Chapter 66
Martha, standing by, was also shocked and said, "...It's been ages since I've seen such a genuine palace drama."
"Those directors are all trying to please the ugly sons of capitalists. I just wanted a normal palace drama without the male lead in the spotlight, but I didn't expect to see it here..."
While the three people on the scene were still in shock, Samos in the box had already slashed his eyes towards Uno's head.
Facing the stabbing look from the cat-eyed man opposite him, Count Uno smiled calmly and said.
"Yes, but it's really unfortunate. When I met Wangxing, there was a project going on. Wangxing was also very interested. We hit it off and went directly to the project site. It was in a remote place with no signal. I didn't expect to miss you."
Count Uno said this with a meaningful look on his face.
"But speaking of it, you are truly infatuated. Even though you two had lost contact at that time, you still managed to find out the planet Wangxing went to, and even thought about looking for him in the vast sea of people. I really admire you."
The golden-eyed man's expression became sincere, and he even looked like he wanted to applaud Lord Semos.
However, there was no sarcasm in the man's words, not even any irony, it was just a joke.
When Lord Semos heard this, his expression immediately became alert. Although Elina and the others didn't know what Count Uno was thinking, they were sure that he was not praising Lord Semos sincerely.
As expected!
"But I don't know how Lord Semos knew that Wangxing had left the planet. Did Lord Semos search for him on the planet for many days?"
As Count Uno spoke, he looked at the cat-eyed man opposite him with curiosity. His expression was still that aristocratic and elegant, and even his questions seemed like polite greetings.
The young man didn't notice anything unusual about his appearance, but it made Lord Semos, who was sitting opposite them, look gloomy.
Elina: “…”
No way, Lord Samos, why are you silent? Could it be that you really used some illegal means back then?
Ye Bai and the others were so shocked that they were speechless. The plot was getting more and more unexpected. They had previously thought that this was just a normal reunion between Ye Wangxing and her ex-boyfriend, but who would have thought that the revelations would become bigger and bigger!
The man with cat eyes looked at Count Uno gloomily before finally saying, "Someone filmed the entry and exit scenes of that day on a short video. I saw you and Wangxing on it."
"Oh, really? We were on a private spaceship that day."
Count Uno finally showed his sharp white teeth and smiled like a dragon that finally saw its prey.
"Does anyone even go into the VIP channel to film their daily lives? I guess I need to complain to the staff that day."
Samos's expression darkened, but the young man quickly tried to smooth things over and spoke in a low voice.
"Okay, Uno, stop teasing me. It's normal for Samos to have some information channels of his own. Didn't you also find out about my departure through irregular channels? Besides, he didn't break any laws. He just wanted to know whether I was on that planet or not."
The young man's words seemed to liberate Samos, and his expression became less gloomy. Count Uno also decided to stop while he was ahead, but he turned around and changed the subject, saying to Ye Wangxing with a smile.
"I'm just curious. After all, when I first met you, your mental state wasn't very good. Now that I see you in person, I'm naturally curious. How could Lord Semos have done such a thing back then?"
The man with golden eyes smiled and said, "She treated her boyfriend like a trash can. The day after he told her he had an ex-boyfriend, she sent someone to give him some money and broke up with him the next day."
"—Now he's actually saying he still has feelings for Wangxing and is asking for a reconciliation? This is such a huge change, it really makes me curious. What exactly has Lord Semos been through?"
The professors who had finished their meal and were about to eavesdrop on the door panel gasped. They had just finished their meal and were planning to go back to the research institute, but they didn't expect that they would hear such shocking gossip when they just leaned on the door panel to listen before leaving.
The disbelief in their eyes when they looked at each other was comparable to that of an elementary school student writing an SCI first-author paper.
However, the matter of the elementary school student writing the paper was just a matter of competition at the beginning, and the reason for the matter could be found based on his blood relationship, but the matter of their vice-president was not so simple.
The professors present looked at each other and immediately felt guilty. After all, they initially thought that Ye Wangxing was a scumbag who was hanging out with four men at the same time, but now it seems that the scumbag is their vice-president!
Elina and the others who were still soaking in the water outside the window were clicking their tongues, feeling that the matter was becoming more and more outrageous. They could tell with their toes that judging from the way Samos behaved, the money was definitely not given by him personally.
Inside the door, Count Uno ignored the cat-eyed man who suddenly stood up from his seat. He looked at Ye Wangxing beside him with a distressed look and said.
"But since you've said that, I naturally won't open up your scars. When I persuaded you to leave that planet, I was thinking of taking you somewhere to relax. I fell in love with you at first sight, so naturally I don't want you to dwell on the past."
After Count Uno finished speaking, he held the young man's hand, soothing him like a real couple.
The young man's face was a little gloomy, as if he felt uncomfortable when thinking about the situation at that time.
At this time, the cat-eyed man suddenly stood up and said.
"Wang Xing! That money wasn't a gift from me at all. You know I've already given you account permissions, so there's no way I'd go through the trouble of transferring money. I even gave you access to the surveillance camera in my room. I wouldn't go through the trouble of transferring money!"
Samos spoke in a panic, speaking very quickly, like a cat being kicked out of the house.
"The one who gave you the money must have been sent by my father. He probably guessed my preferences without authorization, so—"
Before Semos could finish his words, Count Uno interrupted him with his hand and said with some blame.
"Your Excellency failed to protect Wangxing. This is your fault. Please do not shift the blame onto others."
Tears welled up in Samos's beautiful cat eyes again.
But this time he felt truly guilty, he didn't even refute Uno, he just looked at the young man pitifully.
If this happened to someone else, Elina would definitely not think that the two of them could get back together. Even if it was a misunderstanding, so what? Missed it, missed it.
But when she saw the young man's expression...
"Now I understand why your brother can have four boyfriends, but you, Ye Bai, can only have one."
Elina sighed and said to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai, who was still eating melon, asked: "? Why?"
"Look at your brother's expression. I don't even think he blames Lord Semos. For someone so soft-hearted and good-looking, it's not all his ex-boyfriends' fault that he can handle the relationship like this."
Ye Bai sighed as he looked at his elder brother who was already comforting Lord Semos. He nodded to indicate that Elina was right.
"But Lord Semos really admitted his mistake, and he really took action when he found the right opportunity."
Elina sighed as she looked at the man in the box who had already buried the person in the young man's arms.
“I didn’t expect that Lord Semos has been suppressed since Count Uno came in, and now there is a possibility of a comeback.”
The situation in the box was exactly as Elina had described. The young man gently hugged Samos, and the two looked quite warm, as if they were about to reconcile.
Then, turning around, Elena saw Count Uno looking like a resentful husband, with the knives in his eyes almost piercing Semos into a sieve.
However, he was able to adjust his expression to normal immediately when the young man turned around. Elina was quite impressed by his flexibility.
But the next second, Elena took the words back.
——This person has absolutely no intention of keeping calm.
"...It seems the misunderstanding between the two of you has been resolved? That is indeed a happy event, but Wangxing, have you forgotten that your real partner is here?"
Elina looked at Lord Semos, whose expression was frozen on the spot, and the young man with the same frozen expression, and she was very impressed.
——He actually fired his full-power weapon right at those two people’s faces!
But Elena was not surprised. After all, Count Uno looked like a man with a lot of thoughts, and he was indeed very cunning.
It's not impossible for him to get back together with Ye Wangxing without anyone knowing.
Ye Bai was a little shocked and then began to worry about whether the remaining three would fight each other, and whether Count Uno's wealth could allow him to hire an army to help him resist the attacks of Prince Janus and Admiral Otas.
After a long silence, the first person to react in the box was the man with cat eyes. His hands were still tightly wrapped around the young man's waist, but his beautiful eyes were fixed on Count Uno opposite him. He spoke with gritted teeth.
"Wang Xing, when did you get back together with this old man?"
However, Count Uno was not angry when he heard what Semos said. Instead, he looked at the young man as if he was looking at an ignorant child. He did not even answer him. He just raised his glass silently and toasted him with a smile.
What a victorious attitude.
Elina thought about it and turned her head, and found that Lord Semos was indeed a little broken, his face flushed with anger. He raised his head from the young man's arms, loosened his arms, and then clenched his fists, looking like he was ready to fight with Count Uno at any time.
However, what was faster than Lord Cymos's actions were the young man's words - and the lip translation on the optical computer.
"--Uno, when did we get back together?"
These words stunned Samos, as well as the people outside the window. Even the professors widened their eyes.
Didn't the young man know that he and Count Uno had reunited? Wasn't that just Count Uno being too sentimental?
They immediately thought of a series of questions, including whether Count Uno intended to use this name to force the young man to marry him, or whether the young man was actually a sea king and gave the Count the wrong signal.
Elina even imagined a scenario where the young man was suffering from a terminal illness and was planning to say goodbye to his ex.
But then she slapped her head and thought she had watched too many old dramas - how could there be terminal illnesses with the current level of medical care?
When Elina slapped her head and looked up, she saw that Count Uno was not angry or stunned. Instead, he smiled helplessly and said.
"Honey, if you didn't want to get back together with me, why did you come to me with that necklace?"
Count Uno pointed at the young man's neck, and the young man touched the necklace around his neck, startled at first, but then...
boom--
The young man's face turned red instantly. He stammered as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. He looked extremely flustered.
In the end, this young man, who had always been mild-tempered, took off the necklace in a rare moment of rage and threw it at Count Uno. He opened the door of the box and rushed out of the restaurant as if he was escaping for his life.
Count Uno was not angry, but smiled more charmingly as he watched the young man leave.
"Elina, what exactly is that necklace? Why did my brother's face turn so red when he found it? And why didn't Count Uno seem angry?"
Ye Bai asked curiously.
He really didn't recognize the necklace, and didn't understand why the exquisitely crafted necklace made his brother blush like that. Elena didn't recognize it either, so they chose to look at Martha, who was the most knowledgeable in some aspects.
Looking at these two pairs of big eyes that looked extremely pure, Martha didn't know what to say to them for a moment.
Although this thing looks exquisite and beautiful, and is not even the same as some necklaces on the market, but...
From the special unlocking method of the necklace at the connection point through bioelectric analysis, we can tell that this thing...
...is currently the best-selling synesthesia necklace in the empire.
Martha silently covered her blushing face and avoided looking at the pure eyes of the two people next to her.
I just despised Count Uno in my heart.
"...Old man, you're really good at playing around."
Martha's attitude of not saying anything made the other two people present feel that something was wrong, but looking at Martha's expression they finally did not ask, but just looked into the box again.
However, Lord Semos's quiet expression in the box made them feel a little strange. He didn't even ask Count Uno what was going on with the necklace. Instead, he kept his eyes fixed on the food on the table. He didn't even stop the young man from leaving.
He didn't even pay attention to what Count Uno said to him, which showed the ambiguous relationship between him and Ye Wangxing.
"I didn't expect Wang Xing to be so shy. It was just a necklace, but he ran away. He wasn't so shy when I gave him this necklace."
"But now it seems I misunderstood. Wang Xing seems to just treat it as an ordinary ornament. Could it be that this ornament has become a part of his life? I'm truly honored—after all, I thought he had thrown away this necklace a long time ago."
Count Uno said this with a boastful look on his face.
However, after saying a few words and finding that Samos on the opposite side did not respond, he shut up and stopped doing such childish things.
Instead, he smiled and spoke to Samos as if he were a winner.
"Mr. Semos, I hope you enjoy your meal today. I've already settled the bill. I have other things to do at the company. Excuse me, I'll be leaving now."
Count Uno saluted and left the box gracefully, leaving the cat-eyed man sitting in the box. He seemed to be stunned by the shock and wanted to stay quiet for a while.
Elina and the others were preparing to leave. After all, the other two of the three protagonists had left, and there was really nothing more to watch at the scene.
——However, just as they were about to leave, another person suddenly came into the box.
However, the person who came in this time was not one of the two protagonists who had just left, nor was he the remaining two characters who appeared in the scandal, but a man wearing an ordinary professional three-piece suit.
At this time, he also pointed at the computer over there and directly translated the conversation between the two people.
"Master, the professor outside has left, and Earl Uno didn't go after the eldest young master of the Ye family. Do you need me to deal with that person now?"
The assistant reported seriously.
Elina realized instantly that this assistant was Lord Semos's man, not someone sent by the marshal to monitor his son.
The person that the assistant mentioned was sent to deal with the matter was probably the person who gave money to Ye Wangxing on his own initiative.
But Elena didn't care about these. After all, this was a matter concerning Semos's family. What she cared about was that when she heard this, she always felt like she had forgotten something.
"Could it be that the person who was dealt with was actually related to their family?" Elina wondered if her parents had ever told her about this before.
However, his empty brain proved that his family had nothing to do with that person.
While Elena was still confused, the optical brain was still working diligently. When she saw the content translated by the optical brain, Elena finally remembered what she had forgotten.
"...Okay, Master. I will do as you ask. By the way, Master, do you need me to help you invite the eldest young master of the Ye family back and explain things to him again?"
The assistant spoke with a sincere expression.
"After all, Earl Uno is not actually the partner of the Ye family's eldest young master. In this case, you still have a chance."
But what he didn't expect was that his young master actually rejected his proposal and told him not to disturb Ye Wangxing during this period of time.
"...After today's incident is over, I'll go ask him out in person, but don't mention the necklace or anything like that."
There was a hint of nervousness in the man's beautiful cat eyes.
This made the assistant somewhat confused and even shocked.
At this time, Martha and Ye Bai, who were about to leave, also stood there, motionless and obedient - they seemed to have developed an intuition after eating the melon.
There will definitely be big news coming out next.
As expected!
"...I installed several locators next to Wangxing back then, which is how I knew he had left the planet."
Lord Semos said nervously.
"I actually reported this to Wangxing back then, and he agreed. However, our breakup was so sudden, and I guess Wangxing has forgotten. The gift I gave him included a tracking device—so don't remind him during this period, or he'll forget it!"
The man with cat eyes suddenly looked at the assistant fiercely, as if he were some kind of feline beast.
"Otherwise, he will definitely remember those accessories that have the same function as that necklace - and then return it to me! Do you understand?"
The assistant was originally curious about what kind of necklace it was, but after hearing what his boss said, he immediately became serious and nodded vigorously to indicate that he had heard it.
As for Elena and the others outside the door.
"...No, a locator? How on earth did the eldest brother of the Ye family agree to such a thing back then?"
Elina made an incredible sound, then turned to look at Ye Bai - and saw the boy's face full of envy.
It's easy to solve the case, it's in the genes.
but……
"Martha, could that necklace be a locator? But the Ye family's eldest young master doesn't seem like someone who would run away just because of something like this, does he?"
Elina watched Lord Semos leave with his assistant, and realized that it was finally over. She asked as she swam back with them on horseback.
And Martha was still in a trance.
For the first time, she felt that knowing too much was hurting her.
She looked at Elena who was still confused and covered her face again.
Yes, this thing can't compare to that necklace in that respect.
——But if it’s hide-and-seek where the location is reported every 10 minutes, this thing is much more exciting than a necklace.
Martha thought so and sighed in her heart again.
"Those two are having a blast."
When Warden, who was already furious, saw the trio slowly returning from a distance, he immediately seemed to have found a way to vent his anger and started to scold them.
"What the hell is wrong with you? I asked you to come over and watch how business is discussed, but what did you do? You actually ran off to play in the middle of the meal, and played for two hours. You only came back after I finished the business!"
"——If you have this attitude, don't come next time!"
As Warden spoke, he looked at the three people angrily. However, except for Ye Bai who had a guilty look on his face, the other two looked at him with a hint of pity in their eyes.
Warden wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Elina, who said it bluntly.
"So, did you get the deal? You're just sitting here biting people."
Martha, standing by, added, "Judging from his expression and the fact that the food on the table hasn't been touched much, it seems the deal didn't go through."
Elina rolled her eyes at Woden and said, "That's what I thought. No wonder he took it out on innocent people like us right away. Our beloved Crown Prince couldn't even get such a small project?"
"Your pride must be deeply hurt, Your Highness? Do you want to go home and cry to your aunt about how they're bullying you?"
Elina's extremely sarcastic words directly stimulated Ward's brain. He raised his hand and wanted to hit Elina, but he didn't react until his hand hit a hard object.
Elina was still wearing diving gear.
This set of diving equipment specially configured for underwater restaurants has extremely heavy counterweights, which is why Elena screamed for a long time - this diving suit is really ugly, with so much hanging on the body that people who don’t know would think it is a deep-sea monster.
And Worden's venting blow hit the counterweight.
Elina was fine, but Warden's arm, which was not wearing any weight, was hurt by the reaction force.
"Haha, you deserve it."
Elina said sternly, rolling her eyes again.
Ye Bai looked at the scene and didn't dare to say that it was someone else's problem. He also didn't dare to mention the injury on Worden's hand. After all, seeing him endure the pain and his face turned red, he didn't want to hurt Worden's self-esteem.
So he chose to comfort Worden.
"It's okay, Your Highness. It doesn't matter if this project fails. There's always another time. Besides, Your Highness is only 24 years old, the same age as my brother. You're still young. There's no need to worry. Just study for a few more years and you'll be fine."
As Ye Bai spoke, his expression was still that gentle, like a saintly figure guiding a lost lamb.
However, Ye Bai's expression made Woden feel even more humiliated.
"—Get lost! This time it was the clients' fault, not my fault at all. Why do you insist on pinning the blame on me? You keep asking me to reflect, reflect, reflect. Are you some old-fashioned parent?"
Warden said like crazy, then turned around and left without looking back, leaving Ye Bai standing there with a sad face.
Elina looked at Ye Bai with an expression of disbelief, sighed first, then patted Ye Bai on the shoulder and said.
"If it really doesn't work, Ye Bai, why don't you go home and learn how to speak from your brother? Speaking too directly, especially to someone like Woden, really doesn't please him."
Ye Bai looked up at Elena and asked softly, "Really? Is it because I'm too blunt? But he's definitely not that perfect person, is he? I'm also trying very hard to express that I still like him even if he's not perfect."
Elina spread her hands: "That's the problem. Warden just likes others to flatter him - but I don't think he really likes you that much."
However, Ye Bai, who was always good-tempered, once again firmly refuted.
"No! He likes me, he said it himself, he told me two days ago! He would never lie to me!"
Looking at Ye Bai like this, Elina's temper, which had just been suppressed, rose up again.
Just as they were about to quarrel, Martha said something sharp.
"Does he like you as Prince Janus likes your brother?"
Ye Bai: “…”
Martha also pressed on: "Or is it like Lord Semos? Admiral Otas? Or maybe Count Uno?"
Ye Bai was silent.
For the first time, he began to examine his love.
He hadn't found a reference before, but now, comparing himself with his brother and the other four, Ye Bai discovered for the first time that there seemed to be something wrong with the love between him and Woden.
Even if they broke up, even if there was a class difference, but those four, in all the occasions he had seen them...
——Has he ever said anything disparaging about his brother?
Warden didn't know that after he left, Ye Bai began to examine the relationship between them under the guidance of his best friend and his brother.
He was angrily getting on the flying car and heading towards the palace.
Yes, he planned to explain to his mother why he failed this time.
As for the reason, it was definitely not what his irritable cousin said, that he wanted to cry to his mother and say that they were all bullying him.
He was just reporting to his mother normally. Little kids always think that reporting to their parents is like complaining.
As Warden thought about it, the redness on his face became more and more obvious. Fortunately, he couldn't see it and gradually adjusted himself.
During this time in the car, he also determined the reason for the failure of this project.
Anyway, the responsibility is definitely not his. It is the clients who cannot understand the thinking of young people. Such client companies will sooner or later be eliminated in the tide of the times.
Thinking of this, Warden became more and more justified, and even took his anger out on those officials who had gone on the space bungee jumping team-building trip with him before, but turned around and blamed Joe for not coming to work.
Obviously, such team-building activities can better appreciate the beauty of life and the true meaning of life, and can also increase the cohesion among colleagues. After all, we have all been through the same level together, and our friendship can be considered as a life-long friendship, but...
Such a good team-building project, but they don’t know how to appreciate it!
The more Warden thought about it, the angrier he became. Coupled with the failure of today's project, his emotions became even more unstable.
So much so that when he reported to the emperor, his angry voice filled the entire study.
"...Mother, this is absolutely their fault. Their thinking is outdated, they can't keep up with the times, and they can't accept new things. A company like this will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
Warden said this angrily, not noticing his mother sitting behind the desk rubbing her temples with a headache.
The emperor, who had never bowed his head in his entire life, was finally crushed by his own son.
In fact, this project is very simple. The emperor simply gives it to the maid around him and thinks that she can solve the problem perfectly.
After all, it is just signing a contract with a client who has already been contacted, not asking him to go to the sky or the earth, or to other planets to develop business!
If her inexperienced and silly son really went to any of the above projects, he would be doomed!
It really is just an ordinary palace procurement project! Send a dog to sign, he just needs to leave a paw print!
But look at his silly son what he is doing.
Take people to the coral reef in the deep sea and eat the special food in the underwater restaurant?
Or those special delicacies that require feeding through a feeding tube? Isn't that just a hassle?
The emperor's blood pressure rose just thinking about it.
She originally wanted to comfort her silly son. After all, although her silly son was a little stupid, he was still a normal person. At least he did not break the law. He was just stupid.
Moreover, whenever his projects failed, he always came back with a devastated expression, as if he had been beaten up by society. That expression had aroused her maternal love, but now...
Listening to Woden's angry tone and his completely inappropriate words, the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Warden Eric! You bastard! Shut up!"
The emperor rarely yelled at people so angrily after he ascended the throne, and the person he was yelling at was actually her son.
This also frightened Warden.
"I'm telling you bluntly that the failure of this project is entirely your fault. It was your arrogance and stupidity that ruined it! This client has been working with the Palace for years without any problems, and the only variable was you!"
The emperor rebuked without hesitation.
"Yes, you're the only variable! So everything is your fault, not the client's! And Warden, I've been maintaining your self-esteem and haven't told you, but now I have to correct your wrong ideas!"
"——All your so-called fantastic ideas are rubbish!"
The emperor said sternly, "No one likes bungee jumping except for some young people who seek excitement, and these people obviously don't like to go bungee jumping with their colleagues during work team-building activities."
"Especially since those officials are old, they're almost reaching retirement age, and you actually took this group of middle-aged and elderly people to such an exciting ride. It's perfectly normal for them not to want to go. Your complaints are worthless!"
That afternoon the Emperor scolded Worden without restraint for three hours.
From his projects to his interpersonal relationships, even Woden's attitude towards Ye Bai was scolded by the emperor.
The emperor no longer cared about Woden's self-esteem and other problems. She had paid too much attention to his self-esteem and his psychological safety before, which led to his arrogant mentality.
Anyway, the emperor has already prepared the world's top psychologist to ensure that Worden will not commit suicide.
As for whether Warden would hate her?
She was already prepared. Let Woden hate her even if he wanted to. After all, whether the throne would be in Woden's hands or not was another matter.
——She is only 60 years old, in the prime of her life, and it is completely in time for her to have another child.
However, the emperor did not want this. After all, Woden was the result of her education, and he was also responsible for Woden's current condition. Unless Woden was completely hopeless, the emperor did not want to use Woden like a tool and then throw him away.
Of course, it is also because she still has time now, and she is an emperor with real power, otherwise she would have given birth to a second child long ago.
With this idea in mind, after scolding Worden, she gave Worden one last chance to learn.
——She included Warden in the next joint logistics poverty alleviation project.
Of course, he doesn't have any real power. The most he can do is look for information, but AI can do this kind of thing, so all his employees are AI.
Most of the living people he could come into contact with were his superiors. The few other team leaders were either powerful cadres or...
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the several documents he had just retrieved.
Among these documents, the young man who looked like a small animal was quite conspicuous.
——If this person is put into this project and asked to coordinate and collaborate, there might be a very wonderful chemical reaction.
Besides...
The emperor raised his lips, a glint of gossip flashed in his eyes, and he pulled up another piece of information.
Looking at his niece above, the emperor murmured.
"You must bring me the latest news, Elena."
Woden was unaware of his mother's bad taste. He came out of the palace in a daze that day and fell directly on the bed after returning to his own palace.
He found it hard to accept his own shortcomings, and even wondered if his mother had been bewitched by someone to treat him this way, but...
What Warden hated to admit was that his mother had been handling official affairs quite normally and had carried out joint poverty alleviation and logistics projects quite wisely.
After all, if one admitted that his mother was sane, then it was right for him to insert himself into the project as a handyman.
He doesn't even have any human employees under him. When he wanted to show off his power and exercise the rights that an official of his status should have, he looked up and saw only these AI employees in front of him.
They work absolutely diligently. Anyone who wants to cause trouble for AI can only be said to be crazy.
However, Warden did not give up at first. In his opinion, he was not showing off his power. He was just reviewing the work progress of other human employees and helping his peers to do their work better.
He did succeed, but it didn't last long...
"Oh my, isn't that my cousin the Crown Prince? How did he finally get over the pain of not even securing a single solid project? He's truly the man of courage, despite setbacks. This spirit is truly worth learning from."
Warden was directing the employees in their work when he turned around and heard his extremely annoying cousin coming over and speaking to him with a sarcastic look on her face.
Warden didn't know why Alina appeared in this project. She was a playboy! A playboy who had never hosted any project!
Even though he had failed more times before, he still had some projects that he had negotiated!
Why did my mother put Alina here? !
"I'm here to ask my aunt to help me get some gilded credentials, right? I'm about to take over my mother's project, so my resume needs to look good. Even if I'm a puppet, it has to be the most beautiful puppet."
Looking at Elina's self-righteous look, Warden was in disbelief.
How could she be so shameless as to say such a thing? Doesn't she have the slightest ambition to achieve something?
"...I'm not like you who doesn't recognize my own strength. I know clearly that with my ability, I'm thankful that I haven't been cheated out of my money. Unlike you, who goes around giving away money."
"Then have you ever thought about how your employees see you?" Warden said in disbelief.
"I paid them what they deserved, let them have afternoon tea as much as they wanted, and provided all kinds of welfare facilities. And they also gave me the results I deserved during working hours. Why should I care what they think of me?"
Elina said, looking at Warden with a confused expression.
"As long as they don't betray their country, give me work results on time, and find me a perfect replacement for their job even if they change jobs, why should I care what they think of me? Am I a pervert?"
Warden: ...
Warden was hit hard by Elina's words and went back to the office. He wouldn't come out for a while.
Elina put away the confusion on her face, sneered, turned around and ordered a batch of milk tea for the employees who were disturbed at work, and then gave a big red envelope to the harassed employee.
Then, seeing the happy expressions of her employees, Elena returned to her office in a very good mood, and happened to see Ye Bai sitting in her office with a dazed look on his face.
"What happened? Did you get hurt when you went to see Woden?"
Elina said jokingly.
Ye Bai still shook his head in a daze, and said weakly: "No, I just went to the military headquarters with my brother..."
"Isn't that Admiral Otas's territory? You won't be bullied if you follow your brother, so why do you look so shocked?"
Elina was really worried now.
