Chapter 51

"The first matter concerns the expansion of the library, which is supported by funding from above. On one hand, it is to compensate for the previous losses of our library, and on the other hand, to enhance the influence of the Jianghai City Library."

Ye Xiao, standing in the crowd, fell into deep thought.

A library is the foundation of a city. A city can do without a martial arts academy, but it cannot do without a library.

A martial arts academy is only for selecting and training more powerful students, with specialized martial arts experts conducting systematic training to send them to the front lines.

The library, however, can serve both students from the martial arts academy and ordinary people, with the broadest inclusivity, serving as the foundation for the entire population to practice martial arts.

Generally, the scale of a martial arts library is strictly determined based on the size of the city.

If a martial arts library is to be expanded, does it mean that the city itself will also be expanded?

Ye Xiao often reads books on history and geography.

Currently, the distribution of cities in the Nine Provinces is very reasonable, and there is no need to rashly alter a city.

Could it be... due to some pressure, forcing the addition of large cities?

Or perhaps, to gather the population from surrounding small cities to form a large city?

Thinking about it, it has been more than fifty years since the last beast disaster, hasn't it?

Ye Xiao's brows furrowed tightly.

If his hypothesis is true, then the problem is significant.

A beast disaster can produce extremely powerful star beasts, whose strength might even reach the Divine Sect level.

Although he can defeat enemies of higher ranks, he is not yet sure of his own limits.

What if he can't defeat a Divine Sect level enemy?

Then he's done for.

If that's the case, reading for just an extra hour a day might not be enough.

It seems he needs to add another half hour.

"Manager Ye, Manager Ye."

While Ye Xiao was deep in thought, Ning Yuheng beside him stretched out his arm and nudged his elbow, pulling him back to reality.

He looked up and saw everyone staring at him, which made him startle. He then used the Great Profound Heavenly Gang to directly extract the memories of the crowd, understanding the situation.

The library expansion, coupled with the fact that Yang Zhengyi killed a few of the library's elders while stealing the King El map, means the library urgently needs to add management personnel.

Naturally, someone like Ye Xiao would become one of the candidates.

Other managers also have the qualifications.

Now, it was his turn to give a campaign speech.

Ye Xiao cleared his throat and walked up to the stage under everyone's gaze, saying simply:

"Thank you all and the director for your trust. However, I feel that I am still young, and the other senior members are more experienced and better at organizing activities than I am, so I will not embarrass myself."

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then walked back down from the stage, leaving everyone puzzled.

Ouyang Yunzhong looked at Ye Xiao's back with some surprise, seemingly not expecting him to be so casual.

This kid has remarkable character.

It's a pity he hasn't awakened his divine soul; otherwise, he would definitely be quite good in martial arts.

However, the election must continue.

"Cough... That's it for Ye Xiao. The next one is Wang Na."

Wang Na, the heartbreaker, was not as polite as Ye Xiao. She went up and directly thanked the director and everyone, bowing each time, which caused her neckline to drop, revealing two pure white peaks that made countless men's breathing involuntarily pause.

Not looking was hard to resist, but looking was a bit embarrassing.

If Gu Hai were here, he might have whistled long ago.

Ning Yuheng couldn't help but ask quietly:

"Manager Ye, why aren't you running for the position? Wouldn't a promotion and a raise be good? If you get promoted, you'll be a supervisor, right?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"Not interested."

There are only three supervisor positions, but there are eight or nine candidates.

Wang Na, of course, is a given. Probably everyone in the library, except for himself and Ning Yuheng, has been under her spell.

She stands on countless peaks!

Even lying down, she is more popular than others.

There are too many people supporting her; it would be against reason for her not to get the position!

Among the remaining candidates, one is the director's junior, who is guaranteed a position. His speech is just a formality.

In other words, there is actually only one position left.

The internal competition is too intense!

Ye Xiao doesn't want to fight with them for it.

Besides, what's the point of winning?

A little more salary, but more responsibilities, daily meetings, and having to take the lead when problems arise.

To earn a few thousand more, selling your youth to others, only a fool would do that.

Ning Yuheng's face showed a look of admiration.

Truly worthy of the most admired Manager Ye, who is completely unmoved by a promotion and a raise.

Such a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth is rare these days.

With someone like him who doesn't care about fame and fortune and isn't greedy, he will definitely be a good leader.

Decided, I'll vote for him!

...

After Ye Xiao spoke, he continued to daydream, waiting for the meeting to end so he could go back to reading.

But the result was shocking.

The first two predictions were correct: Wang Na and the director's junior.

But the third one was him!

When the result came out, Ye Xiao's face was like this — (•̀⌓•́).

Full of confusion and doubt.

Is there something wrong with these people's brains?

He said it clearly that he doesn't want to be a supervisor, being a manager is enough. Reading books every day and improving himself, isn't that great?

Maybe he should refuse, after all, being a supervisor is too much trouble.

Ye Xiao has always been someone who doesn't like trouble.

Ouyang Yunzhong smiled at Ye Xiao.

"It seems that Xiao Ye is quite popular among everyone. Since that's the case, I think the third supervisor should be you.

Additionally, after this library reform, the salary for supervisors will also be increased, exceeding ten thousand a month.

Starting from this month."

Ye Xiao: "⚆_⚆."

How about... trying it for a few days, and if it really doesn't work out, then refusing.

After all... five thousand is not a few thousand, and it's still a matter of giving some face.

"The meeting is over for today. If anyone has any questions, you can raise them now."

"No!"

Ye Xiao shouted along with everyone, and Ouyang Yunzhong nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. Since that's the case, everyone should head to their respective areas. Workers will be coming to move the books, and you are responsible for directing the placement of the books and conducting a detailed inventory to avoid any mistakes."

"Yes!"
