579: Chapter 578 A Frustrated Man Marches Towards the Light!

"Our first phase of the project will involve the construction of three Jinwu Fusion Power Stations across the eastern, central, and western regions of North America!"

"It will provide a continuous, clean, efficient, and safe supply of energy to North America!"

"It will completely resolve the energy crisis plaguing North America and provide the most solid foundation for social reconstruction and economic recovery!"

"This is also a key decision by Huaxia in building a community with a shared future for mankind, benefiting the well-being of people all over the world..."

Xiang Guangming's words were filled with powerful charisma.

They triggered wave after wave of enthusiastic applause from the audience.

When the press conference concluded.

The atmosphere at the venue reached its peak.

Representatives from at least thirty states went wild, swarming forward to surround Xiang Guangming, scrambling to express their intentions for cooperation and offering increasingly generous terms.

It was only with great difficulty and the escort of security personnel that he managed to escape the crowded throng.

...

That evening.

The Black Palace was brightly lit once again.

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan organized another high-level banquet under the banner of "Celebrating the Official Launch of the Jinwu Overseas Project."

Unlike the grand event from the previous night, which was attended by hundreds of people.

Tonight's scale was much smaller and far more intimate.

Only about 60 people were invited, but every single one of them was a high-level figure from various sectors in North America, and they were all "loyal supporters" who had consistently expressed goodwill toward Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan since he took office as Special Commissioner.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.

Huaxia had truly spared no expense this time; the "Jinwu Overseas Project" was nothing short of a timely gift for a North America that was currently in ruins and facing severe energy shortages.

Therefore, everyone present, regardless of what they truly thought, outwardly showed great enthusiasm and respect toward Xiang Guangming, the God of Wealth from Huaxia.

After a few rounds of drinks.

Xiang Guangming held his wine glass, his cheeks already slightly flushed, and his eyes carried a hint of intoxication.

He stood up unsteadily, raised his glass, and said to Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan, who was at the head table, "Wenxuan, come, let your mentor toast you once more!"

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan stood up quickly and lifted his glass, "Mentor, you've had too much to drink, please slow down."

"I haven't had too much!" Xiang Guangming waved his hand, his speech slightly slurred, "I... I'm happy in my heart! Seeing you stand out and become the Special Commissioner of North America, I'm happier than anyone!"

"But I also... I also feel it's not worth it for myself!"

At this point, Xiang Guangming suddenly let out a long sigh, his voice filled with deep grievance and resentment.

"Back in the day, for the sake of Huaxia's Science, I pitted my wits against The Hawks. We were poor back then, lacking everything! To secure projects, I had to beg and plead, enduring countless cold shoulders and being turned away time and time again!"

"And what was the result? Now that life is better, what about me?"

Xiang Guangming pointed at his own nose, his voice rising by an octave.

"During the Ai-Xiang dispute, just because I was a bit too close to the academic circles of the Americans, they slapped the label of 'leader of The Doves' on me!"

"Do you know how much exclusion I've faced domestically recently? So many important projects, and I'm left out of all of them! A dignified academician like me, I've almost become a marginalized figure!"

"This Jinwu Overseas Project, such a huge project, do you think they suddenly grew a conscience? Bullshit!"

Xiang Guangming slammed his glass onto the table, spilling quite a bit of wine.

"I fought for this myself, working hard, running around, begging who knows how many people to get it!"

"And the result?"

"I, Xiang Guangming, a dignified head of core energy for the Nantianmen Project, am actually being sent overseas to preside over an overseas project!"

"And they said some bullshit about how, since I initiated the project, it's most appropriate for me to be in charge!"

"Bah!"

The more Xiang Guangming spoke, the more agitated he became, his eyes turning slightly red.
