500: Chapter 479: Rare Goods to Keep 500: Chapter 479: Rare Goods to Keep Be bold and open-minded, Gao Yi couldn’t exactly say he had taught Alexander a lesson, but at least he could provide Alexander with so enlightennt.
A person’s ambition is cultivated in this way.
Perhaps Alexander doesn’t harbor many luxuries right now, only able to accept fate’s arrangents, or rather, accept the unfair arrangents Nikolai gave him.
But with what Gao Yi said, he could offer Alexander a window to view a new world.
Who knows what Alexander might beco.
Alexander did not leave imdiately, even though Gao Yi told him to go back and contact Nikolai, which was essentially a dismissal.
But as a mber of Black Gloves and an elite KGB agent, how could Alexander be soone with thin skin and faint-heartedness?
Ruthless and heartless is the basic upbringing, turning one’s face and denying people is standard equipnt.
Alexander sat unmoving; he fell deep into thought, and Gao Yi decided to give him a bit more ti.
Maybe he didn’t even need to wait; right now, Alexander could surprise him.
Indeed, after pondering for a long ti, Alexander suddenly asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Gao Yi smiled and said, “Like I said, my ambitions are vast, I want too many things.”
“What can you help with?”
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, “I am not sure; it depends on what you need.”
Alexander nodded, then he said earnestly, “These words that want everything, in fact, imply wanting nothing; claiming to want nothing definitely ans there’s sothing you desire.
Better tell what you want, so I can judge whether I can provide it.”
He really is a clever man.
Seeing through appearances to understand the essence, Alexander was not soone easily fooled.
He didn’t believe in this world there existed soone solely for others’ benefit.
Having desires, having sches, that’s what a normal person looked like in Alexander’s understanding.
If soone really approached him wearing the face of an angel, that person would definitely be a devil.
Gao Yi spread his hands again and said, “Eh…”
“Let know what I stand to gain and what I need to sacrifice; I don’t mind making a deal with the devil, but don’t pretend to be an angel, because not knowing your desires would make vigilant and resist.”
After Alexander went so far, what else could Gao Yi say.
“I need a person, Yuri, if you can gain the power you desire, find a way to bring him to .”
Alexander was initially perplexed, but quickly his expression changed to one of realization as he exclaid loudly, “Damn it, I understand now, you are fishing soone out for Northeastern University!”
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, “Not exactly, but however you see it isn’t significant.
To be honest, if you could wield greater influence, wouldn’t our partnership yield greater benefits?
Since you know the poetry of Gao Shi, then are you familiar with the idiom ‘cherish a rare commodity’?”
Alexander nodded and said, “I am aware.”
“You are that rare commodity.
Investing in you, at worst I lose a little money.
If successful, my network gains a strong ally.
You say I’m not an angel?
Wrong, I’m actually an angel investor.”
Alexander remained silent, just staring into Gao Yi’s eyes.
Giving ground to advance, Gao Yi said softly, “There’s still ti; you can go back and think it over slowly, no rush.
I’ll stay here for a few more days, waiting to see if you can connect with Nikolai.
I won’t leave until I’ve t Yuri.”
The na Yuri in Russia is as common as Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao, very common, but Alexander did not need to confirm which Yuri, he directly said Gao Yi was fishing soone out for Northeastern University, so he clearly knew which Yuri he ant.
“I can et Yuri, and I can make it possible for you to et him too.”
Shockingly, Alexander could cut through all the red tape and directly enable Gao Yi to et Yuri.
Unexpectedly, the situation had developed in this manner.
Gao Yi, surprised, said, “Oh, really?”
Alexander continued, “You don’t have to waste ti on Nikolai anymore.
He won’t last many days and will lose his current position soon, but he won’t face serious consequences.
He can retire with the money he earned.
In Russia, this is permissible.”
Gao Yi nodded and said, “I truly didn’t know this.”
“I just can’t be sure who will be the next Director, there are many contenders and a few qualified ones.
So far, at least six candidates, any of them could beco the next Director of the KGB.”
Gao Yi smiled and said, “It seems you were also prepared.”
“But it’s useless because who becos the Director depends on what the President thinks, or rather, the President might choose anyone regardless of experience or ability.”
Gao Yi then asked, “What about you?”
“It’s impossible for , as I am far from that level.
My best outco is to beco the head of a significant unit and earn the qualifications for further promotion.
Only fifteen years later might I have the possibility of becoming Director.”
Alexander sighed and said, “I don’t aspire to reach the top in one step.
Running fast isn’t always good; walking steadily and far is my pursuit.”
It’s not about picking a fight, but what Alexander is saying is in conflict with his actual deeds and personality.
“Then why did you beco Black Gloves?”
Being soone else’s Black Gloves yet talking about walking steadily to go far.
Alexander said gravely, “Do you think I had a choice?”
“Er, well, many things indeed don’t offer a choice.”
Alexander gravely said, “I’ll help you et Yuri, and I will arrange it imdiately.
Then, I will look for a suitable person.
I don’t want to rely on anyone anymore, nor do I want to depend on anyone.
I want to control my own destiny.
You’re right about ‘cherish a rare commodity’; you invest in , I invest in others.”
Gao Yi didn’t have the upper hand, for Alexander made it clear he didn’t want to be controlled; he wanted to lead his own destiny.
In the darkness, Gao Yi lit a lamp for Alexander.
The light showed Alexander a direction, and Alexander’s direction was essentially aligned with Gao Yi’s.
That’s enough, there’s no need to control anyone, nor need to seize the initiative.
As long as both parties are aligned in direction, they would naturally co together.
Gao Yi was pleased, he smiled and said, “I await your good news.”
This ti Alexander stood up; now he didn’t need to delve further into Gao Yi.
Before allowing Gao Yi to et Yuri, he probably won’t appear again.
Because only after demonstrating his strength and sincerity as a collaborator, could the current Alexander qualify to beco an ally with Gao Yi, qualify for Gao Yi’s help.
A Black Gloves who lives clearly and transparently, such a person often lives the most painfully.
