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

Zhao Fangxu swallowed hard and asked tentatively, somewhat incredulously.

"Are you serious?"

In response to Zhao Fangxu's question, Zhou Fengliu gave a very affirmative answer:

"Of course, leader... I think this operation, at its core, stems from historical issues. The problem of not eradicating the root cause allowed the Biheren to spring up again in the Northeast region..."

"Internal audits are certainly important, but addressing the root causes is equally crucial..."

"I've already asked Chairman Ishikawa of the Fish Dragon Society, and it turns out that the extreme war criminals in Sakura Country, including the ninja organization Hieiyama, have also made a comeback in Sakura Country and are growing in strength..."

"If we don't nip it in the bud... who knows if they'll infiltrate China again and do some more dirty work..."

To be honest, Zhao Fangxu was a little frightened by Zhou Fengliu's idea after hearing his explanation.

If this goes wrong... it could very well lead to a new war between the two nations' superhumans, posing a challenge to peace among superhumans worldwide...

“Xiao Zhou, what you said makes sense, but we can’t escalate the conflict first... that’s what the higher-ups don’t want to see.”

After considering it, Zhao Fangxu offered Zhou Fengliu some words of advice.

"Mr. Zhao, we weren't the ones who escalated the conflict first. It was clearly Biheshan who started it all; we could only react defensively..."

"Besides, if we don't retaliate, wouldn't we be fueling the flames of arrogance among those extreme war criminals in Japan?"

"This time it was a terrorist attack by Higanbana ninja; next time it could be a suicide bombing..."

"Instead of waiting for them to come, we should take the initiative. As the great man said, 'A single punch can prevent a hundred punches...'"

"You said before, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth..."

"We must take this opportunity to once again intimidate the supernatural world of Japan."

...

"A single punch can prevent a hundred more..."

After listening to Zhou Fengliu's explanation, Zhao Fangxu, who had just been advising Zhou Fengliu, now had to seriously consider the feasibility of the matter.

From the perspective Zhou Fengliu just mentioned, the exposure of Biheren in Shenzhou this time has indeed given them an opportunity.

An opportunity... where there is a legitimate reason to act.

...

"What... do you plan to do? Let me give you a heads-up: a large-scale influx of supernatural beings is not allowed."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fangxu seemed to have made some mental preparations, and thus spoke up to remind him.

"I only need a few people... I don't need too many. As for how I'll do it..."

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's plan, Zhao Fangxu understood the situation at the headquarters of Na Du Tong.

Zhou Fengliu's idea didn't just suddenly come to him... at least it had been taking shape after the assassination attempt.

"Xiao Zhou, this matter has a bigger impact. Give me a few days, and I will report it to the higher-ups."

"If the higher-ups agree, then go ahead and do it. If they don't agree... then do it secretly. I'll take responsibility. If things come to light, just say that I ordered you to do it."

Zhao Fangxu has already made up his mind.

From his personal perspective... at his age, he wouldn't be able to stay in this position for many more years anyway, so he might as well pull off this brilliant move.

If he succeeds, he will be remembered in the history of the supernatural world, and he will retire to the second line.

If he fails, and the higher-ups hold him accountable, he can conveniently step down and hand over his position to Zhou Fengliu, whom he has mentored...

He was willing to support Zhou Fengliu's operation for the rest of his life; he refused to believe that Zhou Fengliu would abandon his old leader after taking over his position...

From the company's perspective, Bihe Mountain has indeed jeopardized the bridge between the domestic supernatural beings and the real world, especially after this terrorist attack...

If no measures are taken to counter the sanctions against Bihe Mountain, it will affect the official credibility of Nadutong in the world of supernatural beings.

It can be said that counter-sanctions are necessary for both individuals and companies.

As for why he needed to consult his superiors on such an action that was so flawless, it was entirely due to his own prudence and his understanding of Zhou Fengliu.

He feared the situation would escalate, and that Zhou Fengliu would use Qi to control missiles...

...

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu responded with a sentence:

"can."

"Xiao Zhou, I won't say much else. I trust you to do things properly. But you also need to pay attention to the internal inspection in the Northeast region. Do it well; it will greatly help your future development."

Zhao Fangxu said this.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was talking to Zhao Fangxu, Zhang Chulan, Ishikawa Shin, and others also came over.

After Zhou Fengliu hung up the phone, Zhang Chulan finally spoke:

"Brother Liu, there's something we can't decide about, so we've come to you for advice..."

"What is it?" Zhou Fengliu asked, somewhat puzzled.

A moment later.

After listening to Zhang Chulan and Ishikawa Shin's description, Zhou Fengliu roughly understood why Feng Baobao had been able to pick up the demon sword Hirumaru so easily without being affected.

"So, Chairman Ishikawa wants to invite Bao'er to the Ishikawa family home for a sword-testing session?"

“Yes, Mr. Jay Chou.” Shin Ishikawa nodded seriously.

"Then ask Bao'er, why are you asking me?"

Zhou Fengliu felt that Zhang Chulan and the others were acting a bit strangely.

Why did Shin Ishikawa invite Feng Baobao to his home without asking for her opinion first?

Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Chulan, who had expected Zhou Fengliu to help him decline, almost bit his tongue.

Seeing that he hurriedly came to Zhou Fengliu's side and said:

"Well, Brother Liu... we're too busy with company affairs to make decisions for Sister Bao'er."

Seeing Zhang Chulan's winking and suggestive gestures, Zhou Fengliu had no time to concern himself with the matter.

After all, he's currently busy preparing for both the internal investigation of the Northeast region and dismantling the Hieiyama organization in Japan soon...

Therefore, he called Zhao Fangxu again, intending to ask Zhao Fangxu to give them a judgment.

...

On the other side, at the headquarters of NaDuTong.

Zhao Fangxu, who had just hung up the phone, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the headquarters of Nadutong.

Gazing at the setting sun in the distance, a look of wistfulness appeared in his eyes behind his round-framed glasses...

It's truly a case of the new generation surpassing the old... each wave stronger than the last.

Being young, Zhou Fengliu's potential is definitely much higher than his...

He was just reminiscing when Zhou Fengliu called again.

"?"

He was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Fengliu's call.

Could something have happened again?

Chapter 515 Guaranteed Win, Bro! (Second Update)

Zhao Fangxu answered the phone with some doubt. After hearing Zhou Fengliu's purpose, he also started a conversation with Ishikawa Shin.

After a thorough discussion with Shin Ishikawa, he said into the phone:

"I understand. You want one of our people to replace you as the sword-offering person for the Ishikawa family's 'Sword Trial' this time, because that person has the ability to put down the demonic sword at any time without any burden..."

"So even if we fail to break the sword, we can just release the demonic sword without any additional losses, right?"

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's question, Ishikawa Shin answered with certainty:

“That’s right, Mr. Zhao. As the head of the Ishikawa family and the president of the Fish Dragon Society, I guarantee you that the safety of your personnel will be the top priority throughout the entire trial meeting…”

"Please, Zhao!"

Ishikawa Shin spoke with great sincerity.

If Zhao Fangxu were in front of him now, he would definitely choose to kneel down to express his sincerity.

Faced with Ishikawa Shin's sincere request, Zhao Fangxu would have refused a few minutes earlier.

He had no objection to Feng Baobao breaking the sword, but he would definitely place it in China.

But after his conversation with Zhou Fengliu, he changed his mind.

If we take this opportunity to let Zhang Chulan and the others land in Sakura Country... it should be able to better coordinate with Xiao Zhou's operation, right?

Zhao Fangxu stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

"Alright, since Chairman Ishikawa has said so, I have no objection. I agree, but not now. You can discuss the specific time with Chairman Zhou."

"He will represent us at Nadutong to witness your broken sword test."

"?"

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words, Ishikawa Shin looked at Zhou Fengliu, who was not far away.

Is Jay Chou also coming to Japan?

I don't know why...

Upon hearing the news, his right eyelid twitched involuntarily twice.

An ominous premonition seemed to hang over his mind...

"Thank you, Zhao."

Although I had a bad feeling, it was still necessary to say thank you.

After hanging up the phone, Ishikawa Shin relayed Zhao Fangxu's agreement to Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.
