Chapter 693 Mechanical Interstellar (12)
Before they knew it, the day of the banquet arrived. The three of them dressed up nicely and boarded a spaceship to head to the Imperial Star.
No one at the banquet bothered Wangyou, but the old foxes were trying to get information out of her indirectly, which was quite a brain drain.
But given her status, she couldn't just hide in a corner, so she felt quite regretful.
At this moment, Wangyou was genuinely envious of Xiao Tou. Putting aside everything else, at least at this kind of banquet, there wouldn't be a constant stream of people coming up to greet you, try to build connections, and exchange pleasantries.
Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin stayed by Wangyou's side the whole time. Wangyou glanced at them and decisively decided to shift the blame.
"Achen, Linlin, you two keep watch for me. I need to find some peace and quiet. Whatever the family heads and His Highness the Crown Prince need to say, their attitude is my attitude." Wangyou didn't hide anything from the family heads and the Crown Prince around her when she spoke.
The heads of several families and the crown prince exchanged glances unintentionally. This young master of the Xie family was quite nice to the husbands of these two small families. It seemed they couldn't be treated casually.
Wangyou wasn't worried about the two of them making a mistake. Although they rarely attended large banquets, they hadn't missed any of the things they needed to learn. They knew very well what to say and what not to say in such situations. In addition, with Wangyou's attitude set in there, no one dared to openly cause trouble.
Wangyou went out for some fresh air by herself. The eyes of the family heads around her lit up. They hadn't managed to get anything useful out of Young Master Xie just now, but since these two were valued by Young Master Xie, they must know a lot of inside information, so it should be easier to ask them.
So, one after another, the old foxes came out to offer their services. Some asked if their Star Source had any land for sale, others asked if their latest mechs were available for sale, and some even suggested that the two of them be generous and find a few more men for Young Master Xie.
The other two might not care, but arranging men for their wives and even acting as matchmakers would be unbearable for two jealous people. They might not show it on their faces, but they'd already figured out how to get revenge.
Fortunately, the person didn't dare to go too far, only mentioning it briefly before stopping, which allowed the conversation to continue.
"Thank you, Wangyou!"
"Your Highness, is something the matter?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious why you chose those two people. What makes them better than me?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Wangyou asked, puzzled. Her marriage had absolutely nothing to do with the Crown Prince.
"Can't you see me? Don't you know I've liked you for a long time?" Perhaps because he had drunk a little, the Crown Prince felt his mind was a bit out of control.
"You're a pervert! I wasn't even an adult back then. Besides, you're not as good-looking as my Achen and Linlin, nor are you as considerate as my Achen and Linlin. Moreover, if you like me, I have to reciprocate. Lots of people like me, who do you think you are?" Wangyou's words were anything but polite.
Having shaken off a group of old foxes, Zhang Qilin and Xie Yuchen, who had come out to find Wangyou, overheard these words. They were initially a little jealous, but now they were completely appeased.
Xuan Yuanche's eyes cleared for a moment, but when he saw the person in front of him turn around without hesitation, his eyes darkened considerably. She was much more difficult to deal with than when she was a child. She truly deserved to be taught by Chief Xie.
"Achen, Linlin, we've met almost everyone, let's go back." Wangyou was in a bad mood.
"Okay." The three of them left without returning to the banquet hall.
"Wife, are there really that many people who like you?" Xie Yuchen asked with a smile, seeing that Wangyou was not in a good mood.
"Do you think there are many?"
"Of course there are many. My Wangyou is beautiful, comes from a good family, and is very capable. How could no one like her? It's just a little annoying." Xie Yuchen reached out and hugged Wangyou, saying in a sullen tone.
"What's bothering you?"
"I'm annoyed that they saw what you looked like as a child, but I never did."
“That crown prince was your classmate, and you two spent a long time together,” Zhang Qilin casually remarked as he returned with a cup of tea.
"Is Linlin unhappy too?" Wangyou got out of Xie Yuchen's arms and pinched Zhang Qilin's cheek.
"Yes, he even confessed his feelings to you while he was drunk."
"You guys are overthinking it. Xuan Yuanche may like me, but he loves power more. He's just testing me. He's been acting all this time since we were kids. Don't pay any attention to him."
Judging from his behavior, the royal family is probably getting a little anxious, but it's not a big problem. If things really get too bad, the royal family can always find a replacement.
Seeing that Wangyou's tone was relaxed and the anger between her brows had disappeared, I felt relieved.
After returning home, Wangyou pondered for a long time before finally going to the laboratory to work with the Xie family's experts on how to find the mother insect and completely eradicate the insect race.
Meanwhile, the development of the tourist planet is nearing completion, requiring only minor modifications before it can be put into operation.
During this process, Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin's abilities in handling affairs improved dramatically, and Xie Junnian and others no longer objected to the two of them handling internal affairs of the Xie family.
There's nothing else to it; these two can be a little lazy when handling clan affairs, and some minor issues that are not too serious can be modified.
Unlike Wangyou, who has a photographic memory, she also has a bit of OCD. If she doesn't see something, it's fine, but if she does, she'll nitpick and make them perfect the plan.
Of course, this is also the reason why their ability to handle things has been continuously improved, but people always need to rest after living under high pressure for a long time.
Wangyou understood this principle, so she gradually delegated most of her tasks. She only needed to grasp the general direction and ensure that no problems arose within the clan.
To be honest, she really dislikes reading copywriting; she'd love for someone else to do it for her.
However, Zhang Qilin and Xie Yuchen suffered because they had much less time to spend with Wangyou. But when Wangyou acted cute, the two of them completely abandoned their principles and willingly helped with clan affairs.
Wangyou was quite relaxed, spending her days either checking in at Xie Yuchen's place or causing trouble at Zhang Qilin's place, and otherwise focusing on researching the mother insect sensor in the laboratory.
Three years later, the Xie family's fighting strength and financial resources had doubled, and Wangyou's experiments had also achieved great success; all that was left was to find the mother insect.
After three years of training, Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin have become more mature and composed.
These two knew that because members of the Xie family carried wooden plaques, the Xie family members would instinctively fear and submit to those who possessed high-ranking dragon plaques, and those without wooden plaques would be even more fearful.
Therefore, Wangyou was not worried at all because she had arranged everything. As long as she wanted, she could instantly take back the power she had given away.
With this, Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin were completely relieved. The two of them made the best use of Xie Junnian and the other people from the Jiaolong brand, greatly reducing the number of things they had to do and naturally giving them more time to spend with their wives.
