Chapter 4079 - 4098: Special Appointment as Consultant

"Although the Huang family’s potion can only be rated as Level 1, the materials of this prescription are not too complex, which means it can be mass-produced. Just this point alone can raise the importance of the Huang family’s prescription by at least two levels.""For individuals, naturally, the higher the quality of the potion, the better. However, when assessing the value of a prescription, we must also consider its applicability, cost, and whether it is worth promoting."

Xu Qingchuan analyzed it thoroughly and finally concluded: "In terms of single value, the Huang family’s potion can indeed only be considered Level 1, but taking into account its universality and spreadability, the comprehensive evaluation can be considered at least Level 3 or even Level 4."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It depends on which aspect you look at it from. However, I’m not planning to rely on this prescription for myself. Trading with the Huang family is just for personal use."

Xu Qingchuan laughed and said, "You must keep this matter under wraps, or else there will be lots of trouble."

After a pause, Xu Qingchuan added meaningfully, "Like the Zhang family’s prescription, although it might have good effects, the official authorities actually don’t value it because its universality is too poor. However, to the official authorities, the Huang family’s prescription has immense value."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Would the officials even take action against individuals because of a prescription?"

Xu Qingchuan chuckled, "Officially, of course not, but the people in official positions are still human. They might find ways to procure your prescription for various purposes."

"Of course, if you find the right channels to submit the prescription, it certainly could earn you great merit with substantial rewards, but it seems you don’t really need it."

Lin Chen nodded, "Although the official privileges are quite appealing, I prefer freedom and dislike scheming. If not satisfied, just tackle it. If I can’t handle it, worst case, I can make a run for it."

"With our family’s strength, we could even live quite comfortably as interstellar robbers, I imagine."

Xu Qingchuan raised a thumb, "I think the same way, which is why I have no interest in joining the Tianheng Group or managing it. I happen to have a formidable old dad and a shrewd and capable big brother, so I can just be a playboy and do whatever I like."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You’ve done quite well as a middleman. You’ve built a platform, and you hold the core connection. Maybe you don’t realize it until something happens, then perhaps your connections could become very useful."

Xu Qingchuan chuckled, his expression slightly smug: "My big brother was originally somewhat critical of me being a middleman, but my dad supported me and even organized a group of elites to help me. Now I’ve opened the market and made achievements, even my big brother has changed his tune."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "How’s your relationship with your big brother?"

Xu Qingchuan replied, "Very good. My big brother always hoped I would join Tianheng so that once I could handle things on my own, he could hand many responsibilities to me. But I’m not going, hehe, so he just has to tough it out."

Without waiting for Lin Chen to speak, Xu Qingchuan said with a cheeky smile, "You’re wondering if there will be a fight for inheritance, aren’t you?"

Lin Chen nodded frankly, "Among financial conglomerates, the struggle for inheritance is quite evident - for power, for money, for shares. With such a large enterprise as Tianheng Group, I’m a bit curious."

Xu Qingchuan laughed freely, "My dad is in excellent health, and he’s a Level 8 Martial Artist. If it weren’t for meeting you so I could cultivate, with this body of mine - when I die, my old dad would still be in his prime, so what’s there to talk about inheritance rights?"

"The talk of inheritance rights is just that. Honestly, I have no grand ambitions. As long as I have money to spend, no matter how many industries or how much money stored in the Bank, it’s just numbers."

"My brother not only has a strong martial artist’s talent but is also very shrewd. Him taking over the family would be the best choice. I’ve told my brother and dad, don’t worry about my shares or inheritance rights - whether it’s my dad or my brother in charge, if I’m incapable, just take care of me."

Lin Chen laughed silently; that’s quite a simple request.

From Xu Qingchuan’s perspective, since he cannot become a martial artist, even though technology might extend his lifespan, there is ultimately a limit. Compared with his vibrant father and intelligent, promising brother, he indeed has no advantage.

Perhaps precisely because he understands this, he gave up on ideals and became a carefree salted fish?

Being a middleman might be his interest, or perhaps a way for him to prove his capabilities.

Transparent!

People always like to look up, always hoping to jump for things they can only get. If they’re lucky, they grab the item and land smoothly. If not, they jump up and can’t come down, hanging right there.

When you figure these out, letting go of things that originally might require you to fight your life for, even possibly unattainable, your life might turn out differently.

This isn’t called lying flat; this is a rational measurement, akin to "step back, broaden the sky."

"What you’re doing now as a middleman, running smoothly, even if without others, you’re living quite easily."

Xu Qingchuan pouted, "Though that’s the way it’s going, the truth is I am still relying on the Xu family’s influence. Otherwise, if I were an ordinary person, who would trust me, who would dare to believe in me?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Since you’re born into the Xu family, why not leverage your own family’s resources? Do you really have to change your name, start from scratch with nothing, eventually grow grand and recreate glory - is that what it means to have skill?"

Xu Qingchuan chuckled, "Others don’t say it like that. They all say if Xu Qingchuan didn’t rely on his family, what could he achieve? With this background, even a dog could succeed."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Haha, there’s a little truth in it, but the sourness is quite strong; could it be you care about these?"

Xu Qingchuan shook his head, "I used to care a bit, now I don’t care at all."

"Isn’t this just fine?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Walk your own path, let others talk."

Xu Qingchuan’s eyes brightened, "That statement has class."

Lin Chen responded, "That’s an old saying from my hometown, not my words."

Xu Qingchuan nodded and suddenly thought of something: "Right, Brother Chen, since you’ve decided to stay on Planet 11, I’ll get you an identity, so that it’s less trouble when you’re out and about."

Lin Chen asked, "What kind of identity?"

Xu Qingchuan laughed, "A consultant identity for the Tianheng Group. With this consultant identity, you’ll have free access to most places. This thing is much more useful on Planet 11 than a Federation ID card."

Lin Chen laughed, "Who doesn’t know Tianheng Group? This identity badge would definitely be useful, but is there anything I need to do?"

Xu Qingchuan laughed, "As a consultant, it’s a casual position. You’re guiding me in cultivation, and since you’re a Level 8 Martial Artist yourself, why not take on a martial path consultant position?"
