Then We'd Reward Him Like Crazy!

Spirit birds continuously flew out of the meteorite iron mine, heading to all corners of the world, and to every property under the Vast Heaven Sect.

Xu Wei was ruthless enough to explain the meteorite mine issue in detail in all the messages, and also made it clear that Xinghe was giving everyone a chance.

As countless spirit birds flew out, all the businesses under the Vast Heaven Sect received them.

When they saw the first half of the spirit bird, the deacons from all sides broke out in a cold sweat. After all, the meteorite iron mine was not an isolated case; which of the other industries hadn't made some underhanded moves on a daily basis?

Everyone knows the truth, right?

But when they saw that Xinghe was willing to give everyone a chance, and even offered to double their treatment, the eyes of all the deacons turned red.

Almost immediately, all the deacons convened a general meeting, during which they directly informed each steward of the information about the spirit bird.

Everyone's smart enough not to be fooled; looking at the information on the spirit bird, no one is unsure of what to choose.

Is it better to hand over everything you've taken and enjoy a life of doubled benefits, or to stubbornly challenge the sect's bottom line of tolerance? This choice shouldn't be too difficult, right?

After all, anyone who manages to rise to a managerial position is a shrewd and resourceful person.

If the sect directly asked everyone to hand over what they had taken before, many people might hesitate. But with the temptation of doubled benefits, only a fool would choose to remain stubborn.

I used to take the sect's resources because I was short of money, but now that the benefits are doubled, I'm not short of money at all. Why would I take such a risk?

I was so poor I had nowhere else to turn, so I resorted to crime. But why would I do something so damn wrong when I'm already living a comfortable life? Have I lost my mind?

Therefore, in a short period of time, almost all the properties under the Vast Heaven Sect had their accounts reorganized, and all the reorganized accounts were very similar to Xu Wei's accounts.

Not only did they make up for all the deficits, but they also provided a list of managers and the amounts each manager had contributed.

All the ledgers were compiled and sent to the Vast Heaven Sect almost immediately.

Within the Vast Heaven Sect, the Grand Elder had actually been somewhat worried these past few days.

Xinghe is still young after all, and this is his first time representing the sect leader on an inspection tour. The Grand Elder is worried that something might go wrong.

After all, the Grand Elder was not unaware of some of the sect's affairs.

But with the north being well-prepared, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Just as the Grand Elder was trying to comfort himself, news suddenly arrived that Xinghe hadn't gone north, but had instead gone south?

The elder was stunned when the news came out.

Um... Xinghe, did you also receive my true teachings on teleportation arrays?

Before the Grand Elder could recover from his daze, news of Xinghe's impending attack on the meteorite mine reached the sect.

Ma Liang immediately brought back information about Luo Zheng. When the Grand Elder saw what Luo Zheng had done, he had only one thought... Xinghe is still merciful... but chopping him up and feeding him to the dogs is a bit too lenient on this guy.

If I have to deal with it myself, shouldn't I send it to the Everlasting Spring Palace for some kind of recycling?

Although Everlasting Spring Palace now has no shortage of people to test the medicine with the Dark Moon Clan, Everlasting Spring Palace has said that it is pointless to keep poisoning the Dark Moon Clan; they would like to find some normal people to try it on.

However, the Grand Elder was not worried about Luo Zheng's matter; what worried him were other things at the meteorite iron mine.

Xu Wei was someone he had personally promoted; how could the Grand Elder not know what kind of person Xu Wei was?

You say Xu Wei's abilities are questionable, then the Grand Elder will be the first to jump out and confront you head-on. However, while Xu Wei's abilities are not the problem, his methods are not exactly clean.

You must have taken quite a bit from the meteorite mines over the years, right?

Not only Xu Wei, but probably not many of Xu Wei subordinates are clean either.

However, it's not just the meteorite iron mine; all of the Vast Heaven Sect's industries are pretty much the same. Who dares to claim they are 100% clean?

The sect has held meetings to discuss this issue, but it's a rather troublesome matter to handle.

You say we should investigate further... but if we deal with everyone, who will manage the sect's assets?

So over time, as long as the subordinates didn't go too far and as long as they completed the various tasks required by the sect each year, some things were overlooked. After all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish...

However, the Grand Elder was still very worried about the sudden attack that Xinghe launched on the meteorite mine.

Xinghe is still young. If Xinghe acts impulsively and kills everyone without a word, that would be a real problem.

Just as the Grand Elder was pondering whether to send a message to Xinghe telling Xinghe some things didn't need to be investigated further, news came from the meteorite mine.

Upon witnessing what had transpired at the meteorite mine, not only the Grand Elder but all the chief disciples were full of praise.

Beautiful! Xinghe's move was absolutely stunning.

If Xinghe were to actually destroy this meteorite mine, the senior elders would feel that it would be inappropriate.

You're right that Xinghe is impartial and incorruptible, but Xinghe is Future to become the master of the Vast Heaven Sect.

The position of sect leader is not about being incorruptible and impartial, but about understanding human relationships and worldly affairs!

The task of being impartial and incorruptible should be left to the elders; it's not appropriate for the sect leader to do it!

But now that Xinghe has used this method, all the chief elders are applauding it.

"Elder, you've been worrying for Old He these past few days. I told you before, Xinghe is a steady and mature young man, and it's impossible for him to do what you're worried about."

"Indeed... Even I, Old Yu, admire Xinghe's methods this time."

"Last year we discussed how to resolve these issues together. What we old folks couldn't figure out after several days of research, Xinghe easily resolved with a single move."

"It's a good thing the sect leader isn't here, otherwise he would definitely have accepted Xinghe as his personal disciple..."

But the joy for the elders did not end there. With the news of the meteorite iron mine spreading, all the assets under the Vast Heaven Sect had their accounts reorganized.

As the ledgers were delivered to the Vast Heaven Sect, the Grand Elder was immensely gratified to see the data that had been reorganized by all parties and the lists of stewards and managers who had voluntarily submitted their contributions.

Feng Fei immediately gave all the elders a breakdown of the costs and benefits.

According to the new ledgers sent by all parties, after receiving double the treatment, the sect not only did not suffer a loss, but actually doubled its revenue.

Moreover, while revenue has doubled, the most crucial change is the shift in the prevailing atmosphere.

You won't see any of those dirty deeds from before. The various deacons have all stated by name that the sect can rest assured that if anyone dares to cause trouble under these circumstances, the sect won't even need to investigate; they can just grab them and kill them on the spot!

As the saying goes, if one can live a stable and prosperous life, who would choose to take shortcuts or resort to dishonest means?

Looking at the figures Feng Fei had calculated, the group of bigwigs grinned from ear to ear.

Elder Yu even suggested on the spot that Xinghe should be given the task of inspecting the sect from now on.

Look at how the sect leader goes on inspections of the sect. Every time he comes back, he's so angry he's panting. Then, if he disagrees with us old guys, he'll drag us into a discussion about countermeasures. But every time we discuss for ages, we end up with absolutely no solutions.

Look at the Xinghe again... It resolves things on the spot without a word, and most importantly, the solution is a win-win situation for everyone.

The elders unanimously agreed with what Elder Yu said.

Chu Xinghe n't know whether the many powerful figures of the Vast Heaven Sect agreed or disagreed; he only wanted to know who had misinterpreted his meaning.

Is it that bastard Ma Liang again?

What the hell do you mean by me burning the ledgers?

What did I mean when I said to have them reorganize it?

I asked them to create a new ledger that could fool the sect... Aren't you all damn good at falsifying accounts?

Who told you to give all your money back without a second thought?

Don't you feel bad about giving back all the money you've worked so hard to amass over the years?

I gave you double the treatment just to drain the sect's resources... Did I expect you to be completely incorruptible?

They summoned Ma Liang to ask if he had imagined something strange again, but when he saw Senior Brother Xinghe, Ma Liang just sighed.

As expected... I didn't understand what Senior Brother Xinghe meant... Look at Senior Brother Xinghe's expression, he's disappointed in me Ma Liang!

When Senior Brother Xinghe said those words, what he actually meant was that he wanted me, Ma Liang, to relay the message to Xu Wei and the others.

As a result, I, Ma Liang, simply couldn't understand what Senior Brother Xinghe meant.

Fortunately, Xu Wei is shrewd and understood what Senior Brother Xinghe meant, otherwise I, Ma Liang, would have delayed something very important.

Ma Liang realized that he still had a long way to go in assisting his Senior Brother Xinghe... and he couldn't afford to slack off in the slightest.

Therefore, Ma Liang immediately said, "It was indeed Ma Liang mistake this time. Please rest assured, Senior Brother Xinghe, I, Ma Liang, will definitely try again and never let you down. Ma Liang will strive to understand what Senior Brother Xinghe in the future..."

Chu Xinghe was at a loss for words when it came to Ma Liang... This guy was a complete scoundrel!

And Xu Wei... are you fucking crazy?

I wasn't even planning to investigate you, and you just blurted everything out without warning...

Looking at the list of stewards that Ma Liang had handed over, Chu Xinghe burst into tears.

Is what you're handing over resources? You're handing over Senior Brother Xinghe's entire Future, do you even realize that?

Although his heart was filled with tears, Chu Xinghe remained calm. After all, who hasn't experienced setbacks in life?

Chu Xinghe began to consider whether he should talk to Xu Wei and the other managers.

I subtly hinted to myself that it's not a big deal for them to be a little greedy occasionally... and that it's not entirely unacceptable to them.

Just when Chu Xinghe was at a loss, Ma Liang spoke up from the side.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, actually, not everyone at the Meteorite Mine has problems. Look at this guy named Wei Xin, he's exceptionally clean. I just asked, and both Xu Wei and the other managers said that Wei Xin is as honest as water, upright and incorruptible!"

"Moreover, Wei Xin is extremely capable. I've heard that since he arrived, the meteorite mine's revenue has been steadily increasing!"

As Ma Liang finished speaking, Chu Xinghe's eyes turned red. What the hell? Income keeps increasing?

Can't you even speak a single human word today, Ma Liang?

Picking up the file on Manager Wei Xin that Ma Liang had mentioned, Chu Xinghe was horrified when he saw it.

This Wei Xin is truly a talent. Some of the plans he proposed have indeed increased the revenue of the meteorite mine significantly. Moreover, he is indeed as honest and upright as the outside world says. He's practically a born money-making genius.

If he were to continue working at the meteorite mine for a few more years, wouldn't the meteorite mine take off on the spot?

Such potential risks must be eliminated in advance.

But not only did they not make any mistakes, they also behaved well. So, is it a bit unreasonable to punish them?

After much deliberation, Chu Xinghe made a decision: punishment is not appropriate, is it...?

Then let's reward him handsomely!
