Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 352 The Concubine of the Age 59

Hang Yuhai repeated it again, and Secretary Li looked straight at Hang Yuhai: "Two...two ships? Are you sure?"

Hang Yuhai nodded, and seeing that Secretary Li was still sitting on the ground, he grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

Secretary Li finally came to his senses, adjusted his tie and said, "Xiao Yu, I know you are strong, but it is not appropriate for you to lift me up like this, please give me some face."

"Yes, yes, your face is important, but I think this matter is more important than your face. You know, those two ships full of cultural relics are still docked at the port! The port is full of good and bad people..."

Before Hang Yuhai could finish, Secretary Li rushed out of the office.

This frightened the security guards, who thought something serious had happened and quickly ran after Secretary Li.

Secretary Li ran all the way to the big boss's office before stopping to adjust his clothes and take a breath.

"Secretary Li, what happened? Do you need to arrange for someone urgently?"

Secretary Li was startled by the sudden voice. After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait a moment. I need to report to the leader first."

When the leader heard Secretary Li's report, he stood up suddenly, and the chair rubbed against the floor, making a loud noise.

The soldier waiting outside kicked the door open and watched the situation in the office vigilantly with his gun in hand.

The big boss raised his hand and pressed it down: "It's okay, there's no danger."

The soldiers looked around and found no danger, so they saluted and continued to guard outside the door.

The big boss walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "If this is true, then... then it will be enough to shock the whole world!!"

Secretary Li: "Xiaoyu came to inform me. I guess Ms. Gu asked her to come. I came to inform you before I went to see it because I also think this matter is a bit outrageous... Including the previous ship, there are already three ships. Did Ms. Gu rob a country?"

The leader stopped and thought of what Mr. Wu said last time. Maybe the missing item from the British Museum was really related to Gu Nuanyi.

The big boss rubbed his fingers and said: "I think... if those cultural relics can be returned, then how they came back is not so important, right? As long as Ms. Gu continues to love China, that's all."

Secretary Li also responded: "Yes, as long as Ms. Gu always loves China, that's all."

"Just like last time, let Elder Lin and Elder Wu go. This time send more soldiers for protection, and also prepare some Chinese specialties for them to take back. Don't let them go back empty-handed again."

When Elder Lin and Elder Wu heard that more cultural relics had been brought back, they quickly packed up their things and followed Secretary Li to the port.

Looking at the familiar ships and wooden boxes

Elder Lin and Elder Wu both took a deep breath. Who is this Gu Nuanyi? And...

Secretary Li hurried forward and whispered, "Second Elder, the leader told us to just look at the cultural relics, don't ask anything else!!"

Old Lin rolled his eyes: "Are we two such clueless people? We know what we should and shouldn't ask. Let's go, Old Wu, let's go check things out."

Secretary Li waved his hand, and the carefully selected soldiers behind him quickly followed.

There were quite a few people this time, so Morton didn't need to pry open the boxes.

The soldiers excitedly pried open a box with crowbars in a few seconds, and exclaimed at the exquisite cultural relics in the box.

Seeing their rude behavior, Mr. Wu was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "You guys, be gentler!!!" His voice was a little hoarse, for fear that they would damage the cultural relics inside.

Old Wu followed the soldiers closely, and every movement of the soldiers would cause Old Wu to exclaim.

The soldiers didn't know what to do. They didn't have enough strength to pry open the tightly sealed wooden box...

Secretary Li stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wu, why don't you go and see what's inside the boxes that have already been opened? You stay here and watch. They are very nervous. What if they get distracted and poke the wrong place?"

Old Wu glared at the soldiers, and finally followed Secretary Li's force and left without following the soldiers and talking to them.

But he muttered: "I think they should practice more anti-interference training..."

Secretary Li knew that Mr. Wu attached great importance to cultural relics, so he reluctantly echoed Mr. Wu's words: "Yes, yes, yes, I will tell the troops when I get back and ask them to practice more."

After seeing the cultural relics, Mr. Wu quickly immersed himself in them and ignored any sounds coming from the surroundings.

Seeing that Old Wu was no longer following them, the soldiers dared to pry the wooden box open, and their efficiency was much higher.

After Secretary Li settled Mr. Wu, he walked over to Morton and said, "My friend, thank you for escorting these cultural relics to China."

Morton nodded slightly: "These are all the young lady's orders. I am just doing what the young lady ordered."

Secretary Li invited them, "You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to entertain you properly. You have to stay a little longer this time. There are so many places worth visiting in China!"

"Everything is up to Miss!!"

Secretary Li choked and quickly responded: "Did you meet Ms. Gu when you came to China?"

"Yes, the lady asked me to go back to the boat and wait for you. She said you will be here soon."

Secretary Li laughed and said, "Ms. Gu is really very good at predicting things!"

Secretary Li didn't find a topic to chat with, and Morton didn't take the initiative to speak. He just stood at the door like a wooden stake.

You should know that those who can take the position of secretary are all very good at observing people's expressions and speaking well.

After realizing that Morton didn't want to talk to her, Secretary Li changed the subject and started talking about Gu Nuanyi's daily life.

"I once visited Ms. Gu and was so envious of her life! She didn't grow flowers or plants in her yard, but vegetables and fruit trees. There was a round table under the fruit trees. She could drink tea and play chess at the round table. It was so comfortable!"

Talking about Gu Nuanyi, Morton suddenly smiled: "It's like this, when the young lady was at the manor, she loved to sit under the grape vines and drink tea the most. For this reason, the young lady even planted a batch of tea trees herself."

"Wow! I really hope to have the honor to drink the tea from the tea trees planted by Ms. Gu"

Morton has endless things to say to Gu Nuanyi

Praising Gu Nuanyi in Secretary Li's ear in various ways

Secretary Li responded at first, but later on he just nodded mechanically.

20 minutes passed, and Morton did not repeat a word of his praise for Gu Nuanyi.

This is even more eloquent than he was as a secretary!
