Chapter 1577 - 1576: Kneel
Chapter 1577 - 1576: Kneel
Tang Rao's command issued forth, the most shocked person was undoubtedly Cha Xiangzi.While he was in the Kao Shan Sect, he was treated the same as everyone else. Tang Rao only got closer to him because they knew each other earlier.
Being close is one thing, but whether Cha Xiangzi becomes the Vice Sect Leader is another. Why did Tang Rao dare to directly appoint him to such an important position?
One must know that the previous Vice Sect Leader was personally chosen by Tang Rao, but in the end, the person chose betrayal. For this Vice Sect Leader, doesn't Tang Rao intend to think it over carefully?
In public, Cha Xiangzi obeyed Tang Rao's arrangements, not wanting to embarrass Tang Rao in front of nearly a thousand people. In private, as soon as the meeting ended, Tang Rao followed closely behind Cha Xiangzi like a shadow. Tang Rao was silent, and so was he, until they reached Tang Rao's courtyard, where he finally stopped.
"Boss, I have something to say."
A little further in was Tang Rao's personal area. Without Tang Rao's consent, every step he took in the Water Bamboo Platform could potentially trigger a trap.
"Come in and speak."
What Cha Xiangzi wanted to say couldn't be expressed in a few words, moreover, Tang Rao also had matters to instruct him about.
Entering the so-called forbidden area of the boss's heart, every step Cha Xiangzi took made him slightly cover his heart with apprehension, fearing he might step on something he shouldn't, scaring his heart out.
"Boss, I feel I am unqualified to be the Vice Sect Leader of the Kao Shan Sect."
Tang Rao, however, casually found a place to sit down and started drinking tea quietly. It would be one thing if the two of them were alone together, but neither spoke a word, creating an intensely awkward atmosphere.
"Unqualified, huh?"
Tang Rao took a sip of tea before taking out a tea set and pouring another cup for him.
"Yes, I feel I am unqualified."
Cha Xiangzi sat directly opposite Tang Rao, sitting with his back straight, exuding a righteous aura, as if he wouldn't yield to oppressive forces.
"Oh? I have acknowledged your ability. Why do you think you are unable to handle it?"
This time, Tang Rao did not assert his dominance, instead wanting to hear Cha Xiangzi's thoughts and opinions.
"I feel the position of Vice Sect Leader is very high and sacred. I am just an ordinary member of the Kao Shan Sect, and if it weren't for my negligence this time, not reporting Xiao Yue's anomaly in advance to the boss, the losses of the Kao Shan Sect wouldn't have become so severe."
Whenever he mentioned the losses of the Kao Shan Sect, Cha Xiangzi's entire demeanor would drop, leaving only deep self-blame on his face and in his heart.
"So, boss, since I am at fault, I should be punished, not rewarded. The boss wants me to be the Vice Sect Leader, and I just cannot get over that in my heart."
"Is it you or I who decides what counts as a reward and who is qualified?"
Tang Rao stared calmly into Cha Xiangzi's eyes, as if peering into his soul. As soon as those captivating eyes looked at Cha Xiangzi, he couldn't help but shudder slightly.
This is the charisma of a leader. A simple gaze can make others yield at their feet.
"Of course, the boss has the final say."
This statement by Tang Rao, Cha Xiangzi thoroughly agreed with. Alas, he wondered if the boss's decision might have been too hasty?
"Since you said I, as the boss, have the final say, then let me decide this time. The Vice Sect Leader of the Kao Shan Sect is my choice, and I will take full responsibility for it!"
One occurrence with Xiao Yue should not make everyone fear this position. Moreover, Tang Rao believed that he had made an oversight once, but it's not possible to always choose wrong!
"Thank you for the boss's trust!"
Cha Xiangzi got up from his seat and knelt deeply in front of Tang Rao, bowing his head.
Superficial formalities Tang Rao disdained, but the bow Cha Xiangzi just made profoundly shook Tang Rao's soul.
A man's kneel has immense value. What kind of courage and gratitude must have driven Cha Xiangzi to kneel down and bow to Tang Rao?
Since Cha Xiangzi said so, it was also a sign that he agreed to this position.
"Since you've taken on the position of Vice Sect Leader, you ought to help share some responsibilities, right?"
They say women change expressions faster than flipping pages, but Tang Rao changes expressions faster than women.
Those cunning phoenix eyes closely watched Cha Xiangzi, inducing a sense of guilt in him.
"Logically, it should be so, but looking at the boss's eyes, I feel nothing good will happen."
Cha Xiangzi guessed correctly; indeed, Tang Rao didn't have anything good to share.
"You are a member of the Kao Shan Sect. If the Kao Shan Sect develops well, you, as Vice Sect Leader, will also have face, right?"
First, he offers Cha Xiangzi an olive branch, letting him see some benefits, then makes Cha Xiangzi realize that if he wants to see the Kao Shan Sect developed well, he must make more contributions himself. If Cha Xiangzi doesn't contribute more, that is hindering the development of the Kao Shan Sect.
Hindering the development of the Kao Shan Sect is treason, a disservice to all humanity.
"Alright, alright, boss, no need to say more. Just tell me what you want, and if I can do it, I will try my best."
Though intelligent his whole life, Cha Xiangzi couldn't avoid falling into the trap Tang Rao set.
"Regarding Xiao Yue's departure, I will personally investigate. Just as I said to all brothers, in the future we are not only going to conquer the Northern Island, but it's time to make moves on the other islands as well. However, to truly make the Kao Shan Sect grow, it's not possible solely through numbers and personal strength. Clear responsibilities are needed, or the Kao Shan Sect will be no different than a scattered pile of sand. The Kao Shan Sect needs to be formed by various divisions, each selecting talents capable of taking on major responsibilities, and under detailed division of labor, I believe the development of the Kao Shan Sect will be just around the corner."
Ah, the development of the Kao Shan Sect, what a magnificent dream.
Cha Xiangzi never told Tang Rao he had thought about this plan before, and not just once. Nevertheless, he was a nobody, and the boss never mentioned reform, so he only kept this idea to himself. Now it seems that what he once thought wasn't just a fantasy, perhaps this time, his dream is also about to come true.
"No problem, I guarantee to complete the tasks assigned by the boss."
The Vice Sect Leader, Cha Xiangzi had suddenly become the Vice Sect Leader of the Kao Shan Sect, but why was his heart still unsettled?
"With Xiao Yue's departure, who knows how Lao Geng has been recently. I'd like to go see Lao Geng."
Cha Xiangzi was very close with Geng Bucuo; it was normal for him to want to visit Geng Bucuo. As for whether Geng Bucuo would become extreme after Xiao Yue's departure, Tang Rao also wanted Cha Xiangzi to go and assess the situation first.
With Tang Rao's approval, the first place Cha Xiangzi went to was Geng Bucuo's small courtyard.
