My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 20 Personal Charm
at night.

Before logging into the Cultivator’s Home.

Zhou Ping sent a message to Chen Xue.

She quickly video-called.

After connecting.

A black face appeared on the phone screen.

But beneath the dark face is a crystal white collarbone.

Chen Xue blinked and said with a giggle, "You're not scared, are you? I'm applying a facial mask."

As she spoke she gestured.

Zhou Ping asked a few dry questions casually, then got down to business. "I'm planning to go to the orchard in Xin'an County tomorrow. Are you free?"

Chen Xue asked in confusion, "Why are you going to the orchard? Haven't you already signed the contract?"

"I just want to see the scenery over there."

"If it's good, I'll build a villa there and relax there in my free time."

Zhou Ping explained.

Most aspiring practitioners have their own place for practice.

Chen Xue didn't doubt anything else. She nodded and said, "You really need a place to relax. I've been to Xin'an County before, and the scenery there is quite nice. Okay, I'll talk to my assistant tomorrow and ask her to take my shift."

"Are you going in the afternoon or in the morning?"

Zhou Ping said, "There's one more thing this afternoon...about the employment contracts for the orchard workers. I'll need your help as the PR manager. You know, I'm not good at this kind of thing."

There are two types of employment contracts: one is the more common labor employment contract, and the other has more conditions. Not only does he have to live in the orchard, but he also has to sign a contract for at least five years.

Of course, the latter offers the best salary and benefits.

This is mainly done to test the population rules of the country.

If neither works, you'll have to try again.

Chen Xue was a little confused as to why Zhou Ping did all these things. After all, no matter how well the Orchard Mountain was managed, it had no meaning for practitioners.

But she didn't ask much.

Maybe this is just Zhou Ping's personal hobby.

"no problem."

"Leave the workers' contracts to me."

Let’s finish talking about business.

Chen Xue peeled off her mask, revealing her sexy and charming face. A hint of mischief flashed in her eyes. "Zhou Ping, you've been training at the company for quite some time now. Tell me the truth, have you ever had any encounters with any girls?"

Zhou Ping was a little confused. "What encounter?"

Chen Xue snorted, "You're asking even though you already know the answer. Of course, those girls are using all sorts of tricks to show you their youth."

"This……"

Zhou Ping subconsciously thought of Chen Xue's assistant and the vacuum scenery between her skirt and black stockings. Although he didn't know how many people had seen such a beautiful scene, it was still fresh in his memory when he recalled it.

See his reaction.

Chen Xue said helplessly, "I knew those girls in the company wouldn't be idle. You prospective cultivators are all like bees and butterflies attracting each other. You are even more attractive than us girls."

Zhou Ping said nothing.

He naturally knew that this was not some unique personal charm, but merely the halo charm brought by money and status.

If it is before nourishing the spiritual roots.

None of the pretty girls in the company would look at him straight in the eye.

Chatted for a while.

The two of them ended the video.

Zhou Ping lay on the bed and entered the forum section of the Cultivator's Home. After refreshing a few posts, he saw a rather eye-catching title.

The government is increasing subsidies for prospective practitioners to address the turbulent situation abroad.

Click on the content.

"I believe that domestic groups and major companies have already received the national subsidies for prospective practitioners last month. From what I understand, many companies have increased the distribution of spiritual nutrient solution to implement national policies."

"The country is doing this to train more practitioners as quickly as possible. After all, the situation abroad is becoming increasingly devastating. Just yesterday, practitioners from two major Western financial groups clashed, resulting in over a hundred casualties. This is the third incident in the past hundred years since the discovery of spacecraft that has resulted in over a hundred practitioners being killed or injured. This proves that the situation abroad is showing signs of collapse."

"Although our country is currently safe, no one knows how long this situation will last. Once the world situation changes, practitioners will be the most important reserve of combat power, so everyone should seize the time to improve themselves!"

See this.

He frowned.

He had seen numerous similar posts recently. Although many of them were alarmist, exaggerating facts and creating panic, it was undeniable that the situation abroad was indeed chaotic.

Considering the level of state subsidies, practitioners will inevitably start to speculate.

Browsed for a while.

Zhou Ping didn't see any useful posts, so he exited the software.

Through the curtains.

See the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

He thought to himself that no matter whether the foreign situation would affect the domestic situation, he had to increase the country's fortune. Only in this way could he deal with various emergencies.

The next day.

Cold air is coming from the north.

The temperature plummeted.

Many residents in the community changed into warm and thick clothing.

Zhou Ping came to the Security Department.

Seeing that the office was deserted, I guessed that my uncle and the others were still working outside.

After asking Sister Li.

Sure enough.

"Our security department was busy all night yesterday. I heard we have some clues. The murderer has already escaped from Jiangcheng City. The security department is now cooperating with comrades in other cities to hunt him down."

"Xiao Zhou, you must work hard on your cultivation. If you encounter similar cases in the future, you might be able to help a lot."

Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly, but thought of the art of talismans in his mind.

If what Zhu Yuyang said is correct.

The reinforcements dispatched by the General Administration this time might also come from the Taoist temple.

Otherwise it wouldn’t be so fast.

"By the way, Sister Li, a murderer like this should be sentenced to death after being caught."

Think about the treatment of practitioners.

he asked.

Sister Li nodded. "For such vicious incidents, once the murderer is caught, he will generally be sentenced to death swiftly. Although the country has various preferential treatments for cultivators, it will not allow them to wantonly harm and trample on lives."

A little after ten in the morning.

My uncle called and said the murderer had been caught.

This surprised Zhou Ping.

I didn't expect the action to be so quick.

"The General Administration is taking the Guangjiang District incident very seriously. The reinforcements they sent are very powerful and seem to be related to the identity of the murderer. I can't find out the details, but I just heard Captain Wu mention it."

"Tell your aunt that I'll be home for dinner tonight."

"Row."

While Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief, he thought to himself that what Zhu Yuyang said was probably true. The murderer came from the Taoist temple. However, he couldn't understand why the Taoist temple would do such a thing. After all, the Taoist temple had sufficient resources for cultivation.

It is unlikely that the murderer would take such a risk just for the sake of practicing.

"Forget it, this is not something I should think about."

He shook his head to suppress the thought.

He continued to look through the report data.

By the afternoon.

Zhou Ping drove to Nanwan Community first.

Waited a while.

Chen Xue came out of the community gate. She changed into a professional suit of a white-collar beauty, giving people a very capable feeling.

"Would you like to drive my car?"

"Next time."

The two chatted briefly and then set off to the law firm to pick up Lawyer Yan in the car.

It was almost three o'clock.

They just arrived in Xin'an County.
