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

Besides Zhao Fangxu, the best person to appease was Zhou Fengliu, who was involved in the Tang Clan's affairs.

Of course.

From the company's perspective, Zhou Fengliu's decision was correct. He was very satisfied with this operation, which greatly improved the relationship between Tangmen and the company.

As for the current situation, he could only say it was due to the influence of that messy incident from the Jia Shen Rebellion.

"Xiao Zhou, here's the situation. The company's senior management is very satisfied with your performance on this mission. They've brought you to headquarters partly to assist me with some follow-up work, and partly as a test for you..."

Zhao Fangxu spoke earnestly to Zhou Fengliu over the phone.

"From a broader perspective, the company has high hopes for you, and personally, I also have high hopes for you. Having good relationships with certain factions is fine, but don't forget, the All-Encompassing Martial Arts School is your home... especially when it comes to right and wrong, you must be impartial..."

Listening to Zhao Fangxu's instructions on the other end of the phone, Zhou Fengliu understood what Zhao Fangxu meant.

The gist is: Wildflowers by the roadside smell sweet, but cultivated flowers are cultivated flowers after all... Wildflowers are just for fun, don't take them too seriously.

Anyway... that's how Zhou Fengliu understood it.

...

"Don't worry, boss. You know me, don't you? I know what I'm doing..." Zhou Fengliu gave Zhao Fangxu a great sense of security.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's answer, Zhao Fangxu nodded in satisfaction, then offered Zhou Fengliu a dose of chicken soup for the soul:

"I like young people who know their place. Talent shouldn't be wasted. Frankly, I'm thinking of transferring you to the board..."

Board of Directors?

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu on the other end of the phone frowned.

He felt as if a pot of chicken soup had been thrown at him...

Chicken soup is here!

Immediately afterwards, a large pancake was thrown at his face.

Common tactics used by leaders...

Draw a pie.

However, Zhao Fangxu's project is still worth checking out...

Zhou Fengliu casually replied to Zhao Fangxu with a couple of words.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm a one-stop shop. Wherever I'm needed, I'll be there to help..."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's reply, Zhao Fangxu felt that Zhou Fengliu's awareness had reached a new level.

This young man...

Capable, measured, and aware...

Which leader wouldn't like that?

After chatting with Zhao Fangxu for a few minutes, Zhou Fengliu had just hung up the phone when he saw Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao walking out of the corridor.

...

Let's go back to the present.

Listening to Zhou Fengliu talk about returning to headquarters tomorrow, Zhang Chulan paused for a second before smiling and saying:

"The boss is indeed a boss; he's much busier than us lowly employees..."

After complimenting Zhou Fengliu, Zhang Chulan added:

"By the way, does Brother Liu know where Wang Zhenqiu went? That kid has been missing ever since he was locked up by the Tang Clan."

"Wang Zhenqiu?"

"I don't know, maybe he ran away?" Zhou Fengliu didn't care too much about the whereabouts of that scourge of the Southwest.

"He ran away? That's not like him..."

Zhang Chulan stroked his chin, thinking that Wang Zhenqiu was definitely still secretly spying on him.

...

Zhou Fengliu didn't say much to Zhang Chulan before preparing to return to his dormitory to pack his things. Before he even got back to his dormitory, he saw a familiar figure.

At the same time he saw the other person, the other person also noticed him.

The two looked at each other, and the other person's expression was slightly awkward.

"Isn't this Teacher Tao?" Zhou Fengliu greeted him.

Tao Tao had just finished packing her luggage and looked a little disheveled. When she saw Zhou Fengliu, she gave him a helpless look.

She never expected that Zhou Fengliu, an outsider, would come and wander around the martial arts school...

First she became her colleague, then her boss, and now... she's become Zhou Fengliu's henchman, trying to get a job at Huanan Nadu Tong...

For someone who's just giving up, the worst thing is a change of environment. But Zhou Fengliu stirred things up so much that she was forced to leave her comfort zone. Who could stand that?

...

"Principal Zhou, I want to join Nadutong..."

Tao Tao, who had already started working, resolutely submitted her job application in order to earn two salaries—no, to fulfill the school's assignment.

Hearing Tao Tao's words, Zhou Fengliu nodded.

"The former principal has already told me about your situation. He said you wanted to go out and explore, so you came to our company, right?"

"?"

I want to make my own way in the world?

Tao Tao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this statement.

He then considered arguing back, but felt it was unnecessary since it wouldn't change the outcome, so he simply nodded in agreement.

"Right, that is it."

“Oh, he also said you are very capable...is that so?” Zhou Fengliu asked again.

"Me? Capable?" Tao Tao wanted to say something, but since these words came from Principal Tang, she could only nod and begin to speak:

"Ah, yes, yes... I'm capable, I'm especially capable."

Whether or not it's feasible, we'll see later...

Zhou Fengliu began speaking to Tao Tao in a serious tone:

"Mr. Tao, NaDuTong warmly welcomes talented individuals. On behalf of NaDuTong's South China branch, I welcome you to join us..."

"As long as you're willing to work hard, it won't be long before you get a promotion and a raise, become a regional manager, and reach the pinnacle of your life..."

Oops.

A huge pancake was slapped haphazardly across my face!

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's speech, Tao Tao immediately felt that Na Du Tong Company was an unscrupulous and unethical company.

...

Zhou Fengliu was also taken aback after saying this.

For some reason, he felt that what he had just said sounded familiar.

Um...

That sounds exactly like when Zhao Fangxu was making empty promises to him earlier...

Chapter 323 Lu Jin Breaks Through the Defenses! (Second Update)

Thinking of this, Zhou Fengliu tried to salvage the situation for Tao Tao:

"Don't worry, Teacher Tao, the compensation will definitely be better than at the martial arts school..."

"Hmm..." Tao Tao nodded casually.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes... I just wanted to ask, you guys are everywhere... you should be a legitimate company, right?"

Tao Tao asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu was stunned for a moment, and then his brain seemed to be electrified, flashing back to the scene when Zhang Lingyu joined Nadutong.

It seems that Zhang Lingyu asked him this question back then as well.

Why... do they ask everyone who joins the company?

Is the company's image being misunderstood by outsiders like this?

Zhou Fengliu sighed, then replied to Tao Tao:

"Don't worry about that. Na Du Tong is a legitimate company. The shady ones are just a few individual employees... and have nothing to do with our company."

Is that really... true?

Tao Tao pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Fengliu in front of her.

Forget it.
