Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 713 [Resolution ●· Infinite Construction Company of All Realms]

dong dong dong-

While Xia Xiu and Turles were talking, there were three knocks on the door. Xia Xiu raised his head slightly, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. He knew that the person he had asked Sophia to bring earlier had arrived.

So he gave Turles a faint smile.

Turles understood what he meant, and then tactfully stepped aside, folded his hands over his chest, and stood quietly on both sides of Xia Xiu together with Secretary-General Pansy who was standing beside him.

Pansy Jane and Turles stood on the left and right, like two door gods.

"Come in."

Xia Xiu said in a calm tone.

As his voice fell, the heavy wooden door was pushed open, and Sophia walked in front, followed by Hart McDowell.

Hart looked a little nervous, but he still maintained a bit of composure and walked with a steady pace.

The two men walked into the office one after the other. The sunlight poured in through the window and shone behind them, making the atmosphere in the room even more solemn.

Hart slowly raised his head and looked around.

His eyes first fell on the furnishings of this temporary office area.

The surroundings of the office are simple but tidy.

The wooden desk was wiped clean, and there were several world maps hanging on the wall. Some yellowed historical documents were projected on the virtual screen, showing important regional marks and information.

Then, Hart's eyes fell on Xia Xiu.

The man sitting behind the desk had short blond hair and golden eyes that seemed to contain wisdom and calmness that could see through everything, yet he was unusually gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

His hands were crossed easily on his abdomen, and he was wearing a blue ring on his right index finger, which was tapping the back of his hand rhythmically, full of comfort and relaxation.

If Hart had to describe the feeling the blond young man gave him, he would associate it with the... sunshine he often basked in outside.

This is the Director of the Administration...

Realizing who the person in front of him was, Hart didn't dare to look at him for too long, for fear that the other party would find it presumptuous.

He quickly withdrew his gaze from the blond young man, and then quickly looked at the other two people around him.

On the left, stood a young woman with a stern face, giving people a feeling that she was not someone to be trifled with.

On the right, standing against the wall was a seemingly young boy. He had a pair of fox ears and his tail hung lazily behind him, swaying slightly with his breathing.

Infected person?
Child?

Hart couldn't help but take another look at Turles.

Turles showed his big white teeth and smiled at Hart very friendly, and his tail wagged from side to side.

Sophia led Hart to Xia Xiu, her steps steady and decisive.

After she stood still, she bowed her head and said to Xia Xiu respectfully:
"Sir Abraham, the people have been brought here."

Xia Xiu nodded slightly, then adjusted his originally lazy posture slightly, leaning forward slightly, appearing more focused and serious.

He glanced at Sophia and said in a gentle tone, "Thank you for your hard work, Sophia."

After hearing this, Sophia bowed slightly, turned around and retreated to Hart's side.

Xia Xiu turned his gaze to Hart.

"Sit down, don't be nervous, I don't eat people." He smiled slightly, with a hint of relaxed teasing in his tone.

Although Xia Xiu's tone was friendly, Hart couldn't help but feel nervous.

He lowered his head slightly, a layer of sweat appeared on his palms, and he slowly walked to the chair in front of him. Then he sat down carefully, with a stiff posture and his hands tightly grasping his knees, as if he was afraid of being rude.

"Your Excellency... I - I'm Hart McDowell," Hart's voice was a little dry, with obvious awe, "I'm a member of the Infected Workers' Union... I'm honored to meet you this time, I..."

He paused, looking a little awkward, as if he was choosing his words, or as if he was considering how to express his thoughts.

"We have all seen the changes you have brought about, and I am very, very grateful to you and the Administration for helping those infected."

Hart finally found some calm words, trying his best to hide the uneasiness in his heart. His voice was a little trembling, but his tone was still stiff. He racked his brains and finally thought of what to say next.

“I…hope that we can continue to have your support and guidance in the future.”

"Well, that's a very formulaic and templated answer, Mr. McDowell." Xia Xiu also deliberately spoke in a more serious tone.

He still used the "Terra broadcasting accent", his voice was low and powerful, and his clear articulation and pronunciation almost sounded like they came from the radio.

Hart was stunned by such a voice.

Xia Xiu looked at him in a daze, and his tone was somewhat teasing, but not embarrassing at all:

"Mr. Hart, if you were to prepare a formal speech, this opening would be impeccable. But here - we don't need to be so formal."

"Relax."

Xia Xiu's teasing made Hart feel embarrassed. His face turned slightly red and his fingers rubbed on his knees involuntarily.

He swallowed softly, feeling his tense shoulders relax slightly as Xia Xiu spoke.

Although he felt that his performance just now was a bit rigid, the blond young man's gentle smile and sense of humor relieved most of the pressure and made him feel a little relieved.

"Sure enough, rumors are not credible."

Hart thought to himself, recalling the various descriptions of Xia Xiu in the tabloids.

What are "sarcastic", "sinister and cunning", "arrogant and conceited", "likes to ridicule and humiliate opponents", "full of all kinds of bad tastes"...

Those sarcastic adjectives seemed so ridiculous at this moment.

"This lord is nothing like the image portrayed in those third-rate tabloids, especially in 'Wandman's Miscellany'. As expected, those reports are full of false rumors. Even the Wandman, no matter how big they are, is just an exaggerated newspaper. They are indeed a third-rate newspaper at best."

As these thoughts passed through his mind, Hart's nervousness began to ebb and his posture became less rigid.

He finally relaxed a little and was no longer uneasy. Hart adjusted his breathing, put his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, and asked tentatively:

"Why did you come to me today to talk to me? Is there anything I can do to help you, or the Administration?"

He weighed every word, his tone full of confusion and question.

Having said that, he rubbed his hands again awkwardly and added in a low voice:

"Sophia didn't reveal too much, and I really can't think of any use that we infected people, ordinary people, can make for you..."

Hart tried his best to sound less nervous, but the confusion in his tone still revealed his inner thoughts.

He really didn't understand what a leader of the infected union like him could do for the Administration that wielded such enormous power.

Xia Xiu looked at him with a smile. This time he did not ask riddles or act mysterious. He crossed his hands, leaned back in his chair, and said with his usual gentle expression:
"Don't underestimate yourself, Mr. McDowell. Everyone has unique value in this world. Each of us, regardless of identity or ability, is irreplaceable. It is these different forces and different voices that jointly promote the progress of the world."

The blond young man's voice was like a spring breeze, carrying a reassuring power.

At least, after listening to it, Hart felt relieved.

“What you have done for the Infected Union is enough to prove your value. And this value is not only limited to the work you do, but also lies in your belief and persistence in the future.”

Xia Xiu paused, a hint of encouragement flashing in his eyes, "You represent not only yourself, but also the millions of infected people behind you. Your voice is what we want to hear."

Just as Hart was lost in thought, Xia Xiu casually pulled out a document from the table next to him and handed it to Hart.

He did not continue to talk nonsense, but said in a calm tone:

"check it out."

Hart heard this and took the document carefully. He glanced at Xia Xiu, with a little curiosity in his heart, lowered his head, and his eyes fell on the title of the first page of the document. The black font caught his eyes - "Draft Opinion of Zhujie Architecture Unlimited Company".

Hart frowned slightly and looked carefully at the words on the document.

"Zhujie Construction Co., Ltd." He whispered the words in the title in confusion, his heart full of confusion.

Xia Xiu looked at the puzzled expression gradually appearing on Hart's face and smiled gently, as if he had expected such a reaction.

He leaned forward slightly, his voice still gentle, but with a power that could answer everything.

"This is part of the future quarantine area renovation project, and it's also an important part of our plan." His tone was calm and methodical, clearing up a fog for Hart. "We not only have to tear down the quarantine wall, but also build new homes, schools, and jobs for the infected."

Hart was still somewhat puzzled. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and his gaze shifted back and forth between Xia Xiu and the clerk.

Xia Xiu caught this slight change, paused for a moment, and then continued:

“To achieve these goals, we need more than just manual labor,” he said, his tone turning softer. “We need all kinds of talent to plan, build, manage and maintain these future buildings.”

After he finished speaking, Xia Xiu glanced at the document in Hart's hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he intended to add a little dramatic pause.

He pointed at the document and motioned Hart to open it. "Well, of course, these are official words."

Hart was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xia Xiu, whose eyes were as humorous as ever.

Xia Xiu nodded at him and continued:
"Take a closer look at the document first. Maybe you'll find something more interesting."

Hart hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and opened the document according to Xia Xiu's instructions.

His fingers slid across the edge of the paper and gently turned it over. The handwriting on the document appeared particularly clear under the sunlight.

The touch of the paper conveys a heavy sense of responsibility, as if every line of words carries the fate of the future quarantine zone.

——Internal draft of Heaven and Collapse Administration——

To:
Union Leader Name: Hart McDowell

From: Hugh Abraham

Date: February 1591, 2 Terran calendar.
Subject: Preliminary opinions on the project of recruiting members of the infected union to join the Zhujie Construction Co., Ltd.
Background and Purpose:
As the Honkai Administration accelerates its expansion across the universe, the demand for its construction projects has increased dramatically, especially in key cross-dimensional facilities, military bases, and hubs. Traditional construction teams can no longer meet our time and technical requirements.

To address this problem, the Authority has formed World Construction Unlimited, a corporation focused on extreme speed construction, combining modified economics and magical technology to efficiently build on a large scale.

In order to further improve the efficiency and execution of construction projects, our bureau plans to absorb members of the Infected Union into the operations of the All-Realm Construction Unlimited Company, making full use of the infected's extraordinary physique, combat ability, magical perception and other characteristics to meet the special needs of cross-dimensional construction projects.

Initial recommendations:

1. Absorb the infected as the core building team:
The infected's physical enhancement and magical perception can significantly improve the speed and quality of construction projects, especially in high-risk or harsh environments, and they are able to perform tasks that regular construction workers cannot undertake.

Our bureau recommends selecting a core team from the members of your union to become the backbone of Zhujie Construction Unlimited Company, responsible for the implementation and maintenance of key construction projects.

2. Provide stable work and living security for infected persons:
After joining the Unlimited Construction Company, the infected will have stable job opportunities, and the Honkai Administration will ensure that they have appropriate medical resources and living subsidies to alleviate the inconvenience caused by the odd-toed foot disease.

Our bureau plans to provide appropriate health checks, treatment support and special living areas for all infected people participating in the project to ensure their long-term stability and health in the project.

3. Jointly promote large-scale construction projects:

The first cooperation project could be the "Purgatory Gate Station" that the Administration is about to launch, which is a construction project of an interdimensional hub station. This project requires high-intensity construction capabilities and special magical support, and the infected team can play an important role in this project.

After the project is completed, our bureau will continue to cooperate based on the results and expand more construction projects in other dimensions.

Union Feedback and Participation:

We hope you can share this advice with your union members to understand their wishes and expectations.

If the PLHIV union agrees to participate in this program, our bureau can arrange a formal meeting to discuss the specific details and conditions of cooperation.

Sincerely,
salute
Hugh Abraham {signature}
Director of the Honkai Administration

He read the beginning of the document with full concentration, his brows slightly wrinkled unconsciously, his eyes revealing seriousness and concentration.

The content of the document is detailed and specific, and each regulation is full of meticulous arrangements.

As for the benefits that the administration provides to the infected, including the renovation of quarantine areas, the construction of schools, and the provision of employment opportunities, all the terms are listed one by one, and an entire blueprint for the future has been planned.

I originally planned to update more to explain the setting and the details later. But today I was too tight on time to write, and I almost missed today's update~~~By the way, the symbol in the chapter title is not for typing, gah. It is the type classification of the resolution later, gah.
