“In that case, let’s do it this way,” Bai Zhenhao said. “But Yueyue, there might not be enough manpower there, so you’ll need to go and find more workers.”
Upon hearing Bai Zhenhao's words, Bai Yueyue immediately understood what Li Jieyue meant earlier; now those people had a job.
However, does this mean I'll be responsible for a large group of people again?
"It's Father." As long as there's a way, that's fine.
Bai Zhenhao was somewhat reluctant to part. Although he really wanted to spend more time with his beloved daughter, there simply wasn't more time. Even this little bit of time was hard-won for him. After Bai Yueyue left, Bai Zhenhao would immediately have to deal with the guests from other higher-level cities and the capital.
"Yueyue, your godfather will be back this Wednesday. You need to go and greet him then."
"Is Godfather coming back?" Bai Yueyue murmured in confusion. Although she didn't know much about the mayor's meeting, according to the news, it should not have ended until the end of the month, right? Why is it so early this time? "Yes, sir."
Since she was returning and had received orders, Bai Yueyue naturally had to go. Her only complaint was that she hadn't been notified when they left, but now she was being asked to greet them upon their return.
Am I some kind of high-end bull or horse?
"Father, please allow me to take my leave." Having finished discussing everything, Bai Yueyue didn't want to delay any longer; tomorrow was Monday, and she still had exams to prepare for.
"I grant you permission to leave. I will have someone give you the information about that factory."
"Thank you, Father."
As soon as Bai Yueyue left, her former personal attendant stepped forward and said, "Master, it's time to prepare for the next meeting."
Waaaaah, I'm so heartbroken. I wanted to spend more time with my precious daughter.
In Bai Zhenhao's fantasy, this meeting should be just the two of them, father and daughter, with Bai Zhenhao and Bai Yueyue eating snacks and singing songs together, and Bai Yueyue saying that she loves her dad the most.
"I understand," Bai Zhenhao said calmly.
As for Bai Yueyue, she had no intention of staying any longer. She hadn't studied much this week, and if she failed the assessment, her workload would increase even more.
"Miss Bai, Miss Bai..." As soon as they arrived on the ground floor, a group of people surrounded them. These were people who had seen Bai Yueyue before and naturally knew her identity. Similarly, seeing that someone was surrounding her, others naturally followed suit.
But Hu Meier didn't need to do anything; the security guards had already taken the initiative to protect Bai Yueyue.
No, I'm not a celebrity. Looking at the large group of people being stopped by security, they were all trying to hand him their resumes, and some even wanted to plead with him to let Bai Zhenhao allow them to return to their posts.
"I'm sorry, my parents don't intend to hand the company over to me, and I really can't get involved in the company's affairs..." Bai Yueyue deliberately put on a troubled and regretful expression to express her helplessness.
Are these people crazy? Don't they even bother to find out about my family's situation? Bai Yueyue was really annoyed. As the second brother, Bai Ruo was the first heir. There should be quite a few people who knew about this. Why didn't they go to him? Why did they come to her instead? Damn second brother, come back here right now!
As for the eldest brother, Bai Shenxing, he joined the army with his father's support because he wanted his mother, Li Jieyue, to be recognized by the Li family again.
With the help of security guards and Bai Yueyue using magic, they managed to struggle their way out of the crowd. Bai Yueyue had neither the inclination nor the authority to care about those people.
Now I understand why people travel with multiple attendants; if there aren't enough people, it's really hard to stop them.
On her way back to the manor from the Bai family mansion, Bai Yueyue received another call from Li Meng, so she set off again to deal with a group of monsters.
Bai Yueyue felt that she was now immune to corpses, since when she arrived, most of the monsters were already feeding, and the corpses had long been mangled and bloody.
Of course, in reality, Bai Yueyue could not possibly be immune at all. When Bai Yueyue was a boy, he could still resist watching horror and gory movies on TV.
Now it's different; in her female form, she's even more sensitive to the smell of blood. And this isn't a movie; it's something that actually happened right before my eyes, far more disgusting and brutal than anything in the film.
Each time he finished dealing with Bai Yueyue, he would feel exhausted and had to use magic to suppress the nausea.
At this moment, within the Imperial Clan compound in the capital, a boy of similar age to Bai Yueyue was kneeling in a study, with a middle-aged woman standing in front of him.
"Dear Aunt, I sincerely wish you well."
"Get up." The woman stopped what she was doing, looked at the boy, and ordered the servants to prepare a chair for him.
"Thank you, Auntie."
After the boy was seated, the woman spoke, "I have completed the discussions with the Li family on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor."
The boy was puzzled as to why she would tell him such a thing, but he didn't voice his doubts; instead, he listened silently.
The woman continued, "The Li family is eager to establish a new marriage alliance with us, and His Majesty the Emperor is also willing to establish a new marriage alliance with the Li family to restore the previous relationship between the two families."
At the woman's prompting, the boy finally spoke up: "Aunt, the current head of the Li family, Li Jianchuan, is getting old, and his military power is gradually returning to my father. A marriage alliance with the Li family will only help the Li family temporarily consolidate their position, and it will not be of much benefit to us."
The Li family is currently at the bottom of the five major families, but because of its 20% control of the military, it is the family that the imperial family needs to pay the most attention to. In recent years, the imperial family has also been trying to gradually weaken the Li family's military power. The marriage between the current emperor and Li Jieyue more than 20 years ago was for this reason.
However, Li Jieyue's elopement put the Li family in a passive position. In order to protect his daughter, Li Jianchuan had no choice but to give up his military power. After that, the Li family gradually declined from the top of the five major families to the bottom.
Therefore, the boy didn't understand why his father wanted to arrange a marriage alliance with the Li family at this time. The Li family's military power would eventually belong to them, so was it just to maintain the status quo? After all, the Li family could decline, but it couldn't collapse; the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and political landscape) of this planet couldn't be altered.
"Does Father want me to represent one of my brothers and go with Aunt to discuss this matter with the Li family?" the boy asked.
"No, His Majesty wishes for you to carry out this marriage alliance."
"Me?" The boy was even more confused. He was the current young lord and the next emperor. The current situation of the Li family did not seem to be worth his marriage alliance, right? Moreover, he knew all the eligible women in the Li family, and he did not think they were good enough for him. In fact, there was no one in the entire capital who was good enough for him.
Given his status, the most suitable family for him right now would be the Wang family, who have law enforcement power, right?
"Don't you understand why His Majesty would issue such an order?" the woman asked with a smile.
"Please enlighten me, Auntie..."
