CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 600 DESPERATE TO CRY BUT NO TEARS

In addition, he has now finally become the Mountain Master as he wished, with great power in hand, and finally has the strength to protect the disciples of the Dan State Branch. He can ensure that the disciples of the Dan State Branch are no longer bullied.

And provide them with a good foundation for development.

This is also a satisfactory explanation for all those who followed him in fleeing to the Divine Martial Continent.

Through his unremitting efforts, Chu Feng has proven himself, as well as the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder of the Dan State Branch, who protected Chu Feng at all costs, exceedingly wise.

"Big Chief Wu Ming, since joining the sect, has always been diligent and devoted to researching Medicinal Herb cultivation techniques. And every year he contributes a significant amount of thousand-year-old Medicinal Herbs to the sect. He has also led his small leaders and Medicine Farmers to achieve great results year after year. The quality and age of the Medicinal Herbs he cultivated are improving yearly. His contributions are truly outstanding and his performance is excellent."

"After deliberation by the sect, we have decided to promote you to the position of Medicine Mountain Manager. We hope you will continue to exert yourself and make even greater contributions to the sect!"

Although Department Director Wei highly appreciates Wu Ming, the Medicinal Herbs Chu Feng handed over to the sect are even more exceptional. Moreover, Chu Feng has an extremely high talent in Sword Dao. No matter which aspect we look at, he is one of the key figures the sect aims to cultivate.

Therefore, Chu Feng was directly promoted two levels, bypassing the position of Vice Mountain Master and taking the seat of Mountain Master.

It was a two-level promotion.

For key cultivation figures like Chu Feng, the sect has always been generous.

All sorts of resources and benefits are lavished on them. After all, it is not a loss; it also increases Chu Feng’s loyalty to the sect. Why not?

As for Wu Ming, although his performance is also very excellent, it pales in comparison with Chu Feng.

The Medicinal Herbs Chu Feng submitted were mutated hundred-year-old rare Medicinal Herbs. Their value is equivalent to that of ten-thousand-year-old ordinary Medicinal Herbs.

The four thousand-year-old Medicinal Herbs submitted by Wu Ming can’t compare with the two Black God Mushrooms from Chu Feng.

The difference between Bronze and Silver is certainly huge.

"Big Chief Fang Zhengda, you have served the sect for many years. Due to the impacts of floods and droughts this year, the harvest of various Medicine Mountains has obviously decreased a lot. However, the yield from your territory has not only been maintained but increased significantly. You have really performed well."

"Considering that you, too, were suppressed by Mao Wu and Administrative Officer Cheng, you faced unfair treatment. Now, to redress this injustice, all the Medicinal Herbs that were unfairly downgraded and whose age was reduced will be given a just reevaluation. This matter has unfairly wronged you, and after a joint discussion by the Outer Elders in charge of the Medicine Mountains, we have decided to exceptionally promote you to Manager."

Master Wei handles matters exceptionally well.

He is comprehensive, fair, and just.

"I thank Master Wei for your gracious favor! I, Fang Zhengda, will certainly forge ahead and make even greater contributions to the sect." An unexpected joy, Fang Zhengda was ecstatic. He kneeled on the spot and kowtowed to thank Master Wei.

Being able to be promoted to Manager is indeed a big step forward.

Although the Manager position given to him by the sect has a certain comforting aspect, it also implies that he might remain a Manager for life, with little chance of further promotion.

But this does not affect Fang Zhengda’s mood of happiness.

Wu Ming and Fang Zhengda are both promoted to Manager, but the difference is great. Wu Ming is considered a promising prospect, well-regarded by the higher-ups of the sect.

As long as he keeps working hard, there is still much room for promotion.

Fang Zhengda, on the other hand, belongs to those who narrowly made it into their position. He has nearly reached his peak.

"Alright, the case of Medicine Mountain 106 is hereby perfectly concluded. You may all go back to your respective duties!" Master Wei is indeed a busy man, and he is ready to leave after handling the affairs here.

Seeing that both of Chu Feng’s big chiefs were promoted to managers and he was the only one left out.

Out of jealousy, Zhong Hong’s eyes turned red.

"Lord Wei, as you see, they have all received rewards; I may not have merits, but I’ve put in the effort too. Can I also ask for a reward?" Zhong Hong is shamelessly thick-skinned, actively seeking credit and rewards.

If he had truly made contributions to the sect, that would be another matter.

Without making any contributions, and instead holding others back, he still has the audacity to ask for a reward here. Does he really think the Sect is running a charity?

Wei Wuxie glanced up at Zhong Hong, who had a sycophantic smile plastered on his face, and frowned slightly.

What he disliked the most were those who groveled and kowtowed like Zhong Hong.

"What is your name?"

"This humble one is Zhong Hong, also one of Manager Chu’s Big Chiefs," Zhong Hong said, almost bowing to the ground.

"Oh, so you are Zhong Hong!" A cold light, almost tangible, shone from Wei Wuxie’s eyes. "I wasn’t planning on punishing you, but since you’ve come to me yourself, I, as the Department Director, will not let you return empty-handed."

Considering the great merits established by Chu Feng, Department Director Wei was not planning on punishing this Zhong Hong.

Now that he has stepped forward, he naturally will not be soft-handed. After all, he is known for his impartiality.

"They say as is the general, so are his soldiers. Yet look at you—in sharp contrast, Manager Chu Feng performed exceptionally, and the other two Big Chiefs under him have also achieved dazzling successes. Only you failed to even meet the basic standard."

"Organizing a welcome ceremony that led to a rodent infestation, your guilt is inescapable."

"Big Chief Zhong Hong, having made a grave error and indulging only in flattery rather than substantial work, is hereby demoted to small leader, as a warning to others, in hopes that everyone will take this as a cautionary tale."

Director Wei directly demoted Zhong Hong by one level.

"Zhong... Zhong Hong gives thanks for the grace! I accept the punishment!"

Zhong Hong consumed his own blood and teeth in regret, wishing he had never asked for a reward.

Now, not only did he fail to receive any reward, but he was also penalized.

Watching Zhong Hong with his despondent expression, sitting collapsed on the ground as if wanting to cry but unable to, Chu Feng’s heart bloomed with laughter. This is what’s called reaping what you sow.

This old scoundrel, heartless and two-faced, deserved to be demoted.

Regarding the rodent problem last time, Chu Feng didn’t want to make a fuss and was also worried about Mao Wu covering for Zhong Hong, which is why he did not pursue it any further.

After sending off Director Wei, Chu Feng was extremely busy.

A series of personnel changes and adjustments, as well as taking over as Mountain Master, meant there were many matters to hand over.

It took him nearly half a month to sort everything out.

As Sect Master Pu Li and others are working in the Pharmaceutical Department under Director Wei, who is upright and stern, Chu Feng is not worried about their conduct.

However, it’s no easy feat for Pu Li and the rest to thrive under Director Wei.

Because to do well under Director Wei’s supervision, they have to rely on genuine skills. They won’t receive any special treatment.

What genuine skills do Pu Li and the others have regarding pharmaceuticals?

One only needs to look at Sima Zhen’s predicament to understand.

Now that Chu Feng has become Mountain Master, wielding greater power, it wouldn’t be difficult to covertly aid Pu Li and others.

He would only help Pu Li, Sima Zhen, Elder Shoumei, and the like. As for Elder Zhuang, Elder Luo, and others, Chu Feng wouldn’t bother with them.

Not long after moving into the Mountain Master’s residence, Chu Feng transferred Han Shuang to his side.

This time, no one dared to stop him.
