Gift natural power at the beginning

Stanford Star.

Orpheus Building.

Outside the huge azure floor-to-ceiling windows, the hustle and bustle of traffic and the endless stream of pedestrians merge with the sound of advertisements on the huge projection screen in the square below, creating a warm atmosphere.

But in the eyes of Annabelle who was standing at the highest point, it was like a pantomime and everything seemed extremely boring.

She flipped through the electronic tablet in her hand, checking the text messages on it.

As one of the heirs of the Orpheus family, if he wants to improve his rank and gain more authority, in addition to constantly opening gene locks and improving his own life level, he also needs to demonstrate superior management skills.

Asset management, personnel management, information analysis...

These are the elements that wealthy aristocrats like them must master.

Annabelle's performance was average. Among the twenty heirs of Orpheus, she could only be ranked in the middle, and the resources she could control were mediocre.

  When she graduates, perhaps the biggest possibility is that she will be assigned to work outside and get involved in some of the family's main businesses?

No, maybe worse.

Not long ago, Annabell managed an investment of considerable amount.

That investment accounted for her entire year's investment quota, and the track she chose was interstellar tourism.

Logically speaking, this investment should not be a loss.

After all, she had received inside information that there was a problem in the Azur Lane ahead and most of the space wormholes were suspended.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Analyze based on supply and demand.

Whether it is some people who need to study or work outside the Invitational Federation, or international students who want to go home, in this case, the air ticket prices will inevitably go up to the sky.

The stocks of some major star travel groups naturally went up as well.

In fact, this was indeed the case in the early days. In just two weeks, her income doubled.

But what was unexpected was that suddenly, the Federal Committee issued a directive to suspend all interstellar travel and strictly prohibit any person or group from using space wormholes.

When Annabell woke up, she felt like the sky had fallen.

As expected, the stocks of those large tour groups, which had been booming, plummeted instantly.

Several limit downs in a row.

It can be said that even her mother didn’t recognize her.

"Damn Imperial Patrol!" Annabelle couldn't help but curse under her breath.

Afterwards, she used her connections to find out the origin of the incident.

The answer was simple. There was a special inspection team from the empire coming over, apparently to investigate something.

Just as something happened in Azur Lane, they simply closed all routes.

It can be said that she cannot be blamed, as Annabelle was completely implicated.

It’s a pity that those old guys in the family elders’ council won’t listen to this.

Thinking of this, Annabell couldn't help but close the electronic tablet and sighed with a headache.

Today is their family's monthly meeting.

At the regular meeting, it is necessary to report on recent developments, achievements, difficulties encountered and the progress of work.

Finally, the family will score and allocate resources accordingly.

So you can imagine what she has to face.

Annabelle sighed again, moved her lips, and blew upwards, brushing the princess-cut hair across her forehead.

Shake your head and attend the regular meeting.

However, everything was completely different from what Annabelle imagined.

She thought she would be criticized from the beginning.

Then the score is low and the resources are cut.

In the end, she ended up enduring another wave of ridicule from her brothers and sisters.

But in fact, since the regular meeting, everyone has been very friendly to her. Then she unexpectedly got second place in the ratings, and the resources she had doubled.

Those brothers and sisters who were arrogant and ranked at the top of the list were rarely humble and friendly to her.

I really think of her as a good and lovely sister.

This...what is going on?

Annabell was sent back to her room in a daze by her cousin Lu Ya.

She had a fairly close relationship with this cousin; they were only one generation apart and their mothers were real sisters.

However, compared to her mediocre performance, Lu Ya is much better.

At the same age, the latter has already opened the fourth gene lock and achieved resonance with the intelligence. He was highly praised by the head of the family and was even rewarded with an advanced special starship in advance for him to use in breaking through to the "commander".

It can be said that the resources he received were far higher than hers.

As long as the other party develops normally, he will at least be able to control part of Ophis's pillar industries and become an indispensable figure in the family.

The huge gap and lack of common topics naturally lead to little contact between the two sides.

But this time...

Annabell looked at the new special armor given by Lu Ya.

This is a good thing... It can at least increase her strength by 70%! And it has amazing growth potential, which can fully meet her needs before the "Commander" sequence.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Annabelle's thoughts.

She quickly put away her plastic armor and tidied her clothes and hairstyle.

"Which one?"

"I'm Duo Huiming." A young man's voice came from outside the door.

Duo Huiming Ofussis.

He is Annabelle's cousin, but three generations apart, so he is a distant relative.

It can be said that he is famous in the whole family.

Because it ranks first in the current family inheritance sequence.

It can be said that he is the strongest contender for the next head of the family.

"Anna, I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for you now?" Duo Huiming's tone was gentle, just like Hexi's sunshine.

"Brother Duo Huiming is so convenient." Annabelle was subconsciously a little excited, but her upbringing made her recover quickly.

The door opens.

Duo Huiming was wearing a white suit with a blue crystal rose on her chest. Her hands were crossed in front of her, and on the thumb of her right hand was a golden snake tail ring with an emerald green gem in its mouth.

He nodded to Annabelle at the door and walked through it.

He actually didn't know much about his cousin.

He has average genetic talent, average family background, average abilities, and everything is average. In the end, he is at most a barely usable tool.

It's not worth his effort to cultivate feelings for her.

But unexpectedly, the other party had such luck and recruited a good seedling.

"Anna, I came to you for something. I need you to set up a plan. I want to talk to the seedling you invested in, Odino." Duo Huiming said directly, with a serious tone.

"Otino?...You...Brother, are you also optimistic about his future?" Annabelle's mind worked quickly and she reacted quickly.

  “Odino is indeed very talented. Although he is only a conscript, his talent can be said to be first-rate in the entire Stanford Silver Fox Military Academy. As long as he gets first place in this practical assessment, coupled with our investment, he will surely soar to the sky!

I am very optimistic about his future.”

"As long as he gets first place, he will have a bright future without our investment." Duo Huiming interrupted her.

"I got the news that the reward for the first place in the actual combat assessment has changed. It is said to be a cadre appointment opportunity in the inspection team."

He said slowly. (End of this chapter)
