It is to collect them into the Emperor's Banner and temper their souls!

Zhou Cheng leaned back, resting against the chair, his eyes fixed intently on He Yubing.

Don't be fooled by how outrageous or even childish this question might seem; it is, in fact, the most important one.

It is far more reliable than questioning or examining He Yubing's corporate management abilities or her loyalty to me—or rather, to my late mother!

This world is not a parallel world to the one from my previous life, but rather a world where many short dramas have merged together.

And as everyone knows, the values and even the behaviors of many people in the world of short dramas are completely different from those in the normal world!

For instance, there is a case Zhou Cheng heard Captain Cheng talk about at the station these past few days.

A mother, wanting to celebrate her daughter's birthday, took out her phone to look at photos and videos of her daughter while driving home. In a moment of Divided Soul, she accidentally hit and killed her own daughter, and then, out of fear, actually ran her over repeatedly before fleeing!

Afterwards, when she got home and couldn't find her daughter, she even took her husband to the police station to report that her daughter was missing.

Zhou Cheng was completely dumbfounded when he heard it at the time.

He didn't know whose script that was.

Starting off with accidentally running over her daughter, then the daughter goes missing, and she spends dozens of episodes acting devastated while searching for her.

Upon learning her daughter was hit and killed, she vows to take revenge, acting for another few dozen episodes.

It hooked the audience's appetite to see the mother discover that she was the one who ran over her daughter, dragging it out until the last ten episodes!

Besides that, Zhou Cheng also heard some gossip from Qin Ming: a young master and company president of a hundred-billion-level Family in Shanghai wants to marry a fifty-something-year-old maid!

The reason is that the auntie looks exactly like his deceased girlfriend, and after a series of plot developments, it turns out his girlfriend was the maid's daughter, just lost when she was a child.

In the end, it turned into a daughter-substitute marriage...

It simply rubbed Zhou Cheng's values against the ground repeatedly, but fortunately, Zhou Cheng was already used to it.

The world of short dramas really has too many outrageous things!

Therefore, for the sake of his life as a rich second-generation, Zhou Cheng must be cautious and even more cautious in selecting a manager who is truly worthy of trust!

He Yubing looked at Zhou Cheng, remaining silent for a long time.

She wanted to see in Zhou Cheng's eyes whether he was toying with her.

She wanted to know if Zhou Cheng was worth her full support and assistance.

The Eldest Young Master is thoroughly love-brained and no longer qualifies; now, the only choices are the Second Young Master before her and the Eldest Young Miss!

And judging from the question Zhou Cheng asked, she felt that this Second Young Master was very unreliable!

...

Both were extremely independent and aloof, staring at each other, but in the end, it was He Yubing who withdrew her gaze.

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng smiled indifferently, his gaze dropping, and he sighed inwardly that He Yubing was truly worthy of being the chief assistant of Chenyang Group, and worthy of being personally selected and cultivated by his own mother.

This aura is powerful enough!

If he were his older brother, he would definitely choose He Yubing instead of the one from the Ye Family!

Regardless of ability or appearance, Zhou Cheng felt that He Yubing was more cost-effective!

And her aura is powerful enough!

"Second Young Master, are you serious with this question? I think it would be best to ask some valuable questions right now. I graduated from Tsinghua University, completed my undergraduate and master's studies together, and then went to London for further studies. After returning to the country..."

He Yubing did not answer Zhou Cheng's question, but instead spoke about her own abilities.

But she was interrupted by Zhou Cheng again.

"I will check your personal profile myself for these things. At the same time, your abilities have already been recognized by my older brother, so there's no need to say more. Just answer my question directly," Zhou Cheng said.

"But... Second Young Master, what you asked...?"

"Answer directly." Zhou Cheng did not explain.

Sigh.

He Yubing let out a breath, feeling somewhat helpless. In the lounge next door, that Zhou Mu was busy building familiar relationships with the directors of the Board of Directors, company executives, and executives from various branch companies.

And here, her own Second Young Master was still asking her such a childish question.

Forget it. He Yubing thought for a moment and then spoke:

"First, if I were the Second Prince, I definitely would not withdraw my troops! Nor would I surrender military power to plead guilty, because once military power is surrendered, it becomes a situation where others are the knife and I am the fish, and the outcome would inevitably be miserable!"

"Therefore, the correct approach is to rationally analyze each other's strength and analyze whether the capital can be taken. If not, or if the casualties would be too great, peace talks are the optimal choice."

"I would force the Emperor to issue an edict of self-reproach, then preserve my military strength and choose the most affluent fief! As for the Empress, that is none of my business. I, He Yubing, will never be love-brained! I will not sacrifice my career for a woman!"

He Yubing said slowly, appearing extremely rational.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng nodded: "Not bad, barely a passing grade."

This answer was already quite good.

After all, according to the plots of some short dramas, the protagonists or supporting characters in them might really, upon hearing the Empress's words, surrender their military power and head to the imperial palace to plead guilty!

Upon hearing Zhou Cheng's evaluation, He Yubing frowned slightly. This was only barely a passing grade?

She could not think of a better approach.

"Why is it only barely a passing grade?"

"Have you heard the story of 'Eight hundred is eight hundred'?"

"Since you have already fought your way to the capital, and everyone is a prince, who is to say who cannot sit on the Emperor's throne?"

"My brothers under my command are waiting to be ennobled and appointed as prime ministers! Of course, the thing to do is to fight into the capital and slaughter all opponents!" Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice.

His tone did not fluctuate much, yet it made He Yubing's expression freeze.

"Then what about the Empress? How would you deal with her?"

"What Empress? Didn't she commit suicide out of fear of punishment along with the false Emperor?" Zhou Cheng said indifferently!

His tone was calm, yet a wave of ruthlessness surged forward!

Even the person he once loved most, he killed?

He Yubing's pupils dilated slightly! Zhou Cheng's answer exceeded all her expectations!

Her heart, which had always been calm, fluttered a few times because of Zhou Cheng's ruthless words!

"This question was asked of the Second Prince. You are a woman; if you don't surrender military power, choose peace talks, and secure the best fief, that is also a passing grade!"

"Let me ask you again!"

"You are a female Cultivator at the Mahayana Realm! You are the strongest in the Sect. At this moment, a Junior Sister at the Qi Refining Rank comes to the Peak of Questioning Crimes to lodge a complaint, saying you stole her Foundation Establishment Pill."

"The Saint who grew up with you as your childhood sweetheart also stands on her side, demanding that you abolish your own cultivation and go to the Valley of Sin to be punished. What should you do?"

This world also has Xianxia and Xuanhuan novels, but they are mostly focused on romance.

Those Ranks and Realms are about the same as in Zhou Cheng's previous life.

Listening to Zhou Cheng's words, He Yubing's pretty brows were still furrowed.

She didn't expect Zhou Cheng to come up with this kind of question.

But this time she didn't say much, instead starting to think.

After about half a minute, she spoke:

"This question is similar to the previous one. If it were me, I definitely would not abolish my own cultivation. At the same time, I wouldn't listen to the so-called Saint, because I, He Yubing, cannot be love-brained!"

"As for what to do, of course, I would use my Mahayana Realm cultivation to find evidence to prove my innocence. At the same time, in order to ensure my authority is no longer questioned, the Junior Sister who framed me must be punished! And it must be a severe punishment!"

He Yubing understood this routine; it was just like establishing authority in the Group!

She was not a soft-hearted person!

"If it were you, you would definitely slaughter that Junior Sister, right?" He Yubing added, looking at Zhou Cheng again.

"Still barely a passing grade!" Zhou Cheng said casually.

"Also, do not guess my thoughts at will."

"However, I can tell you my approach. Since they are so united and insist that I stole the Foundation Establishment Pill, I, of course, must first find evidence to prove I didn't steal it."

He Yubing was somewhat surprised upon hearing this; why wasn't he ruthlessly slaughtering everyone like before?

"Therefore, I would directly extract the Junior Sister's Soul, and then perform the Soul-Searching Technique to search her Soul! At that time, the truth would naturally come to light!"

He Yubing: ?!!!

"If you do that, the people from other Sects will gang up on you! This is a major taboo in Group management!"

"Exactly, so the other people in the Sect must be handled properly."

"Therefore, afterwards, I would take the Junior Sister, the Saint, and everyone who opposes me into the black-smoke-emitting human sovereign banner! To help them Cultivate!"

Upon hearing this, He Yubing's heart pounded violently, and she looked at Zhou Cheng!

The terrifying thing was that she didn't feel that Zhou Cheng was cruel.

On the contrary, she actually felt a surge of hot blood!

"Kill them all?"

"No, it is to take them into the human sovereign banner and hone their Souls!"

He Yubing: !!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
