Chapter 429 427. A Strong Alliance

Victor Hotel.

Tang Xueluan was sitting leisurely on the sofa, watching the giant screen casually throwing grapes into her mouth, comfortably waiting for the person she wanted to meet to appear here.

Crack, someone pushed the door open.

She didn't turn her head to confirm the identity of the visitor, but asked directly:
"It's beautifully done."

Marne stopped behind her:

"It's all thanks to you.

"Sorry, I didn't tell you my plan in advance."

The actual situation is similar to Shu Yunpeng's initial deduction. He proposed the price of the three longevity pills because he had already figured out the family's power structure through Tang Xueluan.

The facts went further than Shu Yunpeng thought. Tang Xueluan not only informed him of the specific structure of the Shu family, but also benefited from the information she gave that Ma En would firmly take out the Longevity Pill instead of other benefits.

It was she who took the initiative to tell Ma En how much the three elders of the Shu family wanted to live, which made Ma En confirm that the Longevity Pill was the most cost-effective bargaining chip he could offer.

And the quantity of Longevity Pill is also very important. If it is less, it will not be possible to make a final decision to get the real power holders of the Shu family to agree immediately, but if it is too much, it will be quite troublesome.

Because if he gave four longevity pills, the Shu family might give the extra one to the federation as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits, which would affect Xiaoyao's indirect interest negotiations with the federation, and would naturally affect Xiaoyao's treatment of the federation. own opinion.

The information Tang Xueluan gave him was very important to this negotiation, and it was also quite detailed. It can be said that she, as a member of the Shu family, should not have told outsiders.

"If you tell me, it will be difficult for me to hide it from them." Tang Xueluan also replied, "Even if I can hide it, it's not a good thing, it may cause their dissatisfaction in the future.

"Don't worry, I know you are doing it for our own good, and since I was willing to answer your question at that time, I must be ready to accept any result."

Ma En nodded slightly. He said this because the next thing to do would not be of any benefit to the Shu family, so he was a little worried that Shu Yun would be dissatisfied with his actions.

That's why he said this and confirmed with Tang Xueluan whether the two sides had the same idea.

And judging from the results, the cooperation with Tang Xueluan was really perfect, she easily understood what she wanted to do, and she was willing to do it together with her.

Tang Xueluan showed a sincere smile:
"You can safely trust me. Just as I trust you."

She was indeed very clear about the purpose of Ma En's question, and this matter was indeed harming the interests of the Shu family, but Tang Xueluan didn't think it was a bad thing for her, after all, she was not the next Patriarch of the Shu family.

Although her interests as a junior of the Shu family are highly related to the family, and she does have the opportunity and possibility to be in the position of grandpa in the future, but this possibility is actually very slim.

When she chose to leave the family and work in the company, she had already given this opportunity to her biological sister Shu Yun, because at that time she felt that her sister needed the support of the family more than she did.

This also caused her time to enter the federal government to be delayed until now, so it is actually quite difficult for her to really climb to the position of her father and grandfather today, and to be honest...

She doesn't like being a politician that much, and she only comes back here for quite pragmatic reasons-because her family has enough influence in the political world, here she can go very quickly.

And her parents also need her to be in the political circle, otherwise they and themselves will have to worry about the open and dark arrows of those ambitious politicians in a few decades.

But although she is far from noble enough to abandon the benefits given by the family, if she can exchange the same amount of help that the Shu family has provided her with anomalies or other fields, she will definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

In the past, she didn't have the opportunity to choose. To be precise, the entire Federation didn't have any areas that she "liked" and could cultivate. If she had to say it, the former Salvation Alliance might be more to her liking. In fact, she had thought about it before. Following in the footsteps of that Skywalker, Shenxiao's personality charm almost made her make this wrong decision, but in the end she gave up this idea after careful consideration,

After all, this path was too difficult for her. She wasn't even considered a capable person. Even if she joined the Salvation League at that time, she probably wouldn't be able to gain any status in it.

And looking at it now, that was a pretty wise decision.

Because although she didn't join the Salvation Alliance, she saw a new opportunity because of the disbandment of this organization, and that was Ma En, who was sitting diagonally across from her at the moment, this young ability user with unlimited potential.

And this is her chance.

The experience of working in the company for many years has made her develop a vision that is completely different from those of politicians. She has already noticed the value of Ma En a few times before seeing him, and as time goes by, Ma En in her eyes En is still rising in value.

And after several exchanges with the family, she was sure that her opinion of Ma En was quite different from that of the rest of the Shu family. Although they did not underestimate Ma En, they also felt that they did not value him as much as she did.

Even though she emphasized it repeatedly, they still didn't seem to notice the value in their own eyes. After confirming this point, Tang Xueluan didn't question her own judgment, but insisted that her own opinion was closer to the truth.

That's why she had clearly guessed what Mann was thinking, and also told him the important information that would harm the Shu family's interests, because she had already made a very important decision at that time.

"When are you going to let them know what you think about Xiaoyao." Tang Xueluan said, "Although I said that you are somewhat dissatisfied with Xiaoyao's oppression, their idea is still to use this to put pressure on you."

Mann replied:
"Don't worry, we will use the Federation to deal with Xiaoyao sooner or later, but it's not the time yet."

The "we" here refers to the two of them, not including the Shu family.

Tang Xueluan nodded, and then said the most important thing:
"My dad is already working on your business. They have encountered some difficulties, but you don't have to worry. Give them a little more time to solve all those problems. There will be some dirty things happening, but it's all up to you. I have nothing to do with it, we'll just sit back and reap the fruits of success."

Mann nodded and said:

"Okay, just continue to observe the situation of the Shu family, and let me know if there is any problem."

Although they didn't say anything in particular when they met this time, they have quietly established a much closer cooperative relationship than before, and they have already sensed each other's intentions without saying anything.

There are several reasons for this.

The important factor that really made Tang Xueluan make up her mind was that she saw the extremely high possibility of Ma En being promoted to Tier V in this incident, and for some reason she couldn't explain, she felt that Ma En would succeed.

The status of a powerful and intelligent V-level ability user as the most important ally in the federation is far higher than the achievements and status she can achieve in the Shu family.

But other than that, it's also because she doesn't worry about Ma En getting a new partner in the future.

Because not only is Man himself the kind of person who would betray an ally, she is also the best ally for Man, and what she can provide to Man is irreplaceable by other politicians.

If it were any other member of the Shu family, it would be impossible for her to cooperate with Ma En like this time.

And Ma En doesn't have to worry about betraying him at all, because although she doesn't think she is a good person, if she is placed among these politicians, she can be regarded as "virtuous".

They are all aliens in this federal government system, but they all have reasons to integrate into it.

Both she and Mann have their own bottom line, and both are much higher than other powerful politicians, and unlike other politicians, she will not act on her own bottom line.

I will take Mann's bottom line as their requirement for action, which other politicians cannot give to Mann. It is difficult for them to even realize what Mann wants to do or not, because they have almost no bottom line.

A similar bottom line is actually a particularly scarce resource for collaborators, and this is more important for collaborators with higher bottom lines. For example, members of the Salvation Alliance have difficulty accepting the methods of ordinary politicians.

This kind of "understanding and respect" she has for Ma En is actually the bargaining chip she can give Ma En.

They have a similar bottom line, can understand each other, and have complementary abilities. I am afraid that such a partner cannot be found in the entire federation. Even if they are found, they will not have the trust they have built.

They will be the perfect partners.

Thinking of this, she hesitated for a few seconds, then said:
"Also, thank you for your help with Grandpa's matter, although I have already made sufficient psychological preparations for this family when I came back, and I also understand that not everything can be done according to my ideas.

"But in any case, it is difficult for me to accept that I am a political tool for marriage."

Mann said softly

"You're welcome, this is what I should do, and our cooperative relationship absolutely does not need this kind of thing as a constraint. After all, the partner is not me and your family, right?"

Most importantly, this respect and understanding is mutual.

Tang Xueluan showed a smile:

"Yes, I know that you will definitely not agree to his request, but I still thank you very much, because in fact, you can also abandon me and cooperate with them, although I know that you don't like this dirty thing.

"But you can actually do it by suppressing your nausea. After all, you have joined the Federation."

Mann smiled and said:

"That's right, but I don't want to cooperate with them. You are an ally who is countless times better than the Shu family."

In his eyes, Tang Xueluan is indeed a rare and suitable ally. At the beginning, he was willing to accept cooperation with her because he felt the subtle difference between her and others. With the continuous cooperation between them, Tang Xueluan did not act as he feared. Letting myself down proves that she is worthy of my trust.

But now, Tang Xueluan has decisively pulled their cooperative relationship out of the Shu family's system, and this has completely dispelled the possibility of Ma En doubting her, because now her interests are highly consistent with his own.

Tang Xueluan also showed a confident smile:

"I believe that it won't take long before we will bring changes that the lifeless Federation can't expect."
