Hou Wenjie then looked at Shin Kanade and asked with a smile:
"What do you think I should do with you?"
Shinichi Kanna trembled and knelt down with a thud, "I'll leave it to the president to decide!"
Hou Wenjie nodded, looked at Kitagawa Kokenji, and said:
There is an old saying in our country: "Without rules, there can be no order."
I had overlooked this before, assuming that the rules and regulations of the island gang were all tacitly agreed upon, and that as a gang member determined to grow and expand, one should understand what is right and wrong, since we have role models to follow.
So now it seems that this set of established gang rules was just something I had assumed.
This was my personal oversight.
So, today I'm going to establish the rules of the Magic Bean Society right here.
"Little Sword Two, write down what I'm about to say and make sure you convey it to everyone verbatim!"
"Yes, President!" Kitagawa Kokenji bowed and replied, then went to the table, picked up a pen, spread out paper, and prepared to take notes.
Hou Wenjie slowly began to speak:
"1. No one may bully ordinary women, children, or the elderly on the island without cause. Violators will be punished with broken legs or expulsion from the association."
2. Members must not disclose information about the organization to outsiders; violators will be punished with severe punishment, including having a finger cut off.
3. Internal strife is strictly prohibited within the club; violators will be punished with severe hand injuries.
4. No one is allowed to engage in any robbery in private; violators will be punished with the loss of a hand.
5. It is forbidden to embezzle club property or disobey club orders; violators will be punished with the loss of a finger.
6. Once you join a club, you are not allowed to leave the club easily. Violators will be punished, with the least penalty being a broken leg!
Regarding these six club rules, I hope that no member of the Magic Bean Club will easily break them!
Then, Hou Wenjie looked at Kanna Shin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said:
“I’ve made these rules a bit late, and it would definitely be inappropriate to expel you.”
So, I'll break one of your legs now, but I'll still give you one chance. Within three days, you find a suitable actress to star in this youth film, and you'll retain your current position.
What do you think? Look up and speak!
Kanna Shin then dared to raise his head, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction: "This subordinate knows his mistake and will accept the president's punishment, but will do his best to fulfill the president's instructions!"
"Okay! Go down and go to Mr. Takemoto to receive your punishment!" Hou Wenjie said.
"Yes!" Kanna Shin stood up and left, bowing all the way.
"Everyone else, go out. Xiao Jian Er, you stay," Hou Wenjie said.
After everyone had left, Hou Wenjie said, "I've always valued fairness and am willing to give people a chance. Tell me, what other good preventative measures do you have for this oversight?"
"Well said. I'll remember this punishment for now. If you say something wrong, you'll end up like Takemoto Atsushi—cutting off a finger!"
Kitagawa Kenji looked serious, as if deep in thought.
Hou Wenjie wasn't in a hurry; he pulled out a chair and sat down.
After a while, Kitagawa Kokenji spoke up: "Currently, our Magic Bean Club is divided into two groups: one is the original Kitagawa group members, and the other is the original Takemoto group members."
I think it's necessary to shuffle the group members and regroup them.
Moreover, whether it was the original Kitagawa Group or the Takemoto Group, the group leader and his subordinates almost controlled all the power within the group, which I think is very inappropriate!
If the Magic Bean Society wants to grow big, it must achieve centralized control; the power of team leaders and bosses must be divided!
Hou Wenjie looked at Kitagawa Kokenji expressionlessly and said, "Why didn't you implement these things when I asked you to integrate Takemoto-sha before? Why are you bringing them up with me now?"
Kitagawa Kokenji knew his little tricks wouldn't fool Hou Wenjie, so he told the truth:
"Because the president once told me that people only know how to change after experiencing humiliation and setbacks!"
If I had proposed the division before, even if the Takemoto Group cooperated with me on the surface, I would have encountered invisible resistance behind the scenes!
Now that they've made a mistake, they must bear the president's wrath and accept this change.
Hou Wenjie stared at Kitagawa Kokenji until Kitagawa Kokenji's heart pounded and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, before he finally smiled:
"You did a good job assessing the situation! So, Kanna Shin has already switched sides to you?"
Kitagawa Kokenji solemnly said, "He just made the right choice. As a member of the club, losing a leg is not a big deal. However, he can use a broken leg to enter the core of the Magic Bean Club. For him, it is not a loss at all."
Hou Wenjie nodded: "Then tell me your plan after careful consideration over the past two days?"
Kitagawa Kokenji said:
First, we need to establish a discipline team and an enforcement team. The discipline team will specifically patrol the association to investigate members who violate the association rules. After verification, they will report to our executive department, which will then review the case. Once confirmed, the members who violate the rules will be strictly dealt with by the enforcement team in accordance with the association rules.
Second, a professional finance team was established to specifically approve the operation of various funds within the organization.
Third, a personnel review group will be established, with the group leader having only the right to make recommendations and no longer having the right to directly appoint personnel.
Fourth, establish a public relations team. The public relations team will be responsible for two things: one is to lobby the power elite and major social groups to support us, and the other is to guide public opinion on the island so that they do not hate us.
Fifth, establish a legal team to handle various legal disputes involving the organization.
Sixth, establish a special operations team, selecting elite personnel returning from the Bagan battlefield to be responsible for the organization's key missions!
Hou Wenjie stood up upon hearing this, walked over to him, smiled, and said:
"I'm very satisfied with your current rate of growth. So, you'll take charge of this matter, with Hui Gu Qian Yue and Takemoto Wen Shu assisting you in completing it!"
"Yes, President," Kitagawa Kokenji replied firmly.
"Okay!" Hou Wenjie nodded, took a step out of the room, and walked towards his office here.
He rarely came to the office he had arranged for himself, but the office was still fully furnished.
The office door was not closed. Chanel stood with her legs together and her bag on her lap.
She didn't drink the black tea on the table; it was clear she was still a little nervous.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Xiang Nai stood up nervously. When she saw that it was Hou Wenjie, her eyes lit up, and she called out hopefully, "Wenjie-kun?"
Hou Wenjie sent Pu Shangzhi to wait in the car, then walked up to Xiang Nai and said sincerely, "I want to apologize to you for what happened today."
"Hmm?" Xiang Nai looked at Hou Wenjie with a puzzled expression and asked, "Wenjie-kun and them..."
Hou Wenjie nodded and said:
"As you know, business is slow in bookstores right now, so I want to move online. I've started a Magic Bean Community, which should be online tomorrow."
This community primarily features books about youth, but it will also include youth films that our company will be shooting soon.
In my vision, this is a pan-entertainment project with a promising future.
So, my initial idea was to go the big company route and recruit either good actresses for youth films or newcomers with good looks and temperament—either approach would work.
I never expected my men to act so recklessly, causing you such a fright, Kana!
As he spoke, Hou Wenjie looked at Xiang Nai with an apologetic expression.
Chanel quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Wenjie, I'm fine now!"
Hou Wenjie shook his head and said:
"Shana, no one can hurt someone and still be safe and sound!"
I'm a fair person, and I've already broken this person's leg!
Of course, this is the punishment he received for the mistakes he made.
But the primary fault lies with me, so I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight as an apology, is that alright?
Looking into Hou Wenjie's bright eyes, Xiang Nai felt a tingling sensation on her face, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
She felt her face must be a little red now. After calming herself down a bit, she responded softly, "Mmm!"
