"Mother, welcome to the Raging Owl Star."
Gu Hang's voice woke Wang Qi from her daze.
She saw Gu Hang walking towards her with open hands.
She subconsciously opened her hands and hugged Gu Hang.
But there was a very strange feeling in her heart.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
The hug between the two was not close, but after a brief contact, Gu Hang let go of his hand.
He introduced to Wang Qi: "This is Fuxing City."
The place where the landing spaceship landed was Fuxing City's airport. There is a place opened up here for a dedicated landing spacecraft to land.
From here, you can see the entire city.
To be honest, Wang Qixin was not impressed by the Fuxing City in front of her. She has been to many worlds, and the urban construction of Fuxing City is just like that in her opinion. Not to mention compared with the capital of the star sector, the Garden World Winged Star, even many second-tier cities on ordinary planets are far more developed than Fuxing City.
However, she did not forget that this was originally a wasteland world.
Now, at least nothing she could see looked like wasteland.
Not pretty, but orderly and neat streets.
All these changes took place in only one and a half years, and were shaped by his own son.
Even the well-informed Ms. Wang Qi has to admit that this is definitely an outstanding performance.
When I think about it, Gu Hang's temperament is completely different from what I remember.
Is this really a career that her good-for-nothing son, who she always resented and felt had insulted her and her late husband's genes, could accomplish?
Wang Qi, who was in a complicated mood, followed Gu Hang onto a Falcon and arrived at the Alliance Building a moment later.
This is the tallest building in Fuxing City, converted from the old Union Parliament Building. Currently, this eight-story building is Gu Hang's official residence and his office.
The top floor is the Parliament Hall, which is currently renamed the Governor's Hall and is dedicated to the alliance for holding large-scale working meetings.
On the same floor, Gu Hang had someone open up another more casual space, which was the governor's office.
Generally speaking, Gu Hang's daily office is here.
Process some documents, think about some things, meet with some people, hold some small-scale secret meetings...
Behind the office are several rooms. Living rooms, bedrooms, cloakrooms, bathrooms, bathrooms... these living-oriented houses were of course designed for Gu Hang.
None of the decorations are lavish. Although everything should be there, it's obvious that Governor Gu doesn't particularly pursue quality, just comfort.
After Wang Qi visited everything under the guidance of her son, she stood in front of the large French window of Gu Hang's office, looking out at the panoramic view of the city, her mind wandering far away.
There are always 'two' sons in her mind.
One is from her memory, and the other is what she sees now.
The son she remembered loved gorgeous things, always wore expensive and complicated clothes, and the place he lived in was always splendid. He liked to use these external things to cover up his inner weakness.
The son in front of her was wearing a decent military uniform, which accentuated his tall and straight figure. He had no other decorations other than that. His residence was also very simple, casual and simple, and even the colors were quite monotonous.
In her memory, her son was cowardly, always full of resentment, always had a good eye but a low hand, had little ability but was conceited.
But what she saw at this moment was a person who was accomplished, yet calm and steady, with dignity and magnanimity.
These two figures appeared in Wang Qi's mind at the same time, but there was no way they could overlap.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Hang's gentle voice sounded nearby, and he walked over with a cup of hot tea in his hand, "I don't have anything good to entertain you here. This was given to me by my cousin when she was here."
He took the hot tea from his son and took a sip, but couldn't care less about the taste of the tea.
She said to Gu Hang, "You didn't like drinking tea before."
"Actually, I don't like drinking it now." Gu Hang smiled, "I just remember that you like it."
"You didn't care about this before."
Gu Hang was silent for a moment and said, "I have changed a lot, haven't I."
"Yes, can you have such earth-shaking changes within two years of training? If I had known, I should have let you train on your own."
"It depends on the timing." Gu Hang said, "I was also surprised by the changes in myself. During the few months I came to the road of Angry Owl Star, I seemed to have figured out a lot of things at once. Maybe, this is something It’s the epiphany mentioned in the legend.”
"Why didn't your epiphany come earlier..."
Gu Hang was very calm: "I think it's just right. If I didn't have such an experience of being discouraged and regaining my fighting spirit, it would be unrealistic to have an epiphany. From this point of view, I still I want to thank you, mother. Before leaving, you slapped me in the face, and after arriving on Raging Owl, the family really did not provide any support at all, and the pressure that if you don't do well as a governor, you will die... there is no such thing , where did the change come from?”
Hearing this, Wang Qi finally felt something familiar: resentment.
In her impression, her son always seemed to be complaining. Complaining that money is not enough, complaining that others are disobedient, complaining that things cannot develop as expected...
Just this familiar feeling made her blood pressure rise a little.
This has always been her biggest disappointment with her son.
"Don't be arrogant when you speak. If you think I or the family are not good enough to you, just say so."
Gu Hang smiled heartily and said, "I don't have any yin and yang evil spirits. Aren't I just telling the truth?"
"Heh, then just say it straight. What do you mean by 'still thanking mother'?"
"Don't get me wrong. The thank you I said was not an irony, but a sincere one."
Now that he has reached this point, Gu Hang's attitude has become more calm.
He stared into his mother's eyes and said seriously:
"First of all, I want to thank you for giving me life in this body. This is the most important thing. Without it, I would not be standing here."
"Secondly, I want to thank my family for my identity. If this were not the case, no matter how dilapidated the Raging Owl Star was, no matter how it was a wasteland world, the position of governor would not fall on me. I will not ignore the benefits brought by my family's identity. help."
"But this is all I can thank you for."
"I came to the Raging Owl Star alone with only a letter of appointment and support from the Imperial Navy. I don't need to thank you and my family for these things. After all, you were so opposed to me becoming the governor in the first place."
"I started from scratch outside the city, in the wilderness. I defeated marauders, destroyed aberrant monsters, and killed resisters. I built factories and cities out of thin air, and regained the original power of this planet. . I shouldn’t need to thank you and my family for this.”
"I wiped out the huge threats that appeared on the planet, from heresies, to green-skinned natural disasters, to demons coming to the world; I led my army to the stars and killed the Orc Fleet Governor; my loyal subordinates, I have driven away the powerful demon Great Unclean One. I also don’t need to thank you and my family for this.”
Hearing this, Wang Qi seemed to have guessed what Gu Hang was going to say, but she still couldn't believe it. No matter how many storms arose in her heart, she just stared at Gu Hang, waiting for his next words.
Gu Hang did not disappoint her, and said calmly and firmly: "Look, I need to thank you, a cup of hot tea, a voice of concern, an army sent to worry about your safety, and a close cooperation with the family caravan in the future. Is that enough? I am using practical actions to express my gratitude, and you will always be my mother."
“But that’s where it ends.”
"There are too many things that I don't need to thank you and your family for in the reconstruction and development of Nu Xiao Xing. Therefore, I think Nu Xiao Xing has little relationship with the Gu family, and my relationship with the Gu family, except for your mother and son, Apart from love, the relationship is not big."
Wang Qi took a deep breath and stared at Gu Hang like a falcon: "Are you going to break away from the Gu family? Don't you want the position of the head of the Gu family too?"
Gu Hang was still calm: "Look, you don't seem to be able to listen to what I said before. The mother-son relationship between me and you will not change. I respect you and love you, but other relationships don't exist in the first place, right? ? Is the development of Raging Owl Star even remotely related to the Gu family? As for the identity of the Gu family leader you mentioned later... that is another matter. You never planned to directly hand over the entire family immediately. Me. On the contrary, if you want to achieve your plan, me being the patriarch is your only choice."
"In other words, Mother, it is you who begged me to be the leader of the clan, not me who wants to be the leader."
Wang Qi gritted her teeth: "This was your previous dream!"
"But it's not the current dream." Gu Hang opened his hands, "I don't want to talk about dreams with you, because it's too big and seems like crazy talk."
Looking at her son who seemed to embrace the entire starry sky in his arms, Ms. Wang Qi was sure that her son had changed, completely changed, and was no longer the person she knew in the past.
This was something she had hoped to happen in her dreams, but when it actually happened, she felt a sense of loss.
But she quickly restrained her inexplicable emotions.
This is definitely a great thing.
After all, she is someone who has been in the business world for decades, and she is someone who can single-handedly guard the things left by her late husband so that they will not be snatched away by her relatives.
She regained her composure.
"No matter what your dream is, becoming the head of the Gu family will bring you all the benefits without any harm."
"Of course, I completely agree, so I have no objection to your plan. In order to ensure that there are no problems with the plan and to ensure your safety, I also sent the army."
"Then just be your governor of the Raging Owl Star. Your identity as the head of the Gu family will remain with you. You can attend some meetings when necessary. You don't have to worry about other things."
"This is best." Gu Hang said, "It's just that, as the head of the Gu family, I can do nothing, but in theory, it is reasonable to use some family resources for the development of my planet."
"Didn't you say that Angry Owl Star has nothing to do with the Gu family?"
"Indeed, but the head of the Gu family should have this power. This is what I deserve."
What he said meant something.
I am the nominal head of the family for you so that you can manage things, but you are not allowed to pay me?
Of course Wang Qi can understand it.
She sighed and reached out to touch her son's handsome face: "All of this will eventually belong to you..."
"Yes, I believe it." No matter what he thinks in his heart, Gu Hang will always say this. "You can give it to you whenever you want. I won't take it. I only take what I deserve. Never too much.”
"It's not too much." Wang Qi retracted her hand, "Your cousin will lead a caravan again. If you have any trade needs, please contact her. After you build the star port, the Gu's caravan will bring the angry owl Stars are regular trade routes; Gu's caravan will give Nuo Xiao Star the most favorable treatment as a trading partner; you have the power of the head of the family, and you can use the personal amount of five million tax coins every year. I will not interfere with the use of this money. Where. However, if this money has a good return on investment, the related fund amount can be increased."
Gu Hang's eyes really lit up now.
Not to mention anything else, the five million tax coins this year is a huge benefit!
The tax that Raging Owl Star has to pay in a year is only so much!
He now confirmed that this was really his mother!
My mother said, "Come on, have lunch with me. I'll have a look at your territory in the afternoon."
…
The lunch was very sumptuous, with a lot of precious ingredients and fine wines that were not even produced in the Raging Owl Star.
Gu Hang could recall that basically all the food was what his predecessor liked to eat.
During dinner, mother and son chatted some more.
It wasn't just small talk, they didn't have that many topics to talk about, they mainly revolved around the family situation.
Gu Hang provided some insights.
After the meal, I left the cook and a cabin of ingredients for him, hoping that he would have something good to eat in the future.
It will take a certain amount of time to board the ship for the 30,000 soldiers who left with the mother.
While the army was boarding the ship, Gu Hang took Ms. Wang Qi to visit the factory in Wei Xingcheng, and took Jason Morgan, the provincial head, with him on a Wind Falcon and quickly headed to Beiqinggu Province. Flying low over large fields.
All these things on the angry owl star made Ms. Wang Qi's eyes filled with excitement.
If seeing the orderly appearance of Fuxing City before made her feel reassured, then seeing Wei Xing City's small but solid factory that continuously produces industrial products and arms; After seeing the 200 million acres of farmland that had been or was about to be reclaimed in Beiqinggu Province, just the consciousness of a businessman allowed her to quickly calculate that the Raging Star had huge potential.
In addition to the businessman's investment awareness, a more instinctive emotion surged into his heart involuntarily:
pride!
Although her son had said a lot of nonsense earlier that had nothing to do with her or the Gu family, but... that was her son! When she looked at these achievements, it was natural for her to do so.
Her son had changed, for the better.
