Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

...

Seeing that Ma Xianhong was immersed in his memories of Zhou Fengliu, Qu Tong interrupted him and then led him to another cave.

In the center of the cave lay an old woman, who upon closer inspection turned out to be Jin Feng of Quanxing.

"Sister...why exactly do you want me to catch this old woman for you?"

After seeing Jin Feng, Ma Xianhong asked Qu Tong about her.

"I just wanted to ask this senior about a few things."

Qu Tong used a food pouch to store the golden phoenix, then tossed it to her subordinate to return it.

"In short... let's leave it at that. Don't overthink it. Although Biyou Village is gone, at least you now understand how to make the furnace."

“Sister…” Ma Xianhong sounded somewhat dejected upon hearing this.

"I understand how to make the furnace, but my superior cultivation techniques... and the furnace's core, are all gone..."

"With your older sister here, you don't need to worry about these things. I'll give you the furnace core again. As for the upper-grade artifact... I'll collect replacements for you if you need them." Qu Tong showed her sisterly gentleness at this moment.

"Thank you, sister..."

"Yes, the most urgent thing now is for you to quickly create a magical artifact capable of remote communication. From now on... all your electronic devices are unusable, they'll be exposed..."

Obviously.

Qu Tong knew about the existence of Er Zhuang, a temporary worker from Northeast China.

"it is good."

"In addition, your appearance and fingerprints also need to be changed," Qu Tong added.

“I understand…” Ma Xianhong nodded.

Changing Ma Xianhong's appearance was not a difficult task for Qu Tong. As one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, "Dual-Handed Technique," she could not only modify people's bodies but also tamper with their souls, extract and modify desired memories, and alter their perceptions.

In less than two hours, a completely new version of "Ma Xianhong" emerged from the cave.

The new version of Ma Xianhong has removed his long hair and replaced it with short hair. The two moles under his eyes are now reduced to one, and they have been moved to the corner of his right eye, becoming a tear mole.

...

P.S.: I beg for everything, please beg for everything. Goodnight and sweet dreams, godfathers.

Chapter 196 Chen Duo...Freedom! (First Update)

From a handsome man with long hair to a spirited young man, Ma Xianhong completed his transformation in just two and a half hours.

Such a huge change would be difficult for even Zhang Chulan, his god-uncle, to recognize.

...

The people at the Nadutong headquarters were unaware of Ma Xianhong's transformation in a certain mountain cave.

At that moment, Zhao Fangxu had just finished a meeting with the group of temporary workers, and then he called Zhou Fengliu to stay behind.

Zhou Fengliu glanced at him and immediately understood that this was about to be a shady deal.

The two rode the elevator down.

Accompanied by Zhao Fangxu, several researchers made a copy of the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements from Zhou Fengliu's possession and left it at the company, which Zhou Fengliu had originally intended to take back.

After seeing that Shenji Bailian had made a copy, Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses, put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhou Fengliu with a kind smile, and said:

"Xiao Zhou... On behalf of the company, I thank you for your contributions."

This was a standard polite remark. Zhou Fengliu was taken aback at first upon hearing it, then corrected him in a serious tone:

"We should be thanking my dearest friend and relative Zhuge Qing for his contributions... but I believe he will understand."

If Zhuge Qing were to hear this at this moment, he would definitely squint his eyes and say:

"Even lying down, you get shot."

...

“I don’t understand the things you young people do, but it’s best to keep something like the Divine Machine Refinement in the company. Come on, Xiao Zhou, I’ll take you to find Chen Duo.”

"Ah."

Zhou Fengliu yawned, then followed Zhao Fangxu in the elevator to the third basement level.

After walking through a long corridor, we finally saw Chen Duo in an isolation room.

Through the glass, Chen Duo sat calmly in the chair, her expression revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"Xiao Zhou, Chen Duo is with you now. Don't forget our promise."

Zhao Fangxu turned around and gave Zhou Fengliu a word of advice.

"it is good."

As the door opened, Chen Duo was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhou Fengliu.

"Let's go," Zhou Fengliu said to Chen Duo.

"Walk?"

"Oh, you still want to stay here? You can stay if you want, but it's up to you... This is your only chance."

"..."

Chen Duo paused for a moment, then tentatively stood up.

As she left the room, she saw Zhao Fangxu standing not far away, who was also looking at her.

"Mr. Zhao, am I still on suspension?"

Zhou Fengliu seemed to remember something and turned to ask Zhao Fangxu again.

Upon hearing this question, Zhao Fangxu raised an eyebrow.

"Calculate."

"That's good, Mr. Zhao, I'll be going now."

Zhou Fengliu had only taken a couple of steps when he noticed that Chen Duo hadn't followed, which puzzled him greatly.

"What? You really plan to stay here?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Chen Duo shook her head and said a name: "Chen Junyan..."

"?"

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Fengliu suddenly remembered that his little mongrel had originally joined the company with Chen Duo.

"Oh, right..." Zhou Fengliu said to Zhao Fangxu after remembering this:

"Mr. Zhao, you should take her little mongrel with you too."

"..." Zhao Fangxu.

...

As the elevator ascended, Chen Duo led "Chen Junyan" out of the Nadutong headquarters building, still somewhat confused about the current situation.

She really wanted to grab Zhou Fengliu's sleeve as he walked ahead and ask him what was going on, but she hesitated several times and didn't ask.

"Damn it, I didn't expect to be so busy..."

As Zhou Fengliu watched the sunset in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh that the overtime work of the past two days was not as pleasant as when he was in Biyou Village.

"Brother Liu..."

Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and Xu Si, who were waiting for him not far away, came over to greet him.

"Holy crap, Chen Duo?"

"what's the situation?"

The moment Xu Si saw the Gu child, he was so frightened that he dropped his cigarette.

"Hi!" Feng Baobao greeted Chen Duo with a cute, blank look on her face, and Chen Duo responded in kind.

"Nothing much... I just made a deal with President Zhao to get her out... She's half free now," Zhou Fengliu replied.

The deal between him and Zhao Fangxu is currently only known within the board of directors, and therefore has not yet been communicated to the regional managers.

"Brother Liu, you're amazing! You were a wanted criminal this morning, and you came out as a free man this afternoon?"

Although Zhang Chulan didn't know what Zhou Fengliu was trading with the company, he could guess that the deal must be significant.

"It's not as easy as you make it out to be," Zhou Fengliu sighed, then began to speak:

"Anyway, it was quite tricky, and it took me a lot of effort to get her out."

Ok?

Hearing Zhou Fengliu use words like "tricky" and "quite a feat," Xu Si, who had just picked up the cigarette that had fallen to the ground and put it in his mouth, suddenly felt that the words sounded very familiar.

It seems that Zhou Fengliu likes to use these words when he's doing something big... The unspoken meaning is that he wants more money.

Therefore, he is now very sensitive to these words.
