Chapter 174

The purpose of this trip to Japan is basically achieved; the rest is just painstaking work, which needs time to ferment.

After having a good two days of fun with Miss Keizi, he prepared to return to Gangdao.

Li Xin lay in the hot spring pool, while Miss Keizi was giving him a full-body massage, meticulous and thorough, letting him truly experience the taste of being a foster father!

Even being a foster father isn't as enjoyable as he is!

After finishing the hot spring enjoyment, the two went to the room, and he lay on the tatami.

Miss Keizi's hands were not honest, wandering all over his body, with seductive eyes she asked: 'Xin, when will you come again? I can't bear to be apart from you; you really make a woman's heart flutter.'

Li Xin also couldn't suffer a loss, he grabbed a bun with one hand and answered nonchalantly.

I don't have time, you can also come to Gangdao to see me; when I go back I'll prepare accommodation for you, welcome anytime you come to Gangdao.

Miss Keizi happily said: 'Okay, I'll come find you when I have time.'

After parting with Miss Keizi, Li Xin directly returned to the bar in the Shinjuku district.

Sit down in the office, he told Yao Yang beside him: 'This side is entrusted to you; you must find a way to obtain the crystal core and probe technology, money for money, people for people.'

Yao Yang slightly nodded, smiling: 'Don't worry, Big Brother, no problem; if proper means fail, we'll use some improper ones.'

Moreover, I will place the order first; as for subsequent operations, I already have a rough direction, Big Brother, you can rest assured on this point.

Yao Yang seriously said: 'Big Brother, you should visit the Kimchi Country; I've learned that their crystal core technology is developing rapidly.'

Li Xin knows that the Kimchi Country's Samsung Group will become a giant in the semiconductor field later, but he truly doesn't know when they started to take off.

He opened his mouth and said: 'Tell me the specific situation; how far have they developed?'

Yao Yang took out a small notebook from his pocket, opened it, and found the notes he had recorded.

Then he answered: 'The Kimchi Country government, by implementing a six-year plan to support the semiconductor industry and promoting a "official-private integrated" crystal core joint development project, has provided strong support for the development of the semiconductor industry.'

Thanks to government support, technological progress is very fast; after the New Year this year, Samsung successfully developed 64K DRAM, achieving a major leap from LSI technology to VLSI technology.

This is great news for us; we won't be constrained by a single supplier, giving us more options.

Moreover, we are placing the order from Gangdao; there's no problem with that. Everyone knows Gangdao is a major consumer of crystal cores, so they have no reason to refuse.

Li Xin happily said to Yao Yang: 'You really are my Zhuge Liang! Things are even more thorough than I thought; if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly—this will save me a lot of brain cells.'

The next day, Li Xin received a call from Gangdao; Chen Chao on the phone told him that Zhang Wenyao had made a move.

It seems he's planning something big, meeting someone he shouldn't see—a foreign mercenary; this is not something a police superintendent should do.

Upon hearing 'mercenary', Li Xin immediately recalled: who is this Zhang Wenyao? Isn't he the mastermind behind the armored car robbery?

Those mercenaries must be the ones hired by Tian Yangsheng! These few people still have some skills; he especially values Tian Yang'en, and Line: Qiuti's side lacks such a person.

After hanging up, he also said goodbye to Ikuno Kazuo, then finished briefing Tadahide Yamashita.

Bringing Jianjun and Jian Guo back to Gangdao, after the plane landed they immediately returned to Xi Gong.

Although this period wasn't long, he felt it had been ages and missed Xi Gong a little.

After returning home, he took a refreshing shower, checked the time, and had the restaurant deliver dinner in the evening; then he called Line: Qiuti.

On the phone, Line: Qiuti heard Li Xin's voice and hurriedly asked: 'A Xin, are you back? Have you reached home?'

Li Xin smiled and replied: 'I'm waiting for you at my home in Xi Gong; finish your meal and come back early.'

Line: Qiuti hung up the mobile, grabbed her bag with one hand, turned and left—what more is there to wait for?

Go home!

Li Xin, wearing pajamas, lay on the sofa; perhaps smelling a familiar scent, he soon fell asleep.

Until someone knocked on the door did he wake up; opening the door, he saw He Qiang leading a few people bringing him vegetables.

He made way at the doorway; they came in, several people placed the dishes on the table, and were about to leave.

Li Xin stopped them, took out several 500-yuan big notes from the bedroom, put them in their hands, and then said to them.

'Buy a few bottles of wine with it.'

He then kept He Qiang alone, had him sit on the sofa, and smilingly asked: 'Are you still used to working at the restaurant?'

He Qiang laughed and replied: 'Boss, it's fine; I don't want to do anything else, I just like cooking, and this life is great!'

Li Xin handed him a cigarette, took one himself, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

Then he said: 'As long as you're doing well, as long as you're comfortable, you can take root here; if there's a suitable match, find someone to marry.'

'You're all not young anymore; go tell Sister Juan to arrange something for the brothers, so you don't end up bachelors and become a laughingstock.'

'Others might think that as boss, I'm not paying you enough to support a family; if so, I'll settle accounts with you—understand?'

He Qiang laughed loudly: 'Boss, no one dares say that; our wages and bonuses are much higher than white-collar workers', how could they not be enough to support a family?'

'Not only is it enough to support the family, it also lets family live well; this life, previously unimaginable, is cherished by the brothers.'

Li Xin nodded and said: 'That's good; once you start a family, your heart settles; you should learn more from the old-timers at the motor pool—those back home without wives have all married, you should also hurry up.'

'Don't let it get to the point where other people's kids can already deliver soy sauce while you still have no wife—that would be embarrassing, a huge embarrassment.'

He Qiang stood up, smiling and replied: 'No problem, I already have some prospects; maybe after a while I can invite the boss for a drink.'

'Moreover, Brother Chao allocated me a new apartment, furniture all bought, just waiting for the wedding!'

Li Xin also had people build two residential buildings in the Hongxin community; having land makes it so convenient—if lacking, just build, that's how extravagant it is!

He Qiang had just stepped out of the building entrance when he saw Line: Qiuti returning; he smiled and greeted her.

'Is the boss's wife back?'

Line: Qiuti smiled and replied: 'Yeah, A Xin is back; I left work early today! Are you here to deliver vegetables?'

He Qiang nodded and replied: 'Yeah, I just finished delivering vegetables to the boss; boss's wife, I'm heading back now—go inside and eat.'

Line: Qiuti smiled, waved goodbye to him, and immediately rushed home impatiently.

'Sister-in-law, your bag fell in the car!'

Line: Qiuti didn't even turn her head, casually saying: 'Just leave it in the car; we'll talk about it tomorrow.'

'It's clear she's very anxious!'

(No way! The brothers don't want to see the everyday-life plot, but we need a transition, otherwise we can't write the later part!)
