Chapter 599 Stability First, Abandon the Old and Embrace the New

Outside the car window, the night sky of Beijing resembled a flowing galaxy, with neon lights casting dappled reflections on the glass. Shang Youyou, arm in arm with Gao Dongxu, gazed at him with sparkling eyes.

"You recovered five of the zodiac animal heads from the Old Summer Palace?" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Gao Dongxu smiled slightly, looking into her bright eyes. "Hmm, rat head, rabbit head, rooster head, sheep head, and snake head."

Shang Youyou gasped. The bronze animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals from the Old Summer Palace, national treasures that had been lost overseas for over a century, had actually been recovered by Gao Dongxu, with nearly half of them back.

It's worth noting that not long ago, the auction of the bronze animal heads by Europeans sparked a nationwide outcry and public outrage.

"How...how did you do that?" she asked, looking at Gao Dongxu with eyes full of admiration.

Gao Dongxu's fingers gently caressed her palm. "It took a lot of effort. Three were stolen from an international theft ring, and the other two were found from a shipwreck based on historical records."

Looking at Shang Youyou, whose beautiful eyes were wide open and who was covering her red lips with her hand with an expression of disbelief, Gao Dongxu laughed and said, "I've been running around outside all this time, not just wandering around aimlessly."

"My God, you, you snatched the animal heads from an international theft gang, that was so dangerous! Are you hurt? You're so brave! A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, why did you take such a risk—" Shang Youyou said with a worried and nervous expression as she checked Gao Dongxu's body to see if he was injured.

"Hehe, didn't you check at home this afternoon? You forgot?" Gao Dongxu said with a wicked smile, embracing Shang Youyou's delicate body and teasing her playfully.

Shang Youyou then remembered that the two of them had been playing cards all afternoon, and if there were any injuries, she would have seen them already. She gave him a charming glare and said coquettishly, "From now on, you are not allowed to take risks and do such dangerous things."

"Hehe, okay, okay, I promise I won't do anything dangerous anymore—" Gao Dongxu agreed with a smile, gently patting her back and kissing her forehead a few times.

Shang Youyou nestled in Gao Dongxu's arms, feeling the warmth and security of his embrace. Looking out the window, she suddenly realized that the car wasn't heading towards her home.

"Huh? This isn't the way to my house." She looked up at Gao Dongxu in confusion. "Where are we going?"

Gao Dongxu's lips curled into a mysterious smile. "Going to see someone."

Who is it? It's so late.

"My eldest uncle."

Shang Youyou froze instantly, her blood seemingly freezing in her veins. "What...what did you say?" Her voice rose eight octaves.

Gao Dongxu was amused by her reaction. "I said, I'll take you to meet my uncle."

"No! Absolutely not!" Shang Youyou shook her head frantically, her fingers unconsciously adjusting her hair and dress. "I didn't prepare anything, this dress won't do..." She looked down at her slightly sexy little black dress.

Gao Dongxu smiled and cupped her beautiful, nervous face in his hands. "Listen, darling, my uncle is very easygoing, don't be nervous."

Shang Youyou bit her lower lip, her heart pounding so hard it made her dizzy. "But... meeting the parents is too sudden, I..."

Gao Dongxu didn't give her a chance to hesitate any longer, and lowered his head to kiss her trembling lips. The kiss was gentle yet firm, until her tense body gradually relaxed.

"Trust me, okay?" he whispered, pressing his forehead against hers.

Shang Youyou took a deep breath and nodded. Gao Dongxu smiled and hugged her delicate body.

The car drove into the Zhejiang Provincial Government's office in Jing. Shang Youyou's legs went weak when she got out of the car, and she almost fell, but Gao Dongxu caught her steadily.

“Relax,” he squeezed her hand, “just like meeting an ordinary elder.”

Shang Youyou rolled her eyes inwardly. An ordinary elder? What family has such a large, ordinary elder?
Gao Dongxu led her by the hand to the door of a luxury suite and knocked.

When the door opened, Shang Youyou saw her refined and gentle uncle, who stood upright with a faint smile on his face, but with piercing eyes and an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

“Uncle,” Gao Dongxu greeted with a smile, “I brought Youyou to see you.”

Shang Youyou felt all the blood rush to her face, and she instinctively hid behind Gao Dongxu.

The uncle's gaze swept back and forth between the two, finally settling on Shang Youyou. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that his good nephew was indeed quite lucky with women.

The women around him were all incredibly beautiful, and Shang Youyou in front of him was especially stunning.

"Youyou, call him Uncle—"

"Uncle—" Shang Youyou's pretty face flushed red, her voice trembled slightly, barely audible, and she bowed deeply. "I am Shang Youyou."

"Hello, Youyou, come in—" Uncle glared at Gao Dongxu, who was chuckling, and said with a smile. Gao Dongxu ignored his uncle's gaze, put his arm around the nervous Shang Youyou's slender waist, and walked into the luxury suite, closing the door behind him.

In the living room, Gao Dongxu pulled Shang Youyou's hand and sat her down on the sofa, smiling as he said to his uncle, "Uncle, what do you think? Isn't Youyou pretty?"

Hearing Gao Dongxu praise her like that, Shang Youyou blushed even more, lowered her head with seductive eyes, gently bit her red lips, and lightly tugged at Gao Dongxu's clothes.

The uncle shook his head and chuckled. Looking at the shy Shang Youyou, he had to admit that she was indeed very beautiful and stunning. He nodded and said, "She is indeed very pretty. You should treat her well."

"Hehe, don't worry, Uncle, Youyou is my darling." Gao Dongxu hugged Shang Youyou, his voice smug and proud, as he uttered cheesy sweet nothings that made Shang Youyou's pretty face flush and her heart race.

The uncle chuckled helplessly, looking at Gao Dongxu and scolding him with a smile, "Are you here to show off your love to me on purpose?"

"Hehe, of course not." Gao Dongxu gently stroked Shang Youyou's back, which was tense due to nervousness, to ease her tension, and explained with a smile: "In the evening, I had dinner with Director Luo. After some bargaining, we finally settled on a budget of 300 million. After achieving results, it can be increased every year."

The uncle frowned slightly, nodded, glanced at Shang Youyou, and said calmly, "Three hundred million, not bad, enough for your first year's expenses. However, you need to be moderate and not too aggressive. Do things you are confident about, don't take risks, and the most important thing is to be stable."

"Mm." Gao Dongxu nodded slightly, then gently patted Shang Youyou's back and said softly, "Youyou, go make two cups of tea for your uncle and me—"

"Okay, sure—" Shang Youyou immediately stood up, first bowing shyly to her uncle, then walking briskly towards the restaurant with her long, slender, snow-white legs.

"You—" The uncle looked at Shang Youyou's graceful back, and pointed at Gao Dongxu, who was chuckling, with a helpless yet doting expression.

"Hehe, that's all I'm good at," Gao Dongxu chuckled softly.

The uncle shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and then said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Are you in trouble?"

"It's not a problem, it's just that I'm having a hard time deciding. I have a few things that are incredibly tempting to Director Luo, but one of them, if handed over, will have a huge and far-reaching impact. Although it will bring me great benefits, it also carries the risk of the situation spiraling out of control."

So, I'm a bit conflicted about what to do. Gao Dongxu was genuinely conflicted. Of all the things he could foresee from his trip to your province, there was the Wang family's robot and that corpse with the property of immortality.

"Remember, stability trumps everything." The uncle looked at Gao Dongxu with an extremely solemn expression and said earnestly.

"If you have already foreseen the possibility of things getting out of control, then you must resolutely prevent it and not be tempted by interests, because once things get out of control, you, the beneficiary, will be the first to suffer."

What you need to do is maintain stability and control. Of course, stability doesn't mean inaction; the key is to gain strategic initiative and execute powerful, orderly, and effective tactical actions.

Gao Dongxu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know what to do."

"Yes, that's good to know. It's normal for young people to be ambitious and energetic, but they can't be radical or rush to achieve anything beyond their capabilities. Radicalism means risk."

Stay calm, think things through, and proceed gradually, taking it one bite at a time.

"You know, sometimes when you achieve too much, it raises people's expectations, unless you can consistently achieve great things," my uncle earnestly advised.

"I understand." Gao Dongxu initially wanted to make a big move to gain enough attention and hope that the organization would open up information and power related to the supernatural to him.

It seems that we should take it slow and not rush things. Being too outstanding is not a good thing.

Afterwards, he discussed and learned some experience with his uncle. Around nine o'clock, Gao Dongxu left with Shang Youyou.

Back home, as soon as she entered the door, Shang Youyou let her long, black, wavy hair fall loosely, the ends curling slightly like dancing musical notes, adding a touch of languidness and allure to her.

Amid Gao Dongxu's somewhat amused and expectant mood, Shang Youyou, excited about meeting his parents, pushed him against the wall.

At this moment, her delicate face was full of alluring expression, her fiery red lips were luscious and tempting, like the most beautiful flower blooming in spring, and her eyes were bright and sparkling with excitement.

"I'll take off your shoes—"

As she spoke, she slowly squatted down. In that instant, her charm, playfulness, and sexiness blended perfectly, like an electric current striking straight to the heart, making Gao Dongxu's heart tremble and immersing him in the unique charm she created.

Looking at Shang Youyou, who was serving him meticulously and had transformed into a wealthy lady who devoured money, Gao Dongxu sincerely sighed. He never expected that meeting the parents would have such a powerful effect on her.

The following morning, when Gao Dongxu and he got up early for morning exercise, the learned Shang Youyou kissed him goodbye and headed to the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau with the sea monkey head and human face.

My uncle also brought five suitcases, sat in the car, closed his eyes to rest, and prepared for the upcoming meeting.

On this day, two generations of the Gao family joined together to write a new chapter for the future of the Gao family.
