Rising from the age of thirty

"Is it convenient? I'll come in and chat. I have something I need to communicate with you." Lu Le asked softly while standing at the door.

Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door: "Okay."

The moment he entered, Lu Le smelled a faint fragrance, which was emanating from Liu Yan.

He couldn't help but sniff curiously, and then was surprised to find that Liu Yan had been taking a bath and was still wrapped in a bath towel.

Liu Yan noticed Lu Le's gaze, her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned her head away: "Find a place to sit."

Lu Le felt very embarrassed at this time and he didn't know what to do.

He thought to himself, if he had known that Liu Yan had just finished taking a shower, he would not have come over.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Liu Yan broke the silence and asked first.

Lui Le hurriedly shifted his gaze in a panic and replied, "It's like this. Tomorrow we are going to a small town called Kava, and we will be traveling with bodyguards. We need seven or eight cars. Do you have a way to get them?"

Liu Yan asked, "Is that town far from here?"

Lu Le replied: "It will take about two hours."

Liu Yan suggested: "In that case, we can rent a car to go there! There are luxury cars everywhere here, and there should be rental services."

Lu Le nodded, but asked doubtfully: "Do you know any car rental companies or drivers?"

Liu Yan shook her head and said, "Here, I only know Assad."

Lu Le didn't want to trouble Assad, and he didn't want Assad to know where they were going.

So he asked, “What should we do now?”

Liu Yan said helplessly: "Although this is a foreign country, the Internet is still very developed, okay? Forget it... There is no point in explaining it to you, just leave the car matter to me."

Lu Le smiled and said, "Hahahaha, I knew you would find a way! By the way, we still need a tour guide. After all, we are not familiar with this place at all."

Liu Yan replied easily: "This is easy to solve."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Le's eyes, and he was secretly happy that it was a wise move to ask Liu Yan for help.

After the discussion, Lu Le left the room.

Liu Yan curled her lips and looked down at herself: What an unromantic guy!

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, and Lu Le slowly opened his eyes.

Last night's rest made him feel refreshed, but he was still a little worried about the upcoming journey.

"Boss, the bodyguards have arrived and are waiting for your instructions at the hotel entrance." Zhou Yongcheng's voice made Lu Le feel a little relieved.

Lu Le sat up, rubbed his eyes, and then said to Zhou Yongcheng: "You arrange for them to have dinner first and give them some time to relax. We will meet here in an hour."

Zhou Yongcheng nodded to show that he understood, turned around and left to deal with related matters.

These bodyguards are all experienced military personnel, and one of them knows English and can help with communication and coordination.

After breakfast, Lu Le walked out of the room and went downstairs.

Liu Yan had been waiting there for a long time and told him that eight Toyota Prado cars had been prepared, and they were diesel versions with powerful power.

Lu Le smiled at Liu Yan and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How much is the car rental price here?"

Liu Yan replied: "They don't rent by the day, but by the week. The weekly rental fee for each car is about 13,000 RMB."

Hearing this number, Lu Le couldn't help but frown, thinking that the price was a bit expensive. But Liu Yan explained that this was still relatively cheap. If you rent a more luxurious car, the weekly rental fee may be as high as 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Lu Le shook his head helplessly, thinking that he only needed the car for a few days, so the rest of the time would be wasted.

However, he had to admit that the merchants here did know how to do business and were able to find a suitable business model to make a profit.

"Brother Le, are you ready to go? Do you need to buy something?"

Lu Le thought for a moment and said, "Let's just buy some food and some water. Let's get some water and dry food."

Shitou nodded and turned to go shopping.

Lu Le turned to look at Liu Yan and asked, "Did you find the guide I told you about last night?"

Seeing that he hadn't seen anyone yet, Lu Le added with some worry: "We are running out of time, we must set off today."

He thought to himself, who knows when Assad's people will discover the oil fields, he must be one step faster than them.

Of course, the faster, the better.

Liu Yan quickly replied: "When I went to the car dealership, the boss introduced him to me. He said he was very reliable. I have already met him. He is an old man and will be here soon."

Lu Le nodded in agreement and then stopped talking.

A moment later, an old man came in. He was wearing a simple robe, a white hat on his head, and his face was full of traces of time.

Liu Yan communicated with him in Arabic very friendly, while Lu Le on the side had a confused look on his face and did not understand what they were saying at all.

What's worse is that the old man doesn't speak English, which makes Lu Le feel very helpless.

When the old man learned that Liu Yan and the others were going to the town of Kawa, he kindly reminded them that the journey might not be easy because of the raging sandstorms in the past few days, which had caused some sections of the road to be covered, which might cause difficulties for their journey.

Liu Yan walked up to Lu Le and asked with concern: "Brother, do you have a walkie-talkie ready?"

Lu Le looked at her with confusion, thinking: "??? Do I still need to bring that thing?"

Lu Le never thought about preparing equipment like a walkie-talkie, after all, he had no experience in desert travel.

Liu Yan slapped his forehead and secretly thanked his luck that the old man reminded them in time, otherwise it would be too dangerous for them to set out on the road like this.

"Don't worry, our bodyguards haven't come back yet. I'll notify Lao Zhou immediately and ask him to buy a few walkie-talkies." Liu Yan comforted.

Lu Le couldn't help but sigh that he was still too naive and had not considered these details at all.

When Zhou Yongcheng heard that a walkie-talkie was needed, he was dumbfounded. It turned out that he had thought of it before but had completely forgotten about it.

By the time everything was ready, it was already half an hour late. At this time, Liu Yan was talking to the old man about something, and they were talking to each other.

Lu Le asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yan said angrily, "He is asking for too much. We clearly agreed at the car dealership that he would be paid 10,000 US dollars to lead the way, but now he wants 20,000 US dollars."

Lui Lok was filled with black lines on his face.

A guide of ten thousand?

Now it has become 20,000 again. Not to mention Liu Yan, even he can't bear it.

"Forget it, just give it to him. The most important thing is to leave safely and come back safely." (End of this chapter)
