Chapter 2230: This Task Is Not Simple

~7 min read 1,337 words

The assistant did not delay any further and turned to walk out of the office.

Su Kexuan rubbed her temples.

Then, she dealt with the urgent work on hand as quickly as possible.

Once she had free time, she went to Xie Wanyi's company.

Su Kexuan rarely took the initiative to seek out Xie Wanyi.

Now that she had suddenly arrived, Xie Wanyi knew there must be some urgent matter.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Let me guess, are you looking to investigate someone?"

"Mm, you really guessed right," Su Kexuan said, handing over a piece of personal information, "Help me check who this person has been in contact with recently."

In the information sheet Su Kexuan handed over, a photo of Lao Zhong was prominently displayed.

Xie Wanyi took a look and began the investigation.

This kind of task was a piece of cake for Xie Wanyi.

He prepared to find out clearly on the spot.

Then, he would tell the results directly to Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan did not disturb Xie Wanyi.

She rested her chin on her palm.

Her beautiful eyes stared into the void, and she began to zone out.

Not long after, Xie Wanyi let out a soft "Huh."

Su Kexuan came back to her senses.

Seeing Xie Wanyi's brows furrowed, she asked: "Not going smoothly?"

Xie Wanyi did not hide it; he said: "For you to come to me, it really isn't a simple matter."

"To be able to make you say such things, it seems the person behind Lao Zhong is indeed not simple."

Xie Wanyi laughed and asked: "Are you imitating the way I speak?"

"Of course not, just lamenting. But no matter how not simple this person is, I believe in your ability more."

"Hey, for the sake of those words, I must hurry up and find the person."

As Xie Wanyi said this, he closed his computer.

Su Kexuan was puzzled: "This is..."

"The other party is very cunning; every time they contact Lao Zhong, they use a virtual number, and the locations of these numbers are spread all over the world. I need to use more precise equipment to track them in a moment."

So that was it.

Su Kexuan nodded in realization, then asked: "Conservatively estimated, how long will it take to find the person behind the scenes?"

"If it goes smoothly, three days; if some minor issues arise, it might take a week, or even longer."

"Understood."

Su Kexuan said this, took a bank card out of her bag, and placed it in front of Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi knew what this meant.

But he did not intend to accept it: "Just helping you out, no need for this."

"This isn't a favor, but a collaboration. If you don't accept it, I won't have the face to bring up the next request."

Su Kexuan was clear about the distinction between public and private matters.

Even if it were a friend, she would not feel at ease taking advantage of them.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyi did not decline again.

Once he had put away the bank card, Su Kexuan spoke again: "Help me introduce two bodyguards."

The security guards at the company are not professional enough.

If someone uses a diversionary tactic, there is no guarantee they won't fall for it.

The people under Xie Wanyi are different; they are all elites.

With them around, Su Kexuan could truly be at ease.

Hearing this, Xie Wanyi raised his eyebrows to look at Su Kexuan and asked: "You want to use bodyguards?"

"No, it's an employee in the company. His current status is quite sensitive, and he needs to be protected well, lest someone use his life to make a scene."

"I see, heh, I was just saying, how could you possibly need bodyguards with your skills. Leave this to me, I'll arrange it now."

"Once you find suitable people, have them go to my company and look for my assistant."

"Alright."

Xie Wanyi said this, stood up, and walked to the window to make a phone call.

Just as Xie Wanyi was arranging the candidates, someone pushed the door open and poked her head in.

Jiang Motian's round eyes immediately caught sight of Su Kexuan.

At once, she curved her eyes and walked to Su Kexuan's side with light steps.

"The receptionist told me Wanyi was meeting a great beauty, an entrepreneur surnamed Su, and that she was quite familiar with Wanyi. I thought, isn't that you!"

Seeing her good friend, Su Kexuan's previously somewhat suppressed mood instantly became bright.

She even joked: "It's a good thing you aren't hot-headed, otherwise you would have come charging in after hearing the first half of that sentence."

"I'm not that petty!" Jiang Motian made a face, then inquired, "Coming to see Wanyi, is there something up?"

"There is indeed something; I asked him to help me check on some things."

"Then I didn't interrupt your serious business, did I?"

"No, everything that needed to be said has been said, and I'm leaving now."

Su Kexuan said this and prepared to stand up and leave, so as to give this young couple some space to themselves.

But Jiang Motian called out to Su Kexuan: "Wait a moment!"

Once Su Kexuan stopped, Jiang Motian took a design drawing out of her canvas bag and handed it over.

"This is the new design drawing Yangyang made for our art gallery, take a look."

Jiang Motian had originally intended to send the drawing over to Su Kexuan.

She hadn't expected to run into her here by accident.

It really saved her some trouble.

Su Kexuan looked at the rendering and nodded repeatedly: "I like this low-key yet profound design style, it's not bad."

"Hehe, I guessed you would like it. So, shall I have the construction team start work later?"

"Okay."

"The construction period is about a month; after a month, our art gallery can officially open for business!"

Thinking of that day, Jiang Motian felt a little excited.

Su Kexuan was also looking forward to the arrival of that day.

She even made arrangements: "The first exhibition is reserved for you, and the second one, well, is for Qingkong. Once Qingkong's latest photography exhibition ends, our art gallery can be used by the public."

Jiang Motian had no objections to this arrangement.

However...

"Our art gallery can't just rely on the two of us, me and Qingkong, to keep it going."

"Of course not. On my end, I have already secured the hosting rights for two exhibitions for the art gallery."

Jiang Motian couldn't help but widen her eyes: "As expected of you, that's so efficient!"

Su Kexuan smiled with calm indifference.

She raised her hand to smooth her stray hair and promised: "You don't need to worry about the marketing part; I guarantee that within a year, I will make our art gallery infinitely glorious."

Hearing this, it sounded a bit arrogant.

But if it was Su Kexuan saying it...

Then fulfilling the promise was only a matter of time.

Jiang Motian had confidence in her!

Xie Wanyi had already finished his phone call.

He walked over to the two of them and said to Su Kexuan: "The bodyguards have been arranged, they can go to your company this afternoon."

"Mm, got it. You two chat, I'm leaving first."

Su Kexuan didn't stay to be a third wheel.

After she left Xie Wanyi's office, Xie Wanyi hugged Jiang Motian.

He even rubbed his chin against the top of her head.

Jiang Motian raised her arms, wrapped them around Xie Wanyi's waist, tilted her head up, and said: "I'm so lucky today, I actually ran into Kexuan here."

"Is it not lucky to see me?"

"That's not it, that's happiness."

As she spoke, Jiang Motian stood on her tiptoes and kissed Xie Wanyi's lips.

Xie Wanyi took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.

It wasn't until Jiang Motian was almost out of breath that he reluctantly let go.
