Chapter 154 Doing nothing, earning a million dollars a year
"Hello, I'm Gu Minghui."
"I am Ye Qingzhou."
"Oh? You figured it out so quickly?"
"Yes, I want to join Tianji Research Institute, but I have a little trouble now..."
After listening to Ye Qingzhou's story, Gu Minghui was speechless, but finally agreed to help Ye Qingzhou finish the cleaning work: "I will send someone over to wash the floor right away. Don't worry, you won't be in trouble."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Then Gu Minghui reminded Ye Qingzhou: "Take care of your pets, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to the Wushu Association."
"Well, I will restrain them."
Although the ones who were eaten were two members of the Origin Blood Society with evil intentions, Tang Zhuoran and Su Yi'an were nationalities of the East Pole Kingdom after all. It was still taboo for monsters to eat people and could easily cause public panic.
But the trouble for Ye Qingzhou was nothing more than a trivial matter for Gu Minghui, which could be covered up by just saying hello.
"Do you need me to report to the headquarters of Tianji Research Institute?"
"No, I will send someone to contact you later and issue you the ID documents you need. If you have any needs in terms of cultivation in the future, you can contact me. The management of Tianji Research Institute is quite loose, and it is not necessary. A sweatshop that clocks in every day.”
Gu Minghui was sincere and at least more reliable than Zhao Zhiyi. Not only did he help Ye Qingzhou solve the identity problem of Yingyue and Youruo, but his attitude was also mainly cooperation.
Unlike Zhao Zhiyi, who took the resources distributed by the government and asked Ye Qingzhou to be personally dependent on others.
This is simply like using public money to raise your own dog, and the abacus is making a lot of noise.
It's a pity that Ye Qingzhou has no interest in being a dog for others.
Gu Minghui was so generous without asking for anything in return. Even Ye Qingzhou was a little surprised: "You don't seem to be interested in "The Legend of Emperor Yan"?"
"Haha~"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Minghui laughed loudly: "The currently available history of Dongji Country is more than five thousand years old. Coupled with some unique historical books found in the secret realm of the cave, our civilization has lasted for at least tens of thousands of years. . Do you know how many magical techniques the ancient sages created during such a long time?”
Listening to Gu Minghui's narration, Ye Qingzhou seemed to feel how majestic and vast the history of Dongji Country was.
Gu Minghui continued: "Emperor Yan is just one of the Five Emperors. Although his inheritance of skills is very important, it is not that important. In the final analysis, the key to whether the skills are powerful or not depends on who practices them. We in Dongji Kingdom What is lacking now is not skills, but talents like you, so in my opinion, your value is higher than the inheritance of Emperor Yan.”
"That's it."
At this moment, Ye Qingzhou truly felt how much Gu Minghui valued him.
The next day, the door to Ye Qingzhou's house was rang.
The visitor was a twenty-seven-year-old woman, wearing a black uniform and carrying a black suitcase in her hand. Her face was expressionless: "I am Li Jingshan, Dr. Gu's assistant."
"He told me about you, please come in."
After confirming that the identity was correct, Ye Qingzhou invited the person into the house, and Youruo also brought tea over at this time, looking obedient and obedient.
When Li Jingshan saw it, her heart was beating fast, her whole body was on alert, and her muscles were completely tense.
As a close confidant of Gu Minghui, she knew Youruo's identity before she came.
The cute-looking little loli in front of me is not human at all. She even ate a living person yesterday, feeling deeply emotional and stuffy.
She was instinctively frightened by being with such inhuman monsters.
However, she did not forget her responsibilities. According to Gu Minghui's instructions, she handed the three completed documents to Ye Qingzhou: "Mr. Ye, you will be a red-level researcher at our Tianji Research Institute from now on."
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, purple, these are the internal professional title ratings of Tianji Research Institute.
Ye Qingzhou has just joined, has not made any achievements, and has achieved nothing, so he is only at the red level for the time being.
But even at the red level, the treatment is enough to make many bitter scientific research dogs jealous to death.
With a monthly living allowance of 10,000 yuan, it is easy to apply for project funds of less than 300,000 yuan, and you can also apply for the use of scientific research equipment from Tianji branches in major cities.
This is what is called leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
If something happens, it will take off on the spot and gain both fame and fortune.
…………
Linjiang Wushu Association, President's Office.
Duoduoduo~
"Come in."
"President."
"It's you, Luo Jun."
Bai Yuanhu looked at Luo Jun, smiled at him and nodded.
Obviously during this period, since Luo Jun took over the position of captain of the third law enforcement team of the Wushu Association, he has been working hard and performed well, which made Bai Yuanhu very satisfied.
At least Luo Jun was much more reliable than He Zhongyang and did not mess around and make the situation difficult to deal with.
"President, something happened again at Ye Qingzhou's place."
Luo Jun looked serious and reported the collected information to Bai Yuanhu truthfully: "Just yesterday, two residents at No. 169, Jiangshan Dijing Community, both disappeared mysteriously. I received a report, and just when I wanted to intervene in the investigation, I was The people in the city stopped it.”
Bai Yuanhu remained calm and said in a calm tone: "I know about this. The two missing people are members of the Yuanxue Society. Their identities have been confirmed. The person responsible for taking over is the person from the Tianji Research Institute. The matter is confidential and the local martial arts association has nothing to do with it." Quan intervenes.”
"..."
Luo Jun suddenly felt suffocated: "When did Ye Qingzhou hook up with Tianji Research Institute?"
Bai Yuanhu glanced at Lao Luo: "What, you are not convinced?"
Luo Jun lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Is this the case of the massacre of the He family?"
When He Zhongyang was still alive, Luo Jun's relationship with him was not that good. Even He Zhongyang's death actually benefited Luo Jun and he was promoted from deputy captain to captain.
But from the beginning to the end, Luo Jun could not let go of this incident. He only felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
After all, He Zhongyang was the captain of the Wushu Association's law enforcement team, and his whole family was wiped out. However, after the final investigation, it was found that it might be related to Ye Qingzhou, and he was immediately stopped by the people above.
Luo Jun felt very unwilling, or in other words, he was worried that one day he would end up with the same fate.
Bai Yuanhu is also someone who has been here before, so he naturally understands Luo Jun's thoughts: "Do you think we shouldn't let Ye Qingzhou do nothing?"
Luo Jun nodded: "It is undeniable that he is a martial arts genius, but his actions are too lawless. Isn't the original intention of the establishment of the Wushu Association to manage and restrain martial arts masters? What's more, Ye Qingzhou and the Linjiang Xu family How can the Wushu Association just sit back and ignore this?”
Within today's martial arts association, the backbone of the main force has basically undergone a major change. The martial arts families that were originally in power have lost power in many cities.
On the contrary, many martial arts masters from the civilian class have risen strongly and have risen to positions one after another, taking control of the real power of the martial arts association.
This can be seen by looking at the fact that Bai Yuanhu, the president of the Linjiang Martial Arts Association, is a martial artist from a commoner background. Officials have personally stepped down from the platform, and the rise of civilian martial arts masters is the general trend.
But even so, the martial arts family is still an indispensable force in the martial arts world. It is impossible for the government to issue a policy to prohibit civilian martial arts geniuses from contacting the martial arts family.
It's like a person received nine years of compulsory education, then went to high school, was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, learned a skill, and was about to show off his talents. Suddenly someone jumped out and said: "Such a genius must not go to private companies and universities." When working in a foreign company, you are not allowed to go abroad, so what must you do...'
This is completely treating talents as cattle and horses.
In the original martial arts world, the 'controlling faction' within Dongji Kingdom had this idea. They felt that the martial arts association could not be controlled by a "common man" like Qi Shengtian.
Then, the people from the control faction used the method of training eagle dogs to train the first batch of civilian martial arts masters. In this way, they wanted to seize the voice and control of the martial arts association and even the entire Dongji Kingdom martial arts world from Qi Shengtian. right. Martial arts families know that when dealing with real talents, the main thing is to win them over.
But the rich and powerful have a condescending attitude towards martial arts geniuses, treating them like running dogs, ordering them around and giving orders.
For obedient martial arts masters, the control faction will give them a few bones.
Those who are disobedient will be suppressed and subjected to various obedience tests, which is euphemistically called "sharpening their temperament."
The final result was that Zhang Xinwu defected from the Martial Arts Association and led a large number of proud and qualified civilian martial arts geniuses to establish Xinshaliu.
This incident had a great impact on the martial arts world of Dongji Country at that time, and even directly changed the structure of the martial arts world. To this day, it is still a taboo that cannot be mentioned in public.
Bai Yuanhu was a person who experienced it, so many things are still vivid in his mind.
He looked at Luo Jun: "Law and order are based on absolute violence. Martial arts itself is a kind of powerful violence, so the martial arts world has its own rules. When it came to Ye Xiangyang's matter, our Wushu Association If you haven’t spoken out, should you speak out about He Zhongyang today?”
"Do you think this is fair? Or do you want Ye Qingzhou to become the second Zhang Xinwu?"
Luo Jun was dejected. He finally understood that the Wushu Association was nominally responsible for restraining and managing martial arts practitioners, but the rules of the Wushu Association actually had an upper limit.
The more powerful a martial artist is, or a martial arts genius with great potential, the less bound he is by rules.
Seeing this, Bai Yuanhu sighed again: "Luo Jun, a true genius is difficult to be restrained and controlled. It's not that the Wushu Association cannot see Ye Qingzhou's potential, nor does it want to prevent Ye Qingzhou's contact with the martial arts family. And. This approach has been tried a long time ago, but it is useless and even counterproductive.”
It is impossible for a true martial arts master to be a dog, let alone obey the so-called overall situation.
Because the strong person himself is the overall situation.
Just like Zhang Xinwu, when Zhang Xinwu was still a master, the control faction sent people crazy to encircle and suppress him, with a posture of killing chickens to scare monkeys at any cost.
As a result, Zhang Xinwu continued to kill and became a master.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the control faction began to want to speak out and put a tight spell on Zhang Xinwu to make him obey the overall situation.
Zhang Xinwu refused to obey, and even relied on his perseverance to successfully attack the martial saint realm, and casually uprooted the control faction, crushing all the high-ranking figures into mud, leaving them dead and their clans destroyed.
If it hadn't been for the crucial moment when two of the Four Great Gods came to fight Zhang Xinwu on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, fighting to no avail, this matter might not have ended.
Since then, Dongji Kingdom's attitude towards martial artists has changed. At least the two sides can talk to each other on an equal footing, instead of treating them completely like cattle and horses like before.
Instead, martial arts masters are diverted through various screening mechanisms.
Ordinary martial arts masters are strictly restricted and managed by the Wushu Association and given certain resources for training, but they are still positioned as high-level talents.
For example, He Zhongyang and Luo Jun are positioned in this way.
As for master-level martial arts masters, the official attitude is completely different. Basically, cooperation is based on mutual benefits and win-win results, and direct suppression rarely occurs.
Even when dealing with martial arts families with masters in charge, the official government only targets civilian martial arts families by supporting them, rather than directly punishing the martial arts families, unless the martial arts families directly rebel.
After all, within the Wushu Association, the power of martial arts families is still very strong and cannot be ignored.
Once you reach the master level, even the official government must respect you, provide you with various benefits and preferential treatment, and win over you by bundling interests.
Although Ye Qingzhou has not yet become a grandmaster, he already has the potential to become a master. Therefore, the officials will not treat Ye Qingzhou with the same attitude as they treat eagles, dogs and oxen, but will try to tie up interests.
This is why Gu Minghui and General Qinglong are so kind to Ye Qingzhou. You must know that behind them, the official forces of Dongji Kingdom are standing.
As for the Martial Saint, at this level, everything you do is basically based on your heart.
After all, you can't make a "nuclear bomb" with a mind obey the law and obey the rules of the game set by others.
It was obvious that Ye Qingzhou's talent was already better than that of Zhang Xinwu.
And with the precedent of Zhang Xinwu, the officials also knew that it was impossible to completely control a martial arts genius like Ye Qingzhou.
"President, what is our attitude towards Ye Qingzhou in the future?"
Bai Yuanhu pondered for a moment, and then said: "The treatment that should be given is sufficient, and no other ideas are allowed. Martial arts itself is a force that is difficult to control, let alone a genius of Ye Qingzhou's level? You can't have it. Destroy it when it arrives?”
In fact, it would be better if it could be destroyed, but if it is not destroyed, and a master more crazy than Zhang Xinwu emerges, wouldn't it be like shooting oneself in the foot?
This is how the original control faction was swept away into the garbage heap of history. Every time they learn something, they gain wisdom. It is impossible for the current Wushu Association to make the same mistake again.
After all, the existence of vitality will continuously give birth to new martial arts masters.
Unless all the vitality is removed, martial arts geniuses cannot be killed. Is it possible that we should follow the example of the early West Ji Kingdom and introduce some kind of "Martial Arts Act"?
This thing is of no use other than pitting ordinary people and martial arts masters against each other crazily.
Therefore, the current national policy of Dongji Country seems to be strict in the management of martial arts masters, but in actual implementation, it is very loose.
The core purpose is to live in peace with each other, develop the secret realm of the cave together, and share the benefits.
Finally, Bai Yuanhu specially reminded Luo Jun: "He Zhongyang's case ends here. The perpetrator is Guijianchou Duan Ming. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Luo Jun lowered his head.
"Ye Qingzhou has now joined the Tianji Research Institute. It can be seen that he is still willing to cooperate with the authorities. Naturally, such a peerless genius cannot use the standards of hawks and dogs to trap him, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
Bai Yuanhu was hinting to Luo Jun not to trouble Ye Qingzhou.
Luo Jun sighed: "President, I know what to do."
On the other side, Ye Qingzhou, who returned to Linjiang City, has been participating in various commendation activities for several days. First, he was greeted in Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. The principal, Zhao Dezhu, almost burst out laughing. The celebrations were more complicated than the centenary anniversary of the school. Even more solemn.
Afterwards, Ye Qingzhou accepted the city's invitation to have dinner with the mayor and was told that he had been selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Linjiang this year.
Various social honors come one after another.
Linjiang's local chamber of commerce even had its president personally invite Ye Qingzhou, hoping that he could join and become a martial arts consultant for the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce, with a monthly consulting fee of 100,000 yuan.
You can make millions a year by doing nothing!
Successful martial artists have such social influence.
Even if you don't say anything, someone will force a lot of money into your pocket.
Ye Qingzhou did not agree rashly, but first accepted Xu Yinchuan's invitation to visit Xu's house and ask for his opinion.
In the Xu family mansion, Xu Yinchuan personally received Ye Qingzhou.
"Uncle Xu, Linjiang Chamber of Commerce wants to invite me to become their member. Do you think I should agree?"
"My advice is, say yes."
Xu Yinchuan smiled and explained: "Actually, most businessmen are very smart. You don't have to worry about being bothered by various secular affairs and delaying your practice after joining the chamber of commerce. They are not that stupid. The reason why they invite you is because they like you. They even hope that your cultivation level is as high as possible, so that they can have less trouble when they go out to do business in the future.”
The social order of Dongji Kingdom is certainly stable and harmonious, but wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, especially the rise of the martial arts group, which has caused subtle changes in the original business order.
Nowadays, it is no longer popular to go to court to resolve some business disputes. Instead, in private, everyone competes in the ring and bumps into each other.
Whichever side wins, that side has the final say.
This prevents someone from fighting over business and ending up in a bloody conflict, which would be too disgraceful.
This is still within the country, and many of the capital forces from Dongji Country who go abroad to do business are much more unrestrained.
Directly inviting master or even grandmaster-level martial artists, maybe a single arena battle can directly determine the attribution of billions or even tens of billions of profits.
