Chapter 60

When Mr. 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 the matter of Warden. He didn't know whether this time Warden wanted to approve the funding for a certain project, or whether Warden had his eyes on 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 pregnancy 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 and at most 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 on rural planets.

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.

Ye Bai was like a lost soul when he met Woden. 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 suddenly 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 receive living expenses from the main brain 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 wanted to pass on his money, power, and status to his own bloodline.

The same goes for Ye's mother. She worked hard for herself. Besides wanting something for 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 a brand 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 for the family.

After all, one of the Ye family members is working on 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, so it's almost certain that he'll have to retire early to recuperate.

Even if they had a marriage 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, even a biological chicken can operate it better than him.

The youngest son is considered useless. The Ye family couple has already discussed that 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 great as the inestimable assets of the richest man, it is still a fortune 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 can even start your own business from scratch!

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

And what does it matter if he's a little immature when it comes to selling himself? After all, he's a normal person with a normal business mindset!

After Ye Bai's ordeal, Ye's father lowered his expectations for his 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 had been looked down upon by the nobles these days, he had never backed down, which made his father quite satisfied.

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

When the youngest son rushed in waving a laptop 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 illegal. Tell him to prepare the paperwork for me, or I'll report it to His Majesty."

Ye's father 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 Warden.

'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 just lose my biological child.

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

"The company is just starting out, so any investment might not be enough. I can also observe whether my eldest son will be interested in his life-saving shares."

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 wasn't about Warden, so 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 everything in one breath.

"I caught Big Brother dating four men within an hour last night. He even gave each of them a gift. This morning, he put those four men on the homepage of his company's app as models so he could sell the same models as him!"

This series of sentences without even any punctuation marks took Ye's father 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 his 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 first 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 happy.

The other 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-woven DIY blanket, scarf, thick ice stripe yarn blanket, quilt, hand-woven cushion for boys and girls, the same style for social banquets..."

These densely packed product names are obviously written by his eldest son's app. In order to get the algorithm, he wrote down 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 making money is no problem. 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 of Lord Samos and Lord 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 had just been discovered on that planet, but there were many planets in the interstellar space that contained gold mines. Although they were still linked to the currency, they no longer required state control. This allowed Ye's father to give the small tourism project to his eldest son as compensation.

And now his eldest son has developed 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 Ye's father put on the homepage as an advertisement was recognized as Admiral Otas at a glance.

This person has one of the best figures 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 supermarket on the APP, but they are molded into the shape of a heart.

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

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

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

"Dad... these are 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 even 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 actually not cheap.

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

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

So he chose 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 not only said a few words of encouragement to him at the family dinner and gave him a few small planets as a gift, but also started to busy himself with the mid-year report.

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

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

But his expression relaxed as he asked Ye Wangxing.

"Wangxing, Dad called you over because I wanted to ask about what happened at the banquet last night. I heard from your brother that you seemed to be hanging out with some friends again last night."

What Ye's father said seemed to ease the young man's tension.

A slight blush appeared on his face and he nodded and said.

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

"That's okay. After all, the pocket money you've been given is yours. But Dad still has a question: what exactly is your relationship with those four people?"

Father Ye had been in 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 a bit 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 quacked like a duck.

Fortunately, the young man did not question his father's habits, so he did not ask any questions.

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

"So you two are exes? Why did you give them gifts at the party? And you even dated four of them in one hour! No, they didn't take advantage of you, did they? Wait, what's with you being a substitute?"

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 break up with them and that was it. I made a parting gift as a way to say goodbye 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 also confirmed that we were just 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 they give gifts to after breaking up.

But I've never heard of those four becoming friends with someone who was their ex-boyfriend. This seems a little strange.

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: ...

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

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

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

There was a deep sadness in the young man's voice.

"Have you thought about who you'd like to get back together with?"

Father Ye thought with a headache, feeling 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 this eldest son better than his younger son is that he knows how to make money. Even when giving gifts to others, he did not forget to launch a similar product at a lower price to make some money back.

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

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

"Because the company needs to make a living? And those small planets you gave me before also need employment. Using these hot products is just the right way to consume a wave of cheap materials. Isn't that perfect?"

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 intentions."

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

Father Ye was really at a loss as to what to do about his eldest son's emotional relationship. In the end, he could only let the man go and think about what to do next.

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

As Father Ye said this, he directly picked out the most expensive, largest plush persimmon at 39.9, and seemed quite satisfied.

"By the way, you two should each take one. 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 to be furious just like his own, and he had his medical robot 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 unharmed? The fact that this person is actually the ex-boyfriend of those four is surprising!

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

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

Ye Bai's look of enjoying himself made his father's forehead bulge with veins. If beating children was not prohibited in the empire now, he would really beat Ye Bai to the point that he would need medical robots to help him.

"Your own relationships are a mess, and you're curious about your eldest brother's relationship history? You should sort out your issues with Woden first! Don't sit here all day and feel bitter and resentful while he's out there looking for someone else!"

Compared to his eldest son who also had a messy relationship but handled it 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 His Majesty the Emperor. The key issue is the eldest son's problem.

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 is on par with these talents, his son is not unworthy of them.

If one of them really likes my son, that would be a good thing, but even if the other party 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 second 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 hot and sweating.

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

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

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

Mr. Ye still had a proper smile on his face. Although he felt that 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 military expenditures. Samos came down from upstairs with his cat-like eyes narrowed. He was even playing with the persimmon in his hand, which looked more delicate and lovely, and even had softer fur than the others.

The marshal was unwilling to touch it, and he even prepared bath sand specifically for the persimmon.

Father Ye: ...

He almost hastily sounded the alarm in the Marshal's Mansion.

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 and what was the reason for their breakup at that time?

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

"The eldest young master was taken to a banquet by the younger young master. The invitation was from Crown Prince Woden, but the banquet was quite high. I heard that Prince Janus and Admiral Otas would be attending."

Seeing that Mr. Ye’s expression was still a little pale, the housekeeper hurried to comfort 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 precisely because of those two that the scene is unsafe!"
