Chapter 60

When Father Ye saw his youngest son sending him a message saying he had something to say, he sighed numbly.

He could already foresee that his youngest son would come to him again with matters concerning Warden. He didn't know whether this time Warden wanted to approve funding for a certain project or whether Warden had taken a fancy to a certain company's information.

Ye Bai came to see him just for these few things.

Father Ye didn't know whether he had chosen the wrong fertility institution or used the wrong mechanical womb. He and his wife were obviously rational people and respected each other.

He doesn't mess around outside, at most he just does it for fun. Ye's mother won't mess around outside either. Her poverty alleviation work is in full swing, and she is committed to popularizing fully intelligent robots in rural areas.

But these two rational people actually gave birth to a son who was in love. This was a bolt from the blue for the Ye couple.

As soon as Ye Bai met Woden, he was like a lost soul. If Woden asked for anything he had, he would give it to him.

Even parents wouldn't be so nice to Woden, but Ye Bai did it.

At first, Ye's father couldn't believe it and tried several times. After he found out that it was really what he knew, he immediately felt that the Ye family was doomed.

After that, he spent several years trying to bring Ye Bai back from that road of no return, but unfortunately, Ye Bai simply refused to turn back even after hitting a wall.

Until this year, Ye's father had given up.

He has decided to apply for a will. After their death, Ye Bai will only have the living expenses sent by the mastermind every year.

However, Ye's father was still unwilling to give up. He had built up such a huge family business and became the Minister of Finance. He had money, power, and status, and he desperately wanted to have his own bloodline pass it on.

The same goes for Ye's mother. She worked hard to fight for herself. Besides wanting it herself, she also wanted someone to inherit her power and status. But now...

The Ye family couple looked at each other in the holographic image and sighed at the same time.

Just when they were worried, it was time for them to make a holographic call to Old Madam Ye in the countryside.

However, during this call, they saw Ye Wangxing passing through the new image.

The Ye couple's eyes lit up.

When the Ye family couple sent their eldest son to Old Lady Ye's home in the countryside, they wanted to leave a backup plan for the family.

After all, one of the Ye family couple is responsible for poverty alleviation, while the other controls the financial power. It is not a good thing to concentrate power in one family.

Although the current emperor trusts them 100%, what about when the next emperor takes office?

Their Emperor doesn't seem to be in good health, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will retire early to recuperate.

Even if they had an alliance with Prince Woden, but...

Father Ye recalled his son's servile behavior and Prince Woden's attitude towards his son.

...Even a marriage alliance is not safe, as his youngest son will definitely not notice Prince Woden's situation.

Even if his youngest son was smart enough to figure out how to stop Worden in advance, his youngest son's political operations - to be honest, if you take out an old-fashioned keyboard and sprinkle some rice on it, Biological Chicken can operate it better than him.

The youngest son is considered useless. The Ye family couple has already discussed it. When the time comes, they will find someone to help look after him. When Warden gets tired of him, they will forcibly take him back and give him a few million dollars a year to let him live a good life.

It still depends on whether the eldest son can inherit the family property.

——After all, that’s hundreds of billions of assets!

Although it is not as good as the inestimable assets of the richest man, it is also a wealth that many people dare to dream of.

If they really donate it to the empire like this, their hearts will bleed!

So under the operation of Ye's father, the backup plan he left behind more than 20 years ago finally came in handy, and his eldest son finally arrived at the capital star a week ago.

Although it was somewhat unexpected for him, his eldest son looked a little cowardly and like a frightened little animal, and looked weaker than his youngest son.

But at least he is a normal person!

You may even start from scratch and build a career!

Although it is just an app that sells some cheap small commodities and is a bit immature when it comes to promoting itself, the logistics and other facilities of the app are already very mature!

And what does it matter if he is a little immature when promoting himself? After all, he is a normal person with normal business thinking!

After Ye Bai's ordeal, Ye's father lowered his requirements for the heir a lot. When he saw Ye Wangxing, he even felt that he was somewhat outstanding.

He was thinking with some relief, it's great, finally a normal person has come, now he doesn't have to worry about no one inheriting the family property.

Ye's mother was also very fortunate. After spending three days with Ye Wangxing and confirming that Ye Wangxing was able to assume the responsibilities of an heir, she boldly went to a remote planet in the countryside to preside over poverty alleviation work.

Although Ye Wangxing was looked down upon by the nobles these days, he never backed down, which made Ye's father quite satisfied.

So much so that when he saw his youngest son today, he was somewhat reluctant, but after all, he was his biological son, so Father Ye finally sent a message of consent to his youngest son and asked him to come to the study.

When the youngest son rushed in waving a light computer in his hand, Father Ye was too lazy to say anything to him and just asked directly.

"What does Woden want to see you about this time? I won't do anything against the rules. Ask him to prepare the paperwork for me, or don't blame me for reporting it to His Majesty."

Father Ye spoke rapidly.

This sentence has become his conditioned reflex, to prevent Ye Bai from seizing on the loopholes in his language and racking his brains to make him help Woden.

'well……'

Father Ye sighed numbly again. He really wondered if he had done something wrong in his previous life to give birth to such a little son.

But there is no way I can lose my biological child.

"Fortunately, we still have our eldest son. We should give him more pocket money later. We owe him that money. Even though he knows his responsibilities, he has never blamed us. But we can't let a good child suffer."

"It just so happens that the company has just started, and no matter how much money we invest, it may not be enough. We can also observe whether our eldest son will be interested in his shares that are the foundation of his life."

Father Ye was thinking carelessly, but the next second he heard his youngest son screaming.

"Dad! This really isn't about Woden!"

Father Ye looked up with a puzzled look on his face. It was not about Woden. When did his youngest son think of him?

"It's about Big Brother, Ye Wangxing!"

Ye Bai didn't keep anyone in suspense and told everyone everything in one breath.

"I caught my brother dating four men within an hour last night. He also gave each of them gifts. This morning, he put those four men on the homepage of his company's app as models for him to sell the same men as substitutes!"

This series of sentences without even any punctuation took Father Ye a long time to react before he uttered a word.

"ah?"

Ye's father was at a loss. Even if he called Ye Wangxing to his side, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only ask him to sit down while he organized his words.

In fact, Ye's father was furious at the beginning. He thought that his eldest son had also embarked on the same path of no return as his younger son, and was even more excessive than his younger son. At least the younger son only licked one, but he was licking all four.

Until Ye Bai heard what his father said, he said with a strange look on his face: "Dad, you should take a look at this before making a conclusion..."

Father Ye was a little surprised now. He turned around and saw Ye Bai putting four computer pages in front of him.

One is that the furry persimmon looks bright red, which not only pleases children but also makes adults feel festive.

Another page shows a wool blanket that looks very thick, but what is strange is that this wool blanket does not seem to be woven by a machine, but rather looks like it was woven by hand.

When he looked down at the product name, Father Ye immediately understood.

"Ancient wool finger DIY knitted blanket scarf thick ice stripe blanket quilt hand-woven cushion for boys and girls social banquets of the same style..."

These densely packed product names are obviously written by his eldest son’s app. In order to get the algorithm working, he wrote down almost all the names.

In the interstellar world, any merchant with a bit of taste would not do this. Every merchant wants to make their products of the highest quality to earn money from rich people.

Ye Wangxing chose to make money from ordinary people, but this is also a niche track. At least it is not so crowded, and there is no problem in making money. Ye's father even praised his eldest son before.

But why do the models with their faces covered on these two pages look a little familiar?

Ye's father was confused, and then Ye Bai said seriously.

"Dad! Can't you tell that these two model pictures are Mr. Samos and Mr. Janus?"

This made Father Ye finally realize that the two models were indeed the two gentlemen mentioned, and familiar figures seemed to appear on the remaining two pages as well.

The third page is another tourism business developed by Ye Wangxing’s small company.

The travel destination is the small planet that was also given to Ye Wangxing along with the pocket money from Ye's father.

Gold mines had just been discovered on that planet, but there are many planets in the interstellar space that contain gold mines. Although they are still linked to the currency, they no longer require national control. This also allowed Ye's father to give the small tourism project above to his eldest son as compensation.

And now, his eldest son has launched a tourism project using that small planet.

- Smelt gold ore for your lover and purify it to make a ring or other jewelry.

And the person placed as an advertisement on the homepage, Mr. Ye, could be recognized at a glance as Admiral Otas.

This man's figure is one of the best in the entire empire.

Now, Admiral Otas wears a golden snake ring on his index finger, and the official website also announced that the ring was made on this planet.

According to the Advertising Law, if they dare to release it, it means that they are either not afraid of being sued, or this matter is true.

The last page is the fruits from the fresh food supermarket on the APP, but they are molded into a heart shape.

The person who appeared this time was Count Uno, and the words "same model alternative" also appeared on the product page.

Father Ye felt that the answer was vaguely in front of him.

Ye Bai also said this in a sad tone at this time.

"Dad...these were the four men that Big Brother dated last night."

Father Ye almost fell off the sofa.

"When did your brother get in touch with these four people? And he gave them such cheap gifts!"

Ye Bai directly told everything that happened last night, including the fact that the gift Ye Wangxing gave them was not cheap.

——However, these substitutes would never dare to sell these gadgets that plagiarize their boss on the platform without Ye Wangxing’s permission.

This also made Ye's father a little confused. He didn't understand what Ye Wangxing was doing.

So he decided to call Ye Wangxing to have a good talk with the child.

It was not until the others arrived that Ye's father recalled that when Ye Wangxing came back, he said a few words of encouragement to him at the family dinner and gave him a few small stars as a gift, and then started to busy himself with the mid-year report.

They suddenly forgot about Ye Wangxing and didn't even hold a party.

"...I'll have to make up for this child later." Father Ye thought.

However, his expression relaxed and he asked Ye Wangxing.

"Wangxing, Dad called you over because I wanted to ask about what happened at the party last night. I heard from your brother that you seemed to have reconnected with a few friends last night?"

What Mr. Ye said seemed to relieve the young man's tension.

His face flushed slightly and he nodded.

"I met up with those friends from before and gave them some gifts. The reason why my pocket money fluctuated a bit was because of this."

"It doesn't matter. After all, the pocket money handed to you is yours. But Dad still has a question. What is the relationship between you and those four people now?"

Father Ye had been in a position of power for a long time, so even though his tone was gentle, it still gave off a sense of oppression. He asked this question as if he was interrogating him, which frightened the young man a little, and the blush on his face faded.

Fortunately, the young man had a strong ability to adapt and quickly answered Ye's father.

The answer is somewhat unexpected.

"Well, although it's a bit ridiculous, actually, they and I..." the young man said shyly.

"…It's an ex-boyfriend relationship."

Father Ye: ...

He was silent for a long time and then asked, "All of them?"

The young man nodded slowly.

"Huh?"

Father Ye rarely made a duck-like sound.

Fortunately, the young man did not have the habit of questioning his father, so he did not ask any questions.

Father Ye stood up and walked back and forth in the study room for 10 times before finally sitting back on the sofa and speaking.

"So you two are ex-boyfriends, why did you give them gifts at the party? And you dated four people in one hour! No, they didn't take advantage of you, did they? Wait, what's the matter with you being a substitute product?"

Ye Si, the youngest finance minister in the history of the empire, is now spitting out garbled text like an AI infected with a virus.

Fortunately, after he calmed down temporarily, the young man finally had the opportunity to explain the problem one by one.

"...Originally, I had planned to end my relationship with them once I broke up, so I made a parting gift as a farewell to the past, but I didn't expect to run into them at the party."

The young man said this with a happy smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that after they accepted the gift, they confirmed that we were friends."

Father Ye: ...

Wait, is my son a scumbag or not?

It seemed that he didn't go there with the intention of falling in love with them, he just wanted to say goodbye to the past, but he didn't expect to get a surprise.

It seems that it is none of other people's business who or how many people people people give gifts to after a breakup.

But I've never heard of those four becoming friends with their ex-boyfriends, so this doesn't seem right.

Father Ye was confused by the thoughts in his mind, and finally decided to cut the Gordian knot and asked.

"Let's not talk about other things first, son, tell me first, what do you think of them?"

Looking at Ye's father's eyes that were as sharp as a hawk, the young man sitting opposite Ye's father said with a firm expression.

"We are friends!"

Father Ye: ...

A 'Do you take me for a fool?' expression slowly spread across his face.

The young man's expression gradually wavered, and finally he lowered his head.

"…I still have some delusions in my heart, always thinking that it would be great if we could get back together."

There was a strong sense of sadness in the young man's voice.

'Have you ever thought about who you want to get back together with?'

Father Ye thought with a headache, and felt that this was really a tricky situation.

If his son was a bit of a scumbag, Father Ye could at least find a solution, but now...

My son is sincere!

However, what makes my eldest son better than my younger son is that he knows how to make money. Even when giving gifts to other people, he did not forget to launch a similar product at a lower price to make some money back for himself.

You can even take this opportunity to make this app famous.

Thinking of this, Ye's father also asked about the same model at a lower price. After suppressing his sadness, Ye Wangxing looked up at Ye's father and said with some surprise.

"Because the company needs to eat? And those small planets you gave me before also need employment. Using these hot products will just consume a wave of cheap materials. Isn't this just right?"

As he spoke, the young man raised the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly.

"Besides, they are not the type to mind such a small matter. They can feel my feelings."

As he spoke, the young man raised his chin, appearing very confident.

It was really difficult for Ye's father to comment on the emotional relationship of his eldest son. In the end, he could only let the person go and think about what countermeasures he could come up with.

"By the way, give me a link to the plush tomato. I'll send it directly to your mother's address. She just happened to be in need of news on family relationships, so this can fill the gap."

Father Ye said as he picked out the most expensive largest plush persimmon at 39.9, and he looked quite satisfied.

"By the way, you two should each take one, and remember to post it when the time comes, so that the news won't say that there's discord in our family."

youth:……

Dad, have you forgotten that the manufacturer is right in front of you?

Ye Bai was surprised when he saw Ye Wangxing walking out of his father's study unharmed.

He thought that Ye Wangxing's incident would cause his father's wrath just like his own, and his medical robot was ready.

However, after being pulled into the study by his father to explain the whole story, Ye Bai was shocked by another thing.

What's so surprising about the eldest brother coming out of his father's office intact? What's surprising is that this person is actually the ex-boyfriend of those four people!

What kind of magic does his eldest brother have that makes these four people date him?

"...Dad, have you asked about my brother's relationship history? And why did they break up?"

Ye Bai's look of delighted delight made veins pop out on his father's forehead. If beating children was not prohibited in the empire now, he would really beat Ye Bai to the point that he would need help from a medical robot.

"Your own relationships are a mess, and you're still curious about your eldest brother's relationship history. You should sort out your issues with Woden first! Don't let him be unfaithful and look for someone else every day while you're here and feeling bitter and resentful!"

Compared to his elder son who also had a messy relationship but handled it very well, Father Ye became even more angry when he saw his useless younger son.

Fortunately, Ye Bai saw that the situation was not good, and immediately slipped out of Ye's father's study.

Father Ye sat there, and after finally calming down, he began to think about the emotional accounts of his two sons.

The younger son has already fended for himself, so he just needs to say hello to the Emperor. The key is the issue of the eldest son.

The eldest son's attitude is very clear, that is, he still has feelings for these people.

What exactly were these four people thinking?

Although the status of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was on par with these people, his son was not unworthy of them.

If one of them really likes my son, that would be a good thing, but if the other person doesn't like me, I won't let my son pay for him.

Father Ye thought about it and started observing the four people from the next day to see if any of them had any different feelings towards his son.

On the first day, Ye's father went to the palace and met Prince Janus - and then he saw him basking in the sun in the middle of summer, hugging a cashmere blanket.

Don't let go even if you're sweating from the heat.

Although Father Ye thought that Prince Janus was a little silly, he was still very pleased.

On the third day, Ye's father talked to Count Uno about this year's fiscal and tax issues - and then he saw that the other party brought a private fruit box, which was full of the heart-shaped fruits grown by his son.

Anyone who wanted to take one from him was gracefully refused.

Mr. Ye still had a polite smile on his face. Although he felt the situation was a bit tricky, it was not unsolvable.

On the fifth day, Father Ye saw Admiral Otas who came to the department to apply for military funds. The gold ring was still casually worn on his index finger, and judging from the brightness of the ring, he had rubbed it many times.

Whenever someone asked, Admiral Otas would say in a slightly proud tone that it was made for him by someone personally.

The smile on Ye's father's face was a little stiff, and a chill slowly crept into his heart.

On the seventh day, Ye's father went to the Marshal's house to discuss issues related to military expenditures. Samos came down from upstairs with his cat's eyes narrowed - he was even playing with the persimmon in his hand, which looked more delicate and lovely, and even its fur was softer than others.

The marshal was not willing to touch it, and he even prepared bath sand specifically for the persimmon.

Father Ye: ...

He almost accidentally sounded the alarm in the Marshal's Palace.

After returning home from the Marshal's Mansion, Ye's father was eager to find Ye Wangxing to ask him what he had said to those people at the beginning and what was the reason for their breakup at that time?

However, the butler's answer made Ye's father despair.

"The eldest master was taken to a banquet by the younger master. The invitation was from Prince Woden. However, the banquet is of high standard. I heard that Prince Janus and Admiral Otas will both be there."

The housekeeper saw that Ye's father still looked pale, so he quickly comforted him.

"Don't worry, with those two on security duty, it will definitely be safe. There is no need to worry about the personal safety of the two young masters."

Father Ye slowly turned his head to look at the butler, and a sharp explosion sounded in his heart.

"It's because of those two that the scene is unsafe!"
