Among the senior officials of the East Palace, when it comes to loyalty to Li Tianlan, the military advisor who is always thinking about how to retire and travel around the world is naturally not ranked high.
But he never made any compromises in executing Li Tianlan's orders.
Li Tianlan said that he would give Wang Shengxiao a glass of cold water and tell him to drink it and get out.
So in Huating, where the temperature had dropped below zero, almost midnight, the military advisor poured Wang Shengxiao a glass of pure water, then stared at him, waiting for him to finish drinking and get out.
Wang Shengxiao was a little helpless. When he took the disposable paper cup handed over by the military advisor, he smiled and complained: "Look, do you think this is ridiculous? I ran two thousand kilometers and came here, and sat on dozens of floors.
Did you come up in the elevator just to drink a glass of water from him? Even if you are an opponent, you won’t be treated like this, right? The East Palace is not so poor that you can’t even afford a meal. Your Majesty is too small-minded. Uncle
My brother and my brother-in-law have probably never been like this since ancient times."
"Don't mind."
The military advisor smiled, sat down opposite Wang Shengxiao, and said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty just doesn't like you. You should know that your presence is not welcome here or anywhere in the East Palace. This has nothing to do with whether you are an opponent or not.
, Sometimes when you dislike someone, it has nothing to do with hatred. If I were you, I would say goodbye and leave when the person arrives, and stay for a glass of water. Hey, is the water in the East Palace so delicious?"
Wang Shengxiao lowered his head and took a sip of water.
There is also a theory about the source of water of Shengshi Fund. A few years ago, there was a saying within Shengshi Fund. It is said that Han Donglou’s daily drinking water is flown in from under a snow-capped mountain abroad, which fully proves the wealth of Shengshi Fund.
, but no matter where it is flown in, water is water, neither sweet nor salty, and it will still be the same when you drink it.
"so so."
Wang Shengxiao commented and put the cup aside. No matter how he said that Li Tianlan was petty, he was not afraid of Donghuang Palace poisoning the water. Donghuang Palace still had this kind of tolerance, and with his current strength, the so-called poison,
Most of them are meaningless.
"Please drink if you want."
The military advisor looked at Wang Shengxiao with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and yawned: "You are old and useless. I will send you away. It's time for me to rest."
"No hurries?"
Wang Shengxiao laughed: "Although the quality of Shengshi Fund is average, the people at Shengshi Fund are so good-looking. Sitting here, I really can't bear to leave."
A strange look flashed across the saint's expression.
Good-looking person?
Who is this talking about?
Qin Weibai?
Or Huangfu Qiushui?
No matter who says it, they are indeed pretty.
The sound insulation effect in the apartment on the top floor of Shengshi Fund can be said to be top-notch. Now that Li Tianlan's door is closed, it is completely human to imagine what a man and two women are doing in the room now, but it takes courage to dare to say it directly.
.
"This is the sixty-eighth floor."
The military advisor's voice sounded very kind.
"Um?"
Wang Shengxiao was a little confused.
"Although His Majesty is not here, his sword energy is enough to cover the entire Shengshi Building. If you say these things, are you afraid that His Majesty will throw you from the 68th floor? Even if you are not killed, you will always be the one who is embarrassed, right?
"
"..."
Wang Shengxiao was silent for a while before he understood, and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about Qin Weibai, nor Xiao Qiushui. The former's good looks are recognized in the dark world, and the latter's good looks are recognized within Beihai. It's a well-known thing, so to speak.
What's the meaning?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Han Donglou, and said with a smile, "I'm telling you you are good-looking."
"..."
Han Donglou twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Wang Shengxiao. Throughout his life, especially after he founded Shengshi Fund, he had heard countless comments, such as being cunning, unfathomable, resourceful, and cruel... etc.
wait wait wait.
But in my memory, it seems that this is the first time someone has complimented me on how good-looking I am.
To be fair, the military advisor is indeed a handsome old man. Although his daughter has reached the age where she can talk about marriage, he himself does not look old at all except for some wrinkles. However, standing at his height, his appearance is no longer
Now that he is the center of attention, everyone's first reaction when seeing him will be the wealth behind him that can affect Central Continent and even the whole world. Who cares about a person like him who is beautiful and ugly?
What's even more annoying to the military advisor is that the first person to compliment him on his good looks in these years is a fucking man.
The contemporary patriarch of the Beihai Wang family.
What do you think of Nima?
If Xia Zhi or Tang poetry and Song poetry hear your words, won't they be afraid that they will beat you to death?
The military advisor sat there and held it in for a long time before he said, "I know a good psychiatrist. If necessary...well, we can call him over to play with him."
"I'm not sick."
Wang Shengxiao said seriously: "I am telling the truth. At least in my eyes, anyone who wants to keep a distance from my brother-in-law, I will think he is good-looking, no matter he is a boy or a girl."
keep distance...
The military advisor narrowed his eyes, looked at Wang Shengxiao, and said calmly: "I don't know what you mean."
"That's the literal meaning. Doesn't everything you do explain the situation? You are staying away from the East Palace. To be precise, since the merger of Shengshi Fund into the East Palace, you have consciously kept a distance from Li Tianlan. Beihai is paying attention.
You have been wanting to ask you for a long time, but I have never had a chance. Today's time may not be suitable, but I still want to ask you, what are you thinking about?"
Wisps of sword energy spread from Wang Shengxiao's side.
The sword energy silently replaced the sword energy that Li Tianlan unconsciously exuded. Li Tianlan may have noticed it, or he may not have noticed it, or he was busy, but in short, he ignored Wang Shengxiao's behavior.
Wang Shengxiao smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, Li Tianlan can't hear our conversation today."
"It's really amazing."
The military advisor raised his thumb in admiration.
"Between you and me, there is no need to praise each other, I just want an answer."
Wang Shengxiao said calmly: "The matter in Huating has actually been resolved a long time ago, but when most of the core executives of Shengshi Fund were in the East Palace, you stayed in Huating. The outside world can give many explanations for this matter.
It really doesn’t seem like much, but since the establishment of Donghuang Palace, many of your actions have been to keep a distance from Li Tianlan, intentionally or unintentionally. I want to know why?"
"What do you think?"
The military advisor looked at Wang Shengxiao and said with a half-smile.
"If I were to guess... I'm probably still a little unwilling, right?"
Wang Shengxiao's smile slowly widened under the light, with a vague and ferocious look.
The military advisor looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
"How many industries Shengshi Fund owns is still a mystery in the dark world, but just what has been exposed so far makes people feel breathless. When today's Central Continent media is still reporting hundreds of billions of net worth
When you were the richest man, only a few people knew that even if you only had a small share of Shengshi Fund, you were enough to leave those richest men far behind. From this point of view, Shengshi Fund is just an industry exposed to the outside world.
It’s enough to accommodate several wealthy families.”
Wang Shengxiao said lightly: "There may be other reasons why you can do this, such as the support of the Reincarnation Palace, or something else. These are unavoidable reasons, but equally, the efforts you have made and
The contribution cannot be ignored.”
"Pap..."
The military advisor calmly lit a cigarette.
"I admire you."
Wang Shengxiao said slowly: "But I also pity you."
There was a strange smile in his voice: "You have personally built a suffocating money empire that can turn the world's economy upside down. You are not invincible, but your existence, in a sense, is
Even compared to the peak invincible, it is more terrifying than the so-called genius. The Central Continent in the peaceful and prosperous age, the Star Kingdom striving for the upper reaches, the European Union that is about to make a move, the East Island that has regained its strength, all places, as long as you think about it, yes, just think about it,
You don’t even need to move. With just one order, countless families around the world may be completely bankrupt or even destroyed. This is your ability. Yes, that’s what I want to say.”
Wang Shengxiao looked at the military advisor: "This is your ability, but it is only your ability."
The corners of his mouth rose: "But this is not your right, this is Li Tianlan's right. You have worked hard for most of your life and worked hard, but in the end you can only be a working emperor for others? It sounds very majestic, but
Compared with the Financial Emperor? What does it matter? From the Reincarnation Palace to the East Palace, you are just a part-time worker. I admire your ability, but I also pity you for not having this kind of power."
"It sounds pathetic."
Wang Shengxiao shook his head, picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip of water. Maybe it was because he talked a lot, or maybe the military advisor's expressionless face became more beautiful. In short, he suddenly felt that the pure water in the glass seemed to have become extremely beautiful.
Gantian: "If I were you... I would definitely not be willing to accept it, even if I die."
"What can I do if I don't give in?"
A very strange light flashed across Wang Shengxiao's eyes.
"If you are not willing to do it, of course you have to ask your friends for help."
Wang Shengxiao smiled and said: "I can help you. If you are interested, we can cooperate."
"Be specific."
The military advisor's voice was cold.
"How about the same trick that the Li family played with the Dongcheng family back then? How about your daughter Han Xinyan, let her come to Beihai at the right time, and I will marry her in a formal marriage. She will become the Wang family of Beihai in the future.
Mistress, I will let Xinyan take Tang Shi's place and control all the economic power of Beihai. Then it will not only be me who helps you, but your daughter, my woman, who will help you with Beihai's economic power."
"To help you separate the Shengshi Fund from the East Palace, I will ask Xinyan to give me a child. The child can be named Han and be the heir to the Shengshi Fund. Or, if you are willing, I can let him
The next generation patriarch of the Beihai Wang family."
"As long as you agree, Beihai will do its best to help you get back the Shengshi Fund you created and turn your current abilities into your power. I don't even need to get anything anymore. After success, the Shengshi Fund will be absolutely reliable."
Allies, coupled with the fact that the Eastern Palace has lost its economic power and is seriously injured, this alone is enough to satisfy me."
Wang Shengxiao looked at the military advisor: "So, what do you mean?"
