400 Wang Zixuan appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs

After a long daze, Wang Jianguo swallowed hard and asked curiously, "Son, you've set up such a large chessboard. What exactly are you trying to do?"

If an outsider had heard what Shaojun just said, they would have definitely said his brain was fried.

But they wouldn't think that, because they had experienced it personally.

Looking back now, no wonder Atlantis was so polite to them.

Wait...

Suddenly, Wang Jianguo seemed to think of something. If Atlantis was one of their own, then were the events in Cambodia all masterminded by his son?

If that was really the case, then wouldn't the current Cambodia be...

As this thought emerged, he abruptly looked up at Shaojun, the expression on his face as terrified as if he had seen a ghost.

Had their Wang family taken control of a country?

Recalling Shaojun's words, was he after... the entire Southeast Asia?

Shaojun did not answer his question directly, only saying faintly, "What am I trying to do? I just want security, that's all.

Heavenly Palace Group's current scale has made it a piece of fat in many people's eyes. I'm just planning ahead and finding a way out for the Wang family in advance.

So when things happen, we won't be caught in a panic."

Wang Jianguo and the other person fell silent; they needed to digest the amount of information in Shaojun's words.

Seeing their silence, Shaojun didn't speak again. He picked up his teacup and drained the tea in one gulp.

Then he stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, reached for some fish feed, and scattered a handful into the lake.

The koi that were wandering around a second ago swarmed over the next instant.

Even the arapaima in the lake began to surface one after another. The Flying Sword Fish habitually leapt out of the water, giving Shaojun an impromptu performance.

Looking at the surfacing Left Shark, this fellow was still the lake's overlord. Although it grew slowly, it was much larger than before.

Just then, a small black snake crawled out of his sleeve. The little snake raised its head and flicked its tongue at him.

"Master, I'm going down for a bath. I'll come back to find you tonight."

A childish voice rang out in Shaojun's mind. Hearing this, he reached out to stroke the black snake's head and said softly, "Go on!"

After the black snake entered the lake, Wang Jianguo's voice came from behind him.

"Shaojun, regarding those positions Laos gave us, who do you plan to appoint?"

Hearing this, Shaojun scattered the remaining fish feed into the lake and turned back to sit in his original place. "I'll appoint professionals for the others. As for the position of Foreign Minister...

Didn't Surisi say he wanted someone from our Wang family to hold it? Then as he wishes, let Zixuan take the post temporarily for now, so he can gain some experience.

After all, a place like the United Nations can really nurture people. We'll see how it goes then. If it works out, we'll let Yuxin and the others take turns holding the office."

If Wang Zixuan knew he had muddled his way into becoming a country's Foreign Minister, one wonders what his expression would be.

Good grief, a Foreign Minister who hasn't even graduated from university—that's probably the only one of its kind throughout history.

It was hard to imagine what everyone's expressions would be like when he appeared at the UN General Assembly; it would surely be spectacular.

Wang Jianguo and the other were very satisfied with Shaojun's arrangement. Having Wang Zixuan serve as Foreign Minister was a good idea. Since it was a sinecure anyway, it could be treated as training for him.

"Alright, we'll do as you say." He then changed the subject. "There are only a few days left until New Year's Eve. When do we plan to return to South of the Ranges?

I haven't sent anyone back to tidy up the old home yet. We need to go back a few days early. After all, the New Year is all about the atmosphere, and many things need to be prepared."

However, he didn't know that Shaojun had sent people back long ago. After all, the house in their hometown couldn't possibly accommodate so many people; a new one needed to be built.

"Dad, you don't need to worry about that. I've already sent people back. But we do need to return early because there's quite a lot to do in the hometown.

I expect there are many leaders there who want to see me now. Tomorrow, then. We'll head back to South of the Ranges tomorrow morning. I haven't been back in a long time either."

Wang Jianguo was unaware of the plot of land the Li family had gifted, so hearing this, he thought the hometown leaders wanted them to return and invest.

"Good, I'll have your mother and your second aunt pack up in a bit. We'll head back first thing tomorrow morning."

The group then continued chatting in the pavilion.

Meanwhile, far away in Yangcheng!

The Xiao family!

Inside a three-story building, Xiao Yulong had already been back for several days.

He discovered a very bad thing: his younger sister would sometimes hold her phone, chatting with someone unknown and giggling from time to time.

At first, he didn't pay much attention, thinking she was just gossiping with her best friend.

But just now, a man's voice came from her phone.

He immediately realized he had been wrong. She wasn't gossiping with a girlfriend; she was talking to a guy.

Combined with her occasional silly smiles, how could he not know? His sister was in love.

It wasn't that he was afraid of her dating, but rather that he was afraid she would meet some delinquent.

"Big Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"

Seeing him dazed, Dai Weiwei couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nothing. It seems Xiao An Yi is in a relationship."

"Ah! Isn't that normal? Xiao An Yi isn't a child anymore."

"Yeah, I'm not against her dating, I'm just afraid of her getting cheated. Do you know who the guy is?"

"Hmm~ I don't know. She hasn't mentioned this to me these past few days. Do you want me to have someone look into it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yulong hurriedly spoke up to stop her. "No need. This isn't like being abroad. Find an opportunity to sound her out and see who her boyfriend is."

"Okay, no problem. You know my methods."

Hearing this, Xiao Yulong's scalp tingled. "Hey, hey, hey~ You can't go overboard. That's my biological sister."

Clearly, he had misunderstood Dai Weiwei's meaning.

However, given Dai Weiwei's identity, it was indeed hard not to think in that direction when she said such things.

"Big Brother Xiao, where are your thoughts going? I meant infiltrating the ene—ptui~ no, I mean getting closer to Xiao An Yi so we can share secrets."

However, what they didn't know was that while they were focusing on Xiao An Yi, she was also quietly watching them.

Sitting on the sofa chatting with Wang Zixuan, she glanced toward Dai Weiwei and the others.

She typed quickly on the chat screen.

"Zixuan, my brother is back, and he even brought back a foreign girlfriend. But after observing him these past few days, I've found he's changed a lot—I almost can't recognize him.

He also brought back a lot of money, has many injuries on his body, and has become much more alert. Do you think my brother was doing something illegal abroad? If he committed crimes outside, he won't get in trouble now that he's back home, right?"
