The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Seeing his proud expression, Lu Changfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, alright, let's not worry about them. Let's just focus on our own work!"

"By the way, how's the situation now?"

Since the waiter and steward on the first floor have all received spirit stones, it's highly likely that it's Duan Yu.

In any other place, Su Ziyuan would definitely have been able to take down Duan Yu based on suspicion alone.

Unfortunately, while the shopping mall actually belongs to Su Ziyuan, it is theoretically under the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce, and the mall's supplies still need to be allocated by headquarters.

Without solid evidence, Su Ziyuan really had no way to take action against Duan Yu.

"How would I know? I spent all night investigating yesterday, but I reckon the investigation might not uncover anything!"

Li Mingfei shrugged, looking helpless.

Lu Changfeng wasn't too surprised by this result. Duan Yu had been in office without any real power, and now he controlled half of the business world. He certainly wasn't lacking in cunning.

Since they've done this, even if it's not foolproof, there shouldn't be any obvious clues to be found.

Sure enough, after three days of investigation, they found absolutely nothing; it was as if the matter had vanished into thin air.

He didn't know how Duan Yu reacted, but Su Ziyuan was clearly angry.

As for how they figured it out? Every time Su Ziyuan left, a cleaner would go in to clean up, and the trash they threw out included not only various porcelains and pieces of wood, but also some fragments of jade slips.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

He had disliked Duan Yu for a long time, but before, there was a Golden Core cultivator standing behind him. Now, he was a store manager and also the eyes and ears of the headquarters. If something happened to him, the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce would investigate.

He had no confidence in escaping the investigation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he had been looking for an opportunity to truly deal with him.

Now this opportunity has come!

If I can find clues about how Duan Yu got rid of this batch of supplies, then this guy is doomed.

He immediately activated the Heavenly Divination Technique, and the results appeared quickly.

After reading it, I suddenly understood.

"So it was through an array!"

As everyone knows, the entire Luoyun Shopping Mall is surrounded by various formations, among which the warehouse is the most heavily protected by formations.

But no matter how tight the defenses are, they are only for outsiders. As one of our own, and someone from headquarters, it's perfectly normal for Duan Yu to have a little bit of backdoor access.

Should we go directly to the second manager?

He immediately rejected the idea.

You can tell the second manager, but you can't go directly there.

After all, he understood the principle of catching thieves red-handed. This investigation was bound to be fruitless, so he would have to wait for his next move.

Going directly there would inevitably alert the enemy.

Thinking of this, he took out the communication jade slip and then slowly uttered a few words using his most natural vocalization, the bubble sound.

"Second Manager, wanna hang out?"

After doing all this, he put his legs up on the table and waited for the second manager to arrive.

I'm sure Su Qingzhu will understand what I mean.

Meanwhile, the mall's management was having a meeting.

"Alright, Qingmei, report on the investigation over the past few days!"

Although everyone at the scene knew that Duan Yu was most likely responsible, they could only treat it as a theft case because there was no evidence pointing to him.

"It's the store manager. Based on the investigation over the past few days, the security team has checked all the employees, but they haven't found any direct connection between the spirit stones that suddenly appeared in the hands of these ordinary employees and this batch of missing goods!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu slammed his hand on the table, his face beaming with joy.

"See? I told you this had nothing to do with my people, but you didn't believe me!!"

"That's good now. This information was gathered by your people, so you should believe it now!"

The entire conference room fell silent for a moment, but the smug smile on his face said it all.

Even if everyone knows that you did it, so what? You, Su Ziyuan, are the one who guards the warehouse. Now that half of the goods are lost, you should naturally make up for the loss.

Suddenly, Su Qingzhu, who was sitting next to Su Ziyuan, had a slight change in expression.

Su Ziyuan immediately realized this.

"Qingzhu, what's wrong?"

However, Su Qingzhu shook her head.

"Nothing much, just a message came through the communication jade slip!"

Su Ziyuan immediately felt that an unseen premonition pointed to this message.

Her eyes lit up. She had been worrying about this very thing recently, and now her divine inspiration had suddenly struck. Could this news be the solution to her current troubles?

Thinking of this, she immediately gave the order.

"The person who can contact you isn't some nobody. Since you're free now, take a look first! Just in case something important comes up."

Hearing this, Duan Yu became unhappy. This is the time to discuss compensation, why are you bringing up other things?

Just as he was about to speak, Su Qingzhu suddenly muttered something under her breath.

"Huh, why did Lu Changfeng message me?"

Both Su Ziyuan and Duan Yu felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

Su Ziyuan was overjoyed. That's right! Lu Changfeng is really something else. Every time there was a problem in the mall, it was this guy who solved it, or rather, it was his insights that solved it.

If it were him, perhaps he could catch Duan Yu in the act.

On the other side, Duan Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself at this moment.

Why is it this strange kid, Lu Changfeng? He might think that he could never find out the methods of others, but he can't be sure about this kid.

Thinking of this, he quickly spoke up.

"Manager Su, this is meeting time. There's no need to let so many of us be delayed by something as trivial as Lu Changfeng!"

"The mall's top priority right now is dealing with the lost goods, not listening to his reports!"

"Or do you, Manager Su, think that information about Lu Changfeng is more important than the missing goods in the mall?"

Duan Yu's words immediately resonated with many people in the conference room, who nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Lu Changfeng is quite capable, but who among us doesn't have some ability?

Besides, even if Lu Changfeng's news is important, can't we just listen to it after the meeting? Why do we have to listen to it during the meeting?

However, faced with Duan Yu's behavior, Su Ziyuan felt she had done the right thing, and immediately turned cold, looking at Duan Yu with a mocking expression.

"Hehe, why are you in such a hurry, Deputy Store Manager Duan? It's just a message, but you seem to be trying to prevent everyone from hearing it!"

"What, do you think Lu Changfeng has some leverage over you?"

Immediately, everyone present turned to look at the furious Duan Yu, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Seeing this, Duan Yu gritted his teeth in anger, but still let out a cold snort.

Although he had drunk with Lu Changfeng many times, he hadn't made a move back then, so even if he knew some of Lu Changfeng's secrets, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

Thinking of this, he immediately felt much more relaxed.

"What leverage could he possibly have against me? I'm just reminding you not to waste your time. If you want to hear it, then listen!"

Seeing this, under everyone's gaze, Su Qingzhu slowly opened Lu Changfeng's message.

Then came Lu Changfeng's bubbly and slightly flirtatious voice.

"Second Manager, wanna hang out?"
