(Fourth update, additional update for the 110,000 reward for the leader "Qingcheng Lanyu" on 11/11)

In the corridor.

Ling Lanxin smiled and watched her brother finish the soup.

Then he took a towel from the servant and handed it to Ling Zhou.

Ling Zhou took the towel, wiped his mouth, handed it to the servant, and then followed his sister out.

"By the way, brother, while you were talking with father and others in the study, Qiao Yu came to look for you. He waited for a while, but didn't see you, so he left."

Ling Lanxin suddenly remembered something and said with a smile.

"oh?"

Ling Zhou was stunned. Why was she looking for him?

After returning from Jin Island, he hasn't contacted Qiao Yu since.

Of course, Qiao Yu never contacted him.

He immediately shook his head and didn't care too much.

"Did she say anything?"

Ling Zhou asked casually.

"No, I thought my brother had made an appointment with her."

Ling Lanxin said with a smile.

Ling Zhou shook his head, talking and laughing, and went to the hall with his sister.

After drinking tea and chatting with his sister for a while, Ling Zhou left the main hall and returned to his own courtyard.

"Your Highness, Yu Yin called me an hour ago and said that the research and development task you assigned to her seemed to have a technical breakthrough. She wants to meet with you to discuss the follow-up research and development tasks."

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Ling Zhou heard Chen Yiru's report.

He was about to lie down on the chair to rest, but after listening to Chen Yiru's report, he sat up straight and said, "Arrange for her to come to the palace to see me tomorrow morning."

"yes."

Chen Yiru nodded in agreement.

Then, Ling Zhou fell into deep thought.

Although he has brought a gold mine to Lan Ling, which has helped to ease Lan Ling's economic pressure, this is still not enough. If Lan Ling wants to completely solve its economic problems, hundreds of billions of dollars are not enough.

At least trillions of them are needed.

Trillions!

And it's probably still trillions.

That's amazing.

Therefore, the gold mine only serves as a buffer for Lanling's economy.

What Lingzhou really values is oil.

The world can live without gold, but not without energy.

"I wonder if Yu Yin can bring me good news?"

Ling Zhou muttered to himself.

Afterwards, Chen Yiru notified Yu Yin, asked her to come to the palace tomorrow morning, and made an appointment.

"I'll take a nap. Call me at dinner time."

Ling Zhou yawned lazily, then fell asleep on the chair.

Chen Yiru nodded and dismissed the servant.

…

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Ling Zhou woke up naturally.

He was awakened by a kind of 'incense'.

Light that kind of incense, the fragrance can naturally wake up the sleeping person.

"ha……"

Ling Zhou stretched lazily.

"Your Highness, Her Highness the Princess invites you to dine."

The maid Xiaolian said.

"Well! Where is Butler Chen?"

Ling Zhou looked around but didn't see Chen Yiru.

"Butler Chen is processing documents in the study."

The maid Xiaolian said.

"Um!"

Ling Zhou responded, stood up, washed up, and left the courtyard.

He now has a lot of things to do, big and small, and Ling Zhou is not in charge of them, so naturally he needs Chen Yiru, the housekeeper, to manage them on his behalf.

Of course, generally every week, Chen Yiru would report to Ling Zhou about what happened that week so that Ling Zhou would have a clear idea of what happened.

…

The main hall of the palace, the restaurant.

When Ling Zhou arrived at the restaurant, he was surprised to see his father there. It had been many days since he had a meal with his father.

"Father, mother, sister."

Arriving at the restaurant, Ling Zhou greeted them.

"Well! Sit down."

Father Ling Wenbo said.

Ling Zhou responded and sat down.

"Regarding the development of the gold mine on the north shore of Jindao, I plan to let you manage it. When the time comes, you should prepare yourself and take up the position of general manager."

At the dinner table, father Ling Wenbo said suddenly.

"ah?"

Ling Zhou was stunned, "No way."

Immediately, his face became sad.

He really wanted to say, Dad, are you sure you are not kidding?

With his lazy nature, he has no interest in managing a gold mine.

"That's settled."

Ling Wenbo continued.

Ling Zhou was speechless and looked at his mother.

Gold mines are precious, and there are mountains of gold and silver in them. But, for him now, even if you put mountains of gold and silver in front of him, he would not be tempted!

He now has more than 10 billion US dollars in his hands, and owns a company with ever-appreciating value and unlimited potential. Why would he care about mountains of gold and silver?

Mother looked at Ling Zhou, smiled and shook her head.

She had known her husband's decision for a long time, but she did not object, even though she knew her son would not like it.

But there was no other way. His son would be in charge of the entire Lanling Kingdom in the future. Managing a gold mine now was a training. If he couldn't even manage a gold mine, how could he manage the country in the future?

Ling Zhou was speechless and finally looked at his sister.

Ling Lanxin hesitated and glanced at her brother.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Father, my younger brother just started college and is still young. Why don't we wait until he graduates from college..."

After hearing what his sister said, Ling Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, father, I am still young and I won't be able to convince others if I go!"

"As long as you want, no one dares to disobey you."

Ling Wenbo glanced at him and said.

Ling Zhou was speechless.

As a prince, indeed, as long as he wanted, no matter what the people below him thought, they still had to be respectful, obedient and submissive on the surface.
