They were even extremely happy about it.
Yu Weilan, along with Grandpa Yu and Madam Yu, were able to clear obstacles for her in advance and conduct rigorous screening and filtering, which not only saved her a lot of trouble but also left her with a batch of capable management talents.
However, the loyalty spell still needs to be cast, just to avoid trouble later.
Jin Shangyue didn't rush to make any arrangements; she simply looked at everyone and asked.
"Do you have anything to report to me, or anything that requires my approval?"
Everyone was taken aback, clearly not expecting Jin Shangyue to take the initiative to ask them questions as soon as she arrived.
I thought it would follow the normal meeting procedure, starting with having them introduce themselves, followed by a mobilization meeting with threats and inducements, to give them a warning, and then paint a rosy picture for them...
The surprise was fleeting; those sitting here at this moment were all the top officials of their respective cities.
No one involved in politics is a fool.
Who isn't someone who doesn't show their emotions, always smiling, calm and patient?
So soon someone took the lead and started the conversation, following Jinshangyue's question.
The first to speak was naturally Cheng Wen, the governor of Jinzhou, who held the highest official rank present, second only to Jin Shangyue.
"Master, the Seven Yang Sect of the Central Alliance recently plans to hold a recruitment event in our Jinzhou to recruit a batch of new disciples."
“This event is held once every ten years, so when the Seven Yang Sect came to discuss this matter three months ago, I agreed.”
"The recruitment will take place in exactly three days."
This matter really has little to do with the development of Jinzhou, so it was not mentioned in any of the materials about Jinzhou that were handed over and reported before.
Furthermore, every ten years, the major sects and guilds of the Central Alliance hold a grand recruitment drive around the world to inject new blood into their sects and guilds.
Joining a sect or guild within the Central Alliance is the goal of the vast majority of cultivators.
Because the Central Alliance is an alliance of the world's top sects and guilds.
Organizations like the Divine Heaven Sect and the Yin-Yang Guild are among the forces within the Central Alliance.
The China-ASEAN alliance maintains friendly relations with top powers in various countries, fostering a spirit of international friendship.
It does not favor any country, nor does it participate in the disputes between countries, and always maintains a neutral attitude.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shangyue became somewhat interested, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She happened to be short-staffed, and since the opportunity had come knocking on her door, it would be a shame not to seize it.
"I'll go to the site in three days. If you run into me then, just pretend you don't know me."
After all, it's best to keep a low profile when poaching talent from others.
Everyone assumed that Jin Shangyue was going on a 'private visit' and never expected that she was actually plotting to poach someone's boyfriend.
Next to speak was Li Shaoxiao, the top leader of the Third City.
"Master, my men discovered last night that Tantai Yunji, the third young master of the Tantai family, has secretly arrived in the Third City with a group of people."
"Before dawn this morning, their shadow guards went to scout the way at Changhun Ridge. It seems they intend to enter Changhun Ridge."
"Long Soul Ridge is located in a desolate abyss, where all kinds of ferocious beasts, strange beasts, ghosts, and demons gather. It is one of the twenty most dangerous ridges in the world, and those who enter it almost always die."
"I am worried that if something happens to a direct descendant of the Tantai family in territory close to ours, it could cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Although Changhun Ridge is in the Desolate Abyss, the Third City of Jinzhou is one of the cities closest to Changhun Ridge, and the Tantai family still chose to settle in the Third City.
If something really goes wrong, and someone is unreasonable, they might actually take their anger out on Jinzhou's master.
Jin Shangyue calmly asked, "So what do you think?"
Li Shaoxiao couldn't help but glance at Jin Shangyue; this master was quite something.
Indeed, problem-solving is something that subordinates should do.
If everything is left to the master to figure out, then what's the point of having a group of subordinates?
As a subordinate, isn't your job to fight for your master, solve their problems, and get everything done well?
Li Shaoxiao pondered for a moment, somewhat unsure whether his master was testing his abilities or whether he was simply incapable of solving the problem.
However, he prefers the former.
Although this master was young, his presence still stood out among the group of older men.
They completely crushed those in positions of power who had been entrenched in their positions for years.
Such a person can make you unconsciously submit at just one glance.
"I think we can send someone to offer our condolences, at least to show proper courtesy and etiquette so that no one can find fault with us."
"As for other matters, we should remain on the sidelines and not get involved easily. If necessary, we should inform the Tantai family and do our utmost."
Jin Shangyue nodded slightly: "Then let's do it your way. You handle and follow up on this matter, and pay close attention to the follow-up."
"As for the rest, we don't need to get involved. We won't scheme against them. But if they want us to lend a helping hand, the reward can't be small."
Li Shaoxiao understood; it seemed that his master wanted to treat the Tantai family as lambs to the slaughter.
A glint flashed in Li Shaoxiao's eyes, and he smiled knowingly, "I understand, and I will follow up on this matter."
Then the others also inquired about and reported some things.
Jin Shangyue usually lets them come up with their own ideas first, and then makes the final decision.
After finishing her business with the relevant personnel, Jin Shangyue introduced two people to everyone on the spot.
They filled the vacant city lord positions in two of the cities.
That's right. After Yu Weilan and his two companions purged the high-ranking officials of the nineteen cities of Jinzhou, two of them were transferred out of Jinzhou.
With their positions vacant, the Yu family specifically reserved them for Jin Shangyue, the new owner, and decided on the replacement personnel themselves.
