23. Eavesdropping device
Nguyen Tuan Anh is a Vietnamese government-funded student whose tuition is paid by the state. After graduation, he is to return to Vietnam to work for five years. His assigned position is Investment Promotion Specialist at the Binh Duong Provincial Industrial Zone Administration.
They are specifically responsible for receiving foreign businesspeople.
Li Xiang went to Vietnam to invest, and Nguyen Tuan Anh needed to achieve results, so the two hit it off immediately.
With the help of Mr. Li, an industry veteran, who personally oversaw the project for his son, SnowFlying's garment factory in Pingyang was quickly built and started operations smoothly.
The factory was rented, and the equipment was second-hand machinery that Lao Li brought from China. A total of 82 workers were employed, many of whom were novices and needed to be trained little by little.
Today is the first day the garment factory is paying wages.
As soon as Vietnam started sending money, Li Xiang's side started flooding the chat with experience points.
Although each employee provides only 1 to 3 points of experience, the total is still considerable.
【…】
[Meets Ruan Mei's core needs | Salary | Experience +2 | Current Experience: 1001/1000]
Upgrade requirements have been met!
Upgrade complete
【Lv3 |精力：125/300丨当前经验：1/10000】
The maximum stamina has increased by 100, but the experience required for the next level up has increased tenfold.
It seems that opening a factory was the right move. If we want to continue upgrading, we can only rely on manpower.
Having learned from the experience of the last upgrade, the first thing Li Xiang did after reaching Lv3 was to activate [Deep Scan] to see what changes had occurred.
The scanning range has been expanded to a radius of ten meters, which feels a bit like a technological version of Observation Haki.
The scanning range in Lv2 stage is only about 1.5 meters. After expanding to 10 meters, it is not only the maximum distance that increases, but also the amount of information within the scanning range.
At the same time, Li Xiang's thinking speed was also enhanced.
The relative time flow rate decreased from 0.5 times to 0.25 times, making slow motion even slower.
Ok?
Among the dense list of prompts, Li Xiang found a warning message highlighted in color.
It was a high-quality reproduction of a Leonardo da Vinci oil painting.
[Not in its original location]
Li Xiang walks in front of this painting every day and never notices that it has been moved.
Did Dalia take the painting down and hide something inside the frame?
Li Xiang suddenly thought of Liu Yaozu's bearer bonds in "The Thirty-Six Stratagems of the Supreme Being," so he quickly moved a chair over, stood on it, and took the oil painting down.
Unexpectedly, a listening device was hidden behind the picture frame.
If it weren't for the system's labeling, Li Xiang wouldn't even know what this thing was.
Li Xiang thought for a moment, then carefully hung the picture frame back in its original place, and began to search the house for any other places that were not in their original locations.

Li Xiang went to the third floor to find Dalia.
"All you do all day is eat. You should get some exercise. Come on, let's go for a run."
"When did you start running?" Dalia asked, turning to look at Li Xiang while watching TV.
"It's never too late to start exercising."
"I'm not running, I haven't finished watching it yet. You go by yourself, I'll wait until I finish watching this episode." Daria couldn't outrun Li Xiang, so she surrendered, "Wait for me to change my clothes and shoes. If you're going to run, go in the morning, why go so late at night?"
Li Xiang urged, "Hurry up."
Li Xiang and Dalia jogged side by side down the street, with Big Foot following behind in his Subaru Forester.
Li Xiang lowered his voice, "I need to talk to you about something."
"What is it?" Dalia became alert.
"There are listening devices in the house. I've already found two, but I don't know how many more there are."
"Then why are you still running? Hurry up and look for it!"
"I've thought about it, and we can't remove this bugging device. If we do, we'll never know who planted it," Li Xiang continued, trying to persuade Dalia. "Originally, we were in the open while they were in the dark. Now that we've discovered the bugging device and they don't know, the situation has reversed."
"I'm not running anymore, I can't run anymore." Dalia shouted and stopped. Taking the opportunity to bend over and catch her breath, she whispered, "If it was the investigation team who planted this, then they've already got their eyes on me. You need to hurry up and get my money out of here."
"If you want it quick, you can do it through a fake contract," Li Xiang explained in detail. "Find a celebrity to endorse SnowFlying, and make a deal with him to sign a dual contract."
"Assuming a 30/70 split, with a nominal endorsement fee of one million, he gets thirty and you get seventy, and that's it."
"You always have so many clever ideas." Dalia's face lit up with joy, then she suddenly thought, "Isn't Natasha the spokesperson for SnowFlying? Let's wait until she gives birth."
"Yeah, her market value isn't high enough. We need to find a big star to boost her endorsement fees."
Dalia caught her breath, straightened up, and looked at Li Xiang. "Go find it."
"Where am I supposed to find someone? Do you think I can trust just anyone I grab off the street?" Li Xiang reminded him, "Don't you have a connection with Gusinski? Go ask him for help; he'll definitely have someone suitable."
Dalia realized what was going on. "You said there were listening devices in the house, but I didn't see any. Could it be that you installed them? Are you deliberately trying to mislead me into contacting Gusinski for you?"
"Dalia, if you talk like that, I won't care about your business anymore. I call you Aunt, just like Natasha does. We're family. Do you think I'd joke about something like this with you?"
Dalia sighed and said, "Being labeled as Khodorkovsky's cronies is troublesome enough. If we get involved with Gusinsky as well, there's no way out."
Li Xiang chuckled lightly, "If you want a way out, go find Potanin. Do you think he'll even bother with you?"
Potanin is the de facto controller of Norilsk Nickel. He is the most pragmatic and was the first of the seven giants to pledge allegiance to the Emperor. He is also the most successful of the seven giants.
While everyone else's influence is shrinking, he is expanding.
Looking at it from Li Xiang's perspective in his previous life, over a longer period, Potanin was also the only evergreen among the seven giants.
Dalia said, "I'm worried that if we take any drastic actions, it might affect my brother and the others."
Li Xiang comforted him, saying, "If there is any impact, it will only be a good one. Gusinsky is living so comfortably overseas, which shows that he has reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Kremlin."
"The closer we get to him, the further we stay away from Khodorkovsky."
"Go ask Gusinski for a list of artists who can work with us. After we finish filming GG, we'll broadcast it on his TV station. Others will avoid him, but we won't."
"No one should look down on anyone else, no matter how bad their fish or shrimp is."
Dalia still had some doubts. "Doesn't this mean we're openly telling Gusinski that we're transferring assets?"
Li Xiang emphasized: "It is a threat when one side holds a handle, but it is cooperation when both sides have handles on each other."
"Beep beep!" Big Foot honked the horn from inside the car.
Li Xiang glanced back and said, "Someone's coming. Don't just stand there, keep running."

Last night, Li Xiang Googled the model of that bugging device and was surprised to find that it was a professional-grade device, capable of transmitting signals up to one kilometer in open terrain.
Fortunately, Green Mountain City is a villa area, and there aren't many buildings within a one-kilometer radius that can hide people.
Li Xiang went for a morning run and took the opportunity to scan his surroundings to see if he could spot anything.
Dalia is such a lazybones. She promised to go for a morning run to lose weight, but she didn't get up even after being called twice. On the other hand, Pavel's daughter, Subuda, volunteered to exercise with Li Xiang.
The Subuland people are of mixed heritage, and they have inherited the best features of both their parents.
"Brother Li Xiang, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Li Xiang was so angry he almost choked. He put his hands on his hips, stopped, and said, "I've already told your mother that only one of the two of you can go. Begging me won't help."
Subu hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "I want to ask you to help me find my father."
"My mom said you have to make an equal exchange, but I don't have anything to exchange with you. I only have myself."
Li Xiang hesitated whether to tell her about Pavel's death, but ultimately decided against it.
"You want your mom to shoot me, don't you?"
"My mom can't." Subuda was amused and laughed, the tears in the corners of her eyes were hard to tell whether they were from sadness or laughter.
Li Xiang said with a serious expression, "I'm a rich man, and the one thing rich people don't lack is pretty girls like you. I can't help you with your matter, so you should go abroad as soon as possible."
Since the dead cannot be brought back to life, this task can only be taken on by Jesus!
