Chapter 54: Making A Scene
On the bright side, with Xin Yunze arranging people to collect evidence and sort out data in detail, and with Ye Zhen’s help, he believes that the information will definitely be presented to Su Mingyu accurately, as for his inner thoughts, even as President, he can’t be so scrupulous.
After all, it is much better to secretly hand the matter over to Su Mingyu than to directly reveal it in front of the Congress and slap Su Mingyu in the face.
This is also an opportunity, with such a big issue, they can test Su Mingyu to see how deep his prejudice against the Ye family is.
However, since Ye Heng was already in the commercial star, it was inconvenient for him to take the initiative to do something, but he could be ‘forced’ to take action.
On the second day of coming to the commercial star, Yuan Xi and Ye Heng officially started purchasing.
Unlike when they first came here, they became very high-profile.
Learning their lesson from last night’s incident, they first spent a lot of money to hire eight bodyguards to follow them anytime and anywhere. The skills of these eight bodyguards are very good and they are very remarkable, rarely seen in Blue Star, and within this commercial planet, each of them would be within the top hundred.
With these eight big guys surrounding, what does that mean? It meant that first and foremost, they were very rich, second, they were very, very rich, and third, they were very, very, very rich.
Of course, many were greedy for the money they had on them, but no one wanted to provoke them due to the bodyguards surrounding them.
They also showed other people what it means to spend money, they lived in the most high-end presidential suite where it cost 100,000 credits for one night, and only the most expensive food and drink were ordered, as for the taste… Yuan Xi said that it was so-so.
When they went out for a walk, since they had eight bodyguards with them, Yuan Xi thought that it would be too cheap to rent an aircraft again so he simply spent a million credits to buy a private one, they also spent money to hire a professional driver so they could enjoy their trips.
With the pomp and grandeur they displayed in just a day, even in this commercial star where the wealthy live, it was enough to attract the attention of others. They were spending millions of credits in minutes, which is not something that ordinary nouveau riche can do, this type of wealth is a real tyrant!
Therefore, everyone’s gaze at Ye Heng and Yuan Xi became more and more complicated, some looked up to them, some looked down on them and even despised them, some were envious, some were always flattering them, and of course… Some hide in the shadows and observe with ill intentions.
Yuan Xi has never squandered money like this in his life, although compared to Ye Heng’s wave of a hand where 200 billion will be gone, what he spent was simply a drizzle… But…… The situation is different, that time was really not as eye-catching as it is now, and he was being watched like this.
It’s impossible to say that he doesn’t feel pain in his heart, but it doesn’t hurt that much either, if they want to attract the attention of the real masterminds, they need to do this. How can they make those people take the bait if they don’t make a big scene?
Fortunately, their new identities have been prepared very thoroughly, and they are not afraid of people going passed the thick walls just to check carefully.
Yuan Xi and Ye Heng’s new identity are farmers who run a million-acre farm in a seventh-level resource star, which is enough for them to throw money around.
They were just from the farm that their parents had allowed them to take over, and their experience is relatively shallow, they belong to the rich second generation who are rich but not too powerful.
They have opened up their connections on their own resource stars very smoothly, but for the entire federation, that bit of power is very weak. Plus, they were just relying on their own money and hiring some powerful thugs, if they thought that they could rest easy then they were wrong. With such a background, and coupled with their temperament, they are big fat sheep among the big fat sheep.
They already planned to come here and buy equipment in large quantities, since Yuan Xi and Ye Heng were planning to lure the snake into the hole, they had to use a bait that was the largest and most tempting, enough to make them willing to take risks and be seduced.
Therefore, hundreds of billions of equipment purchases are undoubtedly the biggest temptation, and the aroma emitted is enough to make people crazy.
To achieve a realistic effect, Ye Heng and Yuan Xi deliberately made another layer of disguise according to the original plan, so that people did not know their real purchase target and the amount purchased.
This layer of disguise is very clever, only those who have connections can find out the truth if they seriously investigate so that they will not be too suspicious of them.
What could be more convincing than the secret you’ve worked so hard to discover?
In fact, the more they investigated, the deeper they fell, no matter how much Ye Heng wrapped a net around them, they would only get into it with full confidence.

Although he and Ye Heng acted in a good show all the way, Yuan Xi felt that the trip was also eye-opening.
There are countless machines and equipment for growing on the farm, and there is even a complete set of equipment that is done from start to finish, from sowing to harvesting, without needing anyone to help.
However, this kind of equipment has a drawback, it requires a special equipment installer to go through on-site inspections, and it is also tailor-made, not only that, it also needs a long time of deployment work before the official start-up. These work cycles will take about half a year! Moreover, the price is extremely expensive, and regular maintenance can only be done by a person who is familiar with the equipment when it is used in the future.
Overall, the price and performance ratio is not too high.
There were some automatic seeders, automatic rice transplanters, automatic irrigation, automatic harvesting, and other equipment, they were all very simple and easy to operate, and as long as the energy supply was sufficient, there was no need to worry.
Naturally, the price here was much cheaper, only the seeder and harvester were more expensive while the others were between 20 million and 30 million credits.
Seeders and harvesters went to as high as 80 million to 100 million.
Yuan Xi felt that it was very painful when he bought the seeder… This seeder is 80 million credits worth, and although the efficiency is hundreds of times that of manpower, it can be responsible for the sowing of 10,000 acres of land, but it also needs a lot of energy and time.
Although Yuan Xi has not used the farmer’s gloves specifically, based on his previous experience, it may be much easier to use than these devices.
But this ability is still just a secret after all, and it can’t really be used, thinking of this, Yuan Xi couldn’t help but sigh a little.
Fortunately, before coming over, Ye Heng had already planned what equipment to purchase, and the brand, price, and quantity had already been referenced, so there was no need to waste time here this time.
But even so, because the purchased quantity is too large, the inventory of one store is not so much, so the entire planting equipment area is also run through, and finally, all the things they needed to buy were bought.
As originally planned, of the 298.4 billion funds, only a fraction of it remains… This fraction is not 400 million, but a pitiful 30 million…
Compared with the previous 300 billion- this 30 million showed how poor they were!
After finishing the transactions, Ye Heng saw that Yuan Xi was in low spirits so he took him around again.
Yuan Xi was inevitably dazzled again, and when he walked to a kitchenware store, he couldn’t even move his legs- there were pots and pans that were bigger than those in the kitchen of the Benlei.
With this thing… he can fry thousands of dishes at once!
Thinking about this again, he thought of the greedy little spatula in his iron box, and suddenly felt itchy in his heart, this guy wants to eat a thousand plates at a time, if he can have this cauldron, won’t he be able to feed the small spatula at once?
Yuan Xi’s heart was moved, but the next moment, he glanced at the price with his eyes, and his hopes collapsed immediately.
Ah, it cost five million credits! Lao Tzu would have to sell the farm to have this much money! What a tragedy!
Ah, forget it, it’s not necessary to buy it, as long as he can go to the Benlei, he can borrow their tools when the time comes, and he can make a thousand dishes a day, and it’s also very fast if he does it like this…
Thinking like this, Yuan Xi turned his head and prepared to leave.
Before he left, he heard Ye Heng’s voice sound, “Please deliver it to this address.”
Yuan Xi blinked- he was very familiar with these words as the two of them had been talking to multiple sellers for a while, because they were buying very large equipment, and it was impossible to carry it with them, they left the address of the ship (this address refers to their starship docked in the commercial starport), and the seller will be responsible for transporting the equipment to the starship.
Ye Heng actually bought the cauldron.
Yuan Xi looked at him and said, “This… You…”
Ye Heng smiled at him and said, “Don’t worry, it’s my private money.”
Yuan Xi was speechless for a moment, and although he felt a little wasteful, his mood suddenly became very good, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise. When he realized that he was smiling, he suddenly felt a little wrong, how is this rush so similar to the idol dramas he watched before, where the domineering male protagonist waved his hand and bought xxx cars for the female protagonist, and then smiled, “One is for you, and the other one is for your parents.”
Ahem, ahem…
Yuan Xi, who had over-supplemented his brain, quickly came back to his senses and comforted himself, it was still very different… In idol dramas, how can the male protagonist send the other a pot? And which male protagonist will take the initiative to explain that he was using his private money?!
And he’s not a woman! So, well, there were still a lot of differences!
Besides, he is not a stingy person, the next time he sees Ye Heng has something he likes, he will definitely take the initiative to buy it for him!
Thinking about it like this, Yuan Xi’s heart became much brighter.
After buying this cauldron, Yuan Xi’s gray mood these days because of the medicine finally lightened a little, and because their main tasks were done, he thought about bringing some gifts to Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun, the foodie-five, as well as Zhao Zhao and Xiao Yuan Zhe.
So he and Ye Heng walked around for another two hours, during which Yuan Xi kept paying attention, wanting to see what Ye Heng liked, but after secretly looking at him for a long time, he didn’t find anything he was interested in.
After a moment of thought, Yuan Xi thought of Ye Heng’s family background, and suddenly felt that with these things in front of him, what he wanted was not something that could be obtained at will, so where would he be interested? How could he repay him then?
Thinking about it like this, Yuan Xi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, this thought just appeared, and he quickly shook his head and waved it out of his head.
The gifts were all bought, and when he was back to the hotel, Yuan Xi passed by a clothing store and paused slightly.
It’s a very special clothing store with the name ‘Just For You’. This is a tailor-made clothing design shop, so the clothes are unique, and fully in line with the buyer’s body temperament and appearance characteristics, there are tailor-made clothes designed and created by special people.
It is very famous, and there are many chain stores throughout the Federation, correspondingly, the clothes sold were also very expensive, at least in poor places like Blue Star, this brand cannot be found at all.
However, it wasn’t those delicate clothes that interested Yuan Xi, he saw this shop and suddenly remembered that he had not yet activated the sewing technique that might be of great use…
In this era, the pursuit of clothing has been reincarnated countless times, and after the new trend, the materials of various clothes are even more varied, and the production methods have changed many times, but after all, it is still the same clothes that people wear, and the general direction has not changed.
Therefore, if Yuan Xi wants to practice sewing, it is a good choice to visit this store.
Seeing that Yuan Xi was hesitating, Ye Heng said, “It’s still early, do you want to go in and have a look?”
Yuan Xi nodded and went in with him.
As soon as he walked in, he was warmly received, with one-to-one service, considerate and thoughtful. Yuan Xi responded perfunctorily. How could he say that he was here to see how to make clothes and that he did not intend to buy clothes at all?
After walking around, Yuan Xi couldn’t help but be a little disappointed, this is a very mature clothing store, and although it is tailor-made for people, it will not be done in the store, so his little desire to observe was hopeless.
However, since it doesn’t seem to be good to leave without buying anything, Yuan Xi used his own money to buy Ye Heng and himself a set of new clothes, although their appearances are different, Ye Heng is still very good-looking.
Yuan Xi couldn’t help but think of a sentence born from his observations- even if he became much more ordinary-looking, as long as Ye Heng didn’t deliberately hide his momentum, he was still very eye-catching.
The result of this change of clothes is that the girls in the clothing store would flirt with Ye Heng from time to time… Yuan Xi’s face was unconsciously a little unsightly.
Ye Heng approached him and asked with a smile, “Jealous?”
Yuan Xi nodded vigorously, “Of course.”
“Why are you so honest today?”
Yuan Xi was angry, “It’s obvious that my clothes are more handsome, and I look more handsome, why do they all look at you? It’s not fair! ”
Ye Heng raised his eyebrows and said with delight in his eyes, “Xiao-Xi, sometimes the hardware is more important. ”
“What hardware?” If it was before, he could understand since Ye Heng walked with that beautiful face and was always watched by people, but now, they have both changed faces, and objectively speaking, Yuan Xi’s face is much better than Ye Heng’s!
Ye Heng paused for a moment before he said lightly, “For example… Height.”
Yuan Xi: This was an arrow to the knee.
The armor can change their appearance, but it can’t increase their height.
*
Tomorrow, they were leaving the commercial star, and the scene they’ve been setting up has reached the final stage.
Until now there has been no movement, Yuan Xi still felt a little doubt in his heart, not to mention, he is quite worried that the fish would not be hooked, one must know that the bait he cast in order to catch this fish was quite expensive, if he can’t catch it, it will be a great loss.
He couldn’t help but mention it to Ye Heng.
Ye Heng hooked the corners of his mouth and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll see tomorrow.”
Seeing that Ye Heng was so confident, Yuan Xi was also relieved.
He was still a little nervous as he had never done this before and although he had this invincible arbitrary muscle, he was still afraid that he would panic and something bad would happen.
So on this last night, Yuan Xi worked hard to study the armor, and even Ye Heng was dragged by him as he asked many questions.
Ye Heng has always been patient with Yuan Xi so he answered his questions one by one, no matter how big or small, he felt that they were being intimate.
In the end, Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed, although he was still a little confused, he still let Ye Heng rest early because it was already midnight, and he also deliberately cooked and made a grand supper as compensation for Ye Heng.
The next day, when they were about to leave the commercial star. Yuan Xi felt nervous, just waiting for the inevitable, but the person hidden was very calm, without the slightest movement.
Yuan Xi deliberately sent all eight bodyguards away, but there was still no movement.
He couldn’t hold his breath even more, “We’re about to board the ship, and they still won’t do anything?”
Ye Heng said in a deep voice, “It seems that their power is much greater than we thought.”
Yuan Xi was stunned and looked at Ye Heng with some confusion.
Ye Heng didn’t explain to him, just said, “Let’s go, the show is ahead.”
