Chapter 1015: Chapter 1003: Rising Above Others
"Oh? What are you angry about?" Song Yun asked gently.
"Why was I fired so inexplicably? I was doing everything well and hadn’t offended anyone. Why would you fire
just because soone didn’t like ?" Zhang Bei, his emotions surging, suddenly beca agitated. "Every mont, I’m worrying about the matters here, doing my best to complete any task given by higher-ups. Why was I so easily dismissed?"
"Oh? Is a reason needed?" Song Yun asked with a smile.
"Isn’t it?" Zhang Bei countered, "Even if you wanted
dead, you’d have to give
a reason, right?"
"Actually..." Song Yun paused for a mont before speaking, "Actually, according to what you said, you indeed have no reason to be fired."
Zhang Bei looked calmly at Song Yun and said, "But I was still fired."
"Do you know why we’d fire soone who seemingly doesn’t need to be fired?" Song Yun asked back.
"Who the hell kno..." Zhang Bei reflexively wanted to blurt this out, but stopped himself from finishing.
"Do you... have another reason?"
"Is that how you address your boss, with such disrespectful terms?" Song Yun asked with a smile.
"Bo... Boss? What’s going on here?" Zhang Bei felt even more confused.
"There’s naturally a reason for dismissing you," Song Yun said. "In our Shura Alliance, we won’t forsake any mber. Everything you’ve done, we’ve all seen it. Why fire you then? It’s because, for now, you mustn’t have any ties with the Shura Alliance."
"What do you an?" Zhang Bei asked.
"The matter is actually straightforward," Song Yun replied, "Our Shura Alliance needs you to go out and accomplish a great task. Whether you’re willing to do this great task is entirely up to you. If you choose to, then we can continue discussing this task. If you choose not to, you can return to your position tomorrow, and this incident won’t affect your future promotions. According to our original plan, you’d be promoted to assistant manager next week."
"Assistant manager...?" Zhang Bei asked in confusion, "Next week?"
"Yes!" Song Yun nodded.
"If I’m unwilling, I can still beco assistant manager next week?" Zhang Bei repeated his question.
"Yes, your salary will increase to 20,000 a month, and with the year-end bonus, you’ll earn around 300,000 a year," Song Yun said with a smile.
"So, can I know what the great task you want
to do is?" Zhang Bei asked.
"If you learn what this great task is, there will be no turning back. Are you sure you want to know? I can tell you in advance, this task is very significant and dangerous. One wrong move and you could end up dead. But if you succeed, you’ll at least rise to the position of Xiezi," Song Yun said slowly, with a strange gleam in his eyes, similar to how he used to deceive girls into getting a kiss when he was young.
After a mont of silence, Zhang Bei looked into Song Yun’s eyes and said, "I want to do the great task!"
"Oh?" Song Yun asked with a laugh, "Why is that? This is not sothing that can be completed in a week or half a month. The process is arduous beyond your imagination and involves high risks. By comparison, becoming an assistant manager next week is more practical and reliable. And the assistant manager isn’t the end; maybe you could even beco a manager soday!"
"I want to do the great task!" Zhang Bei repeated this sentence word for word, then said, "I want to quickly beco a person of status. I don’t want to stay cooped up in a small room alone every day, just watching TV and surfing the internet. I want to be like Brother Xiezi, having people smile wherever I go, surrounded by beauties, respected by all! What’s difficult about that? What’s so scary about danger! Since you and Brother Song Yun value
enough to give
this opportunity, if I don’t seize it, then I might spend my whole life stuck in the assistant manager position, never worrying about basic needs but not living the life I want!"
"You want to beco a person of status, is that it?" Song Yun asked, squinting.
"Yes!" Zhang Bei remarked candidly, "My greatest ambition is to beco an outstanding person like you, Brother Song Yun!"
"Haha, you’ve got ambition!" Song Yun laughed, "Having ambition is a good thing. Since you’re so determined, then this task is yours. But let
warn you, if you don’t do well, or even die outside, our Shura Alliance won’t acknowledge any connection to you. And if you harbor any disloyalty, the Shura Alliance will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Although Song Yun said this with a smile, the words sent a chilling intent that alard Zhang Bei.
The malevolent intent almost made Zhang Bei’s breath halt.
"If I, Zhang Bei, ever betray Brother Song Yun or the Shura Alliance, may I fall into the 18th level of hell, never to rise again!"
Zhang Bei stated, raising his hand.
"Hehe, oaths are useless, just rember it in your heart," Song Yun said. "ng Ku, explain our plan to Zhang Bei."
"Alright!" ng Ku nodded. "Zhang Bei, here’s what we’ll do!"
ng Ku outlined Song Yun’s plan to send Zhang Bei to the Pearl River Delta area for initial expansion, along with so specific details. By the ti everything that needed to be said was said, over half an hour had passed.
"You will go there as our scouting party. I’ll arrange a few reliable people to go with you, and your cover will be that of a wandering hooligan. We’ll provide money and tools, but how you secure a foothold for us to establish a base will be up to you!" Song Yun said.
Zhang Bei was filled with excitent. He didn’t expect the task assigned to him by Song Yun to be so critical. If successful, the Shura Alliance’s influence would at least expand southward to reach GZ, effectively doubling its current territory. The resulting benefits would be far more than just a re doubling!
"I’ve given you the path, whether you walk it or collapse along the way depends on your fate!" Song Yun said flatly, rising to his feet.
"Even if I have to crawl, I’ll reach the end!" Zhang Bei declared, clenching his fist, which remained clenched for a long ti!
