Qin Yexuan's direct punishment demonstrated the strictness of his tutelage.
Then, with a sigh, he reattached Chen Tian Ce's severed finger and had Li Tian Xing produce painkillers used by the military.
He patted Chen Tian Ce's shoulder gently. "Be more careful in the future. Remember this: appointing the wrong people leads to endless trouble!"
Chen Tian Ce, with one finger bandaged, breathed a huge sigh of relief. Even Li Tian Xing looked relieved.
Their master was truly angry, as the mistake had crossed his fundamental principles.
But their master also genuinely cared for his disciples, and had given Chen Tian Ce a second chance.
Qin Yexuan then looked at his third disciple. "To give you some face, don't tell the other martial brothers about this. Tian Xing is the eldest disciple; one day, I will entrust everything to his management, so it's fine if he knows."
Chen Tian Ce was touched. "Master, you are so considerate. I truly know my mistake..."
Qin Yexuan waved his hand. "Let's not mention this again. From now on, I will personally manage Tianyi!"
Chen Tian Ce was overjoyed. "Master, are you finally coming out of seclusion?"
Qin Yexuan smiled. "Not quite. Once Bing Yan and the others gain more experience, I'll hand over the conglomerate to them."
He immediately instructed Manager Zhang to report to Tianyi's headquarters and then to purge all middle and high-level management, replacing them with new professional managers.
"Manager Zhang, you will temporarily head the human resources department. Vet candidates carefully, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Finding talent takes time, and it's inevitable that some undesirable individuals will slip through initially. I will give you ample time!" Chen Tian Ce said slowly. "From today onwards, I will step down to a deputy position at Tianyi. Once Master makes his final decision, the top management roles will be determined."
Li Tian Xing ordered his subordinates to clean up the scene.
Qin Yexuan had already leisurely risen and left. He still needed to go back to the Su family's villa to cook.
Li Tian Xing, with Chen Tian Ce, rushed back to Wanhao Villa.
At Wanhao Villa, the martial brothers gathered once more.
"Master intends to take charge of the Tianyi conglomerate. This current small-scale group is no longer sufficient."
Li Tian Xing declared, tapping the table. "Among us martial brothers, I am involved in the military and have little experience in business. However, I do have several small military-industrial enterprises under the military's name. I plan to transfer them to Master's Tianyi conglomerate!"
The other martial brothers were astonished.
"Eldest Brother, those are not small enterprises you have there. They are the renowned Hu Guo Jun Wu (Nation-Guarding Military Industries), ranking among the top ten in the world in terms of assets, wealth, and reputation!"
"Eldest Brother, you are contributing so much. What can we offer in return?"
Fang Ling Su smiled wryly. "I'm just a doctor; I have nothing substantial. Well, I can give Shen Yi Tang (Divine Doctor Hall) back to Master. From now on, Shen Yi Tang will be a subordinate department of Tianyi."
Everyone was speechless.
Even the eldest brother, Li Tian Xing, couldn't help but exclaim, "Shen Yi Tang, the foremost national medical hall in the land. Ling Su, you're essentially giving away your dowry to our Master."
Xiao Zhan Shen (War God Xiao) scratched his head anxiously. "I'm just a foot soldier; I don't have anything of value."
Suddenly inspired, he made a phone call to his grand-disciple Chen Qiu Hai. After a brief conversation, he returned triumphantly. "President Nan's legal conglomerate is joining Tianyi. I've become a partial shareholder."
He chuckled. "Eldest Brother, don't look at me like that. I didn't use any military resources. The military is a vital national asset, and Master would never allow it to be used for personal favors. I used my family's private assets!"
Xiao Zhan Shen was the heir of the Xiao family. The magnitude of the Xiao family's influence was well understood by everyone present.
"You cunning fellow!" Lie Yuan Zun, the fifth disciple, couldn't sit still. He stood up and scratched his head. "Then I'll contribute my Tian Mo (Heavenly Demon) mercenary group that operates beyond the outer realms..."
Before he could finish, everyone objected. "This is Da Xia, not your outer realms. Mercenary groups are murderers with guns. Can they join Tianyi? What do you want our Master to do?"
Lie Yuan Zun continued scratching his head. "However, the shipping companies under my Tian Mo command operate across the seven seas, known as the Dragon Kings of the Sea. Those are legitimate businesses!"
Thus, the Seven Seas Dragon King Maritime Trade Group also joined Tianyi.
Chen Tian Ce, his finger bandaged, walked in with a smile. "I heard everything. I just did a preliminary tally, and it's incredible. The Tianyi conglomerate is now likely the number one in the world!"
No one could precisely calculate Tianyi's true strength.
However, with the integration of so many resources, it was undoubtedly a super behemoth!
Concurrently, a meeting of Tianyi's highest management was underway.
Committee Chairman: Qin Yexuan!
This was undisputed.
Next, Vice Chairmen: The martial brothers didn't even need to discuss; they wrote down the names of the Su family's five sisters.
"After our Master's wife passed away, all of Master's attention was focused on these five. Since the conglomerate will eventually be handed over to them, five vice chairmen are acceptable."
Below them was the advisory board.
The martial brothers all wrote down their names.
The restructuring of the Tianyi conglomerate was officially complete.
Undoubtedly, this was the world's number one conglomerate!
