Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Chapter 125 The Old Man's Group Meeting

A conference room somewhere.

At the long table, the nine bigwigs, led by the Old Celestial Master, remained silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

The three, Lao Tianshi, Lu Jin, and Guan Shihua, remained calm and collected, while the others' gazes occasionally drifted towards an empty seat.

"Hmm~"

Zhao Fangxu clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, cleared his throat, looked around, and finally focused his gaze on the empty seat.

"Today's emergency meeting is mainly to discuss Zhang Yan's birth. As for the head of the Wang family, he is not in good spirits and probably won't be able to come."

"I believe everyone already knows the details, so I won't go into them here. The key point is the message he conveyed to everyone on Longhu Mountain."

At this point, a bright light reflected off Zhao Fangxu's glasses, and he continued speaking.

"I hope everyone can calm down and think about this carefully."

"On the Quanxing side, the acting leader Gong Qing is dead, one of the Four Madmen is also dead, Tu Junfang announced his withdrawal from Quanxing, and Xia Liuqing no longer cares about anything related to Quanxing."

Zhao Fangxu's meaning was clear: Zhang Yan's announcement on Longhu Mountain that no one should cause trouble over the Jia Shen Rebellion sounded like a provocation to the entire world of supernatural beings.

But they have the ability. The company hopes that all the big shots will manage their own power well and prevent a situation like the Eight Great Sects besieging Bright Peak from happening again.

The fact that the Quanxing sect's affairs were explained so clearly is a reminder to those of you with ulterior motives that a living example is right before your eyes.

Everyone looked serious. Chen Jinkui scratched his bald head, chuckled twice, and spoke.

"The company can't always make demands of us, can it? We also need to communicate with Zhang Yan's side."

"Otherwise, if Master Zhang gets upset that day, one of us might end up in a bad mental state like Old Master Wang."

Before Zhao Fangxu could speak, Lü Citeng stood up abruptly and started cursing at Chen Jinkui.

"Fuck your mother's fart."

"Didn't your elders tell you that if it weren't for Brother Zhang turning the tide in the Battle of Taishan, you might not even have a tool to eat now?"

He stared intently at Chen Jinkui before speaking.

"Did you even look at the materials I gave you before? When has Brother Zhang ever caused trouble because of his personal emotions?"

"You don't want to talk about Wang Ai? Fine, I'll bring it up. Haven't he gone a bit too far with what he's done over the years?"

"The fact that the Wang family hasn't completely collapsed and still retains their status as one of the Ten Elders is already a sign that he's been lenient with them."

When everyone saw that Lü Ci was getting agitated, they quickly tried to dissuade him. At the same time, they were surprised by his attitude towards Zhang Yan. Guan Shihua was in a good mood at the time and made a teasing remark.

"Lu Ci, after all these years, how come you're still so damn reckless?"

Chen Jinkui already had something to hide, so when faced with Lü Ci's angry scolding, he just smiled awkwardly and offered a perfunctory piece of advice.

"Mr. Lu, please calm down. I just mentioned it casually."

Zhao Fangxu tapped the table, and the room fell silent again. He then spoke.

"I know you all have questions about this, and that's exactly what we're here to discuss today."

He turned his gaze to the older generation and began to speak.

"His identity is too special. It's not appropriate for our company to get involved directly. We need a few people to act as intermediaries."

That's only one aspect. On the other hand, which he hasn't mentioned yet, the pressure from above on the company is also quite high, with some bigwigs openly and covertly demanding that Zhang Yan be protected.

Zhao Fangxu was suffering in silence. This Zhang the Immortal was only concerned with praying to gods and Buddhas when he wasn't causing trouble; he didn't need the company's protection at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present turned their attention to the Old Celestial Master. When it came to his relationship with Zhang Yan, the Old Celestial Master was undoubtedly the one in the lead.

The old master coughed lightly, took out his phone, and spoke to the crowd.

"The main person in question isn't here, so what's the point of our discussion? Zhang Yan isn't an enemy, so there's no need to be so cautious."

"Just give him a call now and explain things clearly."

Two sentences silenced everyone present; Zhang Yan's birth made everyone tense.

Apart from a few people who had a past relationship with him, the rest of the people couldn't help but put Zhang Yan on the opposite side.

Zhao Fangxu, on the other hand, had been under immense pressure recently and had to be extremely cautious in his dealings with Zhang Yan.

The old master looked around and, finding no objections, pressed the dial and speakerphone buttons.

beep.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, what's up?"

Before Zhang Zhiwei could speak, Lü Ci leaned over and whispered something.

"Brother Zhang, it's me, Lü Ci. Oh, I didn't see you on my two trips to Longhu Mountain."

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a deep voice.

"My phone was only recently activated when I received a call."

“He said he was Qin Shi Huang and asked me to send him 500 yuan to help him restore his country, after which he would appoint me as a general.”

……

Zhang Yan's answer silenced everyone in the room, and then he continued.

"After that came countless sales calls, so I rejected all calls from unknown numbers."

Zhao Fangxu's temples were throbbing incessantly; no wonder he couldn't get through to Zhang Yan on the phone, making him think that Zhang Yan had a problem with the company.

These scammers are too brazen. I'll have Erzhuang handle this later.

This is also Xu San's fault. He made Zhang Yan's bank card number too impressive. In the eyes of those people, he was a very high-quality customer.

The old master couldn't help but smile and said.

"Where are you now? Do you have time to attend a meeting? All nine of us from the company are here."

Zhang Yan responded with a smile.

"Me? I'm in Liupanshui. I'd rather not attend meetings or anything like that; I hate sitting on a bench."

"Nowadays, communication is so convenient, we can just create a chat group and say what needs to be said in the group."

"As for the company, I'll go there when I have time."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

After hanging up the phone, the old master looked at everyone and then spoke.

"I told you, Zhang Yan is not an enemy."

As soon as the old master finished speaking, Lü Ci, Lu Jin, and Guan Shihua all came over, and Lu Jin spoke up directly.

"Old Zhang, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get people here."

The group owner, Zhang Zhiwei, an ordinary person, invited Zhang Yan, a freelancer, to join the group chat.

Lu Jin, who has no time to spare, joined the group chat.

Baijiaguan Shihua joined the group chat.

Zhang Yan's biggest fan, Lü Ci, joined the group chat.

……

Zhang Zhiwei saw an ID that said "Two Hands," hesitated for a moment, but still invited Wang Ai. Unexpectedly, Wang Ai actually joined the group.

Before anyone could even say hello, Wang Ai directly tagged Zhang Yan and said:

Zhang Yan, I've done some investigation, and there are too many coincidences on Wang Ren's side. Be careful of Gu Jiting and the Lü family.
