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

Before Xu San and Xu Si could say anything, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter..."

As Xu San called out "Come in," Zhou Fengliu opened the office door and went inside.

The moment Zhou Fengliu appeared, everyone—Xu San, Xu Si (the Emperor of the Yellow Emperor of North China), Zhang Chulan, and Feng Baobao—was stunned.

"Holy crap, Brother Liu!"

"Xiao Zhou?"

Amidst the surprised tones of the crowd, Zhou Fengliu scratched his face and plopped down on the sofa.

"What? Why are you so surprised?"

"Brother Liu, aren't you at the headquarters in Beijing?" Zhang Chulan asked.

“Bilian, you’re out of touch. I’ve already been to the Northeast…” Zhou Fengliu replied casually, “It’s my administrative leave now, so I can go wherever I want… just wander around.”

"I missed you all, so I came back to visit..."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Xu Si chimed in, "You didn't even tell us you were coming back. Your fourth brother should at least have given you a welcome-back party or something..."

"No rush, Fourth Brother, there's plenty of time... As long as Fourth Brother pays, I'm free anytime..."

"You little brat... you're our boss now, and you're still trying to freeload?" Xu Si said, indicating that Zhou Fengliu was still the same Zhou Fengliu, truly not forgetting his original intentions.

"It's so great to get something for free," Zhou Fengliu replied to Xu Si, then turned his gaze to the serious-looking Xu San and asked:

"Third Brother, what were you discussing just now? I heard something else happened?"

"Hmm." Xu San pushed up his glasses and spoke to Zhou Fengliu:

"It's not that something happened, it's just that there's a new mission. Lu Jin just informed the company that his relationship with Li Muxuan... needs to be finalized."

"What? Is Old Master Lu going to fight Li Muxuan to the death?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

“No…” Xu Si shook his head: “To be precise, it is Li Muxuan who is preparing to withdraw from Quanxing.”

"?"

Upon hearing that Li Muxuan wanted to leave Quanxing, Zhang Chulan was completely bewildered: "Wait, leave Quanxing? There's a way to leave Quanxing?"

"Yes, there are, but not many people do that now. Not many people chose to leave Quanxing in the past either..." Xu Si lit a cigarette and answered.

"You really know how the older generation can be; they're really good at creating something special..."

"What's the process?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously.

"I've forgotten the procedure too, third brother, what was it again?"

Hearing Xu Si's question, Xu San paused for a moment, then replied:

"First, release the news to give everyone time to prepare, then choose a time, place, and a respected notary in attendance..."

"Anyone may attend this withdrawal ceremony within seven days from the selected date, for any reason."

"The content of this withdrawal ceremony is also very simple. Within seven days, witnesses and participants can do anything to the person who wants to withdraw from Quanxing, and the person withdrawing must fully accept all the demands of the participants in the ceremony."

Chapter 589 I'll report them all tonight!

Hearing Xu San's words, Zhang Chulan was slightly taken aback.

This process sounds like... a sure-fire way to fail?

If you unconditionally grant all the participants' requests, what if you asked Li Muxuan to commit suicide?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan said, "Isn't Li Muxuan deliberately courting death?"

"Yeah, pretty much..." Xu Si nodded. "That means they didn't intend to live..."

"The Quanxing sect, having committed numerous evils, is practically courting death by leaving in this way. As for the Quanxing members who haven't done anything wrong and don't want to go through all that trouble, they can simply find a secluded corner and live in anonymity. There's no need for them to resort to this method..."

"That's why they say Li Muxuan knows how to pull off something; he brought out a rule that no one has used in decades..."

"this..."

After listening to Xu Si's explanation, Zhang Chulan stroked his chin: "So, no one has ever succeeded?"

"Hmm... I've heard that some people choose this method to pay for their past sins, and also to show everyone that they're completely severing ties with Quanxing. If there aren't any grudges between them, people will probably think highly of this choice..."

"However, there are probably many older people like Li Muxuan who have grudges against him, otherwise, how could Li Muxuan be called a bad boy?"

As Xu Si spoke, he lit a traditional cigarette for himself and took a puff.

"That's true. Putting everything else aside, just considering Grandpa Lu and Li Muxuan, they would have to fight... After all, these two had already clashed when they returned from Nathan Island. If Brother Liu hadn't been there..."

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he looked at Zhou Fengliu:

"Brother Liu, if Master Lu fights Li Muxuan again this time, will you step in to stop him?"

"Me? Why would I stop you?"

After listening for a while, Zhou Fengliu glanced at Zhang Chulan: "Last time, it was because of President Zhao's instructions that solo and duo queueing was not allowed back in Shenzhou..."

"This time, Li Muxuan and the others have notified the company. Let's see what happens..."

"Between Master Lu and Li Muxuan, who do you think is more promising, Brother Liu?" Zhang Chulan asked again.

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Fengliu hesitated for a moment.

This made him say that he really couldn't give a proper evaluation, after all, his fight with Lu Jin was a mess, and his fight with Li Muxuan was also a mess...

From his perspective, the two are evenly matched.

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu remained silent, Xu Si tossed the burnt-out cigarette butt into the ashtray and then began to speak:

"Alright, whoever wins, that's a matter for the older generation. We'll just go and take a look, keep an eye on things..."

"Xiao Zhou finally came back for a visit, let's not talk about work! Your fourth brother is treating tonight, we'll have a proper welcome-back dinner..."

Xu Si, who clearly knew Zhou Fengliu best, patted Zhou Fengliu on the shoulder and whispered with a smile:

"While you were away, several more clubs opened in Tianjin. Your fourth brother has already checked them out. The technicians are all dressed scantily, and their figures are amazing... More importantly, there are even foreign beauties!"

"Would you like to learn a foreign language?!"

After all, they were kindred spirits. He knew the true Yellow Emperor of North China inside and out. Hearing Xu Si's sincere invitation, Zhou Fengliu found it hard to refuse.

"Fourth Brother, you know me... I've never been good at foreign languages ​​since I was little, and as I grew up, I wanted to make up for it. I really want to learn..."

"OK, wait for me after get off work," Xu Si said.

Seeing Xu Si colluding with Zhou Fengliu, Xu San adjusted his glasses. He wanted to say something, but then stopped himself.

Hmm.

What could he say?

Now that Xiao Zhou is their leader, even he, as the assistant to the regional head, can't get a word in edgewise.

Oh well, let them be.

Xu San was thinking to himself when he saw Zhang Chulan, who was also eager to go out. Seeing him looking at Zhang Chulan, he immediately said:

"Chu Lan, you'll be working overtime tonight."

"what?"

Hearing Xu San's words, Zhang Chulan was completely dumbfounded.

"It's not that I'm a third brother, but I also want to learn a foreign language and broaden my horizons."

“Sure, your third brother is a top student, so let him give you a good boost…” Xu Si said to Zhang Chulan upon hearing this.

"..."

OK OK.

Is this how you play it?

Hearing Xu Si's words, Zhang Chulan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

bitter!

too bitter!

What kind of day is this, passing by everywhere in North China!

When Brother Liu arrived, it was to go out and learn a foreign language.

He came; it was Xu San who tutored him in foreign languages...

I'll report you all tonight!

...

As it turns out, Zhang Chulan only had the desire but not the courage. When Xu Si wanted to take him out after get off work that night, he refused, spouting the words of a virtuous gentleman, just like Zhou Fengliu back in the day.

However, unlike Zhou Fengliu, who only talked the talk but didn't walk the walk, Zhang Chulan was all talk and no action...

In the following days, Zhou Fengliu and Xu Sizhou went from one bathhouse to another in Tianjin.

It's worth mentioning that they were getting legitimate foot baths, and as for learning foreign languages, they genuinely consulted with foreign technicians using foreign language books...

Ok.

Absolutely no content unsuitable for children; purely green and healthy.

While Zhou Fengliu and Xu Si were inspecting Tianjin, Li Muxuan's ceremony to withdraw from Quanxing was also in full swing.

This news was like a stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples throughout the industry.

Although it didn't cause as much of a stir in the community as Zhou Fengliu's expedition to the Sakura Country and his defeat of Hieiyama Shinobu a while ago, it's still a relatively hot topic in the community recently.

Those who had grudges against Li Muxuan, or those invited to witness the ceremony, all sprang into action. The major sects within the circle, needless to say, were all invited witnesses...

To Zhou Fengliu's surprise, he also received an invitation from Li Muxuan to witness the ceremony.

This invitation was not made in the name of inviting company directors, but purely to Zhou Fengliu himself.

This left Zhou Fengliu somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, he wasn't familiar with Li Muxuan. The only time they had clashed was on Nathan Island... Back then, in his attempt to capture Li Muxuan, he had slapped him quite a few times...

How did this fan develop feelings?
