Chapter 16: The Company in Turmoil!
Chapter 16: The Company in Turmoil!
Beijing, headquarters of NaDuTong.
The atmosphere in the spacious, bright office was so heavy it seemed to drip water.
"Snapped!"
A document was slammed onto the table.
The company's chairman, Zhao Fangxu, is a chubby old man who always has a smile on his face and looks like a Maitreya Buddha.
He was clutching his chest, his face flushed, and his other hand frantically rummaging through the drawer.
"My medication...where are my blood pressure pills? Quick! Give me two! No, three!"
The secretary standing next to her was terrified and quickly handed her a medicine bottle and water.
Zhao Fangxu swallowed the pills in one gulp, took a deep breath, and then pointed to several photos on the large screen in front of him, his fingers trembling:
"Xu Si! You...you say that again? Who's in this photo???"
The large screen displays surveillance footage of Yingtan City's pedestrian street.
In the photo, three old men are walking side by side, each holding a cup of milk tea.
The one in the middle, wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses, exudes an aura of dominance, like a gangster godfather on his way to collect protection money.
The one on the left is wearing a Tang suit, has a ruddy complexion, and walks with a powerful stride.
The young Taoist priest on the right was the most outrageous; he was carrying three roast chickens he had just bought and had a bright smile on his face.
Xu Si, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, also shrugged helplessly.
"Chairman Zhao, I also wanted to say that these are stills from a drama I filmed in Hengdian. But unfortunately... this is Yingtan City this morning."
"That's the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei in the middle."
"On the left is Tian Jinzhong, who just stood up after the medical miracle."
"That gentleman on the right... is Su Wuxian, who just hung the four madmen of Quanxing on the tree."
"These three ancestors... have descended the mountain."
"puff--!"
Zhao Fangxu sprayed the water he had just drunk all over the table.
"They've come down the mountain??? What are they up to? Can't stay on Longhu Mountain anymore? Or are they planning a rebellion?!"
Zhao Fangxu felt his blood pressure rise again after it had just gone down.
The fact that a top-tier celestial master had descended the mountain was already enough to give him a headache.
Now, it's great! Buy one get two free!
It also comes with a bonus: Su Wuxian, who is more mysterious, younger, and more ruthless than the Celestial Master!
Add to that Tian Jinzhong, who has been holding back for decades and has finally stood up, and probably wants to kick everyone he sees!
This is hardly going downhill.
These are clearly three nuclear bombs with legs strolling around the street!
"According to our informants at the scene..."
Xu San adjusted his glasses and added earnestly.
"They first bought milk tea, then Liu's roast chicken. During that time, they encountered four thugs impersonating Quanxing. The old master took off his sunglasses and glanced at them, and the four of them immediately peed themselves."
"And then? Where did they go?" Zhao Fangxu asked eagerly.
Xu Si exhaled a smoke ring and pointed to the north on the map:
"I bought a high-speed train ticket to Beijing. Business class."
"Beijing???"
Zhao Fangxu's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
That's right under the emperor's nose!
It's also the headquarters of NaDuTong!
It is also the place where various extraordinary families reside!
"What are they doing in Beijing? Tourism? Or...?"
Zhao Fangxu suddenly realized something, and his expression changed: "The Wang family?"
Xu Si nodded: "Most likely. Senior Su publicly stated at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that he was coming to the Wang family to 'settle accounts.' Moreover, last night, that old bastard Wang Ai sent people to intercept Wang Ye, which probably thoroughly angered this protective advisor."
"It's over... everything's in complete chaos now."
Zhao Fangxu slumped into a chair, rubbing his temples. "The Wang family may not be any good, but they're still one of the Ten Elders. If they really get beaten up in the capital, the world of supernatural beings will be in chaos!"
"Chairman Zhao, what should we do? Should we stop them?" Xu San asked.
"Stop me? What are you going to use to stop me?"
Zhao Fangxu glared at him. "Are you going to stop that old master of Quanxing who slapped Quanxing to death? Or are you going to stop Su Wuxian who hangs the Quanxing leaders like dried meat?"
"So... we're just going to leave it alone?"
"We definitely need to regulate, but we can't regulate it rigidly."
Zhao Fangxu, being a seasoned veteran, quickly devised a plan:
"Since we can't stop them, we might as well go along with it!"
"Aren't they here for tourism? Then arrange the best tour guides for them! Make sure they eat well, drink well, and have fun! As long as they're in a good mood, even if they want to fight, we can persuade them to stay calm and not make too much of a scene!"
Zhao Fangxu slammed his fist on the table: "Xu Si! Don't you remember you had Zhang Chulan, the most shameless... oh no, the most clever one under your command?"
"By the way, isn't Zhang Chulan Zhang Huaiyi's grandson? Then they're family!"
"And that Feng Baobao!"
"Send those two to the high-speed rail station! Immediately! Right now! Stop these three gentlemen!"
"There's only one task: serve them well! Keep them happy! As long as they don't cast any spells in the city center, all expenses will be reimbursed by the company!"
......
Hotel room at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Chulan was sprawled on the sofa, holding his phone, looking worried.
"Sigh, Bao'er, you know, we won the championship this time, but we rejected the Heavenly Master's blessing. We're afraid things won't be easy from now on."
Beside her, Feng Baobao was intently sharpening her shovel with nail clippers, without even looking up.
"Don't be afraid, I've got your back."
Just then, Zhang Chulan's phone rang.
Caller ID: Xu Si.
"Hey, Fourth Brother? What's the order? Are you going to give me a bonus?"
Zhang Chulan answered the phone and immediately put on a cheeky smile.
"A bonus? Yes! A huge one!"
Xu Si's gloating voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Zhang Chulan, the organization has assigned you a glorious but arduous task."
"Your young advisor, Su Wuxian, along with your advisor Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong, have gone down the mountain. Their destination is Beijing."
"The company has decided to send you and your baby as special envoys to accompany you throughout the trip."
Upon hearing the name "Su Wuxian," Zhang Chulan immediately...
My hand trembled, and the phone almost hit my face.
"Holy crap??? The three elders have come down the mountain?"
The image of Su Wuxian's ambiguous smile and the phrase "Call me Master" instantly flashed into his mind.
"Fourth Brother, is this job... dangerous?"
Zhang Chulan swallowed.
"What danger?! That's your own advisor! It's an opportunity to curry favor! Countless people would kill for such a chance!"
Xu Si tempted, "Think about it, if you can keep these three happy, who in the world of supernatural beings will dare to touch you? Even Wang Ai will have to avoid you!"
"Moreover, there's no limit to the budget for this operation! All expenses, including food, drinks, and entertainment, will be reimbursed at public expense!"
Upon hearing "publicly funded reimbursement" and "clinging to someone powerful," the hesitation in Zhang Chulan's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by two beams of golden light.
He sprang up from the sofa and stood at attention, saluting the phone.
"Mission accomplished!"
"Serving our elders is our duty as younger generations! I'm just going to buy tickets!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chulan excitedly pulled Feng Baobao up:
"Sister Bao'er! Stop sharpening the knife! Let's go! We're going to Beijing!"
"What are you doing?" Feng Baobao tilted her head.
"Go serve those three big shots!" Zhang Chulan chuckled. "And while we're at it... let's ride on their coattails and swagger around Beijing!"
