Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Family member issues are problems that will inevitably be encountered; he naturally welcomes students bringing their families to the West Continent, but family members are clearly not suited to enjoy the same treatment the students enjoy on Earth, otherwise the family members' family members would be endless, which would place an enormous burden on the Chen Group — the usual practice is to distinguish between family members and students and redefine treatment accordingly, but judging from the experience of state-owned enterprises, that is actually meaningless; no matter how many restrictions there are when people enter, or what agreements are signed, as time passes, workers who enter through connections will ultimately gain equivalent treatment, whether because leaders relax conditions or family members make a fuss, it is ultimately the logical result of equal pay for equal work, and the burden on state-owned enterprises grows larger and larger because of this.

The West Continent can accommodate a near-infinite number, and family members willing to go to West River City Fortress are also valuable human resources, but the treatment on Earth would involve a great many problems, and Chen Yi does not want to escalate matters because of this.

Qin Dajiang indeed hesitated, and asked: "If my wife goes over, then the issue of my family's employment in Jiangning can't be resolved?"

"Of course." Chen Yi affirmed: "You will still have salaries in the West Continent; if your family members have no jobs, just send money back. Moreover, the jobs the Group arranges won't be anything too good; if the burden isn't heavy, just enjoy the blessings at home. With that much salary each month, would the family's burden be heavy?"

Qin Dajiang smiled embarrassedly and said: "Got used to it……"

"How much can a temporary worker at the Chen Group make per month?" The speaker was Liu Jianzhi, Deputy Captain of Inspection Team 3, considered a representative figure of the West Continent's core combat strength, a graduate of Martial Hall 15th Batch, several months later than the 1st Batch students, yet needing several years to catch up.

"1350 yuan, plus 100 after completing a full year." The answer came from Chen Zhenxing, who had just walked out of the elevator reserved for senior management, right as he heard Chen Yi's promise, and felt extremely displeased.

The Chen Group is not a welfare institution!

However, faced with Chen Yi's blazing gaze, Chen Zhenxing simply could not work up any righteous indignation.

Hai Moran was even more shamelessly lurking behind the CEO, deluding himself that this thin, lanky man could block him. The Light Industry Department had been sold off, and the person who attracted the most curses inside the company was precisely him; several factory directors and several sales general managers came to harass him every day — what could Hai Moran do? He couldn't push the blame onto the CEO, let alone onto Chen Yi, so right now he could only remain silent and silent again……

Unfortunately, Chen Yi's eyes locked onto Hai Moran's lanky frame at once; he patted Qin Dajiang's shoulder and said: "This here is the Chen Group's General Manager; the Light Industry Department that was just sold off was executed by Manager Hai."

Qin Dajiang hurriedly grasped Hai Moran's hand and said loudly: "General Manager, please take care of me in the future."

"Polite, polite." Hai Moran had suffering he couldn't voice; he executed it, but the decision was Chen Yi's.

Starting from Chen Zhenxing, a whole slate of Vice Presidents and Senior Directors all looked at Hai Moran with expressions of sudden realization, thinking to themselves: This time you've exposed yourself, kid; you were only busy currying favor with the new boss, disregarding the employees' lives.

The sold-off Light Industry Department was still operating normally, but in terms of compensation it could by no means be mentioned in the same breath as the Chen Group. Management was even more unwilling to leave. A group that had operated for 20 years had no small number of relatives and connections.

Just then Qin Dajiang continued: "Manager Hai, why did you have to sell the Light Industry Department? Our Martial Hall has so many family members; doing Light Industry work would still be very suitable……"

Hai Moran crushed his silver teeth and swallowed them into his belly, saying mutely: "One slap of the head, and it was sold."

"Ah, what a waste."

Over there the students were still sighing with emotion, while Chen Zhenxing's forehead veins were already throbbing; he asked: "Mr. Chen, that…… the Martial Hall and the Chen Group are, after all, not the same institution……"

"Call me Mr. Chen; Mr. Chen is my dad." Chen Yi cut off his words but gave no answer. In his view there was no need to answer; the Chen Group was worth at most twenty or thirty billion, fundamentally incomparable to the West Continent, therefore the needs of the West Continent's students were the primary satisfaction, the highest priority; never mind that placing some family members wouldn't affect the Group's normal operations, even if it did, a way would have to be found to resolve it.

Chen Zhenxing was blocked by his soft nail, his heart so stifled it nearly exploded, but he could only suppress it, like breathing under a quilt. An official one rank higher crushes you to death, let alone when Chen Yi counts as half a boss.

"Qin Dajiang!" Chen Yi suddenly shouted, startling the management layer.

"Here."

"Everyone return to the hotel and report to Xiongxiong."

"Yes."

"Liu Jianzhi."

"Here."

"Form up and depart; maintain discipline; no independent action allowed."

"Yes." Liu Jianzhi finished speaking and let out a loud roar: "All present, raise your guns for this grandpa, move out!"

Ten people formed a column and walked off with murderous aura soaring.

They had all participated in the West Defense War, at least once in a similar road-building operation or city-encirclement suppression operation — dangerous combat missions; Qin Dajiang's armored vehicle fleet had participated in almost all the battles, otherwise where would they get the capital to vacation on Earth?

Such ten students with lives on their hands, steaming forth like bandits, passing before a group of comfortable white-collar workers, were simply like bloodthirsty tigers, shocking everyone speechless, until the entire group left the building, whereupon nearby company employees finally recovered their working demeanor.

Chen Yi smiled and nodded at the management, saying: "Martial Hall students, just returned from fighting overseas, psychological trauma…… never mind them, let's go to the conference room to discuss work."

Overseas is not a foreign country; for the sake of the beloved Divine Art, language must be watched.

"Discuss work, discuss work is good." The oldest Vice President was just barely 50 years old, sweating profusely; having witnessed the neat display of murderous aura, he felt even boring work had become interesting.

Chen Yi laughed heartily, sat at the head of the long office desk, and said: "First, tell me about the sale of the Light Industry Department. How much was it sold for?"

Hai Moran took out his notebook and said: "Uh…… the Light Industry was split into three parts, sold separately to Dongshan Textile Group……"

"How much?" Chen Yi glanced at his watch, meaning time was tight.

"2.12 billion."

"The Light Industry Department's fixed assets alone are over a billion. The brand and channels didn't fetch any price?" Chen Yi frowned.

"That……" Hai Moran looked at Chen Zhenxing.

The CEO wasn't the executor; he pretended not to see.

Hai Moran decisively said: "The negotiation was handled by Vice President Zhou."

"Vice President Zhou, then you tell it." Chen Yi didn't care about buck-passing.

Vice President Zhou was a northerner in his forties, large face, thick eyebrows; placed in the 80s he would probably have been a little handsome guy. He feigned looking at documents, raised his head, and smiled: "Time is tight, task is heavy; right now the light industry sector is clearly depressed; selling for 2.12 billion is already the highest bid."

China's commerce has just started after all; very few people can produce over a hundred million in cash at once; for this kind of price, Chen Yi had some anticipation. However, he was not familiar with the Group's senior management, so he could only use the most suitable method — hanging a Listening Scroll on himself — and asked: "Then do you think this price is the best price we could obtain?"

Vice President Zhou answered affirmatively: "Yes."

Chen Yi heard his psychology was the opposite answer, so he unhesitatingly cut off Vice President Zhou's explanation and said: "If I give you three more days, can you negotiate a higher price?"

"If you insist on making me negotiate, then I'll certainly do my best." The Vice President spoke very aggrievedly.

The Group's senior management all stared at Chen Yi; they harbored either sinister or dark psychologies, hoping the young man before them would take a big fall, not necessarily driven by interest, purely for entertainment.

Chen Yi's fingers tapped the tabletop twice, and he decided: "Then I'll give you three more days to try to negotiate a better price. Also…… let's put the ugly words up front."

Vice President Zhou sneered inwardly, but his face revealed nothing: "You speak."

"I will notify the Southeast City Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Jiangning Municipal Public Security Bureau to follow up on this merger case. After all, it's a change of over 2 billion in assets, very likely to attract the prying of petty villains; this is also to protect you." Chen Yi finished, and facing the dumbfounded Vice President Zhou said: "You needn't have misgivings; continue to serve boldly and with peace of mind; in the evening I'll have people from the Jiangning Economic Investigation Detachment come see you."

When there's no tiger in the mountains, the monkey becomes king. In today's Chen Group, even the biggest monkey has gone to the Federation of Industry and Commerce; to say Vice President Zhou performs his duties impartially would be untrue; from his angle, negotiating a more-or-less passable price counts as doing right by the company; 2.2 billion without conscience reproach.

But everything fears being put under a microscope. Having been in the enterprise for 20 years, Vice President Zhou truly dare not say he has no problems. Hearing Chen Yi's words, he was both afraid and angry, and simply threw down the burden: "Mr. Chen, I've never dealt with Public Security Bureau people; if you speak like this, then please find someone more capable."

Chen Zhenxing also said, "Mr. Chen, if you do this, your subordinates will be chilled at heart."

Chen Yi let out a hehe smile and said, "Justice resides in people's hearts. Today Chen Group is helmed by me. If you are chilled at heart because of this, you are free to leave. Since we run a company, the point is to make money. Anyone who takes the company's money for nothing is crossing me — they are the ones who chill me first."

His tone turned cold. He looked around and said, "I, Chen Yi, don't understand commerce very well, nor do I understand company management very well, so daily operations still need to be entrusted to Chen Zhenxing. But there is one thing: the work I instruct must be done well. Vice President Zhou..."

"Yes." One speech scared everyone present, Vice President Zhou even more so.

Chen Yi said clearly and flatly, "If you have no problems, or only minor problems, I guarantee your safety. If you previously had major problems, come to me for self-examination and self-correction — I'll leave you a way out. But regardless of whether you have problems or not, the sale of the Light Industry Department, you must do it well for me. Otherwise, you are stealing my money, stealing my father's money, stealing my entire Chen Family's money. Understand?"

"Understand." As Vice President Zhou spoke, sweat trickled down his temples. They knew full well the Chen Family's background.

In fact, aside from not negotiating in good faith, Vice President Zhou merely used company resources to build his own network of favors, and did not embezzle direct benefits. This is something state-owned enterprise management often does — gradual corruption, profiting by indirect means. Although the problem isn't very serious, if escalated, any outcome is possible.

Vice President Zhou knew he had been pinned down by this Chen Yi. The outcome of the sale negotiation would very likely be his own outcome.

What he could guess, the other senior managers could also guess. Some gloated, some worried before the world worried. The chaotic thoughts made Chen Yi, who wore the Listening Scroll, laugh and cry. He had to interrupt everyone's associations and said, "Now the second matter."

"Yes." Everyone imitated Liu Jianzhi's tone, sitting ramrod straight in the conference hall. The previous slackness and slump were nowhere to be seen.

If an outsider walked in, they might think veterans were holding a meeting.

Chen Yi laughed quietly to himself twice, then turned solemn and said, "Just as I said, the Group's concrete operations continue to be the CEO's responsibility. The problems you need to consider next are two. First, sell the PC Department; second, expand and attempt to acquire a Pharmaceutical Company."

If the earlier words were a hand grenade, Chen Yi's two orders now were true shells.

Not only was Chen Zhenxing stunned by the blast, the others were like they had tinnitus — mouths agape, unable to speak.
