Liu Quanzhen suppressed the anger in his heart, his expression an awkward mask of forced cheerfulness.

He looked at Yuan Mu Ye, forcing a smile. "Little brother, don't worry. We definitely don't mean any harm."

Zhao Tian had just attacked Yuan Mu Ye, and now he was saying they meant no harm.

Did they really think Yuan Mu Ye was a fool?

Yuan Mu Ye scanned the two men, his wariness unwavering.

"What are you doing here?"

After a pause, Yuan Mu Ye asked directly.

"We were just passing by and sensed the presence of evil ghosts here. We came specifically to investigate, but shortly after entering the city, we discovered that the evil ghosts had already been killed, so we followed the trail here," Liu Quanzhen said.

Zhao Tian stood beside him, looking displeased.

"Brother Liu, I don't see the need to waste words on this kid."

"Brother Zhao, don't be impatient. Evil ghosts are rampant, and our living environment is terrible. Now that we've finally encountered such a capable brother, I think we should unite. What do you think of my reasoning, little brother?"

Liu Quanzhen turned his gaze to Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye paused for a few seconds, then slowly said, "What you say does have some merit."

Yuan Mu Ye knew that his strength wasn't great; in fact, it was rather weak.

With so many evil ghosts, it would be virtually impossible for him to kill them all with his current abilities.

Tonight's incident was a painful example of that.

Seventy or eighty people, and a Level Three evil ghost had killed thirty or forty of them.

The situation was dire...

He nodded, signaling Liu Quanzhen to continue.

Liu Quanzhen looked at Yuan Mu Ye, waited a moment, and then continued, "In that case, little brother, we could become friends. We could join hands and advance together on the road to fighting evil ghosts."

He extended his hand, and Yuan Mu Ye shook it.

"I wonder if you would tell me your name now, little brother?"

"I'm called Yuan Mu Ye."

He said casually.

Hearing this, Liu Quanzhen said, "Little brother, that's a great name! How about this, why don't you join our company?"

"Company?"

Yuan Mu Ye paused for a few seconds.

He heard the familiar yet somewhat alien term.

He never expected that a company would still exist in such an absurd world.

"That's right, our company! Our company's main business is the beverage industry. With the current turbulent situation, we need talent, now more than ever. Little Brother Yuan, I see you as a talented individual, which is why I cherish you so much," Liu Quanzhen said casually, while observing Yuan Mu Ye's reaction.

Yuan Mu Ye was inwardly pondering. He wasn't interested in joining any company.

But if he continued to stay in Fire City, protecting these people would be a strain.

After some thought, Yuan Mu Ye said, "It's not impossible for me to join your company, but I have a condition."

"Whatever the condition is, just say it," Liu Quanzhen said with a relaxed expression.

Over the years, in order to scout talent for the company, he had encountered all sorts of requests and conditions.

But since the person was talented, it was normal for them to make some demands.

"I have some family members who need the company's help with care and resettlement. Is that possible?"

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Liu Quanzhen.

Liu Quanzhen smiled and said, "I thought it would be something difficult! Just a few family members? That's a trivial matter. Don't worry, the company will arrange everything properly for you."

"More than a few," Yuan Mu Ye said.

A suspicious look appeared on Liu Quanzhen's face. He asked, "How many, then?"

"Not many, just three or four dozen."

As soon as Yuan Mu Ye said this, another voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "Negative emotional value from Liu Quanzhen +99..."

Liu Quanzhen opened his mouth, preparing to speak, but his mouth felt dry, and he didn't know what to say.

"Brother Liu, will this work out?" Yuan Mu Ye pressed.

"Wait a moment, let me ask for instructions."

Liu Quanzhen pulled Zhao Tian to the side, obviously to discuss the matter.

Yuan Mu Ye wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly.

If they were willing to take in these people, that would be the best thing.

If they weren't, Yuan Mu Ye would have to find another way.

After about two or three minutes, the two turned back and said to Yuan Mu Ye, "Okay, I agree to your condition, but you have to sign a three-year contract with us. How about it?"

A three-year contract?

Yuan Mu Ye thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"Okay."

"Then, will you take me to see your family members?" Liu Quanzhen said.

Yuan Mu Ye agreed and led the two men towards where Li Pangpang was.

When they arrived, Liu Quanzhen and Zhao Tian were stunned when they saw thirty or forty elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people.

They had imagined many possible outcomes, but not this one.

Taking these people away would essentially be taking on a huge burden.

But now that they had agreed, there was no going back.

"Negative emotions from Liu Quanzhen +99..."

Li Pangpang saw the two strangers who had suddenly appeared and was curious. He pulled Yuan Mu Ye aside.

He asked, "Lao Yuan, who are they?"

"They're from a company. I've already agreed with them that we'll sign a three-year contract with the company, and the company will take all these people in. Then they'll be safe. What do you think?"

Yuan Mu Ye briefly explained the situation.

Li Pangpang had no objections to what Yuan Mu Ye said.

In the current situation, with their strength, it was still not enough to take care of this group of people.

Being able to find a backer in this chaotic world was probably the best outcome.

After all, people who could still run a company in this era probably had some strength.

"Lao Yuan, you made the right decision."

Li Pangpang supported Yuan Mu Ye's decision.

Liu Quanzhen looked at the group of people and walked over to Yuan Mu Ye. "I've really been tricked by you this time, kid! But our company has always valued integrity. Now that we've agreed, we'll never go back on our word. Our branch is now in Yun City. The company will send a car tomorrow to pick up all these people. You'll come with me to report to the company then."

Liu Quanzhen glanced at Li Pangpang.

Li Pangpang, ever the "hero," immediately said, "Thank you for your appreciation, boss."

"I'm not the boss, I'm just a small manager in the company."
