Just a few simple words, but they were like a thunderclap.
Although Chen Que appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already surging with raging waves.
This is a production line that concerns the survival of the Imperial Fleet.
Throughout the empire, no one, whether royal nobles, parliamentary officials or lords of all sizes, wanted to be connected to this line.
When the Ikaros Empire was unified, in order to obtain the important territory of Baisha Star, the late Emperor I signed an agreement with the first lord of Baisha Star:
Never interfere with the production lines of all mineral resources on Baisha Star, on the premise that the gold sand mined can only be supplied to the Empire's fleet.
Three hundred years.
This line has always been controlled by Baishaxing.
The nation that grew up in the wind and sand is a natural warrior.
During the tenure of the previous emperor, his cowardice and incompetence led to chaos in the imperial court.
Some lords who intended to rebel tried to invade Baisha Star, plunder the sand gold, and secretly build high-level mechas to fight against the empire. As a result, they were almost blown to pieces by Pei Li's private fleet.
From then on, no one dared to have any evil thoughts towards Sha Jin.
"You don't have to be too nervous."
Ai Fan continued, seeming satisfied with Shen Que's apparent calmness.
"The General Services Administration on Baisha Star has a department specifically responsible for ore mining, production, and safety. The management of the entire production line is very mature. All you have to do is sign and collect the money."
"Of course, we have to decide on some important matters. If we are unsure, we can discuss it with other responsible persons."
Shen Que nodded: “Was this part of the business originally managed by the lord?”
Ai Fan crossed his fingers and placed them on his knees, smiling.
“No, I manage it.”
"So, if you don't know anything, you can ask me."
After saying this, she looked at Shen Que's reaction with interest.
Unfortunately, the young Omega lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid all his emotions.
As the former supreme commander, staying calm and not showing any signs of panic is an instinct running in his blood.
After a moment of silence, Shen Que calmly asked, "Mother, I have a question."
Ai Fan raised his head: "You say."
Shen Que looked at Ai Fan: "Why me?"
It's not fear or dread, just pure confusion.
The Omega in front of him was very confident and sharp.
A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of Ai Fan's mouth.
She coughed lightly.
"Ah, that's easy."
"Actually, this business was originally going to be given to Pei Ji. In order to let him get familiar with it beforehand, we let him act as the agent for a while."
A bad premonition arose in my heart.
Shen Que: "So... Admiral..."
Ai Fan glanced at Shen Que dimly.
"Forty million."
"One month."
"A business that hadn't lost money in a hundred years, now lost 40 million in a single month under Pei Ji's control."
Ai Fan spoke each word clearly.
"I don't understand."
Shen Que: “…”
Ai Fan: "Take responsibility for your actions, Commander Shen. If you want to blame someone, blame your incompetent Alpha."
…
When Shen Que returned to the bedroom, he found that the leaf-shaped lamp he had left on before leaving was still on.
Pei Ji did not come back.
What surprised him a little was that Anya, his personal maid who always followed him around, was not there either.
The plate of cookies was still on the table.
Shen Que took one and found that it was hot, probably just out of the oven.
The little maid came back, changed the biscuits and left again.
Sitting on the bed, Shen Que bit the biscuits one by one, carefully recalling every scene of the dinner, making sure that he should not have done anything inappropriate.
After the scenes flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, he finally relaxed and curled up in his quilt, waiting for the coldness in his body to gradually fade away.
Pei Ji hadn't returned to the First Oasis for many years, and there was no trace of him in this room.
Shen Que closed his eyes slightly, his mind still pondering the meaning of every word the lord's wife said.
He was actually grateful to Ai Fan.
At the wedding, if she hadn't asked for the wedding to continue, perhaps the final result would have been that he could no longer hold on, making the farce even more difficult to end.
But after the conversation just now, he found that the lord's wife was not as gentle and calm as she appeared.
The initial temptation, the kindness in the middle, and the mention of Pei Ji at the end made it impossible for him to refuse.
It was like a trap set specifically for him.
And he has only one way, which is to "step in".
Although he didn't know what the wife of the Lord of Baisha Star hoped to gain from him, Shen did not like to escape, and was not afraid.
But there is always some worry in my heart that I can't let go of.
What would Pei Ji think?
The ore business and the gold sand production line.
The important task that was originally assigned to him now falls on his Omega.
Can that arrogant and competitive Alpha really accept it?
Or would I get angry and feel embarrassed because of this?
The terminal left on the table kept flashing.
By this time, the dinner at Greenmo Garden should have ended.
Pei Ji hasn't come back yet.
Are you having any problems?
With a hint of worry, Shen Que composed himself and put the terminal back on his wrist.
The moment I clicked it, my heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly skipped a beat.
I saw many kissing emoticons flashing across the screen.
It's like mental pollution.
The latest message is——
Pei Ji: [Wife, baby, kiss~~ I miss you so much that I can’t stand it~]
