This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 45 Call me boss from now on
The funeral was unremarkable. It was essentially the same as all other funerals, with only some friends and relatives who were able and willing to come and pay their respects.

Of course, given Liu Shihao's status, the event would definitely be a little special. Although everything was kept simple, many celebrities from the political and business circles, as well as from the black and white worlds, were present. Basically, all the well-known figures who could make it were present.

As the only son, Liu Hongyu stood there in mourning without much expression throughout the whole process. However, it was his father's funeral after all, so it was impossible for him to greet people with a smile.

However, his aura of keeping strangers away still deterred many people from talking to him. As for the details of the reception, they were mostly handled by Liu Lei and others.

The specific burial time will be on the seventh day when the coffin will be transported to the cemetery chosen by Taoist Jingyu during his lifetime.

When Zhuang Lin and Leng Zhiheng walked out of Jingzhou Airport, the simple funeral in Zhonghai City had already ended.

Leng Zhiheng arranged all the food and accommodation as usual, and prepared to take Zhuang Lin back to Yinxian Valley with the "moving team" early the next morning.
-
Because of the funeral notice of Liu Shihao the day before, some major shareholders who were not in Zhonghai gathered together.

After the funeral, Liu Lei initiated a shareholders' meeting in the name of Liu Hongyu, which was scheduled for the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was the morning of the day after tomorrow.

That night, Liu Hongyu was lying in the room of his villa. In this spiritual energy-depleted environment, it was not convenient for him to practice, but he could not fall asleep for a long time.

Since being sent to the mental hospital, Liu Hongyu has not slept on the bed in his room for a long time.

Liu Hongyu had thought a lot in the mental hospital, and even hated his father. He also thought that one day when he became an immortal, he would show himself in front of his father, shatter his self-righteous face, and let him know what regret was.
But now, all that Liu Hongyu had thought of seemed a little ridiculous.

Liu Hongyu thought a lot, recalling every little detail from his childhood to the present, thinking about everything after Hidden Immortal Valley, and thinking about the future path of cultivation. The only thing he didn't think about was the Liu Group. After all, he had already thought about how to arrange this matter before he came back.

After tossing and turning for a while, Liu Hongyu still couldn't sleep at all. However, with his current level of cultivation, not sleeping for a few days would not have much impact.

After a while, Liu Hongyu simply got up from the bed, moved a chair to the balcony outside the room to watch the stars.

The night wind was cool, but Liu Hongyu could not feel any spiritual energy. It was a really uncomfortable feeling. He could even feel that the spiritual power condensed in his body was overflowing through the acupoints and pores all over his body at an extremely slow speed, dispersing into spiritual energy again and being quickly diluted to an almost imperceptible level.

However, the stars and the moon in the sky are shining brightly, and one can faintly feel the power of the stars.

However, Liu Hongyu needs to concentrate all his attention on guiding it in order to absorb a little bit of the starlight and moonlight. But not only is it very strenuous, it is also difficult to determine whether it can make up for the loss he has already made.

Moreover, Liu Hongyu felt that if one did not reach a certain realm, the more spiritual power one had in one's body, the faster it would dissipate. Perhaps people in the Tongqiao realm would feel better than him.

Perhaps if I want to stay in such a world for a long time without regressing in my cultivation, I can at least reach the Star-Moon Realm that my master talked about?
Liu Hongyu deduced the correct answer, but he was not worried about himself. With his current level of cultivation, if he didn't waste too much spiritual power, two or three months would not have much impact.

If it lasts any longer, there is a danger of regressing in your cultivation.

I heard that before the Star-Moon Realm one builds a foundation for the Dao, and after that one reaches the state of unified power between heaven and earth. I don't know what that state is like.
Alas, I have just reached the realm of awakening the spirit and penetrating the meridians, but I am already dreaming of the realm of stars and moons. Don’t be too ambitious!

Liu Hongyu slapped his cheeks with both hands to wake himself up and stop dreaming.

"Dililili."

The phone suddenly rang and then went silent. In the living room, the nanny who had gotten up early picked up the receiver and answered it as soon as it rang, so as not to disturb the young master.

But soon, the nanny had to knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock! Master, Assistant Liu is calling. He said there's something important!"

Liu Hongyu was sitting on the balcony and of course heard the phone call. At this moment, he looked towards the east and realized that he had been sitting there all night.

"Okay, I'll answer it right away!"

After shouting towards the door, Liu Hongyu walked back into the room and picked up the phone.

"what's up?"

As soon as Liu Lei heard Liu Hongyu's voice on the other end of the phone, he hurriedly told him what happened.

"Master, several directors have called a board-level shareholder meeting in advance without notifying us. The meeting is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. at the headquarters building. You'd better get ready!"

After hearing this, Liu Hongyu was not afraid at all. His first reaction was to ask a question.

"Don't they celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Master, it's already this hour, and you still want to joke around?"

Although Liu Lei asked this on the phone, his tone was obviously more relaxed. The fact that he could joke showed that the young master was not nervous at all.

"Okay, no need to rush, but isn't it illegal for them to not inform me?"

Liu Lei was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Theoretically, you haven't inherited your boss's shares yet, so not notifying you isn't a violation. Their reasoning is that they're holding an important meeting to discuss the company's business direction after your boss's passing."

"Well, that's fine. It's early. Nine o'clock is still early. We can go after everyone is gathered."

When Liu Lei heard the young master's relaxed tone and that he was not flustered, he smiled and made a suggestion on the other end of the phone.

"Master, if possible, I hope you can put on a suit today!"

"Well, come pick me up later!"

After saying this, Liu Hongyu hung up the phone, then looked at the robe hanging on the coat rack in the room. After thinking about it, he went to the cloakroom to pick out a suit.

An hour later, Liu Lei arrived at the door of the villa and saw Liu Hongyu standing at the door in a formal suit, and the nanny was adjusting his buttons and tie.

However, Liu Lei also noticed that the wooden box was still placed at the young master's feet, but the package was no longer visible.

"Master, are you going to take this with you too? What on earth is this?"

Liu Hongyu picked up the sword case and walked over, saying something with a smile.

"You finally couldn't help asking. This is a gift from an elder in the valley. It's a sword box!"

"Sword box?"

Seeing that Liu Lei was still frowning and confused, Liu Hongyu smiled again.

"Brother Lei, if you have time, just read more martial arts novels or costume dramas and you'll understand! By the way, do you have any secrets to dealing with those old antiques?"

"The secret?"

Liu Lei thought for a moment and said with the purpose of helping the young master relax.

"Young Master, you've been acting quite appropriately these past few days. Just stay calm and keep your composure. Just overwhelm them with your aura. As the boss said, these guys are actually spineless!"

Liu Hongyu thought about it for a moment, then nodded seriously.

At the Liu Group's headquarters complex in Zhongjin District, Zhonghai City, numerous cars arrived at the underground parking lot early in the morning. Even in Zhonghai, where private cars are relatively unremarkable, the vehicles arriving at the Liu Group complex today were mostly luxury brands rarely seen by the average person, a testament to their owners' status.

Liu Lei originally planned to let Liu Hongyu come early, but the latter said that it was impossible to let the people above wait for those below.

There was no way. Liu Lei couldn't convince the young master, so they could only arrive at the park together at nine o'clock, and then go straight to the headquarters building.

When they reached the door of the large conference room on the top floor, they were stopped by two tall and strong men.

Liu Hongyu just looked at the people in front of the conference room door with a scrutinizing look. As far as he could remember when he was a child, he never thought that there had been anything like this in the company meeting. No matter how much he disagreed, he should have argued in the meeting.

Liu Lei had anticipated many situations, so how could he not have thought of this one? Before he could say anything, the group of people who came with the two of them were already preparing to step forward.

However, Liu Lei waved his hand to stop them and looked at the men who were blocking the door.

"Do you know who I am?"

"I know. You are Mr. Liu Lei, Assistant to the President. This is a board meeting. You are not qualified to attend!"

Liu Lei kept smiling.

"Then do you know who is next to me?"

It was the same man from before. He looked at Liu Hongyu with a little doubt. After all, this man was carrying a wooden box on his back, and taking things should be done by his subordinates. But since Liu Lei asked this, it must be that person.

"He should be Mr. Liu's son, but this is a board meeting, and he has no right to attend!"

Liu Hongyu smiled and said, "Okay, theoretically it's a very formal and legal answer, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on."

If this reason is eliminated, then I cannot inherit the company without the approval of the general meeting, and if I do not inherit the company, I cannot attend the general meeting. Isn't there no solution?

"Brother Lei, when did those people in the company start playing this kind of trick?"

Liu Hongyu asked this, and Liu Lei smiled and moved closer to answer him.

"Young Master, sometimes business matters aren't as grand and splendid as they appear on TV dramas. In real business wars, many things are dirty but effective. Take today's situation for example. Even if we can't stop you, a fight between the two gangs would definitely be ugly, and even affect your image in the hearts of the group's branches and employees. Whether it's any use is another matter, but it has successfully disgusted us!"

As he spoke, Liu Lei gave a look to the people behind him, and the people he brought were ready to move forward, and the person blocking the door in front seemed to be prepared as well.

"That's not the case!"

Liu Hongyu glanced at the people behind him, and that look immediately made those who were about to take action stop in their tracks, not knowing what the young master meant.

Liu Lei also looked puzzled. Young Master, you wouldn't think that if you go up to him, those who are blocking the way ahead will be afraid to give way. They won't dare to hit you, but they will definitely block you from entering.

But before Liu Lei could remind him, Liu Hongyu smiled.

"Originally, it might have been a bit troublesome, but now that they can do this, I don't feel any psychological burden anymore!"

When he said the last sentence, Liu Hongyu's voice rose several degrees.

As he spoke, Liu Hongyu took off the sword case from his shoulder, swung his arm horizontally forward, and kicked the back end of the sword case with his right foot while letting go.

"Boom~"

The moment the kick landed and a dull sound was heard, the sword case suddenly flew towards the door of the conference room.

It was as if there was only a flash of lacquer, and the sword box collided with the door at such a speed that the strong men blocking the door could not react.

"boom--"

The moment the sword case collided with the wooden door of the conference room, the explosion-like sound hit the eardrums of others and even stirred up a considerable airflow.

The blurry sword case flew into the conference room, accompanied by broken wood chips from the door and a gust of wind.

Then with a "bang", the sword box stopped steadily in front of the main seat table in the conference room.

Sawdust and smoke filled the air at this moment, and after a brief shout or even scream, it quickly calmed down.

The staff area on the top floor, which is a little far from the conference room, was also frightened but recovered relatively quickly. One employee subconsciously picked up the phone receiver in panic and wanted to call the police, but was immediately rushed over by the leader next to him and pressed the phone.

In front of the conference room door, almost everyone nearby was crouching with their hands covering their ears, their bodies in a state of avoiding the door.

Inside the conference room, those directors who had experienced the ups and downs of business were all either lying on the table or hiding under the table, obviously frightened by the noise just now.

They even thought that robbers had directly hijacked the headquarters building. Some people looked at the door, and some looked carefully at the wooden box on the table.

"Om-"

A heart-pounding sound came from the sword case. Anyone who heard this sound felt as if they were being pointed at by a sharp weapon, which was chilling.

This is a feeling beyond common sense, a fear at the spiritual level.
The spirit sword is excited and eager!
On the entire top floor, only Liu Hongyu stood straight, even Liu Lei beside him was shrunken and in a daze.

Then Liu Hongyu walked towards the meeting room. This time no one stopped him. Liu Lei, who reacted quickly, followed him.

When Liu Hongyu entered the meeting room, the directors, those so-called elders, were all in a state of disarray. They had not yet recovered from their panic, and even looked at him with confusion.

Until Liu Hongyu stood in front of the position that once belonged to his father and placed one hand on the sword case.

"not today!"

Liu Hongyu's voice was very soft, and then the sound of the sword in the sword case subsided.

Liu Lei, who was following Liu Hongyu, was so excited that his body was shaking slightly, and he even clenched his fists unconsciously.

This time Ma Wei is so damn handsome, and so damn inspiring!
But is this something humanly possible? What's that sound coming from the wooden box? What exactly happened to the young master?
-
In the Shennongjia Nature Reserve in Jingzhou, Leng Zhiheng, who was beside Zhuang Lin, answered the phone on his mobile phone in a team of carriages that was preparing to transfer the actors.

"Hello? Oh, yes. You're here, huh? Ah? Ah? Young Master is so powerful?"

Leng Zhiheng was surprised and happy, and subconsciously looked at Zhuang Lin beside him.

On the other end of the phone in Zhonghai City, Liu Lei corrected him with a smile.

"From now on, you have to call me boss!"
