Gao Yang really wished he had an assistant; all the little things were driving him crazy. After returning to their base, a few people who hadn’t seen each other for a long time sat together. Gao Yang smiled at Karima and said, "How are your courses going?" Karima smiled and said, "Not bad. Now, I think I could handle an assistant’s position, right?" Gao Yang laughed loudly and said, "Just an assistant won’t do. You should be a manager. Our Solar System Company is seriously lacking in executives, and compared to outside recruitment, I’d definitely prefer to discover talent internally." Karima smiled and said, "I visited your company headquarters in Texas. I have to say, although there are a few decorative pieces around, the basic framework of the company hasn’t been established. You don’t even have a manager who can oversee everything." Little Donnie said bitterly, "It’s too busy now, way too busy. Even I have been sent to the frontlines as an observer, let alone Gao, the big busy man. The things he has to deal with are life-threatening, so now there’s no time to manage the company affairs." Karima pouted and said, "Actually, the company’s affairs wouldn’t be affected; just find a professional manager and let him handle recruitment. It’s a very simple task." Little Donnie nodded and said to Gao Yang, "That’s true. For a PMC company, the most difficult part, you’ve already solved. Now we have plenty of work to take on, just no manpower. Just find someone, and we can do whatever other companies are doing." Gao Yang rubbed his head and said bitterly, "I don’t even have time to find people right now. Let’s put it off for a while. I’ll be going to America in a couple of days, and we’ll see if there’s an opportunity. Um, Karima, are you really unable to be some kind of manager?" Karima shook her head and said, "I’m not capable enough, and it seems like I’m not suited for very public roles." Gao Yang nodded and said, "Yeah, I guess so. Let’s put it off for now, no choice." Number Thirteen suddenly said, "Let Karima be your assistant. You’re the boss, the chairman of the company, and you need an assistant, and Karima is clearly the most suitable for the position because you have too many things that can’t see the light of day, and Karima surely won’t betray you." Number Thirteen would seize any opportunity to push Karima towards Gao Yang, and Gao Yang didn’t plan to refuse this time. Gao Yang said readily, "Alright, Karima, follow me for the next few days and help me out. I’ve really been driven insane by busyness lately." Gao Yang surprisingly agreed, and Number Thirteen, Taylor, and Little Donnie all looked surprised, even Karima had an unbelievable expression because Gao Yang had always been very restrained and conservative in matters . Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Little Donnie, how’s the situation on your side in Nice? Any progress?" Little Donnie shook his head and said, "No, Djo’s villa has been very quiet. God knows when Djo will come back to his villa." Gao Yang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, don’t loosen up over there. You go back to France tomorrow morning, but don’t take the plane. Leave our plane, and have it ready to go to America, on call 24/7. We might need it any day now." Little Donnie said seriously, "By the way, speaking of shipping guns to America, this might be troublesome." "What kind of trouble?" Little Donnie spread his hands, looking puzzled, and said, "Don’t know why, but recently, America’s entry points have been extremely strict with flights coming from Ukraine. Even though there’s no definite anti-terror alert, they’ve tightened checks specifically for private planes. It’s loose on the surface but tight in reality. I think it might have something to do with your activities in Ukraine." After speaking, Little Donnie shrugged and said, "Recently, everything coming from Ukraine has been subject to enhanced checks, but entry from Africa and South America to America has been particularly strict for a while now. Since we haven’t entered America from those two places recently, we’ve not been much affected, but entering from Ukraine would be a hassle. Loose while departing, but extremely strict upon entry, especially for private planes. I suggest we avoid using our private planes to go to Kiev for now unless it’s really urgent. If it wasn’t urgent, I’d take a commercial flight." Gao Yang frowned and said, "What are the Americans guarding against? Could it be related to our recent big moves in Kiev? Alright, that’s quite possible, but it could also be for anti-terror reasons. Didn’t they just recently find a bomb on a plane that had taken off from Africa? Perhaps they got some new intelligence, so strengthening the checks may be possible."

Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "In any case, getting the guns out is our main task right now. Alright, Leonard, it’s time for your medication change. Taylor, we still need to go to the airport to pick up our locksmith expert. His flight arrives early tomorrow morning, so those of you with nothing to do can rest. We need to be in tip-top shape for tomorrow’s operation." Little Donnie said urgently, "Wait, you need to try on the clothes first. Man, we’ve spent quite a bit of money on custom-made bulletproof suits this time, and things are so chaotic now, I think it’s better for you guys to wear them." Gao Yang had previously thrown his bulletproof suit away after going into the sewer, and since his work now suited wearing suits, he had another batch made, ensuring everyone who needed one got one. Gao Yang smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll try on the clothes." Gao Yang changed into a suit, shirt, shoes, and even a brand-name belt. After putting on the clothes, Gao Yang decided not to sleep anymore since it was already late when picking up Little Donnie and Karima. With just over two hours left until Antonio arrived, he decided to head straight to the airport and wait for him. As Gao Yang sat in the bedroom, waiting to leave after resting a bit, Karima knocked on his door and smiled, "I don’t know why, but my brother strongly insisted I come see you and accompany you to pick someone up from the airport, so here I am." In such circumstances, Gao Yang would never leave room for imagination for anyone. He stood up immediately and smiled, "I just picked you up, but no matter, let’s head to the airport now to pick up the person. Taylor! Time to go!" (To be continued.
