Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Employee Training_1 Chapter 620: Chapter 620 Employee Training_1 “Unlike other Transcendents, the hierarchy within the Bloodline Clan is quite distinct. If it was Selana’s order, then Tyler’s behavior just now was indeed reasonable,”
Fu Qian was willing to stay behind and hold the fort, and Yuan Shan’s heart was obviously much relieved, but she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
The conversation just now seemed erratic, but she could very well understand the implications of Fu Qian’s words.
The current situation almost certainly indicated that Tyler was coerced, and had no choice but to appear here.
If Selana were the kind of elder who was reputed to be caring toward the younger generation, this move might be understood as a way to curb arrogance, to temper impetuousness and such.
But from the limited interactions with Selana, it was clear she was not the type to have that kind of leisure.
Therefore, this action most likely had another purpose.
“Indeed, people do have many facets.”
Listening to Yuan Shan’s introduction, Fu Qian nodded in agreement.
“This time, Selana is being quite cautious, not leaving any handles for herself.”
“Speaking of which, even though Selana is hinting at us this way, suggesting that there are some abnormal moves on the Gulad side, it cannot be said that she left no handles at all, can it?”
Yuan Shan was obviously still somewhat skeptical.
“After all, her actions are a bit abnormal, and she isn’t worried that Tyler will report her later?”
“Considering the ancient family legacy, the Bloodline Clan is particularly strict about loyalty,”
“Not at all, you find it strange because you’re looking at it from our perspective,”
Confronted with Yuan Shan’s doubts, Fu Qian analyzed the situation with the air of a strategist.
“On the Gulad’s side, including Brother Tyler, no one knows that Selana came to me for the notebook and even suffered a loss because of it.”
“So even if the matter comes to light, Selana’s actions can be explained as a way to strike at him for losing the notebook, to make it clear to him what his true worth is.”
“Moreover, from this point, it can be seen that her stance last time wasn’t faked; she showed disdain for the concept of pureblood versus mixed-blood and it’s possible that among the high echelons of the Bloodline Clan, this has already become a consensus.”
This was actually a point Fu Qian was quite interested in.
Although most matters regarding bloodlines are unbearably dull.
Vampires, on the other hand, are a notable exception. Unlike other Transcendents, they are almost a unique species, and bloodline influence should theoretically be significant.
Yet it was they who came up with this notion of valuing ancestry, which seemed quite profound.
“Hmm, that does make sense,”
Yuan Shan agreed repeatedly.
“Selana is an oddity within the Gulad Family. But this hint is too subtle, isn’t it? She has too much confidence in you.”
“You don’t understand, in a way, this is called regaining face,”
Fu Qian humphed.
“For her, she might actually be pleased if I didn’t understand the hint. Then she could feel she had won one over on me in secret.”
“At her age, still so competitive.”
…
As soon as he had spoken, Fu Qian sensed a chill in the air and, turning to see Yuan Shan’s forlorn gaze, realized he had just launched a broadside.
Sensitivity to age wasn’t exclusive to just one person.
“So now we can almost confirm that the Gulad bunch is indeed preparing something in secret.”
Thankfully, Chief Yuan was big-hearted and quickly adjusted her mood.
“And they are ready to deceive to the end and refuse to cooperate.”
Fu Qian nodded his head and exaggerated a bit.
“This is really a bit troublesome!”
Yuan Shan accepted Fu Qian’s additional commentary.
“Such seriousness suggests that it’s probably not just a minor action.”
The more she spoke, the more incensed she became.
“Even if they want to rise in rank, can’t these vampires find a quiet place to do it? Why insist on coming to Shangjing?”
“With the dense population here, the slightest mishap could lead to major casualties.”
As she spoke, she realized something and gave Fu Qian a glare.
In her understanding, there was no doubt that their reaction was triggered by Fu Qian’s previous desecration of the solar phenomenon.
Although Fu Qian was invited by her to assist, she was not so ungrateful as to not know better.
But the trouble caused by his reckless behavior was indeed a headache.
“Not to make excuses, but have you considered that perhaps the high density of people is exactly what they want?”
Fu Qian never indulged in pointless self-blame, and he blinked to remind Yuan Shan of this possibility.
“Are you saying that it’s not because of the previous anomalies?”
Yuan Shan frowned, not quite grasping Fu Qian’s meaning.
“Think about the sequence of events again, that Demigod Elder Ai, he arrived before all that.”
Fu Qian pointed toward the sun outside.
“Indeed, that’s true…”
Yuan Shan couldn’t deny this point.
“And going back even further, what did the people of the Gulad Family do before that?”
Going back further…
“Gan Zuoxun?”
Yuan Shan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
“Just a speculation, but I remember that the Gulad Family was particularly active around that time, having quite a few complaints about that government official.”
“If you don’t want to be entirely reactive, you should try investigating from this angle to see what you can find.”
“For instance, what exactly is that government official impeding them from doing.”
“… Alright.”
Fu Qian’s suggestion seemed to resonate with Yuan Shan, who, after a moment’s thought, quickly agreed.
“So, if anything comes up during this period, I’ll come here to find you?”
“If I’m not here, look for her.”
Fu Qian pointed at Su Gao.
“She’ll be here to help me manage the store.”
…
Having a Demigod manage a store was certainly an overstatement, but given the peculiarities of these two individuals, Yuan Shan oddly didn’t question it too much.
Considering what was next on her agenda, Yuan Shan quickly excused herself and left in a rush.
…
“You really want me to stay and manage the store?”
Watching Yuan Shan leave, Su Gao looked seriously at Fu Qian and asked.
“What, you’re worried I can’t afford to pay you?”
Fu Qian raised an eyebrow and patted the leather case on the counter, looking like a rich tycoon.
“Social security and housing fund, three meals a day, flexible working hours, and a bed on the second floor if you get tired. Satisfied with the conditions?”
“Satisfied… What if someone comes to buy a book? I might not know the prices.”
Su Gao nodded, her attention shifting elsewhere.
“Just tell them the books are not for sale.”
Fu Qian was teaching his business philosophy.
“And try not to sell any books, because I don’t know where to restock.”
“Understood.”
Su Gao listened attentively and accepted the job responsibilities without any doubt.
“Chief Yuan seemed a bit tense. Do you need me to do anything?”
“No need to rush.”

Fu Qian shoved a stack of bills into Su Gao’s arms.
“Our duty is to provide backup. We must trust in Chief Yuan’s resilience.”
“If she needs our help, she will certainly let us know.”
“Besides, even if the Bloodline Clan were given ten thousand times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to take a human life for advancement. Essentially, all Chief Yuan has to do is be ready to clean up after their potential mess.”
“You’re currently on vacation, don’t forget that.”
