Chapter 459 Welcome to the Zhang Family
Chapter 459 Welcome home
"I want to go back to the University of East China."
To say the same thing, Gao Yi had to make four phone calls and talk to four people.
Marina in France, Green in the UK, Panetta in the US, and Luca who is somewhere unknown.
Although being a fence-sitter who can please both sides has many advantages, it also has disadvantages. That is, once the fragile balance of trust is broken, his situation of being able to please both sides will be broken.
Gao Yi’s main characteristic is honesty, and he also likes to speak openly and clearly.
"I have some things to deal with at Dongda University. It shouldn't be a problem, but if anything happens to me, please find a way to rescue me."
It takes a lot of skill to strike this fragile balance. Gao Yi doesn't actually have such advanced skills. He still focuses on playing a seemingly loyal and good person who looks like one of his own.
Marina is an old comrade who has experienced many battles and is naturally reliable. It is reasonable for Gao Yi to entrust his retreat to Marina.
Green is half a teacher and has the most complicated involvement with Gao Yi. It is natural for Gao Yi to entrust him with a way out.
Needless to say, Panetta is the one who can't do without Gao Yi. Gao Yi can't do without him, and he can't do without Gao Yi either. They achieve each other's interests and complement each other's status. It is natural and normal for Gao Yi to entrust important matters to him.
The other two agreed immediately. Although they were curious about why Gao Yi wanted to go to Dongda, they did not ask immediately.
But Panetta had to ask carefully, because if Gao Yi completely defected to one side, he would be greatly affected and had to be cautious.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the University of Tokyo?"
Panetta's tone was full of doubts, but fortunately he did not show any dissatisfaction. However, since Panetta asked this, he definitely did not want to see Gao Yi's trip to the University of Tokyo.
Gao Yi didn't need to hide it, he whispered: "Xinfeng analyzed the situation for me, I think it makes a lot of sense. Now the issue between me and Andek Group is not only a matter of personal grudges, but also involves a huge conflict of interests."
"Well, what do the trade winds say?"
"Bitcoin!"
Gao Yi basically repeated what Xinfeng had said to him.
Given Panetta's status and knowledge, Gao Yi didn't believe that he hadn't thought of this, but Panetta had never told Gao Yi about this before.
So when Gao Yi told Panetta these deeper issues one by one, Panetta was silent for a moment, and then said very seriously: "Xin Feng knows more than I thought, and what he said makes sense."
Gao Yi whispered, "So I'm going to Dongda first. If anything happens, Dongda can at least protect my safety."
"Okay, I get it. I just want to remind you again, Gao, I don't want you to take sides. Once you take sides, we will have to cut off all contact, and our relationship will become very complicated. This is not my personal problem, but it involves a lot of people. So you can go to Dongda, but don't take sides, and don't take sides publicly. Do you understand me?"
"I understand. I will definitely not end my own path. I went to Dongda just to do business. There is nothing else. It does not involve any other issues."
"Okay, all is well."
Panetta hung up the phone.
Gao Yi made these calls in the car and he didn't hide it from anyone.
If they were going to be dealing with each other for a long time in the future, they should not be secretive about what they did, so Gao Yi made these calls in front of all of them.
After Panetta hung up the phone, Gao Yi said easily: "Okay, the call is over, we can go to the embassy now."
You can't drive the car from the crime scene directly to the embassy. You should be more decent and not act recklessly just because someone is backing you up.
So Gao Yi and his team changed two cars, changed their clothes twice, avoided people, and used all means to hide their whereabouts and identities before they arrived at the embassy.
How should I put it? It's because others give you face, but you can't really take politeness for granted. You should be more conscious and try not to cause trouble for others.
After I finished the call, it was already daybreak and the embassy was already open for business.
There was definitely no need to queue up with others. Gao Yi didn't know how Feng Biao did it when he went back, but when he arrived at the business hall, someone immediately came forward to guide him to a visa window. However, when the visa officer saw him, he smiled and said, "Welcome home."
They queued up so as not to attract too much attention, but after it was their turn, they didn't ask Gao Yi a single question, nor did they express their welcome.
A stamp was immediately placed on Gao Yi's American passport.
Just stamp it when you get there, and that's it. When Gao Yi took the closed passport, he found a note inside.
Gao Yi stood up and was about to leave the visa window to let Lucy, who was following behind him, go and handle it. The five people did not ask a single question. They just stamped their passports as they were handed over. It was very efficient.
I have never experienced this before, so I don't know what the process is.
Gao Yi opened his passport and looked at the note inside. On it was the name of an airport, a flight number, and a phone number.
After all, it was on someone else's territory, so all the necessary procedures had to be followed. But everything went pretty quickly, and all that was left was to go directly to the airport.
If this was a commercial flight, the next step would be to pick up tickets and board the plane, but the problem was that Gao Yi and his crew were not taking an ordinary flight, but a private plane, or a chartered plane.
Although it was rented, it was also a large business jet. Before Gao Yi and his friends arrived at the airport, they called the number on the note, and then someone picked them up in the parking lot and took them directly to the private jet through the VIP channel. It was very smooth, completely eliminating the pain of waiting, and they lined up to take off immediately after boarding the plane.
There are no flight attendants on the plane, which is intentional. The advantage is that there is no need to worry about outsiders getting in the way, but the disadvantage is that you have to get whatever you want to eat and drink by yourself. For ordinary VIP passengers, this is not a good idea, but for Gao Yi and his friends, this arrangement is very thoughtful.
I didn't have to worry about anything along the way, I felt very safe, and it was dawn when the plane landed.
Because of the jet lag, Gao Yi was not sleepy at all at the moment. When the plane landed directly on the runway of Beiyuan Airport without any warning or waiting, Gao Yi realized that he was finally home.
The plane taxied and stopped at the end of the runway. Gao Yi looked out of the window and found that there were not many planes at the airport, but he could see a long row of cars parked at the end of the runway early on.
They were all red flags, not ceremonial cars, but all black cars, lined up in a long row, looking very imposing.
No one spoke during the journey, because it was not their own plane, so some things were inconvenient to say. But when they landed at the airport, Sis finally couldn't help it. He whispered, "I have never seen such a low-key and ostentatious secret operation."
At first glance, this statement seems grammatically incorrect, but upon closer thought, I find that there is nothing wrong with what Sis said.
On the premise of having to keep a low profile, one must do one's utmost to show respect and courtesy, isn't this the case now?
The plane stopped, a ladder truck drove over, and then Gao Yi had to open the plane door himself, and then he could get off the plane.
It was very low-key, there was no red carpet under the plane.
But it was also very ostentatious, because there were at least a dozen people standing under the plane.
If these people were just ordinary security guards, then this number would definitely be too small. If they were ordinary officials, then it would still be too small. However, those standing below are all people who cannot reveal their identities at all, so this number is a bit scary.
It is enough to know Huang Haisheng's identity and the people he is with.
They were all dressed very formally, at least all formal suits.
Of course, there was no such stupid scene as everyone shouting "Welcome home" in unison. Gao Yi just walked down very steadily, and Huang Haisheng came forward to greet him at the gangway, stretched out his hand, and said calmly: "Teacher Gao, welcome home."
In one word, quietly, that's enough.
Gao Yi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he just said calmly: "Thank you."
"Teacher Gao, please."
Huang Haisheng gestured for invitation, pointing to the line of at least ten vehicles, and said, "Except for the lead car and the rear car, the rest of the cars are the same. Please let Mr. Gao decide how to arrange them."
It is really low-key yet luxurious. The license plate of the leading car is not ordinary. Anyway, the traffic police will never check for any violations. I guess the car at the end is also arranged in the same way.
"I'll be in the same car with you, they can sit wherever they want."
"Yes, please."
The group of people who came to greet Gao Yi quickly dispersed, got into their cars, and opened their doors. After Gao Yi and Huang Haisheng got into a car, the person who opened the door for them closed it and quickly walked to the car behind.
There is no need for a third person in the car except the driver.
When Gao Yi got into the car, he couldn't help but say, "I never thought I would have the chance to ride in this car in my lifetime."
Huang Haisheng couldn't say that everything was for face, he just chuckled and said: "Everything is for safety."
"Thank you, I'm grateful."
Gao Yi didn't say much. He simply thanked him and suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot to tell Brother Biao that I'm back."
Huang Haisheng smiled without saying anything. It was Gao Yi's business whether to inform Feng Biao or not, and he would not say anything.
Anyway, everyone arrived safely, and Gao Yi can do whatever he wants next.
As long as it's not excessive, you can do anything.
Gao Yi picked up the phone. He wanted to tell Feng Biao, but when he was about to dial the number, he suddenly thought, "Forget it. I won't call him. If I show up suddenly, he'll be startled."
Huang Haisheng smiled and said, "Want to scare him? That's easy. Teacher Gao, do you have any arrangements for where you want to live, or do you have a place you want to live?"
"Whatever, anyway...you decide."
Huang still smiled.
This kind of thing has never been done before, and for Huang Haisheng this is the first time for a young lady to get married. However, it is easy to understand what the words "high standards and good treatment" mean, and it doesn't matter that Huang Haisheng has no experience.
There are plenty of experienced people. As long as they come back, everything will be easy to talk about and handle.
