Not long after,
Liu Xiaojiang appeared near the company headquarters with his mobile phone and easily entered the building with his employee ID.
Then, he chatted with the company's front desk staff for a while with a smile on his face. From the staff, he guessed that the Ten Great Leaders meeting was not over yet. Then, he went to the elevator in the company building alone.
A moment later,
Ding...
The elevator displayed the floor '1'. After a soft reminder sound, the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides...
Liu Xiaojiang stood outside the elevator and watched as Lü Ci walked out of the elevator. There was no surprise in his eyes, nor did he intend to be courteous to her.
He just turned sideways and greeted Lü Ci at the elevator door. Then, he stood inside the elevator and let her disappear from his sight before the elevator doors closed again.
The elevator doors closed.
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the tightly shut metal doors in front of him and finally raised the corners of his mouth slowly.
"He didn't notice at all. It seems that the Wang Family's recent misfortune has indeed made this old guy more nervous. And now, as expected, he withdrew from the Ten Great Leaders..."
"At this time, no matter how stubborn he is, the Lü Family can only continue to be a coward. The problem of the four families has been temporarily solved..."
"Next..."
At this point, he gradually put away the smile on his face and looked back at the monitor with a calm expression.
"Er Zhuang, do you think the higher-ups suddenly want to see me this time to investigate the reason for the Wang Family's annihilation, or to take me away from Zhao Fangxu?"
As soon as he said this, the surveillance camera in the elevator immediately lowered its head and a line of text appeared on Liu Xiaojiang's mobile phone.
[I think it might be both. Although Chairman Zhao relied on Big Brother Xiao Jiang to let the company successfully pass the test and the situation with the Tang Sect was resolved, but... they also noticed your means and ability.]
"Now they want to see me..." Liu Xiaojiang said.
"Could it be that the higher-ups were unaware of my existence? Under such circumstances, Zhao Fangxu actually agreed to my proposal in his own name and agreed to let me join the All-Sex... Does he have such great authority?"
[… No.]
[Before the Bi You Village incident, the higher-ups were only aware of the existence of temporary workers in the company and were clear about the purpose of their existence. However, they didn't really value the strength of temporary workers …]
[Then, after the incident in Bi You Village, the higher-ups began to pay attention to the temporary workers. They even tried to get information about the temporary workers from the company. But … they only wanted to know about five temporary workers.]
"Hei Guan is not here. My guess should be right, right?" Liu Xiaojiang thought about it and said.
[Hmm, Black Pipe isn't one of them. The higher-ups only want to know about the other five temporary workers, excluding Duo Er, including you, Brother Xiao Jiang. Based on their actions back then, it's obvious that they value everyone equally. There's no order.]
"But …"
[Ever since you proposed that plan to Chairman Zhao and put it into action, Brother Xiao Jiang … you have become the focus of attention.]
"Did Zhao Fangxu mention my plan to the higher-ups?" Liu Xiaojiang was surprised.
[Although he mentioned it, he didn't say much.]
[Chairman Zhao is a smart leader. Naturally, he wouldn't let anyone have any evidence against him. Of course, he wouldn't want to hide such a big thing from the higher-ups.]
[But the strange thing is …]
[I don't know what Chairman Zhao said back then because I didn't have the guts to hack into the equipment on 'that side'. Anyway … although he did mention it, the higher-ups didn't take it seriously. They just became a little more curious about you.]
[Besides, ever since then, even though the higher-ups have increased their investigation on you, the information they found was all fabricated by me. It's impossible for them to find any valuable clues from that information …]
[Until …]
[Not long ago, the higher-ups suddenly started to make things difficult for the company because of the Tang Sect …]
"You mean …" Liu Xiaojiang slowly frowned. "The reason why the higher-ups made things difficult for the Tang Sect and said that they wanted to test the company's ability to solve the problem was actually because they were targeting me alone?"
[It's very possible … (X _ X)]
[Because after the incident with the Tang Sect, the number of times that the higher-ups have browsed through the fake information has become more frequent. At this point in time … they might have already noticed that even though the information is' real ', it has been faked to make it look real.]
[Besides, other than that information, excluding the company and Mount Longhu, the fact that Liu Xiaojiang's name has no trace in the world … has probably been noticed by the higher-ups.]
Seeing these words.
Liu Xiaojiang's arm that was reaching for the elevator's floor button suddenly froze. He immediately retracted his arm, frowned, and fell silent for a moment.
"Er Zhuang, Liu Ku the Immortal Thief … How's Duo Er's learning going?"
[Duo Er's talent is very good, and she's also very smart. She's already achieved a small success in a few months. She seems to be in a very good state. I believe that even if we can't find a way to cure the poison, with Liu Ku the Immortal Thief … it won't be difficult for her to extend the lifespan of a normal person.]
"That Barran is a foreigner, and it only took him about a year to go from an ordinary person who didn't know anything to the only successor of Liu Ku the Immortal Thief …"
Liu Xiaojiang wasn't surprised by Chen Duo's cultivation speed, but even after hearing such good news, his expression was still a little heavy.
At this time, if things had reached a point of no return, even if he had the ability to escape with Chen Duo … there was still nothing he could do about Er Zhuang.
After all, Er Zhuang's situation was even worse. If she wanted to live, she had to rely on machinery. Even if he could take away the equipment that Er Zhuang was currently using, who could guarantee that the equipment wouldn't be damaged in the future?
Besides, if he didn't take Er Zhuang with him, how would the higher-ups treat a tool who had helped him so much during this period of time?
"Phew …"
Liu Xiaojiang's eyes flashed as he took a deep breath. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and asked:
"Er Zhuang, what's the attitude of the higher-ups now … Can you confirm it?"
[I'm not sure. After the Wang family's incident, they didn't even take the initiative to contact the company. This time, they directly expressed their intention to meet you through my old man …]
[Brother Xiao Jiang …]
[Before things are clear, don't ruin things because of a moment of rashness. This time, you came to see Celestial Master out of courtesy. It's also a good opportunity to see Director Zhao's attitude towards this matter …]
[If it's Director Zhao, at least at this juncture, the words of the real person in charge of the company will still carry a lot of weight. Moreover, he has a rough understanding of the situation on our side …]
[If … if things really reach a point of no return, and the higher-ups don't agree with Director Zhao's idea and intend to do something to us …]
[Brother Xiao Jiang, you must take good care of Little Duo Er in the future! (̄) ̄)]
Seeing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang didn't say anything else, but a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and reached out to the floor button of the elevator …
..
About an hour later..,
Anywhere was connected to the company headquarters..,
In Director Zhao's private reception room..,
Liu Xiaojiang got his wish to see his uncle-master, whom he had not seen for a long time. However, he was no longer in the mood to catch up with the old man.
He only expressed his sense of belonging to Shōichi Tenshi Province, as well as his longing and concern for the father-like elder on the mountain. Then, he immediately got to the point and told him the fact that the higher-ups wanted to see him later.
Right now..,
After listening to Liu Xiaojiang's words, Zhao Fangxu sat on the sofa with a frown. He was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Celestial Master, on the other hand, was as calm and indifferent as usual. He sat in front of the coffee table and kept repeating the action of drinking tea. However, after noticing the coldness written on Liu Xiaojiang's face, he couldn't help but want to take the initiative to speak up and give Liu Xiaojiang a few pointers.
"Xiao Jiang, long time no see. Do you still remember what Uncle-Master told you on the mountain alone …"
"Maintain your original heart and take the right path …" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Celestial Master, who was seated, and his expression softened slightly.
"Master's Apprentice, I've never forgotten what you've said before. I've been doing the same for this period of time, including joining the All-Nature Sect, becoming the All-Nature Sect Leader, and what happened in the Wang Family …"
"Everything you've done during this period of time, the company's leader has already explained on the phone," Celestial Master put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a gentle expression, saying:
"Although it's a difficult path full of thorns, it's not chaotic and lightless. You can take the initiative to propose this idea to the company's leader, Uncle-Master … No, I'm sure that in the future, even if Tian knows about it, he will definitely be proud of a disciple like you."
"If you can do everything and return peace to this world, hehe … I can already imagine how Tian will show off to me in the future."
"…" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Celestial Master, who was so calm, and couldn't help but be stunned.
He originally thought that even if the old man knew the truth behind it, he would definitely blame him for being too extreme and absolute in his actions. He didn't expect that not only did he not blame him, but he also praised him.
"Everyone has their own path to walk …" Celestial Master noticed Liu Xiaojiang's expression and said slowly.
"The path that suits old men like us may not necessarily suit young people like you …"
"The path that suits the company's leader may not necessarily suit the current situation …"
"Your path is destined to be full of thorns. Even if your methods and methods are relatively extreme, they may not necessarily not be something that is lacking or lacking in this path. As long as you can determine the correctness of it … seek common ground while reserving differences."
"Disciple understands," Liu Xiaojiang thought for a moment, then nodded towards Celestial Master.
"These are the words I wanted to tell you the most when I came down from the mountain …" Celestial Master smiled and stroked his beard, then turned to Zhao Fangxu.
"Chairman Zhao, I have something to say to the company. I wonder if you're willing to give this old man a chance to speak …"
"… What are you talking about?" Zhao Fangxu immediately said, "For a historical school like Mount Longhu that is willing to cooperate with the company, no matter what you want to say … just say it."
Seeing this..,
Celestial Master nodded and pointed at Liu Xiaojiang.
"Liu Xiaojiang, although he has been removed from Mount Longhu, he is still a member of the Righteous Sect. Under my junior brother Tian Jinzhong, he … is still recognized by everyone in Mount Longhu as a disciple of the Righteous Sect."
"Liu Xiaojiang is also the only martial nephew of I, Zhang Zhiwei …"
"Chairman Zhao, if you hadn't spoken to me on the phone back then, the unforeseen events that happened to the Tang Sect and the Wang Family would have been enough for me to personally go down the mountain to clean them up …"
Zhao Fangxu looked at Liu Xiaojiang and wiped his sweat. "Celestial Master, you …"
"This sentence was not said by Zhang Zhiwei …" Celestial Master continued with a serious expression, "This was said by the 65th Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Shōichi Tenshi Province. I hope that after today … the higher-ups will be able to understand this sentence in time."
Hearing this..,
Zhao Fangxu immediately fell silent. After a long while, he raised his eyes to look at the two martial nephews in the room and said,
"Celestial Master, do you have to be like this? Even if the higher-ups have a lot of considerations, they might do something to Xiao Jiang …"
"I know that the higher-ups have their difficulties …" Celestial Master smiled and nodded. He did not feel that his words would make the matter look serious in the eyes of the company and the higher-ups.
"I'm not threatening the higher-ups …"
At this point, Celestial Master turned around and looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who had been stunned for a long time, and said,
"Liu Xiaojiang is my disciple. After all, this is a publicly acknowledged fact in Mount Longhu. If he does anything to betray the trust of the company and the higher-ups in the future, I will have the responsibility to personally go down the mountain to clean up the sect …"
"Then, with the lives of Zhang Zhiwei and Junior Brother Tian Jinzhong, as well as the future of everyone in Mount Longhu, Shōichi Tenshi Province, we will apologize to those innocent people who might be hurt …"
"If that's the case, can you ask the company and the higher-ups not to push my martial nephew too hard before he does anything evil …"
"What do you think about this …"
Plop!
Liu Xiaojiang understood Celestial Master's thoughts. He immediately knelt on the ground without hesitation and said in a trembling voice,
"Master's Junior, Liu Xiaojiang is no longer a disciple. You don't have to use your own life and my master's life for one, one …"
"This is a decision made jointly by me and your master, Tian Jinzhong, so it's not up to a junior like you to make irresponsible remarks …" Celestial Master looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who was kneeling on the ground. A hint of relief flashed through his narrowed eyes.
This child had not changed …
When it came to the people and things that he truly cared about, he would always be more emotional than rational …
Very good!
