Wang Baole didn't have to wait too long for the guidance this time. After hanging up on Lin Tianhao's transmission, Lin You made himself a cup of hot tea. After taking a sip, he waited for a while. Only after five minutes had passed did he take out his transmission ring and send a transmission to Wang Baole.
This time wasn't too long, but it wasn't too short either. He could let the other see his sincerity through this time, and it could also make him feel more at ease. This was a principle of life that Lin You had learned in his life of hardships. If an outsider hadn't experienced it, it would be very difficult for them to understand.
As the transmission ring vibrated, Wang Baole, who had been thinking that Lin You would definitely thank him, looked at the notification of Lin You's name on the transmission ring. He was about to pick it up, but after some thought, he put it aside and waited for a few breaths of time before finally connecting.
In reality, Wang Baole didn't communicate much with Lin You. Most of the time, it was through Lin Tianhao. The last time they communicated was because of Lin Tianhao's disappearance, which was why he contacted Lin You with a heavy sense of guilt.
At this moment, even though they didn't communicate much, they were chatting happily. It had to be said that Lin You was an extremely charming person. This charm wasn't reflected in his appearance, but in the way he conducted himself. As he treated people, he also expressed his congratulations to Wang Baole for taking office, as well as his gratitude for Lin Tianhao's high regard.
In the end, Lin You paused for a moment, as if he was drinking tea, and spoke softly.
"Baole, you and Tianhao are of the same generation, so I treat you as a nephew. Have you considered your future path in the Federation?
"Of course, I've heard of your dream of becoming the President of the Federation. This is very good, very good. I even envy your father. If Tianhao had the same dream, I would be relieved." Lin You sighed. These words came from the bottom of his heart. In this life, he no longer lacked anything. Even his aptitude was not bad. He was even more confident. Even if it took a long time, with his aptitude and resources, Yuanying was not impossible!
However, the one he regretted the most was Lin Tianhao …. Therefore, he was very grateful to Wang Baole.
Hearing Lin You's words, Wang Baole coughed dryly.
"Uncle Lin, you're right. Actually, I've had this feeling since I was young. I envy my father for having such an extraordinarily handsome and ambitious son like me."
Lin You was silent for a moment, as if Wang Baole's words had roused him from his sighing. A strange expression could be seen on his face as he quickly changed the subject.
"Baole, you have now reached the most important step in your path to becoming an official. The times are different now. It's not like when I was young. As long as your cultivation was sufficient, as long as you had a certain level of intelligence, as long as you dared to stand out, you would either fall or rise above others!
"But now, the overall situation is much more stable. The various factions instinctively want peace and stability for a period of time. Even though Duan Muque is ambitious and has great hopes, every step forward is very difficult."
"So … what I mean to say is that in this era, the Primary Fourth Noble is already the limit for those without power and influence. As for you … unless something unexpected happens, you've already reached the peak of your life. Unless you reach the great circle of Core Formation one day, then you'll be able to break through the barrier like Fellow Daoist Osmanthus."
"However, you have to pray that by then, the President of the Federation and the rest of us old fellows have not broken through to Yuanying …
"Baole, do you understand what I mean? If you want to advance further, even if your cultivation is at the Core Formation realm, it will be difficult to push you forward. After all, the four major Dao Colleges are not led by the Ethereal Dao College …"
Lin You's words were very straightforward. They were based on his experience and analysis for Wang Baole. Therefore, when Wang Baole heard this, his expression turned serious. After thinking about it carefully, Wang Baole had to admit that what Lin You said was most likely true.
This made him feel a little depressed. At the same time, he was thinking that perhaps with greater contributions, he might be able to surpass the Primary Rank Four Noble and become a Secondary Rank Three Noble or even higher.
"However, you have made the right move by becoming the mayor of the New Mars Region! You can even say that this is your opportunity …
"You have to know that you have created something out of nothing. You have opened up a path from a situation that did not exist and you have become a Primary Rank Four Noble. After all, before this, there was no New Mars Region …
"Building a new district may not be considered as truly opening up a new territory, but it is still a great achievement. That is why the various factions are frantically fighting for it. On one hand, it is for the Divine Armament layout. On the other hand, it is also for their own juniors to obtain this political achievement!
"After all, such a great achievement has not appeared in the past few years of stability. Something like this only happened during the Direbeast War and the establishment of the seventeen cities.
"This is a great opportunity, so you must remember to hold it firmly in your hands. Be careful not to let others take advantage of you after the new district is built and let others take advantage of you!"
She was already confiding in him. After Wang Baole heard this, he was immediately moved. His breathing quickened. In fact, he had read about such things in the high officials' autobiographies. He was also very clear that once someone took advantage of him, all his efforts would be for naught.
"At the same time, you have to be clear about your friends and enemies. You have to differentiate them. For example, Li Yi. I believe that the four major Dao Colleges will not give up on her. Because fellow Daoist Osmanthus supports her, she is your greatest enemy!
"That is because … both of you are marked by the four major Dao Colleges. Especially since she is a legitimate member, while you suddenly appeared on your own. Most importantly, she is from the White Deer Academy, while you are from the Ethereal Dao College.
"Therefore, this is no longer a matter between you and Li Yi. This has escalated to a matter of leadership between the White Deer Academy and the Ethereal Dao College. The White Deer Academy will definitely not allow you to suppress Li Yi! Even if the Ethereal Dao College wants to help you, they will not be too obvious in consideration of the interests and traditions of the four major Dao Colleges.
"After all, to them, the stability of the four major Dao Colleges is more important than anything else. Furthermore, the current Sect Leader of the Ethereal Dao College has a rather soft personality. These are all factors that are disadvantageous to you."
Wang Baole listened silently and did not say a word. He heard every word Lin You said in his heart. After pondering over it repeatedly, he felt that he had seen too much of the future.
"Since the four major Dao Colleges are supporting Li Yi, then your first priority is to seize on the areas where Li Yi has made a mistake. Think of a way to openly squeeze her out!
"In this way, you will be the only choice of the four major Dao Colleges in the New Mars Region. When that time comes, they will have to be willing, even if they are unwilling. They will have to support you. Even if they are unwilling, they will have to pinch their noses and give you their full support!
"When that time comes, I believe that even if the Sect Leader of the Ethereal Dao College has a soft personality, he is also a smart person. He will definitely seize the opportunity to seize the initiative among the four major Dao Colleges in the New Mars Region!
"And your spring will come at that time." After he finished speaking, Lin You took a sip of tea. He heard Wang Baole's slightly hurried breathing coming from the voice transmission ring. He smiled faintly.
Wang Baole's breathing was indeed hurried. Lin You's analysis and judgment, as well as the solution he had given in the end, had enlightened him. He could not help but feel that this Lin You … was very meticulous. His ability to weigh the pros and cons was very good!
"Now that we're done talking about enemies, let's talk about friends. Baole, it's difficult for a person who has enemies everywhere to achieve great things. That's why you have to learn how to differentiate between enemies that you can become friends with and those that you can't resolve. You have to use the fastest time to defeat them."
"For example, Kongdao. This person is the adopted son of the Federation's President and is also a member of the Martian military. Therefore, you cannot push him away. This is because before you are the only choice of the four major Dao Colleges, what you need is the support of the Martian military! This is especially so because of your relationship with the military. This will make this support very logical!
"With Kongdao around, your new district will have the backing and support. You also have to analyze whether the other factions in the Federation will be willing to join forces with the Federation to control the new district. Therefore, this Kongdao is destined to be a deputy mayor. Believe it or not, if Kongdao gets first place in the final assessment, the number of deputy mayors will definitely not be four, but double. Moreover, this Kongdao will not be living in the new district!
"Therefore, what you need to do is to make him obedient on the surface. That will be enough. Don't worry, he will not try to seize power!"
