Chapter 739: Do you think I can replace you?

The moment Xu Tian's voice fell, the door to the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Xiaoxiao, A Biao, and the others walked in with their heads held high.

"Brother Yi." Chen Xiaoxiao walked to Xu Tian's side and bowed slightly to greet him.

"Hello, Brother Yi!" A Biao and the others had also been instructed by Chen Xiaoxiao, so they called Xu Tian "Brother Yi" both in front of and behind his back.

The high-level members in the conference room showed strange expressions on their faces when they saw Chen Xiaoxiao and the others, not knowing Xu Tian's intention in calling these people over.

"Lord Wolf King, this is a high-level meeting. It's not a place where just any cat or dog can mix in. You let them in to attend the meeting; what kind of decorum is this?" the wrinkled old man was the first to provoke.

"I have my reasons for letting them in." Xu Tian's gaze swept over the high-level members one by one and finally landed on the wrinkled old man.

"These people are the young power I mentioned to revitalize the Azure Wolf Hall. Their strength has been recognized by me, and I think they also meet the standards for recruiting people for the Azure Wolf Hall. I have decided to let them enter headquarters to work."

"Which department are you in now? What is your position?" Xu Tian asked the wrinkled old man.

"I belong to the Liaison Department of the Azure Wolf Hall and am the Minister of the Liaison Department," the wrinkled old man said in a deep voice.

"Oh." Xu Tian turned his head to look at Chen Xiaoxiao upon hearing this. "Xiaoxiao, do you want to go to the Liaison Department?"

"Yes." Chen Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Very good, then from now on, you will work in the Liaison Department," Xu Tian said lightly.

"Thank you, Brother Yi!" Chen Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

"Wait!" the wrinkled old man said unhappily. "Lord Wolf King, how can the placement of internal staff in our Azure Wolf Hall be so sloppy? The Liaison Department is a very important department within our organization. Every member has their own duties, and one move affects the whole body. Now we don't have any vacant positions for her to join!"

"No positions left?" Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly. "As an old comrade, you should take the initiative to give opportunities to newcomers. How about this, let her take over your position."

Xu Tian didn't wait for the wrinkled old man to refute and made the final decision.

"I now announce that starting today, Chen Xiaoxiao will take over the position of Minister of the Liaison Department."

Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with brightness when she heard this. She clenched her fists quietly and promised Xu Tian in front of everyone.

【739-19】 (Note: Merged with 739-18 for flow.)

"Brother Yi, I will definitely not let down your trust."

On Wuji Island, an ordinary attendant in the Azure Wolf Hall had a more promising future than a Secret Guard Commander of the Tang family, not to mention that Xu Tian had now appointed her as the Minister of the Liaison Department.

Chen Xiaoxiao had been discriminated against quite a bit. Too many people told her, "You can't do it; you can only stay in the Tang family because of Tang Bingyan's protection. With your qualifications, you simply cannot handle the position of Secret Guard Commander."

"You shouldn't be fighting and killing; you should find a man to marry and raise children."

But Chen Xiaoxiao was not reconciled. She didn't believe in fate and didn't accept it. Even if she fell from a Secret Guard Commander to an ordinary secret guard, she did her duty and didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Until Tang Bingyan went missing and the Tang family was controlled by Tang Jihuai and Gu Beicheng, she left the Tang family and had no place to live, with a bleak future.

Chen Xiaoxiao had originally thought she would live the rest of her life in a daze, but she didn't expect her second chance to be given to her by Xu Tian.

This time, she would definitely not let down Xu Tian's trust, would definitely make some achievements in the Azure Wolf Hall, and would find the whereabouts of the Young Lady for Xu Tian as soon as possible.

Amidst the strange looks from everyone in the conference room, Chen Xiaoxiao walked straight to the wrinkled old man, grabbed his collar, pushed him aside, and sat in his seat herself.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, leaving everyone present stunned.

The Liaison Department of the Azure Wolf Hall emphasized interpersonal connections, so this department didn't have high requirements for martial force. Usually, it only needed to do some non-dangerous work such as negotiation and liaison.

Coupled with the fact that after the Wolf King went missing, these branch ministers dominated within the organization, had no sense of crisis, and their physical fitness had declined significantly.

Even if Chen Xiaoxiao's strength couldn't be considered top-tier on Wuji Island, it was still easy to deal with a useless old man with no strength.

"Presumptuous! You are too presumptuous!" The wrinkled old man almost couldn't catch his breath. He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly at Xu Tian, "Lord Wolf King, even if you are the leader, you should follow the rules of the Azure Wolf Hall. I founded the Liaison Department; no one can replace my position!"

"That's right! Can the leader act willfully? How can the rotation of ministers be child's play?"

【739-35】 (Note: Merged with 739-34 for flow.)

"Wolf King, you are really too out of line this time!"

Immediately, the high-level members of the Liaison Department and those who had a good relationship with Elder Wrinkled spoke up one after another to oppose Xu Tian's decision.

Xu Tian let them argue endlessly until the voices gradually subsided, and then he said coldly.

"Do you still know that I am the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall?"

Everyone was stunned, and the conference room instantly became silent.

"What does leader mean? Don't you understand?" Xu Tian's gaze gradually became sharp. He stared at Elder Wrinkled and said word by word, "Get this straight: it's not that you founded the Liaison Department, but that I founded the Azure Wolf Hall, and only then did you have the opportunity to become the head of the Liaison Department."

"The entire Azure Wolf Hall is mine. Do you think I can replace you?"

Xu Tian's words left the wrinkled old man speechless.

Xu Tian looked at the others again and continued while they were shocked.

"It seems I have been away from managing the internal affairs of the Azure Wolf Hall for too long, so much so that you have forgotten who the master here is!"

"In the Azure Wolf Hall, my order is the truth. Who among you dares not to listen?"

"Elders, I have been in the Liaison Department for so many years; I have worked hard even if I haven't made any contributions. You can't let that yellow-haired girl replace me!" Elder Wrinkled saw that Xu Tian's attitude was firm, so he turned to ask Zhou Lao Si and other elders for help.

Zhou Lao Si squinted his eyes and smiled, saying slowly.

"The leader is right. The Azure Wolf Hall was founded by him, so he naturally has the right to arrange personnel on his own, and we indeed need newcomers with vitality and drive within us now."

"This..." Elder Wrinkled gritted his teeth unwillingly.

But since Zhou Lao Si had said so, as his confidant, Elder Wrinkled couldn't have any objections.

"However..." Zhou Lao Si spoke again, deliberately emphasizing his tone, "The Liaison Department is the most important department within us and is usually responsible for external affairs. Now that the leader wants to remove the minister and replace her with a newcomer, does this dispute between us and the Zheng family need our capable newcomer to solve it? After all, she is now the head of the Liaison Department. If she cannot resolve the dispute with the Zheng family, I fear she won't be able to explain it to the other brothers." ===== CHAPTER 740 =====

"The Outreach Department is our most important internal department, usually responsible for external affairs. Now that you, Leader, want to dismiss the director and replace them with a newcomer, does that mean we need our capable newcomer to resolve this dispute between us and the Zheng family?"

"After all, she is currently the head of the Outreach Department. If she cannot resolve the dispute with the Zheng family, I'm afraid she won't be able to answer to the other brothers."
