Chapter 1: Jiang Yanxi

The afternoon sunlight of the day was quite bright. In front of the capital's famous recruitment company, cold air from the air conditioner emanated from the door as customers walked in and out. Although summer had not yet entered the city, the people of the capital had already begun to wear thinner clothes. Compared to the coolness of the spring that is coming to an end. The warmer weather also made people feel impatient for no reason. The people walking on the streets hurriedly passed by with smileless faces, the rushing atmosphere seemed to be everywhere in the capital, as it did every day.

Among those groups of people, a young man walks slowly towards the recruitment company. He had a slim figure. Wearing a black suit that was cut to match his figure. The shoulder-length black hair was cut into a Korean style and tied into a short ponytail on the back of the head. His face was half-covered by big, expensive sunglasses. but even just looking past, one could also tell that he had to have a handsome face.

It's a pity...his height seems a bit short.

The receptionist of the recruitment company felt this way when she saw the other party at first glance. But even then, the female employee gave a professional smile and asked him, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The young man, who seemed to be only 170s centimeters tall, was slightly taken aback. before he took off his sunglasses. revealing a stunningly beautiful face. The receptionist's gaze immediately swept over his chest. When met with a flatness, she shifted her gaze to look at the other party's throat. After looking until she was sure that the other party had Adam's apple. She slowly returned to calm.

However, the 'young man' clearly felt that behavior, but he just chose not to say anything and did not have an angry expression. He only revealed a slightly helpless smile before saying, "I didn't make an appointment. But I would like to meet a recruitment consultant. I want to hire a reliable employee to work for the company." The young man flipped his finger and took out a business card from the void as if doing a magic trick, "My surname is Jiang, just recently established the company."

The receptionist bowed slightly as he extended his hand to take the business card. She quickly scanned the business card in her hand to collect information. Not much is written on the business card. only his name Jiang Yanxi, his company name, Yandi Corporation, and his phone number.

Yandi Corporation?

The business card is custom made from ultra-thin silver metal with all the sharp edges removed. The letters on the cards are engraved in black. The logo is a red flame painted with Chinese brushes. This business card is more than elegant. Because such material is many times more expensive than paper. Therefore, even if the name of the company is unfamiliar and the customer is too beautiful, this man will not look familiar. But the receptionist did not dare to underestimate him. she hurriedly said, "Please follow me this way."

Jiang Yanxi put the sunglasses in his suit pocket as he followed behind her.

If it wasn't for the mission received from his brother. He wouldn't have to come to mess around here.

If he has to tell the beginning of the problem This story must be told back thousands of years ago. When the Huaxia Nation was not officially born yet. The ancestors were still just a tribe that settled on the Yellow River...

Going back too far?

Okay, so let's take it very concisely then.

In the past, Yandi, the Flame Emperor of the Jiangshui Tribe. There had been many tussles for land and resources with the Jiuli Tribe led by Chiyou, but the other party could not be defeated because the Jiuli tribe was stronger and had a greater number of warriors. Yandi then asked for cooperation with the strong tribe leader Huangdi, Yellow Emperor. In the end, the strong Huangdi defeated Chiyou and take down the Jiuli Tribe. Allied clans then established Huangdi as their only and one king. This was the beginning of the Heavenly Emperor legend that had been passed down for a long time until this day.

But Yandi felt dissatisfied that Huangdi became the king over himself. So, he led people to challenge Huangdi. Nobody knows why at that time, he thought that he would win against Huang Di. In the end, he was defeated and was also exiled out of the alliance Tribe territory by Huangdi.

So, what's the matter with Jiang Yanxi?

It's getting close to the point, calm down.

After that time, The younger generation still respected Huangdi and Yandi as the ancestors of the Huaxia Nation. That made them both become gods from the strong power of human faith. But while Huangdi became an ancient god with many legends like the legend of the Xuan Yuan Sword that has been talked about for thousands of years or the legend of being a great warrior king. There is a great power of charity and merit. In short, when he ascended to the heavens, he was still one of the kings of the heavenly realm that was well respected. While Yan Di has not received much attention from others. The reason was because of the flaw at the end of the tale that he turned his sword towards Huang Di.

Yan Di had become a deity that was not in the Heaven Realm but kept cultivating in the human realm for thousands of years

...How do you sum up this story with Jiang Yanxi?

It must be said that if one million people of Huaxia knew Yandi, there will be only people around Only two hundred thousand people know that his surname wasn't Yan, but Jiang, which was the Jiang character from the name of the Jiangshui River, the original location of the tribe he ruled. His original name was Jiang Yuwang. and he is the older brother of Jiang Yanxi

Among the many brothers and sisters in the Jiangshui Tribe, Yandi had only a real co-mother younger brother that was Yanxi. Yanxi was a warrior who had supported Yandi until his death in the final battle with Huangdi. As soon as Yandi became a god, The first thing he did wasn't run to challenge Huang Di to get revenge. But rather, he was looking for his brother's soul to revive him. Grants immortal life and power.

It was for this reason that Jiang Yanxi, who was supposed to become the soil beneath the Yellow River thousands of years ago, came back to life and assisted his brother in cleaning up the things that he had been causing trouble all along.

Most of the time, it's about accepting missions from Heaven or Hell to collect merit points. All these merits will be confirmed that when Yan Di leaves his confinement, he would be able to go to the higher stage of the realm of the heavens and have the right to compete for some level of heavenly dominion. Of course, his wish was to rule the heavens that Huang Di ruled.

Yan Xi was loyal to his brother. But more than that, he also had a personal grudge against Huang Di as well. That's why he was willing to take on the mission of earning merit points on behalf of his brother. Because the heavens have rules that can allow students or servants to perform missions to collect points on behalf of teachers or masters. As the only subordinate that his brother has Yan Xi was therefore responsible for everything.

However, the latest mission he obtained from his brother is quite difficult to manage alone. He felt that he should have more subordinates and since he could not find a god to be his underling. It is only for human beings to work for him. In the end, Yanxi decided to set up a company to legally collect human resources in the present era.

As a result, Yandi Company was freshly formed, and today Yan Xi came to the recruitment company to hire a few reliable employees.

For immortal humans who have been in the human world for a long time, Yan Xi had no shortage of gold. But he didn't have close contact with humans because his immortality would make secrets easy to discover over time. So, he has very few human friends or acquaintances.

But at least he's up to date and knows where to find accredited assistants and employees.

Other than a mission from his brother, he also accepted a mission from hell as well.

This mission was contacted directly from Hell. Missions from Hell usually had a very high level of difficulty. But the merit points received are often very high as well. As a person who had died and visited hell before like Yan Xi. Instead, he was more interested in working for Hell than working for Heaven. So, when this new rather complicated mission came out, Hell, therefore, contacted him specifically.

The details of the mission were to trace and capture fourteen evil spirits who escaped from hell through the dimensional cracks at Rongcheng City and inform the local hell officers to bring the evil spirits back to hell and punish them. This kind of work doesn't have to deliver missions to outsiders. But a high-level spirit, once out of the abyss, was able to erase its traces. Can hide in a human form or possess something. As a result, ordinary officers were unable to locate these spirits. There was a need for a 'human' who could move in search of the evil spirits without making the evil spirits realize and run away further.

Thus, Yan Xi had become the best choice for this mission. Don't just say ghosts. Even if the gods passed by, there would be no way to tell that Yan Xi was not a normal human.

However, a soul of the highest rank that was reborn from the power of a Primordial ancient God Yandi would never be a normal human being.

The female receptionist brings a beautiful young man to an office room that is separated by glass and decorated to look comfortable and spacious. In the corner of the room, a potted plant was also placed. Yan Xi swept his gaze, then shifted his gaze to the smart and agile middle-aged man behind the table. The receptionist didn't say much. Just hand over a luxury business card in hand. The middle-aged man seemed to immediately understand that a large client had already arrived.

"Hello, Boss Jiang, my surname is Su, an advisor." The middle-aged man looked at the young man's beautiful face and the clothes he was wearing. In his mind, he guessed that this Jiang Yanxi was probably a wealthy heir who came out looking for experience by setting up his own company. This type of customer has never had a money problem. So, as he extended his hand to invite Jiang Yanxi to sit down, he smiled and asked, "I don't know if I can help you with anything."

As a business owner being called a boss was normal. Yan Xi perfectly plays the role of a young man who wants to open his own company. He sat down in a chair gracefully and said, "I want good people. to take on two positions as secretary and general manager."

"Yes." Advisor Su accepted as he prepared to type the information. "I don't know if there are conditions or specific requirements or not."

Yan Xi nodded, using a beautiful voice slowly said, "Secretary position, I want someone who is still young, male gender, how he looks is doesn't matter. The important thing is that he has to be on fire when working and not be afraid to face hardships. I must say that my company's headquarters will be in Rongcheng town. Not that Rongcheng City in Shandong. It was a small town in Baoding of Hebei that was not developed very much. It can be said that we will be the first investors to pioneer the area. I believe you understand what kind of person will fit for this kind of job would be. I don't need a secretary to take care of my matters all the time. I just need a quick-witted, hard-working assistant."

Yan Xi paused a moment for Advisor Su to record the information before continuing. "As for general managers, the basic qualification I need is the same as a secretary, being a young man, male, but must be a little good-looking that will help the company's image look good when dealing with outsiders. I don't care about wages. If wages are more expensive but people are of quality, I'm happy. My company focuses mainly on agriculture, livestock, medicine, and the food business. Managers must take care of purchasing and dealing with customers. Of course, I will recruit another staff member again when I get to Rongcheng."

Advisor Su accepted. "Please wait a moment. I will select the personnel listed in the company database based on the qualifications you need."

Yan Xi hadn't been in a hurry from the beginning. So, he simply nodded. "You don't have to hurry. You should be able to see that I'm currently free."

The receptionist came back and brought water to serve. Before leaving, she still looked at the crescent face that could step on many stars and let them sink to the ground before she left. Soon, Advisor Su printed out several documents and split them into two groups. The first group is the information of the secretary position employee. The second group is the information of the general manager-employee. In comparison, the number of candidates for secretary positions is much less than general managers.

"Recently, the people who chose the secretary profession are mostly females," Advisor Su explained as if guessing Yan Xi's thoughts. Before briefly introducing the strengths of the person in the resume to the young man in front of him. What are the advantages of these people or why he chooses to recommend them.

Yan Xi flipped through the documents he had received while listening. They are informative resumes, with photographs, educational information. work history, claimed annual wages, language proficiency, and special skills. Yan Xi didn't pay much attention to their looks. How could a five-thousand-year-old old man like him no longer care about girls, let alone these young men? Yanxi also didn't care about the name of their university. He only read their work history and talent.

This company has a great reputation for recruiting quality people. Yan Xi knew that there would be no problem with these employees. He flipped through the secretary's resume first.

"Huh?" Yan Xi let out a sound as he read one of the secretary's special talent fields. He placed Lu Jiuzhou's resume on the table, pointing to a talent slot. "It is written in this that he has six senses. Is this true?"

Advisor Su was startled, "Aiya, what information did this young man fill out? I'm sorry Boss Jiang. Due to the company's system, we allow this personnel to modify their resumes to keep them updated. I didn't notice that he had written something nonsense."

"No, it is not nonsense." Yan Xi laughed. "I'm interested in hiring him."

Meanwhile, Counselor Su stuttered, as if don't know what to do. Yan Xi then flipped over the general manager's resume. and picked out a manager who happened to be born in Rongcheng Town. "It's the two of them."

Although Yan Xi had already told him that he was not interested in the appearance of the employee. But Lu Jiuzhou was a young man with white skin and a charming appearance. As for Zhang Xunyi, who was from the area of Rongcheng Town, he was a handsome, strong-looking young man. He had just come to see their photos while waiting for Advisor Su to call to request signing a contract with the two of them. The young man could not help but shake his head.

Fortunately, both of them agreed. Yanxi offered Secretary Lu a monthly wage of sixteen thousand yuan. and eight thousand yuan per month to Manager Zhang. Of course, this does not include overtime pay, bonuses, and other benefits.

Zhang Xunyi didn't have much of a problem because he already had a house in Rongcheng. As for Lu Jiuzhou, he had to go to work in another city. Yanxi then offered to take care of his accommodation. Because he had to buy a house in Rongcheng as well. and still, need to find another office location.

The recruitment was unbelievably smooth. Although Yandi is a new company. Plus, the employer hasn't given any details. The two chosen people decided to take the job. Lu Jiuzhou signed the contract that afternoon while Zhang Xunyi will be free tomorrow. Secretary Lu looked as enthusiastic and energetic as Yan Xi wanted. He was a twenty-five-year-old young man whose sense of humor was different from the stern male secretaries. When he saw Yan Xi's face, the more excited he became.

"Boss, are you a star or celebrity?"

Asking a joking question to the boss you just met on the first day was not something a secretary would do. But it was clear that Secretary Lu was different from the others. And despite this habit, He is still on the list of people recommended by a reputable recruitment company. This shows that he can make habits secondary.

Of course, for Yan Xi, the reason for hiring him was because of the talent he had filled in his resume. Habits are not important in the eyes of the Yanxi by the way.

"Secretary Lu, would you mind booking me a plane ticket to Shijiazhuang for tomorrow? And I want to buy a house. no need for luxury But I would like to have at least three bedrooms and be fully furnished," Yan Xi said to his new secretary as the two walked out of the recruitment agency together. "But if there is no house that is ready to move in. You can buy a new house and hire someone to decorate it instead. But if that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to book a hotel for me first while waiting for the house. And please look at the location of the company's office as well. After the company has settled then we will start the project to build the company building again."

Secretary Lu is still young. But he's not a novice secretary. Upon hearing the orders that were assigned, he answered immediately and inquire further "I don't know if you want to buy or rent a car as well?"

"I don't have a driving license. But if you are responsible for driving You can buy one in the name of the company." Yan Xi said honestly. He took out his cell phone and asked. "You can tell me your account number. I'm going to transfer the money to you to spend on this. And if it's about you are being a better secretary for me. You can take it and buy anything. If the money is not enough, you can tell me anytime."

Secretary Lu could see that his new boss was very wealthy. But he did not expect that the other party would transfer one million yuan at once like this. The seven-digit number in his account suddenly appeared, making him feel like a dream.

After assigning work to secretary Lu, he also urged the other party to prepare an employment contract for Manager Zhang tomorrow. Yanxi then returned to a medium-sized condo that cost around Sixty million in the center of the capital. This condo is not considered a luxury. But when looking at the price of the land that is more expensive than the gold of the capital city, This price is also quite reasonable. Yan Xi had a lot of money, but he doesn't need to be extravagant.

The outer suit was taken off and thrown over the sofa. The balcony curtain was closed. The young man sat down on the sofa, pouring himself a glass of water as he contemplated what to do next.

Yan Xi knew that after delegating the task, his brother would go into a state of uncontactable. He, therefore, did not need to report to the other party the progress of the mission. He took out a scroll made of cloth from the void before unfolding and looking at the fourteen names on it.

This is the list of the evil spirits given by Hell. When he taps on that name, he will be able to read the history of that evil spirit which is just rough information. Such as where were they born, what did they do when they were alive and what did they do after becoming a spirit.

Compared to humans, these evil spirits are like prison breakouts. Most of them were murderers who had taken the souls of others, some do it while still being human, some do it when both were human and as a ghost. In conclusion, no matter what, if you really can't catch them, then you can kill them instead.

Hell's officer is comparable to a policeman. If it's not necessary, they won't murder the villain. But that's the weak point of Hell's Law. When the king of the underworld handed this quest to Yan Xi's hand, Yan Xi was able to kill these evil spirits without breaking the rules and will also be rewarded for helping to eliminate the danger. In short, this is a win-win relationship for both parties. Hell is big but the spirits of the dead are much more abundant. It's not a serious matter to have some of the evil spirits disappear without returning to the cycle of Samsara. Instead, it will help the officer who takes care of the reincarnation become much happier.

Yanxi's identity was quite special, he was a warrior, Yandi's right hand. So, killing for him was an easy matter, just slowly rummaging through the evil spirits. He also had many ways to erase those souls before humans even realized they were possessed.

The young man got up to look at the wardrobe and frowned. He doesn't have many clothes. The suit that was worn today was just bought and worn for the first time. It's a complete set that has been modified to fit. Because it is from a famous brand, it looks luxurious and expensive. But Yanxi couldn't help but feel that he might need to buy a few more things to look like a rich boss.

He felt uncomfortable wearing these western suits.

Yanxi hesitated for a moment. before opening the Internet for information, then went back to pick up the suit and put it on again. Because Rongcheng doesn't have a luxury department store. So, he had to prepare the necessary purchases before going there.

Buy two more suits. five ties, another pair of leather shoes, hmm, also an expensive watch, a notebook computer, and a nice pen.

Humans these days are really messed up.
