Chapter 223, Confirming that This Is Really My Biological Mother
"Mother, welcome to the Angry Owl Star."
Gu Hang's voice woke Wang Qi from her daze.
She saw Gu Hang open his arms and walked towards her.
She subconsciously opened her hands and hugged Gu Hang.
But she had a very strange feeling in her heart.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
The hug between the two was not tight, and Gu Hang let go of her hand after just a little contact.
He introduced to Wang Qi: "This is Fuxing City."
The place where the landing spacecraft landed was the airport of Fuxing City. There is a place opened up here for landing spacecraft to land.
From here, you can see the whole city.
To be honest, the Fuxing City in front of her did not make Wang Qi feel much. She has been to many worlds, and the urban construction of Fuxing City seems so-so to her. Not to mention compared with the capital of the star region and the Garden World Feiyi Star, even the second-tier cities of many ordinary planets are much more developed than Fuxing City.
However, she did not forget that this was originally a wasteland world.
Now, at least, everything she could see was not a wasteland.
It was not beautiful, but it was well-organized and the streets were clean.
All these changes happened in just one and a half years, and were created by her son.
Even the well-informed Ms. Wang Qi had to admit that this was definitely an outstanding performance.
When she thought about the temperament shown by Gu Hang, it was completely different from her impression.
Is this really the career that the useless son who made her angry and felt that he had insulted her and her late husband's genes could do?
Wang Qi, with mixed feelings, followed Gu Hang on a Feng Falcon, and a moment later, they arrived at the Alliance Building.
This is the tallest building in Fuxing City, which was rebuilt from the old Alliance Parliament Building. At present, this eight-story building is Gu Hang's official residence and also his office.
The top floor is the Parliament Hall, which has been renamed the Governor's Hall, which is dedicated to large-scale work meetings held by the Alliance.
On the same floor, Gu Hang had someone open up another more casual space, which is the Governor's Office.
Generally speaking, Gu Hang works here on a daily basis.
Processing some documents, thinking about some things, meeting some people, holding some small-scale secret meetings...
Behind the office, there are several rooms. Living room, bedroom, cloakroom, toilet, bathroom... These living-oriented houses are of course designed for Gu Hang.
All the decorations are not prosperous. Although everything is there, it is obvious that Governor Gu does not particularly pursue quality, as long as it is comfortable.
After Wang Qi visited all of them under the leadership of her son, she stood in front of the large French window in Gu Hang's office, overlooking the panoramic view of the city, and her mind drifted far away.
In her mind, there are always "two" sons.
One is in her memory, and the other is what she sees now.
The son in her memory likes gorgeous things, always wears expensive and complicated clothes, and the place where he lives is always magnificent. He likes to use these external things to cover up his inner weakness.
The son in front of her was wearing a proper military uniform, which showed his tall figure. There was no extra decoration. His residence was also simple, casual and simple, and even the colors were quite monotonous.
The son in her memory was timid, always full of resentment, always looking high and low, and had no ability but was self-important.
But what she saw at this moment was that he had achieved a lot, but was calm and steady, with his own majesty and full of demeanor.
These two figures appeared in Wang Qi's mind at the same time, but there was no way to overlap them.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Hang's gentle voice sounded beside him. He came over with a cup of hot tea in his hand, "I don't have anything good to treat you here. This was given to me by my cousin when she was here before."
She took the hot tea from her son and tasted it, but she didn't care about the taste of the tea.
She said to Gu Hang: "You didn't like tea before."
"Actually, I don't like it now either." Gu Hang smiled, "I just remember that you like it."
"You didn't care about these things before."
Gu Hang was silent for a while, and said: "I have changed a lot, right?"
"Yes, less than two years of training, can there be such a drastic change? If I had known earlier, I should have let you come out to train yourself."
"It depends on the timing." Gu Hang said, "I am also surprised at my own changes. In the few months on the road to the Angry Owl Star, I seem to have figured out a lot of things at once. Perhaps, this is what some legends say. The epiphany mentioned. "
"Why couldn't your epiphany come earlier..."
Gu Hang was very calm: "I think it's just right. If it weren't for this experience of being discouraged and then regaining my fighting spirit, it would be unrealistic to have an epiphany. From this perspective, I still have to thank you, mother. The slap you gave me before I left, and the fact that the family really didn't give me any support after I came to the Angry Owl Star, and the pressure that I would die if I didn't do a good job as the governor... Without these, where would the changes come from?"
Hearing this, Wang Qi finally felt a little familiar: resentment.
In her impression, her son seemed to always complain. Complaining about not having enough money to spend, complaining about others not being obedient, complaining that things couldn't develop as expected...
Just this familiar feeling, on the contrary, made her blood pressure rise a little.
This has always been the most disappointing thing about her son.
"Don't be sarcastic when you speak. If you feel that I or the family are not good enough to you, just say it directly."
Gu Hang laughed heartily and said, "I am not sarcastic. I am just speaking directly, aren't I?"
"Oh, then just speak directly. Why do you say 'I also want to thank my mother'?"
"Don't get me wrong. I am not saying thank you in a sarcastic way. I am saying it sincerely."
Since he had come to this point, Gu Hang's attitude became more calm.
He stared into his mother's eyes and said seriously:
"First of all, I want to thank you for giving me this body of life. This is the most important thing. Otherwise, I would not be able to stand here."
"Secondly, I want to thank my family for their status. Otherwise, no matter how dilapidated the Angry Owl Star is, no matter how much of a wasteland world it is, the position of governor would not fall on me. I will not ignore the help brought by the family's status."
"But these are all I want to thank you for."
"I came to the Angry Owl Star alone, with only a letter of appointment and support from the Imperial Navy. I don't need to thank you and your family for these things. After all, you were so opposed to me becoming the governor."
"I came from outside the city, in the wilderness, with nothing. I started from scratch, defeated the looters, destroyed the deformed monsters, and killed the rebels. I built factories and cities from scratch and recovered the original power of this planet. For these, I should not thank you and your family. "
"I wiped out the huge threats on the planet, from the heresy of the cult, to the greenskin natural disaster, to the advent of the devil; I led my army to the stars and killed the warlord of the orc fleet; my loyal subordinates drove away the powerful demon unclean. For these, I also don't need to thank you and your family. "
Hearing this, Wang Qi seemed to have guessed what Gu Hang was going to say, but she still couldn't believe it. No matter how many storms were in her heart, she just stared at Gu Hang, waiting for him to say the next words.
Gu Hang did not disappoint her, and said calmly and firmly: "Look, I need to thank you for a cup of hot tea, a caring, a troop sent out for your safety, and close cooperation with the family caravan in the future. Are these enough? I am expressing my gratitude with practical actions, and you will always be my mother."
"But everything ends here."
"There are too many things in the reconstruction and development of Angry Owl Star that do not require you and your family to thank you. Therefore, I think the relationship between Angry Owl Star and Gu's family is not big, and my relationship with Gu's family, except for the mother-son relationship with you, is not big either."
Wang Qi took a deep breath, staring at Gu Hang with a falcon-like gaze: "Are you going to break off your relationship with Gu's family? Don't you want the position of the head of the Gu's family?"
Gu Hang was still calm: "Look, you don't seem to listen to what I said before. The mother-son relationship between you and me will not change, I I respect you and love you, but there is no other relationship, right? Does the development of Angry Owl Star have anything to do with Gu's? As for the identity of the head of the Gu's family that you mentioned later... that's another matter. You never intended to hand over the entire family to me immediately. On the contrary, if you want to achieve your plan, I am the only choice to be the head of the family. "
"In other words, mother, you begged me to be the head of the family, not me. "
Wang Qi gritted her teeth: "This is your dream before!"
"But not the dream now." Gu Hang opened his hands, "I don't want to talk to you about dreams, because it's too big, like talking nonsense."
Looking at her son's look as if he wanted to embrace the entire starry sky, Ms. Wang Qi could be sure that her son had changed, completely changed, and was no longer the person she knew in the past.
This was something she had dreamed of, but when it really happened, she felt a sense of loss.
But she quickly restrained her inexplicable emotions.
This must be a great thing.
After all, she had been in the business world for decades, and she was able to keep the things left by her late husband and prevent them from being snatched away by her relatives.
She regained her composure.
"No matter what your dream is, becoming the head of the Gu family is a hundred benefits and no harm."
"Of course, I completely agree, so I did not oppose your plan, and in order to ensure that there are no problems with the plan and to ensure your safety, I also sent troops."
"Then you should be the governor of the Angry Owl Star. You can hang on to your identity as the head of the Gu family. You can attend some meetings when necessary, and you don't have to worry about other things."
"That's the best." Gu Hang said, "It's just that I, the head of the Gu family, can not take care of things, but in theory, it is reasonable to call on some family resources for the development of my planet."
"Didn't you say that the Angry Owl Star has no relationship with the Gu family?"
"Indeed, but the head of the Gu family should have this power, and this is what I deserve."
His words were pointed.
I am the nominal head of the family for you, so that you can manage things conveniently. Shouldn't you pay me?
Wang Qi could understand, of course.
She sighed and reached out to touch her son's handsome face: "All of this will eventually belong to you..."
"Yes, I believe it." No matter what Gu Hang thought in his heart, he always said this, "Some things, you can give them whenever you want, I won't take them. I only take what I deserve, it's not too much."
"It's not too much." Wang Qi retracted her hand, "Your cousin will lead a caravan again. If you have any trade needs, please contact her. After you build the star port, the Gu's caravan will bring the angry owl Stars are regular trade routes; Gu's caravan will give Nuo Xiao Star the most favorable treatment as a trading partner; you have the power of the head of the family, and you can use the personal amount of five million tax coins every year. I will not interfere with the use of this money. Where. But if the money has a good return on investment, the relevant fund amount can be increased.”
Gu Hang's eyes really lit up now.
Not to mention anything else, the five million tax coins this year is a huge benefit!
The tax that Raging Owl Star has to pay in a year is only so much!
He is now convinced that this is really his mother!
My mother said, "Come on, have lunch with me. I'll have a look at your territory in the afternoon."
…
The lunch was very sumptuous, with a lot of precious ingredients and fine wines that were not even produced in the Raging Owl Star.
Gu Hang could recall that basically all the food was what his predecessor liked to eat.
During dinner, mother and son chatted some more.
It wasn't just small talk, they didn't have that many topics to talk about, they mainly revolved around the family situation.
Gu Hang provided some insights.
After the meal, I left the cook and a cabin of ingredients for him, hoping that he would have something good to eat in the future.
It will take a certain amount of time to board the ship for the 30,000 soldiers who left with the mother.
While the army was boarding the ship, Gu Hang took Ms. Wang Qi to visit the factory in Wei Xingcheng, and took Jason Morgan, the provincial chief, with him on a Wind Falcon and quickly headed to Beiqinggu Province. Flying low over large fields.
All these things on the angry owl star made Ms. Wang Qi's eyes shine with excitement.
If seeing the orderly appearance of Fuxing City before made her feel reassured, then seeing Wei Xing City's small but solid factory that continuously produces industrial products and arms; When she saw the 200 million acres of farmland that had been or was about to be reclaimed in Beiqinggu Province, she could quickly calculate with just the consciousness of a businessman that the Raging Star had huge potential.
In addition to the businessman's investment awareness, a more instinctive emotion surged into his heart involuntarily:
pride!
Although her son had said a lot of nonsense earlier that had nothing to do with her or the Gu family, but... that was her son! She looked at these achievements and it was natural for her to do so.
Her son had changed, and couldn't have been better.
