Chapter 295 Confidentiality Agreement

"alright!"

In the main hall of Tiangong Island, Zheng Fa waved his hand and handed a long document in front of him to Senior Sister Zhang.

Senior Sister Zhang picked up the document and read it from beginning to end. Then she raised her head and looked at Zheng Fa in silence.

Uncle Pang beside him also tilted his neck to look over. He looked for a long time, and seemed to be getting more and more confused. He couldn't help but read out in a low voice:

"Golden Elixir Project Confidentiality Agreement"

"Article 1 (Definition)"

“The term ‘confidential information’ as used in this Agreement refers to any information provided by Jiushan Sect (hereinafter referred to as Party A) to __ (hereinafter referred to as Party B) in oral, written or other forms, including but not limited to project data, experimental processes, unpublished research results, etc…”

…

“Article 5 (Liability for Breach of Contract)”

"If Party B violates the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement, he will voluntarily bear the calamity of his inner demons..."

…

“Article 6 (Performance of the Agreement):

First, the validity and performance of this agreement will be guaranteed by the Heart Demon Oath, which is as follows:..."

…

The text was a bit confusing, and Uncle Pang took a long time to understand it: "So... you are going to use the Heart Demon Oath to ensure that the results of the Golden Elixir Project will not be leaked?"

"Yes, Bufan, please take a look at the problems in this agreement, especially the Heart Demon Oath."

Zheng Fa turned around and consulted a professional, Lin Bufan, the former abandoned disciple of the Great Freedom Demon Sect - his main idea was to make the best use of people and things.

Lin Bufan: ...This is a big problem. Is this how the Great Oath to the Inner Demon is used?

He thought about it, but still said hesitantly: "The inner demon is also quite mysterious in the Great Freedom Demon Sect. It seems to be different from the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor. No matter what kind of skills you practice, you will encounter the inner demon. Once you make a great oath to the inner demon, it is difficult to violate the content of the oath. And the great oath to the inner demon in this agreement... seems to have no loopholes."

Of course it’s hard to make mistakes…

Do you understand what an impeccable labor agreement is? Lin Bufan was silent for a moment, then said, "In the past, no one has ever used the Heart Demon Oath like this..."

When Senior Sister Zhang heard this, her expression became even more strange, probably because she remembered her own inner demons.

This inner demon is almost destroyed by my junior fellow apprentice!

"Does everyone have to sign this agreement?"

Uncle Pang asked with a frown.

"That's what I planned." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "Haven't we already classified the various inheritances?"

"For example, for highly classified knowledge like the Golden Elixir Project, this kind of agreement is unavoidable."

"There is another situation... if the time is right in the future and a disciple wants to travel outside the Nine Mountains Realm, then this kind of agreement will be even more necessary."

Senior Sister Zhang frowned: "In fact, our sect has its own way of keeping secrets."

The sects in the Xuanwei Realm are not stupid either. Each larger inheritance has its own method of keeping secrets.

The low-end method is to hide the key information, not put it into words, and pass it on orally from master to disciple.

Even more advanced ones, such as the original inheritance of the Jiushan Sect, come with various cryptic codes and even methods similar to the Great Oath of the Heart Demon.

The most advanced ones are like the Great Freedom Demon Sect. The technique that Lin Bufan practices tells you clearly that you dare not practice it!

In fact, given the personalities of the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, most people would consciously keep secrets - or in other words, treasure what they have.

"Sister, I'm afraid our research is different from the practice... We are studying the process and principles..." Zheng Fa explained, "This kind of thing is sometimes just a kind of thinking, which is very different from the practice, and even has nothing to do with spiritual power. The previous confidentiality methods were not detailed enough."

In the final analysis, it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes.

"On the other hand, this rigorous protocol is sometimes not about stopping, but about encouraging."

"Um?"

Senior Sister Zhang was stunned, and Senior Uncle Pang and the other two also looked over.

"The more clear and detailed our regulations are, the more people will know what can be communicated..." Zheng Fa explained, "Clear boundaries are actually much better than unclear ones."

"If the punishment is unknown, the power is unpredictable..."

After all, he was the one who was in charge of the Law Enforcement Pavilion, so Uncle Pang understood it as soon as he heard it.

"Yes, this is also where I hope Uncle Pang can help Uncle Huang. The current regulations of the Law Enforcement Pavilion are too rough... Uncle Pang, you have been in charge of the Law Enforcement Pavilion for many years and have rich experience."

Zheng Fa was also helpless about this. After all, he was not a professional, and there was no reference for the Nine Mountains Realm even in modern times. He could only take things one step at a time.

Uncle Pang also nodded and sighed again: "These methods... I don't know where you came up with them from."

Zheng Fa always does what he wants, but inexplicably, he always has some logic in his ideas, and some of them have even produced miraculous effects.

Instead, Senior Sister Zhang started laughing, as if she was not surprised at all.

"Zhang, nephew? What are you laughing at?"

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at Zheng Fa, and seeing that he was also looking at her, she explained, "Junior Brother Zheng's methods are just superficial."

"Um?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"All his ideas actually revolve around one point..."

Zheng Fa also looked at Senior Sister Zhang curiously.

"Whether it's these agreements or the previous educational methods, everything is to encourage and maintain the research and development of the Nine Mountains Realm..."

Uncle Pang frowned slightly and nodded slowly.

Zheng Fa couldn't help but sigh in his heart - perhaps Senior Sister Zhang is indeed the person who can understand him best in the Xuanwei Realm.

Based on his childhood experiences, he knew that he was not a simple person, and in fact, he was unwilling to believe in human nature - he knew that behind the scenes, the Nine Mountains disciples might even think that he was too generous and have some complaints.

But he is not like that.

To some extent, he just wants to create a system that encourages those who are willing to contribute and those who are good at research to get more positive returns.

After all, he actually believes more in changing social customs through the distribution of benefits.

…

"Qingyan, have you read this confidentiality agreement?" Mu Qingyan listened to her senior sister's question and looked down at the agreement in her hand.

Some of them are tongue-twisting and trivial, but they are almost simple to read and there is no ambiguity.

The agreement is so long, but what it actually says is very simple, which is not to disclose the research results and methods of the "Golden Elixir Project" at will, but the wording is particularly rigorous.

“It feels so strict…”

As the senior sister read on, she sighed.

"No... it's very loose."

Mu Qingyan suddenly said.

"ah?"

"If there is a leader who is always vague and moody, and a leader who always speaks clearly and never kills without teaching, which one would you prefer?"

"Uh..." Senior Sister blinked and understood.

"And didn't Sect Leader Zheng say that if you don't want to sign, you will just not be able to join the Golden Elixir Project, but there will be no other consequences."

When the senior sister heard this, she nodded slowly, and it seemed that she thought what Mu Qingyan said made sense.

"Qingyan, you are speaking for Master Zheng!"

She suddenly said in surprise.

Mu Qingyan curled her lips but did not refute.

She lowered her head, stopped reading the agreement, and wrote her name on it.
