One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

Chapter 199 Me? Head of the South China Region? "Zhuge Qing, are you sure the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements are in Feng Baobao's hands?" Zhao Fangxu's voice came through the loudspeaker from the large glass window on the upper floor.

“Confirmed,” Zhuge Qing replied.

"truth."

In response to Zhao Fangxu's questioning gaze, Bi Youlong nodded and said.

"..."

"Okay...you can go now."

Having received confirmation from Zhuge Qing, Zhao Fangxu then asked him to leave.

Watching Zhuge Qing leave Congkuan Deng, Zhao Fangxu turned off the radio and looked at the directors beside him.

"What is Jiang Bailan trying to do? Instead of handing over the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to the company, he secretly distributed it to Feng Baobao. What does this mean?"

Bi Youlong spoke first.

"I can't figure it out..."

Huang Boren, standing to the side, shook his head, unable to understand Jiang Bailan's reasoning.

Why give the "Divine Strategist" to Feng Baobao, a temporary worker?

"Does Jiang Bailan want Feng Baobao to cultivate the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements?" Su Dong suddenly said at this moment.

After thinking about it, the board members all felt that this conjecture made sense; otherwise, there would be no way to explain why Jiang Bailan gave the Divine Machine Refinement to Feng Baobao.

Listening to the discussion, Zhao Fangxu, who had remained silent, kept his expression unchanged, but his heart was filled with great solemnity.

Why Feng Baobao...?

Did Jiang Bailan find out something?

Unlike the other directors, Zhao Fangxu, as Xu Xiang's friend, naturally knew Feng Baobao's secret of immortality. Moreover, Jiang Bailan's behavior was also very strange, making it impossible for him not to think about it.

Given Feng Baobao's dazed and silly appearance (Feng Baobao: If you call me silly, I'll bury you!), who in their right mind would let her learn one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, Divine Machine Hundred Refinements?

But Jiang Bailan did exactly that.

Making someone who knows nothing about weapon crafting and doesn't seem very bright learn something so difficult—if it's not intentional to make things difficult for him, then there's only one other possibility…

—Jiang Bailan has other plans.

The opponent's extraordinary strength further confirms this point.

After all, wouldn't a person with great power crave to live forever?

The more Zhao Fangxu thought about it, the uglier his face became.

It was almost as pale as paper.

After all, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques alone have thrown the world of supernatural beings into chaos for so long. If it were immortality, Zhao Fangxu dared not even imagine such a situation...

"Chairman Zhao! Chairman Zhao! What's wrong?"

Upon noticing the change in Zhao Fangxu's expression, the other directors couldn't help but feel nervous.

"It's nothing," Zhao Fangxu seemed to realize that his expression was off, adjusted his expression, and then said, "There's no use guessing here. Jiang Bailan must have his reasons for doing this. Let's ask him first!"

After instructing Bi Youlong and Huang Boren to continue the interrogation, Zhao Fangxu took out his phone and hurriedly walked towards the door, leaving the board members looking at each other in bewilderment.

-

After a while.

In a small conference room within the company, Zhao Fangxu patiently waited for Jiang Bailan and the others to arrive.

Before long, Jiang Bailan and the others appeared at the door of the conference room, led by Chairman Su.

"Old Zhao, is there something you need from us?"

As soon as he entered, Jiang Bailan greeted them familiarly, but secretly wondered what Zhao Fangxu was planning to do by inviting them, these people from the North China faction.

"Call him Chairman Zhao,"

Hearing Jiang Bailan address him, Xu Si looked embarrassed and quickly corrected her, then said, "Chairman Zhao, Jiang is still young, please don't mind. You've come to see us..."

"..."

"Don't worry about the details, sit down... Bao Bao, you sit down too." Zhao Fangxu greeted Feng Bao Bao, who was engrossed in eating spicy snacks.

Xu Si and Jiang Bailan exchanged a glance and sensed that something was wrong!

Something about it is definitely not right.

"Xiao Jiang, I called you over... because there are a few things I need to tell you." Zhao Fangxu didn't immediately ask about the Divine Hundred Refinements, but instead talked about other things first.

"it is good."

Jiang Bailan made a sound, also wanting to see what the other party was up to.

"The first matter concerns Chen Duo. After discussion by the board of directors, and considering Chen Duo's special circumstances, although you have cured her Gu body, she still needs to remain in the fortress for observation for a period of time for the safety of the public."

"The second matter concerns Liao Zhong. Given that he made two mistakes at work that almost caused a major disaster, the company has removed him from his position as regional head and reassigned him to head of the Dark Fortress."

Zhao Fangxu knew that Jiang Bailan had some connection with the two of them, so he explained Chen Duo and Liao Zhong's situation to lay the groundwork for the conversation that followed.

"Brother Liao, the sentence is so lenient?"

Jiang Bailan's expression was subtle. He hadn't expected that Liao Zhong's two major mistakes would only result in a job transfer. He had thought he would be fired from the company.

Zhao Fangxu: "..."

Xu Si: "..."

Zhao Fangxu felt like he had flattered someone to the point of being blatantly obsequious.

The interpersonal relationships among young people are truly quite delicate...

The board of directors originally intended to dismiss Liao Zhongyi completely, but considering his relationship with Jiang Bailan, they decided to treat him leniently.

"Oh, it's nothing, Chairman Zhao, please continue."

Noticing that Zhao Fangxu's expression was somewhat subtle, Jiang Bailan gestured for him to continue and not to pay attention to him.

Not knowing whether Jiang Bailan was satisfied with this arrangement, Zhao Fangxu continued, "The third matter is not a company matter, but a request from the Old Master. He hopes that Zhang Lingyu can learn from you for a period of time."

Jiang Bailan: "..."

Jiang Bailan is just speechless.

Learn from him?

How to learn?

Washing feet during the day, giving massages at night, and occasionally comforting lonely young ladies?

After learning all this, Zhang Lingyu will surely be ruined. At that time, the Celestial Master will surely have a showdown with Jiang Bailan, and they will have a real fight.

"Chairman Zhao... this is a bit difficult for me. I know quite a few famous 'teachers,' but I don't know how to teach people. Wouldn't that be misleading students?"

Jiang Bailan said no.

"It's okay if you don't know how to teach. The old master said, as long as you don't die from playing, you can play to your death..."

After saying that, Zhao Fangxu himself thought it was outrageous.

Is this how a master should act?

Zhang Lingyu is so amazing! He has never seen such a wonderful disciple before, yet the Celestial Master is still not satisfied.

Jiang Bailan: "...Is this really the old Celestial Master's original words? He's definitely my master!"

Xu Si: "It's over, Zhang Lingyu is finished..."

Zhao Fangxu nodded, not continuing the discussion, and brought up the next matter: "The fourth matter concerns your position. The company wants you to be the new head of the South China region."

"Me? The head of the South China region?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bailan gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?" and immediately replied, "Old Zhao... when you joined the company, it was agreed that the position of special envoy didn't involve any work..."

Jiang Bailan said that he understands the management of Gouba.

Besides, what's so good about being a regional manager? Low pay, lots of work, overtime, and you get subjected to the boss's manipulation even when there's nothing else to do. Look at Xu Si, he's already showing signs of going bald...
