"Today, I specifically lied to Chen Chen, saying there was an emergency at home, and that’s how I managed to get half a day off." "Rest assured, President." He changed his tone, and with unwavering determination: "No matter how much Chen Chen tortures me, I’ll persist and ensure I complete the task you’ve assigned!" The way he carried himself was just like an undercover agent swearing an oath. Fang Cheng nodded slightly. If Xiao Shuai could really learn some modern corporate management knowledge at Yuanchen Group, it would indeed be a good thing. After all, no one would mind their subordinates gaining a bit more skill. "While you were with Chen Chen and Secretary Liu, did you see anyone who might be a member of the Noah Organization?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai furrowed his brow, trying hard to scour his memory for recent events. "Chen Chen often took me along to meet some clients and deliberately introduced me as his most valued godson to them." "Among these people, there are high-level executives from conglomerates, government officials, and leaders of other organizations... I didn’t notice anyone particularly suspicious." After thinking hard for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh right! The day before yesterday, when I was at work at Yuanchen Group, I saw a young man walking out of Chen Chen’s office." "He was wearing a sharp silver-gray suit, his hair immaculately groomed, a pretty boy." "Secretary Liu personally escorted him to the elevator with such respect, but that pretty boy was incredibly arrogant, treating Secretary Liu like a servant." "President, do you think... could he be from Noah Organization?" Xiao Shuai didn’t really know what kind of entity the Noah Organization was; he could only wildly guess based on the other party’s arrogant demeanor. Fang Cheng’s gaze flickered slightly. According to Xiao Shuai’s description, that person was very likely the cadre named "Zhuo Feng" that Fang Cheng had seen from Xu Hao’s perspective during a meeting at Noah Organization. "If you see this person again in the future, keep an eye on his movements." Fang Cheng instructed deeply, "But remember, don’t do anything unnecessary, and definitely don’t expose yourself." "Yes, President, I understand!" Xiao Shuai nodded promptly in response. "By the way, President." As if he remembered something important, he immediately added: "I’ve brought all the reward money for the task you’ve assigned." Saying this, Xiao Shuai stretched out his arm, swept aside leftovers on the table, and cleared a space. Then he bent down, using both hands, to lift a large black suitcase from under the table. The suitcase was likely the largest size available on the market, almost half a person’s height, packed full to the brim. Seeing Xiao Shuai’s flushed face and the bulging veins on his forehead as he lifted it, one could tell its weight was astounding. The heavy suitcase was placed heavily on the round table, creating a muffled sound. Immediately afterward, he laboriously carried up a second suitcase, identical to the first. Xiao Shuai sequentially unzipped both suitcases. Instantly, the boxes, filled with brand-new red hundred-yuan bills, were exposed to the air without any concealment. The unique ink fragrance and the visual impact of the money made the atmosphere in the private room freeze momentarily. "President, please take a look." Xiao Shuai respectfully bent over and gestured with his hand. Fang Cheng looked at the two large boxes of cash, momentarily lost for words. He indeed had overlooked something. The volume and weight of ten million in cash far exceed what an average person can imagine. No wonder, until today, he had no concrete concept of so much money. And transporting such a large sum here without anyone noticing is not an easy task. Yet Xiao Shuai, without even asking a single extra question, had meticulously completed this arduous task following Fang Cheng’s instructions. One can imagine how much thought and effort he put behind the scenes. Xiao Shuai wiped the sweat from his forehead, wearing a proud smile for completing the task: "President, would you like to count them?" "The total here is nine million eight hundred thousand; there’s another two hundred thousand for activities, which I haven’t touched, so I didn’t bring it over." He said with a grin, not showing any complaint about the cumbersome task. Fang Cheng was silent for a moment, moved his gaze from the money, and settled on Xiao Shuai’s sincere face. Then, he slowly spoke, his voice deep and powerful: "Xiao Shuai, can I trust you?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai’s body shook suddenly, and he firmly stood upright, almost shouting in response: "President, my life, Xiao Jianren, was given by you! Without you, I would still be wallowing in the mud." "As long as you say the word, I’ll climb mountains or dive into fire without batting an eye. If anyone dares to betray you, even if I can’t beat them, I’ll be the first to twist that bastard’s head off!" His voice quivered slightly with excitement, his eyes full of unreserved fanaticism and loyalty. Fang Cheng looked at him, nodding: "I have a very important task to entrust you with." Xiao Shuai immediately perked up, leaning forward slightly, poised to listen attentively. "Now take another 1.8 million from the box, and with the 200,000 you already have, gather two million." Fang Cheng’s voice was not loud, but carried an unquestionable authority: "I want you to use this money to build the prototype of an organization for me." "Externally, the organization will disguise itself as a cleaning company, while internally, it will be a secret group that uses professional physical means to solve various troubles for clients." "In other words, a legendary assassin group..." Xiao Shuai’s eyes instantly widened, and his breathing became rapid. He vaguely guessed something, his heart pounding wildly in his chest. For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the ticking of the wall clock and the faint sound of car horns from outside could be heard. Establishing an organization! These four words exploded in Xiao Shuai’s mind like a thunderclap, echoing endlessly. "Currently, the organization only consists of you and me." Fang Cheng continued in a deep voice: "So, all the preliminary work, including choosing an appropriate office location, building the headquarters, and recruiting the necessary personnel, will be entirely your responsibility." Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai’s expression froze. He remembered the last time in the hotel room when he had tentatively asked if he was considered part of the organization. At the time, the president said he needed to go through an assessment, and only if he performed well enough would all the details about the organization be revealed. But now, the president was telling him such a significant secret without reservation. What does this represent? This represents... complete trust! Xiao Shuai’s throat felt like it was choked, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes instantly reddened. A humble person like him, a hooligan who crawled out of the lowest strata of society. Yet, he was valued by such a powerful person and given such enormous trust! From childhood, he had no father, struggling to survive with his blind mother amidst disgrace and humiliation, being beaten and scolded was an everyday occurrence. As he grew up, to survive, he mixed with gangs as a lackey, even became a gigolo for rich women in the bar. The gang leader pointed at his nose and scolded him as "useless". The clients he served also treated him as a disposable toy. When had he ever been valued or regarded seriously by anyone? But the president in front of him was entrusting him with the task of establishing a secret organization, as casually yet solemnly as handing him a cup of tea. This appreciation, this trust, was worth a thousand, no, ten thousand times more than those two boxes of money! For a moment, Xiao Shuai even felt that the president was like his biological father. No, even closer than his real father! Fang Cheng took in Xiao Shuai’s excitement completely. Get full chapters from novel•fire.net This young man, except for his low level of education, was impeccable in other respects. He was clever, loyal, and had excellent execution and eloquence. The most crucial point was, his loyalty was off the charts. Speaking of people he could use around him. Xu Sanduo was not very well understood at the moment. Xu Hao had a sensitive identity and was quite cunning. The one who could truly be trusted with major responsibilities was this originally unremarkable hooligan. Fang Cheng asked again, his tone carrying a hint of a test. Xiao Shuai wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes sharply, standing straight with his feet together. Then, like a soldier being inspected, he stood at attention, using every ounce of his strength to answer: "I promise, even if it kills me, I will handle the task you assigned perfectly!" Fang Cheng was very satisfied with his attitude: "Your current primary task is to find a place for the organization to settle down.
