Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262

After leaving the family, Li Mengyao felt a mix of disappointment, excitement, and melancholy. The family had already intervened and it was impossible for them not to use any measures.

Even though he had some idea about what they might do. But since they had agreed to let him handle it, they probably wouldn’t act this year, Li Mengyao could only think to himself.

Speaking of which, Li Mengyao didn’t want help from the family mostly because of his pride. He was already one step behind Xi Qianxue, and if the territory he developed wasn’t good enough and he needed more help from the family, wouldn’t that make him seem incompetent? Thus, he didn’t even plan to take the basic drawings funded by the family.

The confidence of Lin Mengyao came partly from her own abilities and partly because her teammates were about to break through to the fourth tier. At the same time, when building the territory, Xi Qianxue would certainly help too.

On this front, Li Mengyao had no worries about Xi Qianxue causing trouble; the tacit understanding between them was also a kind of mutual understanding. Causing trouble in this area would only be uncomfortable for herself.

Also, Du You had helped Xi Qianxue’s side before, so he definitely would help his own side.

Forget it, how could he always think about getting help from others, having corporate assistance is enough. Li Mengyao shook her head, deciding not to consider it.

Of course, another reason for declining family assistance was that these large families didn’t help others selflessly. The more the family helped, the more he would have to give back later. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Although the family doesn’t ask for much from her on the surface, what they want is to get more when Du You reaches the seventh tier. Even if it seems trivial for a seventh-tier master, it’s still important in a family.

Although the Li Family is also a powerful family, even ranking among those in the Asia Alliance, there hasn’t been anyone who reached the seventh tier. Within the Asia Alliance, it is rare for someone to reach the seventh tier.

After thinking for a whole day, the next day, Li Mengyao sought out Li Minglu.

"I need your help. I want to establish my own territory as soon as possible. My requirement is that the world has to be above the seventh tier. Go collect some information for me; I need documentation to build a territory."

Building a territory was not an easy task. Generally, before reaching the fourth tier, it’s easy to obtain your own territory once you’ve achieved the status of a noble lord in other worlds.

However, after reaching the fourth tier, this method of obtaining noble titles, and thus territories, became very difficult, and above fourth tier, it was impossible to gain territory this way. The best method was to directly overthrow an entrenched local power, which then would grant a piece of territory.

But the strength of the local forces can’t be too weak, in fact, it had to be stronger than one’s own, which inherently came with great risks. Moreover, such actions had a certain chance of success, it wasn’t guaranteed that conquering would bring a territory.

Otherwise, acquiring territories wouldn’t be such a hassle.

Hearing Li Mengyao’s words, Li Minglu hesitated, after all, the company wasn’t his own.

"Look, I understand your feelings, but the company’s resources can’t be misused."

"I’m not asking you to misuse them, just pay more attention to this kind of information for me. I really don’t want to rely on the family’s intelligence network; you know those old guys, they only care about the family’s interests."

Li Minglu wanted to say something else, but Li Mengyao interrupted him directly, "Don’t bring up useless things. If you can’t even handle this little thing, I’ll just have to find someone else." Hearing this, Li Minglu sighed helplessly.

"Alright, I’ll try," he said, while still thinking about the communication received from the family yesterday.

Although the family decided not to intervene, they still needed to give Li Minglu reminders. Even if Li Minglu was the general manager under Du You, he still came from a branch of the Li Family. Family pressure was substantial, and it was impossible for Li Minglu to completely ignore it. Indeed, just as the family had anticipated, Li Mengyao came to him.

After finishing, Li Mengyao left with a smile, bouncing away from the place.

As soon as Li Mengyao left, Li Minglu immediately contacted Du You. "What kind of issues can’t you solve that you need to talk to me at this time?" Du You said, somewhat bored, having rested at home for a few days and was indeed a bit bored.

Li Minglu quickly replied, "It’s , Li Mengyao just came to see me. She wants to build a territory and needs my help. What do you think we should do?" It’s still better to leave it to his boss to solve.

Du You paused, then understood. It seemed Xi Qianxue’s establishing a territory had brought too much pressure on Li Mengyao. Somehow, despite their good relationship, these two women always seemed to compete with each other. They had to outdo one another; otherwise, they wouldn’t stop. It would be strange if Li Mengyao was happy being left behind by Xi Qianxue.

Even though Li Mengyao had been helping throughout the establishment of Xi Qianxue’s territory.

Since coming back this time, Li Mengyao had always been somewhat huffy, Du You was certainly aware of it.

After thinking for a moment, Du You then said, "You still have to help, after all, she is your cousin. Look, as long as it doesn’t affect the territorial operations, just help her out."

With Du You’s word, Li Minglu felt relieved. "Don’t worry boss, I know what to do now."

After hanging up, both finished their communication, and Li Minglu got busy.

Although Li Mengyao was Li Minglu’s cousin that doesn’t mean they had much personal affection. However, Li Mengyao was from the main line of the family and now a greatly valued member of the family.

Though he had gained some status, he was still in a lower position within the family. The difference in their status was stark. Du You didn’t understand these internal matters and thought helping family was only natural.

With the pressure exerted by the family on Li Minglu, it was hard for him to bear. If not for Li Mengyao and Du You’s exceptional relationship, he wouldn’t have informed Du You at this time. In Li Minglu’s view, it would either harm the company’s interests or the family’s, being stuck in the middle was tough; he had a rough day yesterday.

Now with no worries and the boss’s support, what else to wait for? He went all out to help. With Li Minglu’s command, the entire company’s territories began to operate, and an unending stream of information was sent to headquarters.
