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

After the dramatic operation... Zhao Fangxu confronted Zhang Chulan and talked about Feng Baobao.

As the chairman of Nadutong, Zhao Fangxu already knew about Feng Baobao's secret back when Xu Xiang was still in charge of North China.

He just hadn't told anyone.

...

After listening to Zhang Chulan's story, Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses, paused for two seconds, and then looked at Zhang Chulan and said:

"Chu Lan, you did the right thing. If you have any difficulties, come to the company..."

“That bastard Yuan Tao, he’s only been quiet for a short while… and he’s already looking for trouble again. Do you even remember how the Quanxing sect found you?”

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's question, Zhang Chulan nodded and then answered:

“I remember, Fourth Brother told me that a Quanxing undercover agent had infiltrated the company... This year, this undercover agent stole my grandfather’s file.”

"Although Master Xu later exposed this person, Quanxing still had its eye on me... After that, they spread rumors about the Qi Body Source lineage and stirred up trouble. Now the whole circle has noticed me."

Zhang Chulan got angrier and angrier as he spoke.

He had originally planned to live an ordinary life as a normal person. If Quanxing hadn't forcibly revealed his identity, his peaceful life wouldn't have ended up in this state.

"Chu Lan, you're right. The Quanxing group found out the cause of your grandfather's death through that file. Not only that, we reconstructed the route of your grandfather's journey."

Zhao Fangxu paused for a moment and then continued:

"If you connect this journey into a line, your grandfather's first stop was the Tang Clan."

"So you need to think it over... The company won't interfere with your personal decisions. If you decide to go, given your past relationship with them, I have to give you a few words of advice."

"From the company's inception to its current development, Tangmen has never cooperated with the company, not even once... Tangmen has had its share of troubles in the past, but no matter how heavy the losses were, they refused to let the company get involved."

"According to them, the Tang Clan also has its pride..."

"That's absolutely true. From the War of Resistance against Japan to today, the Tang Clan has lived up to its reputation as a prestigious sect. They are very disciplined in their dealings... That's why the company has always been very careful in handling their affairs."

At this point, Zhao Fangxu fell silent for a few seconds.

how to say?

From the perspective of the company's overall interests, the company actually wants to establish a deep connection with Tangmen.

Whether considering the historical contributions of the Tang Clan or its Qi poison, mechanical arts, and hidden weapons, there is no doubt that its leader is qualified to be one of the Ten Elders.

But the Tang Clan, a major sect, has its own ideas.

They don't cross Na Du Tong's bottom line and follow the rules, but if you ask them to accept Na Du Tong's assistance, sorry, the Tang Clan's affairs are their responsibility.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fangxu suddenly remembered the phone call he had made a few days ago with Tang Miaoxing, the current leader of the Tang Clan, as was customary.

Although the relationship between Tangmen and Nadutong is delicate, Tangmen is a prestigious sect in the southwest, while Nadutong represents the official authority in the world of supernatural beings in a certain sense.

As the wheels of time roll ever forward, after the company negotiated the partial removal of Tang Clan's mechanical arts, Tang Clan would have a remote call with him every year.

The content of the calls is pretty much the same every year: asking about recent events, the development of the Tang Clan, and whether they need any help, etc.

Although this year's phone call didn't have much content, and Tang Miaoxing didn't say anything particularly insightful, the shrewd old fox still picked up on some other meaning.

He had a feeling that Tang Miaoxing seemed somewhat interested in the company's attitude towards the Jia Shen Rebellion this year...

...

"Chu Lan, I have no objection to you going, but you must go in your own name," Zhao Fangxu said to Zhang Chu Lan after a moment of silence.

His meaning was clear: given the delicate relationship between Tangmen and the company, the company didn't want to remain uninvolved in this matter from a strategic perspective...

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan was stunned.

what?

Can't we intervene in the name of a company?

What is he doing at headquarters?

He came to headquarters to talk to Zhao Fangxu about this matter, requesting the company's help.

Since his near-annihilation experience during the last horse-catching operation, he has become more cautious, which is why he came to headquarters to request the company's help.

“President Zhao, I’ve shed blood for the company, I’ve been injured for the company… You can’t treat me like this.”

Zhang Chulan looked extremely pitiful at this moment; if he could, he would even want to cling to Zhao Fangxu's leg and beg for help.

"Chu Lan, you're still too young. That's what I'm saying, but how to actually do it is another matter... You could find some companions to go to the Tang Sect with you."

Zhao Fangxu said that some things need to be understood clearly, and that one should hear the unspoken meaning.

Chapter 259 Eating hotpot and singing songs... (Second update)

"Mr. Zhao, your words are enough. So... could you send Zhou Fengliu over to help me?"

After hearing Zhao Fangxu's clear explanation, Zhang Chulan finally revealed the true purpose of his trip.

Yes.

He wanted Zhou Fengliu.

With Zhou Fengliu accompanying him to the Tang Sect, even if his actions really went awry, he could still save his life with his "Lotus Circling Around" technique.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Xu San and Xu Si, who had come along with him, were also somewhat dumbfounded. Their expressions were the same as Zhao Fangxu's, filled with shock.

"No... Chu Lan, you're asking me to take away the head of my South China region... What are you trying to do?"

A regional manager from South China traveled to Tangmen in the Southwest...

Those who know the situation might think it's a personal favor, but those who don't might think the company is pulling a surprise attack on the Tang Sect!

Regarding Zhang Chulan's thoughts, Xu Si, who was standing to the side, could only say:

Big Fool Lan! What are you doing?!

...

Faced with the three people's shock, Zhang Chulan sighed, then said with a mournful face:

"President Zhao, as you know... I almost lost my life a while ago. If it weren't for Zhou Fengliu, I probably wouldn't be seeing you now... I'm wondering what if someone tries to kill me during this trip to the Tang Clan?"

"After much thought, the only person who could save my life and with whom I have some connection is Zhou Fengliu..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Zhao Fangxu frowned: "Then go and talk to Xiao Zhou, why are you telling me?"

"Well..."

Zhang Chulan became a little embarrassed when he said this.

It's important to understand that Zhou Fengliu isn't someone who can be helped easily; the biggest motivation for wanting Qian Jushi to help is money...

Zhang Chulan himself was just a penniless employee. If it weren't for Feng Baobao, he wouldn't have been able to afford Zhou Fengliu when he went to the Twenty-Four Festivals Valley.

Not to mention that Zhou Fengliu is now the head of the South China region... his appearance fee has definitely skyrocketed, and he simply can't afford it.

So he came up with an alternative approach.

Ask Zhao Fangxu for help... and have Zhou Fengliu support him in the name of the company.

If Zhou Fengliu really does pay, it will definitely be the company that pays, not him.

Check it out.

Zhang Bilian, the leader of the Thirty-Six Sun Thieves, how clever was her little scheme?

He's grown up to be cunning and shrewd.

Zhang Chulan was embarrassed for a few seconds before finally speaking:

"I just thought that our General Manager Zhao's words would definitely carry weight..."

"As long as you send him in the company's name, and I handle the communication with the Tang Sect in my personal capacity... that way, it won't be considered entering the Tang Sect under the company's name..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Xu San and Xu Si exchanged glances.

Good guy.

Are you just exploiting a bug?

"Let's put aside the question of whether my words have any weight for now. First, you have to tell me... what will the company gain by sending Xiao Zhou?" Zhao Fangxu asked.

"This is a golden opportunity to strike at Quanxing! President Zhao, if Quanxing really shows up, with Zhou Fengliu directing the operation and joining forces with Tangmen... isn't this exactly what the company can get?"

Zhang Chulan answered.

"Besides... this is also a valuable experience for Zhou Fengliu in command. He hasn't been in charge of South China for long... his personnel arrangements are probably not going smoothly, which is not conducive to his work in South China. This is a good opportunity for him to gain experience..."

"???"

Upon hearing Zhang Chulan's words, Zhao Fangxu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is Zhou Fengliu lacking in practical command experience? Or is he having trouble appointing personnel?

what?

Is this referring to Zhou Fengliu?

If he hadn't seen the reports from South China during this period, he would have actually believed what Zhang Chulan said.

From the east to the west of South China, Zhou Fengliu has been relentlessly attacking the Guangdong and Guangxi regions and the Qiongzhou area.

Is your work not going smoothly?

This couldn't be smoother!

...

"Chu Lan, you're wrong about that. Xiao Zhou is doing incredibly well in South China, building a huge business and creating even greater success..."

Before Zhao Fangxu could say anything, Xu Si told Zhang Chulan about the recent major developments in the South China supernatural community...

Since Zhou Fengliu took office in South China, he has been quite concerned about news from South China. He was originally worried that Zhou Fengliu's work would not go smoothly and that he would be bullied.

Unexpectedly, the news he'd been following this past month had been quite a treat... Zhou Fengliu's actions were getting bigger and bigger with each wave...
