Chapter 269: Protecting the Stars, We Are Serious
An Xingwan and his friends were originally planning to set up camp at the beach, but the tides had been unstable in recent days, so they went to the top of the mountain.
The area in the rocky area that was vacant because of their move has now begun to be paved with roads. Once the roads are completed, restaurants, guesthouses, and other buildings can be built.
"You want to poach me?" Huo Shao was eating barbecue and preparing to peel shrimps with his hands. He looked at Yuan Yu with a bandit-like smile.
He was a weapons developer affiliated with the Empire, although he had already threatened to resign a few hours ago.
Yuan Yu nodded slightly. Because they were far away from the live broadcast device, neither the people nor the voices could be recorded.
"Xingxing holds the rights to develop Mosa's weapons. No matter who does the research for Xingxing, I will be the agent for sales."
Yuan Yu chuckled and handed him a glass of lemon sparkling water. Huo Weixi was still a little moved after hearing his words.
But he is loyal to the empire after all, and Yuan Yu is the unpopular second prince. He must be unpopular, otherwise the royal family would have no reason to hide such a high-level warrior and not give him any position.
And he could do such a thing against him, even implicating Xingxing.
"Are you using the stars?" Huo Weixi squinted his eyes and looked at him inquiringly.
Behind the stars are the Ning family of Dacesna City, the Yu family who are determined to recognize their daughter, and many important fans.
Yuan Yu wants to use the stars to seize the throne? This is a very good choice.
"How could that be?" Yuan Yu was not angry because of Huo Weixi's misunderstanding, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
He really wanted to show off his marriage application, but it was a very precious treasure to him and he was reluctant to use it as a means of showing off.
"I don't know how to use the stars, nor do I have any intention of usurping the throne. If I wanted to take action, I would have done it long ago. Why should I be so passive?"
Yuan Yu patiently explained, then tilted his head and said, "The transport ship's seizure this time was not accidental. I just wanted to give Xingxing an extra layer of protection."
If he could win over Huo Weisi, the empire's weapons research and development might not be completely under his control, but it would definitely make those two people wary.
Huo Weisi is recognized as the most promising person in the weapons class, and the empire is also trying its best to train him.
"Really?" Huo Weixi was still skeptical. After all, a liar would never show ambition on his face.
Yuan Yu didn't rush him to answer, but just said leisurely: "Xingxing and I prosper together, and our futures have long been intertwined."
Huo Weisi lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes hid the thoughts in his eyes.
After a long moment, he finally spoke: "What's your company's name? I'll apply for the job tomorrow."
Huo Weixi agreed to Yuan Yu's invitation, and Yuan Yu was not surprised that he would choose his company.
Because he is Huo Weisi, one of the talents that the empire values very much. If he is directly invested in the name of Xingxing, some senior officials of the empire will target Xingxing at all costs.
Treat stars as hostile targets and implement plans to hinder their development, possibly even various assassinations.
Huo Weisi is a smart man. He cares about the stars and naturally will not send them into danger.
"I want a high salary, not even a star coin less." Huo Weixi raised his face. He didn't feel bad about blackmailing Yuan Yu.
The extra salary can be used to buy gifts for the stars, just like saving money for them.
Yuan Yu saw through his thoughts at a glance, raised his hand and drank his glass of sparkling water, smacking his lips and saying, "How little do you trust me? You all save money for Xingxing."
Huo Weixi raised his eyebrows in surprise, Yuan Yu sighed, and silently sighed in his heart - you must not make Xingxing unhappy, otherwise she will run away in a minute and there will be a bunch of people helping her from behind, which will be difficult to deal with.
Huo Weixi drank water with a fox-like smile on his face. In fact, he didn't intend to refuse Yuan Yu from the beginning.
He had no idea about the mess going on in the royal family and was too lazy to find out.
He doesn't care whether Yuan Yu wants to usurp the throne or not. The Homer family is extremely powerful. No matter who is in the upper position of the royal family, it will not affect the Homer family.
He said so much just to test Yuan Yu's attitude towards Xingxing. Now he seems very satisfied.
No matter what, Xingxing is the apple of her fans' eyes. It's okay that Xingxing has good taste. Let's all wish her the best.
If she has poor taste and likes trash like Wei Ling, then he doesn't mind being a bad guy and clearing out all the scumbags in Xingxing's love life.
Yuan Yu and Huo Weixi signed the contract. That night, Xingxing and Lindong also knew about it. Huo Weixi did not deliberately hide it and even hoped to make a bigger fuss.
Let everyone know that it was Yuanyu who poached him, and the new company he joined was also Yuanyu's company.
This was decided after discussion between Huo Weixi and Yuan Yu. Now Yuan Yu needs to come out into the open to protect Xingxing from some danger.
[Wei Lan Weapons Company? Boss, your naming skills are on par with Xing Xing.]
[Yes, this name is very star-like.]
[Wei Lan? This is actually the boss's company. The quality of their weapons is amazing!]
[Our army uses weapons from the big company, absolutely first-rate.]
[Awesome! They just poached Huo Weixi away, and the Empire will let him go?]
[Everyone, check out Cangyu! Prince Yao has spoken out, saying that even if Huo Weixi isn't working in the Empire for R&D, he's still working for the Empire. What does this mean?]
Yuan Yu looked at his elder brother's reputation and had an idea: his elder brother was going to take action.
As soon as this idea came to his mind, Yuan Yao called him.
"Banquet? It's just a diplomatic banquet with Mosa, right? Is it necessary for Xingxing to attend the banquet?"
Yuan Yu was curious, was there something wrong with diplomacy?
"Not only that, our father has secretly invited many young masters and young ladies from other families. I think it is very necessary for you and Xingxing to come, otherwise you might be arranged to be married by them."
The king, who is also his and Xiaoyu's father, is only in his fifties this year and is considered very young in the empire.
Yuan Yao's philosophy of governing the country was very different from his, and he always felt that he owed his younger brother, which made the king very dissatisfied.
But he couldn't really do anything to Yuan Yao, because no matter how many years passed, the throne would always be given to him.
Compared to his eldest son, he would probably be more frightened if Yuan Yu came to power.
The only thing the king was worried about was Yuan Yu. His mother was between them. Yuan Yu did not seem to be angry on the surface, but who knew what he was thinking?
The king was guilty and afraid of Yuan Yu's revenge, but he didn't want to wipe out the high-gene son he had sacrificed so much for, so he planned to break up the couple and control Yuan Yu.
"Then go." The person who responded was not Yuan Yu, but Lin Dong who came with Xingxing.
Xingxing also chuckled and did not intend to refuse. She wanted to see what the legendary king and queen looked like.
Since she has decided to be with Yuan Yu, the things that she once found troublesome are no longer troubles, but gaps that must be overcome.
"Then I'll prepare invitations for you guys. Oh, and bring Huo Weisi along. Father gave us such a big gift, so we have to give something in return, right?"
Yuan Yao always had a steady and calm smile on his face, which made Lin Dong subconsciously raise his eyebrows.
The future king of the empire is no ordinary person.
