Chapter 108 A thousand thoughts

He Mingyuan is also an expert who observes his words, and immediately noticed Yang Lu's strange reaction, He thought that Yang Lu had found something wrong, and hurried forward to ask for instructions: "Consultant Yang, is there any problem with this roster?"

"There is no problem, it's just..."

Having said that, Yang Lu spread out the roster on the long Lingmu case in front of him, pointed to one of the names and asked, "This newsboy named Shen Xiaotao has also been interviewed by you in the past two days?"

The underclass of Seacliff City has few serious names.

It's just that Seacliff City is based on ocean trade. The local poor children and orphans often have names like Xiaotao and Xiaobo, which are somewhat similar to Earth's Wang Mazi and Zhang Gouyu. It is said that in the Tianshu mountain range area ruled by the Shanying faction, due to the rampant monster beast, the poor at the bottom even use the common monster beast to name their children.

He Mingyuan was also a little puzzled when he heard Yang Lu's question:

Is there any deep meaning behind Yang Lu's sudden mention of this newsboy?

He didn't dare to neglect at all, he quickly used his brain to recall, and soon dived light flashed: "I remember, this newsboy is indeed the person I interviewed with my own eyes. He is from a poor family. , I have never been to school since I was a child, but I learned to read by myself by selling newspapers, and my mind is very bright, and my family background is relatively innocent... Consultant Yang, is there something wrong with this person?"

There is nothing wrong with this person. .

But Yang Lu vaguely remembered that after the conflict at Seacliff Pavilion, Zhu Zhiming had arranged for the local hooligans to take revenge on him. At that time, there was a small newsboy who had a good relationship with Murong. At the risk of being interrupted by the Zhu Family henchman, he took the initiative to tell Murong the important news, and the newsboy's name was Shen Xiaotao.

Although this news did not play a role, Yang Lu still has a good impression of this righteous friend.

It's a pity that Yang Lu had not officially joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at that time. Even if he wanted to thank the enthusiastic people, he had no time to spare. He just sighed "the simple and bottom-level working people" and it was gone. , did not take this matter seriously.

didn't expect This person was actually favored by He Mingyuan and became a candidate for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce management trainee.

Since this newsboy has a good character, he casually instructed He Mingyuan: "This person, please recruit me first."

This unquestionable order, let He Mingyuan was quite surprised.

Although Yang Lu is essentially the same as He Mingyuan, he is a migrant worker for Li Qingning, but Yang Lu has no self-consciousness as a migrant worker, but treats the Qingning Chamber of Commerce as his own business. , even Li Qingning himself is so acquiescent.

If you don't know the inside story, you might think that Yang Lu and Li Qingning are the relationship between Boss and Lady Boss!

It is precisely because of this that although Consultant Yang has a high position, he has never blatantly asked for benefits for himself. After all, no serious boss who runs a company will dig his own corner. hand , it hurts to be idle!

Speaking of which seriously, this is the first time He Mingyuan has seen Yang Lu expressly open the back door.

Hearing this, He Mingyuan immediately became energetic:

It is our honor to be a subordinate to help the leader open the back door!

But the question is, if Shen Xiaotao was really a relationship household arranged by Consultant Yang, why did Consultant Yang wait until he saw his name. Just remembered to mention this? But if he is not a related household of Consultant Yang, why did Consultant Yang request him to be recruited separately?

He Mingyuan didn't know, Yang Lu was just saying it casually.

Although he was very suspicious, he didn't dare to inquire about Yang Lu's private affairs if he lent He Mingyuan some courage.

So he cautiously asked, "Uh... Consultant Yang, do I need to hide this from Eldest Young Lady Qingning?"

Yang Lu didn't take it as a serious matter at all. He said casually: "You can do it yourself! The biggest problem of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is the lack of business backbones. The most important thing for you is to train some new people you can trust as soon as possible. Do it well, don't cheat. I will randomly check your teaching results from time to time!"

He Mingyuan said in a serious tone: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Yang Lu threw the recruitment regulations back to He Mingyuan, and then kneaded After rubbing his dark circles, he said, "You will be responsible for the recruitment. I have other things to do, so I won't see you off!"

After He Mingyuan bowed and saluted, Qingning There was only Yang Lu left in the Chamber of Commerce. Looking at the mountains of documents on his desk, he couldn't help but feel a little worried:

It will take at least ten days for half a month to go to Tianshu City. For such a long time, I don't know how much the backlog will be. Official business!

He misses Murong so much now.

Even if Murong can't help herself with official duties, it's fine to press her shoulders!

Although Eldest Young Lady Li is beautiful and kind, the arm-flinging shopkeeper is too unrestrained. Now the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is saying that the president of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is not Li at all. Qingning, but his Yang advisor!

Many people think of management as simple.

However, as long as you have personally done management work, you will know that even if it is a unit with only three administrative levels and a total number of several hundred people, the problems of management can be described as a myriad of threads. even more how Yang Lu manages the Qingning Chamber of Commerce with thousands of people!

This is not to mention the grass-roots miners who are not working in Luanshicheng Mine, and the temporary laborers who are responsible for logistics and transportation.

Even if he sends a blank form to ask for basic personal information of Chamber of Commerce employees, such as name, age, home address, name of immediate family members, marital status, etc., even Yang Lu gave him a template to fill in. , the remarks also clearly stipulate that those relatives belong to the immediate family, and the managers of the major branches are required to fill in and return them on time.

As simple as that, I will receive numerous letters in the next few days:

"Consultant Yang, should you fill in the residential address or the actual residential address? "

"I run business back and forth between two cities, should I fill in both, or only one?"

"Age is a false age or a full year?"

"I'm an orphan, I can't remember the date of my birth, can I just leave it empty?"

"One of our employees' father passed away, and I can't get in touch when I go home for funerals, can I? Delay submitting the form for two days?"

These Chamber of Commerce employees did not deliberately make trouble, but when Yang Lu assigned tasks as a leader, it was impossible to think about everything, which led to the task being carried out, naturally There will be an endless stream of problems, and the people below dare not make decisions for the leader casually, so no matter how trivial things are, he needs to decide.

This is the pain of being a dictator!

If you want people below you to make decisions independently, you have to take the risk of losing control. You have to decide everything by yourself. Even if you understand everything, there are so many things that you can be exhausted. Immeasurable Sword Sect so rigidly engaged in "the rule of law Central Plains", in fact, there is no way.

These kinds of problems are difficult to handle even in Earth with phone calls, WeChat, emails, and EXCEL.

In the Nine Provinces cultivation world, the thirty branches of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce in the Central Plains southeast part alone span more than 4,000 kilometers. Use Spiritual Qi as a valuable strategic resource.

Fortunately, the illiteracy rate in the Nine Provinces cultivation world is not high, and the social organization is stronger than the traditional ancient agricultural society. The ordinary staff of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can at least read and hyphenate words. Not sure how to work.

When overwhelmed by the management of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Yang Lu admires certain novel protagonists.

These protagonists obviously have no experience in management, but after traveling to another world, with the battle strength of invincible in the whole world, they can easily command the forces of hundreds of millions of people.

Their subordinate brain circuits are also very simple, either obediently and honestly accept the lead of the protagonist, even if they are dissatisfied, they will only launch an armed rebellion, and management is as simple as playing a game. Like the most troublesome dictators are stealing, cheating, vegan meals, prevarication, deception, outward devotion but inner opposition, favoritism, cheating, non-violence and non-cooperation, all these problems do not exist...

Although Yang Lu discovered He Mingyuan, an independent General from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, and the several cronies He Mingyuan cultivated in the Sunset City branch are very capable, but Yang Lu also impossible not to impose checks and balances, let He Mingyuan This line of people is in full control.

It was precisely because Yang Lu was so overwhelmed with his daily work that he immediately started recruiting for the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Putting the recruitment regulations aside for now, Yang Lu picked up another of materials. This material was also handed in by He Mingyuan, and the main content is a phased summary of the case of the Xuantie Mine in Luanshicheng.

Looking at the name of Ji Sihan, the director of the Xuantie Mine, Yang Lu couldn't help but ponder.

The management team of Luanshicheng Mine led by Director Ji has defended the corruption case so that not one drop of water can leak out, and even the investigation led by He Mingyuan has been repeatedly frustrated. This action ability can be said to be quite Tough, and the relationship between the two is now incompatible as fire and water, if anyone within the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has the ability to check and balance He Mingyuan, it is undoubtedly this person. It's just that Ji Sihan may have fled to the island, which makes Yang Lu somewhat beyond his reach.

The outlying islands are a well-known lawless place in the Nine Provinces cultivation world, and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce has almost zero influence on the outlying islands. It is a bit unreliable to go to outlying islands to arrest people by taking risks. a feeling of.

even more how, the situation on the outlying islands seems to be a little turbulent recently.

According to "cultivation Financial Weekly", Cloudfire Prefecture forces began to infiltrate the outlying islands a few months ago, and the Immeasurable Sword Sect also responded immediately and began to intervene in the outlying islands to try to thwart Cloudfire Prefecture's plot. The forces they support have had multiple rounds of confrontation, which has made the situation in the entire region more turbulent. Although the Immeasurable Sword Sect stated that the situation on the outlying islands is still stable and the plot of the Divine Fire Sect will never succeed, Yang Lu always feels that things are not so simple...

Yang Lu thought about it for a while, and decided to put it aside in advance .

Now that he has just stepped into the gate of immortality, the most important thing is the issue of cultivation. Anyway, he has a plug-in for cultivation, and he usually does not need to retreat and recite scriptures like ordinary cultivators. As long as he lives long enough, this kind of management The problem can be solved sooner or later!

Compared to the problems of Chamber of Commerce management, the problems of cultivation are much simpler.

With the open-and-hanging technology of the cultivation in the dream, Yang Lu has successfully broken through to the Qi Refinement level in the past two days, which is exactly the same as the cultivation progress predicted by the data panel of the dream world, and there is almost no error.

When Yang Lu successfully advanced to the first level of Qi Refinement, the personal panel of his dream world also changed accordingly:

Specify cultivator: Yang Lu

cultivation realm: Qi Refinement 1st floor

Cultivation progress: 0% (+3%)

Heavenly Dao merit: 12115/40000 (+112), a golden wheel of merit

Estimated remaining advanced time: twenty Nine Heavens

cultivation life essence: The initial life essence is eighty-three years, and the life essence has been increased for two years, and the life essence has been consumed for twenty years and ten years. Month and six days, the remaining life essence is sixty-fourth January and twenty-four days.

……

Obviously, not only has his cultivation realm improved, but even Heavenly Dao’s merit has also slightly improved.

It's a pity that Yang Lu can't check the source of his Heavenly Dao merit through his personal panel.

So he still doesn't know whether the extra Heavenly Dao merit was brought by the management of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, or by Spirit Stone Reserve Bank, or by helping the old grandma to cross the road.

After reaching guiding qi into the body realm, Yang Lu also learned several very practical basic spells from Li Qingning.

Among them are the [greater teleportation] used to carry items, [Lion's Roar] used as a human speaker, and the basic spell [divine movement] used to hurry.

For low-level cultivators who do not have spatial flight, Divine Walk is the most commonly used spell.

After performing Divine Walk, Yang Lu felt like his body had been strengthened by some kind of mysterious power, gaining endless physical strength. No matter how fast he runs, he won't feel fatigued, if you use a visual analogy, it's like he suddenly has an invisible outer skeleton device.

The Tianshu area is adjacent to the Haiya area. The straight-line distance between the two main cities is not far, only more than 300 kilometers. Under the circumstance of his full use of magic, it only takes three or four days. Enough to reach Tianshu City.

Of course, Divine Movement is just a transitional spell. If his cultivation base reaches the fourth layer of Qi Refinement, he can control the spatial flight of the light, even the slowest one, and the distance of trifling is hundreds of kilometers. It can also be done in the morning.

Li Qingning originally wanted to take Yang Lu to Tianshu City to see the world in person. However, the Seacliff City Great Immortal Ascension Assembly has just ended, and the overseas trade of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is about to resume. If Li Qingning and Yang Lu both leave the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, no one in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will be able to make decisions.

No matter how big Li Qingning's heart is, it is impossible to let He Mingyuan, a guy with a criminal record, make the decision.

While Li Qingning stayed at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Steward Zhou also impossible left his Eldest Young Lady in Seacliff City and ran to Tianshu City outside several hundred li to Yang Lu. Be a bodyguard.

Fortunately, Xu Yannan also knew that Yang Lu had many enemies, so he specially Sect Yang Lu's Eldest Senior Brother, the real "Meishan Sabrewielder" Chen Ping, and escorted him to Tianshu City. .

Chen Ping has been in Xianmen for nearly ten years, but the cultivation realm only has trifling Qi Refinement 7th Layer.

This is mainly because his spirit root aptitude is relatively poor, and his academic research has been reduced to the point where he has to hire a gunman to ghostwrite. If it is not for the "money ability" endowed by his family, it is impossible for him to become a rising star in cultivation economics. Xu Yannan's door.

Xu Yannan can't take Chen Ping as a recipe either.

Even if he is very knowledgeable, he still needs to have a good meal!

However, the banknote ability is also a kind of ability, and sometimes it is even more useful than other abilities.

The Seacliff City Chen Family, as one of the richest people in the Seacliff Department, is second only to the Seacliff Department Four Great Families in terms of banknote capacity. Although the Chen Ping cultivation base is mediocre, there are no magic weapons, medicine pills, and talismans. One is not top quality.

According to Li Qingning, if Chen Ping does his best, he can crush Li Wen, the late Qi Refinement killer who listened to Heyu Pavilion. As long as Yang Lu acts in a low-key manner, there is this Senior Brother Chen. It was more than enough to be his bodyguard.

The next morning, Yang Lu was ready to set off.

After saying goodbye to Li Qingning and Xu Yannan and the others, Yang Lu packed up a few clothes that he usually changed, carefully locked the book "The Infinite Heart Sutra - From Beginner to Mastery", and then went from the sea. Ya Bank issued ten bearer checks for 10,000 Origin Spirit Stone Coins, and then handed over the business of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to Li Qingning and He Mingyuan respectively.

In the presence of Li Qingning, Yang Lu and Chen Ping gathered outside the Seacliff City city gate, and then went straight to Tianshu City along the slate official road paved by Seacliff City.
