"It's Big Hammer and Monkey who are resting inside."

Lin Chuqiao explained softly from the side:

"After the two of them attended the opening ceremony yesterday, they rushed back to Wanghu Town overnight to take charge of protecting aunt and grandpa."

"After an all-night shift this morning, I came here to help Li Jie and the others with the line installation and debugging of Server Room. I was busy until noon before I went to bed."

Fang Cheng After listening, I couldn't help but feel a little touched in my heart.

Everyone is really working hard for the development of Illumination Society, but it also reflects the current shortage of manpower in the organization.

He was silently calculating in his mind that after this busy period, he must speed up the pace of recruiting new people.

At that time, the core combat forces of Big Hammer and Monkey will be freed from daily monitoring and miscellaneous tasks and organized into combat teams respectively.

Normally, we only participate in fixed-point patrols and maneuver tasks to ensure the organization's operational capabilities to the greatest extent.

Also, there are indeed some problems with the accommodation arrangements for the members.

At present, Cloud Hidden Small Dwelling is still preserved as a secret stronghold.

Jiang Yun, Xu Kuan, Old Chen, Eagle Eye and others are still living there temporarily and can be responsible for managing newly recruited personnel and conducting transitional resettlement.

Fat Tiger and Flying Shadow were arranged to go to the Dingqiao Industrial Park base of JB Zone.

Because the underground Air-raid Shelter over there will be Illumination Society's armed training base in the future, and many expensive and sensitive equipment are installed in it.

Reliable personnel must be stationed day and night to prevent leakage or theft.

Once the construction of Air-raid Shelter is completed, it will be a major resettlement location for newcomers.

As for the other members of Illumination Society, they all have their own responsibilities and tasks and are scattered throughout the city.

After inspecting all departments, Fang Cheng has a clear grasp of the layout and operation of the entire headquarters.

Looking at this huge machine that was built under his Willpower and operated efficiently with the efforts of everyone, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart.

I imagined in my heart that Illumination Society would be forged into an indestructible sword in the future, clearing all obstacles in front of me and achieving more goals.

Finally, the two stepped onto the stairs leading to the top floor and arrived at Sixth Floor.

The layout of the entire Sixth Floor is completely different from that below, looking particularly open and luxurious.

There are only three spacious offices on this floor, a VIP room for receiving important guests, and a gym customized according to the special needs of Fang Cheng.

Among them, the one with the largest area and the best location naturally belongs to Fang Cheng, the real controller hidden behind the scenes.

Pushing aside the heavy Redwood Double Doors, the office of President appeared in front of you.

The interior space is extremely spacious, and the floor is paved with thick and soft Wool Carpet, which makes no sound when stepped on.

The whole is divided into three connected areas.

Outside is the reception area, with a circle of Genuine Leather sofas and several sets of calm and atmospheric solid wood bookshelves.

In the middle is a spacious office area, with a comfortable Genuine Leather high-back chair behind the large Mahogany Boss Desk.

On the innermost side, there is a lounge with an independent bathroom and a luxurious bed.

This top floor is designed with a semi-enclosed composite structure.

The west side retains the complete main body of the building, while the east side is boldly opened up, extending outwards to a large unobstructed open-air platform.

The original old Cement fences were all knocked down and replaced with artistic Aura carved iron fences.

Fang Cheng walked through the office, pushed open the floor-to-ceiling Glass door, and walked to the outdoor platform.

Since the houses around Jinshui Fish Market are generally low and cluttered, the top floor of this six-story building forms an excellent viewing area.

The warm wind blew against my face, bringing a hint of Aura that belonged to Ocean.

Fang Cheng put his hands on the carved iron railing and looked far into the distance.

Blocks of buildings are spread out along the coastline, as if they are connected to the sea.

The waves under the sunlight rise and fall, with tiny bits of Golden Light.

In the direction of Harbor, a huge gantry crane stands like a steel giant.

As the whistle echoed on the sea, 10,000-ton cargo ships loaded with containers were slowly sailing out of the harbor.

On one side is Old Town, which is full of pedestrians and crowded buildings, and on the other side is the vast blue sea with turbulent waves.

The two landscapes blend together to create a unique urban look.

Fang Cheng's eyes flashed slightly and he stood quietly.

Standing here overlooking the fireworks all over the city and the boundless sea, a sense of pride for being in charge of Heaven and Earth is faintly stirring in my chest.

"Click."

There was a slight sound of the door opening behind me.

Lin Chuqiao came in carrying a tray with a set of exquisite Purple Clay Tea Set on it.

She placed the tray on the desk, then turned around and locked the door of the office very naturally.

Hearing the sound of the lock being locked, Fang Cheng turned around and looked.

I saw that Lin Chuqiao had taken off the disguise Gold-rimmed Glasses and placed it on the table.

The Chang Fa that she had originally put on the back of her head also fell down, draping over her shoulders like a black waterfall.

Then, she stepped on high heels and walked gracefully to Fang Cheng.

The dignified look on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a touch of tenderness that was as indelible as spring water.

"Have you finished reading? Are you satisfied with the layout here?"

Lin Chuqiao raised his head, his voice was so soft that it could almost pull out silk.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Fang Cheng walked to the large boss chair and sat down, leaning back on the chair.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuqiao took a step forward and sat sideways on Fang Cheng's lap.

If the ordinary employees downstairs saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

In their eyes, Mr. Lin, who was unattainable, cold and stern, was actually nestling in the man's arms like a little daughter-in-law.

"As long as you're satisfied, it's all worth it."

Lin Chuqiao wrapped his fair arms around Fang Cheng's neck, put his cheek against his broad chest, and rubbed it gently, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone:

"When I was down there just now, I kept holding the General Manager frame, and the muscles on my face were almost stiff. It's easiest to stay by your side."

Since the two established their relationship, Lin Chuqiao has become more and more clingy as long as they are away from the workplace, wanting to stick to Fang Cheng all the time.

Feeling the soft and plump body in his arms and the faint scent of perfume lingering on the tip of his nose, Fang Cheng's eyes softened.

He put his arms around Lin Chuqiao's slender waist, and gently rubbed her back through the fabric of the silk shirt with his palms:

"When there are no outsiders in the future, you don't need any disguise in front of me."

"That's what you said."

Lin Chuqiao raised his head, his charming peach blossom eyes were full of love for the man beside him.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently smoothed out a wrinkle at the collar of Fang Cheng's shirt.

Then she put her red lips to his ear and exhaled like a orchid:

"Brother Cheng, the tea has just been brewed and is a bit hot. Do you want to drink the tea first... or try something else first?"

Fang Cheng stared at the beautiful and charming woman in his arms.

He didn't speak, but gave the answer with actions. He lowered his head and kissed those two warm red lips.

Lin Chuqiao raised his chin slightly, put his hands on his shoulders naturally, and responded enthusiastically.

The breaths of the two gradually blended together, and the faint fragrance of tea spread between their lips and teeth.

In the large office, sunlight casts mottled light and shadow through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world is completely blocked by the heavy sound insulation Glass, leaving only this quiet and charming private space.

Fang Cheng The pride in his chest brought about by the expansion of power was also perfectly released at this moment.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Lin Chuqiao's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were filled with a layer of moisture. He was panting slightly and leaned on Fang Cheng's shoulder.

At this moment, she completely let go of all her defenses and strength, and became just an ordinary woman as gentle as water.

Fang Cheng held her waist with one hand, and gently combed her scattered Chang Fa with the other hand.

Neither of them spoke, just enjoying this rare tenderness and tranquility.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk--"

An unexpected knock on the door suddenly broke the atmosphere in the room.

Fang Cheng turned his head and relied on Supernatural's perception ability to easily identify outsiders:

"It's Haozi."

Hearing that his subordinates were coming, Lin Chuqiao immediately stood up from Fang Cheng's legs.

She smoothly smoothed the folds of her skirt, straightened the slightly messy shirt collar, raised her hand to straighten Chang Fa, and quickly restored her capable General Manager posture.

"Come in."

Fang Cheng then spoke, and the voice came out through the thick Solid Wood Door.

Click.

The door handle turned, Xu Hao opened the door and stepped in with a rush.

He was wearing a tight black T-shirt that highlighted his strong muscles. He grinned as soon as he entered the door:

"Boss! Miss Lin!"

Fang Cheng leaned back on the Genuine Leather chair, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for him to sit on the sofa next to him.

Xu Hao walked to the sofa in three steps and then landed on the Genuine Leather cushion.

Lin Chuqiao came over carrying the Purple Clay Teapot that had just been brewed.

Then take out a clean tea cup and place it on Coffee Table in front of Xu Hao, tilting your wrist.

Clear tea poured into the cup from the spout.

"Drink some tea, you just made it."

Lin Chuqiao greeted with a gentle tone, just like the female Master here.

Xu Hao lifted his buttocks flattered and held the edge of the tea cup with both hands:

"Thank you Miss Lin, you are too polite, just let me pour the water myself."

After sitting down, Xu Hao secretly looked at Lin Chuqiao from the corner of his eye as he walked back to his desk.

There was still a slight blush on the woman's fair cheeks, and the slight wrinkles on her collar were caught by his sharp eyes.

Xu Hao has been in nightclubs for many years, and instantly felt like a mirror.

The beautiful woman in front of me is not just a high-level cadre of Illumination Society.

Based on the various ambiguous behaviors he secretly observed during this period, the boss is definitely having an affair with Miss Lin.

In other words, Lin Chuqiao is likely to be his future Boss Lady.

Xu Hao is holding the hot teacup with both hands, thinking secretly.

In the future, I must pay more attention to please this Boss Lady, so as to consolidate my core position as President's "number one horse boy".

He is indeed stupid, but he is not a brainless fool.

The more effort-saving and flattering things you can do, the better.

Fang Cheng ignored his rolling eyes, picked up his tea cup, took a sip, and got to the point:

"Ancient Locust Village How is the situation over there?"

This is exactly the reason why Fang Cheng specially brought Xu Hao here today.

Upon hearing the question, Xu Hao's bright smiling face suddenly collapsed, like a deflated rubber ball.

"Don't mention it, boss."

He put down the tea cup and poured out the bitter water:

"There's not even a mobile phone signal in that shabby village, and at night there's only a dark wind and owls hooting. I've been watching there every day for the past half month, and I feel like mushrooms are growing on my body."

Fang Cheng was not moved at all, his eyes fell on Xu Hao's face:

"Have anyone from outside entered the village?"

"Absolutely not."

Xu Hao immediately sat up straight, put away his joking posture, and promised:

"I and the big star named Cheng were assigned to different classes, and we took turns guarding him 24 hours a day."

"Let alone outsiders, there aren't even any scavengers to pick up rags, let alone get close to that Dry Well."

Fang Cheng nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"How is the Yin Qi changing at the bottom of the well? Have you followed Cheng Jiashu in to take a look?"

"I just went down with him the day before yesterday."

Xu Hao recalled the scene at the bottom of the well and couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on his arms:

"Good guy, the yin energy inside is much thicker than half a month ago. It's so gray that it's easy to get lost."

"After I followed Cheng Jiashu through the door, it became even darker inside. The air-conditioning penetrated into the cracks in my bones. I couldn't even see my fingers when I stretched out my hand."

"What about Spatial Rift?"

Fang Cheng then asked.

"It's probably grown dozens of times."

Xu Hao stretched out his right hand and gestured a width:

"It was a slit as thin as an eye at first, but now it's almost as wide as a basin, with a permeable Red Light."

"Cheng Jiashu squatted there and studied for a long time, saying that this was not enough. The yin energy in Earth Veins was not replenished, so he could only continue to endure the time."

Fang Cheng rested his fingers on the edge of the table and continued to ask:

"Cheng Jiashu are just waiting by the well during this time? Didn't you do anything else?"

"How can that be possible? He has a very flexible mind."

Xu Hao felt a little thirsty when he spoke. He picked up the tea cup and took a big sip, then wiped his mouth and continued:

"In the name of Qian Dongming's company, he has started the renovation project of the Resort Villa."

"It's just that before the construction team arrived, he deployed several excavators and parked them at the intersection into the village. They pretended to be digging soil all day long, blocking the road into the mountain."

"Now even if there are hiking tourists passing by, they can't see anything going on in the village."

Lin Chuqiao, who was standing aside, heard the name Qian Dongming and responded in a timely manner:

"Part of the funds that Qian Dongming previously donated have been transferred into several Offshore Accountss we set up in the past few days. There is no tail. This person has been very cooperative."

"Miss Lin is so right!"

Xu Hao immediately turned up the volume, took the opportunity to compliment him, and then looked at Fang Cheng:

"This old boy is extremely attentive to me now. He went to the village four or five times in half a month. Every time he came, he brought good cigarettes and wine in large and small bags."

"He also asked me about the boss all day long. He heard that we had established an organization. Fei was clamoring to donate all the remaining family property to the organization, and asked if he could join."

Fang Cheng After listening, the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.

He reached out to pick up the tea cup and said calmly:

"Tell Qian Dongming that in view of his loyal performance during this period, the organization can consider giving him the status of a peripheral member. As for the status of a core member, we will continue to observe it for a while."

"Okay, I'll tell him this when I get back, and I'll make sure he's grateful."

Xu Hao agreed repeatedly with a smile.

Then his face changed and he stared at Fang Cheng with a helpless and pitiful look.

He hesitated, as if he had something to say.
