North State, Xiaotian City
Lin Batian, Tian Li, and Wei Dao were discussing their plans. Every few years, they would have these discussions, as they were all developing in different places. They needed to share information to understand each other’s overall strength.
Of course, nobody would reveal their true capabilities. They would only give a rough idea, as everyone knew each other well enough.
The remnants of the Four Great Sects are now led by Tian Li and Wei Dao. After all, Tiandao Gate and Tiandao Pavilion only have Soul Changing left, which is too weak. The weak ones have no say.
"Tian, Wei, we have been living peacefully in North State for many years. Whether it’s the Four Sects or my Lin family, the younger generation has beco less focused on revenge and has even accepted our current lives. We must go to war with Qing State."
Lin Batian told the two. After decades of developnt, both sides have seen the rise of a new generation of power. Our forces have also grown stronger. Lin Batian felt that the opportunity to take action had finally arrived.
"Brother Lin, can’t we wait a little longer? Our power is still weak."
"We can’t wait any longer. We only control a small portion of the land, while Qing State is much larger and their developnt speed is ten or a hundred tis faster than ours. The longer we wait, the more we lose. We have to keep fighting and wear down Qing State."
Lin Batian said. They only control a small number of people in North State. How many people are there in North State? Less than a million. But Qing State, even just one city has so many people.
In terms of developnt, they were at a great disadvantage. Over the past few decades, Qing State’s developnt has far surpassed theirs. Lin Batian had already learned this through insiders.
"Tian, Brother Lin is right. We can’t delay any longer. If we delay, the next generation of disciples will forget their hatred. Do we also want to forget?"
Wei Dao spoke imdiately. The people of their generation had experienced the brutalities of the Qing State, harboring an ancient and deep resentnt. But what about the next generation? They hadn’t gone through these sa experiences, even with constant teachings. The impact of such emotions couldn’t compare to personally witnessing the horrors firsthand. The voices advocating for forgiveness and letting go of revenge were growing louder, and he couldn’t bear it any longer.
"Wei, of course I won’t forget. How could I forget the vengeance of our destroyed household?"
"Can your future generations forget?"
"No, they cannot forget."
"Since they cannot forget, why not agree to co to North State, just to take a temporary break, instead of hiding here for a lifeti?"
"Brother Wei, there’s no need for forceful persuasion. I have agreed."
"Very well, since you have both agreed, I won’t say much. It may take as short as half a month or as long as a year for us to launch an attack on Qing State. Be prepared, gather the necessary resources, and assemble the troops."
"Brother Lin, what about North State?"
"Leave it be. That’s why you all must be prepared. All personnel involved in the battle must personally set up restrictions to prevent leaking of information."
Lin Batian said that in the whole cultivation world, North State was the easiest for them to take over. Other places are not as easy, but this place can bring them many benefits. Lin Batian naturally wouldn’t easily give up.
"Okay, understood."
Wei Dao nodded his head, relieved. The Taixu Sect has recruited many new disciples over the years, and there have also been many disciples who have had children. These people still need a stable environnt to develop, and he can take this opportunity to have his son stay. He only has one son and doesn’t want him to take unnecessary risks.
Xuanmiao City
Lin Jiang went to the purchasing departnt of the business, and a group of people imdiately stopped their work and greeted Lin Jiang.
"Give
an explanation, what is the reason for the extra contents on the purchase order?"
Lin Jiang said with a gloomy face. Lin Jiang has adopted so modern corporate structures in the business, dividing it into departnts such as production, purchasing, design, and administration, each with its own responsibilities.
Although less than 20% of the employees are hired externally, Lin Jiang can control the entire business. However, he received news that the purchasing departnt had made changes to the purchase list, and he was unaware of it.
"Uncle, let
explain."
"I told you, in the business, call
by my job title."
"Yes, sir."
"Co over here."
Lin Jiang called the steward to the office.
"Sir, the situation is like this, the Lin family and the four major sects are preparing to take action against Qing State. They are currently purchasing supplies, but the head of the family doesn’t want the North State’s affairs to be exposed, so they decided to secretly purchase through the company’s channels, which led to a change in the purchase order."
"I’m not talking about this matter, but why I didn’t know about it."
"Well…"
"Do you know that what you’re doing is called abuse of power? The company is mine, not the Lin family’s. Lin Batian should have told you this already."
"I’m sorry, sir, it was my mistake. I thought…"
"You thought what?"
Lin Jiang stared at him with a cold and stern expression, making him too afraid to et Lin Jiang’s gaze.
"Tidy up and hand over your duties within three days, then co back to Xiaotian City."
"Ah, Uncle, this…"
"What’s this? What do you want?"
Lin Jiang angrily rebuked, stating that abusing power was the most intolerable of all mistakes. Lin Jiang needed to maintain absolute control over the business, and if he wasn’t a mber of the Lin family, he would have been dead by now.
Lin Jiang walked out of the room expressionlessly, then called for Lin Cunjian. In front of everyone, he declared. From now on, Lin Cunjian will be your new steward, in charge of all the affairs in the purchasing departnt.
After giving the orders, Lin Jiang took Lin Cunjian aside privately and said. Lin Cunjian, I want you to understand one thing. The Lin family belongs to the Lin family, and the business is separate. Even if they have deep connections, they are still two separate entities. Do you understand what I an?
"Yes, Uncle, I understand. I know what to do, and I won’t make that mistake."
Let
make this clear. Firstly, business is business. The Lin family can use the business’s channels to purchase supplies, and I can even not profit from the Lin family. But the books must be accounted for, and I can’t suffer any losses.
The second point is that I need to know everything, since this is my business. I must be aware of the process. Also, how to hide is your responsibility. The head of the family doesn’t want North State to find out since they are using my business channel.
"Yes, Uncle"
Lin Cunjian didn’t hesitate and thought it was unfair to keep it from Lin Jiang. Many people dislike such decisions made without consulting others.
"Since you understand, I won’t say much. Take care of it yourself."
"Uncle, don’t worry. I won’t make the sa mistake twice."
"Go ahead, go and busy yourself."
Lin Jiang said, and Lin Cunjian respectfully left.
After Lin Cunjian left, Lin Jiang pondered for a long ti, then sent soone to deliver a ssage to Zhou Huaiying, to expedite the process of selling the property business, even if it ant earning a little less.
Lin Jiang had made up his mind to cut ties with the Lin family. He could understand and support the Lin family’s obsession with revenge in the past, considering the deep grudges involved. But Lin Batian beca more and more paranoid, even producing people Dan. Lin Jiang began to feel it was very dangerous.
Once this matter is exposed, the Lin family will be the enemy of everyone in the cultivation world. After all, the human pill is made from cultivators as the main ingredient. The higher the cultivation level, the better the effect. It’s like pulling high-level cultivators into a world of Dark Forest where everyone is in danger. For prestigious sects, this kind of thing must be eliminated, and the Lin family will have nowhere to escape.
Lin Jiang cannot be buried with the Lin family. This is Lin Jiang’s selfishness and nature. Therefore, Lin Jiang needs to plan an escape route in advance to avoid sinking with the Lin family.
Lin Cunjian quickly took over the procurent departnt. He had been working for Lin Jiang in Shenmu City for many years, so he had so experience. Lin Cunjian dare not hide things from Lin Jiang anymore. He seeks Lin Jiang’s opinion before every large-scale procurent, which also allows Lin Jiang to feel at ease.
The company’s large-scale procurent in Xuanmiao City didn’t encounter much trouble. Lin Jiang’s company is also well-known in Xuanmiao City with an annual turnover of at least one billion spirit stones. The scale is continuously growing, and these changes are within the normal range.
"Fourth-order Demon Core, Beast Spirit Pill, fourth-order monster flesh. Dad, is this our last al?"
Half a month later, Small Shadiao looked at the pile of things in front of him and started to panic. When have capitalists ever been kind-hearted? Could this be his last al?
"What are you thinking? This is enough for you to eat a hundred and eighty als."
"No, you suddenly started treating
so well. I’m a little scared."
Small Shadiao quickly said. If Lin Jiang tricked him a few tis, he could handle it, that’s normal. But being treated nicely, he’s afraid.
"Are you looking for a fight, kid? I raised you from a baby, with all the diaper changes and feeding. What’s wrong with
being a bit nice to you?"
"Is that so?"
"Eat or don’t eat, if you don’t eat, I’ll take it away."
"Eat, eat, eat! But hey, dad, can you save so for my wife?"
"Your wife can’t eat this, I’ll make separate arrangents. Anyway, you need to beco stronger, no slacking off."
Lin Jiang said. Small Shadiao isn’t very capable. After all these years, he’s still at the fourth stage of the beginner level. Now, I’m going to help him beco stronger, so he can escape.
Small Shadiao’s wife, Snow Demon, was originally invisible. But because she interacted with humans, she took on a human form. Her true strength, however, is actually at the third stage. The things Lin Jiang gives to Small Shadiao, she can’t consu.
"Dad, from now on, you’re my real dad."
"Where are you going?"
"Ask my daughter-in-law to co over and kowtow to you, showing respect."
"Go back."
Lin Jiang almost laughed until he cried, who on earth asked you to kowtow? Besides, it’s only proper for you to kowtow, you should kowtow regularly. If you had kowtowed earlier, I would have saved you from trouble twice."
"Dad, is there anything else? Speak."
"Next month, I have to go into seclusion, probably for about three months. You can take your wife back to her parents’ ho. Everything has been arranged in Xiaotian City. We will treat your wife’s family well. Once the three months are over, you can co back, and your wife will stay at ho."
"Ah, Dad, are you trying to separate us? Just because you are single, you shouldn’t separate us."
"Shut up! Who said I want to separate you? I need to practice a secret technique and go to an extrely cold place. Let your wife stay there before we go. Your family won’t even listen to you without your wife, right?"
"Of course not! If you don’t listen, I will give you a good scolding."
Small Shadiao proudly said, it has a certain status, and its words are final.
