Chapter 444 Preparations Before Departure

As Murong Yanran entered, Li Qianqian walked over, holding a brocade box, which was the jade peach gifted by Li Haochen.

"Take this thing back. How could you dare to give such a poor gift?"

"Don't be stingy, it's ten million yuan, hehe."

Li Haochen was too lazy to argue with this menopausal old woman. If she didn't want it, that was good. Taking it back to exchange for ten million yuan was better.

A few minutes later, Murong Yanran came out of Yang Yunfang's room, said goodbye to Li Qianqian and the others, and was driven to the airport by a man who looked like a butler from the Li family.

Li Haochen did not resist this at all. It was very far to get a taxi. It would be foolish not to take a car.

After Li Haochen and the others left, Li Qianqian sighed and shook her head, "Brother, do you think we were a bit too much?"

"Indeed, it's hard to be a bad person. Don't blame yourself. It's for his own good. Once he gets involved, it's likely to harm him."

"Brother, what about Zhan Tailiya? Do they know yet?"

"They shouldn't, but I feel she has some suspicions. Her secretary seems to be investigating Sisi's whereabouts recently. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming is in Binhai and has erased her traces. But I don't think it will be hidden for long. I am very worried about Yanran's safety."

"Is this crazy woman still not giving up? Brother, should we spread the news that sister has passed away?"

Li Yulin fell into thought for a moment, but quickly rejected Li Qianqian's suggestion, "It's not appropriate. You know that woman. She won't stop unless she gets to the bottom of it. Perhaps she will find out about Yanran's existence, which would be more troublesome. If it really comes to that, we'll send them abroad for a few years."

While the Li Qianqian siblings were worried, Li Haochen and his group had already returned to Binhai.

"Oh, I'm exhausted... Hey, hey, hey, be careful, this is Yuan blue and white porcelain, worth eight hundred yuan."

"It's fake."

Li Haochen was speechless. He was amused by how attached she was to this fake.

"It's still Yuan blue and white porcelain even if it's fake. Put it away carefully. I need to buy a rosewood stand online to display it."

"..."

The next day, Li Haochen received another call from Liu Changhe, "Haochen, the departure time has been confirmed, we will depart on August 1st and report on August 2nd. We will handle your passport and visa for you. Remember to be on time. If you miss it, you'll have to sail there yourself, hehe!"

"Don't worry. By the way, who are the participants in this competition?"

"You probably don't know them. You'll know when we gather. I haven't met them either."

"Oh, is that so? Alright, see you then."

After hanging up the phone, Li Haochen couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had originally thought his teammates would be Zhang Yuan and the others, but it didn't matter who they were, as long as they weren't difficult people.

"August 1st? Only a week left, I need to prepare well. I'm going to make a fortune this time, hehe!"

In the evening, Li Haochen went to Binhai Plaza alone. His destination was the fishing tackle specialty store on the third floor, where he could get the equipment he wanted.

As soon as he entered, the beautiful woman who had served him before was sharp-eyed. She recognized him immediately. Wasn't this the rich and handsome guy who bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment? Her heart was overjoyed, and she quickly scurried over. If someone else bought it, it would be a huge loss.

"Hello, Mr. Li. It's been a while since you've been here. Are you looking to purchase any equipment today?"

Li Haochen also recognized her. She had even helped him deliver the equipment home back then. If he hadn't had a girlfriend, he wouldn't have thrown away that little note.

"It's been a while, beautiful. I want to buy two underwater scooters. Do you have any recommendations?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful woman's eyes lit up. These things were expensive, and with a couple of batteries and other accessories, it would cost tens of thousands.

"Mr. Li, please come this way. This is our newly launched product, the Deep Blue Scooter. Although it's domestically produced, its workmanship and quality are first-class. It has three speed gears for quick switching, adapting to different diving loads and water environments. It also comes with dual batteries, providing a battery life of up to 120 minutes, and can withstand the water pressure of 40 meters deep without leaking. It's very cost-effective."

Li Haochen thought the workmanship was indeed good, but what attracted him most was that the third gear speed could reach two meters per second, which was excellent. This time he was going to the United States, and the waters he would be going to might be deeper and farther away, so being too slow wouldn't do.

"I'll take two units, and four extra batteries. Also, get me two underwater strong lights."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful saleswoman immediately smiled. This business alone was tens of thousands of yuan, and her commission would be considerable.

Li Haochen followed the saleswoman to pay. The several photovoltaic power generation panels next to them caught his eye.

"Beautiful, do you sell these too?"

The saleswoman's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked a bit embarrassed. She leaned over and whispered, "Oh, this is produced by the boss's younger brother's company. They said they put it here for display. This is a fishing tackle store, what does it look like with such photovoltaic power generation equipment here."

Li Haochen was very interested. If the installation wasn't difficult, he really wanted to get a set. After all, he had to be careful and cautious on this trip to the United States. With this set of equipment, the batteries for the scooter could be recharged at any time, and he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered. If he brought enough supplies, he could stay in the sea for a very long time.

"Beautiful, I'm very interested. Can you have a professional explain it to me?"

"Uh?... Okay, okay!"

The saleswoman walked to the side, found her phone, and dialed it. Two minutes later, she returned to the counter and said, "Mr. Li, they said they'll be here now. If you're not busy, you can wait in the lounge area over there."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Li Haochen didn't sit for a few minutes before a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit walked over. He looked quite refined.

"You must be Mr. Li. I'm Huang Zishuo, the manager of Len Photovoltaic Power Generation Equipment."

"Hello, Manager Huang. I'd like to learn about your equipment. Please explain it to me."

"Okay, this model is an integrated storage unit, ranging from 3kw to 10kw, depending on your usage. For household use, I recommend the 5kw model. It stores about 15 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, which is enough for a household's daily electricity consumption."

"Let me ask again, is the installation difficult? I need to install it myself."

"It's very simple, Mr. Li. We have detailed installation videos and drawings, and we can provide free on-site installation services."

"Alright, I'll take a 5kw set. Beautiful, calculate the total cost for me."
