"No..."
Even though Su Cheng understood what Zhao Fangxu meant and knew that the other party's suggestion would be better on a macro level, when he considered the purpose of his decision and the reason why he took the initiative to take over the company this time, he still shook his head and chose to reject it.
"We can't let everyone take a huge risk just because of Liu Xiaojiang alone..."
"Su Cheng! What exactly do you want to do?! "Zhao Fangxu obviously wouldn't believe such words. He finally couldn't help but question Su Cheng.
"It's very simple..." Su Cheng ignored Zhao Fangxu's unconcealable emotions and still maintained his initial calm and composure.
"The reason why I came to take over all the authority of the company is essentially because someone is already impatient with the current situation. Then, the matters that need me to personally deal with in the future will naturally be in the opposite direction from Chairman Zhao in terms of the general direction."
"If that's the case..." Zhao Fangxu frowned and said.
"Why are you still keeping me on the company's board of directors? Wouldn't it be better for me to find a place to retire alone? At least no one will openly disagree with you."
"No, no, no..." Su Cheng pretended to be in fear and trepidation.
"Chairman Zhao, you are the founder of the company. Even if you haven't made any real achievements over the years, you have indeed worked hard to manage the inhuman circle. Now that nothing major has happened... even if you don't have any credit, at least you have some hard work."
"The higher-ups can't directly remove all your positions, and I have no reason to target a senior who has worked hard for a lifetime. So, as long as you are willing, you will always be a director of the company. Every year, you will also take a portion of the dividends from the profitable projects."
"Unless..."
At this point..,
He gradually put away the fake expression on his face and looked meaningfully at Zhao Fangxu, the company's veteran. "If you submit your retirement application to the higher-ups now, I am also very willing to immediately arrange a good place for you to retire."
"But unfortunately, combined with some of the information I have, you don't seem to be very willing to retire. At least before I am transferred out of the company by the higher-ups, you have no intention of applying for retirement at all. Instead, you are even more hardworking than before... isn't that so?"
Hearing this..,
Zhao Fangxu immediately looked at the other directors present because he knew that Su Cheng, who had just taken over the company, was unlikely to know about some of his previous arrangements. Perhaps some of the directors had completely sided with Su Cheng.
"Chairman Zhao, you don't have to look at the other directors like that. After all, we're all colleagues working in the same pot. Ordinary records like schedules … no matter who sees them, it's not a secret." Su Cheng's fake smile appeared on his face again.
At this point,
Zhao Fangxu understood that he would only gradually lose power in the company in the future, unless Su Cheng was really transferred out of the company by the higher-ups. Otherwise, with the large amount of company authority that he had actually obtained, and the board of directors that existed in name only …
He no longer had the qualifications to continue fighting with Su Cheng.
"Little Su, don't underestimate the Mutants. Even if they are weaker than most ordinary people, don't underestimate them just because you have absolute power," Zhao Fangxu said after a long silence.
"After all, not everyone thinks that the absolute power that you believe in is a power that can be easily used. You have to consider whether or not a so-called high-level manager like yourself can compare to the lives of all the eccentrics and some ordinary people."
"Although I don't know why Number One and the rest agreed to let you take over the company, I believe that … in their eyes, you and I, as compared to the lives of the Inhumans and some ordinary people, the top management is just an insignificant existence."
"If you harm others, you will harm yourself …"
After saying that..,
Zhao Fangxu knew that he could not affect any of Su Cheng's decisions. He immediately stood up from his seat at the conference table. He was not tall enough, but he was unusually tall and straight as he left the room with his back facing everyone.
Su Cheng did not stop Zhao Fangxu from taking a personal stand. Or rather, he also thought that it was better for this old fox to leave. At least this way, it would not affect the thoughts of the other directors.
Then..,
He found that although the directors present were silent, as if they did not understand the way he treated Zhao Fangxu, there was obviously no hatred in their eyes. Thus, he once again spoke with a fake smile,
"Alright, Chairman Zhao has already left. There's no need for everyone to hide their thoughts. Although I look like an unreasonable dictator, at least I'm completely different from the one who left. I … am very willing to understand each of your thoughts."
"And …"
"Just as I said just now, as long as it's a means or an idea that can quickly achieve a goal, regardless of whether it represents an extreme in nature … it's fine."

Three days later,
Underground in a city in Country M.,
Liu Xiaojiang sat in a building made of steel. Countless corpses were lying on the spacious ground around him.
However, there was no tragic scene of blood flowing like a river. Other than the fact that the corpses were not breathing and had no heartbeat, they looked like living people who had fallen into a deep sleep.
"796 people. The last secret base hidden underground. The only superhumans left … are there only these people in total?"
Liu Xiaojiang crushed the pocket watch with the photo in his hand. He got up and looked at Windsor and Charles who were standing behind him.
"Charles?"
"Ah? Oh! "Charles heard Liu Xiaojiang calling him and immediately came back to his senses.
He looked at the tragic situation in the surrounding facilities again. He swallowed his saliva and tried to remain calm. He looked at Liu Xiaojiang in awe and said,
"Master, this should be the only base that I don't know about. And according to the facility manager who was afraid of death, this is probably the last secret training facility left."
"After all, he's a general. Since he's so afraid of death, he won't have any so-called dignity in front of Master …"
"Is that so …" Liu Xiaojiang knew that this was the last base related to the Inhumans. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. A relaxed smile finally appeared on his face.
"Then it seems that we can leave this place soon …"
"Master …" Windsor was a little hesitant.
"Do you really want to take us with you? Even if we become immortal under your power, with just the two of us, we won't be of much help to you. Instead, you might feel …"
"I need manpower. But if you don't want to, you can wait here for my news. After I've solved the other problems, I'll take the two of you back to my territory …" Liu Xiaojiang did not deny it.
As soon as he finished speaking,
He did not care about Windsor and Charles' reaction. Instead, he picked up the satellite phone he found in the facility and quickly dialed a number …
"Hello?"
"Chairman Zhao, it's me. There was an accident earlier. I lost contact with Wuyue, and I also lost her phone. But the mission in Country M has been completed. Next …"
"Xiao … Xiao Jiang?!!!"
