Chapter 0597: The Chairman and the Secretary

When they saw Luo Yang come back to life, the beauties were overjoyed to tears.

The two village beauties hugged Luo Yang tightly, afraid that if they let go, he would leave them.

"Sister An, Sister Guihua, it's alright," Luo Yang comforted.

As he spoke, he looked around.

Zhang Jing, Grandma Liu, and Little Huizi still had faces full of shock.

When the Soul Beast had enveloped Luo Yang, Zhang Jing, Grandma Liu, and Little Huizi all thought that Luo Yang was undoubtedly going to die.

Who would have thought that, in less than half a minute, the Soul Beast was pulled off like an overcoat.

Most puzzling of all, the Soul Beast had entered Luo Yang's body through his eyes.

What exactly was going on, the three mysterious guests hadn't figured out.

If Luo Yang hadn't had the Shennong Scripture inside him, he probably would have died more than ten times over.

"Young master, young master," the Left Protector called from the outskirts of the crowd.

"Old Du, wait a moment."

Luo Yang squeezed out from among the beauties and came before the Left and Right Protectors.

It wasn't convenient for the Left and Right Protectors to speak in front of everyone.

The three of them found an excuse and left the grassy area.

Arriving at a small stream, the Left Protector finally said, "Young master, first let me congratulate you on your victory."

"Tonight, I'll treat you to a drink," Luo Yang said.

Barely having survived, Luo Yang felt he should celebrate.

"Young master, don't rush to drink yet. Qi Dongqiu is dead; the matter might just end here, but there might also be the situation we discussed," the Left Protector worriedly said.

Qi Xiangtian was still alive, and if he had heard his father talk about the secret of the Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect, in a state of losing his sanity, he indeed might do anything.

The Soul Beast was still inside Luo Yang's body; he wanted to find time to warn it not to move recklessly.

If he wasn't merging with the Soul Beast, what use was there in keeping it? Luo Yang wanted to clear this up too.

"Do you know where the body is?" Luo Yang asked.

Both Left and Right Protectors shook their heads.

The great secret of the Ying Zhao Yan Xing Sect was known only by Qi Dongqiu.

Now that Qi Dongqiu was dead, perhaps only Qi Xiangtian understood it.

"Old Du, call Qi Xiangtian and see what he has to say," Luo Yang said.

The Left Protector immediately dialed Qi Xiangtian's mobile number, but the call didn't go through.

Luo Yang also tried calling him but got no response.

"I'll send someone to find him, see if they can locate him," Luo Yang said.

He understood the Left and Right Protectors' intentions.

As long as Qi Xiangtian didn't actively release that dreadful fellow, there would be no trouble.

The Left and Right Protectors simply hoped Luo Yang could intimidate Qi Xiangtian.

Luo Yang called Guan Baiqiang and asked him to help locate Qi Xiangtian, the head of Yingyan Martial Arts School.

After making the call, Luo Yang said, "Old Du, Old Huang, the number of apprentices in the county martial arts school is increasing. Which of you wants to go there to teach them?"

"I'll go to the county," said the Left Protector.

The Right Protector had no objections, and so it was decided.

Changing the subject, Luo Yang asked, "Other than merging with people, what other use does a Soul Beast have?"

The Left Protector said, "Young master, I've heard that Soul Beasts exclusively consume the Yin Spirits of ghosts. However, if a Soul Beast wants to eat the Yin Spirit of a living person, it must enter the body of a living person. After eating the Yin Spirit, it must wait for the host to die before it can leave."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang broke out in a cold sweat.

Keep in mind that the Soul Beast was still inside his body, along with the Yin Spirit, residing in his sea of consciousness.

"Young master, did you kill that Soul Beast?" the Right Protector curiously asked.

Luo Yang was embarrassed to say he had subdued the Soul Beast.

"Yes," Luo Yang replied.

"Old man, this is the first time I've seen a Soul Beast. It's really been an eye-opener," the Left Protector exclaimed.

Although the Left and Right Protectors had spent their lifetime in YZYXS, they had never seen a Soul Beast.

If it hadn't been for Luo Yang's martial arts challenge with Qi Dongqiu this time, no one would have known what a Soul Beast looked like.

Just then, Luo Yang's phone rang.

It was a call from the village chief, Xie Runfa.

After answering the phone, Luo Yang asked, "Chief, what's the matter?"

Xie Runfa said, "Niu Zai, the contract for starting the breeding company together is ready. Come to the village committee to check the contract and sign it, by the way."

Both villages were eager to dig several large fish ponds, but they first needed Luo Yang's agreement to provide the fish fry.

"Okay, I'll come over now," Luo Yang said.

After bidding farewell to the Left and Right Protectors, Luo Yang went to the Village Office.

Cheng Nan and others were already there waiting.

When Luo Yang arrived, everyone congratulated him.

The village felt especially proud to have a martial arts master who had defeated renowned challengers.

The Yingyan Martial Arts School was quite famous in Honghai County.

When the villagers learned that Qi Dongqiu was the father of Qi Xiangtian, the owner of the Yingyan Martial Arts School, they were quite surprised.

It was unexpected that the long-famous Qi Dongqiu would be defeated by Luo Yang, and the villagers couldn't help but admire Luo Yang's superb skills.

Luo Yang looked over the contract, found no issues, and signed it.

"Niu Zai, you're a celebrity. You should be the chairman of the company," Cheng Nan said.

"I'm young and not suitable for this position. Please choose another chairman," Luo Yang declined politely.

He held a forty percent stake, making him the largest shareholder.

However, Hongyun Brigade and Xingang Brigade together held a sixty percent stake, which gave them more say.

After discussing, Cheng Nan and Xie Runfa agreed that no one would be a better chairman than Luo Yang.

Firstly, now that Luo Yang was a celebrity, his being the chairman would increase business success rates under the celebrity effect.

Secondly, if someone else were chosen as chairman, there could be grumbling among the people of the two villages, which could lay the groundwork for internal strife later on.

Having Luo Yang as the chairman was indisputable.

Moreover, given Luo Yang's youth, everyone felt he would not be obsessed with power.

For these reasons, Cheng Nan and Xie Runfa jointly supported making Luo Yang the chairman of the breeding company.

"Niu Zai, no one but you can take this position. It's settled, now stop dilly-dallying," Xie Runfa said.

"Niu Zai, we have high expectations of you. We also believe you have the capacity to improve our company's performance progressively," Cheng Nan said.

Becoming the chairman required handling many things.

Luo Yang, who was used to a leisurely life free from mundane affairs, did not want to be entangled in busyness.

Moreover, he had a department at Renmin Hospital in the county town.

Before long, his bar and beauty salon where he held shares were set to open for business.

In fact, Luo Yang was really not very busy.

Luo Yang repeatedly declined, but the people from the two villages insisted on him becoming the chairman.

Having no choice, Luo Yang agreed to become the chairman of the breeding company.

"I can serve as the chairman, but I have one condition," Luo Yang said seriously.

"Speak, speak," urged Cheng Nan.

With a chuckle, Luo Yang was somewhat embarrassed to say it out loud.

Seeing Luo Yang looking slightly embarrassed, everyone was curious to know what his condition would be.

"Niu Zai, don't be like a shy maiden, just say it outright. Whatever you need, we'll satisfy it," Xie Runfa said, puffing on a cigarette.

"My requirement is that I want two secretaries," Luo Yang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

They had initially thought Luo Yang would make some difficult demand, which made them a bit nervous.

After all, if Luo Yang did not participate in the breeding company, the business wouldn't get off the ground.

Only Luo Yang had various types of fish fry.
