That evening, Jiang Lan shared the feedback from the Yunnan branch and his own analysis in the family group chat and expressed his desire to personally go to Yunnan to confirm the situation.
After much deliberation, he realized that his eldest brother was too busy to attend to other matters, and his fourth brother was currently taking care of his sister-in-law, a crucial time to cultivate goodwill, which he absolutely couldn’t afford to abandon halfway. All things considered, it seemed that only he himself had the most free time, could easily take leave, and had a stable relationship, allowing him to make the trip without any worries.
Neither Bi Xi nor Bi’an objected. Ya Zi suddenly appeared but did not contact them. They had to confirm his safety as soon as possible, no matter what.
That was how it was decided that Jiang Lan would take a trip to Yunnan Province.
Because Bi Xi was too busy to get away, the next day, Saturday, Bi’an arranged for Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao to meet at a restaurant near the Monster Management Bureau to discuss the specifics of their trip to Yunnan Province.
The branch office sent people to investigate yesterday, but there had been no feedback as of Saturday morning. Jiang Lan must set off as soon as possible.
After the three met at the restaurant, Bi’an, unusually, did not cause trouble for Ying Qiao. Instead, he pushed a storage bag to Jiang Lan and said solemnly, “I didn’t bring much with me to Jiangcheng. This contains some spiritual medicine that Uncle Gui sent for Chen Hua last time. Keep it just in case. Uncle Gui will send more over to Chen Hua as soon as possible.”
Jiang Lan didn’t answer, muttering, “It’s just going to Yunnan Province to bring Lao Qi back, why make such a fuss?”
His thinking was simple: if it really was the seventh brother, that would be best. No matter what happened that prevented him from contacting the Dragon Palace, he could just knock him out and carry him back.
It’s so simple, why all the twists and turns?
But Bi Xi and Bi’an clearly had much more complicated thoughts. Bi Xi frowned and forcefully shoved the storage bag into his hand: “Just in case, we need to bring Seventh Brother back, but you yourself must also act cautiously. If anything changes, hold your position and send us a message, and Big Brother and I will rush over as soon as possible.” Perhaps feeling that he had spoken too seriously, he softened his tone and said, “Of course, these are all worst-case scenarios. It would be best if you and Seventh Brother could return safely.”
Although Ya Zi was the seventh child, he was always very cautious and even more cunning than the fifth child.
Bi’an was worried that something had happened to Lao Qi and that Jiang Lan wouldn’t be able to handle it if he went alone.
If Chen Hua’s injuries hadn’t been so severe, he would have preferred to go to Yunnan Province with Jiang Lan.
“I know.” Jiang Lan had no choice but to put away the storage bag and then discussed the time with them: “Then I’ll ask the director for leave when I get back today and buy a plane ticket tonight or tomorrow morning to go to Yunnan Province.”
He looked at Ying Qiao: “Fourth Brother is busy taking care of Chen Hua and doesn’t have time, so Jiao Tu and the others will be in your care.”
This was something he had discussed with Ying Qiao last night.
With Chen Hua gone, Ying Qiao was already very busy handling company affairs on his own. Even if he reluctantly put aside his company matters to go to Yunnan Province with him, Jiang Lan was worried about leaving the three little ones and Jiu Ding at home without anyone to take care of them.
The two were locked in a stalemate for a long time last night, and Jiang Lan finally managed to get Ying Qiao to relent by using his good looks.
Ying Qiao pursed his lips and reluctantly agreed.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan smiled and squeezed his hand under the table.
….
After returning from the restaurant, Jiang Lan reported to the Monster Management Bureau and also asked the street office for five days off. Five working days plus two weekend days make a full seven days, which should be more than enough time for him to travel back and forth to Yunnan Province.
After taking leave, Jiang Lan booked a flight for the early morning of the next day and began packing his luggage.
Ying Qiao gave him a large suitcase, wishing he could stuff all his belongings into it, while the three little ones snuggled on the sofa in the room listening to their fifth brother’s earnest instructions before leaving.
Jiang Lan had only said a few words when he saw Ying Qiao pour out the fire crystals that Ji Xian had given him and put it into a storage ring. Then he stuffed in several of the best-quality gemstones from the study that Jiang Lan had been reluctant to eat. He then grabbed a handful of broken gemstones and filled the storage ring. With a solemn expression, he put the storage ring on Jiang Lan’s finger and said, “Fire crystals to fill your stomach. Eat them if you get hungry outside.”
Jiang Lan withdrew his hand, glanced at the bulging snacks inside, and felt a mix of desire and embarrassment. But he feigned reluctance to show he wasn’t that big of a eater: “Didn’t you say you were saving them to trade with Geng Chen? I’ll only be gone for a week at most, and if all goes well, I can come back early. There’s no need to bring so much, is there? I can’t possibly finish it all…”
“Take the leftovers back to Geng Chen if you can’t finish them. It’s always good to bring more.” Ying Qiao actually felt that it was still a bit too little, but he didn’t have many storage magic items, and bringing too many would make it inconvenient for Jiang Lan to move around, so he had to stop.
Hearing this, Jiang Lan happily agreed, “What you said makes sense.”
No matter how much I bring, I can finish it all!
He happily touched his storage ring, already eager to go on his business trip!
