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

Their attitude was much the same as Bi Youlong's.

Despite numerous irregularities in the handling of Zhou Fengliu's case, the outcome was positive.

From the company's perspective, they only want the result, not the process.

Hearing the statements of the directors present, even if Zhao Fangxu felt the same way as them, he couldn't say it now.

He had to play the stern role to the end so that the company could give an answer to its middle and lower-level employees, and to the world of supernatural beings...

"Since everyone has expressed their opinions, let me say something too."

Zhao Fangxu glanced at Zhou Fengliu beside him, paused for two seconds, and then said:

"From the outcome, Xiao Zhou's sudden action was a great achievement, and we should commend him. However, considering the process, his irregularities warrant punishment..."

Chapter 467 Administrative Leave! Zhao Fangxu continues to demand personnel. (Second Update)

"The company has its own rules and regulations. If all employees acted like Xiao Zhou, arresting people without consulting the authorities and using any means necessary, what kind of company would that be?"

"Everyone, please remember that the company was founded to maintain the balance and uphold the rules of the world of supernatural beings, not to break them..."

"We must have our own principles, especially since everyone here is a director of Na Du Tong. We must be even more steadfast in our principles. Even though the world of supernatural beings is a mixed bag, we must remain firm in our principles and stance."

Zhao Fangxu used the excuse of talking about Zhou Fengliu to give a warning to the directors of Nadutong present.

"Therefore, Xiao Zhou's actions this time, merits are merits and demerits are demerits... We must be clear about rewards and punishments, and we must never erase mistakes just because of merits."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, the directors present nodded in agreement.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's do it this way..."

Zhao Fangxu then looked at Zhou Fengliu and said:

"Xiao Zhou, you've helped the company catch the mole in this operation, a major achievement. Your bonus will be deposited into your salary account along with next month's paycheck..."

"In addition, given the irregularities you committed during this operation, the board has decided... you will be suspended with pay for one month."

When Zhao Fangxu announced the punishment, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Administrative leave?

He knows this all too well.

When the Wang family was wiped out, Zhao Fangxu, in conjunction with the board of directors, made a decision overnight to suspend him with pay...

"Is there a problem, Xiao Zhou?"

Zhao Fangxu noticed the unusual expression on Zhou Fengliu's face, so he asked him a question.

"No, I will obey the organization's arrangements."

"Ah."

...

After a moment.

The board meeting has adjourned.

Zhao Fangxu left Zhou Fengliu behind alone.

The two had a private conversation in Zhao Fangxu's office.

Compared to his previous serious expression, Zhao Fangxu's face was much more amiable this time.

"Xiao Zhou, you've worked hard today, resolving such a major internal problem for the company. Now's a good opportunity for you to take a good rest..."

Zhao Fangxu looked at Zhou Fengliu kindly and spoke slowly.

Regarding his collaboration with Zhou Fengliu this time, he said... it was really too smooth.

Zhou Fengliu was incredibly perceptive; he understood his thoughts and was even able to cooperate to achieve the ultimate goal.

With this awareness, he believed that Zhou Fengliu would eventually succeed him and sit in the chairman's position.

"There's no such thing as hard work or not, it's all about serving the company..." Zhou Fengliu stated first, then asked:

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, what should we do with Qu Tong?"

"this..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhao Fangxu's expression changed slightly:

"She's been detained for now. It will take some time to deal with her... She has quite a lot of connections."

Although Qu Tong is merely the head of a civilian intelligence agency specializing in supernatural beings, her network of connections is complex, even extending to higher levels of government. Therefore, it's best to keep an eye on her and not take any major action...

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu quickly realized that Qu Tong had a large umbrella behind her...

Right.

Without an umbrella, how could Qu Tong have built Yaoxing Society into one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world of supernatural beings in just a few years...?

"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. Xiao Zhou... you can mention any conditions you have... you've done something shady for the company this time, so as long as it's not excessive, the company can grant your requests appropriately."

Zhao Fangxu revealed the purpose of summoning Zhou Fengliu.

"Conditions? Well..."

Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, then looked at Zhao Fangxu and said:

"Um... what are your plans, leader? He also contributed to this operation."

"?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu mention Ma Xianhong, Zhao Fangxu instantly understood Zhou Fengliu's thoughts.

"No, Xiao Zhou... what are you trying to do? First Zhuge Qing, then Ma Xianhong, and I remember you also lured Zhang Lingyu to the South China region, right?"

"And what about Chen Duo? Are you really planning to pull all those talented people in the company to your own little corner of the world?"

It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as Zhao Fangxu was brought up, something felt off.

These people are all promising talents in the company, young elites, each with their own unique abilities in their respective fields...

Zhou Fengliu managed to get so many people on board...

What is Zhou Fengliu up to?

Are you assembling a team?

New heads of the seven major regions?

...

Faced with Zhao Fangxu's question, Zhou Fengliu shook his head:

"Boss, you can't say that. What do you mean by 'my own little plot of land'? We're all working at the company; there's no distinction between 'your' and 'mine'..."

"Besides, all I asked you for was Zhuge Qing. As for Zhang Lingyu, I was the one who brought him into the company, and this Ma Xianhong... he hasn't even joined the company yet, has he?"

"How can you be considered a member of the company if you haven't joined?"

Zhao Fangxu: "..."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fangxu slowly spoke:

"If you can get Ma Xianhong to join the company and work at the bunker, I won't care where he goes..."

"That one sentence from the leader is enough."

Faced with Zhao Fangxu's statement, Zhou Fengliu was quite satisfied and withdrew his hand.

...

Zhou Fengliu emerged from Zhao Fangxu's office feeling refreshed and invigorated.

If Lao Ma can really be brought into the company, then his team will be much more complete.

Zhang Lingyu is the future light of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

There is an assassin, Tao Tao, a killer from the Tang Clan.

There is a Gu master, Chen Duo, a Gu-body Saint Child.

In addition, there is the sorcerer, Zhuge Qing, a descendant of Zhuge Liang.

And Ma Xianhong, a weapon refiner and successor of one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, Divine Refinement, was assigned as a logistical support unit.

Oh, right...

There's also the cook, Fu Rong, who forms the core of the team.

This lineup is competitive even in the international community of superhumans.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fengliu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These are all the backbone of the future company.

As he was pondering this, he saw Zhuge Qing coming towards him.

Upon seeing him, Zhuge Qing asked with great concern:

"Mr. Jay, I heard you've been suspended?"

"Okay, suspended for a month."

Zhou Fengliu nodded, then said:
