Chapter 258: Chapter 245: It’s Fast

Gao Yi returned to his room.

Lucy had woken up, and so had Luca, but when it came to whom to care about first, it was naturally Lucy first.

"How are you feeling? Better now?"

Lucy usually didn’t show much expression, nor would she hold onto Gao Yi and talk too much. But as the time they knew each other grew longer, the possibility of a spark of romance striking between her and Gao Yi became slimmer and slimmer.

It was just too hard to make a move when you knew someone too well, especially because Lucy completely lacked a vital condition to become a girlfriend.

What condition?

The mature and stable but most importantly, the safe psychological condition.

Lucy nodded and said, "Much better."

Then there was silence.

Gao Yi didn’t feel awkward, just that there was nothing to say.

"Alright, you continue to rest, I’ll go check on Iron Rooster."

This was in the French External Security Bureau’s territory, and heaven knew if there were eavesdropping devices around. To be safe, he certainly wouldn’t use real names.

Gao Yi bid farewell and was about to leave when Lucy suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Gao Yi looked at Lucy, who seriously asked, "Are there a lot of women here?"

Gao Yi looked at Lucy in surprise, and she continued earnestly, "If you don’t want to explain, it’s okay not to."

"No, there are, but it doesn’t matter..."

Lucy said seriously, "Parisian women are very proactive; you must be careful not to let them hop into your bed so easily."

"No, don’t talk nonsense, who told you this?"

"Nanny, she doesn’t like Parisian women, and neither do I."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Gao Yi turned around to say, "Come in."

The door opened, and Emily poked half her body in. She saw Gao Yi and also noticed Lucy. She smiled apologetically and then said, "Marina has asked you to come to her office."

"I’ve just come back..."

Gao Yi said helplessly before asking puzzledly, "What’s the matter now?"

"I don’t know the specifics, Marina said to come when you have time, not immediately. So if you’re busy, you can deal with your things first."

After saying that, Emily smiled and said, "I’ll leave you be then, I’ll wait outside."

The door closed again.

As Gao Yi looked at Lucy, for some reason, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Honest to God, there was absolutely no issue between him and Emily. But for some reason, he just felt uneasy.

Lucy glanced sideways and suddenly said, "You are quite familiar with her."

"No."

"You have close contact with her."

"No... it’s just... um."

Couldn’t it be helped? In the equipment room, when Gao Yi was teaching Emily that move, he of course had to personally show her how to do it.

Why were there so few male and female Kung Fu masters and disciples? It’s because when teaching a disciple, a master inevitably has to correct their movements, so this close contact is essential.

Gao Yi said earnestly, "I taught her in half an hour how to beat her own coach. It was just normal physical contact."

Lucy nodded and said, "That’s alright then, it’s nothing."

Gao Yi was somewhat astonished, just like that? That’s it?

Seeing Gao Yi seemed a bit confused, Lucy confidently smiled and said, "How can she compare with me, right?"

She wasn’t wrong.

Nowadays, Gao Yi saw any woman with clear eyes. The reason was that Lucy was too beautiful, living beside such a stunning beauty, his standards had become too high.

In terms of appearance and figure, Emily couldn’t compare to Lucy.

Gao Yi felt complicated, but fortunately, it wasn’t a big deal. He chuckled awkwardly at Lucy and then left her room.

Sure enough, Emily was waiting outside.

Seeing Gao Yi, Emily whispered, "Your girlfriend? I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful."

"Uh, thank you."

He didn’t deny it, not out of arrogance to assume that any woman who saw him would fall for him, but because Gao Yi also wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Please wait a moment, I have some things to explain to my companion."

Gao Yi pushed open Feng Biao’s room door.

"Brother Feng, are you awake?"

Feng Biao woke up and looked towards Gao Yi with a smile that came from the heart, "I’m awake, I’m fine."

"Brother Feng! I’m here seeking technical support."

Feng Biao was awake, and so were his roommates, Lin Xianghua and Li Jie.

But Gao Yi wasn’t here to check on them; he came for crucial technical support.

Standing by Feng Biao’s sickbed, Gao Yi asked very seriously, "A woman in her forties, the person in charge here, how should I win her over?"

Feng Biao was puzzled, Lin Xianghua was shocked, and Li Jie was baffled.

"You’re sticking to Lucy and still... unsatisfied?"

Li Jie was the first to speak.

Lin Xianghua immediately said, "Boss, you should be careful, Berserker will not let it go... she will be heartbroken."

Li Jie muttered in a low voice, "In her forties, and you still fancy her?"

Feng Biao immediately said, "You all don’t know anything! Boss, maybe it’s still true that you understand best, this woman..."

Gao Yi declared, "Are you all just idling around? This is serious business! It’s about pleasing her without sycophancy, not about getting her into bed, but making her not dislike me, feel good about me, not set traps or pitfalls for me."

After finishing, Gao Yi spoke with a face of helplessness, "This woman, she’s too formidable, hard to deal with, and the kicker is she’s also very pretty, very charming, very outstanding. An outstanding woman has a lethal attraction. I don’t want to make a mistake, but I want to win her over, so that’s why I’m asking you for advice, get it?"

Since we know the value of not overdoing flattery, why not use it judiciously?

If we suspect there are bugs or even possibly cameras, then why not go all out praising Marina to death?

There’s a reason Gao Yi is successful, he never slacks off.

Feng Biao’s face showed moved respect, and he nodded, "Boss, you are really thoughtful! I’ve never seen such a sincere handsome man as you!"

Gao Yi frowned, Li Jie seemed to be contemplating, but Lin Xianghua was somewhat dumbfounded, "Are you serious? Is it fun to blow smoke each other’s way? This is kind of sick..."

Suddenly, Li Jie said, "Shut up! Isn’t our boss handsome? Are you blind? Brother Feng, teach us, when you come across... the kind of beauty the boss mentioned, how should you win her over?"

Li Jie was clever, there’s a proverb that goes, ah yes, ’to understand the unspoken implication of something heard.’

Gao Yi looked at Li Jie with relief and nodded. Now it was only Lin Xianghua, who wasn’t so sharp, standing there clueless.

Feng Biao thought for a moment and said, "I think, boss, your greatest strength is your sincerity, you never lie. If you say that woman is pretty, then she definitely is really pretty; if you say she is charming, then she really is charming! So I think you just keep your sincerity. If you think something’s good about her, say it boldly and confidently. If it’s not good, just don’t mention it, that’s all."

Gao Yi nodded and said, "Alright, then I’ll go meet her again. Sigh, it’s a bit of a hassle. You know, when I see a beautiful woman, I get tongue-tied, I just don’t know what to do. And the woman I met today is exceptionally charming, mature and sensible with a great figure, she even has a particularly nice body scent, it’s hard for me, I’m worried I’ll mess up if I get flustered. Okay, you guys rest, I’m off to see her."

Gao Yi said this as he walked out.

I hope there really are bugs, otherwise all this cheesy talk would have been for nothing.

Gao Yi felt he was degenerating, becoming more and more like Feng Biao, the flatterer.

It’s been proven that no matter the age, the position, the status, the job, if it’s a woman, she likes to be told she’s beautiful and charming.

After discovering that Marina was actually falling for this, what else could Gao Yi do but launch a fierce attack on the enemy’s weakness?

Emily was still waiting outside the door, and as soon as she saw Gao Yi emerge, she immediately put on a smile.

Drawing close to Gao Yi, Emily whispered, "Mr. Busan, can you talk to Marina and let me join in the action with you? I really want to go on a mission, I do, would you help me?"

"No."

Gao Yi was not so polite to Emily.

There was no need; it was important to avoid unnecessary complications.

Gao Yi continued towards Marina’s office, but at that moment, Emily, still helpless but polite, said, "This way, she’s not in her own office."

Gao Yi followed Emily and turned towards a larger office, one where many people worked together.

Marina stood in front of a whiteboard, pen in hand.

No way, did Marina really not hear how he praised her to death behind her back?

Seeing Gao Yi and Emily approaching, Marina couldn’t help but smile, then she immediately said, "Mr. Busan is here, I don’t need to repeat myself, Emily translate."

Marina spoke in French, and Emily translated into English.

"The Intelligence Bureau sent information that the British, to avoid provoking us, has already withdrawn Iron Fist George back to London. My idea is that since they’ve gone back, we should take the initiative to go there, we absolutely cannot let the British get an advantage and then just leave."

With a circle drawn on the whiteboard, Marina tapped it hard and said, "Mr. Busan is invincible, so after you go to London, provoke Military Intelligence Sixth Department, force them to act, the main goal is to break Iron Fist George’s leg, secondary goals are to break as many legs as possible. That’s it!"

The plan, simplistic to the point of absurdity, suited Gao Yi’s taste perfectly.

After Emily translated, Marina continued, "This afternoon, you’ll split into four groups, drive to the UK, and if it’s inconvenient to retreat after acting, then head to the sea, take a yacht out to the waters, and we’ll arrange a boat to take you home. This is a very safe way to withdraw. Any other questions?"

Gao Yi was startled after listening and said, "We’re going today?"

Marina turned and looked at Gao Yi, "Yes, today. Any problem with that?"

"I... I’m injured."

"The fact proves that no one is your match even with one hand. Any more questions?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "It just feels a little sudden, but no problem."

Marina tossed the pen away and clapped a few times, "Alright everyone, get ready to move out. Mr. Busan, please come with me, I have a few more words for you."
