Chapter 521 Too Exaggerated

King Yan chuckled, "They definitely have their own methods. In fact, their gang is primarily involved in smuggling, especially from Moxi Country. To smuggle someone out is a breeze for them. The only real difficulty lies in capturing Hu Yaorong, who is protected by bodyguards.

I asked, and he told me that the night before last, during a gathering, he used a woman to lure Hu Yaorong into a room, knocked him out, lowered him from the window with a rope, swiftly took him to the seaside, and shipped him off to Moxi Country by boat. Once they’re out of the territory of the Beautiful Country, there are no problems at all."

"So that’s how it is," Xu Yang said. "It sounds simple enough, but to pull it off is not so easy. One wrong move, and the whole thing could fail."

"Indeed," King Yan agreed.

After a few more exchanges, they ended the call.

The matter with Hu Yaorong, after so much back and forth, was finally settled.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin spent a few more days having fun on Haiyue Island before returning to Jiang City.

They had to come back; the school anniversary was approaching.

Earlier, the counselor had sent them invitations, and both would attend the anniversary as distinguished alumni.

Back home, the couple sat on the sofa to rest.

Zhao Yuxin said, "Honey, look at the WeChat group; everyone is talking about the anniversary."

"What’s there to talk about?" Xu Yang asked.

Zhao Yuxin replied, "It’s about who will be coming back for the anniversary. If we don’t talk about it, we wouldn’t even know that our school has actually produced quite a few famous alumni."

"Like who?" Xu Yang inquired.

Gazing at her phone, Zhao Yuxin said, "Not to mention the officials, let’s just talk about those in the business world. There’s Song Changqing from Xingkong Technology Company, Li Xiang from Yangfan Investment Company, and then there’s..."

She went on and on, but Xu Yang wasn’t particularly impressed by most of the names except for Song Changqing from the Xingkong Technology Company.

That was one man he truly admired, someone who was ten years his senior.

Song Changqing came from a rural background and had a very humble beginning. He was truly a self-made man.

Through his own efforts and hard work, he made his first bucket of gold and founded Xingkong Technology Company. Its main business was the development of artificial intelligence, and now the company was estimated to be worth tens of billions.

The progression of technology was rapid and unrelenting, and there was much promise in the field of artificial intelligence.

Honestly, Xu Yang himself was looking forward to investing in a company dealing with artificial intelligence.

Unfortunately, the system had never provided any information on this aspect.

Just then, a system notification rang in his mind.

[Xingkong Technology Company is currently facing financial difficulties and is urgently looking for investors. In a week, the Island Nation’s Soft Hardware Capital will invest two billion, acquiring 20% of the shares, which will alleviate the company’s financial strain.

In half a year, they will develop the world’s most intelligent artificial intelligence robot, catapulting the company to become one of the world’s most promising artificial intelligence technology companies. Ten years later, it will dominate the field of artificial intelligence with a market value exceeding one trillion!]

Xu Yang took a sharp intake of breath.

In ten years, it would be a company with a market value over one trillion.

If he invested now, he stood to make a fortune.

The companies the system had provided information on before were usually valued around one hundred billion.

Even Jiangdi Lao, as popular as it was, had just surpassed a market value of one hundred billion.

Even Hui’an Pharmaceutical, which developed cancer drugs, had only just reached a market value over one hundred billion.

Yet, Song Changqing’s Xingkong Technology would be worth over one trillion.

It was an indication that the future would likely be the era of artificial intelligence, set to change every aspect of people’s lives.

Thinking this, Xu Yang said, "Song Changqing is not bad at all. I am quite optimistic about his Xingkong Technology. At the school anniversary tomorrow, I’ll have the chance to meet him. If possible, I hope to invest in his company."

Zhao Yuxin added, "I heard from our classmates that his company works on artificial intelligence."

Xu Yang nodded, "Yes, artificial intelligence is going to change our lives in the future. Getting in now, we could have a piece of the action."

Zhao Yuxin replied, "I don’t understand much about these things. You decide what you want to do. I’m going to go back to work at the bank after the anniversary."

"Actually, you don’t have to go back. You could work at one of our companies. With so many to choose from, you can pick whichever you like," Xu Yang suggested.

Zhao Yuxin shook her head, "I don’t think that’s a good idea. I still believe that working together and having conflicting opinions at work could affect our relationship. I think working at the bank is easier for me."

She paused, then added, "Honey, you won’t start loving me less if you think I can’t keep up with you, will you?"

"How could I!" Xu Yang quickly shook his head, pulling her into his embrace, "No matter what, you will always be my greatest love. Besides, you are not falling behind. You have your own career, your own convictions, and that’s great. Plus, I’ll take you with me to any event I attend, so you can meet my friends and make connections too. There’s no way the situation you’re worried about will happen."

"Mm-hm." Zhao Yuxin nestled in sweetly.@@novelbin@@

Just then, Xu Yang’s mobile phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was their counselor, Gao Lang.

Answering the call, he heard Gao Lang’s voice.

"Xu Yang, the school anniversary is tomorrow. You’re not too busy to attend, are you?"

Gao Lang wanted to confirm whether Xu Yang would attend the school anniversary.

Xu Yang was now one of the most important distinguished alumni.

The school leadership had repeatedly instructed him to ensure Xu Yang’s attendance at the anniversary.

Of course, as Xu Yang’s former teacher, he was also eager for Xu Yang to be there.

Having such a successful student return would reflect well on him too.

"Of course I’ll be there. I’ve just returned from out of town especially for tomorrow’s anniversary. Yu Xin and I will both attend," Xu Yang assured him with a smile.

"That’s great. I was worried I’d hear you were too busy. If you were unable to attend, I’d definitely get an earful from the principal!" Gao Lang laughed.

"Really?" Xu Yang was surprised.

"Of course. Everyone is saying you’re going to be the youngest richest man in Huaxia, and even possibly the youngest richest person in the world. A student destined to become a double-ranked wealthiest, the principal’s attention could not be overstated. Maybe before the 60th anniversary, you’ll already be on top.

This anniversary is significant, and your absence would be a great loss for our school," Gao Lang explained.

"That’s an exaggeration," Xu Yang chuckled awkwardly.

Earth would keep spinning without any one person, and the school would still operate and progress without him.

He didn’t believe he was indispensable.

"Not at all. By the way, I won’t call Yu Xin. Could you pass the message to her?" Gao Lang asked.

"Sure, I’ll tell her. See you tomorrow," Xu Yang said.

After hanging up, Xu Yang told Zhao Yuxin about the conversation.

"’Future double-headed richest,’ they have high hopes for you."

Zhao Yuxin was delighted to hear the counselor’s high praises for Xu Yang.

That was her husband, after all.
