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

Hearing what Master Fang of the Natural Sect said, Huang Ning felt a little better.

If Zhao Fangxu hadn't made a promise to them later, Huang Ning would have been a complete clown tonight. Not only did he lose face in front of everyone, but his teammates would also blame him for playing the good cop too much...

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 330 Demanding People from Zhao Fangxu! (First Update)

Ten guys.

This position is also one where everyone has their own designated spot.

After Wang Ai's family was wiped out by the "Quanxing" gang, Wang Ai's position became vacant.

With only one spot available, countless sects are itching to get it.

...

Thinking about the opportunity to sit in the position of one of the Ten Elders, Huang Ning took a deep breath, and couldn't help but ask himself:

I've lived my life on thin ice... Can I really reach the position of the Ten Elders?

Huang Ning, nicknamed "Brother Libing," asked himself these questions.

...

On the other side, on the company bus.

Zhou Fengliu gazed at the night view of Beijing outside the car window, his eyes somewhat unfocused, lost in thought.

Sitting in the back row, Zhao Fangxu pondered Zhou Fengliu's performance tonight and slowly began to speak:

"Xiao Zhou, you did a great job tonight. Although it was our first time working together, it went very smoothly."

"What we said at dinner about deducting your salary was just for their ears. Don't worry, your salary won't be deducted. In fact, the company will give you double your salary this month..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu speak, Zhou Fengliu snapped out of his reverie and replied:

"Ah? Ah, it's good that Mr. Zhao gave me this opportunity... I'm just going along with it."

...

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu seemed a little distracted, Zhao Fangxu immediately asked:

"What are you thinking?"

"Are you wondering why I just said I wanted to help Huang Ning join the Ten Elders?"

"?"

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow.

Obviously.

Judging from his expression, he hadn't thought about that at all just now.

In fact...

He was lost in thought for a moment because he was wondering if he should get a massage tonight since he'd finally come all the way to the capital...

After all, Wang Ye had given him various membership cards last time, and he still had quite a few left, so he had to use them.

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu remained silent, Zhao Fangxu tacitly acknowledged that Zhou Fengliu had this idea, and then spoke up:

"Young people who want to make a difference should be given a chance, right? It's a good thing to inject some young blood into the Ten Elders Association."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu, who originally didn't want to say anything, couldn't help but speak up.

"It has to be you, killing three birds with one stone..."

"Oh? What do you mean by killing three birds with one stone?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu say that, Zhao Fangxu pushed up his glasses and asked in return.

"One stone, three birds... isn't that killing three birds with one stone?" Seeing that Zhao Fangxu was pretending not to know, Zhou Fengliu didn't press the matter further.

If Zhao Fangxu had wanted to support Huang Ning's entry into the Ten Elders, he would have done so long ago... there would be no need for now.

To put it bluntly, expressing support at this time is purely to reassure the Truth Seeking Society and give them some hope.

Support is one thing, but whether or not one will be elected is another matter entirely.

Besides stabilizing the Seeking Truth Society, once the news of selecting the Ten Elders is spread, it will inevitably attract the attention of other sects in the circle.

When other sects hear that the chairman of NaDuTong is so supportive of their ambitious young members' "progress," they will definitely seize the opportunity to perform well.

Whether it's seeking stability and avoiding trouble, or maintaining order within the company, this is the outcome the company desires.

As for the Ten Elders Society...

The interests of the Ten Elders were originally limited. With Wang Ai gone, the power of the other Elders will definitely be redistributed. Now that they hear that Qiu Zhenhui is going to join the ranks of the Ten Elders.

It's likely that some people will try to sabotage the process, both openly and secretly, to make things difficult for Qiu Zhenhui.

As difficult as it may be, if Qiu Zhenhui manages to enter the ranks of the top ten, it will undoubtedly serve as a warning to the other top ten employees:

If the company can let the Wang family go, it can naturally let Qiu Zhen come up... In the company's eyes, the Ten Elders and other sects are all the same.

...

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's feigned ignorance, Zhao Fangxu didn't press him for details. He simply smiled knowingly and then changed the subject:

"Xiao Zhou, you've solved a lot of difficult problems for the company and for me personally recently. If there's anything else your South China region needs, just let us know."

"?"

Upon hearing this, a single word instantly flashed through Zhou Fengliu's mind.

money!

However, as if Zhao Fangxu had anticipated his thoughts, he added a sentence in advance:

"I just promised you double your salary this month. Besides money, whatever else you want, I'll try my best to satisfy you."

"..."

Zhao Fangxu's addition was undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured on Zhou Fengliu.

Okay, okay...

Double pay shut me up?

Zhou Fengliu sighed.

The longest road he's ever walked is the road paved with the tricks of company leaders...

Seeing the change in Zhou Fengliu's expression, Zhao Fangxu slowly spoke:

"As for money, I think the South China region is rolling in it lately, isn't it?"

"I've heard that the salaries of your frontline employees in the South China region are much higher than those in other regions... If we give more funding to South China, the other regions will start complaining to me about being poor."

"As for you personally, you've had quite a bit of bonus and salary lately, haven't you? I gave you a substantial bonus for sending you to investigate the Tang Clan..."

"If I give you an extra special bonus, I'll have a hard time explaining it to my superiors. You know, this company isn't just mine alone..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu nodded dismissively, indicating that these were just excuses Zhao Fangxu used to avoid allocating funds to him.

"If you don't want to allocate funds, then send some outstanding talents over here. We're quite short of talented people in South China..."

Zhou Fengliu said this.

Despite having Zhang Lingyu from the Celestial Master's Mansion overseeing the South China region, there is still a shortage of manpower.

Especially when he wasn't in South China, Zhang Lingyu was like a beast of burden, bearing all the pressure.

“You’re short-staffed? That makes sense. After all, South China is connected to the Southeast Asian supernatural beings. I can send some employees over there for you.” Zhao Fangxu thought this offer was feasible.

“They’re not employees, they’re outstanding talents…” Zhou Fengliu emphasized.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangxu raised an eyebrow. He instantly understood that Zhou Fengliu had someone in mind.

"Who do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and then tentatively asked:

"I remember Zhuge Qing... isn't he still being held by headquarters?"

"?"

"You want Zhuge Qing to go to South China?" Zhao Fangxu frowned.

"No, Zhuge Qing, headquarters has a brilliant use for this..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's answer, Zhou Fengliu finally understood.

Ultimately, it's because headquarters thinks South China is too wealthy.

They have no money, and they won't give you your person either...

What else is there to say?

"If that's how you put it, then I have no other requests."
