Chapter 416.2
Candidates (2)
Lu Qingyuan was greatly surprised by this. In her opinion, there are people in Wuling City who are more capable than her, so why did Feng Shao choose her?
She refused subconsciously, “No, no! How can I have the ability? The position of city lord of the new city should be handed over to a more suitable person!”
Feng Shao asked back with a smile, “Then who do you think is suitable?”
Lu Qingyuan immediately said a name, “Sister Zhixin!”
Feng Shao shook his head, “She can’t, I can’t do without her here!”
Lu Qingyuan proposed another name, “Shuanghua?”
Feng Shao shook his head again, “She is suitable for managing the established system, but not good at building something up from scratch.”
“Then… eldest senior sister?”
“Junior sister Han still has to manage the entire Taiwei Sect, so she doesn’t have the energy to manage a city.”“Senior brother Gao Yi?”
“He is even worse. Although his cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, what I am looking for is not a master of cultivation, but a talent in management.”
Lu Qingyuan named several people one after another, but Feng Shao rejected them one by one. In the end, Lu Qingyuan had no choice but to say helplessly, “Is it really up to me?”
To be honest, when Lu Qingyuan heard of Feng Shao’s appointment, she was more excited because it meant Feng Shao’s recognition of her ability.
But it was precisely because of this that she had to refuse the position all the more. Because she didn’t want Feng Shao’s hard work to go to waste just because of the mistakes she might make.
Feng Shao patted her on the shoulder again, and said earnestly, “Since I chose you, it is because you are the most suitable candidate. I know you are not confident in your own ability, but I believe you can do well. So not only do you have to believe in yourself more, but you also have to believe in me who believes in you.”
Looking at Feng Shao’s serious eyes, Lu Qingyuan bit her lip and hesitated for a long time. After a long time, she whispered, “Then… then I’ll try it.”
Feng Shao said with a smile, “That’s good! The tasks assigned to you, you just do it seriously. If there are any issues, I will take care of them. The future work of the new city, including construction, recruitment, development, it’s all up to you to decide. Whether you’re short of money, spirit stones, or workers, just ask me. I’ll take care of those worries. You just need to build the city in your mind!”
Facing Feng Shao’s trust, Lu Qingyuan was deeply moved. She looked directly into Feng Shao’s eyes, and nodded heavily, “Please rest assured, senior brother Feng, junior sister will definitely not let you down!”
The daughter of luck who is inspired and filled with fighting spirit has great potential. If they are used well, they can make even greater achievements.
Lu Qingyuan immediately ran back to her room and began to think hard about the construction of the new city. Just one day later, Lu Qingyuan took out a name list, a list of resources, and a comprehensive plan to show to Feng Shao.
The list includes the talents needed to build the new city, the resources list includes the resources needed in the construction process, and the detailed plan of the entire construction project is noted in the plan.
Feng Shao looked at it carefully for half an hour, then nodded and said, “Yes, you are really organized. Just follow your ideas, give this list to Shuanghua, and the resource list to Zhixin, they will give you the talents and resources you need.”
While talking, Feng Shao signed his own name on the bottom, and stamped the seal of the city lord on them.
Lu Qingyuan took the three sheets of paper from Feng Shao, and went to find Bai Shuanghua and Dai Zhixin without stopping.
Bai Shuanghua didn’t expect that her master would let Lu Qingyuan be the city lord of the new city, and she was very surprised. As she took the list, she asked Lu Qingyuan in surprise, “Martial Aunt Lu, did the master really say that? He really made you the new city lord?”
“Yes!” Lu Qingyuan nodded emphatically, “This is senior brother Feng’s trust in me, so I will definitely do my best to be a good city lord!”
Bai Shuanghua was filled with envy, and sincerely said to Lu Qingyuan, “Then I wish Martial Aunt the best of luck!”
Dai Zhixin was not surprised by Feng Shao’s decision. She simply took the resource list, ran to the warehouse to fetch the resources, and asked Lu Qingyuan by the way, “Do you know why our city lord chose you to be the city lord of this new city?” �
Lu Qingyuan looked at her suspiciously, and asked, “Senior brother Feng said that I am the most suitable candidate, what’s wrong?”
“Yes, but you have to figure out the other reason he meant by this,” Dai Zhixin explained patiently, “This new city was built near Taiwei Mountain, so it was actually built by the city lord for Taiwei Sect. The city lord is a nostalgic person, and he has finally developed his foundation, so he wants to drive the Taiwei Sect to develop together. And you are from the Taiwei Sect, so you are naturally the most suitable candidate. But I guessed the possibility that you might not understand the meaning of the city lord, so I am just saying a few words here.”
“You mean to say that the new city is to deliver benefits to the Taiwei Sect?”
Dai Zhixin shook her head, “Not exactly. Dependence is the most detrimental to growth. If the Taiwei Sect wants to grow and develop, it cannot simply rely on the support of the new city. The new city can provide a measure of protection for the Taiwei Sect, but it cannot become the free support of the Taiwei Sect. At least, it is possible to be partial to the Taiwei Sect, but it will be the worst outcome to be too partial to the Taiwei Sect. You need to find a balance between the two. You must ensure the healthy development of the Taiwei Sect, and at the same time avoid raising the Taiwei Sect into a waste that could only survive by relying on the new city.”
“Is that so…” Lu Qingyuan fell into deep thought.
“Okay, I won’t say more.” Dai Zhixin smiled at Lu Qingyuan and said, “Let me congratulate you in advance, city lord Lu!”
