Chapter 681 -196: Rewarding Subordinates, Willing to Die for the Gang Leader (10,000 Words for Subscription)_6

The surrounding people had no objections, and then under the lead of Chen Xiaohu, they burst into applause.

Clapping was a small habit initiated by Chen Jie, who enjoyed clapping when he felt happy, when there was something worth celebrating, or when he wanted to encourage others.

Xiao Hu and others, following suit, had also learned to do the same.

At this moment, Zhou Chu said excitedly, “Gang Leader, I, I promise to do well as the Outer Hall’s Hall Master. Thank you, Gang Leader, for nurturing me.”

Zhou Chu was indeed thrilled. Although he knew he was destined to be one of the top figures in the New Fishing Guild, being promoted to Hall Master represented a giant leap forward. From now on, he would no longer be just a husband but a respected member of the household!

He always remembered how he and Chen Jiusi used to look up to figures like Peng Shizhong and Gu Qingfeng, who sat high above on stages and were revered by many.

To think that in just over a year, he had become a figure at the Hall Master level like his adoptive father, and Chen Jiusi had become the Fishing Guild Leader. If someone had told him a year ago that he would become a Hall Master like them, he would have never believed it.

But now, all the dreams had become reality.

It truly felt like a dream. Chen Jie said, “Well, Old Zhou, you better look after it, I’m entrusting the original Fishing Guild Headquarters to you as the location for your Outer Hall.”

“Thank you, Gang Leader.”

Chen Jie nodded, and then turned to Si Xi, saying, “Next, I announce that the Inner Hall, the Inner Hall Master will be responsible for the internal affairs such as the allocation of resources, intelligence, commercial management, and so on, with a total of five hundred official disciples. Si Xi will serve as the Hall Master.”

Si Xi was stunned, then appeared somewhat incredulous. After all, he was a turncoat, who had been working with Feng Xuan before.

But now Chen Jie dared to entrust him with the important role of managing the Inner Hall and five hundred people, granting him the status of a Hall Master. This was trust.

And he wasn’t even a direct descendant of the Gang Leader!

Chen Jie looked at Si Xi and said, “Si Xi…”

Beside him, Xiao Hu gave Si Xi a nudge, prompting him to respond, “Gang Leader.”

He immediately got up to salute, and Chen Jie laughed, “Why aren’t you accepting the position of Inner Hall Master?”

Hearing this, Zhou Chu, who had just sat down, said, “Haha, Si Xi must be overwhelmed with joy.”

“Haha…”

This drew a friendly laughter from everyone present.

Si Xi then said somewhat nervously, “Gang Leader, I… before…”

Chen Jie gave Si Xi a look and said, “Let’s not talk about the past. I am entrusting the Inner Hall to you because I believe in your abilities and character. As for previous matters, let’s turn a new page. Now, everyone, let’s give Si Xi some encouragement.”

Hearing this, Xiao Hu led the applause.

Clap, clap, clap…

Everyone clapped, and watching the crowd’s attitude towards him, Si Xi was moved to tears.

He sobbed, “Gang Leader, I…”

Chen Jie said, “You don’t need to say anything else right now. Just say, ‘Yes, Gang Leader, Si Xi accepts the order!'”

Si Xi wiped away his tears and said, “Yes, Gang Leader, your subordinate accepts the order!”

Chen Jie then smiled, “Good. With the Inner and Outer Halls settled, let’s talk about the arrangements for White Tiger Camp.”

“White Tiger Camp will expand to five hundred people, with the camp leader being Chen Xiaohu, assisted by Chen Wang!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohu immediately stood up, and so did Chen Gou from the former Twelve Guards.

However, Chen Gou’s name no longer seemed appealing to Chen Jie. Unattractive as it was, he was hence renamed Chen Wang.

Now the two stood up. Xiao Hu nodded to the crowd while Chen Wang clasped his fists, saying, “I look forward to everyone’s support in the future!”

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, Chen Wang was thrilled. Who could have imagined such an opportunity for him? He once stood against Ma Liu and the Gang Leader, but the Gang Leader, bearing no grudges, was now relying on him. Thinking back, he felt utterly foolish.

After saluting everyone, he turned and bowed deeply to Chen Jie, a gesture of sincere gratitude.

Seeing Chen Wang act this way, Chen Jie said, “Now, everyone, let’s show some encouragement with a round of applause.”

Clap, clap, clap…

Chen Wang sat down.

“Next, let’s talk about the reserve team. The reserve team, consisting of one thousand five hundred people, is the formal supplement to our White Tiger Hall’s disciples. Whether White Tiger Hall expands or not, we need to have reserves, but the reserve members can’t be a mixed bag – they must be well-managed. Therefore, the position of reserve team leader is created, ranking just below a Hall Master, considered a deputy level, and Chen Heng will serve as the team leader.”

Chen Heng was Chen Zhu.

While the name Chen Zhu was suitable during his time as one of the Twelve Guards, it was unsuitable now that he was taking on important responsibilities. Thus, Chen Jie renamed him Chen Heng!

Chen Heng rose and clasped his fists, saying, “Please look out for me in the future.”

Clap, clap, clap…

A round of applause followed, and then Chen Jie said, “Additionally, our Fishing Guild has seven fishery branches, forming a fishery section, run by Wu Zhong as the Manager, who will report directly to me and enjoy the treatment of a Hall Master.”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Wu Zhong, who sat among the crowd.

As a Fishery Manager, Wu Zhong did not have the right to attend meetings, but as Uncle Zhong to Chen Jie, he was arranged to be present.

Chen Jie stood up and said, “Uncle Zhong, congratulations.”

Wu Zhong looked at Chen Jie and said, “Jiu Si, no, Gang Leader, I’m afraid I might not be up to the task.”

Chen Jie replied, “Uncle Zhong, you’ve been Fishery Manager for so many years. You can surely handle this. Uncle, just help me out.”

Wu Zhong said, “Alright then. If I can’t do well, Gang Leader, you must remove me and not let me delay important matters.”

Chen Jie laughed, “Don’t worry, Uncle Zhong.”

After this exchange, Chen Jie led the applause, and having finished, he continued, “Next, we need to discuss the establishment of inner guild positions such as the Medical Hall, Craft Workshop, Commerce Department, and Academy.”

“Now, let me announce: Medical Hall will be led by Mr. Liu.”

At this point, everyone saw Liu Yishou, the number one physician of Mianshui, stand up and gesture to the crowd, prompting immediate applause.

With the fall of the old Fishing Guild, Chen Jie personally invited Liu Yishou out of seclusion. Initially, he was unwilling, with his medical skills, he was not short of options. But after Bai Wenjing had a discussion with him, Liu Yishou agreed to take charge of the Medical Hall.

Then there’s the craft workshop manager: Tao Guangyi.

Tao Guangyi is one of Chen Jie’s treasures. This person might be the first Wan Hu in history to study flying – a renowned figure in history. His abilities were beyond question. To be sealed as a Wan Hu by Zhu Yuanzhang was proof enough of his extraordinariness.

So, he took the position of managing the craft workshop.

Then there was the academy, whose dean would be Su Yunjin.

The only position left to fill was the Commerce Department; Chen Jie was still looking for a suitable candidate.

The grand meeting concluded, and with that, the framework of the Fishing Guild was thoroughly established. At this point, the Fishing Guild could be described as flourishing with talent and vigor.

With these individuals as the foundation, the inauguration ceremony due the next day would be secured. From then on, they would only need to wait for Nan Batian’s arrival…
