Treating Friends with the Warmth of Spring

"It gives the code phrase, and you just hand it the medicine. Why would there be a second line? Are you insane?"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Uh, I guess that's true."

"Fine. Here's the money. I'm leaving."

He tossed twenty thousand yuan into the room, with the extra ten thousand serving as a deposit.

"Daji, go pick up the medicine from the 'Healing Bee' pharmacy later. The code phrase is 'The Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger.'"

After leaving the alley, he called Niu Daji.

"Got it, Boss. What's the next line?"

Niu Daji asked.

". You two really are evenly matched. You give the code phrase, and it gives you the medicine. There is no next line."

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

"But—"

"No buts!"

He hung up irritably.

"Not bad. You're starting to look like a leader."

The driver nodded approvingly.

A leader needed authority. If he acted too friendly toward his subordinates every day, they would start getting ideas they shouldn't have.

"Still, the art of leadership lies in being targeted. You have to seize on your subordinates' mistakes, big or small. You can't just lose your temper at random."

The driver advised him.

"When did I lose my temper at random?"

Liu Zheng was rather baffled.

"When you send a Minotaur to do something, you need to explain it clearly. You only gave him the first half of the code phrase. When he meets the contact, how will he know whether the other party's second half is correct?"

The driver said.

". Colonel, I should get you a Deadman's Brain Core. No, a Deadman's Brain Pulp."

He held his forehead.

Liu Zheng now deeply understood why City Hall recruited so many human employees. These nonhumans could really be one-track-minded sometimes.

"That thing is useless to me."
