Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 378 Zhang Zhiwei's Visit

These words startled everyone present.

They knew that the real highlight of this extraordinary gathering was about to begin!
Zhao Zhen's announcement of the establishment of a board of directors, with eight additional directors besides the chairman of Nadutong, was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, the ripples of which quickly spread throughout the entire venue.

After a brief silence, suppressed whispers began to ripple through the room.

"Board of Directors? Eight directors?"

"To be appointed by a highly respected and respected figure within the supernatural community? To jointly manage affairs within the supernatural world?"

"Isn't this just a disguised way of letting major forces into the core management of NaDuTong?"

"Chairman Zhao is trying to use Na Du Tong as a framework to integrate the power of the entire supernatural world!"

"What a grand gesture! In this way, Na Du Tong will no longer be just an official institution, but also the power center of the supernatural world!"

……

Wang Ai's chubby face broke into its usual smile, her small eyes narrowed into slits, and her fingers twirled gently inside her sleeve.

Although the Wang family was among the four powerful families and had a deep foundation, after the death of Wang Ai's father and the damage to the family's reputation, they urgently needed to consolidate their position in the new power structure.

The Wang family is determined to get this board seat, and it must be the most prestigious one.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Lü Ren and Lu Jin, as he plotted how to proceed.

Lu Ren's expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp as knives.

The Lü family has long been deeply involved with Nadotong, and his brother Lü Ci had already joined the company long ago.

For the Lü family, this board seat represents not only power and responsibility, but also a bond to further solidify their relationship with Na Du Tong.

He needs to ensure that the Lü family has enough say in the board of directors to protect the family's interests, while also balancing his relationship with Zhao Zhen and the company.

Lu Jin frowned slightly, seemingly digesting this entirely new concept.

The Lu family prides itself on its "family tradition of integrity" and acts relatively uprightly, but precisely because of this, they sometimes appear less tactful in the power struggle.

This board seat presents both an opportunity and a challenge for the Lu family.

What he needs to consider is how to maintain the Lu family's traditions and reputation under the new rules, while also contributing to the stability of the supernatural world.

Zhang Zhiwei remained silent, his deep gaze fixed on Zhao Zhen, carrying a hint of barely perceptible worry.

When Zhao Zhen unleashed his power just now, he keenly sensed an unusual fluctuation. It wasn't a pure display of power; it seemed to be mixed with some kind of... restlessness and instability.

Recalling the issue of the three corpses that Zhao Zhen had previously mentioned to him, Zhang Zhiwei felt a little gloomy.

His old friend seems to be under immense pressure that no one knows about.

While the board's vision is grand, Zhao Zhen's own condition is the biggest variable in the future situation.

Meanwhile, Xia Liuqing, sitting in the corner, also had a flickering look in her eyes.

The Quanxing sect being incorporated into the order? It sounds like a fantasy, but Zhao Zhen's iron fist and his all-knowing abilities force him to take it seriously.

This so-called "survival within the rules" is nothing short of a shackle for Quanxing, who are already used to lawlessness.

He needed to get this message back to Quanxing as soon as possible to see how those lawless guys would react.

To be honest, Xia Liuqing is now actually looking forward to seeing how those guys will react to this news.
Zhao Zhen took in everyone's reactions and understood what was going on.

The cake of power has been placed on the table; what follows is the time for various forces to engage in open and covert struggles, forming alliances and counter-alliances.

This is exactly the effect he wanted: to keep the conflict within the framework of the rules and achieve a dynamic balance through internal competition.

"The specific articles of association and seat allocation method of the board of directors will be formalized into documents by Na Du Tong after the meeting and sent to each faction for public announcement to the entire world of supernatural beings."

Zhao Zhen's voice rang out again, silencing the discussion in the room.

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room, his tone turning serious.

"Finally, let me reiterate, and this is the only and inviolable ironclad rule of All-Knowing: It is absolutely forbidden to harass or harm ordinary people with supernatural abilities!"
This rule is both the bottom line and the red line! Meeting adjourned! With Zhao Zhen's order, the Second Extraordinary People Conference came to an end.

The attendees left one after another with varying thoughts: some were excited, some were solemn, some were calculating, and some were worried.

But without a doubt, Zhao Zhen's words just now have drawn the attention of the entire supernatural world to those eight seats!

……

Headquarters of Nadutong, Chairman's Office.

After seeing off the last group of sect leaders who came to "consult" about board seats, Zhao Fangxu rubbed his throbbing temples and pushed open the door to his office.

"Master, everyone's been seen off. Those people are all as cunning as monkeys; they were subtly probing the significance of the board seats and how to obtain them."

Zhao Fangxu walked to Zhao Zhen's side, his tone tinged with weariness, but his eyes were unusually bright.

"However, Master, your move is truly brilliant! By bringing them all into the company's system, letting them fight for board seats among themselves, while we manage from the center, it saves us a lot of trouble and effort!"

Zhao Zhen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, her back to Zhao Fangxu, looking down at the square below, which was gradually returning to calm.

The afterglow of the setting sun gilded his tall figure with a golden edge, yet it inexplicably exuded a sense of loneliness.

"Fang Xu..."

Zhao Zhen did not turn around; her voice remained calm.

"Power is a double-edged sword; it can make people bow down, or it can make them lose their way."

After the board of directors is established, the various forces will be intertwined, and the balance and checks and balances will become extremely delicate.

As my only disciple, you will likely have to face these whirlpools in the future. Remember my words: the higher you stand, the more you must guard your true self.

Some things are easy to pick up, but hard to put down...

Zhao Fangxu's excitement subsided slightly, and he nodded earnestly, "Disciple understands! I will keep Master's teachings in mind and always remain clear-headed!"

Just as the master and apprentice were talking, Yu Yang suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Chairman Zhao, the Celestial Master has arrived."

"Hmm? He didn't go back? Quickly, invite him in!"

A moment later, led by Yu Yang, Zhang Zhiwei was also taken to the newly built reception hall of Na Du Tong.

"Old Zhang, you suddenly disappeared without a word after the conference ended. I thought you went straight back!"

Looking at his old friend in front of him, Zhao Zhen finally showed a knowing smile.

"I didn't just disappear without a word. It's just that you, Old Zhao, have been surrounded by people and you're such a busy man."

Even if my old friend wanted to catch up with you, he couldn't possibly get a word in edgewise.

Zhang Zhiwei laughed heartily and, without any hesitation, sat down on the sofa.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I'd like to hide away on your mountain for a couple of days to have some peace and quiet, but as you can see from the current situation, the whole circle is in complete chaos, and I really can't leave even for a day..."

Zhao Zhen sighed and then waved to Yu Yang to quickly serve tea to the guests.

After Yu Yang left, only Zhao Zhen and Zhang Zhiwei remained in the reception room.

Zhang Zhiwei first gave Zhao Zhen a deep look, then suddenly spoke with a serious expression:

"Old Zhao, is something wrong with your health?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Zhao Zhen's face instantly froze.

After a brief silence, a hint of helplessness flashed across Zhao Zhen's face.

"As expected, even if I could fool others, I couldn't fool you, you old fox!"
