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

"Is it abrupt?"

Zhao Fangxu placed the pen he was holding on the table:

"I'm telling you, he's in Biyou Village right now... Does that still seem abrupt?"

...

P.S.: I beg for everything, please beg for everything. Goodnight and sweet dreams, godfathers.

Chapter 166 A Promotion on the Front Lines? My Biyou Village Has Become the Commander of Operations? (First Update)

Honestly.

If Xu Si hadn't told him that Zhou Fengliu was currently in Biyou Village, he would never have allowed Zhou Fengliu, who was on leave, to participate in the mission in Biyou Village.

He didn't want to train Zhou Fengliu to be nothing more than a killing knife for the company, like a temporary worker.

But... there's nothing I can do.

Who would have thought that Zhou Fengliu would just happen to appear in Biyou Village? Then we can only try to test Zhou Fengliu's ability to handle the overall situation.

...

Everyone was stunned by Zhao Fangxu's words.

"?"

"Chairman Zhao, what's going on?"

"You'll have to ask Xiao Si what's going on..."

Zhao Fangxu glanced at Xu Si not far away and slowly began to speak.

"..."

"what..."

As soon as Zhao Fangxu said this, several pairs of eyes turned to him, making Xu Si break out in a cold sweat.

Damn it...

Am I the target of fire?

Why are you all looking at me? It wasn't me who sent Xiao Zhou!

Xu Si was in a predicament he couldn't explain. With everyone staring at him like that, he was wide awake and could only manage a couple of awkward laughs.

...

A moment later.

The meeting regarding the handling of Biyou Village was suspended, and the heads of several regions left the meeting room, leaving only a few board members at the table.

Bi Youlong, who came from the front line, was also straightforward and asked Zhao Fangxu, who was sitting in the main seat, directly.

"Chairman Zhao, just tell us the truth, what do you want to do with this Zhou Fengliu?"

The directors present were all seasoned veterans.

Judging from Zhao Fangxu's attitude towards Zhou Fengliu's downfall of the Wang family and his current practice of temporarily involving Zhou Fengliu in the operation to gain experience, it is clear that Zhao Fangxu has high expectations for Zhou Fengliu.

Such talent, even without Zhao Fangxu's explicit statement, was clear to the board members present that it couldn't possibly be kept at the grassroots level indefinitely, but they hadn't expected Zhao Fangxu to be in such a hurry...

Seeing that several directors were looking at him, Zhao Fangxu remained silent for a few seconds, giving everyone a heads-up.

"Liao Zhong is dead, and the position of head of the South China region has been vacant. Since Xiao Zhou has worked his way up from the bottom... my idea is to let him hone his skills on the front lines and take charge of the South China region."

"..."

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed.

how to say?

In terms of strength, Zhou Fengliu is more than capable of handling the South China region of Nadutong.

However, in terms of seniority, Zhou Fengliu's promotion to regional head can definitely be described as a last-minute advancement.

In just a few months, Zhou Fengliu went from being an ordinary contract worker to a full-time employee, and now he is about to take over Liao Zhong's position as the head of the seven major regions.

This speed... from a normal person's perspective, it would be absolutely impossible without a powerful background.

Does Zhou Fengliu have a powerful background?

It exists, yet it doesn't.

Although he lacked powerful connections, Zhou Fengliu's strength was enough to command everyone's respect. It could be said that Zhou Fengliu's background was built step by step through his own efforts.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Fangxu tapped the table again, and his round-framed glasses flashed in the light.

"Everyone... I know you have concerns. Everyone has witnessed Xiao Zhou's strength. Although we don't know the specifics, through the Wang family's affairs, we know that even if his strength is not like that of the old Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, he is definitely among the top in the world of supernatural beings."

"With such strength and age, he is willing to be a junior employee at our Nadutong Company and rarely causes trouble. Based on these points alone, this young man, Xiao Zhou, is enough for us to set a precedent."

"Just imagine, if Xiao Zhou were some kind of lawless member of the Quanxing Gang, what a dilemma we would be facing..."

"Are we even here to discuss whether Xiao Zhou is suitable for a swift promotion?"

Zhao Fangxu possesses great wisdom.

Although his strength is not enough in the world of supernatural beings, his awareness is very high and his vision is long-term.

It's a great blessing that Zhou Fengliu, at his age, is an all-around employee who can disrupt the balance without going too far.

This is also why he was able to react quickly and choose to protect Zhou Fengliu after Zhou Fengliu had destroyed Wang Ai's family.

"I have no objection."

Me too...

"agree."

After Zhao Fangxu's speech, the directors present all agreed to Zhao Fangxu's arrangement to promote Zhou Fengliu on the spot, just as they had done with the Wang family last time.

Just as Zhao Fangxu said, as long as Zhou Fengliu doesn't do anything that completely tears apart the world of the supernatural and the real world, they can tolerate his minor outrageous behavior.

Zhou Fengliu can sit back and relax; everything else is fine. He's just a regional manager... becoming a board member isn't out of the question...

The change in everyone's attitude fully proves a point:

When you have the power to change the world, the world will make way for you.

...

"Alright, since everyone has no objections, after Biyou Village, we can let him take over and give it a try..."

Zhao Fangxu said this.

Despite his thoughts, it was still a long way from Zhou Fengliu being able to handle regional affairs.

To manage a region, one needs not only strength but also the ability to command and arrange internal affairs, as well as coordinate external affairs. For Zhou Fengliu, the role of regional head still requires further development.

...

Following the conclusion of the Nadutong high-level meeting.

Zhao Fangxu personally called Zhou Fengliu and spoke with him in his capacity as a director.

At this moment, inside Biyou Village.

Zhou Fengliu had just gotten a free meal from Fu Rong when he heard a cell phone ring. He took out his own phone, which was far ahead of the others, and glanced at it.

It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's voice on the phone, Zhao Fangxu calmly said, "Little Zhou, this is Zhao Fangxu..."

"General Manager Zhao? Wow, is the boss really that concerned about me? I'm on vacation and I still get a call from him."

"Your suspension will be suspended for two days. I know you're in Biyou Village right now; Xiao Si has already reported it to me..." Zhao Fangxu paused for a second in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the headquarters building before continuing:

"Now, on behalf of the board of directors, I am officially giving you this task..."

"Operation Biyou Village: You will be in charge of commanding all temporary workers in the six districts. The mission is to destroy Biyou Village and the Cultivation Furnace, and capture Chen Duo and other high-level cultivators. The operation should focus on captures as much as possible. If you encounter any stubborn resistance, you may kill them."

"I'll take responsibility?"

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's arrangement on the other end of the phone, Zhou Fengliu, who was strolling in Biyou Village, was taken aback.

He originally came here as a tourist... how did he suddenly become the person in charge of the operation?

"Is there a problem?" Zhao Fangxu asked over the phone.

“The problem is…” Zhou Fengliu snapped out of his reverie upon hearing the voice, stroking his chin as if deep in thought.

"Yes... Ask any questions as soon as possible. Once the operation begins, I hope you can live up to my expectations and complete this mission perfectly."

"Mr. Zhao... I do have a question. I'd like to ask if suddenly returning to work while on leave counts as overtime at your company? Does the company reimburse overtime pay?"

Chapter 167 Old Qing, oh Old Qing! Don't blame me for slapping you, it's all for your own good! (Second Update)

"???"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhao Fangxu, who had played mind games with countless old foxes on the other end of the phone, was a little taken aback.

He had considered that Zhou Fengliu might ask questions like, "Why me? I might not be able to do it. This arrangement by the company is too sudden." But he never expected that Zhou Fengliu's only question would be like this.

Does this count as overtime?

Do you pay overtime?

Is this the thought process of today's young people?

Zhao Fangxu touched his drooping face, unable to understand the thinking of young people these days.

Could it be that there really is a generation gap?

"You'll definitely get good treatment, as long as you complete the Biyou Village operation well... that will be a major achievement for you in the company," Zhao Fangxu said.

"Understood, Mr. Zhao."

Upon hearing that it was considered overtime, Zhou Fengliu nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, you can ask Xiao Si or those temporary workers for the specific information."
