There was no doubt that the advent of the formula of the Grand Unification of Forces would induce an explosive development in the field of technology. For industries, production technology and techniques would change drastically, and production efficiencies would improve by a few or several times. In terms of energy, there would be unlimited amounts of energy. Military-wise, the development of more advanced, higher combat power D cla.s.s, C cla.s.s, B cla.s.s, or even A cla.s.s interstellar battles.h.i.+ps would be made possible. The resources, technical reserves, and military might in Chen Jin’s hands would increase explosively. The Environmental Transformation Plan on planet Haierfa that Nuwa was in charge of would also definitely be accelerated by a certain margin.
Most importantly, Chen Jin would have what it takes to protect himself and his own benefits!
“As long I develop strong enough, whether it is mysterious aliens, remnants of the humans that might still return, or other forces, they will never get to harm my benefits or get anything from me! I’m the king in my domain! Planet Haierfa and this whole star system is mine, I’m the master of this plain!” Chen Jin’s vision was not just limited to the small planet Haierfa. The border of the universe was infinitely vast! With powers strong enough at hand, Chen Jin would still expand his area of influence.
However… this required manpower. Manpower, in abundance. Manpower that he could trust wholly and not worry about them betraying him. Without manpower, what was the meaning of him occupying more planets? Could he take care of all of them alone? Adding up with Chen Jin’s wild desires, if he were to be strong enough, he would definitely deploy a fleet towards the sea of stars, maneuvering towards the path of expansion… The total resources of the universe were constant, if he did not expand, the others would. If he did not try to annex more resources, he could be drowned by huge enemy fleets in the future. Therefore, expansion had become a defensive measure… doom awaited if he did not expand.
In conclusion, he needed manpower!
Having thought about this, Chen Jin nodded his head slowly and quietly said, “It seems that some things are… inevitable.”
…
In Pudong Area, Junting Grand Court, Villa 8, on a large double bed in a bedroom, a man and a woman spent three days in ridiculous pleasure. They tried all kinds of postures, swapped all kinds of settingsm and were in extreme felicity.
Another delightful skirmish had ended, and the woman, whose face was glowing, lay in the arms of the man while she habitually drew circles on his chest. “Honey, my mom knows about us. She had planned to bring me around to visit relatives these past few days, but she didn’t because she saw us together,” the woman said shyly. She could not forget the look her mom gave her when she told her that she would not be sleeping at home for a few days. In her mother’s eyes, there was a small bit of resignation and disappointment, but more of it was support and encouragement. She even urged her to take care of her safety and not indulge herself too deeply. Girls better be more reserved. Yuan Lin only nodded her head while blus.h.i.+ng.
“You mean the director? Your mom is quite a nice person, she helped me a lot during my company’s early stages.” The director floated across Chen Jin’s thoughts. He did not expect that he would sleep with the director’s daughter. Therefore, he was a little embarra.s.sed to meet the director face to face again. He did not visit her personally to express his grat.i.tude, but instead merely gifted her a deluxe edition Bang Bang robot, which Yuan Li received on her behalf. This was considered as his grat.i.tude towards the director that once aided him. Of course, with his current net worth and status, the director would not say anything about him even if he did not pay her a new year’s visit.
Upon hearing his words, Yuan Lin felt a buzz in her heart. She could not hold back and said, “Honey, I think that… we both suit each other quite a lot. The environment we grew up in was more or less the same. My mum and your mum are both civil servants and have good relations in private, and our families know each other quite well. I asked your mum last time and she said that as long as we both have good feelings towards each other, she’ll support us being together.” She wiggled her body on the man and asked him with the tone of a pampered child, “Honey, could it be that you don’t like me at all?”
“Of course I like you.” Chen Jin nodded his head. “But not to the extent that I’ll marry you.” Looking at the woman’s aggrieved expression and her eyes that were filled with resentment, he explained, “Marriage is too much of a sacred thing, it is a solemn vow, a contract that you couldn’t go back against… I can’t keep such a serious charter and the obligations that come along with it.” This high-sounding discourse was implementing that Chen Jin did not want to be restricted by marriage.
“So… you don’t wish to get married?” Yuan Lin asked. She understood what the man meant.
“Yes.” Chen Jin nodded. “Marriage is very troublesome. Conflict is bound to happen even between two people with the best personalities. Some research has shown that men are more rational, while woman are more emotional, men’s and women’s way of thinking is very different… so conflict is unavoidable. It requires a lengthy phase-in period for both to get used to each other. But I’m certain that you won’t be able to get used to me. Don’t be fooled by my looks, I’m actually quite a playboy, you definitely can’t tolerate this part of me.”
Playboy?
Yuan Lin gave him a weird look. “I’ve never seen you with another woman, why do you say that you’re a playboy?”
“Would I let you see me while I’m playing?” Chen Jin said calmly, “You have no idea what kind of man I am. Do you think that I only have one intimate female partner? Stop kidding. What I have in my sight is a whole field of flowers. I’ve researched on some middle east cultures. I realized that a whole lot of men over there have two wives, or even four. Some primitive tribal chiefs in Africa have one to two hundred wives and still live in bliss and harmony… it can be seen that family happiness is defined by economic foundation, not the number of wives.” Upon seeing the woman who was biting her lip with eyes filled with shock, he continued, “I know that you won’t like to listen to all this, and you couldn’t accept it either. But I’m as weird as I am. For me, one woman will definitely not be enough. Besides, I’m a believer that more sons mean more blessings, one or two will not be enough, I want at least 10! Can you take on such a difficult task?”
Yuan Lin’s brain was buzzing. The man’s remarks were even weirder than his first “Mommy’s boy” talk… it was completely the traditional idea that existed one or two centuries ago. She could not accept this. She had the urge to flee the place immediately! But for unknown reasons, she did not scram. On the contrary, she said while grinding her teeth, “10? I could make them.” She screamed in her heart, All out!
“Sure, but I will not give you a t.i.tle for the time being. You’ll first need to make a few and prove your worth.” His tone sounded like a sc.u.mbag who felt quite justified in his words.
Yuan Lin remained silent. She crawled down from the man’s body, snuggled into the blanket, and went to sleep with her back facing the man.
…
Early the next morning, Yuan Lin said she wanted to leave, so Chen Jin let his guard robot to drive her home. He did not forget to remind her before the car started, “Yuan Li, do think about it when you go back, I’m dead serious about this, I hope you can understand.”
Yuan Lin remained silent.
Looking at the rear of the car that was getting farther and farther away, Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders. A sc.u.m he would be, then. Being open and honest was still better than pretending and being hypocritical. As for whether Yuan Lin could accept it or not and whether she would comply, he dared not confirm and was not sure about it either. It would be great if she could accept it. If she couldn’t, he merely lost a friend with benefits. It was not worth it for him to be worried about it.
At that moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Someone was calling. He took out his phone and checked the caller ID. The caller was s.h.i.+ Xiao Tao. “Mr. Chen, I’ve already departed. I’ll reach Shang Hai in around two hours. Let’s meet first and go to the Peeza Star Charity Night together.”
It turned out to be the top charity event in the Z nation. The 19th Peeza Star Charity Night would be held that night in a theater in Shang Hai. By then, all the celebrities and moguls across the whole nation would be a.s.sembled to give out donations and express their kind hearts.
Chen Jin was no man from the entertainment industry, and moreover, a celebrity. By all means, he should not have any affiliation with this charity night. But as the “Wa-wah robot” movie was a production supported by Xing Hai Technologies, he had somewhat made some connections with the entertainment industry and was thus listed among the invited. Besides, being an important guest for the charity night, s.h.i.+ Xiao Tao who was almost becoming a “Two Billion Dollar Director” needed a male partner. So, she invited Chen Jin.
“Sure, I’ll wait for you at my villa.” Chen Jin nodded his head. After he hung up the call, he sent an address to s.h.i.+ Xiao Tao
