Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Confirming This Is Really My Real 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 is 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, the Garden World Feiyi Star, even many second-tier cities on 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 a 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 of 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…

There are several rooms behind the office. 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 available, 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 guidance 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 is wearing a decent military uniform, which modifies his tall figure. There is no additional decoration; the residence is also very simple, casual and simple, and even the color is quite monotonous.

The son in her memory was timid, always full of resentment, always looking up to others, and having no ability but conceited.

But what she saw at this moment was that he was successful, but calm and steady, with his own dignity and bearing.

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 is what my cousin gave me when she was here.”

He took the hot tea from his son and took a sip, but didn’t care about the taste of the tea.

She said to Gu Hang, “You didn’t like drinking 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 moment, and said, “I have changed a lot, right?”

“Yes, it’s been less than two years since you came out to train, and there have been such earth-shaking changes? If I had known earlier, I should have let you come out to train on your own.”

“It depends on the timing.” Gu Hang said, “I am also surprised at my own changes. In the few months on the road to Angry Owl Star, I seemed to have figured out a lot of things at once. Perhaps, this is the enlightenment mentioned in some legends.”

“Why couldn’t your epiphany come earlier…”

Gu Hang said calmly: “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 after I came to Angry Owl Star, the family really didn’t give me any support, 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 always seemed to 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 made her blood pressure rise a little.

This has always been the thing that disappointed her most about her son.

“Don’t be sarcastic when you speak. If you feel that I or my family are not good enough to you, just say it directly.”

Gu Hang laughed heartily, “I’m not being sarcastic. I’m just speaking frankly, aren’t I?”

“Oh, then just say it frankly. Why do you say ‘I also want to thank my mother’?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying thank you in a sarcastic way. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”

Now that it has come to this, Gu Hang’s attitude has become more frank.

He stared into his mother’s eyes and said earnestly:

“First of all, I want to thank you for giving me life in this body. This is the most important thing. Otherwise, I would not be standing here.”

“Secondly, I want to thank my family’s identity. Otherwise, no matter how dilapidated the Angry Owl Star is, no matter how much of a wasteland world it is, the position of governor will not fall on me. I will not ignore the help brought by the family’s identity.”

“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 should not need to thank you and your family for these things. After all, you were so opposed to me becoming the governor in the first place.”

“I started from scratch outside the city, in the wilderness. I have defeated raiders, eliminated deformed monsters, and killed rebels. I built factories and cities out of thin air and regained the original power of this planet. I should not need to thank you and your family for these.”

“I have wiped out the huge threats that have appeared on the planet, from heresy to greenskin natural disasters to the advent of demons; I led my army to the stars and killed the orc fleet commander; my loyal subordinates drove out the powerful demon Great Unclean One. For all these, I 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 let her down, and said calmly and firmly: “Look, the part that I need to thank, a cup of hot tea, a word of concern, an army sent out of concern for your safety, and close cooperation with the family caravan in the future, are they enough? I am expressing my gratitude with practical actions, and you will always be my mother.” “

But everything ends here.”

“For the reconstruction and development of Angry Owl Star, there are too many things that do not require you and your family to thank you. So, I think Angry Owl Star has little to do with Gu’s, and my relationship with Gu’s, except for the mother-son relationship with you, is not that big either.”

Wang Qi took a deep breath, staring at Gu Hang with a falcon-like gaze: “Are you going to sever your ties with the Gu’s? Don’t you want the position of the patriarch of the Gu’s family?”

Gu Hang was still frank: “Look, you didn’t seem to listen to what I said before. The mother-son relationship between you and me will not change. 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 the Gu’s? As for the identity of the patriarch of the Gu’s family you mentioned later… that’s another matter. You never intended to hand over the entire family to me right away. On the contrary, if you want to achieve your plan, my being the patriarch is your only choice.”

“In other words, mother, it was you who begged me to be the patriarch, not me.”

Wang Qi gritted his teeth: “This was your dream before!”

“But it’s not my current dream.” Gu Hang opened his arms. “I don’t want to talk to you about dreams, because that’s too big, like talking nonsense.”

Looking at her son who seemed to want to embrace the entire starry sky, Ms. Wang Qi was 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 was a person who had been ups and downs in the business world for decades, and she was the one who could keep the things left by her late husband and prevent them from being snatched away by 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 didn’t oppose your plan, and in order to ensure that the plan goes well and ensure your safety, I also sent troops.”

“Then you should be the governor of the Angry Owl Star. You can just 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 use 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. This is what I deserve.”

He meant something.

I am the nominal head of the family for you to manage things. Shouldn’t you pay me?

Wang Qi could understand it, 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.”

“Not too much.” Wang Qi retracted her hand, “Your cousin will lead a caravan again in the future. If you have any trade needs, go to her. After you build the star port, the Gu family caravan will list Angry Owl Star as a regular trade route; the Gu family caravan will give Angry Owl Star the most favorable trading partner treatment; you have the power of the head of the family, and you can use a private amount of 5 million tax coins every year. I won’t ask where this money is used. But if this money has a good return on investment, the relevant funding amount can be increased.”

Gu Hang’s eyes really lit up this time.

If nothing else, the funds of 5 million tax coins a year are a huge benefit!

The tax that Angry Owl Star has to pay in a year is just this much!

He is now sure that this is really his biological mother!

The biological mother said, “Come on, have lunch with me. I’ll visit your territory in the afternoon.”

…

The lunch was very sumptuous, with a lot of precious ingredients and fine wines that were not produced on the Angry Owl Star.

Gu Hang could recall that basically everything was what his predecessor loved to eat.

During dinner, the mother and son chatted some more.

It was not just idle chat, they didn’t have so many topics, and they mainly revolved around the family’s situation.

Gu Hang provided some insights.

After dinner, the old mother also left the cook and a cabin of ingredients for him, hoping that he could eat something good in the future.

It would take some time for the 30,000 soldiers who followed their mother to board the ship.

During the process of the army boarding the ship, Gu Hang took Ms. Wang Qi to visit the factory in Weixing City, and took Jason Morgan, the provincial head, on the Feng Falcon and quickly went to the Beiqing Valley Province, flying low over a large field.

All this on the Angry Owl Star made Ms. Wang Qi’s eyes shine.

If seeing the orderly Fuxing City before made her feel at ease, then seeing the factories in Weixing City that were not large in scale but were steadily producing industrial products and munitions; and seeing the 200 million mu of farmland that had been reclaimed or was about to be reclaimed in Beiqinggu Province, just with a businessman’s awareness, she could quickly figure out that Angry Owl Star had huge potential.

In addition to the investment awareness of a businessman, a more instinctive emotion came to her heart involuntarily:

pride!

Although her son had said a lot of nonsense that had nothing to do with her and the Gu family, but… he was her son! She would naturally do so when she saw these achievements.

Her son had changed, and he couldn’t be better.
