Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 478: Revealing the past and planning for the future
"Chu Lan, do you know how many temporary workers like Baoer there are in the company?"

"I don't know, please tell me, Fourth Brother."

"Northeast China, North China, Central China, East China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China, seven major regions in the domestic mainland, seven temporary workers."

"There are seven regions and so many aliens in the world, but only seven temporary workers are handling alien activities in each region? They are in a lowly position but have great power."

"That's not the case. The temporary worker system was proposed by the old man when he and other directors reorganized the company. He also specifically notified the ten leaders of the alien world, and the meaning was very clear. Now we are entering the 21st century, and the alien world has finally been pacified after the war and the chaos. In fact, our company does not encourage the alien world to practice the law of the jungle.

But we also know that you don't want to be managed by us directly. Okay, we respect your world of aliens and won't interfere in your private affairs. You also cooperate with our company. We can't control all of your nature. But if there are aliens in the self-proclaimed righteous schools, families, and clans, please be more aware of it and download the alien social software 'Nadutong' and register your own alien identity.

Then, each region will set up a temporary worker. In most cases, the company and the alien forces in each region will not interfere with each other, but if aliens commit crimes or fight each other, the company will send temporary workers to visit the alien sects and families in their own region one by one. At this time, you have to cooperate with the temporary workers and explain everything you know.

Otherwise, if the temporary workers go wrong in handling such incidents, such as causing injuries or deaths to ordinary people, or if something happens to the temporary workers themselves, then the good and evil forces in your region will have to fend for themselves. "

Zhang Chulan and his friends arrived at the company's headquarters building at the agreed time and sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.

Xu Si was talking at length about the impact of the company's temporary worker system on the alien world.

Simply put, the temporary workers in each region do not necessarily have to be very strong and capable, they are just public cameras placed by the company in the alien world.

The aliens in your major regions have caused some trouble, and we need to know the cause and effect. Don't worry about how to deal with it for now, but we need to know what happened.

If you let our company know nothing, don't blame us for taking strong action when the time comes.

The company launched the alien social software 'Nadutong' and the temporary worker system, which is to leave a transit and easing space between the two parties without directly managing the alien world.

Anyone who is ignorant enough to demolish this space will be responsible for any consequences that arise.

From the introduction of the temporary worker system in the early 1990s to today, there is nothing that the company is not aware of, no matter how big or small the events that have occurred in the alien world are.

Xu San, who was sitting nearby, also added: "By the way, the day after the temporary worker plan was approved by the company and the Ten Boss had no objection, Baoer appeared in front of the old man. Otherwise, according to the old man's idea at the time, one of us brothers would have to be a temporary worker, and the other would be the person in charge of the North China region."

What Xu San meant was that someone had known about the temporary worker system launched by Xu Xiang for a long time, and arranged for Feng Baobao to appear in front of Xu Xiang and let her work as a temporary worker in the North China region.

Zhang Chulan could understand the subtext of this statement, but his attention was now drawn to the photo wall hanging on the company's headquarters building.

There is nothing interesting about the photo wall, it is just the history of the company's founding.

The first photo was of the familiar old man Xu Xiang, a kindly fat old man and several strangers of about the same age or younger taking a group photo in front of the company's headquarters building at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The time was New Year's Day in 90.

Following is the group photo of the establishment of each regional branch.

But what Zhang Chulan noticed was that where the photo of Mr. Xu Xiang when he first founded the company was hung, there was a mark in front of it that did not match the color of the surrounding walls.

The size is just right for putting a photo in it, which means that there should be a photo that has been hanging in front of Mr. Xu Xiang for a long time, and it is a very old one, but for some reason it was taken down and has not been put up yet.

"Third and fourth brothers, are you familiar with the leaders and temporary workers of other regions?"

"Except for East China, Central China, and South China, I am not familiar with the rest and have never met them."

"Northeast, northwest and southwest? They are all bordering the border... When can we meet Mr. Xu?"

"I don't know. Let's wait for someone to come and notify us. The old man convenes meetings with the heads of various regions and temporary workers one by one. It's rare for everyone to hold meetings together."

Just as Zhang Chulan and the others were waiting patiently, Meng Duoduo, a temporary worker from the Northwest region, and Gao Erzhuang, a temporary worker from the Northeast region, accompanied their great-grandfather Meng Del and passed by behind them. This old man, who had become the core group of Wang Yisitong Company during the Republic of China period and was the first generation to advance the school of beast division to that of biological division, also tilted his head to glance at Zhang Chulan who was staring at the mark on the photo wall, and then slowly walked into the elevator.

By the time Zhang Chulan reacted, Lao Meng and the others were nowhere to be seen.

On the conference room floor of the company's headquarters, the six directors of the company's top management, including Zhao Fangxu and Xu Xiang, were all present and were also complaining.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, what's the matter that warrants you calling us back? The negotiations with Continental Group and Behemoth Consortium in the United States are almost done."

Director Huang Boren has an unknown background. He has both the mercenary side of a businessman and a ruthless heart. He is responsible for connecting with foreign affairs.

"Okay, Old Huang, why are you talking about this? It's just the same two points. Our people are interfering with them to keep an eye on those guys who left us back then, and their people are interfering with us to find out what new things we have come up with so that they can sabotage or steal them."

"Hey, it's a back-and-forth, you attack and I defend, isn't this normal operation? Besides, with you here, even if their people get in, they'll have to get past you, the gate god."

The director named Bi who responded to Director Huang Boren is called Bi Youlong. Bi Youlong is not his real name, but because of his military background, grassroots origin, and long-term responsibility for the underground front, Bi Youlong has become his real name.

The business he is in charge of within the company tends to be in the alien world and other secretive businesses, the details of which are unknown.

"Lao Bi, Lao Huang, you two always quarrel every time you meet. Why don't you say less? Aren't all the people here? Lao Zhao, why don't you start today's topic?"

The director who spoke as peacemaker was a fat, middle-aged man with a kind heart. His surname was Fei and his name was Fei Yanggu.

He is a smooth-talking person, and the business he is in charge of is unknown, but it is closely related to the alien world.

"We're still missing Old Xu. He should still be having one-on-one meetings with the regional leaders. He called all the temporary workers here. I'm afraid some problems have occurred to the guys in the Northwest, Southwest, and Northeast regions again."

"That can't be possible. These three regions were swept by the old Heavenly Master and the one in the north and the one in the south. It's only been half a century, and they are causing trouble again? The old Heavenly Master will not come down the mountain easily, but if there is trouble in these places, he doesn't mind taking a trip, and we have no reason to stop him."

The person who spoke was the only female among the six directors of the company. Her surname was Su, and her full name was unknown. She was about the same age as Zhao Fangxu and Xu Xiang.

The specific responsibilities are unknown.

"Hey, are you all here? I'm almost done here, so you can leave my two kids for last and finish the things here first."

As he was talking, Xu Xiang opened the door and walked in with Meng Deer, the first generation of the company's predecessor. Seeing that Meng Deer, an elder who had retired for many years, had come here, the four directors also stood up hurriedly, and their faces changed.

"Mr. Meng?"

"Mr. Meng, why are you here too? Please let us know about this matter. We will definitely not hide anything about the meeting. I will send it to you for your review."

"Don't be so nervous. When I retired, I said I wouldn't care about these things anymore. I just like to go to the park with that old guy Zi Zhong to watch birds, play chess and take a walk when I'm free. This time, my precious great-granddaughter is here too, so I'm here to take a walk with her. Don't mind me, I'm just here to listen in. Fang Xu, where should I sit?"

"You can sit anywhere, old man. Now that everyone is here, please take a seat."

Seeing Xu Xiang bringing Mendel, the first generation elder, in, Zhao Fangxu raised his hand and waved, and the door closed automatically without wind. Zhao Fangxu also sat in the first seat, pushed his glasses, and stood in front of him with his hands crossed.

Seeing that Zhao Fangxu and Xu Xiang had invited Mendel, the first-generation elder, the four directors understood that the current meeting topic was closely related to the future of the extraordinary world and the secular circle, so they all sat up straight.

"Everyone, we all know that today's Nadutong is actually the product of compromise and reconstruction by all parties back then. You are part of me and I am part of you. We all have our own positions and reasons, but the bottom line cannot be changed. Whoever dares to touch the bottom line will be destroyed by me, no matter who it is. This was the consensus when the company was first established.

We are all waiting for the time of change, and now it seems that the signs of the time of change have arrived, so our topic today is - the Eight Wonders."
-
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu is already waiting for you in the office upstairs."

"Hey, it's our turn? The old man is really busy. He always puts us last. Chu Lan, Baoer, let's go."

I don't know how long I sat in the lobby on the first floor. When I heard the secretary coming over to deliver a message, Xu Si stood up first, stretched, and called for Zhang Chulan to follow.

With a nervous mood, Zhang Chulan was thinking about what questions to ask Xu Xiang next. He got into the elevator and came to the office floor where Xu Xiang was.

As soon as he pushed open the door of Xu Xiang's office, he saw Xu Xiang already waiting for him there. In the office, Zhao Fangxu was with Xu Xiang.

"Boss Zhao, you're here too, so should we two brothers step aside for a while?"

"Xu Si, stop pretending here. Since I'm here with Old Xu, you still can't guess the reason. Close the door. We two old guys can also help you solve some of the problems in your mind so that you won't feel depressed."

"How could that be? My Xu Si's principle in dealing with things has always been that if it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, so as not to annoy yourself to death."

"You are such a smooth talker. Old Xu, you go ahead and tell the story. I will be responsible for supplementing it."

After complaining about the junior Xu Si, Zhao Fangxu also sat down on the sofa, but his eyes were always on Zhang Chulan.

However, Xu Xiang still looked like a kind old man and pointed at the sofa.

"Sit down, Chu Lan. I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, such as why it was you, what did your grandfather and his group do with Master and Uncle Zhang back then... and the latest question is, what photo was hung here?"

As he spoke, Xu Xiang turned over the computer screen in front of him, showing the scene of Zhang Chulan staring at the photo wall in the lobby on the first floor of the company.

Zhang Chulan didn't expect that since he stepped into the company's headquarters building, his every move was monitored by Xu Xiang, or he knew it but did it on purpose.

Seeing Zhang Chulan's calm look, Xu Xiang knew it was the latter.

He didn't expose her, but just stood up and went to his bookshelf to look through it.

Soon, Xu Xiang came with a framed photo, and stroked it carefully, his eyes moistening, before handing it to Zhang Chulan.

This is a black and white photo. The background of the photo is a business company with a plaque with six big words "Sicheng Logistics Company" written on it.

The photo shows a group of people, including foreigners, old and young, and Zhang Chulan's eyes are focused on the short-haired young man in a long gown in the center of the photo.

Xu Xiang also stretched out his finger and pointed at where Zhang Chulan's gaze was focused.

"This is what Master looked like when he was young. The two people next to him are an old man and a young man in military uniforms. I think you should have guessed their identities from the story Uncle Zhang told you on Mount Longhu. I remember it was taken in the 17th year of the Republic of China."

"Is this Senior Wang Yi? I didn't expect him to look like this when he was young, ordinary... Wait?"

He was feeling moved that he had finally seen the true face of Wang Yi, the legendary figure who was shrouded in mystery by his master and other elders, but he suddenly realized that there was something wrong in Xu Xiang's words just now.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Xiang, who was smiling at him, and Zhao Fangxu, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea calmly. The answer he got from asking Tian Jinzhong on Longhu Mountain also echoed in his mind.

'Senior Brother Wang Yi naturally founded a school and has successors. As for what the school is called and who the successors are, you have to discover it yourself.'

"Master, Uncle Zhang..."

"Yes, I am one of the disciples accepted by the master back then. However, there was a senior brother and a second uncle before me. I was accepted by the master when the country was founded. Old Zhao is less fortunate than me. Although he knew the master and Uncle Zhang earlier than me, his physique is so weak that even the great cultivation of the master and Uncle Zhang is weak. After practicing for most of his life, he can only do one move, the Split the Air Palm."

"What are you talking about? That's called the Sky-Splitting Handprint! And I have an Uncle Zhang more than you do. Do you understand the value of the two top masters in the alien world cleaning my bones and marrow?"

When Zhao Fangxu heard Xu Xiang, his old friend who had supported each other since childhood, mocking him in this way, he was also puffing his beard and glaring, muttering to himself that the Air-Splitting Palm and the Air-Splitting Seal were not the same thing.

Before Zhang Chulan could digest the news, Xu Xiang also threw out the second one.

"The second thing I can tell you is that, yes, I do know A Wu. Not only me, but Old Zhao has also heard me talk about him. I have known A Wu since 44, which is the year that the alien world calls the Jiashen Rebellion."

!!!

Although they were prepared in their hearts, when Xu Xiang told them the time when he knew Feng Baobao, Zhang Chulan and the brothers Xu San and Xu Si were struck by lightning. They looked at Feng Baobao who was sitting there quietly, seemingly confused.

Looking at her unchanged face, that calm expression without a trace of surprise, it is impossible to associate her actual age with it.

"That master said at the Dragon Tiger Mountain that he knew Sister Bao'er's old man. Master Xu, you also called Sister Bao'er A Wu, Wu Gensheng, Feng Yao, Feng Baobao..."
