Chapter 1535 - 576: Divine Power Conference Hall, Brotherhood_3
The most important thing is that many of Red Blade Clan’s external acquisition offers quickly solidified from verbal agreements into written contracts.
It is foreseeable that Ren Zhong’s fiefdom and revenue will rapidly expand from the initial 150 planetary systems in a short time.
According to estimates by professional economists, with the support of the super cash cow of invisible coating, and the terrifying learning ability, scientific capability, and production capacity that the Red Blade Clan has demonstrated, at most it will take only thirty years for the new generation population in the 150 feudal star systems to fully form, allowing Earl Red Blade to quickly elevate the number of his sovereign star systems to over five hundred, enough to rival Nanxiang’s Earldom.
The actions of these two powerful Earls, Ren Zhong and Liu An, indeed have a ripple effect.
Even a superficial harmony is enough to rewrite the situation in the Star Cluster.
Meanwhile, far away in the Empire Core, many in the newly established 1001 Sequence Special Group of the Selected Guard also breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, all actions of Earl Red Blade are within the scope of psychological evaluation predictions by the Life Sciences Academy at the Far Border Branch.
He is very young, full of vigor, and has the temperament of youth, so he would make various humiliating moves due to his resentment towards Nanxiang Marquis Liu An.
But he ultimately considers the welfare of the entire Red Blade Clan, choosing to compromise and accept Liu An’s apology.
This indicates that although he is passionate, he still has a big-picture perspective, highlighting the importance of the Red Blade Clan in his mind, and his care for the clan surpasses his personal preferences.
In summary, the evaluation by the Selected Guard states that although Ren Zhong is extraordinarily talented and appears to have a fiery temperament, his excessive concern for the clan can become his handle.
The Royal Family Center can completely control and support his clan in secret, holding the rise and fall of the Red Blade Clan in their hands, firmly keeping him in check.
Ren Zhong’s reliability has seen another significant increase.
After another two days, Ren Zhong was preparing to enter cryosleep again, when an unexpected visitor arrived on Red Blade Star, the newly appointed Chief Officer of the Military and Political Center in the Nanxiang Star Cluster.
This person is also currently a high-profile figure within the Star Cluster.
He quietly followed Liu An and arrived just three days later.
Ren Zhong previously didn’t pay attention to this man at all, but now that the other party has arrived, it is reasonable to meet in person.
Before the formal talks, Ren Zhong first looked at the visitor’s information and had a strange feeling.
The new officer’s name is Wen Zaiyin.
Upon first glance, Ren Zhong didn’t find anything wrong, but it felt even stranger when he muttered the name to himself.
This person is surnamed Wen, and should be from a branch of the Imperial Family like Wen Yuanbo.
But the name, just like Bourbon Louis, is ominous; is your final fate also to end up in prison?
...
"Hello, Officer Wen," Ren Zhong said.
Standing at the Earl Mansion’s entrance, Ren Zhong walked quickly to Wen Zaiyin, enthusiastically extending his hand.
Wen Zaiyin quickly extended his hand to give a light grip and then quickly withdrew.
Indeed, an experienced player; Officer Wen must have watched Liu An’s broadcast, so he first refused the proposal to meet Ren Zhong at the Divine Power Conference Hall and was cautious when shaking hands.
Who knows if this gentleman’s habit of gripping hands firmly is intended to trap Liu An or if it’s subconscious behavior; with my frail arms and legs, better safe than sorry.
Ren Zhong was initially taken aback, then smiled and said, "Officer Wen, you are quite humorous."
The middle-aged Wen Zaiyin also smiled, "I came this time to bring you good news, so you should take it easy."
"Of course, of course." Ren Zhong gestured to bring him inside, and directly asked, "What’s the good news?"
Wen Zaiyin followed behind Ren Zhong without rushing to discuss the business, instead joking, "Yuanbo said you are an impatient person. At first, I didn’t understand, but now I get it. I haven’t even sat down yet and you want me to spill everything."
"Haha, who can stay calm upon hearing good news?"
Since Ren Zhong asked eagerly, Wen Zaiyin decided to not hide and, as they walked, said, "Recently, the Director of the Science Management Office under the Military and Political Center in the Nanxiang Star Cluster has officially retired. I am interested in hiring Earl Red Blade to take on this significant responsibility. Are you interested?"
Ren Zhong frowned, "Director?"
Honestly, he felt that it was quite inappropriate.
"Don’t underestimate this position. Administratively, it is on par with Liu An’s current position as Constant Fleet Commander. This director is in charge of overseeing all matters of technological development in the Nanxiang Star Cluster. It is also the position of the director of the Royal Academy of Sciences’ Nanxiang Secondary Branch. What do you think?"
Ren Zhong understood the underlying meaning.
This is another form of support from the Empire’s high-ups, helping to rival Liu An in power and authority.
"Then, it’s better to accept respectfully," he said.
