Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 381 List of Board Members
A moment later, Zhao Fangxu and Yu Yang rushed into the reception room.

Upon seeing Zhao Zhen, Zhao Fangxu immediately asked, "Master, what happened? Why did you call us over in such a hurry?"

Yu Yang, standing to the side, also looked at Zhao Zhen with a puzzled expression.

He had followed Zhao Zhen for so many years, and in his memory, his boss Zhao rarely lost his composure like this...

Could it be related to the visit by Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei?

Just as Yu Yang was overwhelmed with emotion, Zhao Zhen's next words struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and frozen in place.

"Yu Yang, Fang Xu, effective today, I will step down from my position as chairman of Nadutong."

Upon hearing this, the entire reception room fell into a deathly silence.

Zhao Zhen's words were like a thunderclap in the silent reception room.

The concern on Zhao Fangxu's face froze instantly, then quickly turned into incredulous astonishment.

"Master?! What did you say? Resign?! ​​This...this can't be allowed?! The company has only just..."

Yu Yang, who was standing to the side, was shocked and his face turned pale instantly. As one of the people who had followed Zhao Zhen the longest and knew the company's foundation best, he realized more clearly than Zhao Fangxu what this decision meant.

His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word. He just stared at Zhao Zhen with a look of fear and confusion.

Zhang Zhiwei sat to the side, his expression calm, but his eyes held a hint of understanding and barely perceptible concern.

He had long anticipated that Zhao Zhen would ultimately make this choice, but he hadn't expected it to be so quick and so decisive.

As expected of Zhao Zhen?

Today, Na Du Tong is at the height of its power, and its prestige in the world of supernatural beings is even greater than that of their Celestial Master's Mansion.

Add to that its official backing, and it's no exaggeration to say that the world of supernatural beings will practically become a one-man show by Duan Tong!
As the chairman of Nadutong, the power represented by this position is unimaginable!
Even so, faced with the temptation of what could almost be called the "local tyrant" of the supernatural world, Zhao Zhen was still able to choose to give it up without hesitation!

Just as Zhang Zhiwei was lost in thought, Zhao Zhen slowly raised his hand, stopping Zhao Fangxu's almost out-of-control words.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable penetrating power, instantly quelling the panic in the room.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Zhao Zhen's gaze swept over the two people he trusted most, and deep in his tired eyes was an unprecedented clarity and decisiveness.

"Fang Xu, Yu Yang, listen carefully."

He walked to the center of the office, where the lamplight outlined his slightly thin but still upright figure.

"First, my resignation is effective immediately. The board of directors' articles of association are established and will be operated in accordance with them."

The position of chairman of Nadutong will not be vacant. The heads of each region will elect a new chairman as quickly as possible in accordance with the articles of association.

Prior to this, Zhao Fangxu will act as chairman, with Yu Yang assisting him, to ensure the company operates normally and the new order remains unshaken!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangxu spoke anxiously.

"Master! This...this is too rushed! The candidates for the board of directors haven't even been decided yet. Without your presence, the various factions..."

"These are the candidates for the major board members. I actually already had them in mind."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen took a document from his desk.

Zhao Fangxu and Yu Yang took the document and quickly read it with serious expressions.

"The Four Families, the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Shaolin Temple, the Northeast Shamanic lineage, and... Jianghu Xiaozhan?" Yu Yang and Zhao Fangxu exchanged glances.

They could understand the first seven forces. Whether it was the four families, the Celestial Master's Mansion, or the Shaolin Temple, these were all top-tier sects in the world of supernatural beings. Together, they could completely represent the entire world of supernatural beings.

But the two of them were a little confused about the last inn in the Jianghu.

Compared to these established forces, Jianghu Xiaozhan is just a new force similar to Na Du Tong, and it mainly deals in intelligence.

I'm afraid many people in the industry would object to them taking up seats on the board.

Since it was Zhao Zhen's decision, Yu Yang and Zhao Fangxu didn't say anything more.

After all, Zhao Zhen's seemingly illogical decisions in the past have always been proven to be insightful by time!

Therefore, this time, the two of them naturally believed it without a doubt as well.

"Originally, I planned to drag it out, let them start fighting amongst themselves over the board seats, so I could reap the benefits and eventually harvest another wave of profits, but unfortunately..."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen also let out a long sigh.

If he were there, his prestige would certainly be enough to keep those unruly guys in check, so there's no need to worry about whether doing so would cause any trouble.

But now that he is about to step down as chairman, once the news gets out, not only will there be internal strife within Nadotong, but those guys outside will certainly not let go of this golden opportunity.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to abandon this plan and instead focus on quickly stabilizing the situation within Nadutong.

"After I step down, I hope that you, Fang Xu, will take over as the next chairman."

"What? But Master, I..."

"second!"

Zhao Zhen interrupted him again, her tone becoming more forceful and carrying an unyielding authority.

"The three corpses in my body have reached a critical point, and can only be resolved by seclusion and meditation to find the root cause."

If this drags on any longer, not only will I be in grave danger, but I may also lose my composure and be completely controlled by the Three Corpses. At that time, it will be a catastrophe for both the All-Knowing Sect and the world of the Outcasts!
Fang Xu, I hope you remember what your teacher said: Power is dazzling, but life and the Dao are the fundamental things!

My actions are not an act of escapism, but a desperate measure to save myself and preserve the overall situation!

These words struck Zhao Fangxu and Yu Yang like a heavy hammer blow.

They then fully understood that Zhao Zhen was not acting impulsively, but that his body had indeed reached its limit, to the point that it threatened his own existence and the foundation of the company.

Recalling Zhao Zhen's brief yet chilling burst of power at today's conference, and the lingering fatigue between his brows and the faint, cold restlessness emanating from his body, the shock and worry in the two men's hearts immediately overwhelmed their initial panic.

"third……"

Zhao Zhen turned her gaze to Zhang Zhiwei.

"Old Zhang, I'm afraid I'll be visiting you for a while from now on."

Longhu Mountain is a sacred place for quiet cultivation, filled with righteous energy. It is my first choice for suppressing the Three Corpses and seeking a way to resolve them, not to mention..."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen's gaze toward Zhang Zhiwei gradually became more playful.

"I'm probably not the only one who wants to completely sever their three corpses these days, am I?"
