At that moment, Loya found herself busy overseeing the training of dozens of aspiring chefs at the new branch of the Royal Gourmet Manor. Based on their progress, this group would graduate in just three days, signaling the imminent opening of the manor.
“Your Highness, I have already coordinated with the reporters for the manor’s upcoming interviews. The major media outlets in Beijing will also cover the grand opening,” Xiao Han reported, jotting down notes in her notebook.
“Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Han. The manor wouldn’t have come together so swiftly without your assistance.”
Loya beamed at Xiao Han, expressing her gratitude for the young lady’s invaluable support.
Blushing, Xiao Han covered half of her face with the notebook and replied, “I should be the one thanking you, Princess. Without you as an inspiration, I would probably still be preoccupied with selecting outfits and jewelry for the noble ladies’ tea parties. I wouldn’t have even considered working for the betterment of the empire’s people.”
Ever since Loya casually mentioned the idea of collaboration to this young lady from an aristocratic background, Xiao Han had wholeheartedly dedicated herself to this endeavor. Initially, Loya hadn’t held high expectations for the inexperienced young lady, but she turned out to be surprisingly capable.
Perhaps due to her upbringing in an aristocratic family and her exposure to numerous social events, Xiao Han possessed excellent interpersonal skills, surpassing Loya in that aspect. She successfully secured sponsors that even Loya, as a princess, might have struggled to obtain. Utilizing her status as the daughter of a duke, Xiao Han even managed to enlist the help of a few close friends from her social circle who had strong ties to the project.
With the connections of Xiao Han and the other noble ladies, the development of the Royal Gourmet Manor progressed smoothly. It not only resolved the manpower shortage but also adopted a joint-venture dividend model, with the royal family being the primary investor and providing project funding from the start.
“You truly are exceptional. Your negotiation skills are innate. No matter how difficult a sponsor may be, once you take charge, you effortlessly win them over!” Loya sincerely praised, her words coming straight from her heart.
Xiao Han beamed with joy upon receiving recognition from the princess. She eagerly made a promise to Loya, “Your Highness, you can count on me. With my involvement, the Royal Food Manor will undoubtedly flourish and continue to improve!”
Davies, the young insectoid, had been accompanying Zhou Ye on Planet Beijing for nearly a week. As Zhou Ye was occupied with his work at the bathhouse, Davies had no choice but to stay at the manor that Zhou Ye had purchased, under the care of Zhou Ye’s wife, Mi Lu.
Mi Lu had taken a liking to Davies, with his distinctive green hair, green eyes, and exquisite appearance. She often found herself wondering about his true form as an insectoid. After several months of interaction, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he didn’t resemble a Soft Beetle at all.
“What’s the matter?” Davies turned around and noticed Mi Lu staring at him once again. He couldn’t fathom why she found such interest in observing him.
After hesitating for a moment, Mi Lu finally mustered the courage to ask, “Davies, are you truly the future leader of the Soft Beetles?”
“It’s a misconception,” Davies replied indifferently, revealing his true form. “I’m not the future leader of any species. I am a Many-Feathered Butterfly.”
Mi Lu hadn’t expected Davies to not be the next leader of the Soft Beetles. Furthermore, she had never heard of a Many-Feathered Butterfly before; it was an entirely new type of insectoid that was absent from any literature she had encountered.
Observing Mi Lu’s surprised expression, Davies found it intriguing and decided to elaborate, “Haven’t you humans heard of the Many-Feathered Butterfly?”
Mi Lu shook her head. “Not only have I never heard of it, but humans, in general, have limited knowledge about the Zergs. We only possess information on a few known Zerg species. We are aware that the Zergs produce extraordinarily talented larvae every thousand years. These larvae enter the adolescent stage and undergo metamorphosis within cocoons. If they possess enough strength to break free from the cocoon, they emerge as mature beings and assume leadership roles within the Zergs.”
“You humans truly lack insight when it comes to the Zergs,” Davies commented, boredly flipping through the Al data prepared for him by Zhou Ye. After a short while, he stumbled upon news on the Star Web regarding the imminent opening of the Royal Food Manor branch.. “How about this? Take me there for a stroll, and afterward, I’ll share some details about myself with you!”
