After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 582 4 Tasks

"As the organization's sole representative in Dan Ding City, Ming Ge has a heavy and delicate responsibility. He serves as a bridge connecting the organization and the Dan Alliance, requiring you to navigate between light and darkness. Therefore, the demands on your abilities are extremely high."

To help you get up to speed quickly, I have four things to tell you.

"First, let's talk about things on the surface."

Before I leave, I will announce to the public that I have health problems, so I have brought you—my distant nephew—to take over the Feng Family Pharmacy that I run.

As the owner of a medicinal herb shop, you must ensure the reputation and profitability of Fengshi Pharmacy as a high-end medicinal herb store.

Therefore, you need to be proficient in medicinal materials, master the distribution channels of rare medicinal materials, maintain good relationships with medicinal material suppliers and buyers, and ensure that your identity can withstand scrutiny and investigation.

I will hand over those channels and suppliers to you.

Although buying and selling medicinal herbs is not the organization's primary objective, it is indeed a very important source of income for Feng's Pharmacy.

Some high-ranking members of the organization also take some high-end elixirs to Feng's Pharmacy to sell. There is a lot of room for manipulation in this process, and how much you can sell depends entirely on your own abilities.

Although the existence of the Wind and Rain Pavilion was not a secret to the Dan Alliance, continued legitimate business was a necessary cover.

In addition, your job includes the daily operation of the pharmacy, personnel management, and security.

In short, everything was designed to ensure that Feng's Pharmacy appeared to be a normal, respectable, and tasteful pharmacy.

At this point, Qian Zengming picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"After you've done the work on the surface, what's left is the real operation of Feng's Pharmacy, and the covert intelligence gathering and sales."

The first step is customer screening and contact. Every "buyer" who walks into Fengshi Pharmacy could be our customer.

Identifying potential intelligence clients from their words, actions, and probing remarks requires a keen eye and extensive experience in judging people.

However, you don't really need to do this. The three managers I've trained can take over your job. You just need to manage those three well, and you can sit back and relax.

In addition, Feng's Pharmacy has some regular intelligence providers. These are people I have carefully selected who are extremely valuable for intelligence. You may not be able to gain their approval, and how many you can retain depends entirely on your abilities.

However, I will still give you the list.

Regarding the sale of intelligence, the organization has an internal floor price for each piece of intelligence; anything above that floor price is your own profit.

This requires you to have a certain understanding of the guest's identity and ability to pay, and negotiation skills are crucial in this regard, which I cannot teach you.

As for intelligence gathering, you'll have to bear the costs yourself.

The most important ability of a Mingge member is to judge the true value of intelligence.

You need to conduct a preliminary value assessment and quote based on the scarcity of intelligence, the difficulty of obtaining it, its timeliness, and the value of the Fengyulou.

The organization will evaluate the value of each piece of intelligence you provide and award you corresponding contribution points. This also serves as an important reference for the organization's evaluation of your work.

"The third thing, and the most difficult part, is the relationship with the higher-ups in Dan Ding City and other forces."

After I leave, the overt intelligence network I've established in Danding City may be destroyed, and you'll need to rebuild your own intelligence network.

You need to maintain good relations with the upper echelons of the Dan Alliance and regularly participate in necessary social activities in Dan Ding City.

The core principle of dealing with them is to maintain a superficial harmony, utilize their rules to preserve our unique value, and extract the intelligence the organization needs.

In addition, you should also maintain contact with the prominent families, large chambers of commerce, and well-known independent cultivators in Dan Ding City.

These people are potential clients and potential intelligence sources, which requires you to have a wide network of contacts and excellent interpersonal skills.

I'll take you to get acquainted with them in the next couple of days; hopefully that will be helpful.

"Finally, since you haven't received professional training from the Ming Pavilion, I need to give you a basic introduction to the relationship between the Ming Pavilion and the Dark Pavilion, as well as the Mirror Masters and their respective responsibilities."

After all, only when the three of you each fulfill your respective roles can the Feng Family Pharmacy truly operate efficiently.

"The Mirror Master is your closest and most core partner, as well as your most important supervisor and supporter. Together you are responsible to the headquarters of the Wind and Rain Tower."

You need to clearly, accurately, and promptly convey all important information to the Mirror Master, and receive and execute the instructions given by the Mirror Master.

Although the Ming Pavilion and the Mirror Master are of equal rank within the organization, the Mirror Master actually holds a slightly higher position than the Ming and An Pavilions.

As for the Dark Pavilion, you are like light and shadow; you control the light, and he controls the darkness. He only communicates with you through a single channel.

You need to submit specific intelligence mission requirements to the Dark Pavilion based on the needs of the guests or the intelligence gathering needs of the Wind and Rain Pavilion itself.

However, you cannot directly command the Dark Cabinet; you can only clearly convey your needs to him.

I hope you understand the difficulty and risks involved in the Dark Pavilion's operations. Unless the organization mandates it, do not assign overly dangerous missions.

"In addition, I have some personal reasons. All the public staff of the pharmacy, including the waiters and the three managers, are talents I have carefully selected. I hope that you can continue to employ them after you take over the pharmacy."

This is just a small request I have for you.

After Qian Zengming finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh softly, and then picked up his teacup again and took a sip of tea.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will never dismiss any employee of the pharmacy unless absolutely necessary."

Shen Xu was processing the information Qian Zengming had given him. He had no idea that Mingge of Fengyu Tower required so much work, so why did Duan Lan seem so free?

Even though Chi Xiaorou can help him handle the pharmacy business, he still needs to deal with external matters personally.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Qian Zengming couldn't help but smile.

Always leaving yourself room for maneuver is also a sign of good character.

And since he was able to listen to him so attentively for so long, he was starting to believe that this young man might actually be able to take over his job.

He was furious when he heard that headquarters had sent a kid to take over his job. He had been running Dan Ding City for so long, and an unsuitable successor would only ruin everything.

Judging from the young man's performance, he seems to be doing quite well. The organization does indeed need some fresh blood to support its future.

But it's too early to draw conclusions. He has a few more days, enough time to see whether this young man is truly a talent or just a genius with no substance.

However, he could foresee that Wuhen would face great difficulties in Danding City.

Although he is indeed a genius, his strength is too weak, and no one would be willing to sit at the negotiating table with someone who is weaker than themselves.

Furthermore, he knew that the Yan family was eyeing his position, and now that a young man had stolen his love, they would definitely join forces and use any means necessary to bring him down.

He wouldn't do anything that would offend anyone, no matter who he offended. He would only do his job well for Wu Hen.

If this young man can still achieve results under these circumstances, then he might consider investing in him.

As far as he knew, there were only two people in the entire Fengyulou who could bypass so many high-ranking officials and place someone with no qualifications or background in his position.

With the arrival of Chi Xiaorou, it's obvious who's standing behind Wu Hen.
