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

Chapter 621 Further Arrangements (26)

Xu Zilong's train of thought was soon interrupted when the evaluation from the Ox and Horse Star Lord appeared above their heads, letting them know their scores:

The Peach Blossom Fan: 33%.

Flying sword: 33%.

Dading: 33%.

Men in black: 1%.

The glaring one percent was like a resounding slap in the face to "Xu Zilong," making even his old face, which resembled a mille-feuille, feel a little uncomfortable.

Just as he was trying to find an explanation, he heard Peach Blossom Fan say, "This evaluation is problematic. The man in black made a significant contribution."

(When did you see me make any contributions?)
"That's right. If it weren't for his constant guidance and encouragement, how could we have found our direction?"

(I'm mocking and putting you down!)

"We'll talk to General Manager Chen later and make sure he recognizes your contribution."

(Please don't embarrass me any further!)

Seeing that the three of them really had this tendency, "Xu Zilong" waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and then waved his hand again to indicate that he was tired and was going back to rest.

Back in his office, Xu Zilong silently stared at the documents on his desk, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table and muttered, "Damn it!"

The black cat, woken up, meowed in annoyance, which made Xu Zilong, who was already resentful, even more annoyed.

Reaching out to stroke the black cat's fur, "Xu Zilong" felt that his luck would turn bad whenever he saw a cat, wondering if he was just incompatible with cats by nature.

Although he could comfort himself by telling himself that contribution is not the same as ability, even a tiny fraction, like one percent, is still lovely.

But this could not dispel his frustration, nor the fact that his contribution was even less than that of the three former employees who were laid off.

"Heh, I've really been looked down upon."

After laughing, "Xu Zilong" called his assistant and assigned him the tasks to follow.

"Please help me gather information about the current employees within the group, including their benefits and the daily schedules of middle and lower-level leaders."

"Okay, Mr. Xu. But may I ask what you wish to do?"

"Dreaming."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go take care of it right away."

Half an hour later, Xu Zilong was reviewing the information compiled by Lei Ying and discovered that the situation within the group was somewhat astonishing.

In recent years, the number of employees who have been promoted to full-time positions has been decreasing every year, while the number of interns has been increasing. Many interns work from the age of twenty-two to sixty, almost always remaining in the internship position.

Employees who have already been promoted to full-time positions enjoy company benefits, and they instinctively refuse to allow interns to become full-time employees, blocking their path to entry. As a result, the entire Xu Group is filled with incompetent old men holding positions without performing their duties.

After organizing the contents here, "Xu Zilong" frowned as he looked at them, discovering quite a bit from the information.

The originally excellent promotion system is being hijacked by a group of people. Middle and lower-level employees are starting to form their own factions, and then each successor is attacking the others, resulting in huge internal friction.

“The number of people could be even smaller,” Xu Zilong suddenly remarked.

A simple remark sent a chill down Lei Ying's spine.

Through the appearance of "Xu Zilong", Lei Ying could see an old monster huddled in his lair, manipulating everyone in the Xu Group like a model.

There are too many models; it's not enough to play with them all.

So, next, there should be massive layoffs, right? Raikage thought he had guessed what the patriarch was thinking, but to his surprise, the other party laughed happily, revealing an excited smile like a child.

"Let's just get rid of a batch, like Chen Yu did, and use the garbage to grow some good seeds. Let's have a death race, just like before."

Raikage swallowed, but his throat still felt dry and painful.

The “race to the death” sounds simple, but behind it lies countless bloodshed, massive atrocities, a sea of ​​money flowing through the market, and a major reshuffle of the Xu Group.

Just uttering those four words made Lei Ying feel uncomfortable, but he still bowed his head and respectfully said, "Yes."

"Alright, you can leave now. I need to continue dreaming."

"understood."

As Lei Ying retreated to the doorway, he heard "Xu Zilong" say happily, "This time, my contribution points should be able to increase, right? Chen Yu, it's time to show you what I'm capable of."

After a brief pause, the Raikage continued forward, forgetting everything he had heard.

It doesn't matter what the ancestor wants to do; what matters is that I must do it well for the ancestor.

Before we knew it, another seven days had passed.

The fifty groups are gradually getting into the swing of things, with each group now producing an average of 2.3 results per day, and gradually moving towards higher quality.

The series of short dramas has become a tool for stable production, and many scenes are characterized by coherent plots, bizarre content, and dramatic storylines.

Currently, the most popular series are the "Eighteen Levels of Hell" produced by the Animal Group and the "I'm a Talent in the Company" series produced by the Magic Tool Group.

The former was definitely a great shock to the Buddhist Star Lord. The entire series turned the Buddhist Star Lord into a girl and added a lot of unserious scenes, giving the series an inescapable sense of absurdity from the very beginning.

But it's great.

It's both idiotic and enjoyable.

The protagonist needs to use various methods to find clues, open the hearts of the Buddhist-like star deities, understand their inner secrets, and then add them to his harem.

Even Zhuge Xingjun, who doesn't particularly like the Buddhist-like star lords, will wait for the animal group's updates every day to see which star lord he has successfully won over that day.

However, for Chen Yu, the "I'm a Talent in the Company" series is more interesting.

It's full of the blood and tears of the working class; after watching it, you'll feel that the behavior is bizarre yet somehow reasonable.

Although the ritual implements group was earnestly sharing their experiences, these experiences seemed somewhat laughable to those who hadn't gone through them, while those who had were somewhat terrified.

But this kind of serious humor is quite interesting, and it's even more interesting when you think that these people didn't actually mean to be funny.

At the same time, they also tried to incorporate their own fantasies of being cattle and horses into their work, thus giving it a more absurd quality.

Seven days is enough time for Chen Yu to accumulate a batch of usable results before moving on to the next stage.

After observing for several days, he has figured out which groups are better at coming up with ideas and which groups are better at executing them.

After gathering the selected teams in a newly allocated office, Chen Yu told them, "From today onwards, you will be involved in actual production. Don't worry, you're not being fired; you're just starting work that's more suitable for you."

Chen Yu's promise reassured everyone somewhat, but some still asked with unease, "Mr. Chen, what are we supposed to do?"

"Execution is about turning the planning team's content into a dream."

"The workload might be a bit heavy. Could we use artificial intelligence?"

Looking at the other person, Chen Yu smiled and said, "It's not that you can, it's that you must."
