Chapter 814: Chapter 688: Worthy of the Title "Nine Thousand Years

Even if it means finding someone to sign on my behalf?!!

Although letting someone sign on his behalf implies a partial delegation of power and might set the stage for potential disenfranchisement, at least it proves that his "name" still holds validity. He remains the legal person in charge, which is better than having someone else’s name directly signed by those above.

That would be a complete ouster!

Qian Huan quickly weighed the pros and cons.

He met his mother Li Hanyu’s meaningful gaze and recalled her advice, then, with a stroke of inspiration, he said to Feng Mu in a tone of utmost trust and entrustment:

"Feng Mu! You! You come and help me sign this!"

It was Feng Mu’s turn to be momentarily stunned; he appropriately displayed surprise on his face: "Prison Director Qian, this... me?"

Qian Huan tried to make his expression appear more sincere and reliant, and said in a deep voice:

"Look at me right now, except for having you sign on my behalf, what other solution do we have?

Throughout the entire Second Prison, you are the person I trust the most. If you don’t help me sign this, who else can I rely on?"

Feng Mu had come for this very purpose. He had essentially established himself as the de facto controller of the Second Prison. He wasn’t in a hurry for official status in the short term; he did indeed need Qian Huan as a "facade" to alleviate pressure from all sides.

But Qian Huan’s signing authority, he must obtain it, and it must be handed over to him by Qian Huan consciously and willingly.

The meaning is entirely different here.

He appropriately displayed struggle and hesitation on his face, but it didn’t last long; indecisiveness and hesitancy were not in Feng Mu’s character.

In the end, he seemed to have made a firm decision, nodding heavily, his gaze becoming extremely resolute:

"Hmm, I understand. Whatever Prison Director Qian instructs, I will do!"

The more open and straightforward he behaved, the more it demonstrated his lack of ulterior motives.

Seeing this, Li Hanyu immediately handed over a pen from the side, her tone gentle yet undeniable:

"Feng Mu, you don’t need to have any worries. You are the person our mother and son trust the most in this world. We trust you to sign this on our behalf.

With Qian Huan unable to act, you need to help him, to firmly hold onto the Second Prison, and absolutely not let those wolves outside snatch it away!"

Feng Mu received the heavy pen with both hands, feeling as if he was handed some invisible authority.

He nodded heavily, then bent down, and stroke by stroke, signed "Qian Huan" in the "Responsible Party Signature" section of the document.

After signing, he lifted his head, looking earnestly at Qian Huan and Li Hanyu, and vowed:

"Prison Director Qian, Madam, rest assured.

As long as I, Feng Mu, am in the Second Prison, I will never let someone take it from Prison Director Qian unless they step over my dead body!"

The atmosphere was somewhat heroic and touching.

Feng Mu carefully tucked away the document, seemingly remembering something, and said to Qian Huan:

"Oh, right, Prison Director Qian, there’s something else I need your guidance on.

Tian Xiaohai has been eager to work at the Second Prison, to carry on his father’s legacy. I’ve reviewed his credentials; he’s indeed a promising talent. What do you think, can I recruit him?"

Qian Huan didn’t recall who Tian Xiaohai was at first, until Feng Mu mentioned Tian Tao, his pupils slightly contracted, and he looked at Feng Mu with a somewhat peculiar gaze.

Others don’t know how Tian Tao died, but he has a very serious suspect in mind.

You’re adopting a thief as your son!

Qian Huan silently ridiculed in his heart, not bothering to dwell on it, he said lightly:

"Such a trivial matter, you can decide on your own. No need to consult me on everything."

Li Hanyu chimed in from the side, she had a clearer understanding than her son and was more willing to delegate power, further consolidating and rewarding Feng Mu’s "loyalty":

"Qian Huan is right; in the future, for such small matters, you can make the decisions entirely yourself. Just draft a document, go through the procedure, and sign on the record."

Then, Li Hanyu added:

"Oh, I almost forgot. Your little senior sister, Hong Ya, right?

Before, she even pleaded with me at the hospital, saying she wanted to join the Second Prison too. I found her quite clever, if you think there’s no issue, feel free to recruit her as well."

She smiled broadly and glanced at Feng Mu,

"Rest assured, for any document you sign on behalf, as long as it’s submitted to the company, I won’t have anyone reject it. It’s merely formalities and record-keeping."

Feng Mu naturally understood the hints and guidance in Li Hanyu’s words, but his face continued to feign a grateful demeanor, bowing and saying:

"Thank you, Madam, thank you for the trust, Prison Director Qian.

Returning, I’ll proceed with the necessary formalities to bring Tian Xiaohai and Hong Ya into the Second Prison."

Li Hanyu smiled with satisfaction, then her expression suddenly turned somewhat stern, her tone becoming serious:

"There’s also a matter of importance to inform you, about advancing the Octagonal Cage Beast Fighting Plan, we must speed it up.

The idea from Qian Huan and me is that the specific management and execution within the Second Prison will be entrusted to you going forward.

However, for external communication and coordination, resource connections, especially collaboration with the Bright Group, it will still be primarily handled by Wang Cong."

She paused for a moment, observing Feng Mu’s reaction, and continued explaining:

"After all, Wang Cong has a closer relationship with President Lu from the Bright Group, they have a good personal rapport. Having him push forward many things is more convenient for us and encounters less resistance..."
