Chapter 303 The Whereabouts of the Parents
"How is this going?"
"Who is this guy? Holy crap, is he some kind of hidden big shot?"
"No wonder he dared to speak like that, he must be a high-ranking member of the Fudao Group!"
For a moment, everyone in the hall was shocked and discussed it excitedly. This kind of plot, which only appeared in novels and TV dramas, actually happened in real life!
Wu Zixuan, Sun Zihan, and the others were utterly incredulous at this moment, their minds almost going blank!
Liu Guoguo suddenly looked at Li Lan. She came from a good family and had seen more of the world, so she immediately realized that Wu Zixuan's cousin... must be no ordinary person.
He has status!
What exactly does that nameplate represent? How could it make the HR of Fudao Group treat it with such utmost respect?
Suddenly, she felt a pang of panic and regret!
When did Wu Zixuan get such relatives? Isn't she a poor girl?
Oh no, I think I made a mistake again!
Before the Earth underwent its transformation, she came from a very wealthy family and was considered a middle-class elite with considerable influence in society. However, she was also well aware that in this era, cultivators were the true masters, especially in the face of a behemoth like the Restoration Daoist Group. Her family background... was actually insignificant.
Therefore, Li Lan, with such a background... is someone she cannot afford to offend!
While everyone was still in shock, Zheng Fang said urgently, "Sir, please wait a moment. We will inform the president immediately, and he will be here to see you soon."
She was extremely cautious.
Seeing this, Liu Guoguo and the others were once again completely astonished!
President?!
Who exactly is Li Lan? Why would the president of Fudaozhe need to receive him?
Li Lan remained calm.
Sure enough, several figures quickly entered the hall. The leader was a man in a suit and tie, who was none other than Zeng Chenglin. Behind him, Ye Hudie was dressed in a professional pencil skirt, looking like an assistant!
"Li Lan!"
Upon seeing Li Lan, Zeng Chenglin exclaimed with delight, "It really is you!"
He strode over, reached out, grabbed Li Lan's hand, and laughed, "Hahaha, I knew you'd see the light!"
"Come on, let's go to my office and talk it over!"
They were incredibly enthusiastic!
Everyone around was extremely envious!
They were all job seekers; they didn't even dare to hope they would be hired. They were just happy to come for the interview and experience the atmosphere of a large corporation.
But now, someone can actually chat and laugh so casually with the top executives of the Fudao Group? How can one not sigh at the vicissitudes of fate?
"it is good."
Li Lan did not refuse, and then said, "By the way, I just gave your HR two suggestions, which may have been a bit presumptuous of me..."
Zeng Chenglin waved his hand dismissively and said, "Zheng Fang, I won't inquire further about what Mr. Li Lan said. Just do as he says—"
Zheng Fang lowered her head and repeatedly agreed, not daring to say anything more.
"I'll go over there first."
Li Lan said something to Wu Zixuan again, but Wu Zixuan hadn't reacted yet.
Li Lan and Zeng Chenglin left together.
"Everyone will be interviewed in the order they registered—"
Meanwhile, Zheng Fang took a deep breath and spoke!
Everyone was overjoyed instantly!
"Great!"
"Thanks to Mr. Li Lan."
"With him here, we can have a fair interview!"
Everyone was excited.
Zheng Fang then cautiously looked at Wu Zixuan and asked, "Young lady, did you and Mr. Li Lan come together?"
"Yes, she's Li Lan's cousin!"
Wu Zixuan's best friend, who was standing next to her, excitedly spoke up, saying, "We're her best friends, and... in a sense, we're all Li Lan's sisters too!"
They were all incredibly excited, never expecting that their "older cousin" to be such a good fighter!
"Gentlemen, would you please wait in the VIP room?"
Zheng Fang immediately spoke up.
She's a veteran in the workplace, and after making a mistake, she quickly came up with a way to make amends!
Only by satisfying Li Lan can she keep everything she has!
"Okay!"
Sun Zihan and the others were extremely excited and immediately pulled Wu Zixuan to the VIP room.
The VIP lounge was exquisitely and luxuriously decorated and very quiet. Zheng Fang had coffee, tea and other beverages brought to her, which seemed extremely high-end, a stark contrast to the main hall she had been in before, and a completely different experience.
"Zixuan, you've been hiding this for too long! Your cousin is actually a big shot!"
"Yeah, I knew it! How could someone who's 41 still be looking for a job? 41 is the age when people are already successful!"
"With a powerful figure backing us, do you think we might actually have a chance to join the Fudao Group?"
A group of girlfriends spoke up one after another.
Wu Zixuan's expression was complicated at this moment; while she was happy, there was also some confusion in her eyes.
What exactly happened? My cousin said he had just recovered, so how come he has such a high status?
Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw a new message from a friend:
"I'm Guoguo, Zixuan, I'm sorry."
Liu Guoguo added her as a friend through the class group.
"There were a lot of misunderstandings before, I'm really sorry. Let's be good friends from now on? [Playful]"
"Zixuan, please approve this quickly! [Frustrated]"
She sent several friend requests in a row!
"Liu Guoguo is so realistic. She was so sarcastic to you before, but now she still has the nerve to come here."
"That's right, Zixuan, just ignore her."
"She's just opportunistic. If it weren't for my older cousin, would she have acted this way?"
Everyone else just shrugged.
Wu Zixuan silently deleted the friend request without replying.
"Ugh, she even asked me for my cousin's contact information! That's enough!"
At this moment, Sun Zihan looked complicated. When Liu Guoguo saw that Wu Zixuan had not accepted her friend request, she actually sent Sun Zihan a private message.
"Zihan, do you have Li Lan's green bubbles? [playful]"
Everyone was speechless.
"So she was after my cousin."
"That's so stupid."
They all launched an attack.
"Zixuan, speaking of which, does your cousin have a girlfriend?"
After a series of outputs, Sun Zihan suddenly looked at Wu Zixuan with curiosity.
Wu Zixuan felt the fiery gazes from her girlfriends and couldn't help but say, "Hey, my cousin is already 41! Can you all be a little more reserved?"
"What's wrong with being 41? He's a mature and handsome older man who also knows how to take care of people."
"Exactly, and he doesn't look 41 at all; he looks like our age."
"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders, Wu Zixuan, after all these years of best friends, it's your turn to find a boyfriend!"
……
And this moment.
"Young friend Li Lan, what's your decision?"
Inside an extremely luxurious office, Zeng Chenglin smiled at Li Lan.
Li Lan said calmly, "I can join the Restorationists, but there are conditions—"
Zeng Chenglin said, "Please speak."
"First, I hope you can help me find out about my parents. Years ago, the Li family attacked them, but they were rescued by a mysterious cultivator. Second, I have a certain degree of freedom and the right to decide whether to participate in the actions of the Dao Restorers."
The disappearance of his parents was like a stone sinking into the sea. No matter how strong Li Lan was, it would be difficult for him to search the entire earth on his own. After all, the Fudao Group was a global force with more sources of information.
Moreover, now that he has completely broken ties with the Li family, Li Lan does not want to reveal his strength to destroy the Li family before finding out the existence of "them". So it is more appropriate to stay with the Restorationists first.
Zeng Chenglin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
"I agree. Welcome to the South City branch of the Fudao Group!"
He extended his hand, and Li Lan gently shook it.
"Regarding your parents, I will arrange for someone to investigate immediately. When your parents disappeared, there were very few high-level cultivators. Any actions taken should be recorded—"
Zeng Chenglin spoke first, then added, "In addition, we are currently undertaking an operation and are in dire need of manpower. I wonder if you would be interested?"
Li Lan smiled and said, "The True Martial Scripture?"
Zeng Chenglin was surprised, but then he remembered that Li Lan had interrogated Li Jinglin alone, so it wasn't surprising.
"Indeed, the True Martial Scripture!"
He spoke solemnly: "This scripture was found by us on Wudang Mountain. Although it is an incomplete copy, it can be confirmed that it was written by the Zhenwu Emperor in ancient times. The Zhenwu Emperor was an unparalleled powerhouse among ancient cultivators, and the legacy he left behind is extremely precious!"
"I won't lie to you, the Global Cultivators Conference is at the end of this year. This conference is actually a global division of interests, and the basis for this division of interests is the strength of the major corporations!"
"Therefore, the scriptures must be sent to headquarters, where they will be deciphered. Only then can the geniuses cultivate them, and only then can we, the Dao Restorers, retain our seats in the Global Alliance and have a sufficient voice at the year-end cultivators' conference."
He said with great concern, "But that's precisely why the Li family and other forces are trying every means to seize it. They won't give up easily. After their southern city base is destroyed and Li Jinglin dies, there will definitely be an even fiercer counterattack!"
“We have applied to headquarters, and they will send people directly to escort the scriptures to the headquarters in Kyoto. However, danger will remain during this period.”
Li Lan nodded and said, "I understand, I can help."
Upon hearing his agreement, Zeng Chenglin was overjoyed. After all, he had personally witnessed Li Lan's strength; he could kill a group of cultivators with just a fire extinguisher!
"This is the cultivation method of our Daoists. I will have someone prepare the spiritual energy container you need for the early stage of Qi Refining later!"
He took a file folder from the drawer, handed it to Li Lan, and said, "Destroy it after you've read it."
Li Lan took it, opened it, and scanned it. Indeed, they were all the most basic Qi cultivation methods.
These traditions are considered treasures on Earth, but to Li Lan now, they mean nothing. In fact, if he wanted to, he could create thousands or even tens of thousands of corresponding Qi refining methods.
"remember."
Li Lan handed the document back to Zeng Chenglin, who was immediately surprised. "A photographic memory?"
"Practice diligently. Your talent is too great. Perhaps when the people from headquarters arrive, you can go with them!"
Zeng Chenglin remarked with emotion, "Kyoto is truly the realm of cultivators!"
"Oh, by the way, help me forge a weapon..."
Li Lan suddenly spoke up, thought for a moment, and said, "A warhammer, the heavier the better."
The fire extinguisher from last time was still a bit unsuitable.
In the eyes of Zeng Chenglin and others, he is someone who relies on brute force to fight, so using a hammer or something like that best fits his persona.
"it is good!"
Zeng Chenglin nodded.
