Chapter 563 - It’s Not My Aspiration To Be Conferred A Noble Rank, I Only Wish For An Unruffled Sea (1/2)

Truth Department Headquarters in China.

Ren Ruofeng was looking at a report.

“The Rise of the Seafolk – A Talk on the Octopuses’ Unity Progress.”

“Hehe, looks like that childish octopus is maturing very quickly. A demon and a cultivator. When these two identities are combined, its growth becomes more rapid than ordinary people.” Ren Ruofeng nodded and said.

Subsequently, he made a phone call.

Not long after, a seemingly simple and good-natured middle-aged man walked over. He looked weather-beaten, and was quite dejected as if he had long suffered a heavy blow.

“Oh, Xie Dong, are you still busy now?” Ren Ruofeng asked caringly.

“Uh, what, what do you think?” Xie Dong replied with a bitter face.

Ren Ruofeng no longer showed a nice look, he sneered. “I think you must be quite idle to be able to make this joke. I have a task for you, you’re the leader of the Public Relations team now, it happens to be your duty.”

“I’ve been doing quite a lot of foreign duties as well…” Xie Dong mumbled softly.

“Louder, I can’t hear you!” Ren Ruofeng yelled fiercely.

“I promise to complete my task!” Xie Dong quivered then stood up straight.

“This is more like it. That octopus disciple you used to educate has already grown into a king in less than a year’s time, it’s a perfect opportunity for us to unfold in-depth cooperation.” Ren Ruofeng told him plainly.

“How are we going to cooperate?”

“I’d like to first hear your opinion?” Ren Ruofeng was testing him.

Xie Dong was startled. After racking his brain for a long while, he responded, “I think we can let them develop marine tourism, which is environmentally friendly. On top of that, the octopuses can pull board, I believe quite a number of curious individuals will sit on them…”

“Sounds like you’re very experienced in this, this is a talk from experience…” Ren Ruofeng spoke with intention.

“Uh, advisor, you’re flattering me, I only gave some tentative suggestions.” Xie Dong acted dumb, there was no way he would mention about him traveling around the world on a dolphin in the past.

That was indeed a wonderful experience, which was just like modern people when they traveled, where they spent lavishly on ancient carriages for tours.

However, there were too many people who rode on horses, whereas there were very few who rode on fishes. The size of this market was unimaginable.

“Tourism is only a part of the entertainment industry, it’s environmentally friendly but it doesn’t produce wealth effectively. My suggestion is to make them bear responsibility for the ocean’s safety.” Ren Ruofeng could not be bothered to go round in circles anymore. After he beat around the bush, he stated his true intentions.

“Advisor, you’re very wise. For the recent two years, there has been an inflation of items imported by sea. I’ve seen some news that reported the issue of sea transportation being impractical, causing companies to hoard their stock… Some locations were unable to sell any, while some were unable to import items. Just like corn and wheat from America, as long as they’re transported to the ocean, it’ll be like a sheep entering a wolf pack, what’s gone won’t come back…” Xie Dong commented respectfully.

“Hehe, you’re quite knowledgeable, you didn’t waste your university days.” Ren Ruofeng nodded and continued, “That’s right, many ocean demons are very fond of humans’ food exports. To them, when the food supply ship goes to sea, it’s just like humans tossing food into an aquarium, it’s natural for it to disintegrate into a messy scramble.”

“I understand, I’ll go look for Brother Twelve Arms to discuss this now?” Xie Dong probed.

Ren Ruofeng nodded, then threw a proposal to him which had he had prepared for a long time.

“Take a good look at this proposal. Strive to make them protect the sea routes in China and America, suppress those unlawful ocean demons, and fight to restore the main fairway to the way it was before the Era of Vitality, in three months to half a year’s time.” Ren Ruofeng instructed.

‘This is really a heavy task, damn you, I’ll have to work overtime every day…’

Xie Dong held on to that thick proposal book, and instantly looked like he was drowning in sorrow.

“What are you sulking about? When this is done, and the prices of items decline, won’t your family benefit from this as well? This is a huge matter that will benefit the country, the people, and yourself, it won’t be possible for a person who’s not a saint. The moment you accomplish this, you’ll be given all the credit. Regarding Elder Ancestor Bai’s matter, I’m sure you’ve heard vaguely that without meritorious services, ten of them were already exterminated by the Venerable One. Now, it’s only a suppression, it’s already very fortunate.” At last, Ren Ruofeng exhorted.

“Uh, yes, yes. Advisor, you truly have great foresight, while I’m very short-sighted, I can’t compare, I can’t compare.” Xie Dong was aggrieved.

“Quickly get on with it, I’d like to see your progress report three days later.” With a bossy posture that said “I only look at the ends results, not the means”, Ren Ruofeng ordered him.

Xie Dong carried the proposal book then left angrily.

As a matter of course, this proposal was highly feasible.

That being said, it would definitely be a tricky one, and it would be exceptionally exhausting.

How far apart were the sea routes of China and America? Previously, he had followed Twelve Arms to travel on the ocean so he had a rough idea of it. Even if it was not two thousand miles apart, it was at least eighteen thousand miles apart…
