He picked up another plate of pudding from the table, leaned back in his chair, and calmly examined the guest who was talking to Pei Ji.
The lord of Jiluo Star, the head of the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Golden Butterfly Auction, and... Duke Owen?
——The hereditary noble of Messiah and also the largest shareholder of the Tree of Life.
Shen Que looked at him in surprise.
His throat moved slightly as he swallowed the soft and sticky pudding.
Why is he here?
The Tree of Life Company focuses on the entertainment track, while Baishaxing focuses more on industry.
The two have nothing to do with each other in business, even...
Because of Pei Ji's reputation, he can be considered an enemy in a sense.
It can't be that because Pei Ji contributed too many hot searches to Star Network, he came to meet the traffic giant in person, right?
Watching the pot-bellied Duke and Pei Ji drinking together with their arms around each other.
Shen Que inexplicably felt unhappy in his heart.
He had met Duke Owen once before at the Royal Court, at the Queen's banquet.
His impression of the duke can be described in two words: greasy.
In four words: quite greasy.
At that time, he was the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, and Duke Owen approached him repeatedly, hoping that he could participate in a special interview on Star Network.
Shen Que hated being in the spotlight, and most of Star Network's interviews were for entertainment purposes, so naturally he was unwilling to participate.
But this duke seemed to not understand what he was saying and kept sticking to him.
He couldn't show his displeasure at the Queen's banquet, so he could only deal with it tiredly.
In the end, I didn't even get to eat a bite of dessert.
The chef in charge of desserts at that banquet was specially invited from Tianfu Star, and he was an expert at making syrup sponge cake.
The more Shen Que thought about it, the more unhappy he became, his expression darkened slightly, and the pudding in his hand no longer felt sweet.
Suddenly, a disdainful voice came from the side: "What a wonderful opening dance, Pei Ji! I thought you were going to perform fried worms at the beginning."
A tall, thin man walked over, pushing his way through the crowd.
The man was wearing a military uniform, and if you looked closely, his features and eyebrows were 70% similar to Duke Owen's.
As soon as he appeared, Pei Ji, who had been patiently entertaining Owen, suddenly became gloomy.
"Austin." A cold smile appeared on his face. "Why is the Fifth Fleet so idle? They even gave you leave to attend other people's banquets."
The man named Austin looked disdainful.
"I saved up half a year's vacation just to see you dance like a dumb AI, and I wasn't disappointed. The Star Network's ghost video section already has the material."
Pei Ji sneered, "You edited this material yourself, right?"
The smell of gunpowder in the air suddenly became thicker.
Shen Que frowned slightly.
He felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Who is he?" he asked Anya.
Anya leaned close to Shen Que's ear and said, "His name is Austin. He is the youngest son of Duke Owen. He is now the rear admiral of the Fifth Fleet and is also... a former classmate of the admiral."
"Classmates?"
Shen Que glanced at the two of them.
"Yes... that's the one... You know how I went to blow up a bug nest alone during the Admiral's graduation exam? It was because of a bet I made with him..."
"Oh..." Shen Que understood and said meaningfully, "Little finger."
Anya nodded: "Yes, yes, that's the one who gave the Admiral the pinky finger."
She quickly said, "Madam, please don't imitate him! This action is very dirty on Baisha Star."
Austin, Irving, Tree of Life...
Shen Que suddenly understood why Pei Ji had such a bad reputation on Star Network.
After all this trouble, I ended up offending the leader of the water army.
Pei Ji and Austin were still exchanging words with each other.
From "No way? Second-class Major General personally went to Mercury Network?"
To "That's no better than an admiral. He can still find time to kill a bug during the wedding."
When Austin said this, he glanced at Chen Que seemingly unintentionally, and was immediately noticed by the sharp-eyed Pei Ji.
"Hello!"
He suddenly grabbed Austin's neck and pulled him aside.
Pei Ji used all his strength, and Austin was strangled to the point where he could hardly breathe. He cursed:
"Fuck you, Pei Ji! I'm a minority shareholder of the Tree of Life! Admiral of the Fifth Fleet! How dare you murder me..."
Pei Ji's arms tightened, and he swallowed back the rest of his words.
He leaned close to Austin's ear and asked with a dark smile on his face, "Does it look good?"
Austin was stunned and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's so good-looking..."
"Commander, does it look good?"
Austin's face flushed red, and he didn't know if it was because he was holding it in or because he was angry.
Pei Ji watched his expression change with amusement, raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself.
"My wife."
Austin struggled madly: "Fuck &*...&% Pei Ji, you are shameless! If you have the guts, you&&%...￥"
Duke Owen watched this scene with joy.
"Hahaha, what a great relationship..."
Shen Que: “…”
He suddenly asked, "What was the bet between Pei Ji and Austin about?"
Anya shook her head blankly. "When the Admiral went to school, I hadn't come to Shenxing Palace yet...so..."
She looked at Demi for help.
Demi also shook her head, "Well... the Admiral never said anything, so I don't know."
Phil, who was leading the CP discussion on Starnet, suddenly looked up: "I heard a little bit about it."
"What what?" Demi and Anya immediately pricked up their ears.
Phil put on an inscrutable expression. "Didn't the Lord's wife come to Chenxing Palace to train the Admiral for three days and three nights? She drank a pound and a half of tea alone... I just happened to be delivering tea..."
