Chapter 516 Sticks and Sweet Dates

Murong Ji turned to look at Zhao Fangxu, a little surprised, "Do you trust them? Or do the higher-ups trust them?"

"Oh. You underestimate the company and the leaders." Zhao Fangxu pushed his glasses. "Loyalty and righteousness are not only possessed by extraordinary people. Many things are supported by ordinary people."

"Ordinary people do have problems when they become leaders, but they also have their own personal charm. Although they have many flaws, they will not make mistakes on major issues."

"Besides, people themselves are the problem."

Bi Youlong is one of the three giants of the company. Even Mr. Su, who has a strong background, pales in comparison to him. Just think about it and you will know his importance.

Murong didn't care how to choose people or who to choose, and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing this, Zhao Fangxu changed the subject, "Do you think Zhuge Qing is suitable to be a temporary worker? Or should he take over Lao Liao's job?"

Murong Ji was a little dazed for a moment. The company looked powerful, but in fact, it was very weak. Now it even had to look for a successor from outside.

No suitable candidate has been found to take Liao Zhong's place yet.

"It's not suitable. Zhuge Qing's personality is not suitable."

Zhao Fangxu nodded and said, "Then let's choose one of the Tang Sect children you brought back to be a temporary worker."

After two or three days, Murong Ji finished his company's affairs and returned home, only to see Qu Tong preparing sacrifices.

The living room is filled with white chrysanthemums, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Murong Ji looked at Qu Tong, who was sitting on the sofa with a frown, and walked over.

"Who are you going to worship?"

Murong Ji's voice woke Qu Tong up, and he immediately handed the phone over.

Murong Ji glanced at it. It was a memorial text issued by Tianxiahui. The anniversary of Wang Zizhong's death was approaching...

The relationship between Qu Tong and Wang Zizhong has never been confirmed, but judging from their facial features, they must be relatives, no doubt about it.

Murong Ji sighed softly, "Let's go together. I have time recently."

Qu Tong nodded and felt much better.

A few days later, Murong Ji and his family of five drove to the cemetery, found Wang Zizhong's grave, and began to worship.

While his step-mother-in-law was secretly crying, Murong Ji compared the faces of the two people. He had to admit that they did look very similar, but he had not been able to confirm it personally.

There is still some regret in this, but looking at the look on the face of my cheap mother-in-law, she must know something.

With a sigh, let the past pass. Wang Zizhong's soul was detained in his hands, and he had already saved him.

Soon, another group of people came to pay tribute to Wang Zizhong. When they approached, they were from the Tianxia Society, Feng Zhenghao and his son Feng Xingtong.

"Mr. Murong, long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been a few months."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Murong also has a friendship with Mr. Wang." While speaking, Feng Zhenghao looked at the people behind Murong Ji.

His eyes fell on Qu Tong and her mother, as if he was thinking about something.

They are not fools. The Wang family got the power to summon spirits and dispatch generals, and the Lu family got the power of both. Especially after Qu Tong's identity was exposed, the Lu family could no longer hide.

What's more, recently there is news about a Lu Liang who can also do both.

The Lu family has nothing to do with Wang Zizhong, but what about Qu Tong? !

Murong Ji said expressionlessly: "I just admire his reputation. We are all fellow practitioners. Moreover, Mr. Wang has saved countless lives, so naturally we have to pay tribute to him."

Feng Zhenghao didn't care since he didn't find out anything. He treated Murong Ji warmly and expressed his gratitude to Qu's father and mother.

[This is completely putting oneself in the position of a descendant of Wang Zizhong. ]

This is understandable. Feng Zhenghao was in charge of Wang Zizhong's illness and death, so it is only natural for him to inherit Wang Zizhong's network of contacts.

Watching them father and son pay tribute to Wang Zizhong, Murong Ji felt somewhat relieved. Feng Zhenghao's character was beyond reproach. His personality...

"Brother Murong, long time no see." Feng Xingtong came up to him with a smile on his face.

Murong Ji nodded and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Xingtong." He seemed neither distant nor close.

After the worship, Murong Ji and others got in the car and went back directly. Feng Zhenghao watched them leave, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Dad, why do I feel like Brother Murong is a little cold towards me?"

Feng Zhenghao laughed and said, "That's because you haven't met his expectations. There's no need for him to waste his energy on you."

"Ah? How could that be... I think I'm fine!"

Feng Zhenghao retracted his gaze, "Xingtong, what kind of person do you think Murong Ji is?"

Feng Xingtong scratched his head, thinking carefully in his heart: "Brother Murong, he is a very easy-going person, right?" "Easy to get along with? Only you think he is easy to get along with."

"Ah? Isn't it?"

Feng Zhenghao looked at his son and didn't know what to say. From childhood to adulthood, he knew how to educate children. Now, he suddenly didn't know how to talk to him.

"Xingtong, what Mr. Murong wants to see is your courage." Feng Zhenghao paused and adjusted his words, "From the time Murong Ji appeared in the circle until now, I have never heard that he has suffered any loss."

"I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. My approach to dealing with the Wang family is fundamentally different from mine."

"Logically speaking, even if the Tianxia Association cannot match the Wang family's deep foundation, we shouldn't kneel down and lick their ass, but I did it anyway."

Feng Xingtong understood a little, his eyes were a little serious, "He is...he looks down on our Feng family's style?"

"No, no, no, he never looked down on anyone, but he never looked down on anyone. His arrogance is in his bones. When facing anyone, no matter how enthusiastic they are, he always ignores them."

"Even in front of the Ten Lords, he was still like this. So when he faced the Wang family, no one ever doubted his determination to fight to the death. He wanted that kind of determination."

Feng Xingtong was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, his face darkened, "I think I understand now. When Wang Bing bullied me that night, Brother Murong was also nearby. In fact, he was the one who planned it..."

Feng Zhenghao sighed, "I can understand what Mr. Murong means. If he wants to recruit disciples, countless people will send their best talents to him. But the disciple he wants to recruit has the opportunity to reach the top... This is difficult."

"But you are not without a chance..." Feng Zhenghao pushed his glasses and looked at the intersection in the distance where there were no more vehicles.

"Ah? Dad, if they don't want to, then don't rush them, right?"

"You kid!" Feng Zhenghao's face was a little serious. "People like Mr. Murong can slowly transform even if they follow him. The vast knowledge accumulation is enough for you to learn."

After returning to the company, Murong Ji heard that Director Zhao was on a business trip again, and it was still about the Tang Clan. This time, it was the Seeking Truth Society, a sect of the Thirty-Six Thieves back then, which was formed by the merger of four sects, that was causing trouble.

Director Zhao went to appease him.

Inside the office.

Murong Ji took the information handed over by Huang Bairen, looked at it carefully, and after getting a general idea, he looked up at Mr. Huang who was sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Bairen put down his teacup and said, "Don't ask me. Originally, Mr. Zhao wanted to invite you to join the Ten Lords Association. Whether it's your prestige, strength, or influence, you are qualified enough."

"Those few can't say anything. Now that something has happened, the Seeking Truth Society has long been planning to nominate one of their own to become one of the Ten Lords."

"Now that we are stuck here, Director Zhao is in a difficult position... That's why I came to ask for your opinion."

Murong Ji thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't have any power! Qu Tong's scale is all supported by the company. It makes it sound like Yaoxing Society is our private army."

"Boss Huang, Yaoxing Society belongs to the company and the people... Qu Tong can achieve results because of the trust of the leaders! The leadership is good! Besides, they are all organizations that serve the people. I don't agree with your random accusations. I have to go to Boss Zhao to argue with you."

Huang Bairen: “…”

These were always his lines in the past.

"I'm more fluent in saying these things than you are! Stop talking about useless things. What do you think? Director Zhao is still waiting for my reply." Huang Bairen's face darkened. He seemed to be asking for benefits.

Murong Ji restrained his expression and said in a deep voice: "I don't have any intention of joining the Ten Lords Association. It's useless. They are all good at making soy sauce."

"Hehe." Huang Boren smiled inexplicably, "Then I will reply to Mr. Zhao like this."

Murong Ji nodded and watched Huang Bairen return the call to Mr. Zhao. He was originally planning to send him away so that he could refine the next batch of pills.

Seeing Huang Bairen handing over another piece of paper, he was a little confused. He took it and looked at it, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Qu Tong's appointment letter!

The company expanded its board of directors and added a new director to be responsible for overseas business. Qu Tong was appointed as the company's seventh director.

"Aren't you afraid that Qu Tong will do something weird again? She, or I, have a criminal record."

Huang Bairen pushed up his glasses and said, "We are not blind and can guess what Qu Tong is going to do. As long as it is within the controllable range and does not cause a big mess, let her do what she wants."

"The company will not intervene. Of course, the company's mission must be completed. However, let me be frank..."

Huang Boren pushed his glasses, his face extremely solemn: "If you cause trouble as big as the Jiashen Rebellion, or if the company cannot let anyone destroy stability and peace, I will be angry."

Murong Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed. These people on the board of directors are really... cunning!

A week later, Zhang Zhiwei officially withdrew from the Ten Lords Association.

The meeting of the ten leaders was held at the headquarters of Nadutong in the capital, and Director Su and Murong Ji were there to listen in again.

At the meeting, there was a disagreement over the proposed new members.
