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

"Yes... but the most important thing is that I succeeded."

Zhang Chulan took out a folded printed photo from his pocket and handed it to Xu Si.

"This... open it and take a look."

"?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Xu Si took the photo and opened it.

"This? This is!"

The moment Xu Si opened the photo, he was stunned, as was Xu San.

Is this the baby?

As seen in the photo, it is an oil painting of a little girl who bears a striking resemblance to Feng Baobao.

Especially her incredibly clever eyes, which are something that most little girls don't possess.

“Hmm, maybe…” Zhang Chulan nodded and continued:

"I was the first person to rush in, and this portrait was right in front of me."

"With that scoundrel Wang Zhenqiu watching me, I couldn't bring the painting out. I just took a picture of it with my phone and then destroyed it with a palm grenade."

"I must apologize to you both. The reason I didn't tell you something beforehand was because I had my doubts about you, but I've now dismissed them."

"You even doubt me and the fourth brother?"

Xu San pushed up his glasses, somewhat shocked.

It's worth noting that he spent far more time with Xu Si and Feng Baobao than Zhang Chulan did with Feng Baobao.

"Hmm... I understand. If it were me, I really couldn't believe it either..."

Before Zhang Chulan could explain, Xu Si, who was standing to the side, realized what was going on and nodded in understanding.

"?"

Seeing that Xu San still looked puzzled, Xu Si spoke up:

"Don't you understand? Third brother, the person Dad has been pursuing to know the baby... has appeared! And this person saw the portrait before Zhang Chulan and the others, and even stayed..."

"Guess who it's for?"

Chapter 227 Zhang Lingyu, whom Zhang Chulan has his eye on~ (Second Update)

"Baby?" Xu San looked at Feng Baobao beside him after hearing the question.

“Hmm…” Zhang Chulan nodded and then said:

"This makes things very interesting. How did the person who left the drawing know that we were going to that place?"

"this..."

Listening to Zhang Chulan's words, Xu Si stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and offered his guess.

"Is it Lu Jin? Didn't you say you went to the Lu family and Lu Jin brought up the matter of Granny Jin Feng?"

"Yes... but it's unlikely that it's Master Lu. Mentioning Jin Feng's behavior to me would be tantamount to admitting it... Besides, Master Lu has no reason to do such a thing."

Zhang Chulan essentially refuted Xu Si's guess.

"The most important reason why I say Master Lu didn't need to do this is... it wasn't Master Lu who introduced us to Jin Feng, but rather in Biyou Village..."

Xu Si was slightly taken aback upon hearing Zhang Chulan's words.

"Biyou Village? Didn't you only find out about Granny Jinfeng because Chen Duo happened to go and capture her?"

"Yes, but isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?" Zhang Chulan glanced at Feng Baobao beside him and then said:

"The mission was received by chance, and the person who happened to know about it actually had the key information... It was all too coincidental."

"Even Chen Duo herself said that she suddenly received Ma Xianhong's order to take Jin Feng away... and this timing just happened to be the time when we were supposed to arrest Chen Duo..."

"After that, our arrest of Chen Duo will inevitably bring Jin Feng into our sights. As long as we are still investigating the Jia Shen Rebellion, Jin Feng, who has close ties with Wu Gensheng, will inevitably attract our attention again..."

"And the information Jin Feng possesses will lead us to the Cave of the Humans... In addition, those foreigners who are also searching for Wu Gensheng's collection happen to appear at the same time as us entering the valley..."

"All of this... seems to be driven by a mastermind, rather than a mere coincidence."

Listening to Zhang Chulan's description, Xu San and Xu Si also felt that this matter was a bit serious.

"So, what's their purpose?" Xu San asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course I don't know..." Zhang Chulan replied.

"Third brother, now you understand, right? Why Zhang Chulan had doubts about us... There are two conditions that must be met to do all this."

Xu Si took over the conversation, looked at Xu San, and continued:

"First, I know about Bao Bao and Zhang Chulan, and I know what they are doing."

"Secondly, they have an extremely thorough understanding of the company's internal workings, which is a perfect match for both of us."

After listening to Xu Si's words, Xu San remained silent for a while.

"But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that you two are probably fine. Although your positions are not low, you are not capable of doing these things..."

Zhang Chulan looked at Xu San and Xu Si, and then turned his suspicions toward the company's higher-ups.

"The only ones capable of doing this... are those board members who could mobilize temporary workers during the Biyou Village incident..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's suspicions, Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance, knowing that if this matter were to be investigated further, it would lead to serious problems.

"In short... no matter who it is, we have to find him. This person definitely knows more about the baby than we do," Xu Si said.

"Everything will be clear once we find him."

"The key is that we can't find them. They're in the dark, and we're in the light... Since they want to convey some information... there's something I don't understand. Why did they go through all this trouble to convey such a small amount of information?"

Zhang Chulan looked at the oil painting in the photograph and muttered to himself as if deep in thought:

"Unless he has something to worry about... then what is he worried about?"

After thinking about the other party's purpose for a long time, it seemed that if the other party was in a high position and had great power, they didn't need to worry about them.

"No matter what... having someone with such an ambiguous attitude and formidable strength in the world is really making me a little uncomfortable," Xu Si said, lighting a cigarette.

It felt like having a sharp blade hanging around your neck, and you never knew when it would fall.

"So we need power, more power to protect Sister Bao'er," Zhang Chulan said.

He hesitated for a second, then offered his own idea:

"Fourth Brother, Third Brother, I want to completely bring Brother Liu into our camp... I might even tell Sister Bao'er a little about her background..."

"Xiao Zhou?"

Upon hearing that Zhang Chulan wanted to tell Zhou Fengliu about Feng Baobao's background, Xu San shook his head:

"No, absolutely not. The fewer people who know about the baby's background, the better... Although Xiao Zhou is a very nice person, it still won't work."

"Besides, Xiao Zhou won't be staying in our North China region anymore..."

Zhang Chulan was slightly taken aback by Xu San's words.

"Third Brother, what does this mean?"

"Xiao Zhou's transfer order has come down. Once Xiao Zhou returns to work, he will be going to the South China region in less than two days. From now on, he will be the person in charge of the South China region."

Xu Si took over the conversation and showed the transfer order to Zhang Chulan.

The board's transfer order... is currently only known to the heads of various regions. Once Zhou Fengliu's suspension ends, this transfer order will be made public throughout the entire Na Du Tong company.

With the public announcement period over, Zhou Fengliu will basically be heading to South China to take up his new post.

Although this was a good thing, Zhang Chulan couldn't be happy after reading it.

South China Region...

After that, it won't be as easy as it was in the North China branch to ask Zhou Fengliu for help.

That's not something that can be solved by simply adding more money...

"Hey, I'm actually a little reluctant to part with Xiao Zhou."

At this moment, Xu Si was also a little emotional.

Zhou Fengliu essentially brought him to the branch office and gradually pushed him to the forefront, making him an outstanding employee in the company's talent pool...

This gave Zhou Fengliu more room for development, but his former boss was a little sad.

From now on, there will be no one to share the same passion for washing feet.

"It's good news that Brother Liu has been promoted, but if that's the case... then we'll have to find someone else."

Zhang Chulan stroked his chin as if he was thinking. After a while, a piece of information he had just seen on his phone suddenly came to mind.

"Fourth Brother, what do you think of... Zhang Lingyu?"

Yes.

The helper Zhang Chulan thought of was none other than Ayu Zhenren from the Celestial Master's Mansion.

He had just seen the news on the forum about Zhang Lingyu being expelled from the Celestial Master's Mansion. Although he didn't know the specific reasons, he felt that Zhang Lingyu was qualified to be recruited.
