Chapter 1892: Chapter 171: The Gathering Storm! Shouzhe’s Ambition_3
After appeasing Mr. Bear, Wang Shouzhe looked at Wang Zongteng with a complex expression.
Who would have thought that in just three short days, this kid Zongteng had already caused a bunch of trouble, damaging building structures, robbing classmates of their Spirit Stones, and if not stopped in ti, he was prepared to swallow the Spirit Veins under the junior class.
Although among the various Spirit Plants of the family, Wang Zongteng’s strength is not worth ntioning, only at Level Three, equivalent to the Early Stage of the Spirit Platform Realm for humans, in the sea of little guys in the junior classroom, his cultivation base already allows him to walk sideways.
Not to ntion he is a half True Demon Vine, with an advantage in bloodline, his actual combat power is far higher than Level Three.
He must be disciplined, cannot let him develop such an unruly character. But exactly how to discipline him requires so skill.
After a brief discussion, Wang Shouzhe and his wife called Wang Lilong over and gave her a direct severe beating.
Firstly, this was to punish her for causing trouble just after entering the High Clan School, and secondly, to bla her for not looking after her younger brother.
Wang Lilong was beaten to tears, wailing and crying non-stop. In the end, it started pouring rain directly in the yard.
Seeing that the yard was about to flood, Wang Lilong’s attitude of admitting mistakes (begging for rcy) was sincere, so the couple stopped.
It was the first ti Wang Zongteng saw such a scene, and he was imdiately frightened by this act of using a chicken as a warning to monkeys, becoming unusually well-behaved, promising to never cause trouble again.
After handling the family matters.
Only then did Wang Shouzhe have the leisure to entertain Emperor Zi’an, who was lingering around.
“Your Highness~” Wang Shouzhe poured him tea without any flattery, “You hang around my Wang family all day long, what about national construction? There are countless matters waiting for you to handle at the court.”
“That’s why I sent Shi Zhao back first.” Emperor Zi’an looked ready to settle permanently in the Wang family, “Fear not, Shouzhe, Shi Zhao’s comprehensive abilities are very strong and he is extrely cautious, very suitable for handling trivial matters aside from major strategies.”
“…” Wang Shouzhe glanced at him without kindness, “Shi Zhao and Yurou just reunited a few days ago, I was counting on them to have a couple more children.”
“That depends on whether you’re capable or not.” Emperor Zi’an chuckled and said, “Talent, just give enough talent, and I’ll promptly roll back to Return to Dragon City and give Shi Zhao a six-month vacation.”
“I’ve lifted the restrictions and allowed you to recruit in the Wang Family School. Your Highness is still not satisfied?” Wang Shouzhe looked disdainful.
“Satisfied? After all our efforts, we only managed to recruit a few kittens, and not one top-tier elite talent is willing to join us.” Talking about this matter made Emperor Zi’an angry, muttering complaints, “It’s one thing to compete with the Wang family’s various industries for talents, but even that rich boy Fugui is a contender!”
There’s another thing he was too embarrassed to say, which is that the Daqian Court simply couldn’t compete with Wang Fugui.
“Talent is scarce, and also a precious resource,” Wang Shouzhe suggested, “How about I open up so enrollnt slots for you, and organize a few training courses?”
“I would have brought up the forr, but distant water can’t quench present thirst. As for the latter, what use is training? The exceptional graduates of the Wang’s Higher Clan School are most outstanding for their comprehensive thinking and knowledge, their ability to solve various dilemmas, and with a bit of adaptation, can handle responsibilities independently.”
Emperor Zi’an’s tone was indignant, but his expression was one of envy, jealousy, and hatred: “If you were willing to give the graduates of Wang Family School, I am confident in surpassing the power of the Immortal Dynasty in this lifeti.”
“Your Highness, don’t dream too beautifully,” Wang Shouzhe splashed him with a cold bucket of reality, “Just picking the peach without planting trees, Daqian will never beco strong.”
Why did he vigorously develop the Clan School, spending decades or even hundreds of years to establish and perfect the Clan School system? Wasn’t it just for the current abundance of talents?
“I don’t care, I need talents now.” Emperor Zi’an adopted a rogue stance, “If you can’t provide them, then how about you arrange for that child Xuanwei to marry my family’s Shengjun. Back then, my family had two Commandery Princesses marry Anye, isn’t it reasonable for you to marry a direct daughter into our Imperial Household?”
“Is that my problem? Didn’t I help organize the matchmaking?” Wang Shouzhe glared at him, “Wasn’t it Shengjun that ssed it up? My Xuanwei is a literary young woman, says she enjoys reading, and your kid starts talking about pulp fiction and knock-off novels! Xuanwei says she enjoys classical dramas, and he’s taking her to watch slapstick codies.”
“At his age, he’s less skilled in dating than Wang Fugui.”
Even for marriages among Prominent Families, it requires mutual willingness, at least both parties need to feel they can get along to proceed to the next step. Even for childhood betrothals like Wang Anye and Xu Pingting, it was due to being childhood sweethearts and getting along harmoniously before they officially engaged and married. If they truly couldn’t get along, breaking up was entirely possible.
With values and interests poles apart, how can they spend a lifeti together?
“So, is there still hope for Shengjun?” Emperor Zi’an asked expectantly, “I really like that child Xuanwei and especially wish for her to beco a Princess Consort of our family.”
“Let’s discuss the talent issue instead.” Wang Shouzhe quickly shifted the topic, “Last ti I heard from Anyuan and Ningyu that the cooperation with Sheng Commandery Prince was quite pleasant, and their personalities were compatible. How about I allocate these two high-end talents to the court?”
