From another angle, even as a non-cultivator, Lin Qingxue had some inkling that this so-called Red Buddha Society and the Blood-Clad Sect behind it were bad news.
Otherwise, her family would’ve been living peaceful days, not getting hit with accidents every few days, even facing life-threatening dangers.
Though Lin Qingxue was a woman, she was far from weak.
She knew in her heart that her husband, Xu Fei, was a capable man, able to handle these threats and keep the family safe.
To avoid holding him back, Lin Qingxue nodded after some careful thought and said, “No problem, honey, I think it’s doable, but if you’re heading to the capital to set up a branch, will you need start-up funds?”
Lin Qingxue was pretty reasonable, she understood that while Xu Fei’s trip to the capital seemed like it was about opening a branch, it was really about getting closer to the Red Buddha Society.
That said, the folks at the Red Buddha Society weren’t fools, they’d managed to take root in the capital, so they likely had their own informants.
If Xu Fei went there and set up a branch that looked small-scale and uncompetitive, his move from Jiangbei to the capital would raise some serious eyebrows.
Xu Fei couldn’t help but give a wry smile at that.
The money he had, to put it modestly, was enough to last several lifetimes.
Plus, during his military days, countless tycoons and magnates from around the world had sought his medical help, owing him favors left and right.
If Xu Fei headed to the capital to start a branch and let even a whisper of it slip, by the next morning, he’d probably wake up to a lineup of shiny, unnamed companies laid out for him to pick from.
But after mulling it over, he realised that since this was a covert operation, setting up a branch too blatantly wouldn’t do.
So he leaned in close to Lin Qingxue’s ear, whispered a few words, and she instantly got the gist.
“I get it, honey, how about this, I’ll call a full company meeting soon, then assign you a team to take to the capital, that way it won’t look suspicious, right?”
Xu Fei nodded, and Lin Qingxue wasted no time, swiftly calling the company-wide meeting.
His suggestion had been simple, he needed Lin Qingxue, the real boss, to greenlight it so he could take on the task of opening a branch in the capital.
That way, the start-up funds would naturally come from Lin Qingxue.
Only then would it not seem odd.
After waiting about forty minutes in the office, the meeting wrapped up, and Xu Fei saw Lin Qingxue return.
“Honey, here’s the budget I got approved from finance for you, think it’s enough?”
Xu Fei didn’t even glance at it, just took it and stuffed it in his pocket.
“No need to check, I trust your judgment, where’s the team I’m taking?”
Xu Fei slipped into the role fast, you’d think he’d been a company veteran for years.
Lin Qingxue waved a hand, and a group of energetic young folks immediately stepped over.
“Mr. Xu, hi, I’m Cui Kaize, the team leader for this trip, from now on, just let me know if you need anything, Mr. Xu!”
Xu Fei gave the lively group a friendly once-over, nodding in approval.
