Chapter 752 The Argument at Headquarters

"Just now, Liu Qingqing came to see me. She's simply going too far! I can let it go with Boss Lin, since it's a win-win situation. But who is Liu Qingqing to dare to pressure me like this? However, what she said isn't without reason. If she really succeeds in becoming a god, I'll be under a lot of pressure."

Liu San recounted what had just happened, without concealing anything, nor was there any need or appropriateness to conceal anything.

Previously, it was thought that the appearance of the Peace Hotel would be of great help to the current situation, but as it turns out, their thinking was too one-sided.

Where there are people, there is the world!

"He" is high above, looking down on the world, treating everyone equally, but it is different for the employees of the Peace Hotel. They have their own wishes and desires.

First, there was Fang Shiming, who, for his own selfish reasons, used the ghost messenger Lao Fan, whom he had finally managed to control through "marriage," to intimidate the headquarters. Now, Liu Qingqing, one of the four primordial chefs, is also clearly starting to adopt an attitude of using her power to oppress others.

If that's how she is, then what about He Yuelian, Tong Qian, and He Yin'er? Are their mindsets really the same as always, without any change?
Liu San dared not think about it, but he had clearly fallen out with Liu Qingqing, and among the remaining three, only Tong Qian was the most suitable choice.

At least Tong Qian's expression of "fairness," even though it often makes people dislike and have a headache, does indeed embody the word "fairness."

“I remember Tong Qian once suggested using emotions to control the store manager. Of course, at that time, the store manager was perceived as a conscious vengeful ghost, but the current situation is not much different, except that the control has been changed to the path of becoming a god.”

"After so much time, even if she hasn't made any progress, she should have her own ideas and plans, right? Liu San and He Yuelian are clearly not on the same page as headquarters, and they both have their own selfish motives. They might very well become the next Fang Shiming."

"Although He Yin'er isn't quite that extreme, she's also unassuming and doesn't compete for anything, similar to Tong Qian. But Tong Qian is helpful to headquarters. So, Minister Cao, what are your thoughts?"

Liu San's urgent attitude made Cao Yanhua realize the importance of the problem.

Fortunately, headquarters had already prepared for Liu San's problem and was making progress. "Tong Qian mentioned this matter when she came back last night. She also wants to compete for the position of 'Goddess Empress,' and headquarters has already approved it and is making plans to see how to push her into that position."

"That's good. If you need any help, please let me know. I need to go to the Peace Hotel now, and we can talk later."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Liu San naturally had no intention of staying any longer.

Although he rejected Liu Qingqing, it was because Liu Qingqing's attitude was too arrogant, even rude. She completely regarded herself as the hostess of the Peace Hotel and treated him, her "business partner," in the same way.

If Liu Qingqing succeeds, will he still have a good life in the future?

However, Liu Qingqing did not have the courage to falsely convey the "imperial decree," so he had to communicate with the "store manager" in person to avoid offending the "store manager," which would be a loss.

Headquarters in Dajing City.

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yanhua looked at everyone in the conference room.

That's right, he is currently in the meeting, and his close associates Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang, Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, Wei Jing, and others are all present.

Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen were fine, without any negative symptoms, but Cao Yanhua, Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang, and Wei Jing, these four ordinary people, were not in good spirits.

The meeting room was also filled with smoke, clearly indicating that everyone had used a lot of energy-boosting products.

"Liu San has also chosen to support Tong Qian. What are everyone's thoughts?"

Ever since Tong Qian brought back the news last night, and indicated that she wanted to take the "path to godhood" as the "Goddess Empress" route, they have been holding meetings until now.

Clearly, there are still some differences of opinion on whether to support Tong Qian, otherwise the discussion would not have continued until now.

“I still think we should persuade He Yin’er; she’s the truly neutral one. As for Tong Qian, although she’s currently leaning towards us, is that really the truth? Everyone knows that the White Mist Seed of the Peace Hotel is deeply ingrained in the consciousness of every employee, influencing their attitude towards the Peace Hotel. Tong Qian has been an employee for so long, so naturally she also has the White Mist Seed. Is her current apparent inclination towards us just a deception? If she’s leaning towards us now, what kind of inclination will she have at the most crucial moment?” Zhao Jianguo said.

Shen Liang said, "Even if she doesn't take sides, it won't do us any harm. And when she is biased towards us, she can help us gain more benefits and keep headquarters at the forefront."

No one mentions the foolish idea of ​​taking down the Peace Hotel and bringing it under the headquarters' management anymore.

This is a terrifying existence capable of traversing time and space, and even enabling others to do so. The headquarters' strength is so great that they can't even touch its shadow.

Faced with such a vast disparity in strength, headquarters had no better option than to compromise and vie for the position of "second only to the leader." "Have you considered that while Tong Qian may be biased towards us now, could she later, due to her own convictions and sense of justice, side with someone other than us and the Peace Hotel? This possibility is small, but not impossible. If it does occur, it will cause incalculable losses. We cannot afford such a potential cost!"

Zhao Jianguo stood firm, “In comparison, He Yin’er is the truly neutral one. Even in the Peace Hotel, she maintained a detached and unassuming demeanor, which is exactly what we need. We don’t need the ‘God’s’ excessive favoritism; we only need the ‘God’ to remain neutral. With our size, we are more than capable of standing ahead of everyone else. The ‘Goddess’ is the same!”

“You’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Does that mean we shouldn’t use a knife just because it can hurt people? If it’s used properly and with the right methods, then this knife can be of use to us, instead of just throwing the whole knife away or even rendering it useless, as you’re thinking!” Shen Liang didn’t back down either.

After Cao Yanhua became minister, the two of them became strong contenders for the vice ministership, and their ideologies also differed.

One is radical, the other is reserved; only one of them can reach the top.

The others remained silent, seemingly watching the two perform, knowing their argument was doomed to fail and neither could convince the other.

Only when Cao Yanhua raised his hand to signal did the two stop tacitly, waiting for Cao Yanhua's decision.

"Let's contact them tonight and have a chat. We'll discuss the specifics after we've talked."

Clearly, Cao Yanhua hadn't made a final decision yet. "Wei Jing, what are your thoughts now? Judging from the current situation, it's impossible for Ghost Messenger Lao Fan to break free from his 'marriage' with Fang Shiming. This is a benchmark that the shopkeeper has created, unless Fang Shiming continues to lose his mind, which is obviously impossible. If you want to wait any longer... Of course, whatever choice you make, even if it's a change to an administrative position, we will respect your opinion."

After Wei Jing lost the ghost messenger's right hand, he returned to a normal state, which was also due to the "shopkeeper's" mercy.

He still possesses the strength of an ordinary person, but he is no longer a ghost tamer and can no longer rush to the front line.

The gap between ordinary people and vengeful ghosts is too great to be bridged by mere courage. Moreover, Wei Jing had previously made great contributions to the headquarters. After he retires, this clerical position will really just be an ordinary clerical position, and he probably won't even be allowed to do front-line maintenance.

Wei Jing was aware of this, so he had another option, and it wasn't a brainless decision. "I heard that Guo Fan has the opportunity to go to the Year of Gengshen to find his 'other half'. Perhaps I can also find my 'other half' there."

“Okay, now that you have an idea, we will communicate with the Peace Hotel about this.”

The meeting ended there, and Liu San had arrived at the Peace Hotel. He walked in smoothly and saw Liu Qingqing talking to Lin Yuan behind the cashier.

This made Liu San's heart tighten, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss Lin, you asked Xiao Liu to come over and talk to you about the supply."

"Humph!"

Liu Qingqing snorted coldly, turned her head away from him, but did not leave, clearly wanting to hear what Liu San had to say.

Liu San ignored her and continued, "When Xiao Liu came over just now, we were both a bit hot-tempered, so we had a little disagreement, but it's nothing serious..."

"Wait, did you two have a fight? No wonder Xiao Liu was in a bad mood when she came back, but she wouldn't say anything when I asked her." Lin Yuan said in surprise.

Did Liu Qingqing not tattle?
Liu San also looked surprised, seemingly unable to believe that all of this was true, which made Liu Qingqing even more amused and annoyed. "What, do you think I'm such a petty person? Brother Yuan, look!"

"No, no, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Liu San quickly waved his hand. Since Liu Qingqing hadn't reported him, it would be petty of him to continue pursuing the matter.

But the original idea remains unchanged; it just needs time to be put into practice.

What's more important now is the "store manager's" request: "Boss Lin, there are some difficulties with the paper supply. Is it really necessary right now?"

"Yes, I made some unexpected gains when I went to handle Old Zhang's funeral this time. I have more reserves, so I plan to issue more commemorative coins."

The monetary system needs hard currency to support it, and Lin Yuan knew this. But the hard currency for commemorative coins is not gold, but evil spirits!

"Xiaoliu, are you having any trouble?"
