Chapter 68
Everyone present saw Warden's disbelief, but no one stood up for him - even Ye Bai wanted to speak, but was suppressed by Ye Wangxing beside him.
But Ye Bai still felt a little bit unbelievable sitting in his seat.
How did Worden end up like this?
His Majesty had clearly arranged for him to intern in other departments before, but in order to let him understand the operating procedures of government departments in detail, he even sent several old ministers to come out and teach him hand in hand.
How come it has become like this now?
How can the Crown Prince Warden be a host?
Ye Bai's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, but fortunately not many people heard him.
However, Elina, who was sitting next to him, rolled her eyes and thought in her mind that he was just making this up on his own.
At the beginning, Woden was indeed trained by the emperor as his heir, and various teachers were invited to teach him all kinds of knowledge, and Woden did learn at the beginning.
But later, as the knowledge became more and more difficult, Worden's temper also became worse and worse. He did not think that it was his problem that he could not learn the knowledge, but instead thought that the teacher was not attentive.
After investigation, it was discovered that it was the palace servants' fault. Naturally, these palace servants tried their best to please the Crown Prince. When he couldn't learn those knowledge, those palace servants said it was because of his teacher, not because the Crown Prince himself couldn't learn it.
Over time, Warden really thought that he was extremely smart, but he just didn't find the right method.
This understanding continued until the emperor asked him to participate in the operations of various departments and intern there after graduating from university.
The emperor's meaning was very clear. Even if you are the future master of this country, you need to start from the grassroots level and recruit your own team.
But for the Crown Prince, letting him intern in various departments means that he can be the boss of each department.
So the first internship of the Crown Prince ended in failure. The second time, the emperor also learned from his experience and chose to let several old ministers come out to teach him directly and then give him a small department to practice and try to manage directly. After all, some people are really not good at grassroots work and can only manage others.
——Then Worden took these old ministers to go bungee jumping in space.
The third time, the emperor decided to lower his expectations of Woden and chose to let him participate in the operation of the royal industry company.
——Ended up being defrauded of 2 million yuan.
The 4th time, the 5th time, the 6th time...
As Woden failed to accomplish his goals again and again and demonstrated his foolishness again and again, the Emperor's expectations grew lower and lower.
The emperor really couldn't understand it. It was obvious that both she and Woden's grandmother were wise and brave people. Even the eldest princess who liked to eat, drink and have fun had a strong fighting ability. She even gave birth to Elina, who was in the top 10 in the mecha department.
How come in Woden...
"Oh, sister, don't think so much. Look at those highly educated engineers and doctors on the Internet. Even think about the chancellor and the Earl of XX. This ancestral grave can't always be filled with smoke."
At that time, Elena, who heard her mother comforting the emperor, nodded in agreement.
But later on, even Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal could not say any words of comfort. After all, the degree of Woden's anthropomorphism was really beyond people's imagination.
At that time, Elena went straight to the history books and found that an anthropomorphic emperor would emerge in the middle of several prosperous dynasties.
——And the degree of personification is always beyond people’s imagination.
In the end, Elina chose to hand the history books to her mother and asked her to talk to His Majesty.
Anyway, she didn't want to live under the rule of such an anthropomorphic emperor.
After reading the history books, His Majesty seemed to have finally given up, and the tests on Woden were gradually lowered, from something that any smart monkey could do to something that anyone who could move could do.
The royal supplier that Woden had negotiated with a few weeks ago was already the easiest task the emperor had found for him.
Unfortunately, this person still gave them a surprise.
——Or frightened.
No one knows why this person could mess up such a simple task.
However, His Majesty seemed to be ready to give up. This time he threw him in front of everyone, probably because he wanted to show off Woden's abilities.
"My foolish son is just like this. If you want to support this fool as emperor and give him real power, I will start to suspect that you have rebellious intentions."
And all the ministers who had dealt with Woden naturally understood the emperor's intentions from his words and actions.
If Worden suddenly asked for advice humbly at this time, or showed an arrogant attitude, but I was criticized and Worden was obedient, perhaps the situation could be reversed.
Can……
Elina turned her head and looked at the four men sitting in their respective seats. They were tall, broad-shouldered, long-legged, and each had their own unique looks.
——How did this person offend these four people at once?
Is he pursuing Ye Wangxing?
Elina didn't know the specific reason, but she was sure that offending these four Wardens at once made her internship life even more difficult.
Just look at the officials who are present here now and remain silent.
Those who have made it to this position today either rely on the people behind them or on their own brains.
Woden already has the strongest connections in the entire galaxy, so naturally everyone else will have brains.
If it was someone else targeting Worden, or if Worden performed better, who knows, someone might still speak up for Worden.
but……
The people present looked at the sky and looked at the holographic screen, as if today's PPT was like a work of art.
Until Warden repeated his words again in disbelief and asked the Deputy Minister of Finance for the reason, the Deputy Minister looked at the people around him whose ranks were not as high as his, and those who were of similar ranks to him just lowered their heads and did not speak at all. He cursed in his heart before speaking sincerely.
"Your Highness, being an anchor is a job that is close to the people. Especially your creative ideas, I think the people will have a different view of you when they hear them. It is a great opportunity to show your talent."
The deputy minister said with a smile.
"But they are live streamers! They are from the entertainment industry! They entertain the public!"
Worden really wanted to say something like "commoner, pariah, clown" or something like that, but thinking about the person sitting here, he finally swallowed his words back and just kept emphasizing his identity.
but……
Warden is only 24 years old, and considering the 200-year lifespan of interstellar people, he is still a child. The old foxes present saw what Warden was thinking at a glance, but no one corrected his idea. On the contrary, they were all thinking about pushing Warden to the position of anchor as much as possible.
But Ye Bai was so excited that even Ye Wangxing couldn't hold back and wanted to step forward to save Walden. Fortunately, Elena next to him lent a hand. Looking at the grateful eyes of the handsome young man, Elena felt it was pleasing to the eye.
'No wonder she has 4 boyfriends.'
Elina thought about it, but her hand was still firmly on Ye Bai - her ranking in the top 10 in the Mecha Department was no joke, and if she didn't have to go home to inherit the family business, she would have gone to the front line long ago.
Ye Bai didn't know what Elena was thinking, he just pleaded with Ye Wangxing in a low voice.
"Brother, Woden is the crown prince. He cannot be the anchor because it will reduce his public support. The public will definitely wonder what mistakes he made at the hands of His Majesty to be sent to be the anchor."
Ye Bai's words were well-reasoned and his feelings were quite sincere, but when Ye Wangxing saw such sincere feelings, he just felt a stomachache.
It felt as if someone had stuck an awl just below his ribs.
[…Why did you go back again?]
Ye Wangxing screamed at Yijiu in his mind, but whispered in reality.
"Brother, take a closer look at the app. If Prince Woden looks carefully, he can see that there are two words in front of the anchor, which represent poverty alleviation. The poverty alleviation anchor is the most suitable for Woden."
Ye Bai stopped struggling this time. He opened the PPT and found that there were indeed these two words, but...
“But she’s still a broadcaster after all…”
Ye Bai didn't dislike the poverty alleviation anchor industry. In fact, he also knew that this was a big pie that everyone wanted to grab, but the key issue was that Warden should be the one who had the pie in his hand and decided who to give it to, instead of being the one who fought for the pie himself.
The responsibilities are reversed!
Hearing Ye Bai's words, Ye Wangxing sighed and spoke to Ye Bai in a low voice.
"Yes, he really shouldn't be here because of his status, but Ye Bai, you might as well ask yourself, with Woden's ability, is there any other position in this project that can be given to him besides this one?"
Ye Bai recalled all the project position arrangements.
A high one is beyond Woden's ability, and a low one is also an insult to Woden's ability. However, Woden, who is neither high nor low, doesn't look down on it...
For the first time, Ye Bai felt that Woden seemed really difficult to raise.
But after all, it seems normal that the prince is a little difficult to raise.
"Besides, with Woden's current ability, it's completely useless for him to do anything practical in his position. It's better to push him to the public. When the public support rate increases, even if the officials oppose it, they will have to hold their noses and recognize this prince."
The young man added: "Of course, the premise is that Woden can win the favor of the people."
Speaking of this, Ye Bai was not too worried. In his eyes, Woden had always been very charming. He even looked at Woden with encouragement in his eyes.
Seeing Ye Bai's eyes, Warden became even more desperate. Even Ye Bai betrayed him? No, he absolutely could not become a host and a clown stared at by the public. He had to resist!
As Worden thought about this, his expression became a little ferocious, as if he was about to overturn the table at any time. This made the deputy minister feel a little uneasy. As the most powerful old fox present, he immediately looked at Worden with an expression of sincere request.
"Your Highness, this position belongs to you!"
These words interrupted Woden's temper and made him look at the deputy minister with a puzzled look.
The deputy minister also made an expression as if he was canvassing for votes, and said sincerely: "You have seen your majesty's efforts in poverty alleviation projects in recent years. Your majesty attaches the most importance to this project, so we must also maximize the results of the project."
"And under the current situation, being a poverty alleviation anchor has great importance and extraordinary significance. If someone else holds this position, they would have to worry about whether it would be detrimental to the country, but you won't! You are the prince! How could a prince be detrimental to his own country?"
As soon as these words came out, Warden felt very comfortable with this flattery, but his expression still showed perfunctory anger, as if he wanted the deputy minister to say a few more words.
The deputy minister lived up to expectations and really said a few more words.
"On the one hand, poverty alleviation is a major strategic task of the country, which is related to the well-being of the people and the stable development of the empire. As a prince, you can play a strong role in demonstrating your care and responsibility for the people by devoting yourself to the poverty alleviation anchor position.
"This move will greatly encourage the public to actively participate in poverty alleviation and unite the forces of all parties to work together to eliminate poverty."
Ye Bai watched as the corners of Woden's mouth curled up, and the previous disdainful expression and angry emotions disappeared from his body.
The deputy minister also took advantage of the victory and said.
“On the other hand, the poverty alleviation anchor position carries the important task of conveying hope and promoting the characteristic products and resources of poor areas, which can only be achieved with your influence.”
“Through your influence, you can help more people understand the difficulties and needs of poor areas, bring funds, technology and market opportunities to poor areas, help them increase their income and achieve sustainable development.”
The deputy minister's expression, as if his Highness the Crown Prince said that the project would not be able to run without him, pleased Worden very much. In the end, what soothed Worden's awkwardness was that the deputy minister directly linked his action to historical achievements.
"…Anchor is originally an ordinary position, but with your participation, this position is not only a responsibility, but also a great contribution to the well-being of the empire and the people. It will surely leave a strong mark in the long river of history."
As soon as the deputy minister said this, everyone present looked at him with admiring eyes.
No wonder he was able to become deputy minister. His ability to write essays on the spot has simply reached the top. Even though he has been in a leadership position for many years, he has not lost his basic skills.
Even Ye Bai showed admiration towards the deputy minister. He didn't expect that the uncle he had known for so many years could be so powerful.
"In that case, the position of anchor naturally belongs to me. I am also thinking about the future of the people - but you should choose the categories carefully and don't pollute my influence with some defective products."
Worden raised his chin and said, finally signing his name on the contract.
Elina on the side felt that the solution was a bit too simple. Besides, even if something was beneficial to him, this guy Warden would do everything possible to make others beg him to do it so that he could feel superior.
This is a royal secret. When did the deputy minister know about it? He obviously didn't meet Worden many times, and he was not included in the space bungee jumping team building.
However, it was not until Warden walked out of the meeting room with his head held high that Elena learned the truth from Ye Wangxing who was standing beside him.
"...I'm just guessing. After all, he really does behave a bit like the Chihuahua that our neighbor keeps. But it's just their personalities that are similar."
Elina sighed again.
——As expected of a man who has had 4 boyfriends.
What an accurate grasp of men’s psychology!
This matter quickly spread among the top leaders. After finding a way to control His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the progress of the project was quickly advanced. Within a few days, Warden would finally become the anchor and face the audience for the first time.
However, there was not much money for the promotion of this live broadcast. The official statement was that the project funds were originally used to help the poor, but now they have exceeded the budget and need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
There is no need to hype up the Crown Prince's live broadcast. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own traffic. When the time comes, just say hello to the official. After that, it will depend on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.
Of course, they say that, but in reality they are afraid that something might happen during Warden's live broadcast and they would have trouble handling it on the spot.
It would be better if there were fewer people at the beginning so that they can be easier to control.
Although all Warden had to do was nod and say hello to the host next to him, and then take out the prepared script and read out the product parameters one by one.
But given Worden's previous weird ideas and his experience of screwing up so many projects, the people present decided to take a deep breath.
After all, this is the holographic age, and all those manuscripts will be typed out in the live broadcast room.
What Worden needs to do is act as a mascot.
Ye Bai also acted as the center control and midfielder, fearing that something might happen to Warden's live broadcast.
Worden himself was quite confident about this. Looking at the manuscript, he said that he could handle the royal speech every year. Live broadcast? Isn't this a piece of cake?
And with Worden’s own confidence, the live broadcast was actually OK.
Although the parameters reported were very vague, the viewers in the live broadcast room had all received compulsory education on interstellar technology, and the optical computer provided a variety of data parameters.
They naturally know which parameters are good and which are bad, and can buy them according to their needs. What's more...
This is the live broadcast room where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally reads the parameters to them. Sometimes you can even see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eating snacks, which makes them even more curious.
You have to know that he is the prince. How could the prince eat such ordinary snacks?
Although the prince never ate snacks again after someone raised this question in the barrage, the snacks he had eaten before, which were also part of the poverty alleviation project, were quickly sold out.
All of a sudden, there were rave reviews on the Internet, all of which were full of praise for this live broadcast room.
After all, poverty alleviation is still led by the royal family, and the prince has personally taken the lead in selling goods. This is simply using the royal family's face to help the local poor people.
How can this not make netizens on the Internet excited?
Just when the people of the empire were getting excited, some changes occurred in Woden in the live broadcast room.
Zhang Qi is an ordinary worker. In the interstellar era, when labor laws have been implemented and protection is complete, she has enough money, so she often buys some snacks online.
The recent live broadcast led by the Crown Prince is naturally her favorite. After all, she gets food in her mouth and helps the local poor people, which is always a good thing.
However, Zhang Qi always felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who seemed so high and mighty in all the news, was a little... irritable in the live broadcast room recently?
It seems that this is not just Zhang Qi's illusion, there are indeed people asking questions in the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely not know about this. After all, everyone around him is managed by the central control, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only responsible for reading the information.
After discovering this problem, Zhang Qi felt that if she were the Crown Prince, she would also be irritable. She always felt like she had become an animal in a cage for people to admire.
As a result, public opinion began to put forward conspiracy theories, even involving the royal family.
Zhang Qi did not participate in it, but just watched the whole process. However, what made Zhang Qi a little strange was that the remarks in support of the prince were so uniform and somewhat weird, and they all let the prince speak and watch the comments.
But this didn't matter to Zhang Qi. She also wanted to see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would say and how they would react to the comments they sent.
But what is somewhat strange is that there is another group of people on the Internet who are leading the rhythm, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should never be allowed to speak and should never be given permission to post comments.
This group of people were criticized so harshly by the public that even the cyber violence protection button popped up.
But the official really pampers the fans. They actually opened up the barrage permission to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the second day, and allowed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to comment on these foods.
——Then Zhang Qi understood that those who had previously said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should never be allowed to speak and should not be given the right to post comments were actually protecting them.
"This food is pretty good, but the marketing plan is not very good. I have a better idea..."
"What's wrong with this barrage? I've been banned. Isn't he afraid of being subpoenaed for insulting the royal family like this?"
"What's going on with Central Control? How come they brought up the next selection so quickly? I haven't even tested them on the knowledge points about the previous food."
Daddy, arrogant, violent.
Such a Crown Prince directly overturned Zhang Qi's previous beautiful imagination of the Crown Prince.
The barrage of comments was also quite unbelievable, and one incredible barrage after another appeared in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However, the team did not end the live broadcast immediately, but continued to film the reaction of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The camera gradually zoomed out to include the staff nearby, allowing Zhang Qi to see the scene of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pushing a staff member and finally rushing out of the live broadcast room without looking at the barrage.
This violent behavior made the audience start to criticize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They didn't dare to use foul language, after all, that's his status, but they did have their own elegant ways of cursing.
Even after a netizen directly mocked the Crown Prince's creative ideas as if they were the result of reading too many exaggerated commercial novels, more mockery followed.
Those groundbreaking marketing plans seem really bizarre and totally unfeasible in reality.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could no longer see the barrage at this time. He could only hear him cursing as he walked in the back garden behind the office building.
Because it was afternoon and there weren't many people around, the audience in the entire live broadcast room could hear it quite clearly - after all, the holographic live broadcast ball was floating behind him, but because of its invisibility, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had forgotten about it.
However, after venting their anger, the audience was a little puzzled. Why has no one shut down the live broadcast yet? Didn’t the people in the live broadcast room realize that this was a live broadcast accident? Do they really not care about the image of the royal family?
But soon the audience in the live broadcast room no longer cared about this.
Because they heard a very familiar male voice questioning.
"——Your Highness Janus, I need to ask you something."
The male voice was quite elegant and mature, like a mellow red wine. But before the audience in the live broadcast room could remember where they had heard it before, the voice came out like a bombshell.
"Why did you encourage my boyfriend to break up with me when I hadn't clearly broken up with him, and why did you succeed in becoming his next girlfriend?"
Zhang Qi immediately sat upright in the holographic space and turned on the screen recording. She forgot about anything about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Majesty will take care of the Crown Prince's madness, and all she has to do is cast a vote.
——How can this be as exciting as Prince Janus having sex for love!
