Chapter 41 Cooperation and Blackmail
The next day, Xu Jiang's original plan was to sleep until 12 o'clock and make up for the time spent killing monsters in the cave all night long.
Unexpectedly, it was only 7 o'clock when someone knocked on his door.
When he opened it, he saw Baozi, who was also sleep-deprived. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "You are very calm. Even the communicator is turned off. Someone is looking for you in the living room. Let me wake you up."
The base of Group 17 is on the 11th floor of the Jiuchuan Group's annex building. The entire floor belongs to them.
Probably out of fear of inconvenience, Ying Xiaoxiao called Baozi and asked him to call someone.
Xu Jiang sighed in disappointment: "I thought that with the strength of our team leader, he could at least hold on until I slept in, but I didn't expect that the team leader couldn't withstand the pressure."
Hearing this, Baozi patted his shoulder helplessly.
"I have no choice. I have to bow my head when I'm under the eaves. If it were anyone else, the team leader probably wouldn't give him face, but the person outside is the third young lady Qi Yao."
"Miss Third? A big shot in Jiuchuan?"
"That's right, one of the three current directors of Jiuchuan Group. By the way, the agents of the other two directors were blocked, but the third lady came in person and couldn't stop him."
Jiuchuan Group was a giant in Xu Jiang's eyes. Now one of the three top executives came in person, which was unexpected.
Xu Jiang washed up quickly and went out to meet people.
Arriving in the living room, Xu Jiang saw the legendary third lady Qi Yao.
Her beautiful black hair rests on a pale yellow dress. She is gently blowing the coffee in the cup, letting the gentle water vapor brush over her delicate and flawless cheeks.
She is very beautiful and has a ladylike temperament, but her current state is a bit distorted.
Because sitting with her to enjoy the coffee was his team leader Ying Xiaoxiao. This team leader with serious violent tendencies also had a gentle and sweet smile.
It gave Xu Jiang the illusion that the sweeter his smile, the more ruthless he would kill people.
Seeing Xu Jiang's arrival, Ying Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and introduced: "Xu Jiang is out. Come, let's get to know each other. This is the only boss of our seventeenth group, Third Miss Qi Yao."
The only boss? It seems that the Jiuchuan Group is divided into factions!
"Hello, nice to meet you." Qi Yao had no airs and was dignified and generous. She took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Jiang, without the shyness of ordinary girls.
Of course, this is normal. In such a catastrophic era, being naive and coy will only make people die faster.
Although it was obvious that Qi Yao took care of himself regularly, his white and tender palms still felt like calluses, which was a sign of holding weapons for a long time.
Of course Xu Jiang was also very considerate: "I didn't expect that the third lady would come to see me in person. It's such an honor."
"No, actually when I first joined the company, I wanted to come in person. But I was a little worried at the time and didn't get to know him earlier." Qi Yao smiled slightly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze blowing on her face.
Speaking of which, Qi Yao really valued Xu Jiang.
Firstly, it was because she wanted to cultivate her own team; secondly, it was because Uncle Lei spared no effort to praise her.
After all, Uncle Lei had to contact Xu Jiang first before any other force, and he knew better than anyone else that before Xu Jiang entered the [Black and White Forest], he really had a blank slate and couldn't even open the safety catch.
But in just a few days, he has continuously created terrifying achievements, and he has a set of powerful equipment that he doesn't know where it came from.
Such a genius must not be let go.
Uncle Lei quickly came over and helped: "Yes, the third lady is very optimistic about you. Xu Jiang, you must seize the opportunity!"
Seize the opportunity? Seize what opportunity? The boss's daughter is found, and the whole company will follow me?
Glancing at the old face that suddenly appeared, Xu Jiang asked, "Huh? When did you come, Uncle Lei?"
"...I've been here all along, you brat!"
After all, in front of the two beauties, the old guy was standing with a dead tree and potted plant again. He didn't pay attention for a while. What a sin.
Uncle Lei sat on the sofa nearby, took out a stack of documents and placed them on the table. He said with a serious face: "Xu Jiang, let's have a frank and public talk today."
"My original intention before was to keep you low-key, but now it seems that is no longer possible. I have prepared several other plans. Take a look."
Uncle Lei wants to protect Xu Jiang and let him grow up in a low-key manner. This idea is not wrong.
Because in Jiuchuan Group, there is now separation of powers. In addition to the third lady Qi Ya, there are also his eldest brother and another director.
Each has its own faction, and there is constant internal competition. Group 17 and Uncle Lei are both direct subordinates of Qi Ya.
"Huh? Only the eldest brother and the third lady? What about the second brother?"
"Second brother...Second young master, what does it have to do with you? This is not the point!"
Uncle Lei interrupted Xu Jiang's curiosity and continued to explain.
In the era of catastrophe, it is unrealistic to say that all subordinates are loyal and loyal soldiers. Most of them are just outsiders who act according to the changing circumstances.
Therefore, if you want to gain more support within the group, you must improve your prestige and achieve results.
"Xu Jiang, I can give you the maximum support, but at the same time, you must be mentally prepared to be squeezed out by other factions. In addition, you must also help me get two results."
If you pay, you must get something in return, otherwise the investment will be wasted and no one will be able to bear it.
Xu Jiang picked up the contract on the table. The treatment was very good and the conditions were very harsh.
In addition to a house and a handsome hover car, the first round of investment also includes a large amount of blue-level materials, weapons, training, etc.
What Xu Jiang has to pay is to achieve good results in the two designated spiritual realms.
"Spiritual realm? I'm good at the spiritual realm! No problem." Xu Jiang agreed without thinking.
"Don't take it lightly. This time it's not as simple as clearing the level. You must be careful. As long as you get good results, we will make a second round of investment in you."
Investment, return, more investment, more return... This is a continuous cycle. This is a very practical and effective way of cooperation.
As he said that, Uncle Lei started to babble again: "Although you have been in the industry for a short time and have little experience, it's okay. I will strengthen your training and transfer you to the third group to learn, so that you can open up in the spiritual realm.
Before that, we achieved a qualitative leap."
The idea is very good. Set a time-sensitive goal for Xu Jiang, force Xu Jiang to be anxious, and then teach him like a famous teacher. Xu Jiang will definitely...
"I reject."
"...What! You refuse?"
"Yes, I think the seventeenth group is very good. I want to continue to stay here."
"But the conditions of the third group are even better. Nutritionists, trainers, instructors...that's the most elite place in the hunting department."
"That's why I won't go! I have my own talent cultivation method and I don't need too much training."
Special training? Study?
Those are not of much use. All his abilities come from the equipment on his body.
Looking back on the growth process of the equipment, isn't it just that they discover their potential and learn skills through doing things again and again?
Looking at the entire Jiuchuan Group, is there any place that loves to cause more trouble than Group 17?
Upon hearing Xu Jiang's words, Ying Xiaoxiao laughed happily: "Haha!! Not bad, not bad. You are indeed my most valued team member. Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me if I take action in the future."
"Action?" Qi Yao seemed to hear a word that was not quite right.
"Ahem, I mean, give him special training."
They were chatting happily, but Uncle Lei on the other side looked bitter.
Although Xu Jiang stayed in Group 17, he didn't mention a word about becoming his disciple. Is his evil disciple really going to fly away like this?
Seeing Uncle Lei's pitiful look, Xu Jiang almost laughed out loud.
He did not object to becoming a disciple of this enthusiastic man, so that he could learn the skills of using a gun and gain a better understanding of survival experience.
It's a pity that times have changed. In the past, it was difficult to become a master. Without some big gifts, the master would not teach you unique skills.
But now, it's even harder to recruit disciples.
"Last time I went to the company's warehouse, I didn't find any suitable weapons. As a master, shouldn't you make some comments?"
No more acting, it’s a showdown, I just want to blackmail you for your treasure, will you give it to me?
"Here!" Uncle Lei said with ecstasy on his face: "Leave now and go to my warehouse. You can choose whatever you like from my collection!"
