Shi Jian was sitting in the room, with a cup of hot drink in his hand that was constantly steaming. He looked calm, but his eyes drifted to the screen next to him from time to time, with unconcealable worry in his expression.

Naville sat in front of the screen, looking at the gradually agitated people above, calm and composed.

"Is this okay?" Shi Jian finally couldn't help but speak.

When Navier heard the voice, he turned around immediately without any further pause, and joked: "I thought you could hold it back longer."

Ever since Naville let the group of people into the house, Shi Jian felt uneasy, but he didn't ask any more questions.He believed that Neville's behavior must have his reasons, but after so long, there was still some uncontrollable worry in him.

He looked at Naville, just in time to meet the smiling eyes of the other party. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Shi Jian lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and no longer made contact with the other party's eyes: "I could hold it back, but I It seems that they are about to start, and it would be bad if they smashed your house."

Naville didn't expect this answer. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and followed his gaze to the screen.In an inconspicuous corner of the screen, a hand is caressing a well-shaped ornament, and it looks like it can be picked up at any time as a weapon to carry out violence.

Shi Jian stared at that corner for a moment, and was ready to instruct the AI ​​butler to spray water on the opponent as soon as the opponent started to smack. He could spray the opponent's face like a smoke extinguishing spray.He intuited that something had happened recently, but he was living too easily. He was either treating Naville or trying various methods of exercising and entertainment. He didn't have the time to pay attention to what happened again until The other party came to the door and finally broke the illusion of tranquility.

He almost forgot that the person sitting next to him was not an ordinary person. Even now that he hardly takes care of military affairs, there are countless people waiting for Naville to hand over his civilian rights, and even tried his best to A way to force him to hand over his private property.Shi Jian didn't have much private property, but he also knew that this kind of property was different from the family property. Even if Navier really had no chance of turning over, there was no need to hand over the private property.

However, the Ulster family is so big that even minor relatives can bring out a lot of them. Everyone has selfish motives, and they want to take a bite of the cake that seems to be slaughtered by Neville.

Shi Jian took a sip of his drink, his heart was very nervous, but his hands didn't shake at all.

Neville hung out with the group for a while before finally getting through to them.

When his voice sounded in that house through the AI ​​steward, those people were taken aback. After they reacted, several of them showed sullen expressions on their faces. I was very dissatisfied with the behavior of not coming out to receive the reception in person for a long time, but it broke out because of the bad face.

This surprised Shi Jian quite a bit. These people did a lot of immoral things in private a while ago. When Navier got the information, he didn't hide from Shi Jian. Now he doesn't know what happened. Tail limp.

Shi Jian looked at the major general next to him with great interest, probably this is the mastermind behind the change of this group of people.

He wasn't very interested in the process, and he didn't even think it would be a bright thing.But that's okay, the big family's intrigues are no longer a secret, either you die or I live is also a creed that everyone can understand, he is only happy because Navier successfully escaped the siege of these people.

Sitting next to him quietly listening to Neville and the other party, Shi Jian didn't make a sound, and slowly understood the conversation between them.

Yaheng seems to have calmed down a bit since the incident at the dinner party, and he hasn't made any big moves on the surface, but he is really leaving a mine as promised by Navier.And it really lived up to Shi Jian's worries, what he really wanted was the part-time family's port mine, and Naville didn't ask much, and gave it to him directly.

There must always be someone to manage the mining area, how could Yaheng rest assured that Naville's people would continue to hold him back?The first thing to do when you get the mining area is naturally to replace all the managers with your own people.And those newly promoted managers also happen to be among this group of people seeking justice.

In addition to them, there are a few others, although they are not the management personnel of the mining area, they are also relatives and friends of Yaheng, and they are indistinguishable from those who manage the mining area.Seeing that those few people had the lucrative position of managing the port, they were a little annoyed, and they complained many times in private, of course they wanted to have similar positions for themselves.

But Naville is still a major general after all, even if everyone does not know how he is recovering, and they think that it is impossible for him to recover sooner or later, it is impossible to pull him down immediately.What's more, Yaheng's self-assessed dinner announced his relationship with Navier's ex-fiancée was criticized by the elders of the family, and did not get any benefits.So no one dared to say bluntly that Yaheng would be able to inherit the family, and most of the regional resources that the juniors in Ulster could control were still concentrated in the hands of Naville.

Of course, Yaheng wanted to share some lucrative jobs with his other friends, but there were so many people who wanted to curry favor with him, and he didn't have so many positions even if he wanted to be in the same position as Yulu.

For some reason, these dissatisfaction and discussions "accidentally" reached Naville's ears. Naville was "surprised", and immediately gave Yaheng the two small mine stars around the mining area of ​​the port very considerately. Considerately sent someone to notify those friends.

Although the group of people didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Naville's gourd, of course they felt that their own interests were the most important, so they immediately ran to Yaheng to ask for a job, and became managers happily.

Then, they all gathered at Neville's house.

Shijian was still a little puzzled when he understood what was going on before, but he almost laughed when he figured it out later.

There must be a reason for Neville's generosity.Probably besides the special elements he knew, there were other secrets here. This group of people were all rushing to gain a sense of presence in front of Yaheng, the "new successor", but they were tied together and slipped away.

Navier communicated with them unhurriedly, and explained their situation in a few sentences.

It's a cliché, but it's not quite right.Everyone knew that Naville must be well aware of what happened, but he just didn't say it himself, and insisted on pretending to be ignorant, and the group of people who came to ask for help couldn't help it.

The major general who was asked for help seemed to be in a good mood. Although he still had the poker face he had always maintained to the outside world, he tapped his fingertips on the table cheerfully where the AI ​​camera couldn't see.

It turned out that the mining area was not an ordinary mining area at all. In addition to the minerals with many special elements, it also had strange phenomena that were difficult to explain.

The faces of all the visitors were ashen, unwilling but had to state what had happened: they took over the mine and were ordered by Yaheng to take good care of the property of the Ulster family, so naturally they dared not neglect.

Although he obtained the position through Yaheng's light, the new heir is not a gentle character.

When Shi Jian thought about it, he knew that they must have concealed Yaheng's instructions, but even if they didn't tell Shi Jian about this point, Shi Jian and Shi Jian both knew it well, so it didn't matter.

According to that group of people, after they took over the mine, they knew that this place hadn't been mined much before, so they wanted to start working and add some new resources to the Ulster family, but strange things happened one after another.There are no more than two kinds of work in mining areas: robot mining and human mining.Robot mining has relatively high requirements on the mining environment, because intelligent robots are easily affected by special elements, but few people are willing to do hard work like miners, and robots are much cheaper than manpower.

They first introduced robots, and they specifically emphasized that they were the latest and best ones, but they broke down after not working for a while.They knew that there were special elements around here, which were not suitable for mining by machines, so they could only use manpower.Unexpectedly, not long after, even the manpower offered to resign, and some workers even didn't even want wages, just wanted to leave quickly.

In the mining area of ​​the Ulster family, it was easy to recruit people, but I didn't expect people to leave faster.It was gone within a few days, and now they were dumbfounded.

The empire attaches great importance to the human rights of workers, and they cannot force workers to stay and ask them to work for them.Not to mention that those workers were talking more evil than one, but none of them could explain clearly what was wrong with the mine.

They went to ask Yaheng, and Yaheng became angry when he heard what they said. He slapped the document in his hand on the table, gritted his teeth and concluded: "Navier must have done it on purpose." But he didn't give them any advice.

This group of people tried to catch in the mining area for a long time, but they didn't catch anything, but they were not reconciled to being just an administrator. Just kidding, whoever guards such a large mining area can't mine, what is the difference between that and no mining area? ?They still worked so hard to find Yaheng for this position. If they can't mine, they can't make money. Isn't that a waste of smiles?

They thought that there should be a solution on Navier's side. Even if there is no solution, it must be more reliable on Biaheng's side, and Navier said so generously in front of the nobles at that time that he would give it to the Yaheng mining area. Technical support is also passable.

They made up their minds, but no one dared to break into Neville's house. Fortunately, these people had this idea, so they gathered together and came in a big way, occupying the living room of one of Neville's private houses. It was full.

Shi Jian was not very interested in how they communicated. He just watched Navier's few words and made those people angry. In the end, he even agreed to let Navier's people—that is, the managers who had just been removed—to help deal with it. these questions.

Those people were naturally reluctant, but they were forced to go nowhere by the major general's sharp eyes, and they all went to other people's homes, as if they were in a tiger's den, so they could only stick their necks and agree to let Naville's people join them Manage the place.

After those people left resentfully, Shi Jian came over, looked at the major general's expression of control, and asked curiously, "How did you manage to get all those workers to leave?"

"Guess." When he is in a good mood, Neville likes to joke with familiar people in private.

Shi Jian couldn't figure it out, and tilted his head to diverge his thoughts: "Did you hire someone to pretend to be a ghost?"

"This is too low-level." Navier commented unceremoniously.

Shi Jian, who was evaluated as low-level, glared at the major general angrily: "Don't guess, just say it!"

"Actually, it's nothing, the same thing happened before."

"Huh?" Shi Jian became interested, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, "So when we went last time, there were no mining personnel, is it also because of this reason?"

Neville took a sip of tea, smiled without saying a word.
