Chapter 768 What a Pity

"When did you come?" Jiang Hui looked at the newcomer in surprise.

The other party strode over, his neat black military uniform reflecting cold light under the light, with the Xuanwu emblem representing the Zhou faction embroidered on the shoulders and collar, and the military rank badge on the chest representing the identity shining. He strode with high spirits, and with his naturally tall and slender figure, he looked like a young phoenix, quite imposing.

However, the young man was not so tense when he saw his friends, and his calmness instantly disappeared a little. He left the group of people following behind and immediately greeted the two friends.

He came up and patted Jiang Hui on the shoulder, and nodded to Clarence, saying, "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Didn't I send you a message?" Jiang Hui was a little surprised.

"And you didn't reply to any of them." Clarence folded his hands and poured cold water.

".I was in the information blocking area and it was inconvenient to reply to you." Zhou Xiuwen said a little embarrassedly: "Okay, I was wrong, I apologize, let's not talk about this, hurry up and go in, there are too many people here." He inserted between the two people, put one hand on one shoulder, and looked like he was going to show them the world.

Jiang Hui originally thought that the seminar held by the Hillman Group was spectacular enough, but when he came to the Sihai Trading Company, he knew what a big scene was. It was not an exaggeration to say that there were crowds of people. But so many people walked in and out here, but it was not crowded at all, and the sound was not necessarily noisy.

The auction has not started yet, but it is already possible to check in. There are still some small exhibitions and public sales areas inside the Sihai Trading Company for people to visit, which can be regarded as a warm-up before the auction.

However, compared with this, all parties seem to prefer this kind of scene where forces meet and exchange information, so many people did not rush to enter the trading company, but stayed outside to meet and greet.

Of course, Jiang Hui and Clarence were two little brats that were not worth the trouble. They came here to join in the fun, so they had no intention of watching the fun outside. They found the entrance and planned to enter Sihai Trading Company directly. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by Zhou Xiuwen who had been waiting for a long time.

They simply met and said hello, then entered Sihai Trading Company together, ready to find a private room to sit down and have a good talk. It has been a few months since they really met. The last time they met was through online.

However, this world is really small. They didn't make a special appointment, and three of the five people came to the auction. I believe Hillman would have come if he hadn't been free.

It's just different from Jiang Hui and Clarence who just came to watch the fun perfunctorily. Zhou Xiuwen came on behalf of the Zhou faction, so in addition to himself, he also brought a lot of people.

Because of the fundamental subordinate relationship, they all followed Zhou Xiuwen, but judging from their uniforms and emblems, their status would not be low. Facing these elders of extraordinary status, they couldn't leave them aside, even Zhou Xiuwen now didn't have the qualifications.

Zhou Xiuwen briefly introduced the two people, and Jiang Hui and Clarence also returned the greetings in a proper manner. They talked about their own things, and both sides had no objections.

Zhou Xiuwen and Clarence came on behalf of the two families, and they were from different factions, so the arranged boxes were naturally different. However, in order to facilitate the conversation, the three friends who had not seen each other for a long time decided to find a place to talk first, and then go back to their own boxes later.

As for the elders brought by Zhou Xiuwen, they went to inspect the exhibits according to the purpose of this visit. In short, they did their own things. In fact, it was also to leave room for young people to talk.

"Is that the famous kid of Counselor Zhou?" The middle-aged man with a clear facial bone contour and a distinct hooked nose asked the person next to him as he watched the vigorous young man leave.

"That should be right. The boy was thinking all the way. He didn't look as calm as usual. The little dignity he managed to gather a few days ago seemed to be eaten by himself." The female soldier next to him shook her head, looking disgusted, but her tone was quite intimate.

"It's her. I saw her at Zhou's house before. The marshal admired the child very much."

"Why didn't the marshal recruit her?" One person asked in surprise. He was transferred from another legion recently, and was considered a later recruit. He didn't know much about the young master, nor did he know about the friends around Zhou Xiuwen.

Yes, with Jiang Hui, a good seedling with a weak power behind him and excellent talent and character, why didn't Zhou Yuanjing ever think of recruiting people to the Zhou family?

Of course, he thought about it. But this was also a pity for Zhou Yuanjing.

Zhou Xiuwen had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and sooner or later he would have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the empire. Even though he may not be as good as his father, he will sooner or later follow the same path as his father with this power.

Zhou Yuanjing also knew that this body might not last long. As long as he died, regardless of whether Zhou Xiuwen had grown up or not, whether he could bear the heavy responsibility of the world, these things were destined to be on him. So more than ten years ago, he began to plan for Zhou Xiuwen and has been looking for a suitable helper for him. Dorenti Faria is such a role.

However, these elders have been fixed after all, and their identities are different. Zhou Xiuwen wants to completely control the various forces of the Zhou faction. These people may not be so useful at the beginning. He needs younger and more energetic "blood" around him.

Jiang Hui is very suitable. Her background is clean, her parents are both warriors with excellent talents and qualities, and she herself is also extremely qualified. Although Stark, who is behind her, has a close relationship with the Eighth Legion, if Jiang Hui chooses other forces on her own initiative, Lieutenant Colonel Stark will not stop her with his character.

But it seems that it is only suitable. After several contacts with the child and then experiencing the Atlantis incident, Zhou Yuanjing has seen that the child is a talent for generals, and positioning her as a helper will only waste her talents.

And the relationship between Zhou Xiuwen and Jiang Hui is destined to be unsuitable for them to become a pair of superiors and subordinates, which is a development restriction for both of them.

No matter from which angle, he can't recruit this good child who makes him admire and is trusted by Zhou Xiuwen to the Zhou Legion. This is a very regrettable thing for Zhou Yuanjing, who has always cherished talents.

However, although he could not recruit this child into the Zhou Army, as a reward for the other party's care for Zhou Xiuwen over the years, Zhou Yuanjing ordered his subordinates to take good care of this child to prevent anyone from getting dirty hands in and harming him.
