Chapter 806: Chapter 806
Vice Director Li said.
Inflating the price is definitely for mass selling, but for a true treasure like Phoenix Blood Tea, holding onto it while waiting for appreciation is certainly the most profitable.
And since Six Feather Tea House has no debts and isn’t expanding, there’s no urgent need to gather funds, thus no necessity for mass selling of Phoenix Blood Tea.
Excluding other unknown factors, there’s only one possibility left.
Six Feather Tea House has found a new Phoenix, or knows the whereabouts of the Phoenix.
Liu Zheng patted Vice Director Li on the shoulder.
To obtain such important information during casual conversation, Vice Director Li’s ability is evident, but it also reveals how attentive he is to Liu Zheng’s affairs.
"As long as we’re not enemies, I will try my best to be Mr. Liu’s friend."
Vice Director Li said with a smile.
"Since we’re friends, why call me Mr. Liu?"
Liu Zheng frowned intentionally.
Vice Director Li tentatively called out.
"That’s right, Lao Li."
He again gave the other’s shoulder a hearty pat.
"Haha. Should I ask Mani to come down and let you two young folks chat a bit? You’re both busy with work, meeting up in person is pretty rare."
Having exchanged familiar addresses, Vice Director Li spoke more casually.
"No need, love when long and enduring, does not cling to constant companionship. I’m off."
Liu Zheng finished speaking and directly got into a sports car and sped away.
After the sports car drove off, a hunched worm came out of the office building.
It leaned on a cane, walking with difficulty, looking like an old and frail person.
Yet its skin was a fresh green, and its body wasn’t like that of typical alien insects with a shell, but plump, fleshy, appearing somewhat cute.
Vice Director Li greeted respectfully upon its emergence.
The green worm casually nodded.
"Do you think what he said is true?"
It asked, its voice weak.
"It should be true. As Mr. Liu mentioned, he has no reason to deceive us."
Vice Director Li replied.
"An insignificant delivery man’s boasting is so great, yet we can’t refute it, truly pathetic and laughable."
The green worm lamented.
"Those without shoes do not fear those with shoes, employees of the Bloody Restaurant are legally recognized risk-takers, our company members are law-abiding citizens; it’s inevitable to make some compromises for the greater picture."
Vice Director Li comforted.
"Hmm, you are doing quite well. Next month’s personnel meeting, I’ll nominate you as director."
The green worm said with satisfaction.
"Thank you, President Cai."
Vice Director Li was overjoyed.
Although the green worm is not the largest shareholder, it has extensive connections inside the company and widely in political and business circles, holding significant power of speech.
With its nomination, this director position is basically secured.
"What about Wang Manni?"
Vice Director Li asked hesitantly.
"She’s unsuitable, her promotion is too rapid. Unity within the company is also part of the bigger picture."
The green worm shook its head.
"Understood. I’ll do the best to guide."
Vice Director Li said.
"Hmm. However, aside from position promotions, other resources can still be tilted slightly towards her. Oh right, isn’t there an executive capability training class by the mayor soon? Give my spot to Wang Manni, let her attend instead."
The green worm thought and said.
"She’ll definitely be ecstatic."
Vice Director Li said with a hint of envy.
The executive capability training class held by the mayor isn’t just a money-making scheme; those who attend are business elites, taught by professors who excel both in theory and practice. Attending this class means truly having promising prospects.
"Oh right, President Cai, about the bomb Mr. Liu wanted, what do you think?"
He remembered to ask.
"I’ll make a call right now. Blow it up, blow it up hard. Just as long as he doesn’t blow up City Hall, the more places he bombs, the more insignificant we appear. Ke ke ke!"
The green worm laughed maliciously.
Liu Zheng pushed open the lounge door, shouting.
"Look at you smiling like you’ve eaten chicken shit from Napoleon, did the ceremony go well?"
"A tremendous success. Look, my great leader."
He took out the third-grade golden lotus seeds like presenting a treasure.
The radiance swirled, the aura misted, causing Niu Ma’s eyes to squint slightly.
"Damn, no idea what kind of fortune you’ve cultivated to always get such good stuff."
Niu Ma said somewhat enviously.
"High risk, high reward. If you, great leader, went as I do, regardless if you survive, you definitely wouldn’t enjoy hearth and home with wife and kids."
"Hmm, that’s true. Forget it, this fortune is yours to cultivate."
Niu Ma extinguished the little bit of ambition it had stirred up.
"Don’t sleep yet, great leader, help me make a call to the boss."
"You’ve been summoned by the boss so many times and still don’t have her number?"
"Nope. You’re the department head after all; whether I want to seek the boss or the boss wants to summon me, I can’t bypass you."
"Hmm, that’s true. First, tell me what you’re up to."
If Liu Zheng suddenly proposed something excessive, it too would have to face the consequences.
"I want to borrow some fire from the boss."
He told Niu Ma about the deal with the Tomb Guardian.
"For fire it’s easy, just buy a few tons of gasoline and burn him with it."
Apart from Si Xue and Oynk, Niu Ma’s attitude towards other bosses was more casual.
"But I can’t be too careless with quality. Great leader, help me out~"
"Stop, stop, that’s too disgusting. I’m no Britain, not interested in males. Okay, I’ll help you call, truly owed you in a past life."
"Heh heh, thank you, great leader."
Under his watch, Niu Ma reluctantly called Si Xue.
"Boss, sorry to bother you."
"It’s not me, the newcomer has something for you."
"Okay, I’ll send him to see you right away."
Niu Ma nodded and bowed while finishing the call.
After hanging up, it let out a long breath.
"All because of you kid, made me break out in cold sweat."
"Thanks for the effort. But great leader, why are you so afraid of the boss? I feel she’s quite easy to talk to."
Liu Zheng asked curiously.
"That’s because you’re useful, but such utility itself comes with enormous risk, just like dead soldiers. No leader would be unreasonable to their own dead soldiers."
"Being useful is better than useless."
"Let me see how useful you can remain, hmph!"
Niu Ma ignored him again.
"I’m off to see the boss."
Liu Zheng smiled and left the lounge.
Upon reaching the intersection, the elevator unsurprisingly was already waiting for him.
"Good afternoon, elevator brother."
Liu Zheng entered the elevator and greeted it. The source of this content ɪs NovєlFіre.net
The elevator shook in response.
"I brought some drinks and desserts from Unlucky Coffee back, but in the rush I didn’t bring them. If you need them just shake twice, I’ll bring them next time."
Though offering drinks and desserts to an elevator sounds abstract, this is Metropolis, where everything is possible.
The elevator shook once, evidently indicating no need.
"Alright then. What a pity."
When it should be abstract, it isn’t, which is also a hallmark of Metropolis.
The elevator door opened, and he once again arrived at Si Xue’s office.
