Chapter 394: Chapter 382 Tacit Consent

The atmosphere relaxed, and Tang Jianguo finally began to inquire about other matters.

Paying a hacker a million-dollar annual salary seemed a bit excessive, as even the most talented hackers don’t make such high earnings. They might manage to make as much money with their skills, but nobody gives them such high pay.

However, a hacker working for spies definitely merits a million-dollar annual salary, because the job is very dangerous and lacks any security. Once discovered, it means the end of one’s life, or at least a complete change of life. So, nobody would do it for less money.

In terms of Tang Guo’s abilities, she deserves a million-dollar annual salary.

Tang Jianguo was shocked; he had never imagined his sister could earn so much. He truly hadn’t expected it.

Tang Jianguo was interested in money, so they might as well speak in terms of money.

"Tang Guo is an outstanding hacker, which is why I am willing to offer her the highest salary."

"Do hackers earn that much? No, do spies earn that much?"

Tang Jianguo asked doubtfully, then waved his hand and said, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m just asking out of curiosity. No matter how much you offer, I can’t let her do such dangerous work. As for the money, I am not short of it and I won’t let my sister take risks for it."

"Tang Guo is a hacker, this is not only her favorite job but also her specialty. Tang, may I ask boldly, even if she doesn’t work for us, do you think she would be willing to do something else?"

Tang Jianguo coldly said, "I won’t mention other things, but I think joining a regular company and working in computer technology is definitely not a problem. Even if she has to be a hacker, it’s still better for her to join a government department in the United Kingdom than work for you."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, logically speaking, that should be fine. However, is she willing to go? And considering your profession, wouldn’t there be some influence as well?"

Zhang Yong gestured dismissively, then said seriously, "Let’s not talk about that. I have just one thing to say – if any of you can change Tang Guo’s mind, then go ahead and try."

Tang Jianguo snorted but found himself at a loss for words again.

Yang Yi said in a low voice, "Have Tang Guo take charge of our network center. If there’s any issue, contact would be online or through a few phone calls at most. She won’t be in too much danger. And if, after a while, Tang Guo is tired and doesn’t want to work with us anymore, it’s fine, I won’t persist. What do you think?"

Zhang Yong laughed and said, "A million dollars a year is quite a lot, but the key isn’t how much money it is, but that Tang Guo can realize her value in these matters."

Yang Yi pointed at Tang Jianguo and smiled, "Besides, she’ll be in London and can receive your care. Although there is some risk, nowadays, what doesn’t involve risk, right?"

Tang Jianguo chuckled bitterly twice, then shook his head with a helpless expression, "There’s no way around it, really no way."

Yang Yi nodded, then he said to Tang Jianguo, "There’s another matter I’d like to trouble you with, Tang."

"Let’s hear it."

"Is that piece of land where we’re temporarily staying yours?"

"It’s mine."

Yang Yi spoke in a low voice, "I want to buy it, I wonder if you’d be willing to part with it?"

Without hesitation, Tang Jianguo said, "Sorry, I can’t sell that land. It’s no problem for you to bury two people there, but I can’t sell it to you. That land is very important to me."

In this matter, Tang Jianguo was actually very considerate. He not only sheltered the seriously injured Brian and his group but also sent them to his countryside villa to hide. He agreed to let Yang Yi bury Mike and Charles on his land, so in reality, Yang Yi owed him a big favor.

Since Tang Jianguo was not willing to sell, there was nothing more Yang Yi could do about it.

"If that’s the case, so be it."

Tang Jianguo exhaled and asked, "When will you leave?"

"Very soon, today is a bit of a stretch, but if nothing unexpected happens, we’ll leave tomorrow."

"Aren’t you going to say goodbye to the team leader?"

Yang Yi said in surprise, "You know the team leader?"

Tang Jianguo smiled and said, "We’re both in London, both Huaxia people, what do you think? If the team leader hadn’t pleaded with me, do you really think I was just being charitable? To be honest, the team leader and I have been supportive friends for many years; I must give him face."

Yang Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, thank you."

Yang Yi thanked Tang Jianguo again. Tang Jianguo stood up from in front of the round table and said, "Since you’ve come, let’s have a meal together. I’ll treat for lunch. I’m going to make arrangements now; you guys should have a good talk with Guo Guo."

After Tang Jianguo left with his people, and once he was gone, Zhang Yong said in a low voice, "What a muddled account."

In the end, Tang Jianguo did not give a clear statement, but he tacitly allowed Tang Guo to continue working for the Organization of Water.

Yang Yi said in a low voice, "We owe the team leader another favor. Alright, bring Tang Guo in and explain a few things to her."

It wasn’t long before Tang Guo came back in, along with Schultz.

Tang Guo still had a look of grievance on her face. Yang Yi said softly, "Don’t feel wronged; your brother is just looking out for you. You should feel fortunate to have such a brother; being cared for is a blessing."

Tang Guo pouted and said, "Oh."

Yang Yi whispered, "Schultz, Tang Guo, we are leaving tomorrow, but I will leave the money with you. Our cyber intelligence center will continue to be built as planned. Contact me by phone if there’s any issue."

Tang Guo said in a low voice, "But I don’t want to stay in London."

Yang Yi replied gently, "You must stay. Right now we don’t even know where we’re going. If we go somewhere without even internet access, how can you two function?"

Tang Guo nodded slightly and said, "We’ll handle it."

"Do as you think best. The money is left for you two; make sure to stay safe and listen to your brother for advice about anything."

Yang Yi was already feeling tired. After he finished speaking, he said, "That’s settled then, there’s nothing else to say."

Seeing that Yang Yi had nothing more to say, Schultz cautiously asked, "Boss, where will you all go?"

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Don’t ask; I don’t know where we’ll end up either."

Schultz asked carefully again, "Then can you take me with you?"

Yang Yi said with surprise, "Take you? Didn’t I tell you? We don’t know if there will be internet where we’re going, and it will be very dangerous. What do you want to come with us for?"

Schultz said softly, "You’ll need me; you certainly will. Are we only going to perform remote intrusions?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "At least for now, we don’t need you. Just stay comfortably in London, we’ll be resting for a while, and when we need you, we’ll call you."
