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

Some people think it's a good thing that the demon sword was broken, and they don't care whether the person who broke the demon sword is a citizen of their own country.

A larger group of people, however, believe that Ishikawa Shin's act of having the director of Shinshu Natoto break the demon sword Hiruma was an act of treason.

It was clearly a demonic sword belonging to our own country, and even though it had returned to our territory, it was still broken by outsiders...

how?

Is it possible that there are no more supernatural beings in Japan?

If the Ishikawa family really can't sever the demonic sword, then why not return it to Mount Hiei?

Such voices condemning the leader of the "Fish and Dragon Society" rose and fell on online forums, growing stronger and stronger, as if driven by an invisible hand.

Amidst this massive wave of condemnation, several more valuable questions have sparked further discussion:

Is Ishikawa Shin, the president of the Fish and Dragon Society, truly capable of fulfilling his duties?

Should we allow a traitor to become the leader of our supernatural world?

The deliberate push, coupled with the fermentation of public opinion, has led more uninformed Sakura supernatural beings to join the discussion, and Ishikawa Shin, at the center of the vortex, must be suffering quite a bit.

Nobuya Ishikawa knew this was a form of public retaliation from Hieiyama, but... what could he possibly say or explain?

Rather than speaking out, not explaining is the best explanation.

Instead of proving you have no problems, let those who say you have problems prove you do...

...

Watching the sunset over the mountains, Ishikawa Shin sat on the wooden floor of the Ishikawa family home and sighed, "The sunset is so beautiful."

"President Ishikawa...you must be having a lot of troubles these past few days?"

Just as Ishikawa Ken was admiring the sunset, Zhou Fengliu's voice came from behind Ishikawa Shin.

The sound made Ishikawa Ken stand up. He turned to look at Zhou Fengliu and addressed him as "Chairman Zhou..." before answering his earlier question:

"Actually, there's nothing to worry about. It's just some rumors. Rumors stop with the wise..."

Faced with Ishikawa Shin's composure, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and calmly replied:

"Unfortunately, wise people are always in the minority; most people believe what they hear but not what they see..."

"So? Do you regret it?"

"Regret? Regret what?"

"Was that press conference a few days ago too high-profile?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Ishikawa Shin shook his head and then said:

"Jay Chou thinks it's flamboyant? Isn't this exactly the effect Jay Chou wants to see?"

"If I don't make a fuss, then Biheshan wouldn't be so arrogant."

Faced with Ishikawa Shin's explanation, Zhou Fengliu paused for a moment, then continued:

"That's slander! I never told you to show your face..."

"Um..."

Ishikawa Shin paused for two seconds upon hearing this, then replied:

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Jay Chou didn't say anything. I just took it upon myself to do it."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Fengliu also gave Ishikawa Shin a blank look.

Obviously.

Ishikawa Shin was already prepared to go all in.

The so-called all-in strategy is a kind of wisdom. The Ishikawa family can't stand the growth of the Hieiyama organization in the country, but they can't solve this problem, so... they have to think of other ways to solve it.

The breaking of the demon sword Hirumaru presents a perfect opportunity. Zhou Fengliu possesses the strength, ability, and status... he is fully capable of cooperating with the Ishikawa family to jointly target the Hieiyama organization...

Although Ishikawa Shin had this idea, he couldn't figure out the attitude of this director of Natoto, so he simply probed little by little.

After sensing that Zhou Fengliu truly intended this, he decisively went all in...

By gambling with the Ishikawa family's reputation, he made a high-profile announcement that the demon sword had been broken by a director of Shenzhou Nadutong, drawing Hiaiyama's main attention to him...

Shin Ishikawa had only one idea: to defeat magic with magic.

Since Hieiyama was able to act as America's lackey more than thirty years ago, thereby changing the environment of the Sakura supernatural world, then why couldn't Ishikawa Shinya completely align himself with China...?

Whether he's a traitor or a sellout, the Ishikawa family's destiny has been fulfilled, the demon sword has been severed, and Ishikawa Shin can now wholeheartedly stand as the chairman of the Fish-Dragon Society and examine the situation of the entire Sakura Country's supernatural world.

His statement, "I will follow Jay Chou's lead," was definitely not just empty talk.

This high-profile appearance is a pledge of allegiance.

...

Neither of them spoke, and after a few seconds of silence, Zhou Fengliu broke the silence first.

"It's clear that Chairman Ishikawa is genuinely planning to establish a deep partnership with Nadutong."

A deep collaboration is quite intriguing.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Ishikawa Shin smiled:

"Does your side not have this intention? I think it must, otherwise you wouldn't have sent you to the Sakura Country."

Ishikawa Shin wasn't stupid. Why would Zhou Fengliu, such a high-ranking director, be parachuted into Japan just to supervise their Sword Trial?

That would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Since we are cooperating, we should adopt a cooperative attitude. We will definitely cooperate with Jay Chou's actions in Japan."

Ishikawa Shin has made his point very clear.

The gist is: Jay Chou, go ahead and have your fun, but if you get into trouble, I'll make sure you get back to China...

After listening to Ishikawa Shin's words, Zhou Fengliu nodded, and then, taking advantage of the situation, began to discuss terms with Ishikawa Shin:

"Nothing can be hidden from Chairman Ishikawa. That's right, headquarters sent me here this time to discuss cooperation. We plan to establish an overseas branch of NaTok in Japan..."

"The higher-ups have asked me to choose a location..."

Chapter 537 Building a branch in Sakura? If Kou can go, so can I! (Second Update)

"?"

All-in-One Overseas Branches

Is this setting up a branch office? Or just planting a flag?

Zhou Fengliu's words were already quite presumptuous.

The last time Nathan was planning to establish an overseas branch, it was on Nathan Island. Now, the entire Nathan Island is basically under Nathan's sphere of influence...

This time, they're building an overseas branch in Japan again, which makes it hard not to have some thoughts.

Of course.

Zhou Fengliu wasn't afraid that Ishikawa Shin would overthink things.

Ishikawa Shin had made it clear that he wanted him to punish Hieiyama, so he also made his conditions clear.

If the ninja of Mount Hiei were able to infiltrate the Central Plains decades ago and establish themselves in the Northeast region, why can't they do the same in every region?

Kou can go, so can I.

This time, they're not sneaking in to establish a branch; they're doing it openly and honestly...

...

"..."

To be honest, Ishikawa Shin was sweating bullets after hearing Zhou Fengliu's terms.

He admitted that he had considered the conditions Zhou Fengliu might propose, but he hadn't expected them to be so demanding.

The fact that Nato's branch is located in Sakura's home country... carries a completely different meaning.

"Mr. Jay Chou, your side..." Ishikawa Shin was a little unsure how to answer.

He originally thought that his all-in bet would get Zhou Fengliu to help their Fish and Dragon Society.

As it turned out, Zhou Fengliu had anticipated this move and countered with a move that put him in a dilemma.

You covet their people? But they end up coveting your homeland...

Seemingly sensing the confusion in Ishikawa Shin's words, Zhou Fengliu even offered a special explanation:

"President Ishikawa, please don't overthink it. We at NaDuTong don't mean anything by it. As you know, NaDuTong is just a courier and logistics company..."

"We usually just handle package forwarding; the idea of ​​setting up a branch in Sakura is definitely just to make money from package delivery and logistics..."

"There was absolutely no intention to interfere with the internal management of the supernatural world in the Sakura Kingdom."

Zhou Fengliu provided further explanation.

He seemed to be explaining, but it was more like he was emphasizing.

This is clearly telling Ishikawa Shin that since the Fish Dragon Society can't manage this small area, Na Du Tong can actually manage it as well.

After listening to Zhou Fengliu's supplement, Ishikawa Shin tentatively asked:

"No interference in internal management?"

"Of course... the principle of friendly cooperation and mutual assistance, and never interfering in the management of non-Chinese individuals in other countries, is the most basic principle."

Zhou Fengliu stated that they would only guarantee the interests and safety of the branch employees.

"I understand Chairman Ishikawa's concerns, but you can rest assured. We are here purely to cooperate and make money; it's simply about expanding our domestic business overseas."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's assurance, Ishikawa Shin had no choice but to believe him.

All in, all in! Once it starts, it can't end.

Taking a gamble might turn a bicycle into a motorcycle; otherwise, this is the situation. The Sakura supernatural world is truly afraid that public opinion will be swayed by Hieiyama and push him off the stage...

"Since Mr. Zhou has said so, then I understand. Okay, our Fish and Dragon Society is willing to cooperate with you. Tell me which piece of land you're interested in... As long as the land doesn't have ownership, I can apply to the higher authorities..."
