A Few Sons

In the dimly lit room, Magulana Province's Provincial Governor Degra was lying on a recliner, and two girls in their twenties were relaxing his back muscles for him.

In order to enable himself to live longer and hold power longer, he spent a lot of money to invite some well-known doctors from Sedolas ① and other areas to serve as his personal health consultants to take care of his body.

His health consultants told him that his long periods of sitting had caused serious damage to his spine and back, so he needed physical therapy every day to relax his muscles and fascia by pushing, kneading, kneading, and pinching to improve some of his current back pain.

This was probably the most carefree moment of his day. The strength of the two girls was just right, making him feel a little sleepy.

"Master..."

Just when he was about to fall asleep, the sound coming from outside the door dispelled Drag's just-rising sleepiness, which made him a little annoyed. A wave of irritation rose up, but it quickly calmed down.

He opened his eyes and raised his hands. The girl who was working hard to relax the muscles in his back stopped what she was doing, stood aside, and helped him put on a home robe.

But even if it's just a robe for home, it's still very luxurious.

When he walked to the door, the housekeeper bent down and said, "Master, the young masters are here..."

He was even more unhappy to hear that it was those good-for-nothing sons who had disturbed his moment of relaxation.

The housekeeper knows that this time of day is the most relaxing time for Provincial Governor. If Provincial Governor's useless sons didn't insist on him coming, he would probably have people wait until Provincial Governor finishes doing this, or after he wakes up.

It's just that the housekeeper can't refuse the requests of those young masters. No matter how long he has stayed in this family, no matter how much the master of the family trusts him, he is just a servant. He will never be Provincial Governor's relative, even though he can do things that Provincial Governor's relatives can't do.

There is no blood connection, no matter how trusting or close they are, it will all be fake in the end, so he has to come.

Fortunately, Provincial Governor is not the kind of person who likes to express his anger on others. When he knew who interrupted his rest, his calm anger rose again, but this time, he slightly changed the way he expressed his anger.

When he walked into the study, he already knew the general outline of the matter from the butler's mouth. When he sat down, the eldest son was stopped by his look as he was about to speak.

After the butler brought pastries and light tea to Provincial Governor, he ate the pastries leisurely and sipped the less sweet tea. It was not until more than ten minutes later that he nodded with satisfaction.

"Today's snacks taste good!"

The butler leaned slightly, "The cook said he made it based on some popular foreign styles, and he was very worried about this."

Provincial Governor nodded with satisfaction, "Give him a reward. We need people who are motivated and know how to use their brains."

The butler bent over and nodded, cleared the table and left. As the study door closed, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become a little depressing.

He looked at these sons who had been standing for more than ten minutes. Except for the eldest and second child, who could still maintain a relatively elevated posture, the remaining three losers were already moving around. If it weren't for his majesty at home that prevented this son from messing around, they might have been lying on the sofa and enjoying the food and drinks brought by the housekeeper.

The more you look at it, the more dissatisfied you feel. This is also an emotion shared by most capable people, because these people themselves are much better than ordinary people in all aspects, so they have a feeling of contempt for those who are not as good as themselves.

Even if this is their child, even because of their blood relationship, Provincial Governor will treat them a little worse than others.

At least when facing strangers or outsiders, he has to pretend to make himself look friendly and praiseworthy. When facing these people, he shows more of his true face.

"Tell me, what's the matter..." In fact, he already knew what happened, but he still had to ask again. What these bastards said might be different from what the butler said.

No, it is definitely different. This is also Provincial Governor's experience as a ruler in the ruling class for so many years.

Everyone will have different attitudes and positions due to interests and reasons, and the content they express will also change accordingly.

As a superior, it is important to listen without bias.

Several children talked about what happened. Provincial Governor did not immediately express his position. Instead, he looked at the children and said, "Tell me what you think..." After he finished speaking, he added, "Start with the boss."

"I think I can give it to him!" The boss was the boss after all, and his words were astonishing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Provincial Governor's eyelids jumped. If he hadn't started cultivating his character now that he was older (cultivating a peaceful mind to better integrate into nature, and adjusting his soul and body to a suitable state from the inside out in a balanced way), he would have wanted to grab something and throw it at him right now.

Lin Qi is not simple. In fact, Provincial Governor has been very clear from the beginning. He is only 21 years old and a young man with no official background. In a society like Federal, which is extremely competitive, he can quickly accumulate huge wealth. This is not something that a simple person can do.

Even in Nagaril, a closed society with little competitiveness, it is not easy for the descendants of the ruling class to become independent, which is enough to prove how difficult it is for Lin Qi to reach the point where he is now.

Opportunity, luck, and personal ability are all indispensable. Will such a person be easy to manipulate? To be honest, Provincial Governor himself did not expect that things would develop to this point. He knew that his children had caused a problem for Lin Qi. He thought that Lin Qi would solve this dilemma in some way, such as joining a certain interest group or even directly talking to himself.

As long as he becomes Provincial Governor's own partner, Mishe Haye's little characters won't dare to offend him too much, and those things that make things difficult for him will naturally disappear.

Of course, if he wants to take refuge in Provincial Governor, he will have to pay a price, but compared to other solutions, this solution is the most suitable one for Provincial Governor.

But Lin Qi didn't choose. He didn't choose anything Provincial Governor could think of. He chose the most surprising way to not only resolve the crisis, but instead threw the problem on himself.

Is this problem easy to solve?

In fact, it is not easy to solve. If you agree to his request, Magulana Province's future domestic and foreign trade will be in the hands of Lin Qi. There is no doubt about the importance of financial power. Once he grabs Magulana Province's throat, the trouble will only get bigger and bigger.

But if you don't agree, it's not easy to solve. Lin Qi agreed to their request, but they couldn't agree to Lin Qi's request. This matter will spread soon, Mishe Haye will be embarrassed, Provincial Governor's sons will be embarrassed, and even Provincial Governor himself will be embarrassed.

He originally wanted to hear if the children had any unexpected ideas, but he didn't expect that he would give himself a shot as soon as they came up.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, suppressed his anger, raised his eyes and glanced at his eldest son, "Continue."

The eldest son continued with a bit of pride on his face, "What we promised him now is just to perfunctory him. For these benefits, he will pay more attention to the investment in Nagaril. We can influence some of his ideas."

"Some of the things we need, such as heavy industry factories, some technologies, and some metal formulas, can be obtained from Bayer Federation through Lin Qi."

"After we get everything we need, we just need to find a reason to abandon the previous agreement, and then find a reason to arrest him!"

Provincial Governor glanced at the eldest son, and his level of caution against him increased by another level.

He didn't know if the "reason" the bastard mentioned for scrapping the agreement was the change of the person exercising Provincial Governor's power, that is, his abdication, but he would think this way.

In fact, he also knows that the better his health is, the more irritable his sons will be. The longer he holds power, the shorter the time these sons will hold power.

If possible, they would probably be happy to die suddenly. This is a very normal thought and emotion. He doesn't blame these children. He had similar thoughts before. His father said he was tired every day and was so tired. Why not give him the power and let his young and strong self help him solve his troubles.

But if you understand, you still need to be careful.

He put down the tea cup and chuckled lightly, "Where's the second brother? What do you think, second brother?"

All five children could hear their dissatisfaction with the boss from Provincial Governor's laughter. Compared to the boss's cold face, the other four brothers all had a lot of smiles on their faces.

The second child chuckled, "Father, my ideas are similar to those of the eldest brother, but there are some differences..."

The eldest son looked at his younger brother beside him and smiled with a smile on his face.

Provincial Governor frowned, "Say!"

The second brother seemed not to notice the ugly expression on the boss's face, and began to say his thoughts, "My idea is similar to the big brother's in the front, but there are some differences in the back. We can find a way to make Lin Qi fight with other businessmen."

"These foreign businessmen have made a lot of money from us over the years, no, it should be a lot of money, but they have never been grateful, and sometimes they often refuse our requests."

"We can let Lin Qi fight them. When the fight is almost over, or when we need to intervene, we can terminate some of the previous agreements with them and drive them out."

"No one can accuse us. They have indeed messed up society. What we do is reasonable and legal!"
