Ma Dafu and his daughter can probably be counted as the disgrace of the Ma Family.
Once they got familiar with each other, before Ren Zhong could speak, Ma Shengfu raised his voice and said, "General Ren, I've heard about Manager Ju's situation. I've specifically gone to investigate. Her parents have already surpassed the statutory retirement age yet have been summoned back. There are indeed some shady dealings over at Chongyi Military Weapon Store."
Li Ruoling, quietly following from behind and trying to find a chance to get closer to Ren Zhong and Ma Shengfu, perked up her ears.
Ren Zhong, on his side, asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"In your recent battle at Starfire Town, Manager Ju also made significant contributions. Under normal circumstances, Source Star Military Industry should have awarded her a large amount of credit point scores. However, as far as I know, Manager Ju, you only received a score at your household registration location in Chongyi County?"
Ju Qingmeng nodded, "Yes, only five million points."
Ma Shengfu snorted through his nose, "It's the heir of Tianyuan Military Industry, Wang Jinsou, who messed up the rules. How many points are you short of advancing to Third Level Citizen?"
Ju Qingmeng: "From Second Level to Third Level requires a total of forty million; I'm short by seventeen million."
Ma Shengfu nodded, "I'll personally inquire into this matter and give you an explanation in half an hour."
Ren Zhong, on his side, however, said, "Governor Ma, I think points are a trivial matter—I can solve this. The important thing is what will happen to Qingmeng's parents once she becomes a Third Level Citizen."
As he was speaking, Ju Qingmeng suddenly gasped, "Ren Zhong, you..."
Ren Zhong waved his hand, "Don't make a fuss."
Ma Shengfu looked at Ju Qingmeng with confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ju Qingmeng clung firmly to Ren Zhong's arm and looked at him questioningly.
"It's nothing, go ahead and say it."
"Governor Ma, General Ren just transferred me seventeen million, setting it so I'm the tax-paying recipient. So... I have enough points now."
There was a slight silence in the banquet hall.
In today's venue, there wasn't just one person with assets worth billions, but 1.7 million is by no means a small amount.
Ren Zhong, without a blink, brought it out and even had people announce it publicly.
Everyone knew he was declaring his authority to Wang Jinsou over the air.
Li Ruoling first looked at Ren Zhong's back, then at Ju Qingmeng. She suddenly realized that Ren Zhong's relationship with the woman next to him wasn't just a casual one. This was love!
Meanwhile, Ma Shengfu understood Ren Zhong's intentions and only laughed heartily, "Alright then, I'll give you a reply in five minutes."
Having said that, Ma Shengfu walked to one side, found a couch to sit on, and closed his eyes.
Ju Qingmeng, trembling slightly with excitement, clung tightly to Ren Zhong just to stand steadily.
It wasn't the money she cared about; it was that Ren Zhong had finally fulfilled his promise.
She barely managed to look up at Ren Zhong, her eyes gradually reddening.
In the vague vision, it seemed like she was back at the Talent Test Room in Starfire Town Mall.
She recalled that slightly presumptuous, seemingly genuine yet almost like a calculated closeness, statement from Ren Zhong when they first met.
"Of course! Because we are friends, so you helped me without expecting anything in return. Now, as your friend, I should naturally help you."
Back then, she thought it was just a jest or perhaps a lie concocted by someone of lower status to get closer to someone higher.
Never in her dreams did she expect, 125 days later, this statement would be fulfilled.
"Thank you, Ren Zhong."
Ren Zhong: "Between friends, there's no need to say thank you. I said I'd fulfill all my promises."
"Mm... okay!"
