Tang Xueluan changed into the formal clothes for the next meeting, looked at the reflection in front of the floor mirror and nodded slightly, finally glanced at the documents on the table, then turned around neatly, opened the door and walked out of her bedroom, looking up at the man standing at the door. The female bodyguard said:
"Xiao Xu, get ready to meet the guests."
But Xiao Xu did not use his ability immediately, but whispered quietly:
"Uncle and aunt are in the living room."
Tang Xueluan opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and it took her several seconds to understand what she just said.
"Wait here." Tang Xueluan suppressed her nervousness and whispered to the bodyguard, then raised her legs and walked slowly and cautiously towards the living room.
Why did my parents come over suddenly without saying hello? Is it because you want to stop your plan here in advance? Or maybe the family plans to give her some new bargaining chips and let them come and talk to her.
Tang Xueluan walked into the living room in anxiety.
Her mother, Tang Jinghong, was sitting in front of the coffee table, talking and laughing with her husband, while her gentle father, Shu Yunpeng, was also sitting on the side, flipping through the popular science books that Tang Xueluan had casually placed on the table.
After seeing her come in, Tang Jinghong looked over first, and then said with a smile:
"I heard that Ma En wants to meet you."
Tang Xueluan was a little nervous and walked to the sofa on the left side of her mother to sit down:
"Well, he conveyed the idea of meeting to me through his shadow, and as far as I know, he doesn't seem to be looking for the reformists yet, and there are no other factions or groups in the federation looking for him yet, which means that this meeting It’s likely to be effective.”
Tang Jinghong did not follow her words, but showed a concerned look:
"How's it going at your company?"
Tang Xueluan looked at her mother and replied:
"Everything is going well. If there are no accidents, I may be promoted this year and can directly enter the most important management. But these are not important now. No matter what I say, Eastern Federal Company cannot compete with the new federal department. Compare.
"I'm ready to move to the Foreign Service."
If Shu Yun had not died, she would not have considered leaving the company at all, but there were only two daughters in their family, and as their father was a member of the Great Council, it seemed that his children were destined to embark on a political path.
Originally, this path was taken by Shu Yun. She liked and was better at this kind of thing than herself. When she had a sister, Tang Xueluan could do what she wanted to do without any burden or pressure, and without having to consider the future of the family.
But now the situation is different. Her family must have descendants who are involved in politics. In a sense, this is not entirely for the pursuit of profit and power. She does this just to ensure that her parents will not suddenly die one day in her later years. He was also silenced inexplicably.
Although her grandfather is still talking about the Shu family now, and members of the family will take care of each other, the situation in a few decades will probably not be like it is now. Tang Xueluan believes that the speed of change in this era will exceed that of most people. Imagine.
This is another reason why she did not enter politics. Originally, Tang Xueluan thought that she and her sister would develop in two fields at the same time. No matter where there was a problem, there would be no way out, but now she is the only one in their family. Card.
No matter how much she dislikes it, the Federation is still the best choice for her.
After all, she has a good father.
Tang Jinghong nodded and said:
"Back then, when you said you wanted to go out and have a career, your dad and I were actually not very reassured. Originally we thought you were just going to hit a wall.
"But then your results were completely beyond our expectations. Your father and I are very satisfied with your situation. We originally thought it would be good for you to stay in the company like this, but since you are willing to come back, it will be better good.
"Your grandfather also heard about this and has been chatting with us about you in the past few days."
These words made Tang Xueluan's heart lift into his throat:
"What did grandpa say?"
Tang Jinghong replied:
"He thinks it's worthy of encouragement that you can come up with such an idea, and I also specifically told him that before Man's victory, you were very sure that he was a capable person worth recruiting. He also praised you for your vision."
Her father Shu Yunpeng, who had always been silent, also spoke:
"Dad also watched the video of that battle. He understands the level of Ma En better than your mother and I, and this young man is indeed very talented in supernatural abilities. If he is really Like you said, it's suitable for solicitation...
"Then you really found a treasure this time."
After hearing this, Tang Xueluan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since her grandfather said so, her parents would definitely support her decision, so that she might be able to get enough chips before the negotiation.
As a descendant of the family, her power is actually limited, so she originally planned to negotiate with Ma En at a price she felt was reasonable regardless of the family's situation today, and then slowly negotiate with the family elders to get the price she promised.
But Tang Jinghong immediately continued:
"But you have to know that there is a reason why almost no one in the entire federation wants to recruit him. They are not blind. They can see Ma En's potential as an ability user, but there are also very troublesome things about him."
After receiving the news that her grandfather supported her, Tang Xueluan felt confident to speak:
"Because he's a member of the Salvation League?"
Tang Jinghong nodded:
"Yes, and he is a follower of Shenxiao. In fact, many people are afraid of his identity. He is a madman who is willing to follow Shenxiao and the Salvation Alliance to go to war with us. Do you think such a person will wait until Shenxiao comes out again? Will you return to her command in the future?"
Tang Xueluan nodded:
"I think it will be, that's why we have to tie him to our boat before then."
Her father said:
"At least it's not that naive. Is that all you think about him?"
Tang Xueluan shook his head slightly:
"No, in fact, in my opinion, this is not entirely a bad thing. We can't be sure what will happen after Shenxiao comes out. I think Ma En may be a bridge for us to communicate with her in many situations.
"I think Shenxiao's rejoining the Federation will bring many new opportunities."
Shu Yunpeng nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, Ma En's identity is a burden and encumbrance, but there are also opportunities in these corresponding troubles. Ma En's value does not only come from his own potential and ability. To be honest, recruiting these strongest Level IV ability users is buying a lottery ticket. .
"Even if he is one of the most talented level IV ability users, the possibility of being promoted to level V ability user cannot exceed 10%.
"But with the addition of his status as a member of the Salvation Alliance, it's different. He can be regarded as the strongest among Shenxiao's subordinates, so he must also be the one with the best relationship with her. If you can make him sincerely join our Shu family, then It is indeed a sure profit without loss.
"But don't think it's that simple. The word "sincerity" is the key point. This is also the difficulty of this matter. They are unwilling to contact Ma En because they don't have the confidence to make a senior member of the Salvation Alliance change. My own opinion.
"Are you confident that Ma En will be ours?"
Tang Xueluan nodded:
"have."
Shu Yunpeng nodded:
"Then just go ahead and do it. Grandpa and I will support you."
She showed a delighted smile:
"Thanks, Dad."
Tang Jinghong then asked:
"Then how do you plan to recruit him?"
Tang Xueluan said:
"I plan to start from the Salvation Alliance and pure interests, and the Federation has just recently established a paranormal professional advisory department that can compete with the Investigation Department. I am going to use this as an entry point to make demands on him, but it mainly depends on what he wants. What.
"These ability users often have something they want. What a former member of the Salvation Alliance like Ma En probably wants is different from other people. And this time he took the initiative to find me through the shadow. He must have thought clearly about himself. What do you want?
"We may have to meet a few more times to find out."
Shu Yunpeng nodded:
"Then Mom and I won't ask any more questions. You can just do what you want."
Tang Jinghong also said:
"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve on your own, just come to me and your dad directly. Now that you have just entered the federal system, it will definitely not go so smoothly."
My father also echoed:
"Don't care what other people in the family think of you. I know you want them to recognize your abilities as soon as possible, but don't hold on when you encounter problems. Your mother and I believe in your abilities, so there's no need to rush to achieve results within the federation. .
“We are not old enough to rely on you to support us.
"You are our daughter, and your ability to live happily is the most important thing to us."
Tang Xueluan nodded warmly in his heart:
"Well, I won't show off."
In fact, when she heard these words, she was not only moved but also a little bit sad. In the past, parents rarely said such things to them. This was partly because they felt that their children should be allowed to crawl, crawl, and roll around when they were young. The conditions were not as good as they are now.
On the other hand, it is also because such words are actually of no use. The core politicians of the Federation are inherently at risk, and in fact, whether they can live safely until old age depends largely on luck, because they are often not directly offended enough to retaliate. own role.
But in the abnormal world, you can't just sit back and relax by being cautious. There are many people with abilities who seem to be unable to pose any threat. Logically speaking, they will not directly seek revenge from politicians, but they will always encounter various accidents in the abnormal world. .
You can never guess which person with abilities is capable of killing you at your doorstep.
But in fact, politicians like her rarely encounter danger, and her sister Shu Yun is not actually a normal politician. Her ability and desire to cause trouble are far greater than other politicians, and she will always do things that go against the interests of others. A stupid thing to satisfy her own selfish desires.
And even Shu Yun's death was something they didn't expect. Although she caused a lot of trouble, it was actually far from the extent that she would really cause such a fatal disaster. You must know that she had a level V The most expensive conventional security measures.
Her death can actually be said to be a relatively unfortunate situation.
So normally parents don't have to worry so much about their own safety. After all, whichever type of politician they have a background in, and can get higher security measures than their status, they are actually the ones least likely to get into trouble.
But it seems that the death of their sister has completely changed their minds. Even though they all know how low the chance of a politician dying unexpectedly is, and they also know that they are not like their sister who will persevere arrogantly in the face of danger, but they She was still afraid that something would happen to her daughter again, so she changed her attitude and gave her numerous warnings.
After saying goodbye to her parents, Tang Xueluan walked out of the living room, then looked up at the bodyguard who stood like a wooden stake:
"Let's go, Xiao Xu."
She nodded, and the surrounding environment instantly became a little darker.
"Boss, uncle and aunt..." Xiao Xu asked curiously.
Tang Xueluan replied:
"They gave me affirmation on this matter. Although they didn't say it directly, I think Marne's victory can indeed show value. It can make my parents and grandfather temporarily abandon his sensitive identity and be highly supportive. My idea."
If they were not so sure about this matter, although they would still not stop her and even express some tactful approval, they would not come here in person to express their support so strongly, let alone provide her with support from the family.
This is also the most important significance of their arrival. Now she and Ma En have more bargaining chips.
However, although her parents expressed strong support for her idea this time, they were still not so sure about their own idea. After all, it would be very difficult to truly recruit Ma En to achieve the effect she just mentioned.
The question is not whether Man can do it, but whether they can make Man do it.
In fact, they are so supportive not only because the idea is indeed feasible, but also not out of trust in her ability, because in general, it is still a bit risky to do it. After all, Ma En is involved in the most troublesome problem figure in the Federation, God. Xiao.
Shenxiao's comeback represents countless opportunities, but what his parents did not say directly is that it also represents countless troubles. Using Ma En, a former member of the Salvation Alliance, to find these opportunities is a high-risk and high-return matter, because they Facing not only Shenxiao, but also the intricate political environment within the entire federation.
So in fact, they and their family were really willing to support it, not only because they felt that the matter itself was feasible, but also because it was her who proposed it. It had nothing to do with her vision or ability, but because she was her grandfather's granddaughter and her father's daughter.
These two identities are enough. Since she is willing to return to the Federation to do something, as long as she does not really do something stupid to seek death, then the family will definitely not really try to stop her, and it is more effective as it is now. The elders of the family will also provide her with sufficient resources to determine the value and possible success of the decision.
She has many good elders.
