Chapter 195 Construction in Xicheng District Begins
Three days later in the morning, the western suburbs of Beijing were bustling with activity. Models had begun to appear in various parts of the district, and hundreds of workers were busy at work.
At this time, a white car drove in and attracted the attention of the workers, who all looked sideways. Shangguan Wei and Situ Chong got out of the car, and walked towards the building hand in hand. The atmosphere on the scene became lively, and the workers put down their work and spontaneously gathered on both sides of the aisle, with excited smiles on their faces. When Shangguan Wei and Situ Chong passed by the aisle, the workers applauded to welcome them, and some even waved their hands and cheered enthusiastically.
"Welcome, His Royal Highness Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng, for giving me a new life."
"The living Bodhisattva of Tianlan Kingdom wishes the King and his wife a long life, many children and good fortune."
Shangguan Wei smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Thank you for your blessings. I also hope that Tianlan Country will live better and better. You use your hard-working hands to create a rich and stable life for yourself and your family."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you Princess Sheng for your kind words. As long as you are here, everything will be fine."
"Princess Sheng is beautiful and kind-hearted, the goddess of luck for Tianlan Country."
Shangguan Wei smiled and clasped her fists, "Thank you, thank you for your recognition and love. If you live well, I will be better off. Let's build a beautiful and prosperous Tianlan Kingdom together."
The workers shouted excitedly, "We will always be loyal to Princess Sheng and wish her a long life."
The female workers were so emotional, their eyes were red, and they ran out to ask Shangguan Wei for a hug.
"Long live Princess Sheng. It is you who made us women independent and capable of supporting our families. Woohoo!"
"You are our pride and a role model for us women."
Situ Chong stood in front of Shangguan Wei and said, "I have received your enthusiasm. I thank you on behalf of the princess. If we crowd here, it will easily lead to a stampede. Please disperse and do your own things."
He held Shangguan Wei's right hand tightly, his face looking serious and nervous, worried that Shangguan Wei would be accidentally distracted by the workers' enthusiasm.
The workers all saw this and automatically dispersed to the surroundings, leaving enough space and apologizing to Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei.
"Your Highness Prince Sheng and Princess Sheng are very sorry. We lost our sense of propriety. Please forgive us."
Shangguan Wei let go of Situ Chong's arm, walked up to the small steps next to her, and said with a faint smile, "Your enthusiasm is an affirmation of me. I am so happy, why would I be angry? People must have enthusiasm and passion to better perform in their work, so express yourself however you want and be a better person."
"Thank you for Princess Sheng's affirmation. We will be better ourselves."
"Build Tianlan Country and create our own value."
Shangguan opened her arms and looked around. "Everyone has said it well. The purpose of my visit this time is to hope that everyone can speed up the construction progress. Before your majesty's birthday, this place should be transformed so that other countries can see our strength, take off the hat of poverty and backwardness, and move towards becoming an economic power."
The workers raised their hands, excitedly shouting, "We will get rid of poverty and live up to our expectations."
"Build the Tianlan Kingdom with no regrets."
"As an economic powerhouse, Tianlan must be number one."
Shangguan Wei raised her pretty lips, "Okay, okay, I see your determination. In order to speed up the progress, a large number of machines will be brought in later to reduce your workload and help you complete the work better."
The workers cheered and some raised their hands, "What kind of machine is Princess Sheng? Have we seen it before?"
Shangguan Wei held her cheek with her right hand, "Haha, this should be the first time you see them. I believe they will bring surprises to everyone."
It is my luck to marry you, Wei'er. I hope that you and I can stay together for the rest of our lives and never leave each other.
Situ Chong's eyes were fixed on Shangguan Wei on the stage. Her every move and every smile deeply attracted him. His heart was filled with love, as if a warm ocean current was surging. He was willing to use everything to protect this love and let it bloom forever.
……
It's approaching noon.
Princess Chen sat with Yu Fugui and Yu Chengfeng in the elegant seats on the third floor of Taihe Restaurant. Yu Fugui looked at Princess Chen kindly with a smile on his face, and asked about her recent situation with concern. The whole scene was full of warmth and love, and the family was happy.
Princess Chen changed her usual arrogance and showed some shyness of a little girl. "Father, I am looking forward to your coming to the capital. If you don't come, our status as an imperial merchant will be lost, and we will even have to take down the title of the richest man."
Yu Chengfeng frowned, "Sister, who is shouting at us? Our Yu family's business is spread across the five countries, and it is not something that ordinary people can shake."
Princess Chen said aggrievedly, "Although our Yu family has a great influence, ever since Prince Sheng married his princess, my status has been suppressed by his princess in every way. That woman is even riding on my head, often bullying and humiliating me, and even..."
Yu Chengfeng angrily slammed his left hand on the table, "Where did this wild woman come from? How dare you bully my sister?"
Yu Fugui waved his hand, "Feng'er, don't be impatient. Listen to Shu'er's words so that your father can prescribe the right medicine for you."
Suddenly, outside the window came the sounds of people talking and the roar of machines passing by.
"Wow! What a magical thing this is. It looks like a car but not a car at the same time. People can sit inside and it can drive."
"Look, the ones sitting on the big hook are His Royal Highness Prince Lai and Dr. Zhang. They are not afraid of falling off."
"These big things were driven out from Prince Sheng's Palace and were heading to the western suburbs, so we, the common people, were lucky enough to see them."
"The western suburbs are undergoing a major construction project. Prince Sheng and his wife are hiring a large number of workers, and the welfare benefits are high in all aspects. We should go over and take a look. Maybe we can find a suitable job."
Yu Chengfeng stood in front of the window, "Sister, what's going on with the weird things down there? Ever since I came to the city, I've been hearing about West Suburbs, Dream Island, Longzhu Commercial Plaza, and the long tin box moving on the road."
Princess Chen bit her lower lip, her face full of displeasure, "Humph! It's all Princess Sheng's fault. That Dream Island and Dragon Ball Commercial Plaza have taken away all the business of the Yu family, and now they have built a pedestrian street in the western suburbs. I believe that in time, the name of Princess Sheng will spread throughout the six countries, and by then, there will be no place for the Yu family to stand."
Yu Chengfeng was so angry that his teeth itched. "Damn it, I will not allow such a thing to happen. I must do everything I can to suppress it, even if it costs a painful price. The Yu family must be the richest family in the world."
He turned his head and looked at Yu Fugui beside him, "Father, what are your plans for this matter?"
Yu Fugui looked down at the street below, "Father has heard a little about Princess Sheng's deeds. She is just a little girl. Feng'er has followed my husband in business for many years and has a good business sense. This matter will be left to you to handle."
"Brother, your business skills are inherited from my father. You will not lose to that country woman whose origin is unknown. I will also assist you."
Yu Chengfeng curled his lips, "Okay, our Yu family is rich enough to rival a country. As long as the money is in place, everything will be done. Let's see how I can make her cry for mercy."
