Arrangement

"Perhaps we should all calm down."

After talking for nearly five minutes, the atmosphere gradually became tense. The calm and peace they had shared earlier had given way to a tension that seemed about to escalate into a conflict. Considering Yang Jian's emotional state, Li Yao immediately decided to stop arguing.

"I've remained calm throughout; it's you who are too presumptuous," Yang Jian said.

"It's normal for you to have this kind of thinking. After all, you are considered one of the top Ghost Tamer in the country, and you have the authority you deserve. But that doesn't give you the right to dismiss others," Li Yao said.

Yang Jian scoffed, "You think you can fool me into working for you with some fabricated power? You didn't even mention any pay or salary, only guaranteeing that you won't get rid of me after the job is done?"

"Your statement is like something out of a martial arts novel: 'Go ahead and kill yourself, I promise you'll have a whole corpse.'"

"This condescending attitude, like giving alms to a beggar, is utterly disgusting and repulsive. You don't need to say anything more; I won't listen. Besides, our five-minute conversation is almost over, and I think I should leave."

As he spoke, he stood up and looked down at Li Yao, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him.

Li Yao's gaze was calm, showing no fear whatsoever, maintaining her confident demeanor and composed demeanor.

This kind of self-cultivation is indeed extraordinary.

"Actually, sometimes I agree with some people's ideas. Ordinary people should have the awareness of ordinary people. Don't meddle in everything. If you mess around in areas that don't belong to you, the result is usually terrible." Yang Jian stared at her for a moment before looking away.

"That's a real shame, you missed a very good opportunity."

Li Yao said with some regret, seemingly feeling sorry for Yang Jian.

"I also feel sorry for you. You seem smart and confident, but you haven't even seen reality clearly. Little do you know that this often leads to your own downfall. People need to learn to weigh themselves."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at an open space to the side.

"But I think you'll have changed by the next time we meet."

After saying that, he left in the elevator without looking back.

Li Yao watched him leave without even getting up to see him off. Only after Yang Jian's elevator reached the twentieth floor did her calm expression change slightly, and she let out a disgruntled snort with a hint of coldness.

"Ungrateful wretch."

"As expected, Yang Jian is not easy to recruit. He is a difficult person to deal with. In his world, there is only himself, and no room for others. People with this kind of personality are selfish and self-serving at best, and domineering and tyrannical at worst. They are unwilling to submit to anyone. What a pity."

A conference room has mysteriously appeared on that previously empty ground.

There were four or five people sitting in chairs in the meeting room, not saying a word, their eyes all looking this way.

The speaker was a man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, his handsome face unusually pale, lacking the vitality of a living person.

"Initially, we didn't expect it to succeed. We just wanted to see Yang Jian's attitude. But I'm actually relieved by his personality. If he doesn't agree to join us, he naturally won't join anyone else. That's good. In the end, he'll only become a lone wolf, and lone wolves can't survive when danger comes."

"It's a real shame that the Ghost Domain's power fell into his hands. People who can control the Ghost Domain from the very first one are extremely rare; Li Jun, that anomaly, doesn't count."

Li Yao wasn't surprised by the sudden appearance of these people. She stood up and said, "Since we've already given up on Yang Jian, I suggest we try contacting Feng Quan. He seems to have had some friction with Yang Jian, and as the first person in charge of Dachang City, he's quite senior and worth trying to win over."

"Feng Quan? That's fine, but there's no rush. I'd like to know if Yang Jian will become an obstacle for us in the future? Our conversation just now not only didn't go smoothly, but it seems to have had some negative effects." The young man in the suit waved his hand and said.

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "If he hadn't become the captain, I don't think it would have been a big obstacle. But if he has become the captain, it will be a huge obstacle. I heard that Zhao Jianguo has been advocating for Yang Jian's captaincy recently, and Professor Wang has also recommended him."

"Zhao Jianguo resigned, yet he's still so concerned? That's rare." The young man in the suit smiled.

Li Yao said, "The person has resigned, but the resources and connections he left behind are still there. However, I can't understand why Zhao Jianguo strongly recommended Yang Jian."

"This is not hard to understand. Once Yang Jian becomes the captain, Zhao Jianguo will naturally benefit as well. He is taking a gamble to promote a Ghost Tamer who he believes is advantageous to him. Under his name, only Yang Jian is qualified to compete. The others are just there to make up the numbers."

"Since there's a possibility that Yang Jian could become the captain, and he's one of Zhao Jianguo's people, then there's no question. Once the spot is confirmed, we must immediately get rid of Yang Jian. We can't let Headquarters have such a dangerous person." Someone said in a stiff tone.

"Agree."

"I agree too." The others nodded.

The young man in the suit shifted his gaze. "Since you've both said so, let's settle on this for now."

With just a few words, Yang Jian's fate seemed to be sealed.

"By the way, Li Yao, you can start contacting Feng Quan now. We need to hurry up and recruit some top-notch Ghost Tamer. The more power we have, the more secure and stable we'll be in the future. Supernatural events are on the rise, so we need to plan ahead."

"Feng Quan is already in J City. I will find a suitable opportunity to make contact with him in the next few days," Li Yao said.

"Let's call it a day. It wasn't worth making a special trip just for this Ghost Eye Yang Jian. I thought he was some kind of dangerous person, but he's just an ordinary guy."

With a hint of a smile, the entire conference room vanished mysteriously as the young man in the suit stood up.

The surroundings became empty again.

This is clearly a Ghost Domain.

After leaving the hundredth floor, Yang Jian found his mother on the twentieth floor.

She was a woman in her early forties, with an ordinary appearance, the kind of person who would be very inconspicuous.

At this moment, Yang Jian's mother, Zhang Fen, was sitting at a desk, clicking the mouse on a computer, seemingly working diligently. However, at her age, she was clearly not used to using a computer, so her movements were somewhat slow.

However, the person at the next desk was even more dull-witted.

Yang Jian even saw several elderly people in their seventies sitting there drinking tea and working on their computers, their hands trembling as they held the mouse.

Clearly, the people working here are just looking for a legitimate reason to protect themselves; work efficiency and performance are simply not important.

One of the managers already knew about his arrival.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over very politely. "Are you Zhang Fen? You can rest now."

"Manager, it's not break time yet?" Zhang Fen looked up and asked, somewhat surprised.

The manager pointed to the side and said, "Is that Yang Jian your son? He came to the company to see you. In order not to affect the normal work of others, I grant you a day off."

Zhang Fen looked in that direction and indeed saw Yang Jian standing outside the work area, smiling and looking this way.

She was somewhat surprised.

How did my son, Yang Jian, end up in J City? What was his background?

"Go on, don't bother the others," the manager said with a smile, his voice gentle.

"Thank you, Manager," Zhang Fen said gratefully before putting down her work.

Seeing this, Yang Jian felt relieved. His mother was indeed well taken care of while working here. He had just inquired and heard that the salary was quite good, and the company liked to give out bonuses on a whim. There were subsidies for high temperatures, bonuses for good performance, and even compensation for illness.

At first glance, it sounds like the best company in the world.

Moreover, the working hours are short, only two and a half hours in the morning and two and a half hours in the afternoon, totaling only five hours, and food and lodging are free.

The only downside is that you can't leave the company easily.

Yang Jian could understand this rule. Such comprehensive protection was already difficult. If the family members of the Ghost Tamer could leave the company at will, how much security force would be needed?
