Chapter 142 So I actually have a vacation
The shareholders' meeting lasted longer than Liu Ren had anticipated.
The shareholders discussed how to expand and generate profits in the next stage of the Zero Agreement, as well as where to deploy their resources and which places and individuals to prioritize for cooperation.
There is a lot of content.
Liu Ren felt drowsy listening to this.
He is not good at business and management.
Although I had held similar positions before, they were all forced upon me due to the needs of the job.
Now that people are thinking about these tedious things, they don't want to use their brains as much.
Even if you try, you'll only come to the conclusion that "I can just throw a punch."
Simplify the complex —
One of the foundations for the establishment of Zero Association was indeed the shareholders' trust in Liu Ren's abilities.
In the past six months, he has also demonstrated results that are worthy of belief.
One of the main reasons why Zero Alliance was able to get through the early stages smoothly and successfully control more and more people who had fallen into the trap was Liu Ren.
No matter how much time passes afterward, as long as Liu Ren can demonstrate the strength to suppress all those who have entered the realm of the supernatural within the Zero Alliance.
His position is unshakeable.
Its value will also be realized passively.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to put any thought into business management.
Yun Chengyue also noticed this, so he didn't ask Liu Ren any questions.
This versatile workhorse, who can be moved wherever he's needed, should be put on hold for now.
The meeting lasted all day.
Because it was online, the agenda was shortened considerably.
With AI used to organize content and refine core topics, office efficiency is always surprisingly fast.
"Well then, that's all for today—Brother Liu, do you need a few days off?"
Yun Chengyue tagged Liu Ren, who had been logged in all day, just as the meeting was about to end.
"Huh? I still have a day off?" Liu Ren replied in surprise.
There were several floating windows in front of him that only he could see.
It was playing various news reports.
These are mostly events that happened around the world this month.
Of course, although the news seems to have highlights every day.
The reports here are all incredibly detailed.
For example, a country's leader is assassinated, a country experiences a series of air raids by trolls, a major maritime transport route is attacked, or a country is exposed for conducting inhumane human experiments, etc.
They all seem to be worth paying attention to.
But in summary, it can be summed up in one word—chaos.
Everything was basically as Liu Ren had predicted.
“No, there wasn’t one, but you’ve been working for three months straight, so I think you might need to rest for a few days to relieve your fatigue,” Yun Chengyue said. “It’s also very important to balance work and rest.”
"That makes sense, but isn't it a bit too late for you to say this now?"
"It's not too late, it's just around the corner. You can take a break early and keep an eye on things during the New Year's holiday."
"Damn, I thought you were really being kind."
"Of course I mean well, Brother Liu! Your leave can be extended from now until New Year's Day! That's half a month!"
"It doesn't sound like much. High school students have a month-long winter break."
"How can a corporate slave compare to a student?"
"Okay, let me know if there's anything you can't handle. Even though it's a vacation, I don't have much to do, so I'll still go to the company as usual these next few days."
"it is good."
The second half of December.
Following the Zero-Earnings Association (ZEA) shareholders' meeting, the ZEA adjusted its action department's execution strategy and began a high-intensity offensive to carry out missions.
Half of this is so that we can have a peaceful and safe New Year.
Half of the reason was to completely stabilize the public security situation in Hualan City and create a "success template".
If Zero-Salt Association wants to continue to develop, it must provide evidence that will convince future partners.
The number of strange creatures in Hualan City began to decrease rapidly during this period.
The same applies to the number of aberrant individuals.
As the Zero-Earnings Association gradually achieved considerable results, cooperation with the municipal government was also successfully negotiated.
News media reports followed suit.
In short, from a network perspective, the entire city of Hualan is getting better.
Because public opinion has been using Liu Ren's name.
As a result, the number of people who decided to settle in Hualan City experienced another small surge.
To give Yao Qing and the others the opportunity to train on their own, Liu Ren did not join the attack during his few days of leave.
Instead, she took advantage of the time to visit the newly established research institute and meet the man who would later make outstanding contributions to the Zero Association.
"Hello, Mr. Liu!"
Ma Ming nervously reached out to shake hands with Liu Ren.
"How are the preparations for the research institute going?"
Liu Ren didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Uh, it's... it's alright...?"
"If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What's the point of saying it works?"
"This one……"
"Because strange creatures are difficult to study, even the preparatory work is difficult to carry out, right?"
“Uh, yes.” Ma Ming was somewhat surprised, then said, “Ordinary researchers can’t complete such a dangerous task, so I propose…”
He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should say what he was about to say.
"What suggestion?"
"...I suggest replacing all the researchers with those who have entered the realm of the supernatural. Or at least, assigning supernatural beings to assist them," Ma Ming finally said.
If you said that outside, you'd definitely get scolded.
Because both of these options require a significant investment.
This kind of investment cannot be achieved simply by having money.
Given the current value of those who enter the realm of the supernatural, and considering the high salaries the company pays them, the best option to recoup the costs is to send these people out on missions.
Then, salary adjustments are made based on the task completion rate.
It would be such a waste to throw it into a research institute.
It's like losing money.
What's worse is that we don't know when we'll be able to break even.
Any investor would probably hate this kind of uncertainty.
However, Liu Ren's answer was unexpected by Ma Ming.
He countered with, "As the director here, do you also want to try your hand at being a ghost?"
“Ah…yes…” Ma Ming nodded. “To understand the supernatural, you must first come into contact with it. Always having others do it for you is not a long-term solution. I suggest…you try to enter the supernatural yourself.”
"Entering the ghost realm can be fatal."
"Yes, but I think it's something that must be done."
When Ma Ming answered, he didn't seem to feel like someone who wanted to take risks.
He possesses a unique quality that allows him to sacrifice even himself for the sake of research.
“Sure,” Liu Ren replied affirmatively. “However, you’d better master the ‘Observation of Myself’ technique first before attempting to enter the realm of the supernatural.”
"Are you talking about the meditation method you shared?" Ma Ming asked with interest. "I've already started practicing it and have successfully entered the beginner level."
"Oh? Then you have some talent." Liu Ren said, "When you've mastered this technique to a minor level, or even become proficient, you can start trying to enter the realm of the supernatural. If you're going to enter the realm of the supernatural, it's best to choose the weakest supernatural creature at the early stage of a low-level one to minimize the chance of something going wrong."
“I have something I’d like to ask you, Mr. Liu,” Ma Ming suddenly spoke up, as if he had just remembered something. Before Liu Ren could respond, he continued, “Besides the ‘Contemplation of Self’ method, are there any other methods to enhance mental strength through meditation? I remember there should be many similar methods, right?”
