"In the next month, please do your best to assist Miss Hexia, and contact key figures within the Star Domain. That's all the help I can offer." Having said that, he stood up and then left the room.
As a high official with real power within the Federation, he would not take risks lightly, and he certainly wouldn't stake his future on a young girl; but he was aware of the girl's potential and hadn't completely rejected her.
If Hexia could continue to persuade most people and gradually spread her ideas and philosophy until they were accepted by all parties, he could join in, adding glory to success. However, if Hexia failed, he would act as if nothing had happened today.
He had seen too many impulsive ideas from the youth and would not mock them deliberately; he just felt that there were too many precedents for failure.
"Thank you, Governor." As Temachi was about to exit the room, he heard the voice of the young girl echoing in his mind, his expression changed slightly, then a smile appeared on his lips as he continued to leave.
This might be a rare occasion where he was actually wrong.
Over the following month, just as Temachi had predicted, Hexia t one after another with influential figures within the Star Domain: the highest officials of certain powerful departnts, leaders of comrcial alliances, individuals with significant influence within their sectors, and renowned professors in the field of environntal science, among others.
Initially, when she visited these people, Hexia felt a bit uneasy, worrying that they might not want to see her, that her intentions were too outright and could cause displeasure, or that she might interrupt their work, and so on.
However, the anticipated problems, when they manifested in reality, were not as frightening as she had feared.
Yes, a small portion of people still refused to see this new generation Songstress, but most welcod her with enthusiasm and were willing to listen to her ideas and thoughts.
Because of this, she gradually beca proficient and familiar, eventually operating with composure.
The Songstress' Talent allowed Hexia to effectively communicate her ideas and emotions to others and quickly perceive the points of interest, concerns, and various emotions of the opposite party. This advantage made it easy for her to find a breakthrough and use the increasing amount of information she was gathering to solve problems.
The ideas proposed by Hexia in themselves had no flaws or drawbacks; the reason nobody had acted on them was that they involved too many factors and a vast scope of interests, causing interference. Although everyone knew that these ideas were beneficial, few took action since any effort could quickly beco soone else's asset if others sabotaged it.
This ti, however, as the Governor facilitated connections, people from all walks of life slowly realized sothing incredible: that this seemingly improbable task might actually be possible.
As Hexia made contact with more and more people, she slowly ca to genuinely sense and understand what the upper structure of the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain looked like. The more she understood, the more familiar she beca, and the less uncertainty she felt as the situation cleared up like fog dispersing.
She gradually learned which were the key nodes, where obstacles needed to be overco, how to ensure the benefits of the plan's full implentation were delivered to all parties, and how to prevent other powers from picking the fruits of their labor and interfering, among other things.
Of course, she received indispensable suggestions and analysis from the student council mbers, and from Deloris and Efnie in particular. One a daughter of a comrcial tycoon and the other the child of a high-ranking official, they were already familiar with such environnts and quickly helped Hexia to navigate the complex web.
"So, the situation is gradually becoming clearer," Hexia said.
Another day, Hexia sat in the student council office at Edith Academy, wearing a black satin ribbon dress today, with purple accents on her headband and ribbon for a slightly different look.
The spacious office was filled with familiar faces from the Academy, including Deloris, Ruby, Efnie, Kinsenke, Yalian, and others from her original association, as well as representatives from other associations of Edith like Geyin, Tringle, and also representatives from the northern Academy such as Wei Ke, Alice, Elinda, Xian Ta, and Ying Feng.
"Many are now wavering and leaning towards us, but there are still two issues that we need to resolve to break down everyone's last reservations," Yalian was standing in front of the screen, giving the presentation.
"The first is, how to perfectly solve the environntal issues."
"There are so plans in progress, but their effectiveness and efficiency are far from ideal. If a project takes too long, its costs and chances of success beco extrely uncontrollable," he said.
"To that end, we have contacted several top enterprises in the related fields within the Federation, such as the gigantic corporations 'Sanctuary Paradise,' 'Sky Babel,' 'Perfect Garden,' and others. The solutions they provide will require trendous resources and at least 50 years of continuous renovation," he continued.
"This is the biggest obstacle to the plan: its results are too distant and unpredictable. So enterprises even fear that they will go bankrupt before seeing any return on their investnt," he added.
"The second is, if the environnt is truly improved and the Four-leaf Crystal economy recovers, how will the benefits be distributed? Will their contributions really be rewarded accordingly?"
