Chapter 286: Chapter 269 - Man in the world (Fourth update! Added for 'Half awake, half drunk0' Hall master!)



'Boss'? Too rural, too low-grade, just like being part of a gang. It's okay for some of my brothers around to call me that, but to have all my subordinates call me that is like, lowering my standard for no reason!

General? Commander? Chairman? Leader?

Lin Yun ruled out each one.

In the end, Lin Yun found that the title 'king' seemed rather nice.

"King it is, then..." Lin Yun said with a wry smile.

"I agree. It's a good title. When our power gets stronger, we can upgrade your title to emperor..." At this point, Zhao Gang had returned and said with a laugh.

"Alright! When that time comes, I'll make you a king. From now on, you can start thinking about what title you want, like King Lanling, or the King of Yizibing..."

Lin Yun joked.

"Well, I'll have to thank you in advance then." Zhao Gang responded with a chuckle, pretending to kneel and salute Lin Yun.

Truthfully, when they discussed this issue, Zhao Gang was quite stirred.

Becoming a king... that truly was a great honor. The old saying goes, 'a man should seek official titles, noble ranks, and become a lord over ten thousand households.' This saying has led many men to die on the battlefield.

For a man, this was a great temptation.

After witnessing Lin Yun's miracle and hearing about the power of top martial artists, Zhao Gang had no doubt about Lin Yun's future prospects.

With this in mind, he really could be dubbed a king.

"I want to be a princess, I want to be a princess!" Watching the previous conversation, Lin Duoer and Xia Xiaotian were still in awe. Hearing the dialogue between Lin Yun and Zhao Gang, Lin Duoer immediately exclaimed excitedly.

If men all dream of becoming nobility and lords over tens of thousands households, then many girls also have the dream of becoming princesses.

"Okay! Let Duoer be a princess. From here on out, you are Princess Duoer!" Lin Yun laughed.

Listening to the conversation between Lin Yun and Lin Duoer, Xia Xiaotian's eyes sparkled.

Lin Yun was his brother-in-law. If Lin Yun became king, then his sister would be the queen, right?

If Lin Yun became the emperor, then his sister would be the empress?

Then wouldn't that make him royalty?

However, Xia Xiaotian didn't let this go to his head. Instead, he made a vow to train hard, work diligently, and establish a reputation for himself as a commendable relative of the emperor.

Ah, boys of this age all tend to have high aspirations.

After giving some encouraging words to the youngsters, and arranging the training for Lin Duoer and Xia Xiaotian, Lin Yun and Zhao Gang set out to inspect the construction situation of the buildings.

Soon, Zhao Gang was blown away again.

They had only been gone for a short while, and the construction robots had already made such remarkable achievements?

Previously, the progress made by the construction robots when laying the foundation and making the building materials was not very noticeable, but when those segments were completed, their efficiency really stood out.

Just in the span of about thirty minutes after they left, a 10,000 square meter area not only had its foundation laid but also an underground basement had been constructed.

"Their speed is just... too fast…" Zhao Gang was taken aback.

"It's okay, this time for construction, I used more construction robots. This is not traditional construction, there is no need for bricklaying and such." Lin Yun said with a smile.

He had seen with his own eyes how in just ten plus minutes, thirty construction robots built a row of exquisite homes. Twenty robots can complete two to three levels in a day on a 300,000 square meter area.

Compared to this, 60 robots working together to lay a foundation and build an underground basement on a 10,000 square meter area in just thirty minutes isn't a big deal.

Not only was the construction completed, but it was also decorated.

There were several construction robots specifically focused on decor.

By the time Zhao Gang and Lin Yun made it to the basement, and saw how it was already constructed and decorated, he was shocked all over again.

The decor was not just hastily done; Zhao Gang had seen Lin Yun's Qingyun Hotel, and the decor here, although not as luxurious, did not fall short. It was simply another style.

It was very grand, natural, and comfortable. It was clear from the air circulation and temperature settings that it did not feel like a basement or even inside a building at all.

In addition to this, some simple training equipment was already placed.

Fortunately, having witnessed Lin Yun's previous miracle, Zhao Gang quickly accepted these surprising facts.

"If we were in the construction industry, wouldn't our speed put other construction companies out of business?" mused Zhao Gang.

"That's what I thought at first too." Lin Yun laughed.

"In our era, housing is like a mountain on the shoulders of so many young people. It's crushed many families, and even caused many couples to break up over a single house..." Zhao Gang said with a complex expression.

If he had had a decent house back then, he might not have broken up with Zhang Hui.

"How should I put it? While I agree with your first two points, the last one isn't true. It's not the house that caused the breakup, but the class difference, their hearts... a heart that is bent on climbing the social ladder, a heart full of vanity... now in Huaxia during peacetime, generally there is no starvation, no homelessness, no freezing because of lack of clothes.

Then why are some couples breaking up?" Lin Yun shook his head.

"Wherever there are people, there are societal rules! Class exists in every era! People are never satisfied, they don't want to fall behind, they always want to compare with others. These are all understandable. Love can overcome everything... a breakup only means the love was not strong enough!" Lin Yun stated calmly.

In fact, it wasn't as serious as he had made it sound. Love can endure everything... but how many people can really achieve that kind of encompassing love throughout the ages?

There are many other factors involved in couples breaking up!

However, since Zhao Gang had put Zhang Hui behind him, Lin Yun didn't want him to fall back into his past from time to time. This was not good for Zhao Gang's mental state. People always need to look forward!

A breakup only means the love was not strong enough!

Hearing Lin Yun say this, Zhao Gang's face paled slightly.

Yes, although his conditions were not good, there were many people who had it worse than him and yet, their wives were excellent and their marriages were loving. So why couldn't he have that too?

Because Zhang Hui's love for him wasn't strong enough!

This fact was very harsh!

"Speaking of which, it occurs to me, do you have feelings for Qi Weiwei?" As if remembering something, Lin Yun suddenly asked.

"Boss..."

Hearing Lin Yun's words, Zhao Gang smirked.

Didn't that change the subject a little too quickly… It had barely been a moment since he had been deeply emotionally hurt... and now he was being asked about another emotional issue!

However, at the same time, his heart tingled slightly. He wasn't sure why Lin Yun was asking this, nor did he know what Lin Yun's attitude towards Qi Weiwei was.

Although Lin Yun was already with Xia Qingqing, with Lin Yun's current achievements, having a second woman was not impossible.

"Don't be shy, tell the truth!" At this moment, Lin Yun laughed.

"Boss, do you... have feelings for her...?" Thinking about it, Zhao Gang hesitantly asked.

If Lin Yun had feelings for Qi Weiwei, then he would kill any romantic feelings for her now, before they had a chance to grow. A friend's wife should not be desired, and this was especially true for the Boss's wife.
