Chapter 618 - The Wang Consortiums strategy (1/2)

He lodged Wang Fugui and the others in the houses Zhou Yingxue purchased. Since Zhou Yingxue had purchased a lot of houses, it would be a waste if no one was living in them. Ren Xiaosu felt that Zhou Yingxue’s dream of becoming a real estate investor should have been shattered when that creeper vine attacked the stronghold.

After lodging Old Wang and the others, Ren Xiaosu went back to keeping watch over Zhou Yingxue. He was afraid something would happen to her.

If this maidservant could successfully control the energy the creeper vine had received from sacrificing an entire stronghold, Zhou Yingxue would probably be a great help to him in the future.

However, he had already been waiting for three days. After three days, Ren Xiaosu still did not see any signs of Zhou Yingxue recovering.

However, Ren Xiaosu was not in a rush. After three days had passed, Zhou Yingxue still had a healthy glow on her face and did not show any signs of getting weaker.

He would have to stay in Stronghold 61’s town for some time anyway. According to Old Wang and the others, Yan Liuyuan and Xiaoyu’s whereabouts were still unknown. However, Ren Xiaosu felt that if Yan Liuyuan had not sustained any fatal wounds, the floodwaters would probably not kill him since he was capable of manipulating luck and curses.

So he would have to wait a little longer by Stronghold 61. As long as Yan Liuyuan saw those words in the Hope Media newspaper, he would definitely come to Stronghold 61 to look for him.

As for Yang Xiaojin, he could only think of a different way to find her after reuniting with Yan Liuyuan. After all, Yang Xiaojin did not spend enough time with Yan Liuyuan, Xiaoyu, and the others, so she couldn’t have heard that phrase before.

Ren Xiaosu already knew she was the one for him. As long as she were still alive, they would definitely meet again.

But what surprised Ren Xiaosu was actually the Wang Consortium’s reaction after the disaster at Stronghold 61.

The calamity had brought immeasurable losses to the Wang Consortium, but they suddenly announced that Stronghold 61 had already overcome the crisis during an interview with Hope Media. They were now recruiting new residents for the stronghold, and anyone from the Alliance of Strongholds could come here to live and settle down for the long term.

Although the details were fully summed up in one sentence, this piece of news occupied the entire front page of Hope Media’s newspaper that day!

The Wang Consortium did not state any requirements or mention what kind of people could come here to settle down. They even said they would provide a sum of money to help the people live and arrange suitable jobs for them based on their abilities!

Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he saw this news. He immediately thought of the dirty trick the Wang Consortium had used against the Zhou Consortium. At that time, many of the Zhou Consortium’s refugees fled into the mountains to breed silkworms after the Wang Consortium deliberately started purchasing silk at high prices. This caused a shortage of manpower for the Zhou Consortium’s factories and affected their productivity.

And now?

Who would feel most tempted after reading this piece of news? The stronghold residents of the Zhou and Kong consortiums? Definitely not!

On one hand, the residents of the Zhou and Kong consortiums were not allowed to enter and leave the strongholds freely. On the other hand, they were also leading a good life with their family and friends in their own strongholds. So who would want to leave a place they were familiar with?

However, this piece of news had a different meaning to the refugees!

Ren Xiaosu knew exactly how much those people longed to become stronghold residents since he used to be like that as well!

Right now, the opportunity to become a stronghold resident was presented in front of them and within their reach!
