Resurrection Empire

Chapter 695 261: The Return of the Master's Elegance to the Martial World_2

Ren Zhong grinned, "Of course, it's not necessary. Not everyone holds value. Additionally, the division among the Empire's leadership lies in who to take with them. On Source Star, the vast majority of wilderness people are only fit to become tools. But there is a larger portion of citizens who aren't even qualified to be tools. They are the vested interests under this rigid system, playing a negative role for civilization. The faction pursuing autonomous civilization believes a minor institutional reform should be undertaken before departure, appropriately relaxing control to transform useful wilderness people like me into citizens. This batch of newly promoted, energetic citizens would enhance Source Star's civilization competitiveness."

Xiao Xingyue clapped her hands sharply, "Yes! Absolutely right!"

After her excitement, she noticed Ren Zhong's wise smile, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry, I got carried away."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "It's okay. You don't view wilderness people with condescension; you even settle in Starfire Town, which mostly consists of wilderness people with only a few citizens. You also interview the bottom-level wilderness people. Therefore, you represent the faction that advocates for autonomous civilization."

"Yes, we call it the Source Star Civilization Promotion Association."

Ren Zhong: "Currently, the other faction has the upper hand. They've acquired most of the permissions of the 'Net,' right?"

"Yes! You truly are..."

Ren Zhong continued, "I'll join."

Xiao Xingyue: "Huh?"

Ren Zhong: "I said, I will join. The Promotion Association and my ideology coincide. You need me to counterbalance the other faction, and I need your comprehensive support. We share common goals, complementing each other. Reporter Xiao, you've successfully completed your mission."

Xiao Xingyue: "But I haven't even..."

Ren Zhong: "No need. I am extremely self-confident and rarely admire others. But I admire your visionary insight and astonishingly keen observational skills, Reporter Xiao. When we first met, I was just an ordinary wilderness person, but you immediately saw my potential and used another identity to observe me further. I greatly respect your vision. If even a member of the Promotion Association has such standards, I believe that even though the Promotion Association is currently at a disadvantage, we will surely achieve ultimate victory."

Xiao Xingyue's lips trembled, utterly at a loss.

Xiao Xingyue swallowed, "Would you like me to tell you our next plan?"

Ren Zhong shook his head again, "No need, I can guess. It's nothing more than using Starfire Town as a starting point, exerting influence on the Promotion Association's upper echelon... opposing the Mengdu Group, a major reshuffle... increasing at least two to three billion newly promoted Fifth Level Citizens, even replacing five to six billion existing ticket holders! A total overhaul! Forming a battle-ready steel army! In a cosmic-level societal framework..."

Xiao Xingyue was shocked, utterly shocked.

She quivered her lips, "No... what is this..."

Ren Zhong continued, "The general route is as such, but things need to be approached step by step. As for launching an attack against the Mengdu Group, let me explain..."

Another ten minutes or so passed, and a dizzy Xiao Xingyue was escorted out of the villa by Ren Zhong.

She was convinced.

What a monster!

What kind of analytical and insight capability is this!

Just based on such superficial information, he saw through everything!

Moreover, he had already started taking a hard stance against the Mengdu Group!

Even if the Promotion Association hadn't contacted him, he would have acted and certainly would have heavily impacted the Mengdu Group!

He would undoubtedly be able to retreat unscathed!

As a newly promoted Fifth Level Citizen, you already dare to shake the foundation of one of the Nine Major Groups?

What boldness, what prowess!

Xiao Xingyue, like a walking corpse, wandered outside the villa for a long time until the communication from the wristwatch brought her back to reality.

"Xiao Xingyue."

"Ah! Chairman!"

"I heard your conversation with Ren Zhong."

"Chairman, what do you think?"

"He possesses wisdom beyond my imagination. He... surpasses me. Once the Starfire Town experiment concludes, I'll personally meet with him. He deserves my attention."

"Alright then." Xiao Xingyue quickly added, "Wait! Oh no! I forgot to mention that thing!"

The Chairman seemed to chuckle, "That's no longer important. Such a person, inherently proud, must be very selective in choosing a partner. He seeks not just appearance, but resonance in the depths of the soul. Just your interest in him is useless. He no longer needs this cover. Haven't you noticed? He's long seen through your intentions, deliberately stalling you, so you dared not speak the whole time."

Xiao Xingyue sighed in disappointment, "So that's it. I understand now."

Xiao Xingyue recalled an ancient saying.

Awe-inspiring.

…

On the 114th day of the Ren Zhong Era, Starfire Town welcomed two unexpected yet reasonable guests.

Ren Zhong led the entire senior management of the Ren Group personally out of the city to greet them.

These two guests were the parents of Ju Qingmeng, who once had minor fame in Chongyi County and now were past retirement age.

While the couple may not surpass Ju Qingmeng in technical detail, their decades of experience and extensive knowledge far exceeded hers.

Their settling in Starfire Town will undoubtedly advance the overall equipment matching level of the wilderness people there by another notch within the next five days.

Amidst the public's attention, Ju Qingmeng beamed alongside Ren Zhong.

The elderly couple were extremely pleased upon seeing Ren Zhong.

They had been resentful and helpless due to their daughter's bitter fate, once believing they would never meet again in this lifetime.

They would rather not meet.

Seeing her would mean their daughter had given up on herself, living like someone she once despised.

Yet now, not only did they meet, she was living so happily.

The elderly parents felt immense gratification, a life with no more regrets, willing to spend the rest of their days here.
