Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1601: Saving Respect (Second Update)

Quan Yuxun finally couldn't help it and sent Xia Chujian another video call invitation.

At this time, Xia Chujian was learning how to make gold jewelry with She Zhuyin.

Seeing the prompt popped up on the quantum optical brain, she said to She Zhuyin: "Aunt, I'm going to take a call and will be back soon."

She Zhuyin said with a smile: "Go ahead, I'm tired too, I plan to take a rest."

Xia Chujian said, "Okay, let's make jewelry together in a few days."

Making this thing well really requires a lot of time, effort and eyesight.

Xia Chujian rubbed his bloodshot eyes and walked out of She Zhuyin's gold-making studio.

Back in the living room of her room, Xia Chujian sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that let in sunlight and answered Quan Yuxun's video call invitation.

This time, Quan Yuxun did not use a virtual background.

However, Xia Chujian discovered that it was not Quan Yuxun's bedroom that he saw last time, but seemed to be in a very exotic attic room.

She smiled and said, "What's up, Chief Quan? Where did you go on vacation? This kind of arrangement is rare!"

Quan Yuxun didn't even look back at his room, but asked in confusion: "Yuanbao, did you move?"

Xia Chujian played dumb: "Moving? No! Where my aunt and family are is home! How can you say I moved? Don't talk nonsense!"

Quan Yuxun: "..."

"Speak properly, don't use a weird accent."

"So where are you now?"

Xia Chujian said: "Of course at home!"

Quan Yuxun: "...If you are at home, come out to the west wall and wave to me."

"I'm in the attic on the west side of the wall now."

"To the east is your family's manor."

Xia Chujian: "..."

Sure enough, it was in the attic.

She smiled and continued to play dumb: "Are you in the attic of Zangge Star? Or in the attic of the imperial capital of Beichen Star?"

Quan Yuxun said, "I'm in the attic next to your house in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star."

Xia Chujian: "..."

Quan Yuxun continued, "I have observed your house for three days, and there is no one in your house, only robots."

Xia Chujian pursed her lips, and after a while, she said with a guilty conscience: "What are you doing? Are you spying on my house?"

"As the chief legal advisor of the Senate, you actually broke the law knowingly?"

Quan Yuxun raised his eyebrows and said, "Legally speaking, voyeurism refers to the act of secretly peeping at the other person's privacy without their permission."

"I'm looking at your yard openly, how can that be called peeping?"

"Your yard is open-air and a semi-public place."

“Does your yard have privacy?”

Xia Chujian: "..."

Forget it, forget it. She must have gone crazy to argue with a lawyer.

Xia Chujian laughed: "Qilin, stop trying to save face. Do you want to know where I am so badly?"

"What are you going to do? Are you going to report me?"

"I followed the proper leave application procedure. I'm not running away from the battle!"

Quan Yuxun said: "You think too much, why should I report you?"

"It's not that I want to know where you are, I'm just surprised that your whole family is not at home."

"Forget it. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

"It's just caring for a friend."

Quan Yuxun said this calmly. Normally, if he said this, no one would be able to resist and would tell him everything about their situation.

As a result, Xia Chujian was not ordinary.

She smiled and said, "That's great. I hope everyone can be as easy to talk to as Chief Quan. I really don't want to say where I am."

Quan Yuxun: "..."

At this moment, he wondered whether he was the lawyer or Xia Chujian was the lawyer.

Not only is this man eloquent, he's also incredibly thick-skinned!
Not afraid of any social conventions at all.

It's so frank that he would regret it and not be able to sleep at night if he didn't like it.

Quan Yuxun took a deep breath and said, "I recently took a long vacation and stayed in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star."

"If you have time and want to come over and show your hospitality, I'll wait for you."

Xia Chujian thought, why should I go back to fulfill my duties as a host?
She is a poor student, but not a fool.

Xia Chujian laughed and said, "Chief Quan is thoughtful. In fact, Chief Quan is now a formal citizen of Mulan City, Guiyuan Star."

"Mulan City isn't that big. If you stay here for three days, you'll be more of a native than us!"

"When the time comes, I will come to you to learn from you and ask you where to go for fun!"

The two chatted for a while before interrupting the video call.

Xia Chujian didn't feel anything, but Quan Yuxun felt depressed.

Since he had nothing to do, he turned his attention to the huge construction site in the north. He always felt that anyone who could and dared to build a house here must have a good background.

Moreover, the house was so close to his home and Xia Chujian's home. For safety reasons, he needed to investigate the background of the person who built the house.

If he was not a decent person, he would have to find a way to prevent that person from building his house.

After all, it would be a real bummer if you had bad neighbors on vacation.

Quan Yuxun called one of his right-hand men over and said, "You'll have one week to find out who is building a house in the north."

Before the right-hand man could start investigating, he got a piece of news and hurried back to tell Quan Yuxun, "Master Quan, the Urban Construction Bureau of Mulan City is coming to cause trouble in the north."

Quan Yuxun raised his head from the desk and looked at him inquiringly: "...and then?"

The man went on to say, “I met a friend there and there’s a job for me.”

"He told me that it was the Special Security Bureau's branch in Mulan City that notified their Urban Construction Bureau, saying that the Special Security Bureau's surveillance in the Exotic Beast Forest had captured someone building large-scale projects in the Exotic Beast Forest, and asked them whether they had registered properly."

"The people from the Urban Construction Bureau said that the Exotic Beast Forest is not under the jurisdiction of Mulan Urban Management."

"They are officials from the Urban Construction Bureau and cannot exercise administrative jurisdiction over the Exotic Beast Forest north of Mulan City."

"But because the Exotic Beast Forest belongs to the royal family, they still have to send someone to investigate the situation."

"If it was built with royal authorization, they can't disturb each other."

Quan Yuxun nodded and said, "Okay, then follow up and find out who is building the house there."

If it was the royal family, he would have left too.

His right-hand man wore a button camera monitor, allowing Quan Yuxun to get first-hand live news along the way.

Quan Yuxun sat in his study with a virtual display screen in front of him, showing what his right-hand assistant had seen and heard along the way.

He saw a group of people getting off the Urban Construction Bureau's aircraft and heading straight into the large construction site ahead.

The leader, wearing a heavy uniform from the Urban Construction Bureau, politely asked the construction workers, "Excuse me, where is your boss?"

"I'm the deputy director of the Mulan City Urban Construction Bureau. I'm here to investigate the situation."

On this construction site, the main construction workers are actually robots.

But there are also some human workers who are responsible for managing and maintaining the robots, as well as doing some very personalized customized technical work.

When the man heard that it was the deputy director of the Mulan City Construction Bureau, he immediately said, "I'll go find the foreman."

Not long after, a tall man wearing a hard hat and covered in dust came out of a makeshift shed.

He smiled and extended his hand to the deputy director of the Mulan City Urban Construction Bureau, saying, "Hello, hello, how can I help you?"

As people in the construction industry, it is their job to establish good relationships with local urban construction bureaus.

The deputy director was also very polite and said, "I just want to take a look. Have your buildings here been registered in Mulan City?"

The foreman said, "This is private land. It doesn't need to be registered with the Urban Construction Bureau, right?"

“And this isn’t a densely populated neighborhood, so no building permit is required.”

The deputy director felt nervous and thought that this forest of exotic beasts belonged to the royal family.

Since it is private land, it must be the royal family building a large-scale project here...

So, he really can't do anything about it.

He immediately said, "No need! No need!"

"However, after the houses here are built, we need to go to the Urban Construction Bureau to register the address and include it in the map. In the future, postal services, takeout, online shopping, etc. will have a specific delivery address."

The foreman nodded and said, "This is the employer's business. We just build the house for them."

The deputy director said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, after the house is built, you can call me and we will provide door-to-door service. We will register the address, measure the land, and issue the property certificate for you. We guarantee one-stop service!"

The foreman smiled and said, "How can we do that? You should just talk to our boss directly..."

The deputy director tried his best to shove his business card into the foreman's hand and said, "If you have any problems in the future, just contact me directly. We are friends. Don't be so formal!"

The foreman was also a social expert. He was delighted when he heard that. He tightly grasped the business card and said, "Then I'd better obey your command!"

"I'll let you know when this is finished!"

The deputy director was overjoyed and said quickly, "Of course! I'll wait for your communication!"

After saying that, he took his people back to the aircraft and took off.

All in all, it took less than five minutes, and they did not engage in the usual bad habits of harassing the public or extorting bribes that are common among institutions like them.

It seems that he is a good official who is honest and upright and capable of government affairs!
Even Quan Yuxun, who had been watching the live broadcast, felt that the deputy director of Mulan City's Urban Construction Bureau was really awesome.

And because it is so popular, the efficiency is particularly high.

It was so high that even Quan Yuxun, the right-hand man, didn't have a chance to ask who the "boss" behind that person was, because that person just left.

Without the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau standing in front, his right-hand assistant would not be able to muddy the waters behind the scenes.

So, it can only be left unresolved.

Of course, Quan Yuxun would not let his own people take the lead in investigating that "boss".

He sent a message to his assistant: Come back, no need to investigate.

It was just a spur of the moment thing.

That's no longer necessary.

The person behind this is most likely from the Tan Tai royal family.

Thinking of the behavior of Empress Tan Tai Zijun and her mother, Empress Dowager Li Fengen, Quan Yuxun no longer wanted to stay in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.

He didn't want to have direct contact with them.

There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening!
