Chapter 1050 Those with loved ones grieve, those with enemies rejoice.
"Minister Lu's presence is truly an honor for the Watchers Alliance!"
Knowing that Lu Benwei had brought Zhan Wei to visit, Su Chen did not neglect him.
Instead, he personally came out to greet them, accompanied by Zhao Man, Luo Xiaotian, and others.
"Oh, Xiao Su, you're too kind."
Lu Benwei walked up warmly, shook Su Chen's hand, and said with a smile,
"You've really given me a lot of face by agreeing to see you."
"Minister Lu, you flatter me. Let's not stand here, let's go inside and talk."
Su Chen gestured for them to enter and led Lu Benwei and the others into the base.
Once everyone was seated in the reception room, Lu Benwei took the initiative to speak.
"Xiao Su, there was a bit of trouble within the Vermilion Bird Sect a while ago."
"So when the Sakura people attacked, we didn't have time to spare any manpower."
"I didn't expect your Watchers Alliance to be so powerful, actually defeating the Sakura people!"
"On behalf of Zhuque and other compatriots of China, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you!"
Hearing this, Wang Yan muttered to himself.
"Tch, is there an accident or just a lack of assistance?"
"And all we get in return for winning is this congratulations? We could have something more substantial!"
Although he muttered softly, don't forget that everyone here is a superhuman with hearing far exceeding that of ordinary people, so they naturally heard everything he said.
In fact, everyone knew why Suzaku didn't offer any help.
But Wang Yan's muttering brought the matter to light.
An awkward expression flashed across the faces of Lu Benwei, Zhan Wei, and the others.
"Wang Yan, shut up!"
Su Chen glared at Wang Yan, then spoke to Lu Benwei in a friendly tone.
"I have failed to manage my subordinates properly, and I have made Minister Lu laugh at me."
Rubenwei coughed lightly and laughed.
"This Brother Wang Yan is certainly outspoken."
"But he's right, a large sum of money is worse than empty words of concern."
"To recognize Su Laoda's contributions, Zhuque has decided to reward him with the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was deeply moved.
"Is this true?"
"If I came in person, would I lie to you, Xiao Su?"
Rubenwei nodded to Zhanwei.
Zhan Wei took out a copy from his pocket and carefully handed it to Su Chen.
Su Chen took it and glanced at it, while also using the system's scanning function.
"Ding."
"The True Understanding of All Things".
"After cultivating this mental technique, the host's perception of the elements will be enhanced, and they will be able to freely use various elemental abilities and spells!"
It really is a treasure!
Su Chen was secretly delighted, but he remained outwardly calm.
He pretended to be indifferent and put away the Myriad Realms True Understanding.
"Then thank you very much for the reward, Minister Lu!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Benwei not only did not feel pleased, but instead frowned slightly.
Because Su Chen thanked him, not Zhuque.
"Xiao Su, I have a few things I'd like to discuss with you privately. What do you think?"
"You all go down first."
Su Chen whispered instructions to Zhao Man and the others.
Lu Benwei nodded to Chao Zhanwei, Zhong Yage, and the others.
Soon, only Su Chen and Lu Benwei remained in the room.
"We're both smart people, so I'll be blunt."
Rubenwei sighed.
"The reason why Zhuque did not send troops this time is all because of Chengkun."
Su Chen understood this without him having to say it.
Not a family, do not enter the door.
This Cheng Kun is just as petty and narrow-minded as Liu Hailong.
"Xiao Su, from the bottom of my heart, I hope that the Watchers Alliance can be integrated into Suzaku."
"Although it is still the apocalypse, the climate and everything else have stabilized."
"Human civilization urgently needs to be restarted!"
"Not to mention, China also faces threats from Japan and the United States."
"If we continue to fight amongst ourselves, it will only hurt our loved ones and please our enemies!"
Lu Benwei earnestly advised.
"Minister Lu, of course I understand these principles."
"But from the very beginning, it seems like the higher-ups at Suzaku were targeting me, right?"
Su Chen smiled dismissively.
"What happened before was Suzaku's fault."
Lu Benwei said apologetically,
"But after this battle between the Watchers and the Sakura Kingdom, the Commander realized the strength of the Watchers."
"He has changed his attitude and plans to try to win him over and appease him in the future..."
Su Chen interrupted Lu Benwei.
"And what about Cheng Kun?"
"he……"
Lu Benwei was speechless.
Based on his understanding of Cheng Kun, he doubted that Cheng Kun would give up so easily.
"Well... no matter what Cheng Kun does, the research department and I will stand by your side, Xiao Su."
Su Chen tapped the table lightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said,
"Minister Lu, I can assure you."
"As long as Suzaku treats me sincerely, I will treat Suzaku sincerely in return."
"But if Cheng Kun dares to scheme against me again, I won't be polite to him!"
Lu Benwei knew this was Su Chen's final bottom line, so he simply nodded.
"sure, no problem!"
"That's good. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you!"
Su Chen extended his hand to Lu Benwei.
The two shook hands again, symbolizing that the rift between the Watchers and Suzaku had been temporarily repaired.
"Oh, by the way, now that we've resumed cooperation, Suzaku should also accept Suzaku's constraints and management, just like other organizations..."
Lu Benwei cautiously made his request.
"What kind of constraints and management methods are in place?"
Su Chen didn't rush to refuse, but instead asked a question in return.
“Every organization needs a special envoy from Zhuque to be stationed there for supervision and restraint.”
Lu Benwei explained.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then smiled.
"That's no problem, but I have one request."
"please say."
"That's the special envoy; I'll need to appoint him, shall I?"
Rubenwei's heart skipped a beat.
"You want to designate Zhanwei?"
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded.
He has a good relationship with Zhanwei, and Zhanwei is a good person.
Having Zhanwei as the special envoy will reduce a lot of trouble.
If Cheng Kun were to appoint a special envoy, Su Chen would probably be disgusted.
“I originally wanted Zhanwei to be the special envoy, but the research institute can’t do without him.”
Rubenwei hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said,
What do you think of Ya-Yun?
"That's fine too. Why don't we let her stay with the crow?"
"OK, it's settled then!"
Lu Benwei nodded with a smile.
"Xiao Su, Ya Yun is the daughter of my old comrade-in-arms, and she is quite talented."
"If she stays with the Watchers, you'll have to take good care of her."
He paused, then chuckled softly.
"Ya Yun is still single. If you think she's nice, you can try pursuing her."
Looking at Lu Benwei's somewhat disrespectful behavior towards his elders, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm sorry, Minister Lu."
"I now have more than a dozen female confidantes by my side."
Lu Benwei looked at Su Chen with some surprise.
"There are already more than a dozen?"
"He's certainly a dashing young man!"
