Chapter 577: Chapter 180 Tides Surging_4

”Moreover, there will be a good opportunity in a while.”

The Chairman said as he displayed a news bulletin from the Empire’s official media on the screen, featuring a photo of Bai Quan.

”The commander of the Fourteenth Legion in the Gallo Star Realm, Bai Quan, has returned to the Legion’s base to prepare for promotion to Vice Admiral.”

”Bai Quan destroyed two main ships in Dusk’s territory, one of which was even a new model of the main ship, and he even acquired part of the new model’s data.”

”Such a remarkable achievement makes the Empire now promote him as a model of the military.”

”Take a look.”

The Chairman displayed countless news bulletins released by official or semi-official media on the adjacent screen, all reporting on Bai Quan.

The intention behind the official actions was clear, attracting numerous tabloids to publish similar articles.

It was clearly an attempt to portray Bai Quan as the Empire’s youngest Vice Admiral in recent years and an iconic hero.

One director, with some sharpness, sensed some issue and said, ”Such a fanfare makes one wonder if the Empire is planning something big in recent years?”

The Chairman did not deny it and said, ”It’s highly likely, which is why I previously had the company adjust some production lines, shifting civilian ship production towards military use.”

”But that’s not our focus right now. What we need to discuss is that Wu An will attend this promotion ceremony.”

”Additionally, there’s news that the Fourteenth Legion has also invited Shao Yang, the designer of the Supreme Point.”

”Let’s just say Shao Yang recently left Speed Particle Technology and already has the design of the Supreme Point as a core asset. He’s indeed an excellent recruiting target.”

”Regardless of whether Shao Yang attends, Wu An’s attendance is certain.”

”In fact, I plan to have more interactions with Bai Quan.”

The Chairman suddenly switched the content on the screen behind him to a document of recent public activities and a file of the Fourteenth Legion’s announced battle achievements.

”Do you notice any peculiarities in these two documents?”

Before the directors could identify any issues, the Chairman explained, ”The day Chen Ming escaped from Dusk coincided with Bai Quan’s visit to Dusk.”

”Recently arrived in the Gallo Star Realm for only a few months, Bai Quan suddenly led a fleet deep into Dusk’s territory, found Dusk’s giant shipyard, and knew there was a new design main ship inside, and destroyed it.”

”Then, Wu An, who almost had no interaction with Bai Quan, suddenly agreed to go all the way to the Fourteenth Legion’s main base to attend a promotion ceremony.”

”These pieces of information that are apparent should be understandable to you, right?”

Some directors showed slight embarrassment on their faces, but they quickly masked it.

”So, the conclusion is clear, Chen Ming and Bai Quan have some additional covert collaboration.”

”They didn’t have conflicts due to previous internal issues within the Fourteenth Legion but instead came together.”

”We cannot continue to waste the opportunity to connect with Chen Ming.”

”Therefore, Wu An, Bai Quan, and Shao Yang are all potential targets for indirect contact with Chen Ming.”

”Fortunately, our current relationship with the Fourteenth Legion is relatively good, so although it might be a bit embarrassing, getting an invitation shouldn’t be a problem.”

”I can bring people to Bai Quan’s promotion ceremony. This is our chance to build a good relationship with Chen Ming.”

After the Chairman finished speaking, he gestured for the directors to speak freely.

The meeting concluded after more than an hour.

Following this.

A calm week passed swiftly.

A week later, Chen Ming was still on the orbital of the Mechanical Race’s planet, leading a busy life every day.
