Chapter: 6519

In his view, since Helena could obtain such miraculous medicine, as long as he maintained good relations with her, there would be opportunities to get more from her in the future.

Helena knew Howard was plotting something, but she also knew that whether Howard could get more elixir in the future depended on whether he could make Li Chen satisfied.

At this moment, Li Chen wasn't paying attention to Howard at all; they four finished their private conversation and came to the control center where technical personnel from both sides were connecting, listening as they discussed professional issues and demonstrated AI model operations. Although Li Chen didn't understand it, he listened very seriously because he knew that this represented the cutting-edge production capacity of today and the direction of future development.

The evening in Northern Europe was quite early; by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it had already become pitch black outside. Helena invited Howard to a royal banquet at the palace, so she left the data center and returned to the palace to prepare, while Howard also left first to return to his hotel to get ready.

Li Chen and the others pretended to be technical personnel, so they naturally couldn't follow Helena back directly; besides, there were no other arrangements for that evening. They decided to stay at the site and observe.

Howard went straight to his son Steve's room in the hotel after returning from the data center.

Steve was currently botheredly smoking a cigar in a large room, having just returned from America two days ago and then being dragged here by his grandfather.

His grandfather brought him here solely for nothing; whenever he had something to do, he didn't bring Steve along.

This made Steve feel very anxious, and he also sensed that his father must have come here with some intention, not needing his company or help; bringing him here meant he didn't want him to stay in America alone.

Realizing this point, Steve knew what was going on in his mind; from now on, he would definitely not be able to stay in America for a long time because, in his father's eyes, he had already become a threat. Therefore, the best approach would be to leave as much as possible and ensure at least half of each year away from America. This way, his father could rest assured.

Steve understood one principle: since he was the "Crown Prince," it was impossible for him to succeed in overthrowing his father; the best choice was to follow his father's intentions and even proactively do what his father wanted him to do, but without opening his mouth. This way, his father could relax and not develop any unfavorable emotions towards him.

As long as I can take this step and maintain it for a long time, my inheritance will not be shaken, and my father will eventually hand over the reins. As long as I continue to make him satisfied, by the time his physical strength no longer allows him to bear the responsibility of being the family head, I will surely be able to smoothly take over.

Thinking about these things afterwards, Steve may have felt a bit gloomy, but then he thought that he could just tell his father that he intends to go outside and gain some experience, on one hand making his father feel at ease, and on the other hand also finding Li Yuechun in China.

The next step will depend on whether I can propose going outside for experience to my father, and whether he agrees to let me go to China.

Just then, Steve heard the doorbell ring. He put on a robe and walked out to the entrance, took a look through the indoor monitoring device, and discovered that his father was standing at the door. He quickly opened the door and said respectfully: "Father, when did you get back?"

Howard said, "I just got back and came looking for you."

As he spoke, Howard looked Steve up and down, saying: "Steve, hurry up and take a bath and change into some formal clothes. Tonight, I'll be going with you to the royal banquet in Northern Europe, where the Queen of Northern Europe will be hosting us."

Upon hearing that the Queen of Northern Europe wanted to invite his father and him for dinner, Steve was not surprised; he knew that the Queen was Li Yuechun's white glove, and inviting guests to dinner would also be Li Yuechun's intention.

Therefore, he deliberately asked: "Father, this time you're going to Northern Europe, is it to establish a deep cooperation with the royal family?"

"More or less," Howard nodded slightly and said casually: "Northern Europe still has great development prospects, and I hope to deepen our cooperation with them. Who knows, maybe there will be opportunities for us to marry into their families in the future."

Steve thought to himself: "Marry into their families? You're pulling my leg, you're not even thinking about marrying them."

However, he didn't say much and nodded slightly before saying to Howard: "Father, I have an idea and hope you can support it."

Howard asked curiously: "What's your idea? Please go ahead and tell me."

Steve said sincerely: "Father, for so many years, I've rarely left the United States and feel that I don't understand the world situation well enough. In the future, I want to spend at least half a year abroad every year to gain more experience, which means I might not be able to pay attention to American affairs as much, and you and other family members will have to bear with me. Can you agree?"
