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

To be honest, he was quite satisfied with Su Qingzhu's offer.

However, it's best to ask for clarification.

"I personally have no objection, but I'd like to ask, doesn't Manager Su have a pretty good relationship with that Manager Feng?"

"Why do you need me to go and temporarily fill in for you?"

After pondering for a while, Su Qingzhu sighed.

"Everyone has their own little schemes. My young lady has them, and so does Miss Feng. Who can be sure they won't stab you in the back?"

"Besides, I trust you more than her!"

Got it!

Since things had been said to this extent, Lu Changfeng had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I agree, but shouldn't we upgrade the employee's rank?"

He had a clear understanding of the salary issue. Although he was temporarily taking over Su Ziyuan's position and would receive 100,000 spirit stones per month, he would lose that when Su Ziyuan returned. So he decided to take this opportunity to upgrade his employee level.

Su Qingzhu was immediately amused by Lu Changfeng's behavior.

"Alright, I'll upgrade you two more levels. Then you'll get 50,000 spirit stones a month, okay?"

After the two finished their discussion, he left Su Qingzhu's office.

The next morning, as the annual meeting officially began, Su Qingzhu announced in front of everyone that Lu Changfeng would temporarily replace her as the acting store manager.

The management didn't react much to this, clearly they already knew, but the subordinates were immediately in an uproar.

Although I was only an agent for the store manager for a period of time, I am still a store manager!

Compared to newly appointed executives like Su Ziyuan and Feng Ninglu, Lu Changfeng's path to promotion was clearly more enviable.

Despite their envy, they had no objection to Lu Changfeng taking the position. After all, his abilities speak for themselves, so what objection could they possibly have?

But Lu Changfeng's life didn't change much. He still spent his days slacking off at the inn, only going to the mall when there were meetings.

As for the work at the shopping mall, it was naturally handed over to Feng Ninglu.

Unfortunately, while the idea was good, problems soon arose.

At this moment, in Su Ziyuan's office, Lu Changfeng was lounging comfortably on the sofa he had brought with him. After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Feng Ninglu.

"What can I do for you, Deputy Store Manager Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ninglu tossed over a thick stack of reports and then snorted coldly.

"Lu Changfeng, you've handed over all the work to me, and you seem to be having a pretty comfortable time!"

Lu Changfeng didn't care much about this. After all, the other person had done the work for him, so he couldn't let them complain a bit!

"Ahem, Manager Feng, isn't this just me making good use of people?"

"Besides, I've only just taken over, and I'm not very familiar with the store manager's duties. Handing it over to you was a last resort!"

"Besides, don't you want to compete for the store manager position?"

"Think about it, if you take on all the work and manage it perfectly, wouldn't that be even more proof of your ability?"

"When Manager Su returns, I will strongly support you in vying for the position of store manager."

"Once you get the store manager position, your family will have even more confidence in you. Then, whether it's cultivation, marriage, or any other random thing, won't they support you?"

Seeing Lu Changfeng spouting such nonsense with such a straight face, Feng Ninglu was furious.

According to your logic, it's a good thing for someone to help you with your work?

If all the work is your own, then what's the point of having you?

She immediately gritted her teeth and said,

"What? Should I thank you?"

Lu Changfeng seemed not to understand the sarcasm in those words, and instead looked embarrassed.

"Hey, we're colleagues now, saying thank you would be too formal. How about you treat me to dinner?"

"Look, we've already started eating, so we definitely need to order some main dishes. First up is this hot pot; I love hot pot! Anything I throw in will taste delicious."

"Hot pot is enough for the main course; I can get full just by eating meat! Any late-stage Qi Refining demonic beasts will do, I'm not picky!"

"Then there are cold dishes like cucumber salad, just a few of those will do!"

"Finally, don't forget the fruit after the meal, and of course, I couldn't forget to order you some ice cream. It's so refreshing to have a can after hot pot!"

"But I have some things to take care of and need to go home tonight, so how about we just exchange it for cash?"

"It'll be 372.5 yuan in total. Just give me 372 spirit stones!"

He then extended his hand.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ninglu was completely dumbfounded.

No, all I did was offer a rebuttal, and now it's all about treating everyone to dinner. In the end, I didn't even get to eat, and I still have to give this kid 372 low-grade spirit stones.

Is this fucking right?

And I'm short of half a low-grade spirit stone from him!

Feng Ninglu grinned.

Lu Changfeng quickly comforted him,

"Cough cough, relax, relax!"

"Look at you, always in such a hurry!"

"I'm actually doing this for your own good. Look, we're a man and a woman alone in a room; people will think we're on a date!"

"It's nothing for me, a grown man, but if your reputation is ruined, that's the end of the world, right?"

At that moment, Feng Ninglu, baring her teeth, pounced on him.

"Lu Changfeng, you're going to die!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng was immediately startled.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're all Foundation Establishment experts, what's with biting people!"

"And you're the one who broke this table! The spirit stones you have to pay for it will come right out of your salary!"

"Don't worry, you don't need to actually use any spirit stones. We'll use the official accounts, okay?"

Unfortunately, Feng Ninglu, consumed by rage, had gone completely mad and started biting Lu Changfeng.

It's pitiful that he, a perfectly healthy young man, is being bitten by a crazy woman here. The worst part is that he can't leave, otherwise, where would he put his face as a Foundation Establishment expert!

After running a marathon in this room, the two finally stopped, panting heavily.

"Lu Changfeng, from now on, you'll be responsible for your own work!"

He tossed down a mid-grade spirit stone and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Lu Changfeng the next moment.

"etc!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ninglu was overjoyed. Could it be that this beast was going to apologize to her?

But the next moment she was completely dumbfounded. She saw Lu Changfeng put away the mid-grade spirit stone, then take out a low-grade spirit stone from somewhere, divide it in half, and hand over half of it.

"Ahem, a real man treats you to ice cream, so here's half a spirit stone. Consider it my treat!"

If the two were still just playfully teasing each other before, Feng Ninglu was truly anxious at this moment.

But she also knew that with her current cultivation level, she couldn't catch up even after so many laps, and it would probably be a waste of time if she didn't. So she snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

But the next moment, he quickly returned, grabbed the half of the spirit stone, and left!

After everyone left, Lu Changfeng clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

The laughter was so loud that Feng Ninglu, who had just stepped out, turned pale and opened the office door. The laughter inside immediately ceased.

At this moment, Lu Changfeng had a serious expression on his face.

"Is there anything else, Deputy Store Manager Feng?"

Feng Ninglu was furious.

Are you laughing at me?

How could Lu Changfeng say such a thing directly? He immediately began to argue.

"Ahem, Manager Feng, what do you mean by that?"

"Don't worry, I'm a professional. No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh unless I can't help it!"

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
