Resurrection Empire-Chapter 925 - 354: Full-Scale Assault (Part 3)

"This goal seems distant, but as long as we persevere, we will achieve it someday!"

After saying this, Ren Zhong briefly fell silent again.

The "employees" below gradually began to roar wildly and uncontrollably.

Ren Zhong painted a beautiful future for them.

This future ignited all their enthusiasm.

Ren Zhong forcefully dragged everyone's hopes onto himself with promises.

This was an unimaginable promise for ordinary people.

At this moment, Ren Zhong truly distinguished himself completely from other citizens.

The distinction wasn't due to his own unique identity, but rather from the image of "Ren Total" established in each employee's mind.

If it were someone else, even if they used more flowery language, it would all be an illusion, and no one would dare believe it.

On Source Star, employees work hard for business owners, help them achieve social mobility, but end up with nothing when the time comes, while business owners betray them and break promises. There are too many such cases.

The level of trust between people has been suppressed to a state infinitely close to zero. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, Ren Zhong used two hundred and eighty-four days of actions to establish a unique persona.

His words and deeds have long proved what kind of person he is.

The employees of Ren Group are willing to trust him blindly.

Deafening roars echoed through the sky.

Ren Zhong looked at the flushed faces below, the bulging veins on their necks, took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and shouted.

"Dismissed! Set out!"

At that moment, he almost couldn't resist the impulse to salute. After speaking, he immediately turned and walked off the high platform.

Outside Chromium Carbon Town, the first, second, and third division of the East Expedition Army turned in place and headed east in mighty waves.

The counterattack on Zhan Sha truly commenced.

Due to his injuries not being fully healed yet, Ren Zhong did not go with the army this time.

The Marshal of the East Expedition Army is Zheng Tian, and Chen Hanyu joins the combat staff department as the chief of staff.

Yujin serves as the acting head of the intelligence group, essentially as the deputy of Ou Youning, who pretends to be confined. Zheng Dafa and Ding Canghai serve as deputy heads of the intelligence group.

The strongest fighting forces are Wang Qiao, the super war artist Qian Wangshen, Ma Xiaoling, Bai Feng, Shi Lin, and others.

The prison-mate smuggling trio serves as logistics officers.

Ju Qingmeng's parents and Wen Lei serve as equipment officers, assisting Qian Wangshen.

...

Ren Group has put forth elite forces in this expedition.

This is Ren Zhong's first strike in the disconnected era, and it must be a fatal one.

More than ten minutes later, as Ren Zhong just returned to the building at Chromium Carbon Resources' airship, his temporary secretary knocked on the door to report an issue.

The girl known in Chromium Carbon Town for her meticulous thinking entered the room, slightly nervous, speaking quickly, "Chief Ren, Mayor Liang is waiting for you in the adjacent reception room. Chairman Gao Zhengwen of Chromium Carbon Mining is also there."

Ren Zhong nodded.

As he passed by the girl, he smiled and patted her shoulder, "No need to be nervous, I'm not a man-eating tiger. Everyone praises you, Little Tang, for being smart and having an exceptional memory—I think so too."

The girl surnamed Tang stared blankly at Ren Zhong, her face flushed red in the next instant, nodding heavily, "Yes! Thank you, Chief Ren, for your encouragement. I will work hard! By the way, Chief Ren, do you need a bed attendant?"

Ren Zhong slapped his forehead sharply, "No need!"

Surrendered.

To use a rather convoluted phrase, Ren Zhong felt that his journey was indeed arduous and distant.

This era has far too many ingrained concepts and lingering poisons that are hard to remove.

Upon entering the adjacent reception room, Ren Zhong first saw Liang Qifa sitting in a wheelchair, next to Gao Zhengwen whose face was full of anxiety and helplessness.

Liang Qifa, trying to rise to greet, was pressed back into the wheelchair by Ren Zhong who strode over.

Ren Zhong: "Manager Liang, just sit comfortably, I'm not Yang Bingzhong, this won't work here. Your legs aren't fully healed; it's already my fault for making you tend to matters while enduring hardship—what's there to greet?"

Liang Qifa awkwardly scratched his head, "Sorry, Chief Ren, I have a bad habit, I'll change it slowly."

"Mm." Ren Zhong turned to Gao Zhengwen, smiling, "I've been so busy recently and haven't had the chance to personally thank Chief Gao for lending me troops generously—what brings you here personally? Could it be that you couldn't wait for my thanks?"

Gao Zhengwen, initially somewhat tense, relaxed significantly with Ren Zhong's teasing, saying, "Chief Ren, you have quite a sense of humor."

Ren Zhong laughed heartily, "Life is short, one must find joy in times of hardship. Chief Gao, let's not beat around the bush, I'll state upfront. I can promise you, from this day onward, I'll cover all the production from your Chromium Carbon Mining. After all, global logistics won't be recovering soon, you can't afford long-term shutdowns, right?"

Gao Zhengwen nodded, "Thank you, Chief Ren."

"Furthermore, you can choose the settlement method. My group only uses Starfire Coin for external transactions now, but I'll give you special treatment. Chief Gao, whether you prefer Starfire Coin, bartering, or IOUs for Contribution Points?"

Gao Zhengwen pondered for a moment, "Actually, I've already discussed with my subordinates before coming here; until the global logistics system recovers, I prefer using Starfire Coin. After all, your group has already used Starfire Coin in trades with Chenhui Mine, Liao Yuan County, Chongyi County, West Lake County, Yangsheng City, and other association institutions. I trust you."

"Yes. Then I owe you more favors, Chief Gao."

Gao Zhengwen wiped his forehead, "Mutual benefits, it's nothing personal. By the way, I actually have one more thing."

"Chief Gao, go ahead."

"To tell the truth, there are spies from the Seven Towns Alliance in the town."

Ren Zhong: "I know. But they're not really spies anymore; they're messengers now, right?"

Gao Zhengwen: "Yes. Just a few minutes after you ordered the expedition, a warehouse manager from my company approached me, wanting to represent the Seven Towns Alliance to negotiate with you. They are willing to cede wealth, hoping you will show mercy. What do you think?"

Ren Zhong didn't respond immediately, instead asking, "What do you think, Chief Gao?"

Gao Zhengwen swallowed nervously, cautiously saying, "I've been operating in Chromium Carbon Town for years and have some relationships with the business owners in the other Seven Towns, so maybe my perspective is somewhat biased."

"No need to worry, speak directly."

"They did indeed do wrong, but I saw their offer, it's full of sincerity. They're sincerely repenting. Furthermore, the Zhan Sha Eight Towns are always very close, mutually complementing industries; abruptly starting a full-scale war can easily cause resource shortages, unfavorable for both you and me. If this war lasts, even my Chromium Carbon Mining might shut down due to lack of materials, and economic levels and living standards will inevitably decline within the town."

Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "No, this war won't last long, at most three days."

"What!"

Gao Zhengwen was stunned on the spot.

Ren Zhong continued, "By the way, you should send that warehouse manager out of town. During wartime, emissaries aren't to be harmed. Here, Chief Gao, I'll give you another clear promise. If this war exceeds three days, not only will I halt the war unconditionally, but I'll also compensate you doubly to cover all your losses. How about that?"

"Al...alright."
