Chapter 506 As expected
Eric pondered for a moment and answered the phone.
The tone of voice was very respectful.
After all, as the head of the Windsor family, William should be treated with due respect.
But in Eric's heart, William had been labeled as a fool.
He felt that the Windsor family was a family that could be manipulated and controlled at will.
No wonder Mr. Wilson set his sights on them.
Many families only see the outward appearance they show.
I thought they were very powerful.
But they have no brains, so they can be easily deceived.
It’s just that other families haven’t discovered this.
Only old man Wilson noticed it.
Eric felt that he still had a lot to learn.
If he wants to have a fight with Mr. Wilson, he probably still has a long way to go.
"Master William, do you have anything to talk to me about?"
Eric's clear voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
William felt a little embarrassed.
He suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation.
It would seem a bit hasty to ask right away.
So he racked his brains to come up with a roundabout way of saying something.
"How are the arrangements for your wedding going? I asked Kasa today, but he didn't know anything. The banquet is going to be held in a few days, so I thought I'd call and ask."
Hear William's lame excuse.
He couldn't even speak complete sentences and spoke haltingly.
Eric didn't care, but answered seriously.
"Everything is almost ready. I have already taken care of the Windsor family. There will definitely not be any problems."
William breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Eric's words.
In fact, this wedding is also very important to them.
After all, this is the first time that the Windsor family has received so many aristocratic families.
If these aristocratic families could see that the Windsor family also has its merits.
Maybe future interactions will be smoother.
But William really can't think too much about these things in his mind now.
After all, cooperation with the Wilson family is the top priority.
"By the way, Eric, has your grandfather told you recently that we are going to develop and utilize new energy sources?"
The topic shifted directly to business.
Eric knew that this was the time William wanted to actually call him to ask.
Eric has no idea how to develop and utilize new energy.
Just now, Mr. Wilson didn't tell them what kind of project they were promoting this time.
I guess they are also on guard against him.
Eric sneered.
Since I want him to push this project forward.
Then you should tell him everything.
Instead of hiding everything from him.
So how should he respond?
He could have said he had no idea.
But he was angry in his heart, and Eric could never joke about these things.
After all, he also wanted to dig out more information about the project from William.
So that Alex's company can successfully intercept their project.
"Oh, the old man mentioned it to me, but I didn't take it too seriously."
"After all, you know I've been so busy preparing for the wedding lately that I don't have time to take care of these things."
After hearing Eric's words, William felt a little disappointed.
What's the big deal about a wedding? You can just hold it casually.
In fact, the essence behind it is simply the union of two families.
Although this superficial effort must be done, we must also distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
"Well, why don't you go ask the old man about this project? He told me something, but I really don't understand it."
"You also know that when you come to the Windsor family, you will be the one in charge of this family. So I think it is necessary for you to understand these things."
Eric raised the corners of his lips when he heard William's words.
"So that's how it is. It's a collaboration between the Windsor family and the Wilson family."
William on the other end didn't know why Eric had to repeat what he said, but he still nodded seriously.
"But with my identity, I feel like what I say is not very good."
Eric pretended to be hesitant.
William understood the hidden meaning of Eric's words.
In fact, his IQ is not very high, but he is not stupid.
Of course he knew what Eric meant.
Eric was afraid that William would not trust him after he offered his opinions and suggestions on the project.
And after the Windsor family.
If there was any cooperation related to the Wilson family, William might have some doubts about Eric's words.
"How could that be? Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the ones you doubt. Uncle, since I'm calling you, I must trust you."
William now has to dispel Eric's concerns.
Otherwise, how could Eric be willing to think about this for him?
And Eric is a member of the Wilson family after all.
Even though William said this, he did have other thoughts in his mind.
It was impossible for him to listen to Eric completely.
"Then wait a minute. I'll go talk to Mr. Wilson about this project. Don't worry, I'll tell you the truth."
After hearing Eric's words, William had no choice but to agree.
He originally thought that Eric already knew about this matter.
That's why he called to seek advice.
But Eric was totally unaware of this.
But now if Eric rashly went to Mr. Wilson to inquire about this project.
Mr. Wilson would surely know that he didn't trust him.
What if Mr. Wilson gets angry?
William had no choice but to bite the bullet and instruct Eric.
"It's better not to tell the old man that I'm the one asking you about this, okay?"
Listening to William's cautious words, Eric began to laugh out loud in his heart.
It was obvious that the old man had known all this and had anticipated this scene.
William wanted to cover it up even more.
Little did he know that everything he did was under the control of the old man.
It is even possible that the people he questioned were already hidden spies planted by the old man.
The purpose is to make him believe that there is absolutely no problem with this project and prevent him from understanding the specific content.
But Eric didn't care about that. He actually wanted to know the specific content of the project.
I heard William mention the word new energy.
Eric was already on high alert.
After all, the Windsor family is famous for energy.
Why did the old man encourage them to develop new energy?
What kind of twists and turns are involved?
What kind of interests exist?
"Of course I understand these, Master William. You can still rest assured that I will do my job."
William thought it was best this way and hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.
After hanging up the phone, Eric did not go to find Mr. Wilson immediately.
He knew it was time to stretch.
Whether it's the old man's side or William's side.
He can't be too proactive.
After all, he is a spy now, and he belongs to neither category.
So you must be careful and cautious when doing things.
But Eric called Alex first.
In his own bedroom, Eric felt relatively at ease.
Eric's calls have been quite frequent these days, and Alex frowned slightly.
In fact, if Eric and his grandmother hadn't been so useful to him.
Alex had already stopped paying attention to them.
Eric has been in Wilson Manor for such a long time.
Didn't bring back any useful information.
During these games with the Wilson family.
They have always been at a disadvantage.
Although a few projects were completed quite well with the help of the old lady.
But it was far from what he had expected.
Eric is not very useful, and the plans he has proposed now seem a little far-fetched.
It would be best if it could have a huge impact.
If it is really useless, he plans to give up Eric as a chess piece.
After all, Alex is not a philanthropist, he can't throw his money into it and let it go to waste.
"Grandpa Alex, I have some big news to share with you. I know what project the Windsor and Wilson families are going to collaborate on. They want to develop new energy sources."
Hearing what Eric said, this was a novel topic.
Alex suddenly wanted to listen more.
"Do you know what their project specifically involves?"
Alex's question stumped Eric.
Eric had just learned the news, so he immediately told Alex about it.
I hope he can be more vigilant and find some clues.
In fact, even if he discussed this project with Mr. Yao, the old man would not tell him too much inside information.
William looked like he knew nothing.
Eric paused.
"I don't quite understand the specifics of this project yet, and I think given Mr. Wilson's cautious nature, he wouldn't tell William everything. There must be some hidden traps."
Of course Alex understood what Eric said.
Old man Wilson is too shrewd in business, even to the point of being unscrupulous.
Business rivals who compete with him usually don't have a good ending.
He was also one step behind in the competition among the aristocratic families at that time, which led to his current situation.
But these are not the words he wants to hear now.
Eric was working as a spy for the Wilson family, not for the Windsor family.
He only understood what William was talking about.
He had to know what exactly Mr. Wilson's plan was.
"If you ask Old Wilson now, will you be able to get specific information?"
Eric felt a little serious when he heard Alex's tone.
He had never seen Alex like this before.
I guess this plan is really important.
Eric thought so in his heart.
"I think it's very likely that the old man won't tell me these things, because he's not sure if I will turn against him at the last minute."
After all this talk, there is actually no way to find out any specific information.
Alex is now very disappointed with Eric.
He felt that this move he made was completely wrong.
Investing so much energy and resources in their family.
The result was like carrying water in a bamboo basket.
But Alex still needs to stabilize Eric for the time being.
After all, he is joining the House of Windsor.
In fact, it is also a help to them.
Whatever old man Wilson can do, the Hashemite family can do as well.
If they could obtain the Windsor family's property in advance, then a reversal would occur in an instant.
"Please try to find out as much as you can. I will also try to find some clues here."
Alex hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
Eric was not given a chance to continue the conversation.
Eric listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, and a sense of confusion suddenly flashed through his mind.
He felt that the development of things was suddenly out of his control and something was not right.
He didn't know Alex very well.
I only heard a little bit of information about him from his grandmother.
His grandmother had blind trust in this man.
So before, Eric never felt that he had any thoughts or suspicions.
But judging from what happened today.
He couldn't understand or grasp Alex's emotions and thoughts.
But now that he is on the pirate ship, it is not possible to withdraw just because he wants to.
On the other hand, Meng Yingnian found that Yu Zhi was always nervous when he slept at night.
And the whole person is in a tense state.
It was completely different from the comfortable look before.
Even beside him, Yu Zhi's brows were tightly furrowed.
Meng Yingnian felt something was wrong.
It just reminds me of what Cheng Man said before.
Meng Yingnian felt that this matter might have become a knot in Yu Zhi's heart.
So he didn't think about it in other ways.
I just want to help him solve the confusion of foreknowledge.
Come together the next morning.
As soon as Yu Zhi opened his eyes, he saw Meng Yingnian's worried look.
"Does that shop owner have such a big influence on you?"
Yu Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he heard Meng Yingnian's words.
That was just an excuse he and Cheng Man came up with.
In fact, he had already forgotten about that incident.
It's just a dog looking down on others.
If only this could have such a big impact on him.
He really doesn't have to do anything.
But he couldn't tell Meng Yingnian the truth about his fear.
So I can only swallow my anger and bear it.
"It's actually okay, just a little stressful. After all, I'm unfamiliar with this place."
Yu Zhi was frantically looking for excuses, but these excuses all sounded a bit outrageous to him.
"Call Cheng Man out. Let's go to the mall again today. There must be a reasonable explanation for this matter."
A hint of coldness flashed in Meng Yingnian's eyes.
Everything else is fine, I can compromise on it, and I can listen to Yu Zhi.
But the only thing that is unacceptable is that Yu Zhi gets hurt.
Especially since Yu Zhi has already developed such a deep psychological barrier.
"Forget it, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
Yu Zhi now lit a candle in his heart for the shop owner.
Who told him not to provoke them earlier or later?
Why provoke them at this time?
And it has become the only black spot they can see in Europe now.
