Under One Person: The End of Technique, Company Building

"Have you thought it through?" Lu Ci's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

"I've thought it through." Lü Liang lowered his head, his forehead pressed against the floor. "I did something wrong, and I should accept the Lü family's discipline."

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Lu Ci finally turned around and looked at his great-grandson kneeling on the ground. "Good, you've got guts."

Get up.

Lü Liang slowly stood up, head down, not daring to look Lü Ci in the eye.

Lu Ci walked up to him, reached out, and patted him on the shoulder. His voice wasn't loud, but every word was heavy: "If you truly have a repentant heart, the Lu family won't abandon you. But if you're just putting on an act..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear.

Lü Liang's body trembled slightly, and he nodded vigorously.

He didn't know if he would regret making this decision, but at least at this moment, it was his own decision, and no one else's influence on it.

Zhuge Qi stood aside, watching this scene without saying a word.

In truth, he didn't really believe that Lü Ci would leave Lü Liang to the company, even though the Lü family was destined to face a purge from the company.

However, Lü Liang's return to the Lü family may not be a bad thing for the company, as it was originally part of the plan.

The Lü family was already planning a major purge due to the matter of the Minghun Technique.

If Lü Liang went back at this time, it would be like throwing a match into a powder keg.

He didn't know how badly it would explode.

But he knew that the Lü family would be severely damaged this time, making them easier to control in the future.

"Alright." Lü Ci turned around and looked at Zhuge Qi. "Section Chief Zhuge, I've taken Lü Liang with me. As for the company's investigation, if you need any cooperation, just have someone contact Lü Zhong."

Zhuge Qi nodded and extended his hand: "Old Master Lü, take care."

Lu Ci shook his hand and turned to walk towards the door of the reception room.

Lu Zhong opened the door and stepped aside to let his father go first.

Lü Liang followed behind them, took two steps, and then suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked at Zhuge Qi.

Zhuge Qi waved his hand without saying a word.

Lü Liang gave him a deep look, then turned and followed Lü Ci out of the reception room.

The sound of footsteps fading into the distance echoed down the corridor.

The reception room fell silent.

Ma Hong stood to the side, scratched his head, and muttered under his breath, "That's it?"

Zhuge Qi did not answer, but walked to the window and looked at the courtyard outside.

Three black sedans were slowly driving out of the gate of the North China branch.

The Lü family's convoy has left.

He leaned against the window frame, took out his phone from his pocket, found Zhao Fangxu's number, thought for a moment, and then locked the screen.

I'll report back later.

The Lü family naturally needs to make follow-up arrangements. Although the company will not directly participate in the cleaning as agreed, it still needs to send someone to supervise.

Zhuge Qi did not intend to go to this person himself.

We can't do everything ourselves; we should always let others do some work and share the tasks. This is more conducive to unity.

"Ren Fei is in charge of things in Central China, right? Please contact her there and ask her to call me back when she has time. I need to talk to her on the phone."

Zhuge Qi instructed his secretary, then added after a moment's thought, "Let's set a time, otherwise she might be free but I might not, and it's something that can't be explained away in one or two times."

There's still a lot going on in Tianjin.

I'll be staying in Tianjin for the next period of time, so I won't be very relaxed.

"Now go and call Xu San and Xu Si over; it's time to talk about Zhang Chulan."

Ma Hong responded and turned to leave the reception room.

Zhuge Qi walked back to the sofa, sat down, picked up the now-cold tea, and took a sip.

The matter concerning the Lü family has come to a temporary end.

Next, let's talk about Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

……

In the reception room of the North China branch, Zhuge Qi held a teacup, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes.

Ma Hong, Jiang Bai, and Meng Xiaoxiao stood aside, not daring to breathe.

They had just called Xu San and Xu Si over, but the section chief told them to wait a while, and then he closed his eyes to rest until now.

It's been ten minutes.

Ma Hong scratched his head and whispered to Jiang Bai, "Is the section chief asleep?"

Jiang Bai pushed up his glasses and lowered his voice: "Don't talk nonsense, shut up."

Meng Xiaoxiao stood to the side, and couldn't help but twitch her lips as she listened.

Are you two really that serious?

However, she didn't say it aloud.

Zhuge Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Go and invite Director Xu and the others in." His tone was flat, as if he had just woken up.

Ma Hong responded and turned to leave the reception room.

Zhuge Qi put down his teacup, straightened his collar, and his expression returned to its usual calm and composed state.

Xu San and Xu Si walked in.

Both of their expressions were somewhat subtle.

They had seen and remembered that Lü Ci had come to personally take people away.

For Lu Ci, one of the Ten Elders, to personally make the trip, this Zhuge Qi is even more troublesome than they imagined.

"Have a seat," Zhuge Qi said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

Xu San and Xu Si sat down.

"The matter concerning the Lü family is temporarily settled," Zhuge Qi said calmly. "Next, we should talk about what's happening in Tianjin now."

Xu San's heart tightened: "You mean...?"

"Zhang Chulan." Zhuge Qi pushed up his glasses, his gaze becoming profound. "This person is the real reason we came to Tianjin."

Xu Si's fingers trembled slightly, but his face still maintained that nonchalant expression.

"Section Chief Zhuge, we've already arranged for someone to make contact with Zhang Chulan." His tone was relaxed. "The situation is currently stable; we haven't detected any members of the Quanxing sect approaching him."

"Hmm." Zhuge Qi nodded. "Who was the person who contacted him?"

Xu Si's smile froze for a moment.

Xu San took a deep breath and continued, "She's an unofficial staff member in our North China branch, named Feng Baobao."

"She's a long-time employee of the North China branch, very capable, and quite familiar with Zhang Chulan's situation, so we arranged for her to make contact this time."

"Alright, since you think it's suitable, then let her continue to be in charge." Zhuge Qi's tone was completely calm. "However, if your people cause any more problems, then I will have no choice but to intervene."

Xu San and Xu Si exchanged a glance.

They were somewhat surprised that the other party agreed so readily; they had originally planned to continue their tai chi game for another round.

However, Feng Baobao is currently in charge of contacting Zhang Chulan, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Although Bao Bao seems a bit silly, he's actually very reliable when it comes to getting things done.

Can……

Looking at Zhuge Qi's calm and collected demeanor, as if he had everything under control, Xu Si felt inexplicably uneasy.

It seems like the other side was certain that Zhang Chulan would run into trouble.
