Chapter 58: Recognize the person first
"There's no need to be so polite, Governor Riley." Anos An said politely with a smile, but did not mean to stop him from pouring the wine.
"Master Star Lord, would you like to try it?"
Anos An picked up the wine glass, sniffed it carefully for a second, and then put the glass back on the table.
"Lord Star Lord, don't you like the taste of this wine?" Claire Riley's eyes darkened, but her face still maintained a perfect smile and respect.
"No, I just think we should talk about business first so we can drink this wine." Anos An raised his eyebrows slightly. "What do you think, Archon Riley?"
"That's right, Star Lord." Claire Riley nodded repeatedly. "I wonder what arrangements Star Lord has for us to come here?"
"It's nothing serious. The main thing is to recognize the people first." Anos An's eyes turned and looked at the other two sentries who had been silent. "I can't recognize everyone. I don't know who to talk to about this."
"Besides, aren't all of us here yet? There seems to be a lot of chores to do on Planet S942! It's likely to keep our councillors so busy that they'll forget about time."
As soon as Anos An finished speaking, Claire Riley's expression changed visibly.
"What's wrong with you, Archon Riley? Why do you look so unwell?"
"Nothing." Claire Riley smiled bitterly. "I was negligent just now. Let me introduce these two to you first."
"This is Claire Chi Enli and his family head, Lia Enli, one of the three councillors in charge of the military, with the rank of Marshal."
"Master Star Lord." Claire Chi Enli and Leah Enqi stood up at the same time and nodded slightly.
Claire Chi Enley looked quite strong, comparable to Bai Yan, but there were no obvious scars on his body.
He has had a stern face from the beginning until now. I don’t know if he is dissatisfied with me or for some other reason.
Anos An looked at Claire Chi Enli, nodded, and motioned him to sit down.
"This is Claire Xunsheng and his family head, Claire Killua, who is also one of the three councilors and is in charge of administrative affairs."
"Master Star Lord." Claire Xunsheng and Claire Killua stood up and bowed very respectfully.
He has an ordinary face and a peaceful and calm atmosphere, which makes him very suitable for administrative work.
"Yeah." Anos An nodded, and after watching the two sit down, he didn't say anything, but just stared at Claire Riley indifferently.
"There's also a councilor in charge of finances. He..." Claire Riley looked at the expressionless Anos An and swallowed hard. "He and his family left Planet S942 this morning and returned to Planet S476."
"Did the whole family move back to Claire's home planet?" Anos An raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Claire Riley nodded. "He applied for a transfer, and his files have been withdrawn to the main planet."
"No one is taking over his position?"
"No, there are no arrangements on the main planet." Claire Riley nodded. "He submitted his transfer application on the same day the appointment notice from the master husband came."
"Later, the Master-husband never came to the Military and Political Center to handle the succession ceremony, so his transfer application was approved by the main planet."
"I don't dare to decide on the new candidate on my own, so..."
"Yeah." Anos An nodded, but didn't respond. "Master Husband's appointment notice? What position is it for?"
"S942 Star Archon."
"Your position?" Anos An chuckled. "If he takes over the position of Archon, what will you do then?"
"We will follow the arrangements of Lord Star Lord." Claire Riley smiled faintly, looking very respectful.
"Planet S942 will now belong to the Anos family. Did you know that?"
"Yes, the main star has already notified us." Claire Riley nodded. "S942 started separating from the main star a long time ago and has been operating independently for nearly half a month."
"Have you ever thought about going back to 'Claire's' house?"
Arnos An asked calmly, making it hard to tell whether she was just curious or trying to find out something.
"To be honest, according to the rules of the Claire family, I'll be retiring in a year. Even if I return to the main planet, there won't be any opportunities for advancement."
Claire Riley stopped smiling and even showed a hint of helplessness.
"I thought, if I change the main planet, maybe I can have a chance to go further."
"Especially when I knew that our Star Lord was you, I was sure that I made the right choice."
"Aren't you afraid that I won't need you at all?" Anos An curled his lips, "Then you won't have any future at all!"
"That's okay, it's just retirement a year early." Claire Riley smiled calmly and replied slowly, "It's my own decision to gamble. If I win, I'll move forward. If I lose, it's just retirement a year early. I can afford it."
"Very courageous! Very smart! Not bad." Anos An's smile deepened and he nodded.
"Thank you, Star Lord, for your praise!" Claire Riley breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
"What about you?" Anos An looked at the other two sentinels.
"I don't want to leave." Claire Chi Enli's face was serious, and he spoke sparingly. "My army is here."
Anos An could understand his thoughts.
A sentry with a long military career has deep feelings for his troops and comrades. There are even sentries who would rather give up a better future and stay in the army as an ordinary soldier.
As the marshal of planet S942, he has put a lot of thought into the garrison on the entire planet, so it is normal that he is unwilling to give up.
What's more, as a powerful military marshal, it is difficult for ordinary star lords to touch him. If they are not careful, they will cause a collective riot among the garrison, which will not be worth the loss.
After getting Claire Chi Enli's answer, Anos An just nodded without saying anything more, and looked at Claire Xunsheng.
"The three of us have served for about the same amount of time, and it's time for me to retire." Claire Xunsheng promptly caught up with Anos An's gaze, "So, I'm also ready to take a gamble like the Archon."
"Well, that's good." Anos An nodded without commenting.
"Regarding the vacant parliamentary position, does Governor Riley have any recommendations?" Anos An looked at Claire Riley beside him.
"There are currently three finance ministers, all of whom have been in office for more than five years. They are quite familiar with the entire process and system, and have not made any major mistakes in the past. Perhaps we could consider promoting one of them to become a new MP."
