Chapter 9 The Yuus' Persuasion

On the first day, Wang Yu received a batch of construction materials, machinery, petroleum, generators, and various living facilities and supplies at a factory building.

Then came a group of workers and architects.

This would allow the construction of worker housing and warehouses in the secret realm to begin.

With You Xin Ci's female bodyguards and half of the company's security personnel overseeing things inside, coupled with the strong shock the workers and architects experienced from the abilities Wang Yu displayed.

Without the ability to communicate with the outside world, these workers and architects had no choice but to compromise and diligently work for now.

On the second day, there were still large quantities of building materials, machinery, and workers.

At the same time, food supplies began to arrive in succession.

Fifty thousand tons of frozen pork, costing 900 million.

Ten thousand tons of beef and lamb, 900 million.

Twenty thousand tons of chicken and duck, 800 million.

Five thousand tons of seafood, 700 million.

A few thousand tons of vegetables and rice were purchased. These were easy to cultivate in the secret realm, so there was no need to buy much.

Packaged foods and seasonings, 1 billion.

There were many other supplies, such as crop seeds, live poultry, solar charging panels, power generation equipment, and electronic devices for entertainment, and so on.

To avoid waste, Wang Yu bought another vacuum packaging processing plant.

If time and other conditions permitted, Wang Yu would have even built a munitions factory in the secret realm.

What a shame it wasn't possible, otherwise, they would have taken off!

But it didn't matter.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, everything would be free, a 0-yuan purchase.

Building the secret realm was just an insurance policy.

Or rather, a backup resource.

In Wang Yu's eyes, the entire South China Sea island belonged to him.

No one could take it away.

In these few days, Wang Yu was so busy he was running on fumes, with insufficient sleep.

Seeing him work so hard, You Xin Ci specially arranged a motorhome for him.

She also assigned a female bodyguard to be his private driver.

On the last day, Wang Yu inspected the work in the secret realm.

Basically, everything that was needed was in place.

One hour outside meant one day in the secret realm.

Three days had passed, which equated to nearly three months in the secret realm.

The cold storage, warehouses, farms, villas, and a large number of ordinary houses were now built.

During this time, You Xin Ci specifically instructed them to build a large swimming pool.

It could be said that the female CEO was indeed thoughtful.

Wang Yu had not even considered this.

The villa area was by the river, offering a beautiful view.

In Wang Yu's subconscious, if he wanted to swim, he could just go into the river.

Power supply was also normal, with 24-hour supply to the villa area and only nighttime power for the residential areas.

After the tour, Wang Yu nodded with satisfaction.

You Xin Ci, by his side, was also very happy.

Completing such a project in three days gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

Especially since it was all her money being spent.

Furthermore, what mattered more to her was that Wang Yu had said the secret realm would be ready.

She would be the manager here.

In the future, with the outside world being so dangerous, the secret realm would not only be safe but also offer excellent living conditions.

This way, she would possess considerable power.

Everyone who wanted to enter the secret realm would have to show her utmost respect.

However, this still wasn't secure enough.

She was a smart woman, and she had keenly sensed it before.

The future world would undoubtedly be a world of ability users.

Therefore, if she wanted to truly hold power, she either had to become a powerful ability user herself.

Or become the woman of a powerful ability user.

With this thought, she secretly glanced at Wang Yu again.

Her mind drifted back to what Wang Yu had said.

He had mentioned having several wives in the future…

"Good, next we need to continue improving this place. The residential areas need to be enclosed with fences, and tell them they cannot go out arbitrarily."

"There are many wild beasts in the secret realm. If an accident occurs, both the person involved and the person responsible will be severely punished."

"Also, inform your people and all security guards that they can bring their families over."

Initially, only two security captains had been promised, but after observing them these past few days.

All the security guards were of high caliber and capable, so it was decided to treat them equally.

Transportation was very developed now; it was possible to reach any place within China in less than a day.

Even if it wasn't possible today, it would be by ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

After Wang Yu finished speaking, he found no response.

Turning his head, he saw You Xin Ci staring at him blankly and couldn't help but frown.

"Hey, did you hear what I just said?"

Seeing Wang Yu turn to look at her, You Xin Ci finally came back to her senses.

But she had indeed zoned out and hadn't heard what Wang Yu said.

She could only lower her head, her face slightly flushed, "I, I was just thinking about what else we needed, I didn't hear clearly..."

Wang Yu rolled his eyes and had to repeat it to her.

Speaking of family, You Xin Ci couldn't help but ask, "What about your family? Aren't you bringing them over?"

Her parents were abroad and very busy.

It was only after You Qi's death that the family had the chance to gather.

Wang Yu shook his head slightly, "My parents divorced shortly after I was born. Later, my father, who was an alcoholic, was in a car accident, and my grandparents passed away a few years ago."

"Ah? Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's nothing. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal. It's better they are gone, so they don't have to witness the cruelty of this world. After tomorrow, even wanting to leave peacefully will be difficult."

As the sun set, the evening glow enveloped the entire secret realm, the light illuminating the newly built structures and the rippling river.

It also shone on Wang Yu's slightly lost face.

You Xin Ci looked at his handsome profile, finding it hard to imagine such a young and handsome man.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked so lonely…

In the afternoon, Wang Yu went to retrieve his sword and throwing knives.

At six o'clock, at You Xin Ci's villa.

Wang Yu had dinner with her family.

During the meal, You Xin Ci's father didn't seem to be in good spirits, but her mother was very enthusiastic, chatting and laughing with Wang Yu.

The elderly couple talked about Wang Yu's age, experiences, and family background.

Wang Yu answered truthfully.

Although the You couple didn't care about money and had good upbringing.

They didn't show any dissatisfaction with Wang Yu.

But Wang Yu, with his rich experience, sensed that they were still a bit displeased with their beloved daughter's first boyfriend.

They had originally hoped that their daughter wouldn't necessarily find someone extraordinary, but given her beauty and wealth, at least someone capable of managing and preserving the family fortune.

To their surprise, it turned out to be an undergraduate student who hadn't even graduated yet…

This was far from their expectations.

However, when money truly reaches a certain level, people begin to focus on spiritual well-being.

For example, You Xin Ci's parents, although Wang Yu didn't meet their expectations.

Since their family's money was enough for generations to come, as long as their daughter was happy, they would be content.

They would absolutely not interfere with the relationship between the two.

You Xin Ci didn't notice anything unusual, thinking her parents were as open-minded as she knew them to be.

Wang Yu said nothing, continuing to eat, drink, and chat.

His composure and nonchalance surprised the You couple.

However, after dinner, when Wang Yu, along with You Xin Ci, demonstrated their abilities to them.

Of course, the wind blade was omitted to avoid suspicion.

Their expressions changed from mere surprise to utter shock!

They were undoubtedly among the wealthiest people on Blue Star, yet like ordinary people, they were witnessing abilities for the first time.

They were instantly amazed by Wang Yu and praised him incessantly.

They also praised their daughter's good taste.

Wang Yu merely smiled faintly at this change in attitude.

You Xin Ci, on the other hand, was blushing profusely.

Firstly, Wang Yu had approached her, not the other way around, so it had nothing to do with her taste.

Secondly, their relationship was fake, and she was merely Wang Yu's junior secretary and housekeeper at most.

However, to prevent her parents from noticing anything amiss, she pretended to be coy and bashful.

As a CEO for several years, she possessed a certain level of acting ability.

In the evening.

Wang Yu slept alone in the villa.

You Xin Ci's room, however, became the venue for a family meeting.

"Daughter, how far have you two… progressed?"

It was difficult for her father to bring up such a matter, so it was You Xin Ci's mother who asked.

You Xin Ci feigned composure and replied, "Ahem, it's just a normal man-woman relationship; we haven't reached that stage yet."

She was no longer young.

A woman in her late twenties, she obviously knew what her mother was asking.

Before her mother could respond, You Xin Ci's father frowned, "Xin Ci, it's not that Dad is lecturing you."

"As businessmen, you should know what's most important."

"You're not getting any younger, and it's alright to be proactive about these things. We people of the You family seize opportunities! Dad has a premonition that this young man, Wang Yu, will surely have many women throwing themselves at him in the future."

"Moreover, if the world truly becomes as chaotic as Wang Yu says, Dad also hopes you find someone like Wang Yu to protect you."

"So you don't end up like your uncle. You need to act fast!"

After her father finished speaking, her mother nodded in agreement.

You Xin Ci was somewhat flustered, stammering and unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, her father didn't know that she had hinted to Wang Yu to kill her uncle, otherwise, they might have had a serious rift.

Unable to resist her parents' persuasion.

You Xin Ci finally had to agree, stating that she would work hard.

Only then did she see her parents out of her room.

But this was too awkward…

He's never even dated, and I'm supposed to be proactive about this?

I have no idea what to do!!

That night, Wang Yu slept as usual.

With the secret realm secured, even if the apocalypse didn't arrive tomorrow, so what?

The You couple lay in bed chatting, marveling at the changes in the world.

Soon after, they also fell asleep.

Only You Xin Ci felt immense pressure, her mind in turmoil, tossing and turning restlessly.

For a few seconds, she wished she could just crawl into Wang Yu's bed right now.

Of course, she calmed down considerably after those few seconds.

It wasn't the apocalypse yet, and she was still the high and mighty CEO.

She couldn't bring herself to be proactive about such a matter…
