Chapter Summary
Since Zhao Wudi has already given me this power and cleared up the misunderstanding, there's no need to waste time on this matter. You can also promise him that if he's willing to let us take over smoothly, in exchange, we can give him a position slightly higher than the one he's retired to in the capital, and he can also get some real power. After all, human society favors young people, so we have to make him understand that the position he can get with our help is limited, but it will definite...
Renault knew that he had to speak up himself. Actually, he was just being polite earlier. It was mainly because Liu Ning was brought up by Zhao Wudi, so it was better for Zhao Wudi to say some things.
Since Zhao Wudi has already given me this power and cleared up the misunderstanding, there's no need to waste time on this matter. These days, everyone is a precious person, and even three more people's time is valuable. Renault isn't the kind of person who fusses over things.
"Most things don't matter. You and Mr. Zhao can discuss and handle them. After all, you two are quite independent, unlike us. Although you are both War God-level experts, you two have a lot of room for development in the future, so the Speaker will not be strict with you. Right now, there is only one thing. You are now a councilor of the City Hall, and you two have obtained one-third of the seats. Therefore, the Speaker has set a rule that we must obtain more seats and then take control of this city."
Now that the relationship has been established, there's no need to waste time on this. Liu Ning wasn't very familiar with these matters, so he looked at Zhao Wudi with some confusion. Zhao Wudi didn't know much about politics either; basically, they just did what their superiors said. Liu Ning's current focus was on improving his own strength. Those who didn't want to get too involved in politics had limited experience; if you used it too much here, you'd use it less there. Right now, talking about anything else was nonsense; improving his own strength was the most important thing, and that was for sure.
"Please put it more clearly. My political awareness is even higher than his, but the problem is that I can't understand what you're saying, let alone him. We roughnecks are different from you word players. Please consider our comprehension when you speak in the future. If you continue to speak like this, we might misunderstand. If that causes any losses, it will be entirely your fault and have little to do with us."
Zhao Wudi and Renault were very close, so they often joked around. After hearing Zhao Wudi's words, Renault scratched his head. How could he have forgotten to cooperate with these people? Perhaps Liu Ning was a newcomer and looked very refined, so he really thought Liu Ning knew a lot about this. Unexpectedly, he was just like Zhao Wudi.
Dealing with someone like Zhao Wudi is a real headache for Renault and his team. If they had even a little political awareness, they wouldn't need to say much; they could just give them a starting point and they would know what to do next. Unfortunately, while Zhao Wudi has a high talent for cultivation, he has virtually no talent in other areas. So they can only speak plainly and expect Zhao Wudi to understand. If they misunderstand him because of their limited understanding, things could go completely wrong, and the consequences would be dire, with losses they couldn't afford.
"To put it simply, since this city has already reached this point, there's no need to leave any regrets. His Excellency the Speaker's meaning is very clear: in the near future, Mr. Zhao will definitely take over as the Prefect, and you will take over. Currently, besides Old Master Wang, the two of you will become the number one and number three figures in this city. Do you understand what I'm saying? When that time comes, this city will be under our jurisdiction. We also have many young talents below us who will take over some of these positions. So you should understand what I'm saying, right?"
After Renault finished speaking, Zhao Wudi didn't show much surprise. After all, this matter had already been decided before, but it hadn't been implemented yet. This was mainly because Liu Ning's strength wasn't that great at the time. Even if the plan had been told to Liu Ning earlier, it might not have been able to be implemented. It depended on what level Liu Ning had reached. This plan was a real opportunity for Liu Ning, and it couldn't be replicated elsewhere. After all, Liu Ning and Zhao Wudi trusted each other. If it were elsewhere, the two might be fighting each other. In that case, they couldn't be put together. If they were fighting amongst themselves every day, they would exhaust their strength before even facing an enemy.
As for the current city lord, he's basically reached the age where he needs to make any breakthroughs. If he doesn't achieve any significant progress by then, he'll have no choice but to find a place to retire. This is an unspoken secret, and it's the same practice in other places. So, the city lord certainly won't have any objections. However, before taking office, he must gain the support of this guy. Many people within the city are former subordinates of the prefect. If you don't get his support, it will be difficult to control the city. Therefore, there are some things that require his support.
"Besides that, there's another matter, namely our City Lord. According to the intelligence we've received, you have a good relationship with the City Lord's second son, so try to get in touch with the City Lord and tell him about our matter. You can also promise him that if he's willing to let us take over smoothly, in exchange, we can give him a position slightly higher than the one he's retired to in the capital, and he can also get some real power. Of course, we can't give him too high hopes, because of his age, there are some important positions he can't take over. After all, human society favors young people, so we have to make him understand that the position he can get with our help is limited, but it will definitely be higher than what he originally got."
After listening to everything, Liu Ning couldn't help but admire the people above. It turned out that everything they did was planned out in advance, step by step. Just like the position of city lord, it was originally intended to be reserved for Zhao Wudi, but unexpectedly, Zhao Wudi's position was reserved for him. Moreover, this city lord originally thought that he could stay here for a while, but if the higher-ups decide, he will probably have to leave this place soon.
