I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 131 Xu Zilong's True Colors (16)

Xu Zilong had no experience with externalization.

However, the advantage of capital is that it does not need to have experience with the target, it only needs to hire experienced people.

The Xu Group has a large internal talent pool. Every employee who enters the Xu Group will be carefully evaluated and have their background checked.

Employees will undergo blood tests to carefully assess their spiritual root scores and analyze the genes of their physical body and primordial spirit. Only after confirming that there are no problems with the candidate will they proceed to the second round of interviews.

During the second interview, employees need to provide blood samples from their parents, while some high-end positions require tissue samples from their grandparents' generation. If the grandparents are deceased, their ashes or spirit possession can be used, but proof from the spirit master is required.

After layers of selection, only employees with impeccable credentials can be successfully hired. However, after being hired, they need to work as interns for a period of time, and are dismissed every three months. Then they are rehired and the process is repeated.

Because the Star Lord stipulates that the internship period cannot exceed three months, but the status of a formal employee is extremely valuable and cannot be obtained without outstanding contributions or a strong background.

Of course, even those who make outstanding contributions may not receive it.

Many people toil for decades without ever achieving the status of a formal employee. This difference in status gives formal employees of the Xu Group a sense of superiority and arrogance, even though they don't earn high incomes.

True success occurs after being noticed by an heir. Xu family heirs, who hold points, will constantly compete within the Xu Group. Only by joining them and choosing the right person can one obtain more benefits and become a superior person.

Browsing through the group's public talent pool, Xu Zilong casually searched and hundreds of interns' profiles popped up.

The system panel clearly displays their appearance, gender, and spiritual root rating. For specific requests, more detailed information can be viewed, such as acting skills or ability to satisfy certain quirks of superiors.

He had previously used some points to apply for a trade lock, and improper use of the trade lock would affect his future point acquisition, forcing him to use his remaining points cautiously. After calculating his current available internal points, he discovered that he only had fifteen points left to use in the near future.

One point is equivalent to one million internal group resources, and fifteen points are roughly equivalent to fifteen million, which is more than enough to create an ordinary dream.

Furthermore, the external display device, Tianyuan, has already been developed. As long as the existing content is reverse-engineered, there should be no problem.

He also had to face the questioning from the old fogies within the group, and he had to be wary of Xu Feng trying to trip him up. He couldn't handle this matter personally, so he had to entrust it to his trusted confidants.

When he thought of his trusted confidants, he remembered Liu, the schoolmaster who dared to betray him.

A mere school principal dares to leave the Xu Group; he's courting death.

If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely make them pay!
After temporarily transforming into a ghost cultivator, Xu Zilong's emotions became more peaceful, but his resentment towards Liu Xiao remained deep-seated, sometimes even more so than towards Chen Yu.

Although I know that under the influence of the Contract Star Lord, the other party cannot reveal the group's internal secrets, traitors are always despicable.

Using his inner energy cultivation technique, Xu Zilong calmed himself down and then used an internal channel to find Zhang Yun, the former principal of the Labor High School.

When the other party arrived at the ward, Xu Zilong said directly, "Zhang Yun, I have initiated an internal project within the group, which is benchmarked against 'The Record of Mountains and Seas' and the external display device. The project cost is fifteen points, which I will give to you. After that, you can find people to build this project yourself."

Zhang Yun's phone rang. Xu Zilong had initiated the relevant project and sent all the project requirements and related permissions to Zhang Yun.

As the principal of the Labor High School, Zhang Yun not only possesses excellent professional skills but also holds a Level 2 Dream Weaver qualification. Xu Zilong's project requires not only external manifestation but also the creation of related dreams, and Zhang Yun is indeed the most suitable candidate.

But after carefully calculating the costs, Zhang Yun shook his head: "It might not be enough. In my opinion, it should at least double."

Seeing that Xu Zilong did not respond, Zhang Yun carefully considered his words and then said seriously, "Although I have not yet officially come into contact with the 'Records of Mountains and Seas' and related external display devices, based on my understanding of Chen Yu, the opponent is very strong and has a great vision. His overall perspective is not like that of a high school student. For such an opponent, I suggest that the first battle be the decisive one, and all resources should be fully utilized."

Noticing that Xu Zilong remained silent, he said helplessly, "If it really doesn't work, I..."

"Don't make a fuss, I'm communicating." Xu Zilong told Zhang Yun to be quiet and continued to mobilize his resources.

Fifteen minutes and thirty-five seconds later, he finally stopped the transfer.

The semi-transparent primordial spirit raised its head and looked at Zhang Yun with bright eyes, saying, "I have reallocated some resources and exchanged some idle projects for points from other heirs. Now I have a total of forty-five. I will give all these points to you."

Zhang Yun stared at Xu Zilong in disbelief, unable to believe his ears.

Xu Zilong seemed to enjoy seeing Zhang Yun's expression, and said with a sly smile, "Surprised? Have you always thought I was a useless, hypocritical scoundrel?"

“No…” Zhang Yun subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then nodded and said, “Yes.”

"That's not wrong, because that's just my nature. But even the dumbest person can understand what kind of person their opponent is after being beaten up once. Besides, the invincible trade block didn't work, so you should know that the other party is not an ordinary person."

Zhang Yun stared blankly at Xu Zilong as if he were seeing him for the first time.

Xu Zilong floated to the window and looked out.

Outside the window is a vast city, a cluster of buildings covering 400 square kilometers that resembles a magical chip, piled with various components.

The employees inside are like signals walking within the chip, contributing their efforts to ensure the chip's normal operation.

However, this is not a city, but the headquarters of the Xu Group, Xu Central City.

Looking down at the vast city, Xu Zilong continued, "You can call me arrogant, but no one who becomes an heir, and an heir with real power at that, is stupid. Zhang Yun, I know you were forced to come to me, so I don't expect your loyalty. But I can see your ambition and ability; you are the most suitable person for this project. Now, I'm giving you funds and resources. Go and make a big splash for me, and for yourselves."

"Don't worry about funding. Forty-five points isn't a lot normally, but this is just a special time for me. Go all out, and I'll clean up any messes that arise."

Zhang Yun stared at Xu Zilong, unable to look away for a long time.

Although he knew this was a form of imperial manipulation, a way for the upper class to control the lower class, seeing it in person still stirred his emotions and left him deeply moved.

For the first time, Zhang Yun bowed his head sincerely and said respectfully, "Yes."
