Quan Yuxun said meaningfully, "That's what it means to be capable. That's why Her Royal Highness the Princess had good intentions in letting you come to the Special Security Bureau for training. Ruoan, here, you'll learn to be flexible, learn to compromise, learn how to take advantage of situations and accomplish what you want without any constraints."
After Quan Yuxun's guidance, Zong Ruoan's mood gradually improved.
In fact, if you give him enough time, he will come to his senses.
But with a discerning friend to guide him, he can get out of it faster and reduce a lot of unnecessary emotional energy.
He looked at Quan Yuxun and said with a smile, "As expected of the Quan family's son. Although you've almost never left the upper echelons of the empire, it turns out you understand the lives of the lower classes..."
Quan Yuxun also relaxed his body, crossed his legs, and said lightly: "There are so many people in my Quan clan, and not everyone is rich and powerful."
"That's right. After all, you're going to be the head of the Quan clan in the future." Zong Ruoan raised his coffee cup towards him. "I'll learn from you."
Quan Yuxun ignored him, twirling the jade-colored coffee cup in his hand, and said with a half-smile, "...Weren't you trained according to the standards of the Zong clan leader?"
In order to maintain the consistency of the family's goals and avoid internal friction, the patriarchs of the four noble families must also be the heirs to the title.
Zong Ruoan smiled bitterly: "My great Chief Quan, please don't look down on me. You know that our Zong family has a big wife, and the big wife has an only son. He is also the eldest grandson of our Zong family's eldest wife, and he has the same status as you."
Quan Yuxun smiled and said meaningfully, "Really? But he is a posthumous child."
In other words, the eldest son of the Zong clan leader had passed away, leaving behind only a posthumous child, who was the eldest grandson of the Zong clan's eldest branch.
This person's position is actually quite embarrassing.
Unless the eldest grandson of the eldest house can skip the second generation and inherit the title directly from their grandfather, otherwise, it's uncertain.
Zong Ruoan remained silent.
He was the eldest son of the second branch of the Zong family. His eldest uncle had passed away. His father was the second son and married the eldest princess of the empire.
In the Zong clan, the status of their second branch had long since secretly surpassed that of the first branch.
But Zong Ruoan really didn't want to, and for this reason, he inherited the title over his eldest cousin.
Quan Yuxun stopped there and changed the subject, asking, "Are you really not considering going home for a few days? It's New Year's Eve, and the Zong clan will also come to your Zong family mansion to pay New Year's greetings. And as for Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Zong Ruoan shook his head: "I will go home after I finish my work here. I celebrate the New Year every year anyway, so this time won't make a difference."
"What are you busy with? Do you need my help?" Kwon Yuxun asked casually.
Zong Ruoan was about to speak when he suddenly remembered the Special Security Bureau's confidentiality regulations. He immediately said with a wry smile, "Anyway, it's just those things, not many, just trivial. I was planning to report to Inspector Huo and ask for more manpower. The people I have right now are not enough."
Quan Yuxun nodded. "Okay, if you need any help, just ask. Regardless of our friendship since childhood or the thousands of years of mutual support between our two families, I will not sit idly by."
At this point, Zong Ruoan thought about the incident with Fan Chengcai and sighed, "So, considering the emotional and logical reasons and the friendship between our two families over the years, you still have to side with His Majesty the Emperor and Inspector Huo... I've lost this battle wholeheartedly."
Quan Yuxun knew that Zong Ruoan needed time to resolve his concerns, so he didn't want to continue the conversation. He just said, "How is Mulan City? I only know that the Exotic Beast Forest north of Mulan City has black truffle wild rhinoceros and unicorn beef, but the winters here are really cold."
Zong Ruoan finished the rest of his coffee and said, "This winter is indeed unusually cold. And because the humanoid slaves in the humanoid plantation rebelled at the end of last year, the harvest from the humanoid plantation on Guiyuan Star this year won't be very good. It's likely only enough for the royal family, and the nobles may not even get a quota."
Among the five main planets of the Beichen Empire, Guiyuan Star is the most remote and backward, but the land on Guiyuan Star is also the most primitive and fertile.
The grains and vegetables grown by the humanoid slaves of Guiyuan Star with their bare hands are also the best tasting.
Although its nutritional value is not as good as that of high-level nutrient solution, it is comparable to that of medium-level nutrient solution, far exceeding the function of low-level nutrient solution, and ordinary food is far behind.
Therefore, the aristocracy of the Beichen Empire has long been accustomed to purchasing their daily food, especially rice and flour, from the humanoid plantations controlled by the royal family.
