Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

"Changlin, do you mean to discuss with Jiang Cheng and share the 50% responsibility?"

Gao Ling asked tentatively.

"What do you think of this idea?"

Gu Changlin asked.

"I think it will not be good in the short term."

Gao Ling scratched his head.

"Because just a few days ago, we just reduced his contribution by one percentage point. If we reduce it again now, everyone will object. Moreover, he has been very motivated recently. He used to hand in four furnaces of elixirs a day, but now he works overtime for several hours every day and hands in five furnaces."

"You're right, that's what I'm worried about."

Gu Changlin frowned.

"Also, the minimum ratio of the alchemists here is 30%, Ding Lei and the others all have this ratio. I think Jiang Cheng is also aware of this. If we reduce his ratio to 20%, it is indeed unreasonable. However, we can let him refine more pills later."

Gao Ling smiled and said:

"Now he makes five furnaces a day, and later he can make six or even seven. If he makes seven furnaces, the daily profit will be 35 million. Even if we have to give half of the profit to the family, there will still be a lot left.

Changlin, I know you are unwilling in your heart, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, you can't go against the family, right? And if you want to take the position of the head of the family in the future, you will also need the support of some of them. "

"I know."

Gu Changlin took a deep breath.

The distribution ratio is not easy to change, and it will not be easy to change for a long time in the future.

Then we can only make a fuss about quantity.

It’s just that Gao Ling said that it took too long.

"By the way, what do you think would happen if we installed a surveillance camera on every alchemist?"

"Isn't this not good?"

Gao Ling's brows were twisted into a shape of "川".
"It's not that the family hasn't done this before, but it caused a huge backlash, and almost no alchemists would agree to it. Besides, other families haven't done this either."

As he spoke, he suddenly realized the other party's intention.

"Changlin, you mean to use surveillance to check Jiang Cheng's alchemy process to see if he has hidden any pills?"

"Yes."

Gu Changlin nodded.

"Do you remember what I told you last time? I think there is a high probability that he secretly hides a bottle of pills every day, or even two bottles."

"I understand."

Gao Ling responded.

Gu Changlin is going to cut down on spending.

Try every possible means to recover some losses.

"I understand. I'll send someone to install it in a few days. But everyone's treatment may need to be improved. Otherwise..."

"Well, go ahead and do it. These people are working for me, and I've paid them well. If anyone has any objections, just kick them out. It'll be a warning to others."

"it is good."

Gao Ling ended the call and took a deep breath.

If Gu Changlin does this, there will definitely be alchemists who can't stand it and will leave here on their own initiative or be poached by other forces.

Fortunately, the profits created by these people are nothing compared to Jiangcheng.

The latter might also have some opinions in his mind, but fortunately he had nowhere to go, not to mention that he had also specifically instructed that once Jiang Cheng was found leaving here, he must be stopped and notified immediately.

Therefore, there is no possibility of any accidents.

……

Time passed, and a few more days passed. If it weren't for the extra Moonlight Pendant that allowed him to improve his proficiency, Jiang Cheng would think that these few days would be no different from the past.

It was not until early this morning, when he had just used the key to open the door of the alchemy room, that he felt that there was something new in the room.

A camera with a small red dot hanging in the northeast corner.

"Was it installed last night?"

Jiang Cheng took a look and then looked away calmly.

But in my heart, I sighed.

With the surveillance of this camera, his plan to refine two more batches of pills for himself every day naturally fell through.

Not only that, the mental energy restored during meditation cannot be used on the visualization picture, otherwise it will be easily discovered.

From then on, he was completely reduced to a tool for alchemy.

In fact, this is still acceptable. The key point is that the other party used a Yuehua pendant worth 200 million yuan to pretend that it was a Qingyu Panlong pendant worth 10 billion yuan and gave it to him.

This makes him look like a sucker.

"I originally wanted to stay here for a while longer, but now it seems that there is no need."

He shook his head and started to make the elixir.

At the same time, this incident also caused quite a stir among other alchemists.

Someone called Gao Ling directly and asked what was going on?

With the latter's comfort and promise of a pay increase, the situation finally calmed down. However, this was only on the surface. Only they themselves knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Time passed quickly and it was already noon.

Jiang Cheng was pulled into a private room by Ding Lei and others and started discussing what happened in the morning.

"No other family has done this, not even other members of the Gu family. It's just that Gu Changlin did this here, which clearly shows that he doesn't trust us." Ding Lei said angrily.

"Isn't it? In name, they gave us a raise, but in reality, everyone understands."

"Brother Jiang Cheng, what do you think?" The woman among the group looked at Jiang Cheng.

Hearing this, the others also looked over.

After all, there are some things that everyone understands.

Among the few people, Jiang Cheng's alchemy skills are the best, and Gu Changlin's actions will cause him the greatest damage.

Therefore, if Jiang Cheng took the lead, Gu Changlin would most likely change his mind and remove all the cameras installed in the room.

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly, "I think it's okay. Although when I was refining the elixir, I felt a little uncomfortable thinking that someone might be watching me through the camera. However, we are all working for others, so there is nothing wrong with them doing this, right?"

Others may not know, but he knows it very well in his heart.

Gu Changlin probably did this just for him.

Ding Lei and his people were just innocent bystanders who were affected by the fire.

Moreover, morally speaking, there is really nothing that Gu Changlin could criticize about installing surveillance cameras.

Just like it's definitely wrong for a cook to steal things from the kitchen.

Several people looked at each other in confusion, feeling a little awkward.

"Yes, that's right."

"Yes, I do feel a little uncomfortable."

"Forget it, we're just grumbling. Come on, let's have a drink together."

They didn't know whether Jiang Cheng was naive or pretending not to know.

But it’s not a good idea to continue talking about it. Maybe Gu Changlin’s spies are here.

The atmosphere in the private room quieted down. (End of this chapter)
