Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

As Su Qingyue finished speaking, the fervent atmosphere that had just ignited at the dinner table was instantly extinguished, as if doused with a bucket of ice water.

The women, who were counting on their fingers to divide the "stolen money," froze in unison.

Yes.

The plan sounds amazing, but what if the Third Prince on the other side isn't a fool?

What if he doesn't fall for it?

At the dinner table, even Shen Qinghe stopped eating.

All eyes were now focused on Lin Mo.

Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

Then he uttered a single word lightly from his mouth.

"kill."

The sound wasn't loud, but it made several people in the room tense up instantly.

"Clatter".

Shen Qinghe dropped one of her chopsticks onto the table and hurriedly went to pick it up.

Gu Meng'er subconsciously shrank closer to her sister, her little face turning pale.

Su Qingyue looked at Lin Mo with a worried expression, her lips moved but she hesitated to speak.

Only Qin Ruxue's eyes shone brightly.

Lin Mo glanced at everyone, realizing that his words had been too direct and had scared the little white rabbits at home.

He quickly changed to a more relaxed tone.

"Ahem, what I mean is, lies will be exposed sooner or later."

"We lied to him to buy him time to develop, not to play house with him."

"Therefore, we must prepare for the worst."

Lin Mo's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.

What is the worst-case scenario to prepare for?

Lin Mo asked and answered his own question.

"This letter was sent out, but it was completely useless. The Third Prince's paranoia kicked in, and he sent even more and stronger men to turn Blackwind City upside down and find out exactly what happened."

"These are things we can't control."

"I agree!"

Qin Ruxue was the first to break the silence. She straightened her chest, and the breathtaking curve made Lin Mo a little dizzy.

She exuded a strong fighting spirit.

"Hesitating will only hasten our demise! If they dare to come, we'll bury them!"

Qin Ruxue slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"My husband, just tell me what to do!"

"Therefore, we can't just wait for 'investment' to come to us; we also need to tap into our own internal potential."

Lin Mo looked at Qin Ruxue and nodded approvingly.

As expected of his second wife, she has a bit of a temper, but her awareness is really high. She's a pure hawk and never lets you down when it matters.

He cleared his throat, feeling that he was becoming more and more competent as the "Chairman of the Lin Group".

"Tilted Moon".

Su Qingyue immediately sat up straight.

"You will continue to be in charge of overall coordination within the government. This is our stronghold, our foundation. We absolutely cannot afford to be in disarray at home."

Su Qingyue nodded solemnly. This was her forte and the area where she felt most at ease.

Lin Mo's gaze then turned to Qin Ruxue.

"Ru Xue, your KPI is here."

"Open...open your ass?"

Qin Ruxue was taken aback upon hearing this.

What's this called?

It sounds like an insult.

"It's the task target."

Lin Mo gave a casual explanation.

"I need you to expand our Lin family's elite force from the current one hundred men to three hundred men within a month, and they must be absolutely loyal."

Qin Ruxue's eyes lit up instantly, as if a flame had been ignited.

"Three hundred people? No problem! But... what about the money?"

"Food for people, fodder for horses, weapons and armor... all of this requires a lot of money."

"Ask our CFO about money."

Lin Mo tilted his chin towards Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi immediately understood and nodded.

"No problem, our existing business profits are more than enough to support these."

"very good."

Lin Mo gave Liu Yiyi a thumbs up, then turned to look at Gu Ling'er, who was beaming with excitement.

"Ling'er, as our CTO, Chief Technology Officer, you have the heaviest responsibility."

"What mission? Is it to develop the 'Buddha's Wrath Lotus'?"

Gu Ling'er waved her chopsticks excitedly, her eyes shining.

Lin Mo's lips twitched.

Why don't you mention the two-dimensional foil instead of the Buddha's wrathful lotus?

"No." He shook his head.

"We can't build something that complicated in a short time."

"What we need now is something tangible, something that can be seen and touched, something that can immediately become a fighting force."

"Therefore, I need you to produce as many Thunderfire Bombs as possible in the shortest amount of time, the more the better, and the simpler to use the better."

"Thunderbolt Fireball?"

Gu Ling'er blinked her big eyes.

"That's easy! Just give me enough materials, as much as I need! I guarantee they'll be crying for their parents!"

"Okay, ask your third sister for the materials."

"yeah!"

Gu Ling'er excitedly jumped off the chair and ran to Liu Yiyi's side like a gust of wind. She grabbed Liu Yiyi's arm and rubbed against her affectionately, while frantically reciting the names of the dishes.

"Third sister, third sister, my dear third sister! I need 500 catties of saltpeter, 300 catties of the finest sulfur, 100 catties of smokeless willow charcoal, some tung oil, some strong fire oil, and also, I need a batch of iron ore, copper ore, flint..."

Liu Yiyi was being pestered by Gu Ling'er, and helplessly held her forehead.

"Okay, okay, I got it, you little money-grubber. Write me a list later and I'll help you figure something out."

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to the quiet Gu Meng'er.

"Meng'er, your task is to continue making the pastries from the Myriad Realms Dessert Recipe, mainly focusing on the Mighty Vajra Cake and the Wind-Chasing Osmanthus Cake. Once you're done, have them delivered directly to Tianxin Pavilion."

"Also, don't overwork yourself, and focus on taking good care of the baby in your belly."

Gu Meng'er blushed slightly, then nodded obediently.

"Yes, I understand, my husband."

Lin Mo's space already contained a lot of Mighty Vajra Cakes and Wind-Chasing Osmanthus Cakes, all of which Gu Meng'er had made before.

These pastries won't spoil if stored in the system space.

These two pastries, once eaten, can make one person temporarily stronger and the other can make one run incredibly fast.

Although they are all time-limited, they are absolutely game-changing tools in critical moments.

After arranging all that, Lin Mo's gaze finally fell on Shen Qinghe, who had been trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.

"Sixth Sister-in-law".

Lin Mo cleared his throat.

Shen Qinghe trembled, like a startled fawn, and raised her head.

"As the spokesperson for our newly established 'External Liaison Department,' your work is also very important."

Shen Qinghe was stunned.

To...the External Liaison Department?

What is that?

"You need to continue studying Chen Guang's handwriting until you can do it effortlessly."

"If we have any further business dealings with Beijing in the future, you will be fully responsible for them."

"I...I tried my best."

Shen Qinghe's voice was barely audible, but her heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

So much happened today.

From the moment Lin Mo led her by the hand towards Dingbei Prefecture, Shen Qinghe felt as if she had embarked on a thrilling and exciting adventure.

This feeling of walking on the edge of danger both frightened her and... made her uncontrollably addicted.

Looking at the room full of beautiful women, all fired up and eager to get started, Lin Mo felt a surge of emotion.

This is simply a dream team!

There is a CEO (himself) who is responsible for strategic deception.

There is a CFO (Liu Yiyi) responsible for finance and business model.

There is a COO (Qin Ruxue) in charge of armed forces and security.

There's also a crazy scientist, CTO (Gu Ling'er), in charge of technology research and development.

Even the logistics and administration staff (Su Qingyue) and the support staff (Gu Meng'er) who provides buffs to the team are all in place.

As for Shen Qinghe, who didn't say much throughout the process but provided the core "copying technology".

Ok……

What's the abbreviation for the Department of External Relations again?
