Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 344 Zhao Fangxu's Talent (Fourth update, please vote!)
On the way back to Na Du Tong, Sun Heqian silently followed behind Zhao Zhen, the scenes in the courtyard just now lingering in his mind.

Wang Ai's insidious resentment, Lü Ci's kneeling in loyalty, the Wang family's bloody infighting... all of these made this young Taoist priest, who was used to the tranquility of the mountains, feel a sense of heaviness and complexity.

He subconsciously took a step closer to Zhao Fangxu, as if trying to find some comfort from this only "peer".

Beside him, Zhao Fangxu, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, only showing a look of relief at surviving a close call, patting his chest and muttering to himself:
"I was so scared! Master Sun, your golden light was amazing! And your thunder magic was awesome!"
But Master, could you please not involve your disciple in these kinds of fighting incidents next time? You know perfectly well that I'm really not good at fighting..."

Zhao Zhen ignored his apprentice's rambling. His gaze casually swept over Duanmu Ying, who looked pale and had a somewhat dazed look in her eyes.

Duanmu Ying felt his gaze, looked up, and their eyes met briefly.

Her lips moved almost imperceptibly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she pursed her lips tightly, a complex and inscrutable emotion flashing in her eyes, before she quickly lowered her head.

Upon seeing this scene, a knowing and thoughtful glint flashed deep in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

A very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but it quickly returned to its calm state.

Although Duanmu Ying didn't say anything, and Wang Ai still had that bitter and resentful attitude towards him, Zhao Zhen knew that Duanmu Ying had already controlled Wang Ai with her double-handed techniques!

As for the Lü family, Zhao Zhen can use a carrot and stick approach, giving them a slap followed by a sweet treat, to completely subdue them.

However, this method is not applicable to the Wang family, because Wang Ai and Zhao Zhen have an irreconcilable feud of killing their fathers!
This is a fundamentally irreconcilable conflict; no matter how much you try to appease them, you will never be able to resolve it.

Even if they temporarily use their power to intimidate others and force the Wang family to submit, it is only temporary.

As long as this hatred remains, the Wang family will be like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, ready to strike you when you are weak!
Therefore, when dealing with the Wang family, one must either find an opportunity to completely eradicate them, or one must use some special methods.

Duanmu Ying's dual-wielding technique was a "special method" that Zhao Zhen had prepared for Wang Ai long ago!
"Fang Xu, what are your thoughts on what happened today?"

"What do you think?"

Zhao Fangxu blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"What do you say?"

Zhao Zhen rolled her eyes, somewhat annoyed.

"Master, are you referring to the internal strife within the Wang family?"

"Ah."

After mentioning this matter, a subtle shrewdness flashed in Zhao Fangxu's eyes.

"I think this is normal."

"normal?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Heqian immediately raised an eyebrow.

Internal strife, can this be called normal?

"Power has always been something that can turn brothers against each other and fathers and sons into enemies."

Such things have happened countless times throughout history.

"In your opinion, if you were Wang Ai, how would you handle this matter?"

"Should we handle it?"

Zhao Fangxu rested his chin on his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"More than dealing with it, what I really want to say is that if I were the head of the Wang family, I would absolutely not allow this to happen." "Oh? That's interesting. Continue?"

"First of all, whether it is a family or a power, the most important thing is definitely stability."

In my view, power should never be concentrated in the hands of just one person; the feudal system is outdated.

If power is highly centralized, then situations like the Wang family's will occur.

Therefore, in order to avoid the situation where an accident involving one person leads to the complete paralysis of the entire power, the top leader must support some factions on a regular basis and maintain a good balance among the factions below.

This is just like my dad's business; only through competition can a better market environment be created.

After hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, everyone except Zhao Zhen looked at him in a completely different way.

Especially Lü Ci, who originally looked at Zhao Fangxu with disdain and had already categorized him as a "useless person".

But after hearing these words, Lü Ci's gaze towards Zhao Fangxu immediately changed.

To have such insight at such a young age, perhaps he is not good at fighting, but without a doubt, this chubby boy's future is extraordinary!
"Haha, you certainly have your own set of twisted logic and heresies~"

Zhao Zhen laughed and casually patted Zhao Fangxu on the head.

"It's just a matter of talking, a matter of using your lips, of course it's very simple."

But when you actually encounter a problem, I wonder if you'll still be able to put these theories into action?
After we get back, you'll be working with Secretary Yu for now.

"Master, are we going out on missions while accompanying Secretary Yu?"

Zhao Fangxu asked hesitantly.

"Highly unlikely to be needed."

Zhao Zhen shook his head.

"Alright, I'm fine with it! Don't worry, Master. I may not have many other strengths, but I'm very dedicated and I love whatever I do!"
I promise I'll work hard under Secretary Yu's guidance when I get back!

"Ah."
-
After returning to Nadutong, Zhao Zhen first told Sun Heqian and Zhao Fangxu to go and rest.

As for Lü Ci, he didn't waste any words. He directly asked Yu Yang to bring an employment agreement, had Lü Ci sign it, and then asked Yu Yang to take Lü Ci to familiarize himself with the company environment.

From now on, there will be no more "Little Mad Dog" Lü Ci from the Lü family in the industry. There will only be an "ordinary" junior employee from All-Knowing Network!
As for Lü Ci's loyalty, Zhao Zhen was not too worried.

People like Lü Ci are a bit "crazy" and absolutely ruthless, but they also never keep their promises.

Since he said he would work hard for me, he definitely wouldn't try to be sloppy.

After everyone had left, Zhao Zhen turned his gaze to Duanmu Ying, who was still standing in his office and refused to leave.

He didn't rush to speak, but first closed the office door, making sure no one could hear what was going on inside, before turning his gaze back to Duanmu Ying behind him.

"Okay, you can talk now."

After hesitating for a moment, Duanmu Ying finally spoke slowly:

"Before healing Wang Ai, I used the Blue Hand on him..."

To Duanmu Ying's surprise, Zhao Zhen's face did not show the slightest surprise after hearing her "confession," and was even calm in a way that was a little frightening!
"Ok, I know."
