his head into the car door and shouted to He Xu across the aisle, "He, we have prepared some local gifts and will send them to your room tomorrow."

Then he shrank back and gestured to the driver: "Drive, Mr. Driver, you guys go back to the hotel first."

He Jiliang smiled, turned his head and looked out the car window to see Commissioner Paris and several of his subordinates standing on the side of the road, waving goodbye.

He Jiliang also waved in response.

Along the way, He Jiliang's mobile phone kept receiving various text messages. Except for the countries with the closest relations with North America, the members of other countries all expressed their congratulations and hoped that there could be more cooperation between them.

Lao He kept replying to calls and messages, and finally stopped pretending, with a smile harder to suppress than an AK.

The five students have been singing and dancing excitedly since the end of the competition.

They sat in the back of the bus and could hear singing along the way.

Only Zhang Qingxiang and He Xu were relatively calm, after all, they knew the result before the game.

Zhang Qingxiang quietly told He Xu: "Take the five of them back to the country and use the secret item to erase all their memories of that cultivation method."

He Xu nodded and said seriously: "I understand, I will definitely take care of it."

He Xu witnessed with his own eyes Bruce and the others practicing in the mysterious scene. In addition to Bruce, there were two other students who all reached the third level in one breath!
The remaining two people were not far behind, it was just that they didn't have enough time.

He Xu was very excited when he saw the speed of progress.

Moreover, He Xu witnessed five students whose infection values ​​were seriously exceeded and their bodies were in a horrible state of mutation!
They were finally saved by a secret medicine.

More importantly, when they were practicing, they were guarded by He Xu, who was countless times more powerful than them.

If one practices this method alone in a mysterious scene or secret realm, it will inevitably turn out strange.

But with this kind of cultivation speed, how many people can resist the temptation?
Once this version of the practice method is leaked, it will really spread harm.

Then Zhang Qingxiang looked back at the five excited students behind the car, and said to He Xu, "The General Administration has a secret item that can cleanse memory without any damage. Go and apply for it."

"it is good."

……

Back at the hotel, He Jiliang deliberately stayed until the last to get off the car, then pulled He Xu aside and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of your Fifth Aunt!"

"Haha!" He Xu sneered, seeing through the countless cowardly people.

He Jiliang was anxious: "I really don't have that intention! Mao Xiong's woman is divorced, I don't like this..."

He Xu immediately seized the opportunity: "You like her even though you've never been married? Then go talk to the Russians and ask them to find you a new candidate."

"I'm not..." He Jiliang was so angry that his words were confused, but he suddenly calmed down and his eyelids drooped: "Okay, tell me your conditions."

He Xu smiled and said, "Let me drive the old man's spare car for three years."

"Just go and tell your Fifth Aunt." He Jiliang turned and walked away: "Your Fifth Aunt can at most scratch my face, but your grandfather can break my legs!"

"Hey, hey, hey," He Xu chased after him: "One year, one year is okay?"

"Three months, at most. And you can't drive out of the city. If your grandfather needs the car, you have to promise to drive it back to me at any time."

"Half a year..."

The two men bargained, and Zhang Qingxiang gestured to them from the front, asking them to pass. The two men quickly reached an agreement and went forward together.

The three of them entered the hotel room to make sure there were no eavesdroppers. Zhang Qingxiang told He Jiliang: "For those countries that have the intention to cooperate, we should negotiate with them now and preliminarily agree to their conditions. We can even offer some relatively favorable conditions."

He Jiliang was stunned. The calls and messages just now were basically from members of various countries, who expressed their intention to strengthen cooperation in the name of "congratulations".

All they care about is the interests of the Academy of Nations.

He Jiliang responded to all of them calmly and did not give a clear answer to any party.

One reason was that from now on, it would be these countries that would beg him, and they should be the ones who were anxious. The other reason was that he couldn't make the decision, and many things needed to be discussed with the General Administration and Zhang Qingxiang.

He Jiliang asked tentatively: "Do you want to discuss this with the General Administration?"

Zhang Qingxiang said: "I have discussed this with Mr. Bai, and he completely agrees with my opinion."

Then Zhang Qingxiang quickly explained: "Don't forget, a few days ago you were still discussing with the Russian bear about starting a new business. We can do this, and the North Americans can do this too!

Now we must agree to the conditions of each country as soon as possible, and the conditions must be more favorable. Before Riddick Bowe can react tonight, we must pull these countries onto our ship!"

He Jiliang slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

It would be very difficult for China to set up a new school outside of the Academy of Nations, but it would be easy for North Americans to do so!
However, North Americans have always been stingy and mean to their allies. As long as China can offer favorable conditions in advance tonight, the North Americans will encounter great resistance when starting a new business.

But He Jiliang still has a concern: "But the Wan Guo Academy is like a piece of cake. There are only so many benefits in total. If we give them all to others, there will be nothing left for us.

We have worked so hard and paid so much, we can't end up with a business that loses money but gains publicity, right? "

Zhang Qingxiang smiled apologetically: "Fifth Uncle, I'm sorry to ask you to take the blame for this matter."

"Hmm?" He Jiliang still didn't quite understand, but he was very aware: "Don't be embarrassed, just tell me what you can do. As long as it helps China and Ah Xu, I'll take the blame!"

"Tonight we have only reached a preliminary cooperation intention. All the conditions are your personal verbal promises to the members of various countries..."

Zhang Qingxiang just started and He Jiliang understood immediately.

"First, we will use these favorable conditions to lure these countries. If the North Americans come to them to discuss starting a new country tomorrow, and the conditions they offer are not as good as ours, these countries will most likely not agree.

When the North American plan fails and we officially start negotiations with other countries, I will apologize to everyone at the negotiation table and tell them that I cannot meet the conditions I promised. The Secret Security Bureau can impose some severe punishment on me, such as demotion, hahahaha!"

He Xu burst out laughing.

Zhang Qingxiang has even thought of some details: "Fifth Uncle, when you discuss with the committee members of various countries later, you can promise the same part of the benefits to multiple countries.

This way, we can be more proactive during future formal negotiations.

Let’s talk about our agreement: You all want this benefit, and we can’t satisfy you all at the same time.”

He Jiliang clapped his hands: "Cunning - ah, no, clever!"

He Xu grinned at the side: "It's cunning, that's right, hehehe."

He Jiliang immediately went to carry out the plan.

Half an hour ago, members of various countries took the initiative to "contact" He Jiliang, but the middle-aged Chinese man had a lukewarm reaction, which made members of various countries feel itchy but helpless.

Now the middle-aged uncle from China suddenly became enthusiastic and proactive, they were flattered, so the two sides quickly got closer and their feelings heated up rapidly!

……

The moment the Chinese students won the championship, Riddick Bowe was furious. He kicked over his own chair and without congratulating the winner, he turned around and walked away with the North American team without any grace.

Someone saw him having an argument with North American candidate Joruus on the road. Riddick Bowe allegedly insulted Joruus with rude language. Joruus almost started a fight but was stopped by the mysterious agency agents around him.

Then when getting on the car, because Luo Yuanhui accidentally touched him, he punched and kicked Luo Yuanhui.

Luo Yuanhui didn't dare to fight back. He huddled up beside the wheel with his head in his hands.

After returning to the hotel, Riddick Bowe was still furious. He rushed to the delegations of Daying and Neon and scolded the representatives of the two countries and their candidates severely.

Kobayashi Shiji was wearing traditional Japanese clothing, his fists tucked into his wide sleeves were clenched so tightly that his nails had dug into his flesh.

He lowered his head, endured Riddick Bowe's humiliation, and repeatedly reminded himself: For the sake of the empire, be patient!
A few hours later, Riddick Bowe, whose plan had failed miserably, returned to his room and got drunk with Benita, his "own person" who had been comforting him.

Benita secretly bought a night for He Jiliang.

The next morning, all the campaign teams were preparing to return. After Riddick Bowe sobered up, he regained his sanity and immediately thought of a solution. He quickly contacted Da Ying and Neon, and after an insincere apology, he revealed his true intention: we should build another academy.

Da Ying and Ni Hong didn't dare to object, of course we had to do whatever Dad said. We could do whatever Dad wanted.

Riddick Bowe then continued to contact other commissioners.

Of course, these members did not dare to refuse directly and all expressed their willingness to join, but we need to discuss the specific plan.

Until this time, Riddick Bowe felt that his plan was progressing smoothly. When he returned from North Africa and the countries officially started negotiations, he found that the attitudes of various countries were not right, and no agreement was reached after several rounds of talks.

On the contrary, the construction progress of the Academy of Nations is very rapid, and all countries are fully cooperating.

These are all things for later.

……

According to the original plan, the college was to be located in North Africa.

This position is the result of compromise among all parties.

The candidate for dean has been confirmed to be He Xu, and He Xu and most of the people in the campaign team will stay to prepare for the construction work.

Paris also left his campaign team behind to cooperate with He Xu.

They had already received a promise from He Jiliang that Paris's original candidate would become vice president.

But before that, everyone has to go back to their home country, settle their affairs at home, and hand over the work at hand.

Before leaving, everyone had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. When they were almost done eating, Luo Yuanhui, wearing a baseball cap, trying his best to cover the bruises on his face, hurried past their table.

Zhang Qingxiang, who was sitting on the outermost side, felt a stir in his heart and felt that there was an extra mobile phone in his coat pocket!
Zhang Qingxiang remained calm. After dinner, everyone went straight to the airport. In the car, he handed the phone to He Jiliang: "Luo Yuanhui sent it."

He Jiliang was surprised: "That traitor?"

Zhang Qingxiang smiled mysteriously: "Wait and see what he has to say."

The phone was a Chinese brand mobile phone purchased locally in North Africa, which had the greatest possibility of bypassing North American monitoring.

From the time we arrived at the airport and boarded the plane, until we landed in Beijing, there was no movement from the phone.

He Jiliang and Zhang Qingxiang went straight to meet Mr. Bai and reported their experience in detail.

Bai Lao nodded and gave affirmative instructions: "You are doing the right thing."

He Xu took five students to the General Administration to borrow the precious secret object to cleanse their memories.

It was around seven in the evening when the cell phone suddenly rang.

He Jiliang quickly called Zhang Qingxiang, who lived next door, and the two sat on either side of the phone. Zhang Qingxiang lightly touched the screen and answered the call.

"Hello, I'm Luo Yuanhui."

He spoke Chinese this time, but his accent was a bit awkward and very unskillful.

Zhang Qingxiang signaled He Jiliang to speak.

"Hello, I'm He Jiliang."

"Hello," Luo Yuanhui asked straight to the point, "I want to know, if I want to go home, will the motherland still accept my family?"

Although He Jiliang was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help frowning. He looked at Zhang Qingxiang, who nodded to indicate that he had full authority to handle the matter.

He Jiliang took a deep breath and asked, "Why?"

Luo Yuanhui sighed: "We are discriminated against here."

He Jiliang said: "I need to report to the higher-ups."

"No problem. I'll call you again at this time tomorrow. Please tell the motherland that I will show my sincerity."

"Ok."

Then both parties hung up the phone, and the first contact ended so simply.

He Jiliang was extremely excited: "Luo Yuanhui is a senior executive in North America. If he is willing to come back... I can't even imagine it! I will report to Mr. Bai immediately."

Zhang Qingxiang just nodded.

When Mr. Bai heard the news, his eyes sparkled, but he was much calmer than He Jiliang: "This matter must be handled properly!"

"We certainly welcome Luo Yuanhui to come back, but he is doing well in North America and holds a high position of power. Why does he want to come back suddenly?"

"And in the eyes of North Americans, he is a defector, which has too much influence. If it is not handled properly, it will be a disaster!"

He Jiliang nodded: "I'll go investigate first."

He Jiliang soon found out the reason, and he even felt a little sympathy for Luo Yuanhui: "He is also a senior executive in North America, but he was beaten in public by Riddick Bowe, which was a disgrace!
After Riddick Bowe returned to North America, he did not receive any punishment for this incident.

I just apologized to Luo Yuanhui privately under the order of the commander-in-chief!"

In addition to this incident, He Jiliang also found out: "He and his two sisters have been discriminated against in school since they were young, even though their family is very rich and they attend aristocratic schools."

"I think it's normal for Luo Yuanhui to want to come back under these circumstances. After all, the motherland is strong now, and it's completely different from when they left."

After listening to his report, Bai Lao nodded and looked at Zhang Qingxiang: "Xiao Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Qingxiang said calmly, "He said he would show his sincerity - let's call him in the evening and see how he shows his sincerity."

Bai Lao nodded slowly.

At the same time yesterday, the phone rang again.

This time, there was another person sitting next to the phone, Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai just listened without saying anything, and left the entire conversation with Luo Yuanhui to He Jiliang.

"Hello, Mr. Luo."

"Hello, Chief He," Luo Yuanhui asked, "Do you have good news for me?"

"In principle, we welcome Mr. Luo and his family back," He Jiliang said. "We are very indignant and sympathetic to the unfair treatment Mr. Luo and your family have suffered in North America. But we do need you to show your sincerity first."

Luo Yuanhui was silent for a moment, then said, "I have some information that I'm willing to give to you. Please arrange a safe channel."

He Jiliang was already prepared: "Tomorrow at 1:30 pm, you can go to the coffee shop you often go to near your home, and someone will contact you."

The person sent will not only take away the information, but also give Luo Yuanhui a special mobile phone to ensure that it will not be monitored.

……

Luo Yuanhui didn't call again for the next three days.

But in fact, he got the information at 1:30 p.m. and it was on Mr. Bai's desk at 2 a.m. the next day.

Zhang Qingxiang and He Jiliang, who had already fallen asleep, were called up. Zhang Qingxiang didn't care, but He Jiliang washed his face, forced himself to be alert, and appeared in front of Mr. Bai.

"This is a list of the Russian bear's spies lurking in North America."

"These spies have been hidden for a long time, but no one has arrested them. Instead, they have been used to release false information to the Russian bear."

He Xu frowned: "Why give us this list? Is Luo Yuanhui using this to show his sincerity?"

Zhang Qingxiang said: "With Luo Yuanhui's identity, it is impossible for him to get access to any secrets related to China in North America.

It was reasonable for him to come up with this list.

Moreover, we can start international intelligence cooperation and use this list to exchange intelligence related to us from the Russian bear. "

Mr. Bai also nodded: "Ji Liang, you have never done intelligence work, so it's normal that you don't know the ins and outs of this."

But Old Bai couldn't help but look up to Zhang Qingxiang. This young man had never done intelligence work before, and he was younger and had less experience, but he could think of this possibility immediately. He was indeed quick-witted.

"This time in North Africa, Uncle Wu had several dealings with Commissioner Mao Xiong, so this line can be used."

He Jiliang nodded quickly.

But Mr. Bai waved his hand: "This is not a matter of the mysterious field, let's not interfere too much. I have forwarded the list to the relevant intelligence departments, and they will verify the authenticity of this list with the Russian bears."

……

There was no news coming back from the Russian bear yet, and three days later Luo Yuanhui called for the third time.

"Commander He, did you get the things?"

“We need time to verify.”

"No problem, but I got something unexpectedly yesterday, and I believe the motherland will be very interested in it. You can send someone to pick it up tomorrow, at the same time and place."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Lao frowned: "He seems very anxious."

He Jiliang asked hurriedly: "Something suspicious?"

Old Bai shook his head and said nothing more.

Just two hours later, news broke out in North America that a super consortium was planning to acquire Luo Yuanhui's family's company!

"No wonder..." He Jiliang suddenly realized.

This second piece of information is more valuable than the first one, and it contains all the parameters of a certain high-tech weapon in North America.

General Bai called together Zhang Qingxiang and He Jiliang and asked for their opinions: "Do you think Luo Yuanhui is trustworthy?"

He Jiliang couldn't help but be a little greedy: "After all, he is a descendant of Yan and Huang, and he has our blood in his bones. Over the years, they have tried their best to integrate into the ethnic group, but they have been blocked everywhere and even bullied. They should be discouraged, right?
Moreover, our domestic conditions were not good before, but now that we have developed, they should be sincere in wanting to come back.”

Old Bai did not comment on this opinion and looked at Zhang Qingxiang again.

Zhang Qingxiang said without hesitation, "It's fake."

"I absolutely do not trust people like Luo Yuanhui!"
