Chapter 2023

Hearing this, Ye Xiao and Wu Chuan also raised their teacups.

"Mr. Wu, you don't need to thank us. God helps those who help themselves. If the Wu family doesn't want to change, no matter how much we help them, it will be useless."

Ye Xiao said very pertinently.

When he and Wu Chuan first came to the Wu family, they were originally rejected by Wu Shouzhuo. If Wu Guozhang hadn't seen the crisis of the Wu family and chose to come out again, it is estimated that there would be no sincere cooperation between the two parties.

And their mission would also come to an end at that time.

At this time, Wu Chuan gently put down the teacup, looked at Wu Guozhang solemnly and said: "Mr. Wu, the top leaders hope that you can send representatives to the capital after you officially take office."

In fact, Ye Xiao and Wu Chuan came to see Wu Guozhang tonight not just to congratulate Wu Guozhang, but also with instructions from the top leaders of Longguo.

Hearing Wu Chuan's words, Wu Shouzhuo and Wu Huiru, father and daughter, could not help but hesitate, wondering in their hearts what the inland government's intention was in making this request?

They remembered that when Ye Xiao reached a cooperation agreement with the Wu family, he said that the Longguo government would not ask the Wu family to make certain political statements!

But why do they need to send people to the capital now?

Wu Guozhang looked at Wu Chuan and nodded, "Wu Huben, I can send people to the capital, but the people I send will not be members of the Penglai government. I plan to let Huiru go."

When he said this, Wu Guozhang stared at Wu Chuan with a serious expression. He understood why the inland government was anxious for him to send people to the capital.

In fact, Wu Guozhang also wanted to deepen his ties with the inland government, but now he also has his own difficulties.

The unification of Penglai and the inland is bound to be a long-term goal, which requires both parties to take a long-term approach. If they are too impatient, not only will the people of Penglai not be able to accept it for a while, but the status of him and his Wu family will also be affected.

Wu Chuan smiled, "Mr. Wu, in fact, the top leaders also mean this. We welcome Miss Wu to visit the inland."

Wu Chuan did not lie. The reason why he did not say it directly at the beginning was also a test for the Wu family. If Wu Guozhang directly rejected it without thinking, then they would have to judge whether the Wu family was going to be an ungrateful person.

Wu Huiru is the most promising member of the Wu family except Wu Guozhang. Although Wu Huiru has not entered the government now, it is very likely that she will ascend to a high position in Penglai with the help of the Wu family faction in the future, or become the leader of Penglai.

The great cause of unification that could not be achieved by Wu Guozhang would most likely fall on Wu Huiru, so if Wu Huiru went to the capital, the effect would be better than if Wu Guozhang sent any capable subordinates.

Seeing Wu Guozhang's frank agreement, Ye Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Through this period of time, he felt that Wu Guozhang was not the kind of person who would cross the river and burn the bridge.

But this involved too many things after all, and he was a little worried that Wu Guozhang would be confused.

However, at this time, Wu Guozhang did not relax. He continued, "General Ye, Wu Huben, in fact, Lin Daoqing said something similar to me during the day."

"I plan to let Shouzhu go to Country M, I hope you can understand."

Wu Guozhang knew very well that the reason why the inland government sent Ye Xiao and others to support him to take the position was largely because the inland government was disappointed with the double-dealing of the Gu family.

In order to consolidate his power, what he will do next is somewhat similar to the style of the Gu family, but he is definitely not trying to use the power of the M country to balance.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao and Wu Chuan looked at each other, and the two quickly reached an agreement.

"Mr. Wu, we believe in you and the Wu family, so let's do it according to your wishes!" Ye Xiao said solemnly.

"The cooperation between us has not ended yet, and there is a long way to go. I hope we can still cooperate sincerely in the future."

Wu Guozhang was able to inform him and Wu Chuan of this matter in advance, and Wu Guozhang's distinctive dispatch to Wu Shouzhuo and Wu Huiru was enough to show Wu Guozhang's intentions.

Therefore, both of them had no doubt that Wu Guozhang would follow the old path of the Gu family.

Hearing this, Wu Guozhang also laughed. He looked at Ye Xiao sincerely and said, "Don't worry, General Ye. I can't guarantee the long term, but the three generations of my Wu family will never change their original intentions."

Wu Guozhang said this to Ye Xiao and Wu Chuannan, and also to warn Wu Shouzhuo and Wu Huiru. This was a thank you to Ye Xiao and others for their help, as well as his own feelings during this period.

The historical trend is so powerful that no one can stop it. Ambitious people like Gao Qimei and martial arts masters like Cherfu are all lessons from the past.

After talking about business,The atmosphere in the study was much more relaxed. Later, the five of them moved to the Wu family banquet hall and drank Wu Guozhang's celebratory wine together.

That night, Wu Guozhang drank a lot of wine, more than the seven or eight banquets he attended during the day.

Only when you really drink celebratory wine with like-minded friends can you feel refreshed.

It was not until late at night that Ye Xiao and Wu Chu'nan said goodbye and left the Wu family.

On the way back to the base, Ye Xiao used his power to dissipate the drunkenness and called the second elder.

In an office in the center of Beijing, the second elder quickly answered the phone.

Although it was already late, the second elder insisted that he would not leave until he heard Ye Xiao's report.

"Second elder, Elder Wu agreed." Ye Xiao's words were very brief and vague, but they made the second elder on the other end of the phone smile.

As far as the situation in Penglai is concerned, Longguo's upper hand in the negotiations with M country is not a victory, nor is Wu Guozhang's election success. Only what Ye Xiao said now can be regarded as the planning of the high-level officials of Longguo, which has achieved a staged victory.

"Good, good, good! Xiaoye, you have done a good job. If the plan can be successfully implemented, you will all be great contributors to our nation." The second elder praised with a big laugh.

When Ye Xiao and the other two were sent to Penglai, the situation in Penglai was a headache for the high-level officials of Longguo.

The most popular candidates at that time were Gu Chengfeng and Gao Qimei, but no matter which of the two came to power, it would not be conducive to Longguo's strategy of steadily achieving great unification.

Although the Council of Elders also came up with a corresponding countermeasure, that is, to support the Wu family, a neutral faction, to come to power, it was extremely difficult to implement. At that time, the second elder had no choice but to send Ye Xiao and the other two.

Unexpectedly, the three of them really gave him a surprise in the end.
