Chapter 612 Speaking Up
"The company's most important focus right now is brand marketing, followed by the football team's variety show."
"I'll be personally responsible for brand operations and marketing. Is there any problem with the variety show?"
Director Yu Long, who was called out, immediately nodded, "Don't worry, President Liu. We already have a project proposal and are currently assembling a team."
The matter of the company producing its own variety show was put on the agenda after Su Ya returned from Shanghai.
At first, Yu Long hadn't fully grasped the situation.
Later, news of the suppression of the Yangyangyang Company spread within the industry. Yu Long, having been in the business for a long time, figured out what was going on through a series of inquiries.
Although Tao Yun was out of danger, he was reportedly going to be on medication for the rest of his life. Yu Long understood that he had thoroughly offended the other party.
He even screened potential hires very carefully, fearing that they might be spies sent to cause trouble.
After leaving the conference room, Chen Yang was about to depart when Su Ya pulled him aside.
"What exactly is going on? Liu Ran would never make such a decision alone. Tell me, are you playing tricks behind the scenes? Do you know how dangerous this is for the company?"
"Others might move a single piece and affect the whole board, but you're trying to pull the entire Zhou family's truck with a single strand of hair. Do you really think I didn't see that the companies above are all partners of the Zhou family?"
"Liu Ran had asked me to secretly investigate the Zhou family before. I was wondering why..."
"Including the previous match!"
Although there was no blame in Su Ya's eyes, she was still somewhat angry about this decision.
This was tantamount to sending them to their deaths!
More importantly, she felt excluded, an ineffable sense of discomfort.
"Chen Yang, why aren't you saying anything!"
At the morning meeting, Su Ya had already raised doubts about the football team.
However, Chen Yang had only told Liu Ran the reason at the time, and others were unaware of the inside story.
Everyone had just assumed it was Chen Yang's obsession with football, but now, Su Ya had sensed that something was wrong.
It wasn't about the football team at all; it was a direct targeting of the Zhou family.
As soon as Su Ya finished speaking, Chen Yang's gaze became sharp, "Yes, you're right. I am targeting the Zhou family. I was the one who brought this up at the morning meeting."
"It's all because of me."
Su Ya showed no surprise at Chen Yang's words and asked directly, "I need to know the reason, why are you doing this?"
Chen Yang looked out at the scenery on the balcony, calmed himself, and then slowly uttered four words: "Blood feud."
Chen Yang had not intended to reveal this matter to anyone, especially Su Ya.
But now, the company's actions had clearly made Su Ya feel the danger, and he had to give her an answer to her questioning.
Su Ya stood frozen in place, and she didn't snap out of it until Chen Yang left and a cold wind woke her up.
Blood feud!
The calmness in Chen Yang's tone when he said these four words gave Su Ya a sense of dread.
Su Ya then remembered the many burdens Chen Yang carried.
This man was full of secrets, and he even had so much enmity with the Zhou family.
However, after learning the reason, Su Ya felt no fear. Instead, she said calmly to Chen Yang's retreating back, "Your enemy is quite formidable. You'll have to give me a raise."
Chen Yang froze for a few seconds before reaching his hand back, "I'll tell my wife for you."
Chen Yang, after parting ways with Su Ya, went to Liu Ran's office. Before he could speak, Liu Ran said, "Did Su Ya interrogate you?"
"You've known her for a while, you know her temper. Don't be angry."
Since the Zhou family's information came from Su Ya, Liu Ran wasn't surprised by any reaction from her.
Chen Yang sat on the sofa, lost in thought for a while, then murmured, "This should have been my personal vendetta; I shouldn't have involved so many people."
Yangyangyang Company was not just about a few of them. The company now had tens of thousands of employees, not to mention the many factories under Yangyangyang Company.
If they included all the partner enterprises, the number would be enormous.
If Yangyangyang Company lost, their livelihoods would be jeopardized.
Just then, Liu Ran also sat down next to Chen Yang, hugged his arm, and smiled.
"Whether it was getting married or starting this company, we've faced many difficulties along the way, but haven't we always overcome them?"
"We won't lose. I believe in you, and you must believe in me."
Although it was just a simple sentence, it touched Chen Yang's heart.
Yes, a Zhou family!
Although they were powerful, they were far from untouchable.
During the most difficult times in the Celestial Doctor Hall, as the Celestial Doctor Venerable, he carried the lives of hundreds of people and still came through.
The gloom in Chen Yang's heart instantly cleared.
After leaving the company, Chen Yang immediately went to the storage location of the Bronze Tree.
As long as he became strong enough, even if the Zhou family had many Grandmasters, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him!
Improve strength!
The interior of the Bronze Tree stored an unknown amount of essence blood. If he absorbed it all, even if he couldn't break through, it would definitely elevate his physical strength to another level.
As the surging Chen Yang entered the Bronze Tree, the Bronze Tree itself trembled.
However, Chen Yang didn't absorb it directly. Instead, he took out a drop of essence blood and placed it on a branch of the Bronze Tree.
This was essence blood that Chen Yang had extracted from Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo had completely become a madman. Chen Yang had originally planned to ask him some questions after he recovered, but Chen Yang realized that even he couldn't cure Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo's madness was not due to mental issues or other problems, but a change in his own bodily functions!
"This drop of blood is the essence blood of a peak Grandmaster after mutation. After I absorb the power you've extracted, will my body also change like his?"
Chen Yang looked at the Bronze Tree and spoke to himself. Chen Yang's intention was to remind himself of the potential danger.
After all, there was no clue so far to suggest that this Bronze Tree, like the tree in the Misty Village, possessed its own sentience.
Just then, a strange voice sounded, "No."
The voice seemed to come from thousands of miles away, yet it also sounded like a whisper in his ear, startling Chen Yang into stepping back repeatedly.
After a while, Chen Yang stared intently at the Bronze Tree before him and asked, "Was that you speaking just now?"
The tree in the Misty Village could control the holes in the ancestral temple to produce sound, but how could this Bronze Tree speak!
