This move made everyone truly realize that the upper echelons of civilization are also starting to act for the Star Sea!
And the wave brought by this great change continues to grow larger!
Countless media outlets, and even individuals, have flocked here, gathering on Star Sea Island, broadcasting and reporting to the world 24/7.
"The Western Alliance’s delegation has already boarded Star Sea Island."
A reporter, under the supervision of some armed guards, is broadcasting from the scene on the beach:
"The development and construction of Star Sea Island seem to have just begun. With no docks, everyone visiting can only step onto the island on the rough, wet sand of the beach. On this day, they might only be able to stay in simple tin shelters or even just in their own tents, receiving no hospitality. But, we can see that everyone’s face is filled with enthusiastic and friendly smiles!
We have every reason to speculate that the mysterious figure who created the Star Sea has already established some sort of contact with various countries without us knowing!
Otherwise, it might not be a delegation coming here, but an army!
We will continue to bring you frontline reports!
In the area next to this reporter, there’s a dense crowd, all reporters from various places. Under countless cameras, an endless array of languages is noisily resounding, as if they will never stop. Some self-media or streamers are also squeezing in here, vying not to miss a single detail.
And as the camera zooms out, the entire Star Sea Island is surrounded by numerous cruise ships, yachts, and boats.
Even more people are unable to land on the island.
But even as the scorching heat of early summer rolls in, even with people beginning to faint from heatstroke, it cannot dampen their enthusiasm.
Not only because of the explosive attention of this event but also because this scene is bound to be recorded in human history!
And they are all witnesses to history!
Even just looking from afar at the space elevator soaring into the sky is enough to excite some people to no end!
On the other side, at the center of the event, Wen Hezhi and others are completely busy.
Given the current global attention and the countless people and representatives speeding here, relying solely on their limited manpower is already inadequate.
Shen Shi seems to have no intention of intervening either.
In the end, it was Tao De who added more personnel, and even those visiting delegations sent people to join in, maintaining order.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to handle just the visitors rushing here frantically, trying to get a glimpse.
After arranging the next batch of representatives, Wen Hezhi finally got a moment of rest.
In a simple meeting room, he served cold tea to Tao De and the first-arriving Villard.
"Thank you so much." He wasn’t too restrained, just letting out a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, we really wouldn’t be able to handle it with our current manpower."
"It’s what we should do." Villard said with a friendly and charming smile, "Wen, we’ve met before, do you remember? At Duke Cyril’s banquet, we had a brief but very pleasant conversation."
Wen Hezhi was taken aback for a moment, then remembered.
"If Mr. Villard is referring to the banquet three years ago, I remember we only exchanged one sentence, and Mr. Villard didn’t even know my name at that time." Wen Hezhi said with a wry smile, "No need for that, building a personal friendship with me won’t benefit you at all."
"I thought people from the Eastern Country were very tactful in conversation, especially when facing a smiling face." Villard took a sip of cold tea, seemed to savor the taste, and then continued, "Moreover, you’re underestimating your current status. I can assure you that even the world’s wealthiest man would look forward to your friendship. In fact, before I came here, quite a few people have asked me to send their regards to you; you must have heard of their names or surnames."
"But right now, I have neither the mood nor the time for such socializing because this job is more important than anything." Wen Hezhi shook his head, speaking directly as always.
He naturally understood Villard’s meaning, but he also knew very well that what was most important to him was this job, not the status and identity that come with it.
After all, he still doesn’t even have a specific position. The boss is unlike any other boss, and he cannot afford even a hint of carelessness before gaining sufficient trust.
Because he is not irreplaceable.
"Alright, Villard." Tao De saw that Villard wanted to say more and couldn’t help but interject, "Put away that thick-skinned spirit of yours, or you might incur Mr. Shen’s displeasure, which would do you no good."
"Who do you think is to blame for this?" Villard feigned a look of gritting his teeth when he saw Tao De speak, "Wasn’t it agreed that information would be shared? Dear Tao, can you tell me why you all started arranging resistance and manpower for the Star Sea Company, while we didn’t even know about Mr. Shen’s press conference?"
"Haven’t you already found out now?" Tao De nonchalantly took a sip of cold tea, "Besides, Wen Hezhi is just our recommended elite, not appointed. You can also recommend someone, as long as Mr. Shen agrees."
