Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 347: Departments strive for new projects

Gu Feng had traveled through the Milky Way this time, producing a few teleportation arrays while discovering many materials for crafting high-end formations and elixirs.

For example, he extracted some high-density steel materials that were not native to Earth from a certain planet.

He handed these materials over to the Dragon Nation’s steel factories, instructing them to create furnaces according to the patterns he had designed.

The surplus several thousand tons of material could be used for weapon forging reserves and for spacecraft repairs to reduce maintenance costs in the long run.

Besides, Gu Feng also found some crystals in the crusts of certain planets.

These materials might be unfamiliar to people on Earth, but in the memory of that Nascent Soul cultivator, they were spirit stone mines.

With these spirit stones and other materials he brought, Gu Feng could craft many objects.

Such as Sensing Pillars for ordinary people to test their Spirit Roots.

The project concerning the Sensing Pillars garnered attention from the high levels of Dongguang and Beijing.

To ensure Dragon Nation’s future absolute central pivotal location, Gu Feng planned to set up only one spiritual root detection station in Dragon Nation.

Naturally, there would be a fee for people from other countries.

And once fees were charged, it would generate revenue, sparking intrinsic competition.

The system in Dongguang was paying attention because, according to what they knew, the Lord would not put all eggs in one basket policy-wise; thus, Shencheng City and Shanzhong City certainly wouldn’t consider these two major cities.

This meant that other prefecture-level cities in Dongguang had a chance now!

Do not underestimate the importance of the Sensing Pillars. Any child who reached the age of six could have their Spirit Roots tested to determine their potential limits in cultivation.

This would also help select cultivation geniuses from various countries for focused training.

Moreover, it could allow bottom-tier citizens to rise dramatically based on their children’s talents.

This meant every parent would test their children’s Spirit Roots to decide if their future had the potential for a transformational leap.

This was definitely a major project!

"Excluding free services for our citizens, the current global population from other countries has reached 6.5 billion. The whole world is increasing birth rates, predicting that each year will have no fewer than 300 million new births,"

"By that calculation, these Sensing Pillars could bring a city at least a trillion GDP annually."

The official system circles in Dongguang were all discussing and focusing on which city would win this project.

In Beijing, several Hall Masters started quarreling over obtaining this project.

The Commerce Department’s Hall Master Song currently held a monopoly project with Meiyue on cancer drugs, and the Railways’ Hall Master Yue managed the Shanzhong City teleportation project. As they were about to speak at a meeting, other old friends chided them.

"You two shut up and stay out of this. One makes trillions globally from cancer drugs each year, the other has a global transportation hub generating tens of trillions annually; do you really need to eye this project too?"

Hall Master Song and Gu Yi’s father-in-law, Hall Master Yue, could only sip tea with wry smiles, watching the others verbally spar over the new project.

No helping it, with 24 Hall Masters and so many projects, the appearance of a new one naturally sparked intense competition for personal performance and familial futures.

For Li Yan, who was attending the meeting in a Hall Master capacity for the first time, the scene was incredibly lively.

He couldn’t help but ask Gu Yuan, sitting beside him, "Uncle Yuan, is it always like this?"

Gu Yuan gave him a teasing look, "If you hadn’t been born in the Pangu department, you’d probably be even more heated than them."

The Oil Department Hall Master glanced at Li Yan and smiled, "If it weren’t for me securing a project that settles international oil transactions in RMB for the entire East Middle, I would probably join the fray too."

Li Yan was increasingly realizing the influence his team leader, Gu Feng, had in the circle.

Scanning around, at least half the Hall Masters were supported by projects initiated by Gu Feng that turned their departments into premium industries.

It went without saying, this Sensing Pillar project would also become a monopolistic venture, more than enough to secure a significant spot for a Hall Master department within the corporation.

Hall Master Song sipped his tea, humming slowly and leisurely, "These guys, it’s just because Feng isn’t attending the meeting. If he were here, dare they argue like this?"

As the meeting ended, Gu Yuan hurriedly quickened his steps, whispering to Li Yan, "Let’s go."

Li Yan hadn’t quite grasped the situation when other Hall Masters called after him: "Hall Master Li, have you eaten yet? How about coming to my place for a couple of dishes?"

As soon as those words were out, other Hall Masters chimed in, "Old Zhao, what good food do you have at home? Can your wife’s cooking make it to the table? Hall Master Li, come on, I’ll treat you to a Beijing restaurant that only uses produce from Shencheng City."

Li Yan couldn’t help but laugh and quickly made his escape.

He belatedly realized that these people wanted to leverage proximity to curry favor and sought his help to navigate the situation.

Wasn’t it all because he was connected to the key person, Gu Feng?

Gu Feng’s uncle Gu Yuan didn’t expect that upon returning home, he would be cornered at the door by a peer who had just been promoted to Hall Master like him.

"Old Yuan, ever since you went to Magic Capital and I went to Shancheng, we haven’t really had a good meal together." His peer was even shaking a bottle of specially made Maotai from the Shencheng company in his hand.

It was reserved only for Hall Master level, with only 1 bottle allocated per year.

Gu Yuan had already consumed his own, unexpected that his friend would bring such a costly liquor.

"Old Hou, you know my wife isn’t good in the kitchen,"

Master Hou smiled slightly, "No worries, I just want to have a drink with you. Peanuts are good enough for snacks, or even without your wife cooking—I’ll prepare a few dishes, and let’s have a few drinks."

Knowing he couldn’t escape, Gu Yuan resignedly invited him into his house.

Meanwhile, other prefecture-level City Leaders in Dongguang were not idling; they started venturing for business information on where the project would land.

Cai Qi, who had followed Lin Langsheng from Magic Capital, even personally visited Lin Langsheng at his residence.

Lin Langsheng’s work arrangements were pretty well known, so he didn’t need to achieve anything special to convince others in the circle.

Thus, this project definitely wouldn’t fall on Lin Langsheng’s side. Wei Chen and Liu Han, who had come from Magic Capital and now belonged to the upper echelons in Dongguang’s work system, didn’t need this project to secure their positions either.

Therefore, Cai Qi’s city stood as one of the hot candidates.

But to be sure, he personally came to see Lin Langsheng, hoping for his assistance.
