Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 514 - 329: Wendong’s Care

A dozen minutes later, Old He returned to the office, closed the door, and redialed Ma Chaoyang’s phone number.

As soon as the call connected, Ma Chaoyang’s anxious voice whispered, "Teacher, Li Biao and his team were captured alive by Guo An’s men!"

Old He’s grip on the phone tightened suddenly, but his face showed no hint of panic.

He leaned back in his leather chair behind the desk, glancing out the window, his voice still calm: "What are you panicking about?"

"When did this happen?"

"Not even half an hour ago!"

Old He frowned slightly and slowly spoke: "He knows what to say and what not to say."

"But... what if he can’t withstand the pressure..." Ma Chaoyang’s voice was urgent, clearly revealing his panic inside.

Although the teacher seemed as composed as always, appearing to have everything under control, he could no longer provide sufficient reassurance.

Because he knew very well that ever since Qi Yun was forced to be released, the entire situation had gradually slipped out of their control.

"Teacher, the investigation team has already started thoroughly investigating the matter from two years ago, and Qi Yun must have handed over the materials to them!"

"Now Li Biao has been captured... he knows too much! If he spills, I’m finished!" Ma Chaoyang’s voice grew more urgent, even carrying a hint of pleading, "Teacher, maybe I should leave first! I’ve already sent my family to Altai for a vacation. As long as I can get out, I’ll never return!"

"Leave?" Old He sneered, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm, "If you try to run now, it’s as good as confessing."

"Do you think the investigation team isn’t watching your family’s movements? Or do you think they’ll let you leave at this time? Where do you think you can run to?"

These successive soul-searching questions hit Ma Chaoyang like a heavy hammer, plunging the office into silence, filled only with the sound of heavy breathing.

How could he not know what the teacher was saying? He obviously understood; being in this position, he had encountered similar situations too many times.

Even during public speeches, he had used these arguments to teach others not to act rashly and not to harbor any faint hopes...

Yet, when it came to him, he behaved just like those who had already stepped inside a sewing machine prison, whether there was a chance or not, at least attempting to escape first, refusing to wait idly for the inevitable.

Old He seemed to perceive his thoughts, sternly warning, "If you dare to leave Bird City, what awaits you will not be a summons, but handcuffs!"

"The more this situation escalates, the calmer you must remain! Don’t lose composure!"

Ma Chaoyang involuntarily twitched his eyelids, further tightening his already tense nerves.

He certainly knew that it was hard to escape now, but being constantly enveloped by that sense of panic nearly suffocated him.

"But... but what about Li Biao?"

"Teacher, maybe you could... ask the S Bureau to intervene and retrieve him?"

Hearing such nonsensical remarks from the other end, Old He’s head felt twice as heavy; it was obvious that his student had completely lost his bearings, even losing his fundamental ability to think.

He leaned against the back of his chair, fingers lightly tapping the desk, creating a "thok thok" sound, as if he was making a firm decision.

After a long pause, he muttered, "Leave this matter alone, stay in your office honestly, and leave the rest to me."

...

PM, Beijing.

Inside the study, after a busy day, Wendong placed several documents on the desk and pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down."

Qi Yun obediently pulled the chair and sat down.

"Boy, you used Kongjun Base to receive lithography machines? Why didn’t you say so directly at the time?" Wendong asked casually while twisting his thermos cup.

Qi Yun chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, Leader, not everything was settled then, I was afraid that if something unexpected happened, it would cause false joy."

Wendong nodded: "Not rushing or hesitating is a good quality. You’re right, the lithography machines are too sensitive. Until they’re thoroughly in our hands, it’s indeed not wise to announce anything."

"I’ve already arranged for the guards at Kongjun Base, the goods will temporarily be stored in the warehouse, watched over 24 hours until the people from T Baside arrive, then they’ll be transferred to the research institute."

"Yes, the leader has considered everything comprehensively." Qi Yun timely praised.

Wendong’s face showed a faint smile as he glanced at him: "Alright, I called you over to talk about the Oil Country matter."

"I’ve already exchanged opinions with several departments in the afternoon, and everyone supports the transaction in principle, so it should be promoted quickly."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Fu Wentao had assured him that there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance, if there was resistance, he would coordinate with those people.

But without hearing direct confirmation from above, there was always a burden on his mind.

"Oil Country plans to purchase Beidou’s authorization under the guise of a photovoltaic project. They informed me that you’ll form a joint venture subsidiary with the Guozhi Committee to handle photovoltaic project matters."

"I talked with the Oil Country people about this, and they plan to invest a total of one hundred billion US Dollars in three phases to purchase photovoltaic modules, energy storage devices, and introduce the complete construction technology for photovoltaic power stations."

At this point, Wendong handed over the documents on the table, "Since you’re in charge, you get to decide where the project lands."

"These are materials prepared for you, with detailed information on the photovoltaic industry development in several provinces, you pick one, and I’ll inform the local Guozhi Committee to fully support you in completing this."

Qi Yun paused momentarily, not expecting Wendong to have given him the choice.

However, he quickly realized it was a reward from above for bringing back the lithography machines.

It’s a hundred billion USD deal! In the current environment, orders of this magnitude are enticing for any province.

Moreover, more important than the USD is market expansion; once Beidou’s reputation grows in Oil Country, neighboring desert brothers might ask for introductions from the big brother.

Overall, this deal would undoubtedly be a great opportunity, making attracting orders easy, those local leaders and corporate heads would definitely treat Qi Yun favorably?

"Thank you, Leader, for your kindness!" Qi Yun flashed a toothy grin, quickly reaching to examine the materials.

The data in the document was very detailed, not only covering the photovoltaic industry figures of several provinces but also introducing local leading groups. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

These groups are all state-owned enterprises, and he just needs to pick one from them to collaboratively form a joint venture subsidiary.

The specifics afterward will naturally be handled by dedicated staff.

Of course, the subsidiary’s major shares will definitely belong to the group company, but for Qi Yun, it doesn’t matter since he’s not actually planning to run a photovoltaic company.

As Fu Wentao mentioned, once things progress smoothly, he’ll be transferred to a position within the group.
