The Artificer's Greatest Masterpiece
After seeing the two men out, Mr. Dong returned to the study on the second floor. "Would you like me to offer some sound advice?"
Xu Huo looked at the information on his terminal. "Can you manage it yourself?"
The corners of Mr. Dong's mouth dipped slightly. "Even the most capable person can't oversee everything. You're making this difficult for me, sir."
Xu Huo set the information aside. "Let's hear your advice."
"When it comes to a Noble family's business, the people in key positions usually share the same surname. This not only ensures outsiders can't falsify anything, but, more importantly, family members can communicate at any time and avoid information getting lost. The Tar and Miler families are good choices, but they shouldn't hold too many important positions. Otherwise, they won't be managing your assets for you—you'll be handing your family fortune over to them."
After finishing his advice, Mr. Dong added, "Of course, if they do that, you can kill them. But I don't think that's necessary."
"Setting the Miler family aside, the Tar family has some assets of their own. They're on bad terms with the Werner family, and besides the profits, what they care about most is whether they have someone powerful backing them," Xu Huo said. "Clemens has a different idea. They believe they have little chance of making a name for themselves in the Main District, so they've focused on external channels. Making money is one thing; what matters more is being irreplaceable."
"But there are already enough Nobles in District 011. We should give others a chance too."
He opened the résumés people had submitted. Besides those who had come to see him in person, there were plenty who hadn't even made the cut to send a Visit Card.
