The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 196. My enemies all praise me for my kindness.
Chapter 196: 196. My enemies all praise me for my kindness.
True Master Yu Jian did not notice her true disciple was exchanging glances with Fang Zhou.
She was completely engrossed in Fang Zhou’s proposal.
Not only was she amazed by the bold strategy in the proposal, but she couldn’t help admiring the reasons behind it upon careful consideration.
Especially seeing the most crucial part, True Master Yu Jian finally couldn’t help but speak up: "You plan to use sword pills as prizes?!"
Fang Zhou nodded: "You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing the child. What does True Master think of this proposal?"
True Master Yu Jian recalled the proposal from beginning to end and sighed with admiration: "Astonishing. Even if we combined the forces of the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, we couldn’t come up with such an amazing proposal."
She was now increasingly convinced that Fang Zhou was indeed a reincarnated master, and must have awakened his memories from his previous life.
This proposal could not have been created by a young man, no matter how knowledgeable he was.
There are many subtle insights into human nature within it, that even True Master Yu Jian found herself lacking. Without over a hundred years of experience, how could one come up with them?
Fang Zhou was unaware of True Master Yu Jian’s thoughts; he had simply taken some of the matured, market-tested marketing strategies from his previous life.
Most of them were wisdom from predecessors, and he was merely borrowing them to meet the requirements of the clients.
Oh, in this world, it should be client parents.
True Master Yu Jian was very satisfied with Fang Zhou’s proposal and immediately agreed to adopt it, allowing him to go forth with his plans, with the full support of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Anyone who dared not cooperate would be brought to a head.
Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief but did not let his guard down; this was only the first hurdle, and countless challenges awaited him.
To successfully manage this anniversary celebration and commerce conference, every detail must be flawless.
Having received the Imperial Sword, Fang Zhou and his secretary Yu Qing left Yujian Peak, heading to Heavenly Sword Peak to begin the preparation work.
Dozens of deacons gathered in front of Fang Zhou, scrutinizing him with various looks.
Although Fang Zhou rarely shared his name, his reputation had spread throughout the Heavenly Sword Sect; even those who had not seen him had heard of him.
Those who did not know his name simply called him "the guy from Moon Viewing Peak."
This title was associated with various novel events and endless gossip, especially the tangled triangle involving him, Yu Qing, and Xuan Ling, the two true disciples.
Seeing Yu Qing obediently standing next to Fang Zhou, the crowd felt an excitement witnessing the birth of a new piece of gossip.
They gathered here, all having received orders from above to unconditionally cooperate with Fang Zhou, so regardless of their personal feelings towards him, none dared to show them at this moment.
However, whispering was inevitable.
Fang Zhou also scrutinized the deacons, suddenly noticing a familiar face—Wang Xiuzhu!
This guy was still here and had escaped from Yan Gulan’s downfall.
Wang Xiuzhu tried hard to shrink his head, pretending to be an ostrich hiding in the crowd.
Since losing Yan Gulan as his support, Wang Xiuzhu’s days had been tough. His rise had been unpopular and solely dependent on Yan Gulan’s backing.
Recently, Wang Xiuzhu had been keeping a low profile, but unexpectedly, his former enemy had now transformed into the chief organizer of the anniversary celebration and commerce conference, holding the power of life and death over him.
It might be excessive to say power of life and death, but certainly, the ability to demote him was within reach.
Unfortunately for Wang Xiuzhu, the more he tried to hide, the more Fang Zhou spotted him. He immediately beckoned him over: "Come here!"
Wang Xiuzhu, seeing no way to avoid it, reluctantly approached Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou looked at him curiously: "Why do you look so worried? Are you afraid I’ll retaliate?"
Wang Xiuzhu hastily replied: "No, no, of course not!"
Fang Zhou laughed: "Good. I’m always magnanimous and repay grievances with kindness. All my enemies praise me for my good heart."
Hope immediately surged in Wang Xiuzhu’s heart.
Fang Zhou resumed seriously: "I have a very important task for you later. Go and wait for now."
Wang Xiuzhu, feeling uneasy, returned to the deacons, uncertain of what important task Fang Zhou would assign him.
Fang Zhou then turned to the other deacons, inquiring about their specialties and specific managerial duties, before dividing them into four project groups.
The first group would handle engineering projects, immediately heading down the mountain to gather all idle workers in Yunshan City and send them to Iron Sword Mountain.
The second group would oversee event projects; Fang Zhou would later provide them with a list of event requirements, asking them to summon various talented disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The third group would be responsible for logistics, specifically procuring and distributing various materials to meet the needs of each project group.
The fourth group would handle finances, strictly controlling costs and expenditures. Although the Heavenly Sword Sect had given Fang Zhou a substantial budget ceiling, unrestricted spending wouldn’t suffice. Fang Zhou did not want to find out halfway through that they were out of funds.
Furthermore, precise financial management could reduce opportunities for corruption. Don’t assume that just because these individuals are cultivators, they wouldn’t be tempted by money.
Initially responsible for various specific tasks, the deacons doubted an outsider like Fang Zhou could successfully manage such significant events as the anniversary celebration and the commerce conference.
Upon witnessing his orderly, detailed arrangements, they immediately dropped their sense of contempt.
After assigning tasks to the deacons, only Wang Xiuzhu remained without a specific duty, standing alone.
Fang Zhou glanced at him and then asked Yu Qing: "Are there any elders in the Heavenly Sword Sect skilled in disguise?"
Yu Qing, although puzzled by Fang Zhou’s search for a disguise expert, nodded: "There is an elder proficient in this art."
Fang Zhou nodded: "Good, arrange a meeting for me."
After Yu Qing departed, Fang Zhou instructed Wang Xiuzhu to wait and returned alone to the paper and ink workshop to find Wei Yuanling.
Recently, Wei Yuanling had been riding high; the success of the Heavenly Sword Daily had elevated her status in the Heavenly Sword Sect to that of a typical elder, overseeing over a thousand people.
Seeing Fang Zhou approaching, Wei Yuanling beamed with joy. In her view, Fang Zhou was her fortunate star.
After testing each other previously and discovering they were both people of a certain type, Wei Yuanling had been eagerly anticipating Fang Zhou’s visit.
She had even renovated her room, reinforced the bed, prepared various props, and kept her door open at night.
However, after waiting endlessly, Wei Yuanling began to doubt her allure.
Had Ling Xiaoyue not returned, Wei Yuanling would have planned to visit Moon Viewing Peak for a night raid.
While Wei Yuanling waited anxiously, Fang Zhou had long forgotten about her.
He hadn’t even absorbed his Innate Yang Qi yet, so he couldn’t be preoccupied with such matters daily; each time his desires were aroused, it would be difficult to handle.
