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

However, upon hearing Li Mingfei's sophistry, Feng Ninglu's lips twitched involuntarily. Did others not know, but he did?

She had already heard Su Ziyuan's evaluation of Lu Changfeng.

Greedy, yet not really greedy; dislikes causing trouble, but inexplicably possesses a strong ability to solve problems.

In short, he is a rather contradictory person!

Actually, she came here to see this strange person, but she didn't expect to find him even after walking around for a while.

"Where's your assistant store manager? I haven't seen him yet!"

Feng Ninglu immediately asked the question.

Fortunately, Li Mingfei immediately replied.

"Our manager frequently goes out to investigate the market, which is why the inn is so successful!"

"He's already started investigating in the city!"

Suddenly, Li Mingfei spotted Lu Changfeng, who was trying to sneak in, and immediately called out.

"Manager, you're back from your investigation? Deputy Manager Feng is looking for you!"

Immediately, everyone present looked in the direction Li Mingfei had spoken.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng was about to curse in his heart. If you're going to do a good job of receiving guests, then do what you're doing and bragging about it?

He used this as an excuse to always go out and slack off, but every few months Su Ziyuan would ask him what he had found out, and in no time all his little bits of knowledge would be gone.

Fortunately, after becoming the innkeeper, I no longer needed that excuse.

Why didn't you use another excuse at this point? Why did you have to use this one?

I reckon they're going to have to do some work soon.

As expected, upon hearing this, Su Ziyuan and Feng Ninglu exchanged a glance, and immediately understood each other's meaning.

Su Ziyuan immediately spoke up.

"Hey, Lu Changfeng, I didn't expect you to be so diligent. Since you're here so early, it seems you've uncovered something!"

"Since Manager Feng is here too, why don't you tell us so everyone can have a say?"

Lu Changfeng curled his lip in response.

Damn, this woman really loves to go along with things!

But there was nothing he could do; since he'd been called, he had no choice but to go.

Upon getting closer and seeing Feng Ninglu, Lu Changfeng had only one thought in his mind.

Holy crap, this woman is really not afraid of the cold!

It's worth noting that even Su Ziyuan is currently wearing a rather thick red coat with fur trim around her neck, but this woman actually came out wearing a black cheongsam.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Would a Foundation Establishment cultivator be afraid of the cold?

But he still prefers to wear thicker clothes, as it's more comfortable to sleep in the office that way.

"Managers, it's too simplistic of you to just tell me directly. Why don't you guess what I've discovered?"

As the old saying goes, if you don't know the problem, let them raise it first, so you can be prepared.

Upon hearing this, the two women's eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh, then I bet you've figured out how to make the mall's business better, right!"

However, Feng Ninglu smiled slightly.

"Hey, manager, I don't think Changfeng will just come up with this much from their investigation. I think they should at least conclude that business has doubled!"

Lu Changfeng immediately gave the two women the middle finger in his mind.

Damn, you're conducting research, not making wishes, and your business is going to double? Do you think that's possible?

You have to understand that Luoyun Shopping Mall is already the largest shopping mall in Tianxing City, with monthly sales of an astronomical figure. This is like doubling the sales of a company that has already reached its revenue limit in the local area. How is that even possible?

Ah!

It seems there might actually be that possibility!

Seeing Lu Changfeng deep in thought, Su Ziyuan and Feng Ninglu were startled.

Actually, they regretted saying those words as soon as they did, because they knew that the business in Tianxing City's shopping malls had already reached an extremely high level, and doubling it would be a pipe dream.

But looking at Lu Changfeng's thoughtful expression, it seems that this is indeed possible!

The two immediately became curious.

If the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce can come up with any replicable business strategy, it will greatly increase their influence within the Chamber.

Even if Lu Changfeng was making things up, they wanted to hear the whole story before they spoke.

After pondering for a while, Lu Changfeng finally came up with a simple solution, and immediately looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Managers, you guessed right! I really have found a way to significantly boost business in the mall!"

"With proper execution, it's even possible to achieve several times the improvement, or even more than ten times!"

"But all my investigations have yielded only one result: poor health!"

"Ouch, my herniated disc!"

"Ouch, my corrugated cap!"

"Ouch, my hip joint!"

Watching Lu Changfeng's extremely exaggerated performance, Su Ziyuan and Feng Ninglu almost burst out laughing.

Can you go any further? If you want benefits, just say so! You're actually putting on an act here!

However, it must be said that what Lu Changfeng said tempted the two of them. If it could really increase their business several times over, even if it only boosted their own shopping mall's business, it would still be quite good.

"Alright, alright, double the work level! Plus an extra spirit stone reward, now you can tell me!"

Lu Changfeng's eyes lit up immediately.

"Really, shopkeeper? If the work grade doubles, that's 20,000 spirit stones a month?"

Su Ziyuan nodded.

"That's right, if you're right, I'd even accept doubling the price!"

Compared to ten times the sales volume, Lu Changfeng's monthly salary is just a drop in the ocean. After all, even a monthly salary of 100,000 is only 100 mid-grade spirit stones.

In today's world, this is nothing!

Immediately, Lu Changfeng rubbed his hands together like a lackey.

As the saying goes, dignity is precious, but wages are even more valuable!

"Hehehe, that's right. Look, today the Heavenly Star Sect admitted a total of 120 million disciples, plus several times that number of their family members!"

"Our growth potential lies right here!"

His words made their eyes light up.

Indeed, with so many people, if we could really attract them to spend money in shopping malls, increasing sales tenfold would be a piece of cake.

But Feng Ninglu soon raised a different opinion.

"What you said is indeed true, but the Heavenly Star Sect doesn't have that many tasks for so many people, so they don't have spirit stones on hand, how could they possibly come here to spend them!"

Immediately, everyone present turned their attention to Lu Changfeng.

Feng Ninglu's words were indeed correct; although there were many people, they didn't have any spirit stones!

However, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, is that the question?"

Seeing this, everyone thought Lu Changfeng had a solution, but the next moment he just shrugged.

"What do I care if they don't have spirit stones!"

Everyone was furious.

What the hell are you laughing about if you don't have a solution? You're making them think there really is one!

At this moment, both Su Ziyuan and Feng Ninglu wanted to beat up Lu Changfeng.
