Chapter 49 The First Interim Meeting of the Board of Directors
I have known Wang Jiu for more than two months, and Chen Qingming will still be shocked by his whimsical remarks from time to time. This sword spirit of the God-Sword in the sky seems to have never known common sense, and has repeatedly used shocking ideas to make Chen Qingming face the crisis of myocardial infarction.
"What did you say?"
Wang Jiu seriously repeated his request: "As the chairman, I ask you to conscientiously perform your duties as the general manager of the company and become an idol."
"Why do I want to be an idol??"
Wang Jiu explained: "Because this is the only profit plan that can be produced after collective discussion by the company's senior management, and you are the only candidate to implement the plan."
"This, this is too ridiculous!" Chen Qingming was dumbfounded, and after a while he questioned a little angrily, "Why is this the only solution!"
"Do you have a second plan?"
"... Then why am I the only candidate!?"
Wang Jiu said: "I am the chairman and do not interfere in the specific management. Li Chaolu and Li Xinyu cannot show up in public. They do not meet the basic conditions for being idols. Naturally, you are the only candidate."
"I, I don't know how to be an idol at all!"
Wang Jiu said: "It doesn't matter, I know one thing. I heard Luo Yu and Yueming chatting before."
After saying that, Wang Jiu pondered for a moment, took out a few pieces of rags and balls of cotton from his pocket, and then used his fingers to fly, processing these debris at a dazzling speed. After a moment, he made a pair of cat-ear-shaped head jewelry and put them on Chen Qingming's head.
"What are you going to do?!" Chen Qingming was shocked.
Wang Jiu said: "Next, try to learn how to meow."
Chen Qingming said embarrassedly: "Why should I learn to meow in cats?"
"In order to become an idol," Wang Jiu explained seriously, and knocked off the girl's hand that tried to take off her headdress. "I think you have a serious misunderstanding of the concept of idols. This is not a ridiculous profession. Being able to bring happiness to others through your own behavior is a noble profession that highly gives back to society. Not only is it not ridiculous, but respectable."
"But, but this is too shameful."
"Shame is only caused by distortion of cognition," said Wang Jiu. "You are born into a wealthy family and a cultivator. You are born in the ruling class and have natural exploitation of the masses. Therefore, you think serving the masses is a shameful act, and you also think that the happiness of the masses is worthless. Therefore, you are ashamed of becoming an idol."
"I don't think so..." Chen Qingming tried to refute, but found that the refutation was seriously insufficient. "I just, just not suitable to be an idol."
"You don't even have a clear understanding of your idol. It is a highly irresponsible manifestation of your own irresponsibility. In fact, you are just using this as an excuse to avoid the responsibilities you should assume."
Chen Qingming opened his mouth several times, but found that he was speechless.
Why did this white-board stupid sword suddenly become so eloquent?
"Because Luo Yu used to refute those doubters like this."
"...Okay, it's the story of your fairy and demon war and the Nine Immortal Lord again."
After several stalemates, Chen Qingming had to admit that he could not resist this serious guy. After scolding Wang Jiu in his heart, he asked reluctantly: "Okay, tell me what to do."
Wang Jiu thought about it and passed a picture to Chen Qingming's mind through the master-slave contract.
Chen Qingming's little face turned red: "This, this, this, this, this is the idol!"
"This is just one of the basic skills of idols. It is similar to the first move when you practice the dominant body. Although the effect is limited, it is in line with your current abilities. After repeated training and mastering the essence of this move, you can deepen your understanding of the way of idols."
"Yes, is that true?" Chen Qingming was a little confused by this high-level commentary. He felt in a daze that this sentence seemed to make some sense.
"Yes." After Wang Jiu gave a positive answer, he urged, "Okay, let's do it as the legend."
"Okay, I, I'll try it." Next, Chen Qingming cleared his throat, then bent his hands on his chest like cat claws, his legs bent slightly, his face blushed, his head lowered, and murmured softly: "Meow..."
"puff!"
"puff!"
Li Chaolu's laughter and Li Xinyu's nosebleed sounded at the same time.
"Enough! I'm not going to do it anymore!" Chen Qingming blushed and wanted to drip bleeding. He took off his headwear and threw it back to Wang Jiu, and then ran away in a panic without looking back.
Li Chaolu rolled around the ground with a smile, unable to speak at all.
While wiping the bleeding from the nose, Li Xinyu recalled the scene he had just witnessed with an intoxicated expression.
"Wang Jiu, girl Qingming... is so great! I swear, that scene just now will definitely make many people want to lose their fortunes!"
Wang Jiu responded seriously: "Just just now, that was just one of the basic skills of Qingzhou idols in the Jiuzhou era. The complete set of equipment should also include cat claws, cat tails and maid skirts."
"Wow, it's such a fascinating era." Li Xinyu's nose bleeding began to flow again.
After Li Chaolu had enough laughter, she wiped her tears and asked, "What should I do after that? Let Sister Qingming...uh, will Chen Qingming work hard to become an idol?"
Wang Jiu said: "This is the only business plan at present. Next, I will follow the Qingzhou idol training method and carefully cultivate Chen Qingming."
"Puff hahaha." Li Chaolu couldn't help laughing again, and said while laughing, "I will also work hard to do my job well and help Qingming girls become qualified idols, hahahaha!"
——
After the company's senior management meeting, Wang Jiu returned to Chenyuan and found that his mount was in a state of death with no desire to live.
For basic humanitarian reasons, Wang Jiu poured her a cup of hot water, which made Chen Qingming look even more sad and depressed.
After thinking about it, Wang Jiu went to the warehouse to get her a water jug and a set of clothes for her.
As a result, Chen Qingming slapped it on the ground: "I hate it so much! What are you thinking!"
"I'm thinking you should need these more now, unless your standards for personal hygiene have dropped to the level of non-civilized organisms, otherwise..."
"It's not what you think!" Chen Qingming protested angrily, "I am opposing your idol plan! It's so ridiculous!"
Wang Jiu said: "So that's the case. You are opposing the company's current business strategy. As the general manager and the company's director, you do have the power to make suggestions. So wait a moment and I will convene an extraordinary board of directors to review the matter."
"What?"
"Next, I announce that the first extraordinary meeting of Jiuminglu Company's board of directors has begun now, and the participants are Chairman Wang Jiu and Director Chen Qingming. The first topic is the objection on the company's business strategy. Given that the participants are already familiar with the objections, they voted directly. One vote for supporters is Chen Qingming. Two votes for opponents, Wang Jiu."
"Wait, why do you have two votes?!"
Wang Jiu frowned: "Because I am the chairman, this is the basic content written in the company's articles of association. Haven't you read it?"
"...Wait, so, there are only you and me on the board of directors now. No matter how you vote, you will win!"
"Yes, so please continue to implement your company strategy and strive to become an idol."
"I don't do it!" Chen Qingming stood up in anger, "Enough, I won't play it anymore. This game is too stupid. What kind of company and idol, you can go to whoever you like!"
Wang Jiu pondered for a moment: "You mean, are you planning to resign from the positions of general manager and director?"
"That's right! I'm going to quit!"
"Yes, but according to the personnel management measures, you need to pay a penalty of 100,000 spirit stones."
"The penalty for liquidated contract is 100,000 spirit stones!" Chen Qingming jumped three feet high again, "Why is there such a thing!"
"This is a basic constraint established to prevent the company's executives from leaving arbitrarily and affecting the company's normal operations. The amount is based on the executive's salary..."
"I mean it's just a game from the beginning! Why are you taking it so seriously!"
Wang Jiu explained: "Even if it is a game, there will be basic rules of the game. Can you use horses to walk on the field and elephant to walk on the sun when playing chess? Respecting rules is a person's basic quality, whether it is a game or not."
Chen Qingming was forced into a desperate situation again.
Chen Qingming's heart was broken several times by Wang Jiu's words. She knew that she was really not the kind of extremely smart person, but she couldn't even tell a stupid sword. This was really... so much so that she had to doubt whether her IQ was really incomplete.
In despair, Chen Qingming had to consider whether he needed to self-harm his body or self-destruct his spiritual consciousness, and then applied for work-related injuries for several years to avoid labor...
"I personally recommend that you not do this."
Chen Qingming was so scared that he felt clever all over: "Hey, you are reading my thoughts again! I told you a long time ago that you are not allowed to look at my thoughts casually!"
"Yes, I will not read your heart with the power of the Lord-Slave Contract unless the following emergencies occur, including war, coup, flood..."
"Then how did you know what I was thinking just now?"
"When you were tranced, you accidentally expressed your thoughts."
Chen Qingming moaned in despair for a while, wishing he could die on the spot.
After a long time, the girl felt depressed: "Okay, I know. I won't resign. I will do whatever you want me to do. But don't forget before that, running a company is just a side business, and my main business is still practice."
Wang Jiu said: "Yes, so the theme of this afternoon is to practice new swordsmanship."
"New sword technique?"
"Well, in response to the incompatible situation where your non-moving body is incompatible with the Nine Dragon Sword Heart, I have been trying to tailor a set of sword techniques for you. However, because I do not have enough understanding of the spiritual wind and the laws of the world in the new world, it was not designed until not long ago." Wang Jiu explained and concluded, "Overall, this set of sword techniques is average, but the advantage is that the threshold for practice is low and the demand for resources is not high. It is suitable for a cultivator like you with poor qualifications and poor resources."
"……Thanks."
"The sword technique is called Lingmao Sword Technique. Now I will demonstrate the practice method for you."
