Chapter 150: Chapter 148: The Meeting that Changed the World (Part 1)
Late at night, Wei Tianyang returned to the corridor of Jade Pavilion and saw the door to the room ajar, with Yaha’s giggling resonating from inside.
This was Lingxiao Palace, located directly beneath the residence of the Emperor of Yin Country, arguably the safest place in Yin Country. Wei Tianyang wasn’t worried about bandits entering, but he couldn’t prevent the Emperor from sending people to bother him.
He hurried to the door and saw the key secretary wearing a purple chiffon nightgown, sitting on the bed romping with Yaha.
At that moment, she looked utterly different from her usual intellectual and aloof demeanor, hair slightly curled and cascading over her shoulders, eyes laced with enticing light purple eyeshadow, a touch of gold powder on her face, gazing flirtatiously and giggling at Yaha, her ample bosom partly visible like wiggling jelly. Any other man might have lost control and leaped onto the bed to grope her enthusiastically.
"Hey! Who let you in?!" Wei Tianyang burst into the room, angrily saying.
The key secretary, prepared for this, hugged Yaha and laughed, "Your friend really likes me."
"Get out, I don’t need your services," Wei Tianyang said, thrusting his thumb toward the door.
"This is the Emperor’s order. From today, I must follow you every step you take, whether you like it or not," the key secretary said.
"Then I’ll go to her and have her cancel this order," Wei Tianyang said.
The key secretary shook her head, "She won’t cancel the order. She’ll just replace me with someone else, and I’ll be out."
Wei Tianyang sighed.
"You’ll get used to it—I’ll be your personal secretary from now on. Treat me like air during the day, I won’t bother or disturb you, and at night, you can use me as you please—why insist on refusing?" the key secretary said.
"Do all of you here see yourselves as tools? What do you mean ’use as you please’? Don’t you refuse these orders that insult your dignity?!" Wei Tianyang said.
"Being seen by the Three Armies Bureau and used by the Emperor is a great fortune. Besides, from ancient times, the affairs of love and pleasure, aside from procreation, are just human diversions. Now, it’s unfortunate for you, holding important benefits for Dayin, forced to keep secrets, only able to share a bed with me, yet you think I’m degrading myself?" the key secretary covered her mouth, laughing.
Wei Tianyang was shocked by the key secretary’s words; he never imagined someone could justify selling their body in such a matter-of-fact way.
"How is what you do different from a streetwalker?!" Wei Tianyang snapped.
"Stop being naive, Wei Tianyang... this is just a stance. Dayin deems you worthy of this, and I am willing, that’s all. You suffer no loss—why refuse? In Yin Country, few can receive such treatment, especially since you’re only seventeen," the key secretary advised.
Wei Tianyang said, "Do you people in Yin Country think only of power, status, and special treatment? Is that the only meaning your lives have?"
"Isn’t that good? Then what are you pursuing?" the key secretary asked.
"Go back and tell Zhao Ling, I don’t need a secretary. If she sends another woman to my room, I’ll leave Yin Country," Wei Tianyang said, angrily.
The key secretary sighed, got out of bed, picked up a fur coat from a nearby chair, and her expression returned to its earlier cold and haughty manner.
"I will convey your request to the Emperor, good night," she said coldly.
The next morning at 10 am.
It was the time when leaders of the Western Alliance and the Sethiyan Federation were arriving at Fengrao City to attend a crucial meeting. Fengrao City airport was tightly secured by the armed forces of Yin Country, and the highway from the airport to Lingxiao Palace was also under complete martial law.
The weather was fine that day, sunny and maintaining a temperature of 22 degrees, not resembling winter at all.
Air Force One had already arrived above Fengrao City, where the Federation Governor Steijie looked out the window, impressed by the sight of Fengrao City sitting on the plain.
"No matter how many times I see it, it impresses me," Steijie said.
The representative from the House of Representatives, Pelosi, who was nearing 70, said, "I came here when I was young, at that time, they had only built half of the cauldron."
"When was that?" Steijie was intrigued.
"Back when I was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, following Governor Rogers here for a visit, their Emperor was still a man at the time," Pelosi said.
"It later changed to Zhao Ling and has continued to this day," Steijie said.
Pelosi set her coffee spoon on the porcelain saucer, picked up the small porcelain cup, and smiled, "I really envy her."
Steijie and Pelosi reached the hatch, where Dayin’s reception team and the honor guard had been waiting for a long time; the mayor of Fengrao City and the head of the Three Armies Bureau were smiling at Steijie’s group from the edge of the red carpet.
Many of the formalities and niceties were omitted, just like the Western Alliance presidents, after a grand reception, took a limousine to the hotel arranged by Zhao Ling.
According to past customs, these foreign leaders generally stayed at the Jade Pavilion when they came to Dayin, but now, the entire hotel served only Wei Tianyang, so Steijie and the others were moved to other hotels in Fengrao City.
"It’s not the Jade Pavilion, I was here last time, it’s not this road. We’ve passed it," Steijie looked out the car window.
"That woman is showing us who’s boss. We’ll have to show some dominance in the negotiations later," Pelosi said with a smile.
"Do you think Wei Tianyang will be in Fengrao City?" Steijie asked.
"Impossible, considering the damage he caused in Chicken Snake Country, Zhao Ling would dare to let him into Yin Country but wouldn’t dare keep him in the capital. All politicians cherish their lives like gold, especially since she claims to be the Emperor," Pelosi confidently said.
"I think... at least during these few days, Wei Tianyang will appear in Fengrao City. He is one of the few cards Yin Country can play. Think about it; our trade relations, the level of capital integration, we’ve planted many spikes in their Foreign Affairs Bureau, ninety percent of their technology is bought from us. If we stop selling to them, Yin Country would revert to the stone agricultural era within ten years," Steijie said.
"Anyway, Wei Tianyang cannot join Yin Country. It would disrupt the world’s balance; he must stand with us," Pelosi said.
"Zhao Ling might appear tough, but she knows better than anyone what this country’s prosperity is built upon. She’s got a vibrating stick under her, dare to disobey, and I’ll press the button~" Steijie said with a laugh.
"Oh, Steijie, you old rascal, always making crude jokes. But I like this analogy. If Zhao Ling attempts to monopolize Wei Tianyang, we’ll let her enjoy it properly," Pelosi laughed.
"Of course, she can’t afford the price," Steijie laughed.
"By the way, Steijie, how are things arranged with the Western Alliance?" Pelosi asked.
"They can’t handle Wei Tianyang either, so they didn’t even consider it. We’ve discussed the perfect countermeasure, holding many sanction tools. They will cooperate with us in cornering Zhao Ling but also sought some benefits. I agreed with Libitelli to establish a Heavenly Falling Objects lab and signed a contract with Fatida for three nuclear submarines," Steijie said.
"Human nature," Pelosi nodded.
"But honestly, our previous contact with Wei Tianyang in Chicken Snake Country was a bit strained; just dealing with Zhao Ling won’t be enough," Steijie reminded.
"He’s only 17, wealth, women, status; these things should be enough to buy him. What else could a young boy of his age and background seek? What else could he want? The House of Representatives has specifically passed a law that allows the Governor to grant foreign nationals who may greatly contribute to the Federation in the future an instant Federation digital identity, bypassing all restrictions and granting them Governor-level treatment," Pelosi said.
"Sounds like a law crafted specifically for him," Steijie said.
"Needless to say, it’s solely for him," Pelosi said.
"I have a feeling that this afternoon’s meeting will reshape the entire world," Steijie said.
"You’re always so neurotic, Steijie," Pelosi laughed.
"I’m not joking," Steijie looked out the window, the spires of Lingxiao Palace glinting with golden light in the distance.
"I’m not joking."
