Wu Jian, the head of the middle-level managers, was quietly waiting in his town residence.
After all, Zhang Bo had just left, and before he left, he told him to be careful and vigilant, so Wu Jian didn't go to rest directly.
Instead, late at night, he gathered a few middle-level managers with whom he had a good relationship to discuss the next arrangements in his town residence.
They also needed to decide what route they would take next, especially how to avoid the eyes and ears of the senior managers and fully attribute the credit to themselves once they caught the remnants of the Diesel Company or found some clues.
That was a very important question.
Just thinking about it made it clear.
The remnants of the Diesel Company were the most important thing, and their most crucial current task.
If they could capture the remnants of the Diesel Company, they would successfully rise in rank.
They wouldn't even need to continue ostracizing the senior managers; with this achievement, they could replace these senior managers in their positions and successfully enter the heart of Deherim's supreme lord, Shen Mu, becoming more qualified senior management personnel.
Therefore, these middle-level managers were currently quite excited, and all their attention had shifted to how to capture the remnants of the Diesel Company.
"We have to find a way; we must find clues in the shortest possible time and capture the remnants of the Diesel Company alive, then bring him alive before Lord Shen Mu, so that Lord Shen Mu knows that we are the most suitable managers."
Wu Jian slammed his hand directly on the table, looking at the four middle-level manager heads he most admired, his face also becoming quite solemn.
"That's right, Brother Wu Jian, we must make a good showing and perform well.
We must push out those damned senior managers and their lackeys."
The others all nodded with solemn expressions.
Then they began to discuss, as this topic was also very important to them, especially since the success of their next steps depended on their upcoming actions.
They were all very serious and responsible about whether they could search for and capture the remnants of the Diesel Company.
And in this small meeting, they had already thoroughly discussed several plans; as long as they followed the steps of the plan, some clues should appear, and if they were lucky, they might even truly capture the remnants of the Diesel Company.
After all, they represented small circles within the middle-level managers, all revolving around Wu Jian's circle.
These small circles among them were not as exclusive as those among the senior managers.
They were actually formed based on their respective interests, relationships, and the inherent compatibility of their skills and professions, essentially acting as plugins.
If talent for searching was needed, they would find the searching-type small circle.
If talent for investigation was needed, they would find the investigation-type small circle.
If talent for combat power was needed, they would find the combat-type small circle.
They were all plug-and-play.
This was also why these people could be appointed as crucial middle-level managers; after all, senior managers only needed to speak, while these middle-level managers had to personally handle matters with the grassroots personnel.
However, this was also the confidence of these middle-level managers; after all, the middle-level managers they led were all practical managers, and their subordinates had a natural advantage in initiative and organizational ability compared to those senior managers who only needed to speak to make their teams run.
This was also why they did not panic when they learned that the competition had begun; as long as they leveraged their advantages, they could show those senior managers why they dared to challenge them.
"But shouldn't Brother Wu Jian also be careful?
Based on what Brother Zhang Bo said when he left, I always feel that those senior managers and their lackeys might play dirty."
At this moment, a middle-level manager head next to Wu Jian slowly spoke, a worried expression appearing on his face.
"Yes, Brother Wu Jian, I always feel that Brother Zhang Bo's words had a hidden meaning, as if he wanted to tell us something but couldn't say it directly, speaking in riddles."
Another middle-level manager, seeing this person speak, also said, "Shouldn't we be cautious?
If something really goes wrong, then we might be in danger.
You know those senior managers and their lackeys have always wanted to put us to death.
Before, I heard from some people that those senior managers have always hated us like thorns in their eyes, wanting to directly kill us all, to slaughter us completely."
"They indeed want us dead; after all, if we want to become senior managers, then they have to step down.
If they don't want to give up their power and position, then they will definitely be at odds with us until death."
Another middle-level manager head also nodded, looking at Wu Jian, "But Brother Wu Jian, it's best if we're still very careful."
"You are worrying needlessly; there's no need to make it so bad.
After all, those senior managers have already agreed to Zhang Bo's mediation.
They can't possibly disobey Brother Zhang Bo's words, can they?
They can't possibly go to war with us during the crucial task of searching for the remnants of the Diesel Company, can they?
And even if they did go to war, they would need a reason, a suitable reason.
Do they really think that if something happened and they killed some of us, they would get away with it?"
Wu Jian merely scoffed at these words, not taking them to heart at all, and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Perhaps those words were exaggerated, just threats released by those senior managers and their lackeys to scare us.
There will certainly be conflicts, and infighting is very likely, but if they really dared to kill people, then I think Lord Shen Mu would definitely not spare them."
"Yes, that's indeed true; killing people is no ordinary matter.
If such a thing really happened, Lord Shen Mu would absolutely not let go of the murderers."
The other middle-level managers also nodded, expressing agreement with Wu Jian's words.
Although they indeed agreed with Wu Jian's words in their hearts, they also had some worries.
After all, who knew what those lunatics would do for their power and position?
A cornered dog clearly knows it will be beaten badly.
If they lost that power and position, losing the right to become senior managers, it was uncertain whether they would resort to desperate measures.
Therefore, even though they comforted themselves in this way, they still instinctively acted cautiously in their hearts.
Although Brother Zhang Bo had already confirmed that they should cooperate to first solve the most important task and matter of the Diesel Company's remnants, they did not believe that those senior managers would simply let them take this credit.
And they themselves would not simply watch as those senior managers successfully took this credit, watching these guys turn the clues of the Diesel Company's remnants and the captured remnants of the Diesel Company into a self-evident piece of evidence for their senior managers to manage these middle-level managers.
"Everyone just be careful.
Since Brother Zhang Bo said so, let's raise our vigilance.
Don't conflict with those senior managers and their lackeys for no reason.
Let's first get the remnants of the Diesel Company in our hands.
Once we find clues and I become a senior manager, and so many of our brothers become middle-level managers, then the entire management system of the Blue Star Humans in Deherim will be ours.
Then dealing with these senior managers and their lackeys will be as easy as turning over one's hand."
Wu Jian snorted at this thought, and seriously told the four middle-level manager heads closest to him, "At that time, whoever says so, it will be us who say so.
No matter how powerful or how much these senior managers think, they will still have to kneel before us."
"That's right, Brother Wu Jian, at that time, you will be the unique head among us; no matter what others say, it won't matter; only what Brother Wu Jian says will matter."
The faces of the four middle-level manager heads before him lit up with excitement, and their faces even flushed red as they looked at Wu Jian.
And after they spoke these words, they all said them with conviction, without the slightest hint of shame, because this was their declaration, an implicit acknowledgment that they only recognized Wu Jian as the supreme chief.
At that time, they would also replace the senior managers; Zhang Caidong and Zhang Bo would be irrelevant.
Of course, they still held some respect for Zhang Bo in their hearts, at most giving him some deference, but in terms of actual management power, they only recognized Wu Jian as their elder brother.
After all, although they were all recommended by Zhang Bo at the time, it was Wu Jian who connected them all.
It was precisely because of Wu Jian that they could unite and become the current Spiritual Realm Commander.
Compared to Zhang Bo, who made the final decision, Wu Jian was the most crucial person.
"Don't say that.
I am merely exercising the power given to me on behalf of everyone, and it is ultimately Lord Shen Mu's decision.
If anything happens, Lord Shen Mu still has the final say; we are just the ones who do the work.
Don't talk like that; it would be bad if others heard it."
Wu Jian smiled, but then his face became stern as he reprimanded his four most admired subordinates, "These words are for us, among ourselves.
If outsiders knew, wouldn't we be giving them leverage?
Don't say things that will cause gossip.
We just need to work silently, and in the end, everyone will get their share of the benefits."
Although he said it was a reprimand, it was actually a reminder and a comfort to the four of them, because what he said about 'others' was actually about the four of them.
Immediately, the four of them also smiled, saying nothing more, just laughing and then discussing the crucial matters again.
The crucial matters were still how to capture the remnants of the Diesel Company and find clues about the Diesel Company.
This was the most important thing; they didn't want anything to happen that would cause them to lose the credit for this most important task.
"Wait, is there some sound?"
And just as Wu Jian was still discussing with these middle-level manager heads, his brows suddenly furrowed.
He didn't know why, but after it turned dark and night fell, he suddenly noticed some faint, noisy sounds, and they were coming from outside on the city wall.
"There are indeed some sounds, as if there are many noisy shouts on the city wall."
Another middle-level manager also noticed the sounds coming from outside and instinctively turned to look out the window.
Faintly, outside the window, illuminated by the light of the Torch Tower, they saw that the sparse patrol personnel who were originally on the city wall had suddenly been joined by many Spiritual Realm soldiers.
There were many figures, and they were quite crowded, practically filling the city wall, as if they had encountered an attacking enemy, so these Spiritual Realm soldiers had come to the city wall and were beginning to defend.
"What's going on?
Could it be that we've really encountered an attacking enemy?"
A middle-level manager head suddenly spoke, instinctively rising from his chair and going to the window, carefully watching the increasing number of figures on the city wall and some cavalry being mobilized towards the city gate on the streets, his face filled with extreme astonishment: "What on earth is happening?
Ordinary Undead Monsters wouldn't appear within the territory of Deherim, which is illuminated by Holy Light.
Now that so many troops have suddenly come to the city wall, could it be that a major, difficult problem has been encountered?"
These Blue Star Humans already knew that within the area illuminated by the Holy Light released by the Holy White Council's Holy Light Torch Tower, there could be no Undead Monster.
After all, when they previously fought with their Spiritual Realm soldiers, they had to leave the area illuminated by the Holy White Council's Holy Light Torch Tower to find Undead Monsters.
Even in the completely enclosed rooms within the illuminated area, there was only dimness but no complete darkness, and no death spirit rules lingered inside, nor were there any Undead Monsters hidden within, which undoubtedly demonstrated how powerful the Spiritual Realm power released by the Holy White Council's Holy Light Torch Tower was.
