Chapter 140 The Troubles of Boss Su

After Su Tianyu received the preparation plan for the General Administration, he was so worried that the hair under his armpits was almost white.

This time, although there was no shortage of funds, there was a lack of people. Obviously, this was a large-scale intelligence agency, similar in nature to the Eastern Depot, with both internal regulatory powers and external "offensive rights," so assembling the personnel was a very tricky matter.

Indiscriminately poaching people could easily bring in moles, and even if they were capable, you wouldn't dare to give them important positions!

Drawing from the backbone of the administrative departments? This might solve some staffing problems, but it would take a long time to cultivate them. They didn't have the necessary professional skills, and there were no corresponding training institutions in Dragon City. Moreover, the promoted senior cadres might not necessarily form a tacit understanding with Su Tianyu.

The elites of the administrative departments were mostly conservative, emphasizing avoiding mistakes over making contributions, so Su Tianyu didn't want such a team to manage this new department, as it could corrupt the team atmosphere.

How should the management team be formed?

Su Tianyu sat in the small garden of the Tongji Association, drinking tea with a troubled expression.

The stars in the sky were bright, and Su Tianyu licked his chapped lips, gradually forming an idea. Since he couldn't find professional talent, he might as well choose from his own people, targeting those with social experience and vast networks.

Who?

At this thought, the image of a man radiating Buddha-like light instantly popped into Su Tianyu's mind.

"That's right, look for him!"

Su Tianyu stood up excitedly and immediately called Hou Guoyu, "Come, drive and pick me up, quick!"

Monkey had been working by Su Tianyu's side for a long time. With his outstanding business skills and impressive bootlicking abilities, he was deeply loved by his boss, so he naturally became the first employee of the General Administration.

The two drove to Longkou District and stopped in front of the Gu family's door.

After waiting a while, Gu Baisun came out in his pajamas, looking at Su Tianyu with some confusion and asking, "What's the matter?"

"Urgent matter, come on, get in the car!" Su Tianyu waved his hand.

Gu Baisun blinked, "You still have to let me change clothes, right?!"

"No need to change, this is more convenient," Su Tianyu pushed open the car door.

Hearing this, a chill ran down Gu Baisun's spine, "Wh-what kind of business is it, how can it be more convenient? I'm telling you… I'm not like Da Bai."

"Let's go, let's go!" Su Tianyu looked up and said to Monkey, "To Zha Nan!"

"What's going on?" Gu Baisun asked curiously.

Without a word, Su Tianyu handed Gu Baisun the establishment plan he had prepared in the car.

About five minutes later, Gu Baisun finished reading the plan and said with some dissatisfaction, "Can I not do it?"

"Why?" Su Tianyu asked.

"I think you should keep me out of the core departments, I'm fine just being in charge of the code worker association," Gu Baisun replied with feigned coyness.

Su Tianyu looked at him with a smile, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of being punished if I don't do well, and losing my life if I do too well." Gu Baisun said frankly, "You know my position in the team has always been awkward, I don't have many friends, if…"

"Hey, you're right." Su Tianyu looked at him, "The reason I'm looking for you is because you're not close to anyone in the team."

Gu Baisun was stunned, "Ah, if you put it that way, I understand. You just want me to offend as many people as possible, right?"

"So, are you in or not?" Su Tianyu asked.

"…You're Sixth Master, if you tell me to offend people, then I'll offend people!" Gu Baisun replied with a smile.

The two smiled at each other and changed the subject.

…

About twenty minutes later.

The car stopped in front of a courtyard house in Zha Nan District. Su Tianyu led Gu Baisun and Monkey inside, "Long time no see, Brother Feng!"

Lu Feng was sitting in the stone pavilion in the courtyard, wearing a linen Tang suit. Seeing Su Tianyu and the others approaching, he immediately stood up and said, "Long time no see, Chief Su!"

"Hehe, you're too immortal." Seeing Grandmaster Lu drinking tea, eating fruit, and sitting in a rattan rocking chair, Su Tianyu couldn't help but feel envious.

"Hey, it's cool to sit here for a while." Lu Feng waved his hand and greeted, "Don't be polite, sit down!"

Everyone sat down, and Lu Feng rubbed his prayer beads and began pouring tea for the three, "So, what's this all about?"

Su Tianyu handed over the document that Gu Baisun had read, "Take a look, Brother Feng."

"You guys drink tea." Grandmaster Lu struck a pose, sitting upright in the pavilion, looking every bit like a literary giant reading forbidden books under the moonlight.

"Brother, you're holding it upside down, it's a landscape document," Hou Guoyu kindly reminded.

"Sorry, it's been years since I've looked at anything with words," Grandmaster Lu said pretentiously, opening the document and admiring it.

Ten minutes later, a gust of cold wind swept through, and Grandmaster Lu put down the document, asking with a serious expression, "Six, I don't understand what you mean. You want me to donate money, or…?"

"I want you to be an official. Deputy Director of the General Administration, mainly in charge of external affairs," Su Tianyu replied.

Lu Feng blinked, "May I ask, how many people are currently in this General Administration?"

"Currently… there are four people. Namely, Hei Lao (Old Black), the chief of the action division, Gu Baisun, the deputy director of internal affairs, Hou Guoyu, the chief of the security division, and myself, the director," Su Tianyu replied truthfully.

"Just… just four people, and you're calling it the Global Chinese Affairs Administration?!" Grandmaster Lu couldn't help but blurt out a curse, "Isn't that a bit much?"

"Calling it global gets more funding."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Lu Feng blinked, "So, what about the funding?"

"The higher-ups are approving it, it'll be down in a while."

"Oh, so the money hasn't arrived yet?" Lu Feng muttered, "Then where are you planning to get the grassroots staff?"

"From you!" Gu Baisun immediately said, "Changqing Company, global airborne, isn't that your slogan? You have a lot of people, and shrines everywhere. We can open the doors and directly burn incense and worship Buddha."

Lu Feng rubbed his hands, "No people, no money. Five people have to get things done, and it's a global unit?! You guys have really nailed the slogans."

"Oh, this matter…!"

"To be honest, I'm going to become a monk on the fifteenth of next month," Grandmaster Lu blinked, "I'm about to shave my head, so I won't be mixing with you guys."

Su Tianyu immediately grabbed him, "Let's discuss it some more!"

"There's really nothing to discuss, brother! You don't have a single person, and you're relying on me to pull them in. I won't make much money, and if I end up with a few moles, I'll be eating a peanut, it's not worth it!" Lu Feng pushed Su Tianyu, "Have some tea, there's plenty of fruit!"

"I'm not your brother anymore?! I'm not your Brother Feng anymore?!?"

"Brother, I really don't want to get involved in politics, I really want to become a monk, I've already found someone to shave my head."

"Enter the Buddhist gate two years later, Buddha doesn't need one person less. Be a good brother and help me!" Su Tianyu grabbed Lu Feng and started coaxing him.

…

Washington D.C.

Inside the hall of a certain reception, An Zecheng made a phone call to Tan Hengqiang, "I've contacted some people on my end, but Dragon City also needs to make some moves to cooperate."

"Tell me, how should we cooperate?"

"Have you personally send an invitation to Lao Li," An Zecheng said concisely, "No need to say much…"

"Alright!" Tan Hengqiang replied straightforwardly.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Mingsheng received an invitation from Tan Hengqiang with a small line of text.

Inviting Brother Li to Longhe to enjoy the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
