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

"Xiao Zhou, if that's what you think, then I'm relieved."

"I'll talk to Hao Yi in advance... You should get ready and set off in the next few days, as long as it doesn't disrupt the normal operations of the South China region."

"Got it."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Fengliu put down the phone, and Chen Duo and Zhang Lingyu both stared at him.

"Is there a mission?" Zhang Lingyu asked when Zhou Fengliu didn't speak.

"Hmm... I'll go to the Tang Clan."

"Tang Clan?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu mention the Tang Clan, Zhang Lingyu was somewhat surprised: "Isn't the Tang Clan in the Southwest Region? What are we going there for?"

"There might be some changes at Tang Sect. The company asked me to go and take a look."

Zhou Fengliu wiped his mouth, then glanced at Zhang Lingyu and Chen Duo, who was standing to the side with an expectant look on her face.

"Which of you... wants to come with me?"

"I'll go with you."

Before Chen Duo could speak, Zhang Lingyu spoke first.

"..."

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu had taken the lead, Chen Duo, who had been itching to act, was now just waiting to be caught off guard.

Seeing that she was holding her bowl and chopsticks without saying anything, she just continued eating the food in the pot.

"You want to go..."

Zhou Fengliu looked at Zhang Lingyu, then turned his gaze to Chen Duo and said:

"Alright, since Master Ayu has said so... then Duozi, you come with me."

Chapter 261 The Tang Sect Needs a Revolution! (Second Update)

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Lingyu, who had thought she would go, was taken aback.

"what?"

"What do you mean 'ah'? You're staying to watch the house, but you can't expect Duozi to watch the house, can you? In the end, South China can't do without our Master Ayu."

Zhou Fengliu made these arrangements.

Faced with this decision, Zhang Lingyu looked at Chen Duo in front of him and then agreed with Zhou Fengliu's decision.

indeed.

South China needs someone to keep watch and oversee things.

"Duozi, do you have any objections?" Zhou Fengliu asked Chen Duo.

"I...have only one question."

Listening to Chen Duo's words, Zhou Fengliu could guess what this guy wanted to ask even with his toes.

"There's a task-based allowance..."

“Then I’ll go,” Chen Duo said, having gotten the answer she wanted.

“…” Zhang Lingyu.

An unspoken understanding that requires no further questions...

Zhou Fengliu had already anticipated Chen Duo's problem.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was deploying troops in South China, Zhao Fangxu had just hung up the phone at the headquarters of Nadutong in Beijing.

He was in a very good mood after talking to Zhou Fengliu.

Zhou Fengliu's change in attitude made him find Zhou Fengliu very interesting, somewhat like Zhang Chulan.

Young people these days...

This is one of the most tactful and smooth-talking people ever.

Zhang Chulan doesn't seem to have much strength...

Zhou Fengliu was the same.

Whether you try a soft approach or a hard one, they're fearless, and sometimes they can even use a strategy of starting hard and then softening...

I have no idea what their routine is.

If Zhou Fengliu refused based on the phone call just now, there's not much he can do...

Surprisingly, they actually agreed.

This road has really widened...

That's what Zhao Fangxu was thinking.

He felt that it would be a waste of talent to put an employee as capable, sensible, competent, and conscientious as Zhou Fengliu in charge of the South China region.

You get what you want effortlessly within the rules... and the best part is, you feel pretty comfortable with it.

Who could stand that?

From the company's perspective, Zhou Fengliu's recent actions to establish authority in the South China region are completely acceptable, and even encouraged.

Previously, the government had been too generous with incentives, which made some people in the local regions lose sight of who they were. This sudden shift to a tough approach has actually helped the local regions to better engage with grassroots organizations.

From this perspective, even if Zhou Fengliu did engage in some acts of confiscating property, he could turn a blind eye.

Thinking about this, Zhao Fangxu grew increasingly fond of the young man, Zhou Fengliu.

This affection stems not only from Zhou Fengliu's strength, but also from his ability to navigate the rules with ease and his sense of propriety.

...

Tangmen.

This is a very mysterious school in the world of supernatural beings. It was founded so long ago that even members of the Tang Clan can't quite remember it.

The original members of the Tang Clan all shared the surname Tang, making it more like a clan than a sect.

It wasn't until more than four hundred years ago that the Tang Clan broke its rule of only accepting people with the surname Tang. Since then, the Tang Clan has truly developed into a major force that cannot be ignored in the world of supernatural beings.

It was after this point in time that the Tang Clan split into inner and outer sects. The inner sect consisted entirely of members with the surname Tang, while the outer sect consisted of members with different surnames.

Based on this distinction between inner and outer sects, the inner sect should undoubtedly be the core of the Tang Sect.

Indeed, this is true; the Tang Clan's ultimate technique, "Dan Shi," can only be practiced by the elite members of the inner sect.

However, judging from the few non-family leaders in the last hundred years, as well as Yang Lie, who, despite being a non-family leader, also possessed the Dan Shi skill, the inner and outer sect system has become virtually non-existent.

The decline of the Tang Clan in recent years, besides the lack of talent, is mainly due to the fact that living in this peaceful era has left this assassin sect without a clear target.

The new generation lacks practical experience, while the older generation is aging. Against this backdrop, the Tang Sect needs to make some changes.

And the Tang Clan has indeed made certain changes with the progress of the times.

The biggest change was that it became more formalized and the Tangmen Martial Arts School was established.

However, this change still did not address the core of Tang Sect's biggest problem.

What do they need most for the revival of the Tang Clan?

This is probably a question that the leaders of the Tang Clan in modern times have been pondering.

...

The Tang Clan needs a revolution...

Inside the Tang Clan Martial Arts School.

Tang Miaoxing, the current leader of the Tang Clan, stood in the teaching building of the old campus, looking at the night sky in the distance. This was his answer to the revival of the Tang Clan.

If the Tang Clan is to rise to prominence, it absolutely cannot continue to be so conservative.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the phone in his left hand.

Just now... he received a call from Zhao Fangxu of Nadutong, informing him that Zhang Chulan was coming to visit the Tang Sect in his personal capacity.

Why would Zhao Fangxu, the chairman of All-Knowing, need to personally call the Tang Clan if I were to visit them in my personal capacity?

Tang Miaoxing did not believe this reason.

Rather than simply informing them.

He believed that during his routine phone call with Zhao Fangxu a few days ago, Zhao Fangxu noticed something and sent someone over to check.

...

"Senior brother... what are you doing here so late instead of sleeping?"

Just as Tang Miaoxing was lost in thought, an elderly man who also looked quite old walked over.

This old man was Zhang Wang, the junior brother of Tang Miaoxing and the head of the outer sect of the Tang Clan.

Currently, within the Tang Clan, he, Tang Miaoxing, and an elderly man named Tang Qiushan have the greatest influence.

Among them, Tang Miaoxing, as the sect leader, had the most say, followed by him, while Tang Qiushan was more of a peacemaker, mediating when he and Tang Miaoxing had a dispute.

...

"Ah...it's nothing. I just got a phone call. It's from Zhao Fangxu."

"What did he say?" Zhang Wang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Zhang Chulan is coming. He said he's coming to visit us in his personal capacity. Zhao Fangxu called me specifically to let me know."

"?"

Hearing Tang Miaoxing's words, Zhang Wang raised an eyebrow.

"For someone to personally call and inform you in their personal capacity? That shows how much influence Zhang Chulan has."
