Chapter 849 - Personnel Placement
The opening ceremony is a huge thing for any sect but it seems to be of no important significance for Gao Ge.
Simply put, if Master Guanshan didn’t stop him, Gao Ge would just buy some firecrackers at a cost of five yuan.
Gao Ge does think so but Master Guanshan and the others disagree.
Gao Ge cannot do anything about it so he just leaves it to them.
He sits on the balcony. There is a redwood table with a tea set on it.
Gao Ge used to drink tea with a mug but while he was in Shan City, he was deeply affected by Susu, which makes him somewhat stylish now.
This seems to be a very awful thing.
The mountaintop villa that belongs to Gao Ge is situated in a good location. He can have a panoramic view of the whole Star Sect here.
This is enough to prove that Master Guanshan and the others make such an arrangement through mature consideration.
On the table, apart from that tea set, there is a notebook and a pen.
Having taken a sip of tea, he seems to have thought of something so he sits up, picks up the pen and starts to write something down on the notebook.
Xia Lu arrives behind Gao Ge slowly and sticks out her head to take a look.
“Hey. Good for you! You are aware of the responsibilities of a sovereign now!” Xia Lu says grinningly with her hands on her back.
Gao Ge doesn’t look back. He knows that Xia Lu is behind him. As a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master, if he were not vigilant enough to notice her arrival, he would have been long dead.
“Let me take a look.” Xia Lu takes the notebook, “Penalty Office, Intelligence Office, Metaphysics Office, Martial Arts Office... What are these?”
“Since I’ve established a sect, I should make it like a sect.” Gao Ge grins and stretches himself, his eyes sparkling, “Here is what I think. A sect must be governed by certain rules. The executor of the rules must be a trustable and capable enough man. I decide to assign Master Guanshan to be the director of the Penalty Office. As to the Metaphysics Office, as its name implies, it involves a wide range of things, including geomantic omen and Taoist skills. Hence, Wen Yihuan is absolutely the right person. Yet, he is still not capable enough now but it doesn’t matter. As to the Martial Arts Office, it will be in the charge of your brother. And you will be the deputy director.”
“Why me?” Xia Lu blinks her eyes.
“Shengtang is my brother-in-law,” when Gao Ge says that, Xia Lu clearly blushes. He grins and sees her facial expression. Then, he continues saying, “The director of the Martial Arts Office must be strong enough. Shengtang is the most suitable person for the position but I think he is not interested in these things. Hence, I need a deputy director to deal with the regular affairs.”
Xia Lu rolls her eyes at Gao Ge, “You can make another one be the deputy director.”
Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “If I appoint another person as the deputy director, can that person have a say? The deputy director will be bullied by your brother for sure. Yet, you are different. Anyway, only you can bully him. He cannot dare to bully you.”
Xia Lu stares at Gao Ge with a queer look.
“You are so scheming!”
Gao Ge says shamelessly with clasped hands, “I’m so flattered.”
Xia Lu thumps Gao Ge on his chest, “You are so cheeky!”
Gao Ge chuckles.
“As to the Intelligence Office, needless to say, the bearded man must be the director, right?” Xia Lu says.
Gao Ge nods.
“What about the other people? How are you going to arrange them? He Youniang has taken her family members to join our sect.”
“She?” Gao Ge laughs, “No need.”
Xia Lu snorts, “I think no arrangement is the most significant arrangement. Tell me, are you going to make He Youniang the next sovereign?”
Gao Ge is noncommittal.
“Fine. Anyway, I think that girl is not bad. Besides, since she can join our sect at the moment, her loyalty is self-evident. However, given your current personnel placement, I’m afraid that the He Family will be disgruntled,” Xia Lu says, “They must think that He Youniang has been unfairly treated.”
Gao Ge waves his hand.
“I trust her.”
Xia Lu says nothing more then.
...
Shortly, the personnel placement has been spread among the whole Star Sect.
There is one more thing apart from what Gao Ge has told Xia Lu.
Yue Xincheng becomes the deputy sovereign of the Star Sect.
Although Yue Xincheng is still not here, Gao Ge will keep the position for him forever.
Wen Yihuan, Master Guanshan and the others are rather satisfied.
They are satisfied surely not because they are assigned as directors.
It is Gao Ge’s attitude that matters.
They are all aware that Gao Ge will be a hands-off boss, but given the current assignment made by Gao Ge, it means that he must have given some thought to it.
That is enough to make them feel touched for a while.
“Humph. He is kind of conscientious but why are you a deputy director?” Xia Shengtang asks in confusion.
Xia Lu laughs. Of course she won’t tell him what Gao Ge has said to her. She says, “Just because he thinks no one but me is suitable for the position. I’m your sister. This kind of becomes our own business. He is showing his trust in us!”
“Okay...” Hearing that reply, Xia Shengtang nods with satisfaction, “It sounds fine. Tell him to rest assured. I don’t care about the others but as to the people in the Martial Arts Office, I promise I will make proper arrangements.”
“Okay. Okay. Okay...”
In another yard.
A group of young people is disgruntled.
“What for? Our family came all the way to join the Star Sect and our master gets nothing?”
“Exactly! She should be at least a deputy director even if she can’t be a director! Even Chen Guo and Liang Bufan are assigned as deputy directors but our master is not assigned any role at all. Why?”
“Humph! This is outrageous! We must talk to our master!”
These young people are fervent and excited.
Right at the moment, a cold voice comes.
“No need to find me. I’m here.”
“Master!”
They all stare at He Youniang with awe in their eyes.
They never took He Youniang seriously before but since she became the master of the He Family, they have kind of realized what she can do. She acts rather decisively. Besides, she has got her vicious lackey–Zhao Jin around, which makes them feel rather insecure. They even feel that their actions and speeches are all under He Youniang’s control.
“Since you came here, you’ve no longer been the He Family but the members of the Star Sect.” He Youniang looks at them coldly, “If you feel aggrieved about being in the Star Sect, you can leave anytime.”
They are all shocked by He Youniang’s words.
“Master, we just feel that it is rather unfair for you... It was so great when we were in Shanxi. You got to decide everything. Why are you only an ordinary disciple of the Star Sect now...”
historical
He Youniang heaves a sigh.
She suddenly feels that these people are really stupid.
They are all related to her by blood but none of them understands her thoughts.
She has never been interested in being the master of the He Family.
Being Gao Ge’s student is a lot more interesting.
