Chapter 5: Seems to Have Been Tricked

Graystone is the only naturally habitable planet in the Xuannv Galaxy and the core territory of the Wang family.

Qi Yiming followed Wang Sen to the villa area on the surface where the lower-level retainers of the Wang family lived. After a ceremony of swearing allegiance according to the rules of the Wang family, Wang Sen held a small welcome dinner for Qi Yiming.

In terms of affiliation, Qi Yiming actually belongs to Wang Zhengfeng, the head of the Wang family.

But everyone who attended the banquet could see that Qi Yiming was actually an external aid brought by Wang Sen.

This made Wang Dong, as Wang Sen's competitor, a little curious. What kind of ability did Qi Yiming have that made his eldest brother pay so much attention to him.

Although the two brothers kept making small moves in secret, they were still a harmonious picture of brotherly friendship and respect on the surface.

Wang Dong kept walking in the crowd with a goblet in his hand, and finally stopped in front of Qi Yiming.

"Brother, why don't you introduce this friend to me?" Wang Dong looked at Wang Sen with a warm face.

Wang Sen also had a smile on his face. He pulled Qi Yiming, who was just eating and drinking, and said, "This Mr. Qi is a freedom fighter. His warship is very powerful."

"Oh?" Wang Dong raised his eyebrows and looked at the plain-looking Qi Yiming curiously.

As a child of a noble family, Wang Dong certainly wasn't bored enough to personally go down to compete with a newcomer.

Of course, Wang Dong's absence didn't mean that no one else would go down to test Qi Yiming.

Otherwise, Wang Dong wouldn't have shuttled back and forth in the banquet hall with a goblet before contacting Qi Yiming.

"Freedom fighter? There are so many freedom fighters in this world. You can't just say that someone has extraordinary abilities and then easily join our Wang family." The speaker was a big man who was already a little drunk.

Qi Yiming frowned and looked at the man. He found that the other party seemed to be drunk, so he didn't care. After all, it was impossible for a normal person to argue with a drunkard.

But the big man was unwilling to give in, and said with a big tongue: "It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk. If you only rely on your eloquence, I would say that my destroyer can overturn a battleship."

Soon, a harsh laugh rang out in the banquet hall.

Wang Sen looked at Qi Yiming awkwardly.

On the contrary, Qi Yiming comforted Wang Sen without changing his expression: "Don't mind it. A drunkard just took advantage of his excessive drinking to satisfy his craving for food. I won't argue with him."

Wang Sen looked at Qi Yiming gratefully and quickly waved to the waiters in the banquet hall.

The waiter who received the order hurriedly dragged the big man out of the banquet hall.

Wang Dong raised his glass to Qi Yiming calmly and left the banquet quietly.

After leaving the venue, Wang Dong's face darkened. He waved his hand to call over a subordinate and said a few words: "Go check for me, what is the background of this Qi Yiming."

When he returned to his residence, the big man who had just been drunk and making a scene at the banquet was already waiting in Wang Dong's room.

"Danniu, what do you think of this Qi Yiming?"

The man called Daniel smiled and said: "It's hard to tell how deep he is, but from his performance at the banquet today, it's hard to say how deep his scheming is, at least he is not an impulsive person."

Wang Dong nodded, "I have sent someone to inquire about him."

"Second Young Master, don't take Qi Yiming too seriously for the time being. His current status is too low to affect the decision-making of the family's top leaders. Just pay a little attention to him."

"Danniu, no one will believe it if you tell others that you, a big and strong man, can actually be my think tank." Wang Dong smiled and patted Niu Ben (Ben) on the shoulder.

After Wang Dong and his men left the banquet, the atmosphere became even more lively.

People from Wang Sen's faction surrounded Qi Yiming and raised their glasses frequently. Qi Yiming also accepted all the toasts.

"Mr. Qi is a big drinker." Fortunately, Wang Sen helped Qi Yiming out in time. "Come on, Mr. Qi, let me introduce you to our Wang family's most loyal minister."

He then pulled Qi Yiming to a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a neatly trimmed mustache.

"This is Elder Li Zhimeng, who was once my father's close follower. He fought with my father for more than ten years and made countless achievements, and has achieved what he has today."

"Young master, you are too kind." Li Zhimeng waved his hand modestly, "The head of the family only gave me this honor because of my diligence in the past ten years. It can't be said that I have done anything."

Li Zhimeng took a sip of the red wine in the goblet and continued, "Our Wang family is one of the largest families in the Xuanwu star cluster. Mr. Qi is so young and promising. I hope he can do his best in my Wang family in the future and make a name for himself in this star field as soon as possible."

"I can't say he is young and promising, but since I have joined the Wang family, I will do my best." Qi Yiming also made some polite remarks.

Li Zhimeng raised his glass again and left the banquet hall with his big belly shaking.

Wang Sen accompanied Qi Yiming to continue to greet others. During the chat, he said to Qi Yiming, "Elder Li came here on behalf of my father. He is impartial to our two brothers and is considered neutral."

Qi Yiming nodded. He had no interest in the power struggle among the children of the noble families. However, looking at the situation today, it seemed that he was tricked by Wang Sen.

Wang Dong, who looked harmless, looked like a smiling tiger. As for the burly man, his acting was too poor. You got drunk just a few minutes after the banquet started? Are you kidding me?

"No, I can't be used as a gun like this. None of these noble children are good at it. I have to find a way to get out of this vortex." Qi Yiming secretly calculated in his heart, "The strength I have shown now is not enough for me to have a transcendent status. It seems that I have to work hard to climb up."

The banquet did not end until late at night.

The next morning, Wang Sen took Qi Yiming to meet Wang Tiansheng, the head of the Wang family.

He had a square face, a clean beard, and sat in the center of the reception hall in a simple and elegant suit.

"Father, this is Mr. Qi Yiming, who has just joined our family." Wang Sen stood in front of Wang Tiansheng in an orderly manner, dressed meticulously, and seemed to have a strict upbringing.

"Hmm..." Wang Tiansheng glanced at Qi Yiming standing beside Wang Sen indifferently: "Welcome Mr. Qi to join us."

He waved his hand to signal the waiter beside him to hand over a special communicator to Qi Yiming.

"This is the communicator of my Wang family's intranet. Some tasks will be issued every month. There are corresponding merit points behind the tasks. If you want to make a big difference in my Wang family, work hard to complete the tasks above and accumulate merits."

After saying that, he left the reception room on his own.

"Is that all?" Qi Yiming looked at Wang Tiansheng's back in surprise.

But it's normal to think about it. How can a lower-level retainer get the attention of the head of the family without a sufficiently outstanding performance?

Perhaps even this meeting was just a reluctant show for Wang Sen's face.

After coming out of the reception room, Wang Sen had a lot of things to deal with, so he asked Qi Yiming to walk around and get familiar with the environment first, and come to him after he finished the things at hand.

Qi Yiming nodded: "You go do your thing first, you don't need to worry about me."

Qi Yiming frowned as he watched Wang Sen walking away with his men.

To be honest, Qi Yiming has no clear concept of his own strength so far.

He can't be sure that his Xuefeng's combat power is definitely higher than that of the current warships of the same level, but from Wang Sen's attitude towards Qi Yiming, Qi Yiming doesn't think his combat power will be that bad, otherwise Wang Sen wouldn't be so eager to pull him into his camp.

However, the actual situation still needs to be tested.

"Then take a simpler task to warm up first." Qi Yiming fiddled with the intranet communicator in his hand.

Ask for a collection.
