The Interpas in front of him was respectful, and the female secretary beside him was very nervous.
Han Xiao looked at the two and confirmed one thing in his heart. He really has no impression of these two, which means that they are not famous NPCs in the previous life, at least not famous among the player group.
However, lack of fame does not mean incompetence. The Xinghai area is vast, and there are always many characters that players have never been in contact with. Interpas may have no achievements in his previous life, or he may have died young, so he is unknown.
Han Xiao's main idea for finding potential stocks is to use previous life data as a reference, but in addition to this, it is also possible to dig out potential talents.
Before he came, Han Da technician checked the past of this person - complete resume, clean foundation, started a civilized local consortium from scratch, made several strategic decisions with a good foresight, and managed the consortium very prosperously. If you pay attention to yourself, you will not deliberately check such a small person.
In his opinion, although Interpas has no combat power, he has a good talent in handling affairs and can be brought back to help Sylvia.
With all kinds of thoughts in mind, Han Xiao didn’t speak for a while, but his silence made Interpas’s psychological pressure exponentially increase.
A drop of sweat that reflected the light fell down his temples, and Interpas kept his head bowed in a salute, not daring to raise his hands to wipe the sweat.
Han Xiao put away his thoughts and joked:
"Are you going to let me just stand here?"
"Sorry, it was my negligence, please come with me, I have already made arrangements." Interpas hurriedly responded, secretly annoyed, Han Xiao's strong life-level coercion made him lose an inch, for fear that his negligence would make Han Xiao Xiao was dissatisfied.
Interpas led the way, leading Han Xiao and Aurora to the flying vehicle, separating all the bodyguards, leaving only the four of them in the private compartment.
The vehicle started and flew all the way to the center of the city. In the carriage, Interpas and the female secretary sat opposite Han Xiao and Aurora, with a rather restrained attitude.
"You invited me here, why are you so nervous?" Han Xiao said.
"There are no more than 100 people in the entire universe who can remain calm in front of you, not including me." Interpas calmed down and complimented.
It's a pity that Great Technician Han doesn't take this kind of flattery, and his mentality has not changed. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitches, and he says with a smile that's not a smile:
"Yes, you seem to have lied to me, you are not the lord of this planet yet."
Interpas was refreshed, and a secret message came. He stabilized his emotions to calm himself, and raised a smile, "It's only temporary. With my current approval rate, it's a matter of time to be elected as a planet lord."
Han Xiao was noncommittal, hehe said with a smile: "So, your so-called helping the Black Star Legion to establish a branch here, you need to wait for you to become a planet lord to realize it?"
This sharp question goes straight to the core. Although Interpas thought so, he did not dare to admit it verbally, but only used silence to represent acquiescence.
The other party's reaction did not exceed Han Xiao's expectations. He paused and smiled with interest: "If that's the case, why don't I directly cooperate with the current planet lord?"
"The election day is coming soon, I will definitely be elected as the planet lord, and I will be responsible for cooperating with you in the end, so I invite you in advance while you are nearby." Interpas knew that this reason was untenable, but it was just for face. an excuse.
Before he invited Han Xiao, he considered the consequences of annoyed Black Star, knowing that Black Star might turn around and cooperate with several major families. However, this was originally a gamble. If Black Star didn’t come, and he had no chance to come back, then even if Black Star cooperated with his opponent, what was the difference from his previous situation? After weighing the gains and losses, he decided to use Black Star's influence.
But the statement is "use". In fact, Interpas is very clear that this is a help. It is impossible for him to hide from a big man of Black Star's level. Whether Black Star will come or not is a matter of uncertainty. .
And now that people are here, it means that Black Star knows his subtext well and is willing to help him, so as long as he doesn't face it, it is convenient for both sides.
Hearing what the other party said, Han Xiao stopped embarrassing him, shook his head and laughed.
He is very familiar with Interpas' approach, which is exactly the "blank check" in "Seventy-two Fudges".
He couldn't help thinking of a story with a similar principle that he had seen in a previous life - a young man wanted to be the son-in-law of a rich man in the world, so he ran to a famous bank to apply for a job, claiming that he was the son-in-law of a rich man, and wanted to get a high-level position, followed by his He went to the rich man again, claiming that he was a high-level executive of a famous bank and wanted to marry the rich man's daughter.
Although the story is false, this move is very similar to what Interpas is doing now.
"This wave of operations is still possible, although it is a bit risky, the success rate is not high..."
Han Xiao nodded secretly.
But well, in the eyes of others, this is a white wolf with empty gloves, but in his eyes, this is a proper introduction of a wolf into the room. A wild leek pulls its legs and jumps into his bowl on his own initiative. He is sorry for his identity. !
Establishing a branch on an ordinary planet is just a petty profit. Han Xiao doesn’t care about it at all. What he is drawing is Interpas.
No matter in which era, talent is an important resource.
A quest was triggered on the panel, but it only rewarded a small amount of experience, which was better than nothing, and Han Xiao accepted it.
All the way to Interpas' villa, Han Xiao took Aurora to live in. Interpas was afraid of offending the boss, so he was relieved after arranging everything.
The bodyguards all returned to their posts. In the corridor, the female secretary couldn't help wrapping Interpas's neck from behind, looking excited when she saw that there was no one left or right.
"Great, with the help of Black Star, we will win!"
Interpas squeezed out a smile, then shook his head and said solemnly: "It's enough for the Black Stars to come, I'm just borrowing his deterrent power, as long as the big families don't cheat, I can win the election dignifiedly. !"
"You don't know, when Black Star showed up just now, I was almost scared to death." The female secretary rolled her eyes, "This time is really too risky, don't do this in the future."
"If it wasn't for the bold use of this trick, our end would definitely not be better." Interpas's eyes were firm, "It's useless to keep guessing the big man's idea, if you don't try it, how do you know if others will help? Chances are needed. Take the initiative!"
…
On the other hand, the arrival of Han Xiao shocked several powerful families in Radboudo Star. After hearing the news, the patriarchs immediately assembled to discuss what to do.
In the conference room, the heads and important members of several major families all looked serious, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Our information does not show that Interpas has any background, why did Black Star come to see him in person?" A family owner was puzzled.
"There must be some omissions in our intelligence, go check his relationship with Black Star immediately! Before that, all plans and layouts for Interpas will be stopped!" Another shouted.
The existence of Black Star disrupted their overall plan and became a huge obstacle that could not be ignored in the layout. The consequences of all actions must take Black Star's attitude into consideration.
Everyone present was amazed at the relationship between the two, which was exactly what Interpas wanted to misunderstand the big families.
With Black Star nearby, the assassination plan is impossible, and the success rate is zero. If Interpas is really a friend of Black Star, they will die if they dare to mess around.
The members of several major families are all in their hearts. At most, they can make a fortune on this planet. Compared with Black Star, they are no different from ants.
Even if Black Star slaughtered them, there would be no waves in the universe. As a vassal civilization under the jurisdiction of the empire, it is impossible for the central government to stand up for them.
If you die, you will give it for nothing!
"Fortunately, we stopped the assassination in time, otherwise I'm afraid now..." A patriarch had lingering fears.
"The current planet lord is still a member of our family. Let's go visit Black Star first. I can't fault this behavior, maybe I can find out some information."
…
A few hours later, the current planet lord of Radboudo took a gift and took a group of people to visit Interpas' villa.
Han Xiao lived in the villa, but he was more like the owner of the villa. Interpas did not dare to refuse visitors on behalf of Han Xiao, so he obediently reported it.
Lord Radboudo waited outside the door for a while before being allowed in. He suppressed his nervousness about seeing the big man and came all the way to the reception room.
As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned. There was no Han Xiao in the room, only a petite and lovely girl, sitting on the sofa seriously.
When he came back to his senses, he remembered that this was a subordinate who was following Black Star, and hurriedly put away his surprise and sat honestly opposite.
"Just tell me if you have anything." Aurora tried her best to put on a meticulous and serious expression.
Star Lord Radboudo smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands, where is his usual majestic appearance, and his tone was flattering:
"As the ruler of Radboudo, I would like to visit Your Excellency Black Star and arrange the reception of His Excellency Black Star..."
"Don't worry about it, Black Star Your Distinguished Self is not what you want to see." Aurora waved her hand and imitated the tone of Han Xiao's teaching her vividly, "If there is nothing else, please come back."
The Lord of Star Radboudo did not give up, and tried a few more words. When he saw Aurora frowning, he did not dare to stay for a long time, and immediately stood up and left.
When he walked out of the villa, the face of Star Lord Radboudo became extremely ugly. He couldn't even see Black Star's face, but Interpas was able to receive Black Star in person. The meaning of this represented made his heart sink. Valley bottom.
…
Han Xiao's current status can make many low-level complicated things simple. The shadow of the famous tree of people, several major families are all intimidated, and they are afraid of attracting the wrath of Black Star. They dare not use excessive means at will. , so they could only watch Interpas continue to campaign and propaganda, and the approval rate rose all the way, but they could do nothing to stop it.
Han Xiao waited for a while at Radboudo Star while exercising his strength, and soon came the election day.
On Election Day, Interpas won the election with an overwhelming approval rating.
He delivered an impassioned inaugural speech under the global broadcast, walked through the ceremony, and most of the day passed.
It was getting late and the night was falling. The inaugural speeches were scrolled on the external screens of high-rise buildings in the city. From time to time, passersby stopped and looked up to watch. From time to time, some small bars on the street heard cheers and clinking of glasses from ordinary people.
The flying vehicle moved slowly in mid-air. Interpas, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the scenes of the city through the window, and the lights of thousands of houses flashed light streaks in his eyes.
Under the night, his excitement and joy gradually faded, and he couldn't be happy when he thought that there was still a great god waiting for him at home.
The vehicle stopped in front of the villa, which was obviously his home, but at this moment he was discouraged, like a dormant monster. Interpas took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and strode into the villa.
"You're back?"
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Aurora leaning against the wall, waiting for him in the hallway, pointing upstairs and smiling softly.
"He's waiting for you in the study."
Interpas squeezed his fingers nervously and came to the study upstairs.
There was only Han Xiao in the room, with his back facing him, standing in front of the bookshelf holding a book and reading with his head down, he didn’t need to look back to know that someone had arrived, and said lightly:
"Come and sit."
"Good, good."
The atmosphere in the room made Interpas swallow involuntarily and sit on the chair in front of the desk.
Han Xiao closed the book and faced Interpas with no expression on his face.
"Now that you've won the election, it's time to fulfill the conditions."
Interpas breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "I understand, I will immediately use the power in my hand to arrange for the full cooperation between Radboudo and the Black Star Legion, and support the Legion to establish a branch here with the greatest strength. …”
However, before he could finish speaking, Han Xiao waved his hand to interrupt him.
"It's not such a trivial matter that I'm talking to you now."
Interpas groaned in his heart.
Han Xiao stared at him calmly and said slowly: "Since the matter has been completed, then I will say it publicly, you use my deterrent power to help you deter several major families, this is only your superficial goal, and Your second purpose is to establish a branch here through the Legion and obtain the long-term support of the Legion... Only in this way can you ensure that you are firmly seated as the lord."
Interpas heard the words and was silent.
This was indeed his plan.
The success of the election is just the beginning. Several big families have been operating in Radboudo Star for so many years, and they have already controlled officials at all levels. Even if he becomes a lord, he is just an empty shell and basically has no power. After Black Star left, several major families investigated the relationship between the two, and their lives were still in danger.
So in order to think long-term, he must find a backstage and a backer.
And Black Star, who happened to be nearby, caught his attention and became his first choice. Another goal of this plan is to transform the Black Star Legion into its own backer, and to stand firm as the lord through the momentum of cooperation.
"What do you want?"
Interpas pursed his lips, his expression gloomy.
Han Xiao looked at him and suddenly smiled, the solemn atmosphere in the room dissipated immediately.
"Don't be so nervous, since I choose to help you, naturally I won't hurt you."
Interpas thought about it too, and his tense nerves suddenly loosened.
However, before he could take a breath, Han Xiao's next sentence froze his movements.
"Okay, you've had enough fun, pack your things and get on the boat with me."
The voice fell, and Interpas's expression instantly froze.
