I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

As a gourmet, Ling Ping’an’s resistance to food was almost zero.

To him, the hometown bacon of Guangnan was a top-grade delicacy.

Such good things could not be bought even if one had money in this day and age.

The pigs were all raised and killed by the farmers, smoked, and then hung on the stove to be exposed to the smoke and fire.

They were top-grade products that had been fermented for at least a year.

They were not produced by the large industrial assembly lines in those factories.

The two were not on the same level at all!

Therefore, Ling Ping’an immediately received the cured meat happily.

“Thank Grandma Hu for me!” he invited Hu Nuonuo in.

Then, he asked, “Miss Hu, have you eaten?”

Hu Nuonuo smiled and shook her head. “Not yet!”

“Oh…” Ling Ping’an said, “Then let’s go down and have a meal together later?”

“Ok!” Hu Nuonuo nodded in a voice that was almost like a mosquito. Her small face was even redder, like an apple hanging on the top of a tree in early autumn.

That color, which was not ripe yet, was extremely beautiful.

Ling Ping’an looked at it, and his brows trembled slightly.

Because he realized that in that instant, there was actually a ripple of surprise in his heart!

This was something that had never happened before.

“Strange!” He could not help being surprised in his heart.

However, that feeling only lasted for a moment.

It was like a heavenly inspiration that was unconstrained, and also like an antelope hanging its horn, untraceable.

This caused him to take a few more glances at Hu Nuonuo.

Hu Nuonuo’s face was flushed red from his gaze, and her body seemed to have become limp.

The blood in her body was bubbling and boiling.

Her entire body seemed to have lost its strength. It was as if she had leaned into her father’s embrace when she was young, and her mother was gently stroking her hair at the side.

It was warm, comfortable, and peaceful.

It was as if she was immersed in the most beautiful dream.

She only hoped that the other party would look at her for a little longer.

Unfortunately…

Ling Ping’an quickly retracted his gaze. He smiled lightly and said, “Miss Hu’s makeup today is not bad!”

In his opinion, it could only be today. It was after she had put on some kind of makeup that left a deep impression on him.

Just like a killer whale, it could make him stunning.

Hu Nuonuo was like a shy kitten. She lowered her head and said meekly, “Do you also think that the make-up that I put on today looks good?”

Ling Ping’an nodded. Then, he placed the cured meat that Hu Nuonuo had sent over on the counter. Then, he said to Hu Nuonuo, “Miss Hu, let’s go eat first!”

He planned to have a look at each other when they were having the meal.

What if it wasn’t because of the makeup and hair, but that his face blindness had begun to show signs of improvement?

After all, he was also a young man.

He also wanted to live a normal life with other people of the same age.

“Okay!” Hu Nuonuo naturally couldn’t ask for more.

Just a few glances from Ling Ping’an just now, her nine-tailed fox bloodline was at least 30% more active than before.

To her, who had the nine-tailed fox bloodline and was a servant of the Ling family, Ling Ping’an was everything!

His care and concern were a panacea, something akin to an immortal pill or divine medicine.

If she was lucky…

Then she was almost certain that she would be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step!

This was a ritual that had been entangled for two hundred years.

There was no need to cultivate, nor was there a need to accumulate.

As long as she could obtain the favor of Ling Ping’an, everything would be smooth sailing.

…

Wang Shan put down the phone, and the worry on his face was deeply settled because…

Another person that he had gone through great difficulty to contact and confirmed that he had a game room rejected his job offer.

Even if he had promised the person with shares and dividends besides the normal conditions, or even more, the other party still refused without hesitation.

Wang Shan was told by the person the Virtual Reality Department of the Federal Empire had already reached a basic agreement with him.

Once the Legend of Nightmare was released and the game room was delivered, he would be the glorious filial son of the people.

“Brother!” His third brother, Wang Ji, who was sitting opposite him, couldn’t help but said, “Why don’t we increase the salary and treatment…”

“Just throw money at people!”

“In any case, money is just a pile of paper!”

“What do you know?” Wang Shan said snappily, “Do you think that only you are smart enough to think of throwing money at people?”

“Why don’t you take a look at who is the one who offered the salary and treatment?!”

“That’s the central federal government!”

“Who dares to go against the central federal government?!”

100,000 yuan a month was the price the central federal government offered.

It was also a red line drawn by the central federal government.

Whoever dared to cross this line had to be prepared to face the central federal government’s fury.

If not for this, the people behind the capital would have already made their move.

Internet upstarts like the Wang family, who were newly emerging outstanding entrepreneurs, could only tuck their tails between their legs and behave themselves.

Otherwise, the central federal government’s board would come down and the Wang family would immediately be reduced to ashes!

Didn’t Wang Ji see that the general of Qingzhou, Wang Daoyuan, had already been reduced to ashes?

Therefore, when the central federal government took action and drew the red line, no one dared to overstep the line in terms of salary and treatment.

Everyone could only think of other ways, for example, basic welfare.

They could offer the highest-grade car allowance, the highest-grade settling-in fee, and the highest-grade rights and benefits.

At the same time, Wang Shan would start from the interpersonal aspect.

He would enlighten them with affection, and motivate them with reason.

In short, he had to treat those who had won the lottery as if they were his ancestors.

He had to rack his brains and put himself in their shoes.

Only then would it be possible to snatch a person from other people’s mouths.

Wang Ji listened and silently lowered his head.

“This morning, one of our company’s warehouse managers resigned…” he said to himself.

“The b*stard below didn’t report it in time. It was only when I personally checked that I discovered his resignation!”

“F*ck his mother!”

“That warehouse manager was a person who had won a game room!”

“Because of this, he and the supervisor asked for a raise in salary!”

“But, in the end, that b*tard told him to get lost!”

“And that manager was dragged away by someone right after that!”

“F*ck!”

Wang Shan’s face darkened when he heard that.

He naturally knew what Legend of Nightmare meant.

After all, his relationship was not only with the Blackguard.

With Lu Wenxiao, he could also get some policy advice from the Supreme Court.

Therefore, he understood that both the central federal government and the Blackguard were shifting their attention towards Legend of Nightmare.

In the future, whoever was powerful in Legend of Nightmare would be able to make a fortune.

“Tell the people below…” Wang Shan gritted his teeth and said, “From now on, all employee resignation reports must be sent to me!”

“They must go through my review!”

“Also…”

“I plan to privatize our company from the stock market!”

“Take out 500 million and buy back all the outstanding shares!”

Wang Ji raised his head and looked at his brother in disbelief.

“Privatize?” He was shocked.

It was not easy for Wang Group to be listed on the Growth Enterprise Board last year.

This privatization…

What about the company?

“This is the thing that Mr. Lu reminded me of… Originally I haven’t made up my mind yet!”

“But after hearing your story about the warehouse manager, I knew!”

“We have to be nice to the people down there!”

“I plan to hold a general meeting after the company is privatized,” Wang Shan said firmly.

“Let all employees share in the dividends of the company’s growth and expansion!”

“So, I plan to let all the employees hold shares!”

“The management and the three of us would only hold 10% of the shares! The rest will be distributed to the employees!”

“Even the cleaning crew has to be given shares!”

“Besides, didn’t the company always rely on the labor dispatch company to hire many workers?” Wang Shan asked.

His company had been developed by relying on the policies of the Blackguard.

On one hand, he helped the Blackguard settled down the foreign species and transcendent beings so that they could integrate into society.

On the other hand, he relied on working with the Blackguard to get land and projects.

For the sake of profits, these projects were naturally outsourced.

In the past, this was naturally an excellent business model.

But now… times had changed.

Especially when Wang Shan found out that the warehouse manager had directly left after his salary increase request was rejected, Wang Shan immediately understood.

From now on, the biggest wealth of his company would be the employees!

The Wang Group’s market value was now more than two billion.

It could be considered a big company in Yaodu.

However, the official employees, even including the management, were only more than a thousand people.

It was too difficult for such a small number of people to get a game room.

It wasn’t easy to recruit someone from outside who could get a game room, too.

After all, Wang Group was only a company of Yaodu in Guangnan District.

In the entire world, it was just an unknown small company.

Therefore, it didn’t have any competitiveness at all in the current environment.

And if they couldn’t have a place in Legend of Nightmare…

Then Wang Group was destined to be eliminated!

Everything that the brothers had worked so hard for would vanish into thin air.

Therefore, they had to give in to the interests, they could only give in to the interests!

They had to get everyone in the company to agree with the company.

They could no longer be the same as in the past. They could no longer tell the employees ‘If you want to do, do it properly, if not, get lost’.

It would no longer work!

With the lottery system of Legend of Nightmare, who knew if today’s failure would be the transcendent being of tomorrow?

Or even the future general?

If he continued to push people out like this, he would be courting death.

If he was unlucky, he would offend others and be hated by others.

When that person succeeded and achieved fame, he might come back to take revenge. He would block the door and shout, ” XXX, come out and face death!”

What could they do by then?

Even if such a thing did not happen, letting a future transcendent being or even a general go was also a heartbreaking thing.

Therefore, once Wang Shan thought this through, he immediately noticed the thousands of construction workers that his company employed through the labor dispatch agency.

They were wealth!

Among them, there might be crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Even if there weren’t any now, there might be others in the future.

Even if they wouldn’t appear in the future, what about their children?

As a qualified capitalist, Wang Shan naturally thought of these things immediately.

Wang Ji nodded and said, “Brother, what do you want to do?”

Wang Shan said, “I plan to cancel the labor dispatch contract with them and convert them all into official employees of the company. We will sign a long-term contract and they could enjoy treatment just like the rest of the company!”

Wang Ji was stunned when he heard that.

Thousands of workers all become official employees?

If that was the case, according to the country’s regulations, they would have to receive all the benefits.

Besides, if they were to fire people in the future, it would not be so easy to handle.

They would always ask for N+1 compensation.

This…

The cost of hiring workers had increased greatly!

“Brother!” Wang Ji immediately stood up, “If we do this, the company’s profits will be reduced by a large margin!”

Wang Shan glared at his younger brother and said, “What do you know?”

“If we don’t do this, the company will have no one in the future!”

The appearance of Legend of Nightmare was equivalent to giving everyone a chance to reincarnate.

Although the official announcement was that the citizens of the Federal Empire only had five chances to play the lottery, Wang Group plus the dispatch workers would probably only have three or five lucky people at most to win a game room based on probability.

But…

What about in the future?

As Legend of Nightmare expanded, the number of people getting the game room would definitely increase.

Right now, every employee was a valuable asset to the company!

Moreover, Wang Shan understood that he wasn’t the only one who had connections.

And he wasn’t the only one who could figure out the powerful connection.

If he didn’t make a move, others would.

Therefore, he had to make a move as soon as possible to win the hearts of the people.

Otherwise, the other consortia would poach people.

When all the people were poached, the three brothers would have to work for others.

Therefore, Wang Shan berated, “Just do it!”

“Inform the personnel and prepare the contract!”

“We have to speed up and sign a new contract with everyone as soon as possible!”

“Also tell the people below…”

“From now on, we must treat our employees better!”

As he spoke, Wang Shan took out a framed letter from his drawer.

Then, he pasted the letter onto a board on his desk.

In this letter, it was written in regular script: employees are my brothers!

Wang Ji looked at it and his throat moved.

In the end, he didn’t dare to speak again because he knew that he couldn’t change what his eldest brother decided.

…

Ling Ping’an found a seat in the cafeteria downstairs and sat down with Hu Nuonuo.

Then, the two of them took some food.

Ling Ping’an ate as he scrolled through the news.

The wave of Legend of Nightmare seemed to have started to spread towards reality.

On Wechat Read, the top trending topic had already changed to a tech tycoon who claimed to be the spiritual successor of Tesla Scholar.

This descendant of the Land of Qin immigrants directly posted a message on his Wechat Read: “I announce that from today onwards, we will become sworn brothers with all the employees of our company. We will share happiness and misfortune!”

Below this message were two photos.

One was of the tech tycoon, standing in front of the assembly line of the factory, surrounded by hundreds of workers with a smile on his face.

The other was an official document with his company seal.

The contents of the official document were clearly captured by the HD camera.

It was a letter to all the employees.

In this official document, the tech tycoon announced that he would share the dividends of the company and collective development with all the employees.

Therefore, he would reform the company’s main structure to achieve the goal of all employees holding shares!

At the same time, he announced the abolition of the corrupt dispatch system that did not reflect his company’s spirit of benevolence and justice.

From now on, there would be no temporary workers in his company.

Everyone would sign a contract with the company directly.

Ling Ping’an looked on with his mouth agape. “A capitalist can actually have a conscience?”

This was like a dog would never eat shit. He was flabbergasted! It was hard to understand!
