On the top floor of the Prospect International Building, Xu Que handed two sets of documents to Zhao Xian and Huang Bo, while advising them on several key matters regarding the alternate dimension space.
At this moment, teams capable of successfully navigating C-level and above alternate dimension spaces were nearly nonexistent, so Xu Que knew it was essential for Zhao Xian and the others to publicize the mission before the first outbreak of the alternate dimension space. This would also lay the foundation for future endeavors.
Xu Que did not consider himself a suitable leader, which is why he entrusted the role of chairperson to Shen Mengchu, who possessed strong leadership qualities.
Just as Zhao Xian and his group were preparing to leave, Kun Shao hurriedly asked, "Xu Ge, what should we call our company? Do we need to compete with those rogue teams for access?"
"No need," Xu Que replied, "When you arrive at the dimensional rift, just report to Tianzha Tian Company. They'll receive the appropriate data there."
"Tianzha Tian? Xu Ge, are you sure that's the name of our company?" Kun Shao asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"It may sound a bit juvenile, but it's a name with flair. Besides, it was given by an old friend of mine," Xu Que reminisced.
Kun Shao and the others couldn't hide their surprise. They never imagined the first hunter company in this new world would be called "Tianzha Tian!"
After Zhao Xian and his group left, Shen Mengchu pulled out a stack of documents. "This is the current list of all personnel at the Prospect International Building. If you intend to keep them on, should we reconsider their salaries?"
Xu Que took the list, "These people aren't fit for the battlefield; they'll at most take administrative roles. There are too many of them, and some of the more unusual incidents will be beyond their ability to handle. Let's keep only half of them, and you can manage the handover process."
"Got it, but how should we handle the salaries?" Shen Mengchu asked.
"One spiritual crystal per month," Xu Que mused, then added, "I'll draft a hunter contract for you later. Although each rank will have different pay, it's always based on their contribution."
Shen Mengchu had heard of the value of the spiritual crystal from Xu Que before. If converted into currency, it was worth over a million! For clerical staff, it was an incredibly generous salary.
Even in the eighth year of Tianyuan, this salary would be enough for an average family to live comfortably for three months!
"Alright, I'll gather everyone then."
As Shen Mengchu left to do her work, Xu Que turned his attention to creating the company framework. He knew that once the basic structure was in place, he would have more time, and the workload would ease.
The framework he was using was based on the systems of the Honor and Apocalypse Companies from his past life. Though the Shenyin Company had a solid framework, it was too harsh on its lower ranks, where one had to risk life and limb for promotion. This was something Xu Que would never allow under his command.
On the other hand, the Honor and Apocalypse Companies treated their newcomers well, always sending experienced hunters to lead the way in every new venture. The team would then rate the performance of each member.
While cultivation level was the primary measure of strength in the alternate dimension, personal excellence alone could not forge a powerful team. This was why the Shenyin Company framework could only be considered a super-A-class system.
Time passed swiftly, and by the end of the day, Xu Que and Shen Mengchu had been extremely busy. One was busy establishing the company's framework, and the other was handling public announcements and recruiting.
As various countries' practitioners scrambled to participate in rift challenges, an enormous breaking news segment appeared on the official platform of Z Country.
"Tianyuan Descends: Our Tianzha Tian Company Will Lead the New Era! Let us, the hunter companies, be the ones to close this chapter of the old world!"
When netizens across the world saw this, they were all left stunned, completely confused about what a "hunter company" was. What truly had them laughing was the name of the company itself!
"What's going on in Z Country? Instead of promoting how to deal with dimensional rifts, they're advertising some company? Is this a joke?"
"We're in the era of spiritual energy resurgence, and everyone wants to become stronger. How could a country be focused on creating a company? It's just hard to comprehend."
"Wait, hold on, you guys don't get it. Check out the Tianzha Tian Company's website. The roster is packed with top-tier talents from the celestial rankings!"
"Wow, Z Country is really going for it, poaching talents via company recruitment. Looks like they're not messing around."
Thanks to the viral spread of the news, Xu Que's Tianzha Tian Company quickly gained fame. Over the course of one night, the number of applicants surged from hundreds to thousands, with many even from foreign countries submitting resumes.
At this point, Xu Que paid little attention to these developments. His mind was entirely focused on finalizing the company's framework. Once the company was operational, any flaws would only become more apparent, so he needed to patch up any known issues from his past life to prevent future problems.
As for the recruitment process, Xu Que had already discussed it with Shen Mengchu. The company would only hire a maximum of 300 people, prioritizing character above all. Anyone with a flaw would be immediately blacklisted for life.

In Y Country, at the Chaisfield family estate, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman leisurely scrolled through live streams from various countries.
When she saw the news broadcast from Z Country, a smile appeared on her face. Switching pages on her phone, the Tianzha Tian Company's information immediately caught her eye.
"This Miss Shen is quite extraordinary; she came up with the same idea I had," the woman mused with a smile as she swiped through the phone.
Just as she was about to examine how the company was recruiting talents, an elderly man with graying white hair and dressed as a butler approached her.
"Miss Lacey, your father requests your presence."
"Mm, very well," the woman nodded, shutting her phone. "Let's go."
When Lacey and the butler entered the grand hall of the estate, it was already filled with people.
"Lacey, you're becoming more beautiful every day," a middle-aged man complimented.
"Thank you, Uncle Mandel," Lacey replied with a polite smile, then took a seat at the right side of the conference table.
As more of the Chaisfield family gathered, an elderly, gaunt man slowly emerged from the crowd. He was the head of the Chaisfield family—Meijello.
Meijello took his seat at the head of the table, his gaze sharp like that of a hawk, sweeping over everyone.
"I trust everyone is aware of the news from Z Country. Although we've proposed this model before, we never followed through. I want to know your thoughts on the matter," Meijello asked.
Upon hearing Meijello's words, the room erupted into hushed whispers, with all eyes turning to Lacey. Everyone knew she was the one who had first suggested creating a company like this.
"Grandfather, I think we should hear Lacey's plans on this," said a tall, slender young man.
"Indeed, that's what we all think," a middle-aged man sitting across from Lacey agreed.
Meijello nodded slightly and looked toward Lacey.
Lacey addressed the group, "Thank you all for your support. I've already thought out the operational model for this company. The Tianzha Tian Company from Z Country serves as an excellent example, so we can simply replicate it. The only difference is that we'll need to adapt the framework ourselves."
"Lacey, just tell us what to do," the tall young man said.
Lacey glanced at Myer and proceeded to lay out her vision for the company.
In truth, Lacey's approach was almost identical to the Shenyin Company, and the Shenyin Company's framework had been inspired by Lacey's legendary company in her past life.
