My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 351 - 119 Locust Leaf Cold Tofu, Almond Tofu (Part 1
Ke Xing didn’t hear much from the side, but seeing Du Xixi’s expression after shutting off the Light Computer was sowhat cold, and beside her, Miao Miao was also a bit agitated, so he leaned over and asked softly, "What’s the matter? Is soone courting death again?"
Ke Xing’s current retirent life could be described as very colorful; not only could he spend every day with his adorable grandchildren, but he could also witness the jokes of the Empire that he didn’t like, and he would even laugh in his dreams.
Thus, although Ke Xing was concerned about Du Xixi and Miao Miao, he was more curious about which unlucky fellow was knocking at the door this ti.
"That guy from the Education Departnt," Du Xixi stated directly. She briefly explained the situation, then revealed a trace of disdainful pity on her face, "I don’t think my brother will go easy on him. I’m afraid his retirent won’t be pleasant."
Chen Yin’s affection for Du Xixi was already seen clearly across the All-Star regions, yet only those "old stubborn fools" were still obsessively insisting that Du Xixi wasn’t worth ntioning, wishing they could make a move on her on the spot.
However, in previous incidents where Du Xixi and her people encountered trouble, Chen Yin was furious like thunder, even if it ant directly confronting several Empires at the interstellar court; he never flinched. Naturally, he wouldn’t show restraint because of an early hero who constantly causes trouble.
In public, Chen Yin would certainly treat them well, providing for them materially and spiritually without shortchanging them a bit. But privately, since they hurt Du Xixi, Chen Yin’s sister, Chen Yin certainly wouldn’t hold back.
Sipping lukewarm water lightly, feeling the water pass through her throat, Du Xixi’s slight discontent finally subsided. However, though she cald down, Ke Xing was sowhat displeased with the Education Departnt Minister’s approach.
"I rember him, in his early years, he was also a ritorious talent like ," Ke Xing indirectly praised himself first, then sighed regretfully, "But so people, as they age, just end up going backwards instead."
Although Ke Xing was a man of the Military Departnt, once hailed as a "reckless man" on the battlefield, he would never use his brains for anything that could be solved by force, which led to all his ailnts. Yet, Ke Xing’s wisest decision was retiring at the right ti, letting his son excel in the Military Departnt instead.
He exchanged a lifeti’s glory for a peaceful retirent. After all, a family can’t all be pillars of the Military Departnt; that would be too conspicuous, so it was enough just having Ke Lian to bring glory to the Ke Family’s na.
But the Education Departnt Minister was different; he chose to stand alone, wanting to control Blue Star Empire’s education affairs singlehandedly. But is that possible? There are countless literary aristocratic families, and picking any one of them wouldn’t allow the Education Departnt Minister to act recklessly.
The Sun Family, where Sun Mulin resides, has many relatives working in the Education Departnt. According to Ke Xing, the Sun Family people not only excelled academically but also had considerable skills in dealing with others.
The Sun Family is indeed a major force against the Education Departnt Minister; many of the wrong decisions he tried to make were basically stopped by the Sun Family, preventing any stir.
Ke Xing leaned on the sofa with a bit of lancholy, even the most important news seed hard to take in. Looking into Du Xixi’s eyes, he said, "Xixi, just ignore him. No matter what storm brews on the Star Network, just go on and do what you wish to do, we are here supporting you!"
The incident where the Education Departnt Minister made decisions on his own likely had reached Chen Yin’s ears. Chen Yin has always valued Du Xixi’s safety above all. Once he knew about this behavior from the Education Departnt Minister, being displeased was secondary; Chen Yin was likely going to take action against the minister.
What is the biggest flaw of an Emperor? Paranoia! Do not be deceived by Chen Yin’s usually laid-back, congenial Emperor deanor of everyone getting along well; he also possesses paranoia, worrying about the Empire’s safety and his position as Emperor.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t always support Ke Lian, just because Ke Lian is his reliable confidant and an efficient assistant in controlling and overseeing the Military Departnt.
An underling attempting to strike against a mber of the Imperial Family, an underling defying his commands... Chen Yin will not tolerate that! Ke Xing was very clear about this.
Du Xixi naturally understood as well. She smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, this exposure might not necessarily be a bad thing. It gives those netizens a psychological preparation in advance so that they are less shocked when they see once the departnts open."
Caught off guard is certainly caught off guard. The Education Departnt Minister probably wanted the netizens to question Du Xixi’s qualifications and to rally against her.
But Du Xixi had already established a solid "kingdom" on the Star Network long ago. Not every netizen may be a fan of Du Xixi, but her substantial number of followers wasn’t for nothing. At least going to the Food Departnt as a professor, besides so people possibly bringing up her academic credentials, others probably wouldn’t oppose too much.
However, while Du Xixi might be fine, the Education Departnt Minister is likely to be invited by Chen Yin to "eat cake." Du Xixi chuckled lightly, finding tonight’s moonlight particularly delightful.
The phrase "trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it" perfectly describes the Education Departnt Minister, doesn’t it?
