Under One Person: The End of Technique, Company Building

"What do you mean?" Old Zhou asked, somewhat puzzled, as he was momentarily confused by Zhuge Qi's words.

"A young man who ascended to the position of Celestial Master amidst controversy through pre-arranged appointments and support, and a peerless master whose reputation in the world of supernatural beings commands widespread influence—who do you think is more in the company's best interest?" Zhuge Qi asked with a smile.

Old Zhou was taken aback, then seemed to be deep in thought.

"Longhu Mountain has always been a benchmark in the world of supernatural beings. Besides being the original leader of the Zhengyi Daoist Temple, the strength of the Old Celestial Master is also the biggest influencing factor."

Zhuge Qi explained slowly, "A person with such exceptional talent is unmatched and no one can restrain them. Such a person has always been the company's biggest headache. If they were to commit a serious offense, dealing with them would involve dealing with a huge clan."

When an individual's power overrides order, it leads to the abuse of power by those who use force, causing a huge impact on overall stability.

The biggest problem is the old master's strength.

Even if a superhuman is strong, he can't withstand guns and cannons. But does that mean it's really impossible to bombard Longhu Mountain with guns and cannons?

Although he knew that Zhang Chulan was not incompetent, but rather a more cunning fellow, even if the company supported him to rise to the top, it would not get the desired result.

But you should always have dreams.

If we really support someone like that to rise to the top, the company will probably be able to completely solve the problems in the world of supernatural beings in less than ten years.

"Fortunately, the old Celestial Master is a man of vision. It's fortunate that the current top expert is such a person." Old Zhou agreed wholeheartedly after hearing the other party's account and secretly rejoiced.

The company's smooth operation over the years has indeed been largely due to the tacit approval and cooperation of the Old Master.

If he had objected, the company would undoubtedly have faced tremendous resistance and opposition in many matters, and things would never have gone so smoothly as they have now.

Zhuge Qi simply smiled and remained silent.

As the car entered the city, Lao Zhou slowed down. "Section Chief, shall we head straight back to headquarters, or find a place to eat first?"

"Let's go back to headquarters first," Zhuge Qi said. "Let's put the things down first, and then I'll go see General Manager Zhao."

"Alright."

The car drove through several familiar streets and finally stopped in front of a gray office building.

Zhuge Qi got out of the car, stood downstairs and looked up. The sunlight shone on the glass curtain wall, reflecting a bright white light.

He exhaled and walked through the door with his briefcase.

The lobby was the same as always. The receptionist was on the phone. When she saw him come in, she paused for a moment, then quickly covered the microphone, nodded at him, and mouthed, "Hello, Section Chief."

Zhuge Qi returned her a smile and walked straight to the elevator.

As the elevator stopped and the doors slid open, Zhuge Qi had just stepped out when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the end of the corridor.

"Section Chief! You're back!"

Xiao Li jogged over carrying a folder, her ponytail swinging behind her head, her face flushed slightly from the sun.

She ran up to Zhuge Qi, took a breath, and then began to report rapidly: "Everything was normal in the department while you were gone. General Manager Zhao said that you should go see him first after you come back."

Old Zhou has already cleaned your office. There are three documents on the desk that need your signature: one is the progress report on the supervision of the Lü family forwarded by the Central China branch, one is the quarterly budget adjustment application from the North China branch, and the other is—”

"Okay, I understand." Zhuge Qi pushed open the door. "Please tell President Zhao that I'll leave something and then head over."

"Okay!" Xiao Li replied, then turned and jogged back.

Zhuge Qi walked behind his desk, placed his briefcase on the chair, and stood up to look around.

There were indeed three documents on the table. The top one was the Lü family's supervision progress report. He picked it up and flipped through it, finding that Ren Fei from the Central China branch had done a very meticulous job, with clear and standardized records for each supervision point.

Clearly, these were things that weren't urgent to deal with, but were still very important, and Lao Zhou didn't handle them for himself.

He then checked everything, turned around and left the office, heading towards Zhao Fangxu's office at the other end of the corridor.

Zhuge Qi stopped in front of the door and knocked three times.

"Enter."

He pushed the door open and went in.

Zhao Fangxu sat behind his desk, holding a document in his hand, his reading glasses perched on his nose. When he saw Zhuge Qi enter, he put the document down.

He took off his glasses and put them on the table, leaned back in his chair, and looked Zhuge Qi up and down.

Then Zhao Fangxu smiled.

"You're back?"

Zhuge Qi sat down opposite him, placing his hands respectfully on his knees. "President Zhao, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Fangxu waved his hand, "Who asked you to do things for me?"

The two chatted briefly about some trivial matters.

They only started talking about serious matters after they had finished chatting for a while.

Zhao Fangxu picked up another document from the table and pushed it across the surface: "Take a look at this first."

Zhuge Qi took it, opened the cover, and inside were several pages of a plan summary printed on A4 paper, titled "Preliminary Opinions of Na Du Tong Headquarters on Work Arrangements During the Longhushan Luotian Grand Ritual".

He flipped through the pages, his brow twitching slightly, but he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he carefully read through each page before looking up at Zhao Fangxu.

"The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is a major event in the world of supernatural beings. The Ten Elders will all send people to attend. As the management body for supernatural beings, the company cannot be absent. The East China branch is mainly responsible for this part, but the headquarters will also send people."

Zhuge Qi had anticipated this and was fully prepared. "I have already spoken with my family, and they will give me some manpower to help."

"That would be best." Zhao Fangxu was very satisfied with this answer.

After all, the company couldn't send too many people to Longhu Mountain, but too few would be easy to lose control, so the only option was to use the Zhuge family's influence to recruit more people.

Zhuge Qi has absolute authority over the family, so there shouldn't be any major problems with him leading the Zhuge family members.

"Keep an eye on the situation, keep an eye on all parties, and keep an eye on Zhang Chulan. We can't let anything go wrong. Now that you're back, this job is in your hands."

"Understood." Zhuge Qi had already made plans.

The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony will officially begin on the 10th of next month, but it will take at least a week to go there in advance for coordination and venue setup, so the headquarters observation team must depart no later than the 24th.

The administrative office can just send a few people to follow along.

Xiao Li, who is in charge of administration, must go along, and Ma Hong also needs to come along. If we bring Liu Yanyan and Feng Baobao, that will be enough.

"By the way, the company also needs to send someone to participate in the competition to protect Zhang Chulan. Originally, it was Feng Baobao who was supposed to participate."

"Then let's go with Feng Baobao." Zhuge Qi didn't care about that, since he was going to bring her along anyway.

Keep the personnel in place to avoid any unforeseen changes.

He couldn't possibly get involved himself; that would be too undignified. He didn't have Zhang Chulan's thick skin.
