Importing food would only resolve whatever urgent situation was at hand.
But what Ren Xiaosu was doing now was seeking a more stable and prosperous future for the Northwest.
As the director of the Policy Research Office, Wang Yuexi knew well the difference between the two.
Ren Xiaosu said to Wang Yun, “Of course, it’s not like everyone can take on as many contracts as they like, or choose whichever plot of land that they want. We have to play a macro role in this. So drawing the borders of land is of utmost importance. Not only do we have to draw a map, but we also have to know which are the fertile and barren plots.”
“Future Commander, don’t worry. I’ll definitely complete the mission within half a month,” Wang Yun said.
Ren Xiaosu nodded and said to the Great Hoodwinker, “Since we want everyone to venture out into the wilderness to reclaim the wastelands, we have to ensure that it’ll be safe. Deploy Xun Yeyu and have Wang Yuchi and the others bring him over and activate his radar power while they clear the entire wilderness of any danger.”
“In the Northwest’s territory, I don’t want there to be any banditry or wild animals attacking people. Xun Yeyu and the rest are to sniff out all the bandits hiding in the valleys and the hills,” Ren Xiaosu said.
The Great Hoodwinker had a feeling that the future commander was getting serious this time. He was even planning to use Xun Yeyu, the mobile human radar, to clear out the bandits. After this, there would really be no more bandits left in the Northwest.
With Xun Yeyu around, it would be impossible for anyone to avoid their encirclement this time no matter where they hid. The bandits and robbers in the Northwest were really going to be exterminated.
“Of course, we don’t have to kill all the bandits either. If they turn over a new leaf after we capture them, they can still join the Prosperous Northwest’s efforts.” Ren Xiaosu had set the tone for this affair. This was the beginning of the Prosperous Northwest, and manpower was the foundation of everything.
Under such circumstances, Ren Xiaosu was willing to be lenient to whoever was willing to join the Prosperous Northwest, as long as they had not committed any grave crimes.
The meeting lasted for eight hours before it finally came to an end. During this time, Yang Xiaojin even made lunch for everyone, leaving them feeling very honored.
Wang Fugui stayed until evening before leaving. However, he did not go home and instead took the car to Stronghold 143 next door to pay a visit to someone.
At around 9 PM, Wang Fugui headed straight for 179 Guangxing Street after arriving at Stronghold 143. He knocked on the door, and a surprised middle-aged man on the inside answered.
The middle-aged man looked at Wang Fugui in confusion. “Who are you looking for?”
Wang Fugui said with a smile, “Pardon me, are you Mr. Jiang Lin?”
“Yes, that’s me.” Jiang Lin said in surprise, “Is something the matter? If you’re from the Northwest Army, please go back. I just want to lead a simple life, not join the military.”
Wang Fugui shook his head. “I’m not from the Northwest Army. Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Fugui, and I was very fortunate that everyone supported my bid to be the president of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce.”
Jiang Lin was stunned. He had heard of Wang Fugui’s name before. By now, who did not know about Yunsu Trading Company and Wang Fugui? The Northwest Chamber of Commerce’s influence on the Northwest was much greater than Ren Xiaosu could imagine.
After all, most of the things the Northwest Chamber of Commerce imported and exported were very closely linked to necessities. For example, kitchenware imported from the Central Plains, lipstick, and many other novelty products were all sold through the Northwest Chamber of Commerce.
Jiang Lin was the earth-type supernatural being the Great Hoodwinker had mentioned. However, he did not want to join the military and was even very determined against it. Therefore, he remained a company employee until now.

Before Wang Fugui came here, he had done his research and knew that Jiang Lin did not have any animosity for the Northwest Army. It was just that he cherished his life more and did not want to get involved in any dangerous activities.
In the past, he was picked out from the crowd by Xun Yeyu to do the Zong Consortium’s bidding. During that time, Jiang Lin had killed many people, and that was not in line with what he wanted. As such, he often had nightmares about it.
But while such talents could not be used by the Northwest Army, the Northwest Chamber of Commerce could really do with their help.
Moreover, Wang Fugui heard that Jiang Lin was probably one of the earliest supernatural beings to awaken their power. So in other words, it was very likely that Jiang Lin was an extremely strong supernatural being.
Jiang Lin invited Wang Fugui into the house. Wang Fugui got straight to the point and said, “To be honest, I’m only here because of your superpower, Mr. Jiang. However, I don’t need you to do anything dangerous for me. On top of that, I can assure you that you’ll be paid handsomely.”
Jiang Lin was stunned. “What does President Wang want me to do? Won’t you be needing me to fight and kill? Let me say this in advance: I’m really not interested in fighting and killing, nor am I willing to be a bodyguard for the rich and powerful.”
“There won’t be any fighting or killing.” Wang Fugui waved it off with a smile. “All I want is for you to help the Northwest prosper, Mr. Jiang. Now that the Prosperous Northwest is right before us, even though our Yunsu cannot participate in the macroeconomic development of the region, we can still take contract work. In the eyes of others, Mr. Jiang is a supernatural being and a weapon. But in our Yunsu’s eyes, Mr. Jiang should be the first chief engineer of our company!”
“I’ve never studied engineering before….” Jiang Lin was a little dumbfounded. This was the first time he had heard someone wanting to utilize his superpower like that. An earth-type supernatural being getting into engineering? That seemed a little interesting.
Wang Fugui said with a smile, “You don’t have to know about engineering. We’ll provide the drawings, and we also have professionals to guide you, Mr. Jiang, on how to do it. All you need to do is apply your power to help with the development of the Northwest. Altering the terrain and surface topography is what you’re best at. Even digging a foundation in about a second would help our Yunsu make back the remuneration that we’re paying you.”
Only those who had worked in civil engineering before would understand how useful an earth-type supernatural being could be in construction.
As Stronghold 144 was about to start building its irrigation infrastructure projects, it would not be difficult to provide for the livelihood of a supernatural being like Jiang Lin as long as Yunsu could undertake a project.
When Wang Fugui saw that Jiang Lin’s interest was piqued, he asked with a smile, “May I know what your annual salary is now, Mr. Jiang?”
Jiang Lin hesitated and said, “80,000 yuan.”
Wang Fugui gave a wave of his hand. “‘ll pay you an annual salary of 800,000 yuan and throw in a car and a villa in Stronghold 144 as benefits. In addition, there’ll be year-end bonuses and dividends. How does that sound to you? As you know, your power is a weapon in the eyes of others, but it can only be put to good use by our Yunsu Company. You’re a supernatural being, yet you’re only working at a mediocre job. Don’t you feel like that’s really hard on you?”
The words impressed deeply upon Jiang Lin’s soul. As a supernatural being, he should have nothing to worry about. But just because he was tired of fighting and killing, he could only work an ordinary job. He felt wronged.
But now, his chance had arrived.
Seeing that he was about to succeed, Wang Fugui immediately added, “You should know Yunsu’s background as well. It’s the Future Commander’s private company, so by following him here in the Northwest, you won’t have to worry anymore about your future.”
Since even Zhou Yingxue knew she could make use of Ren Xiaosu’s influence, how could a businessman like Wang Fugui not? Although Wang Fugui might look like a simple and honest person, he had been doing business for decades. How could a truly honest person possibly gain a foothold in the stronghold’s town?
Although he had principles, he still had to earn whatever money he could!
Since this person would not join the Northwest Army, the Northwest Chamber of Commerce could not be blamed for trying to poach him. Furthermore, this was to support the future commander’s plan to make the Northwest prosper. With such a talented man joining the building of the infrastructure, their progress would go faster.
To quickly convince Jiang Lin to join them, Wang Fugui did not even bother to have dinner yet!
Wang Fugui said with a smile, “What do you think, Mr. Jiang? You won’t find another company in the entire Northwest offering such generous compensation.”
Jiang Lin had already made his decision.
