Chapter 134
Fang Yun had a smiling face, but was shouting in his heart that he wanted to die, as he followed Ye Wangxing to the Central Government Affairs Hall of this planet.
This planet is also the designated location for this joint project between the Empire and the Alliance.
Fang Yun had never been here, but he had seen Huo Zhengchuan go in.
At that time, Huo Zhengchuan was wearing the crown prince's formal dress and looked very ambitious, which made Fang Yun's heart beat fast and completely determined to steal his brother's fiancé.
But now...
Fang Yun looked at the Government Affairs Office and felt despair.
The exterior walls of the Council Chamber were crafted from a shimmering nanomaterial, emitting a flowing silver sheen under the starlight. Atop the Council Chamber sat a massive dome, inlaid with a holographic projection of the Imperial insignia, creating a solemn and imposing presence.
Ye Wangxing didn't want to go in at first, but after registering the visitor information, the guard at the door directly compared the information on the intelligent computer and spoke to him very naturally.
"Hello, Mr. Ye. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Qi Ye are currently meeting in Conference Room 3. If you need anything, you can wait in the reception room nearby."
Ye Wangxing didn't want to go in, but Fang Yun next to him would not miss this opportunity. He pulled Ye Wangxing and nodded to the guard in front of him with a smile, then followed the robot into the Government Affairs Hall.
"Brother, just think of it as helping your younger brother this time. The situation is really critical this time, but don't worry, I won't ask you to speak for me. Everything depends on me."
Fang Yun whispered to Ye Wangxing.
Looking at his expression that showed he understood but hadn't said anything yet, she still had a smile on her face, but a hint of jealousy lingered in her heart.
How can a person be so lucky? He has worked so hard to climb to his current position and has been disguising himself every day for this. How can someone live so easily just by being himself?
Fang Yun thought about it, and his expression was a little unstable, but he soon noticed it and immediately adjusted his expression.
Now is not the time to lose your temper. The businesses run by the Ye family have suffered heavy losses in this targeting. If those people don't stop, the Ye family will not go bankrupt, but it will be seriously damaged.
——After all, even the Ji family’s capital chain had problems.
That’s Marshal Ji’s Ji family!
Even with the coming of His Majesty, all the old marshals are about to retire, but their power is not something that ordinary people can shake.
However, even such a person was passive.
Even Marshal Ji's reaction was to spend money to avoid disaster, instead of running around like Old Madam Ji to save the Ji family's property.
However, Marshal Ji was just a poor boy who had worked his way up from the bottom. He didn't even have a surname. It was the Ji family that provided him with resources and support. It is understandable that he behaves like this now. After all, he doesn't understand, so it is normal to leave it to Madam Ji to handle.
However, Fang Yun always felt that something was wrong. After all, in his understanding, everyone would try their best to preserve their property, instead of entrusting their wealth to others like Ye Wangxing did.
——God knows Fang Yun almost screamed when he learned that Ye Wangxing had entrusted all his patents to the richest man and the eldest prince.
Putting aside why he didn't hand it over to Ye's parents, how much money could these patents bring him? Did Ye Wangxing have no idea?
So much money is in the hands of the eldest prince and the richest man. Even if they are rich and don't care, if he wants to escape at that time, he will be penniless.
Fang Yun also reminded Ye Wangxing in a roundabout way, but Ye Wangxing's response was that they were not that kind of people.
Fang Yun felt like a supporting character in a romance novel.
Even when she was occasionally being affectionate with Huo Zhengchuan, she subconsciously avoided such words.
Why didn't he realize how speechless his words were before?
Just as Fang Yun was thinking, they had already arrived at Conference Room No. 3.
This is the highest floor of the entire government hall and a symbol of power and status. Even the design of the reception room is extremely luxurious.
The ground is paved with a floor made of rare interstellar minerals, and every step you take will emit a faint blue halo.
The walls of the reception room are also covered with rare materials from other planets, which not only do not dazzle the eyes but also give people a sense of relaxation, while also retaining the majesty of the empire.
This made Fang Yun's heart subconsciously rise.
He had never been to such a place before and behaved a little reservedly. Huo Zhengchuan did not dare to bring him here, so he could only watch obediently as the etiquette staff served him tea.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing was similar to him, both sitting in the chair and not daring to say a word.
However, the door of the conference hall today seemed not to be closed tightly, but was slightly open. Not only the reception room, but even the etiquette staff outside could hear the quarrel inside the door.
"—It's impossible to stop these public welfare projects. Is this the Empire's promise to the people, or is your alliance unable to withstand the pressure from political families and planning to back down?"
The eldest prince's voice came from inside the door, and another voice that was obviously not from the richest man stammered.
"Your Highness, the Grand Prince of the Empire, what political family pressure? I'm just an official, hoping you can stop these projects that infringe on the rights of those companies. Some of them have already filed for bankruptcy, and their employees will lose their livelihoods."
At this time, another frivolous voice said.
"Lose your livelihood? I remember there were jobs everywhere in our public welfare projects."
"To maintain the mechanical cats, to distribute them by delivery, and now planetary subsidies have increased, along with the reduction in delivery fees and the price of nutrient solution... the people will even have more money."
The voice analyzed with a smile, but the more it spoke, the less the official on the other side could say.
I could only say a few more nonsense words like "What about those company bosses?" before I dared not speak anymore.
All that remains are the polite words spoken by the meeting leader to keep the process moving forward.
With this background noise, Fang Yun listened to the conversation in the conference room and felt that something seemed to be wrong.
On the surface, the people-benefiting project is indeed good for people's livelihood, but as he is well versed in the rules, he has begun to wonder who actually benefits from this project?
On the surface, the people have benefited, and they have indeed benefited from improved living standards and reduced living costs, but...
Besides them?
logistics……
food……
Just when Fang Yun was about to think of it, the sound of the end of the meeting suddenly came from inside the door, which made Fang Yun immediately straighten his chest, raise his head, tighten his abdomen, and sit up straight on the sofa.
Accompanied by whispered discussions, the other participants in the meeting left directly through the main door, while the two top leaders of the meeting came directly into their reception room.
Fang Yun immediately stood up and greeted him politely. Ye Wangxing, who was standing next to him, seemed to be frightened and jumped up from the sofa.
He hadn't spoken a word just now, just lowered his head and immersed in his own thoughts. Fang Yun guessed that he was frightened by the noise made by the two people just coming in.
——After all, he was planning to break up, and as his partner, Ye Wangxing must understand their personalities, so it is understandable that he is so nervous now.
After seeing Ye Wangxing's reaction, Fang Yun immediately decided to take the initiative and made an appointment with Madam Ji and several other earls to let them talk.
Fang Yun, who had just witnessed the sarcastic skills of these two people, thought that he could not withstand these two people anyway.
Ye Wangxing was also quite well-behaved. When Fang Yun reacted and immediately approached the two to discuss the meeting place, he did not speak. After finally confirming the meeting time and that it would not be changed, Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and then gave the main field to Ye Wangxing.
At this time, the eldest prince asked with some confusion.
"Wangxing, are you here to finally participate in this project? I'll immediately ask them to add your name to the position of project leader."
The eldest prince's tone rose.
The richest man standing nearby also seemed to want to say something naughty, but was interrupted by Ye Wangxing before he could say anything.
Ye Wangxing took a deep breath, and Fang Yun subconsciously walked away from the wall. Then he heard Ye Wangxing speak very seriously.
"Qi Ye, Huo Han, I...I'm here to break up with you."
Fang Yun looked at the two people who were stunned after hearing this, and then had expressions of disbelief on their faces, but he was very relieved in his heart.
——Fortunately, we had agreed on a meeting time beforehand, otherwise, once this sentence came out, it would be a different question whether these two people would be willing to meet, let alone make an appointment.
And the development of the matter was just as Fang Yun had expected before, revealing the word "end" from beginning to end.
After Ye Wangxing finished speaking, the two men present were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and their aura suddenly became full, and the entire conference room exuded an suffocating aura.
The eldest prince's face turned black instantly. Although the richest man still looked cheerful, judging from the strength of his fists, he was very angry.
Everyone in the audience was so stunned that they dared not breathe, and the etiquette staff immediately began to leave.
After realizing no one was there to stop them, they gracefully and swiftly exited the entire conference room within a minute. The last person to leave was even considerate enough to close the side door of the adjacent conference room and the main door of the reception room.
The speed was so fast that it could be considered as escaping for life, but Fang Yun still felt that their service was a little inadequate.
How could they forget to take him away? He could just stand outside the meeting room with the etiquette staff and wait. Don't leave him alone in this hell!
Fang Yun felt like he was about to suffocate. The aura of those two people was so strong that it was terrifying. Coupled with the expressions on their faces, he doubted whether Ye Wangxing could walk out of here safely today?
But Ye Wangxing was not afraid.
The young man with amber eyes closed his eyes and made up his mind, then he poured out the words he had prepared in advance.
"...I don't want to hurt you anymore. This kind of relationship itself is a kind of harm to you, and your reputation on Starnet has also deteriorated a lot recently. And all this is because-"
Ye Wangxing said this with a wry smile and pointed at himself.
"I."
He took a deep breath and continued.
"It's my fickleness and my inability to handle relationships that put you in this dilemma. So, just treat me as a scumbag this time and break up with you. After I break up with you, you can at least salvage some of your reputation, and there will be better people waiting for you by then."
The young man had a wry smile on his face, but his expression was serious, as if he wanted to prove to the two that his desire to break up this time was definitely not a whim, but a decision made after careful consideration.
He even wrote the PR draft for the two of them after they broke up with him. Oh no, the richest man didn't need that. He was just having a scandal with Ye Wangxing right now, and as soon as the richest man returned to China, the scandal would gradually disappear.
After all, the memory of contemporary netizens is not much better than that of fish. As long as they are not allowed to see this matter, no one will mention it again.
Ye Wangxing spoke very quickly, but Fang Yun beside him felt his heart in his throat.
Because he was watching the two men laughing in anger.
The first one to react was the eldest prince. He walked quickly to Ye Wangxing.
Qi Ye, who was standing aside, shrugged his shoulders after seeing that the eldest prince had gone ahead of him, and sat directly on the sofa in the reception room. Although he had a playful smile on his face, his eyes were fixed on Ye Wangxing.
Now the clouds dared not even make a sound.
Even the eldest prince, who was standing in front of Ye Wangxing with a threatening look as if he wanted to hit Ye Wangxing, did not dare to say a word.
Then……
Fang Yun saw Ye Wangxing, who had finally finished speaking, breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly opened his eyes.
However, what surprised Fang Yun was that there was a hint of moisture in Ye Wangxing's eyes, as if he was also sad.
That tear was like the drop of honey that accumulates on the surface when it falls from a high place.
——It also seems to be the most delicious drop.
Just when Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh at his brother's good looks, he turned around and found that the eldest prince's aura had instantly disappeared by more than half.
Even the originally fierce questioning words now sounded as if their force had been reduced by half.
"...Wang Xing, is this your reason?"
Ye Wangxing nodded, wiped away his tears, and said seriously.
"You shouldn't be scolded. It's not you who did anything wrong."
Fang Yun noticed that when Ye Wangxing said this, the expressions on the faces of both the richest man and the eldest prince stiffened slightly.
"Could it be that Ye Wangxing really wasn't the one who did it?" Fang Yun thought, with a hint of disbelief on his face.
Ye Wangxing didn't notice it and wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the eldest prince in front of him.
"So, Wangxing, is this the reason you want to break up with me?"
The eldest prince's expression was solemn and a little sad, and when Ye Wangxing saw the eldest prince's appearance, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly got stuck.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would hold a grudge against you just because of some gossip?"
The eldest prince had almost identical facial features to His Majesty, but because of his own aura, he looked more handsome. But now, these handsome features looked at Ye Wangxing with sadness and pain.
Ye Wangxing immediately shook his head in denial, that frequency could be described as a rattle.
"No, I just..."
However, before Ye Wangxing could finish his words, he was interrupted by the eldest prince.
"Besides, Wangxing, even if we break up, will I no longer be your best friend after the breakup? Will you not let me be your godfather as well? Are you going to completely break off relations with me?"
Ye Wangxing shook his head even faster this time. If someone didn't know, they would think someone had turned on a robot electric fan.
He answered without thinking while shaking his head.
"How is that possible? You will always be my friend! And you must watch the child grow up!"
After hearing Ye Wangxing's promise, the eldest prince put away the extremely pitiful expression on his face and spoke seriously.
"Then is there any need for us to break up? The child calls me dad, and I'm still with you. The media will still fabricate us the same way as before, right?"
Ye Wangxing was stunned for a moment, his mouth opening and closing, and no one knew what he was saying.
Fang Yun on the side: ...
No, do you city people have fun like this?
Who can remain friends after breaking up? Yes, judging from Ye Wangxing's sentimental behavior, he seems to be willing to do such a thing.
Before Fang Yun could finish his thought, he saw the richest man beside him also come on stage. He took off his sunglasses, revealing his handsome face and extremely beautiful emerald green eyes.
Then he thrust his face directly in front of Ye Wangxing's eyes and pushed the eldest prince aside. Although the eldest prince was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not say anything. Instead, he calmly walked aside and watched the richest man perform.
This made Fang Yun even more confused. How could the two of them be so in sync? Before Fang Yun could figure out the relationship, he heard the richest man ask directly.
"Wangxing, do you still like me?"
Poor Ye Wangxing hadn't figured out the previous logic problem before he was hit by another handsome face. His already overloaded brain became even more stuck.
I could only nod blankly at the handsome face in front of me.
"As long as you like me."
As he spoke, the richest man put on his sunglasses, then gave Ye Wangxing a big hug and spoke in a coquettish manner.
"Wangxing, you scared me to death. It turns out you just wanted to break up. I thought you didn't like me anymore~"
Now Ye Wangxing stood there like a stone sculpture, leaving Fang Yun standing aside looking at the two people in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It's outrageous, right? The two of them didn't do anything overly ambiguous. The biggest move was hugging Ye Wangxing, but it's not outrageous...
Anyone who comes here will say that this is simply outrageous.
Whose Aquaman would be coaxed by a fish into forgetting to mention the breakup when breaking up?
Just as Fang Yun was thinking about it, the door of the conference room opened again.
"Wangxing, you're here?"
The person who appeared this time was the scientific research rookie whom Fang Yun had seen at the mechanical manufacturing competition before. Especially the patents in his hands were now coveted by all the wealthy people.
There is no need to do genetic screening in advance before getting pregnant, as you can adjust the child's genes during the embryonic stage, which is much more convenient.
But this person rarely appeared in public. At most, the nobles would mention him when spreading rumors.
Because of this otaku's personality, he suffered the least attacks - but when it comes to protecting his children, he is no worse than the others.
The research institute he worked for had now closed its doors to several noble families. Even if they wanted to recruit graduate students, they would have to show their true abilities to force them to choose them. Otherwise, they would have no chance of ever getting into the research institute.
but……
Fang Yun looked at this scientific research leader with a delicate face but an extremely cold expression towards others, and sighed that his appearance was comparable to that of the President.
It’s just that I can’t compare to them in divinity.
Now the originally happy expression on his face changed instantly after he saw the two men standing in front of Ye Wangxing, especially when he saw Ye Wangxing's stunned expression, he immediately stood in front of Ye Wangxing and said.
"Don't push him."
As he spoke, he turned to Ye Wangxing, his voice filled with tenderness and worry.
"Wang Xing, are you okay?"
Before Ye Wangxing could speak, two voices came from the side.
"We didn't push him this time."
"He came here today, but he wanted to break up with us under the pretext of doing it for our own good."
After hearing the two people next to him say this, Fang Yun noticed that Ye Wangxing's expression was obviously stiff.
Before he could react, he found that Yan Yi, who seemed to be in control and even stood in front of Ye Wangxing to protect him, suddenly became incredulous and looked at Ye Wangxing.
Ye Wangxing suddenly panicked, and the two people next to him were still fanning the flames, explaining how Ye Wangxing wanted to break up and give them freedom because of some comments on the Internet.
And after seeing this obvious guilty reaction...
Fang Yun stared at the extremely indifferent boss, and in less than 10 seconds, tears began to fall.
He even cried very beautifully, without any snot or tears, but his blue eyes were shining with tears. He just looked at Ye Wangxing in silence with that pitiful face.
Ye Wangxing was now even more flustered. He wanted to wipe the tears from this person, but after he wiped them, the tears started to fall again. At this time, Yan Yi's breathing became rapid. Ye Wangxing was so anxious that he circled around this person and shouted anxiously.
"No more division, no more division, let's not divide!"
Fang Yun could hear a hint of exhaustion in Ye Wangxing's voice.
But now he finally understood why he couldn't break up with Ye Wangxing every time he proposed to.
Although they seemed to be rivals in love, they had actually reached a consensus long ago on Ye Wangxing's matter, and they had a series of tricks in their mouths.
It would be strange if Ye Wangxing could get a share.
Just when the situation was in chaos, the door of the reception room was pushed open for the third time, but this time it was not Ye Wangxing's lovers.
——But it was Ji Fangtao who was rushing around and being chased by the guard robots.
Ji Fangtao now looked even more embarrassed than when Fang Yun saw him being punished at Old Madam Ji's place.
There was even a guard robot following him. If it weren't for his identity, he would have been taken away and dealt with the moment he broke into the meeting room.
Fang Yun subconsciously looked outside and saw that the door of the reception room in Conference Hall No. 2 was open.
The case is solved. He came in from there. No wonder the guard robots didn't catch him.
But...what exactly does he want to do?
Fang Yun frowned, and then he saw Ji Fangtao speaking with an expression as if he had been wronged and needed to defend himself.
"I beg the Grand Prince to spare our Ji family. We are loyal and devoted. We were deceived by a villain and spoke rudely to the Grand Prince. Please, for my father's sake, spare our Ji family!"
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment.
No, what is he doing?
Before Fang Yun could react, Yan Yi, who had just been coaxed by Ye Wangxing, seemed to understand something.
He looked at Ji Fangtao in front of him, and then looked at Ye Wangxing who was also stunned beside him.
——The next second he wiped away his tears, his expression returned to his usual indifference, and he walked out.
"A noble who can't control his mouth is like a barking pet in heat—it's better to be neutered."
Fang Yun watched helplessly as the big man took out a small medicine bottle from his coat: ...
No, it’s really sterilization!
