Ma Dafu wasn't quickly persuaded by Ren Zhong's "few words" to immediately dedicate himself to Ren Zhong's camp.

Even if he was indeed moved, one side was an elusive ideal, and the other was the objective reality.

Ma Dafu had many shackles on him.

He couldn't be as decisive as Ren Zhong.

He wanted to join, but inevitably had concerns about Ma Xiaoling.

No matter how many achievements Ren Zhong had to package himself, Old Ma still firmly believed it was a path to certain death.

He was already advanced in age and didn't fear death.

But Ma Xiaoling was still young.

She was innocent.

This became Old Ma's Achilles' heel.

"Ren Zhong, I won't betray you."

"I know."

"But whether I should earnestly join requires careful consideration."

"I understand."

"I hope you understand my dilemma, Ma Xiaoling is still young. This decision doesn't just affect one person."

Ren Zhong: "I understand too."

"So next... I want to arrange for Ma Xiaoling to attend the Advanced Warrior Academy, and I will hire a new Guard Captain for Starfire Town."

Ren Zhong: "Hmm, Jiang Kai is a good choice."

Ma Dafu: "In work, I will still cooperate with you with all my strength."

Ren Zhong: "Hmm. Thank you."

...

Change does not happen overnight. Ma Dafu made the bravest decision fitting his character, taking a bold step forward, but then slightly stepping back due to his concessions to reality.

But Ren Zhong wouldn't give up on Ma Dafu just because of this.

Old Ma was still a comrade worth striving for.

Change is not overnight, it stealthily permeates challenges.

He still had expectations for Old Ma.

...

With the help of the post-modern engineering construction system, the projects in Starfire Town progressed rapidly.

At the latest, in two weeks, the new housing capable of accommodating 15,000 people would be completed.

During these two weeks, a massive amount of wealth would flow like water from Ren Zhong's hands to the scavengers involved in the construction.

The changes brought about by Ren Zhong in Starfire Town also inevitably became fully visible to the world.

Xiao Xingyue, who had the dual identity of a journalist and a Telekinesis Master, appeared again.

In the office in Starfire Town, Reporter Xiao posed several sharp questions to Ren Zhong regarding the development status of Starfire Town.

Ren Zhong spoke eloquently, discussing subjective initiative, human value, and the economic development of the town.

He said, "With my current financial power, it's easy for me to support tens of thousands of non-staff employees. I'm certainly not burning money just to support idlers. In my business map, these scavengers will create enough value in the future."

Xiao Xingyue: "But Starfire Town's resources are limited."

Ren Zhong nodded with a smile, "Of course limited, but the potential is much greater than you imagine. The downfall of Starfire Town in the past was due to Yang Bingzhong's incompetence using outdated management techniques; I won't repeat the same mistakes. I have already performed a comprehensive calculation of the Ruined Beast resources surrounding Starfire Town with my method. Three thousand people is not the capacity limit of Starfire Town."

"If the per capita quality of life is controlled at an appropriate level, accommodating ten thousand people is not a problem. Among these ten thousand people, nearly a thousand will be professional scavengers. The relevant specific algorithm has been submitted to Tanggu Group in the 'New Township Resource Recycling Company Management Measures' document."

"In addition, the thriving development of the Chenhui Mine also provides me with opportunities. The Chenhui Mine has a large demand for human resources, and I have reached an agreement with the relevant subsidiaries of Purple Crystal Mining. Every scavenger working in the Chenhui Mine can support a family. In these families, new talents will emerge. These people will become powerful aids in expanding my business map."

Xiao Xingyue asked again: "So, Mr. Ren, your goals are not just confined between Starfire Town and Chromium Carbon Town?"

Ren Zhong smiled, "Of course! I have confidence in the development of my enterprise. My management method is more efficient, and the level of development and utilization of Ruined Beast resources is higher. I will maximize the value of my employees. I will certainly move outward."

"Then, what is the ultimate result you want to achieve, Mr. Ren?"

Ren Zhong smiled confidently again, "I am grateful for the Citizen system created by the Association, and I will continue to climb along this path. I hope one day in the future, the Ren Group can become a powerful arm of the Nine Major Groups! As for myself and the Ren Family I might create in the future becoming the tenth richest in the world, then I'll be satisfied. When the time is right, I will choose to undergo human freezing, crossing the barrier of time, to witness that moment myself."
