Li Xuewu nodded, looked at her seriously, and said, "Well, I have some important things to deal with here, so I have to go back to the capital. I came here specially to tell you that I'll leave things here to you!"

"Is it so urgent? Can't we talk about it on the phone?" Lou Xiao'e frowned and asked worriedly.

"No, this matter is too serious. I'm not very reassured by what I said on the phone. I still have to report it to the old man in person!" Li Xuewu shook his head and answered in a serious tone.

"Okay, in that case, then you should go back quickly. Don't worry about things at home. I'm here for you!" Lou Xiao'e patted his shoulder to show her understanding.

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

After saying goodbye to Lou Xiaoe, Li Xuewu didn't even go home, but went straight to the airport.

The plane took off from the runway and soared into the sky.

……

After a long flight, the plane finally landed smoothly at Nanyuan Airport.

A black car, which had been waiting for a long time, stopped on the tarmac.

As soon as Li Xuewu got off the plane, he got into the car. The vehicle started quickly, sped all the way, and finally drove into the red-walled courtyard.

Although I haven't seen him for two years, the old man is still as energetic and charming as ever.

When he saw Li Xuewu, he immediately extended his hands enthusiastically. Li Xuewu quickly quickened his pace to meet him and shook his hands tightly: "Hello, old man! I come to bother you again!"

"Hahaha, I'm really looking forward to you coming to bother me more often! Those people come to me either to ask for money or for policies. Only you are different. Every time you come, you can bring me benefits!" The old man laughed happily.

"Then wouldn't I be your lucky cat?" Li Xuewu also laughed.

"Well, that's what you meant. I'm very satisfied with the companies you brought in before. They played a big role in helping us open up the international market. What good news do you have for me this time? Tell me quickly and make me happy!"

"My company in Europe has just signed a contract for a shipyard worth Ermao. Did you know that?" Li Xuewu looked at the old man in front of him with a smile on his face, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, I already know about it. They reported it to me not long ago."

The old man nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "That's great. The shipyard is full of experienced engineers and skilled workers. Their experience can provide great help to our shipbuilding industry. I was just about to talk to you about this. I want to arrange for our own workers and engineers to go to this shipyard to learn technology. You can arrange this!"

"Okay, these are all small matters, just leave it to me." Li Xuewu responded with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.

Then he approached the old man and said in a low voice: "When we took over the shipyard, there was still a big thing hidden inside, an unfinished mothership. I have now had people block the news and secretly reached an agreement with Ermao. I will buy it for 100 million US dollars. I plan to quietly transport it back. This requires our fleet to respond!"

Hearing this, the old man suddenly laughed out loud, his face full of surprise, "Hahahaha, I said you are lucky, you can pick up such good things. You brought back the technical data of the Russian Bear before. Did you know that there are drawings of the Russian Bear's latest tanks and fighter planes? And now here comes this!"

"Really?" Li Xuewu asked in surprise.

In fact, he knew those drawings very well. He had secretly stuffed them into the container that was filled with documents when he personally went on board to inspect the ship after it docked.

"Hahaha, of course. You have no idea how happy our scientists are after the data is compiled. As long as it is demonstrated and equipped on a large scale, our military level will be able to rise several levels."

"That's great! At least my money wasn't wasted!" Li Xuewu also grinned.

The old man's expression became serious. He stared at Li Xuewu and asked slowly, "There can't be any mistakes with the aircraft carrier. If it is discovered by other countries, it will definitely cause an uproar. The escort is no problem. I will arrange for the commander of the navy to communicate with you, but how do you initially plan to transport the aircraft carrier back safely?"

Li Xuewu also said solemnly: "I know the seriousness of the matter, so I plan to start from the Atlantic Ocean, bypass Africa, and finally return to China. In this way, we can avoid the eyes and ears of countries such as the Bald Eagle and reduce the risk of being discovered."

The old man nodded slightly, indicating his approval of the plan, but at the same time reminded: "The sea is vast, the journey is long and full of uncertainties, and this journey may face many difficulties and challenges."

Li Xuewu responded confidently: "Don't worry, I have asked the research center in Hong Kong Island to mobilize 5 orbital satellites specifically for ship navigation. If we add our own satellite system, we can ensure the safety and accuracy of navigation even in the deepest seas."

Hearing this, the old man's expression relaxed a little and he expressed satisfaction with Li Xuewu's preparations.

He nodded in agreement and said, "You have thought it through very carefully. Okay, then we will follow your plan. You and your comrades in the navy should formulate a specific course of action and plan as soon as possible."

After the two chatted for a while, Li Xuewu looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, now that the things outside have been basically settled, I plan to move the company's headquarters back to Beijing next year."

The old man was puzzled: "Isn't Hong Kong Island good? Why do you want to move back? It should be more conducive to development over there!"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly: "I actually had this idea a long time ago, but I was too busy with work to talk about it. People have to return to their roots after all. I am over 50 years old this year, and my children have grown up. I plan to let them take care of the affairs in Hong Kong Island, and I will stay at home to take charge. Can you approve a piece of land for me to build the headquarters of the group?"

The old man laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you really know how to make fun of an old man like me! There's no need for me to intervene in the land granting matter. I'm afraid the leadership team in Beijing is looking forward to your early return! Don't bother me with such trivial matters! When you come back, you can often come to me for tea and chat!"

"That's definitely no problem. I'm just afraid you'll be annoyed with me by then!" Li Xuewu agreed with a smile.

"Okay, come with me to the garden, and then we'll have a quick meal together!" The old man stood up, and Li Xuewu hurried forward to support his arm.

It was not until the sun was setting that the old man let Li Xuewu leave.

The capital city is changing every year now.

It is now the beginning of summer in 92.

The car stopped at Qianmen Street, and he got out and prepared to walk back. Standing on the street, watching the endless stream of cars and the flashing neon lights on the shops, and listening to the pop music, Li Xuewu felt as if he was in another world.

A group of young people in fashionable clothes passed by Li Xuewu, chatting and laughing.
