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

"Oh, you haven't eaten yet... If you haven't eaten, why don't you come to South China for something to eat? It's on me."

"Oh, let's get down to business... Okay, whatever your instructions."

Chen Duo and Zhang Lingyu ate while watching Zhou Fengliu make a phone call.

It's unclear what Zhou Fengliu heard, but his brow suddenly furrowed.

"You want me to go to the Tang Clan?"

Zhou Fengliu was somewhat surprised to hear Zhao Fangxu's voice on the other end of the phone.

He was having hotpot and singing with Chen Duo and Zhang Lingyu when he heard the news that he had to go to the Tang Sect before they even finished eating.

"What does the leader mean by this?" Zhou Fengliu asked Zhao Fangxu on the other end of the phone.

Why would someone in charge of the South China region need to go to the Tang Clan in the Southwest region?

and many more...

Zhou Fengliu pondered for a second, and suddenly remembered that according to the original plot, after the dramatic operation, Zhang Chulan would go to the Tang Sect to cause trouble.

Could it be that there's a dog?

...

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question on the other end of the phone, Zhao Fangxu calmly replied:

"Little Zhou, it's like this. On the surface, you're going to the Tang Clan in your own name, but in reality, you're going as my special envoy..."

"The task is quite simple: secretly investigate whether the Tang Clan has been making any major moves recently."

"?"

Faced with this task, Zhou Fengliu chewed a couple of bites of mutton dipped in sesame sauce and then said:

"Well... you should tell Brother Hao, right? It's not appropriate for me to cross over into Brother Hao's territory, is it? I won't do anything that's detrimental to internal unity. Besides... I don't even know the boundaries of the Southwest region."

To know...

The person in charge of the Southwest region is Hao Yi, not Zhou Fengliu. It's very detrimental to the company's internal unity to arbitrarily cause trouble on someone else's turf.

"Little Zhou, you should understand what a special envoy is, and you should also understand what a secret is, right? I'll have Hao Yi send someone... then the Tang Clan will find out, won't they?"

Zhao Fangxu also offered an explanation for Zhou Fengliu's refusal.

Zhou Fengliu certainly knew what a special envoy was and what a secret mission was, but he just pretended not to hear what he wanted to hear...

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu did not answer, Zhao Fangxu, who was sitting in the office, silently pushed up his glasses and then said meaningfully:

"Xiao Zhou, I think I recently saw a few applications from your South China region for funding subsidies to refurbish equipment..."

"..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu knew that what he wanted to hear had arrived.

"Can the leadership resolve this?"

"This is quite difficult, since all the regions are facing difficulties, and the headquarters is also facing difficulties. However, if you are willing to help the company with this, the headquarters will naturally give priority to your South China region."

"In addition... the company and I have seen your recent performance in South China... How about this, in addition to the normal travel expenses and business trip allowance, if you complete this task, the company will give you an extra bonus."

Zhao Fangxu had already made his statement very definitive, outlining conditions both for the region and for his personal interests.

After hearing Zhao Fangxu's conditions, Zhou Fengliu finally felt that there was still hope for going to the Tang Sect.

It's really not easy to squeeze some money out of the stingy headquarters.

“Boss, since you’ve said so, I have no choice but to go,” Zhou Fengliu said.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's change of attitude, Zhao Fangxu said again:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't do anything that would harm unity? What? You're allowed to do it now?"

When asked about Zhao Fangxu's question, Zhou Fengliu said that he had only told half of what he had said.

He won't do anything that's detrimental to unity, unless... he gets more money!

As long as there's money to be made... that's like purging corrupt officials and eliminating traitors. How can that be considered detrimental to unity?

This is clearly a great deal of unity.

Despite thinking this, Zhou Fengliu couldn't say it aloud. He cleared his throat and then spoke:

"Boss, I won't do anything that's detrimental to unity, but if it's to help the company share its burdens, I think Brother Hao will understand, since it's all for the good of the company."

After listening to Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhao Fangxu smiled and then said:

"Xiao Zhou, if that's what you think, then I'm relieved."

"I'll talk to Hao Yi in advance... You should get ready and set off in the next few days, as long as it doesn't disrupt the normal operations of the South China region."

"Got it."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Fengliu put down the phone, and Chen Duo and Zhang Lingyu both stared at him.

"Is there a mission?" Zhang Lingyu asked when Zhou Fengliu didn't speak.

"Hmm... I'll go to the Tang Clan."

"Tangmen?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu mention the Tang Clan, Zhang Lingyu was somewhat surprised: "Isn't the Tang Clan in the Southwest Region? What are we going there for?"

"There might be some changes at Tang Sect. The company asked me to go and take a look."

Zhou Fengliu wiped his mouth, then glanced at Zhang Lingyu and Chen Duo, who was standing to the side with an expectant look on her face.

"Which of you... wants to come with me?"

"I'll go with you."

Before Chen Duo could speak, Zhang Lingyu spoke first.

"..."

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu had taken the lead, Chen Duo, who had been itching to act, was now just waiting to be caught off guard.

Seeing that she was holding her bowl and chopsticks without saying anything, she just continued eating the food in the pot.

"You want to go..."

Zhou Fengliu looked at Zhang Lingyu, then turned his gaze to Chen Duo and said:

"Alright, since Master Ayu has said so... then Duozi, you come with me."

Chapter 261 The Tang Sect Needs a Revolution! (Second Update)

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Lingyu, who had thought she would go, was taken aback.

"what?"

"What do you mean 'ah'? You're staying to watch the house, but you can't expect Duozi to watch the house, can you? In the end, South China can't do without our Master Ayu."

Zhou Fengliu made these arrangements.

Faced with this decision, Zhang Lingyu looked at Chen Duo in front of him and then agreed with Zhou Fengliu's decision.

indeed.

South China needs someone to keep watch and oversee things.

"Duozi, do you have any objections?" Zhou Fengliu asked Chen Duo.

"I...have only one question."

Listening to Chen Duo's words, Zhou Fengliu could guess what this guy wanted to ask even with his toes.

"There's a task-based allowance..."

“Then I’ll go,” Chen Duo said, having gotten the answer she wanted.

“…” Zhang Lingyu.

An unspoken understanding that requires no further questions...

Zhou Fengliu had already anticipated Chen Duo's problem.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was deploying troops in South China, Zhao Fangxu had just hung up the phone at the headquarters of Nadutong in Beijing.

He was in a very good mood after talking to Zhou Fengliu.

Zhou Fengliu's change in attitude made him find Zhou Fengliu very interesting, somewhat like Zhang Chulan.

Young people these days...

This is one of the most tactful and smooth-talking people ever.

Zhang Chulan doesn't seem to have much strength...

Zhou Fengliu was the same.
