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

Having no other choice, Lu Changfeng had to wait at the mall early in the morning.

Watching his employees holding their morning meeting, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Ugh, being an employee is so unethical! Having to come to work so early!"

"It's so uncomfortable!"

However, Feng Ninglu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Come on, you've been working for seven years now, this is probably the only time!"

Hearing her say that, Lu Changfeng wasn't embarrassed, since it was true.

However, the thought that he had actually worked at Luoyun Shopping Mall for seven years filled him with a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and reflection).

Seven years! How many seven-year periods does one have in a lifetime? Only 7142 seven-year periods. What a waste, such a terrible waste!

So he decided that if he didn't like the work, he would go to his own company and take on any position, so he could truly relax whenever he wanted.

For now, let's just keep working. Anyway, we'd be lying around doing nothing anywhere, but we can earn a little more here!

Splash!

Suddenly, several people landed at the door. Upon seeing them, Feng Ninglu quickly reminded them.

"They're here. The blond-haired guy in front is Gao Renji, the third young master of the Gao family, and the one behind him is his bodyguard, the fifth elder of the Gao family."

Lu Changfeng didn't seem to have much of an opinion on this.

After all, they are all remnants of the old era. At his age, he probably hasn't reached the point where he can condense a phenomenon. He's definitely a bottom-tier character. Although he's not completely finished, it's not a big problem to classify him as an NPC.

However, Feng Ninglu's interest wasn't in Gao Renji, but rather in Lu Changfeng.

"Hey, you slacker, aren't you usually so afraid of trouble? Why aren't you going up to greet them?"

Lu Changfeng curled his lip in response to Feng Ninglu's teasing.

"Welcome? Welcome my ass!"

"If they don't cause me trouble, I'll happily continue slacking off!"

"But if they try to cause me trouble, I'll chop them all down, along with the guy following behind them!"

He had no choice but to keep a low profile before, but now that he has the power, why should he keep a low profile? If anyone dares to cause him trouble, he'll chop them back on the spot.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be this arrogant?"

"Then you're in trouble!"

"They came here specifically to see you!"

Lu Changfeng didn't care about this. He already knew from the divination that a level-two Luoyun Mall could only have one level-two store manager and one level-three store manager.

Now that both positions are occupied, the Gao family will naturally try to take their place.

However, he was not worried because the divination results indicated that the Gao family had made some moves, and Gao Renji was already at the store manager level.

Therefore, the Gao family's primary goal has always been Feng Ninglu's position.

"That's not necessarily true. According to my information, this person from the Gao family is already a level three store manager!"

"So this time, their target is you, my dear Sister Lu!"

After saying that, he looked at Feng Ninglu with a look of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ninglu exploded.

"How is that possible? A secondary shopping mall can only support one secondary store manager and one tertiary store manager. If another tertiary store manager comes in, the profit distributed to headquarters will only be 20%!"

But she quickly realized the problem.

"Hiss, spirit stones aren't important, luck is!"

"Oh no, now I'm the target!"

She had no intention of watching the spectacle anymore and slipped away to get ready.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng also returned to his office.

When he was the acting store manager, his office was the same one as Su Ziyuan's, but now that he's officially the assistant store manager, he switched offices with Feng Ninglu.

It has to be said that Feng Ninglu's office is much more comfortable to lie in than Su Ziyuan's office.

What's more, this sofa made from the hide of a Foundation Establishment level demon beast has a constant temperature system. It stays cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold.

If this were in my previous life, it would have been sold out instantly!

However, to his surprise, the first person Gao Renji met at the mall wasn't Feng Ninglu, but himself.

After Gao Renji knocked on the door and entered, he looked at Lu Changfeng with a smile.

"You must be Lu Changfeng. I've heard so much about you!"

As he spoke, he extended a hand. Although Lu Changfeng was surprised, he shook it anyway, after all, one doesn't hit a smiling face.

"Manager Gao, please have a seat and some tea!"

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

This is a tea gift pack that appeared after he advanced to the Golden Core stage; it's genuine, top-grade third-tier spiritual tea.

Gao Renji took only one sip, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"A cup of tea with a rich, aromatic flavor—it's wonderful!"

He then put down his teacup and handed over a contract. Lu Changfeng glanced at it and knew that it was the contract that Wang Mang had signed for 20 years.

But why did the other party hand this thing over?

He didn't believe that the things Gao Jiagao had worked so hard to get would be given away for free!

Gao Renji clearly knew what Lu Changfeng was thinking, and immediately explained with a smile.

"Manager Lu, don't worry. Since you already know I'm a manager, my target isn't you, but Feng Ninglu!"

"So I'm just asking for this in exchange for you not interfering in the affairs between our two families, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng immediately laughed.

"Interesting. I can agree, but only if you don't try any tricks!"

"Also, it's best to keep the conflict between the two of you within a certain range so as not to affect the employees below!"

What a worker fears most is not having a hard job, but being dragged into trouble for no reason. Now that he's in this position, regardless of his reasons for getting there, as long as his own safety is not in danger, he should protect his subordinates more.

Gao Renji laughed too.

"Luoyun Shopping Mall and its employees have never been adversaries, but rather partners!"

Don't worry.

With this guarantee, Lu Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you very much!"

After seeing the other party off, Lu Changfeng immediately did some calculations.

Logically speaking, even if Gao Renji came to find him, he wouldn't have this attitude.

The divination results came out quickly, and after reading them, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that the elder of the Gao family had a magical artifact that could detect any murderous intent in the surroundings, originally intended to prevent sneak attacks.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, the magical artifact pointed at Lu Changfeng, which was the same time when Lu Changfeng was showing off in front of Feng Ninglu.

Therefore, this magical artifact was able to sense even the slightest hint of killing intent.

Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected, the world of cultivation isn't just about fighting and killing; there are also many wondrous magical artifacts!"

"But this is good. I was originally thinking of giving up on the furniture industry, but now it's fine, I don't have to give up!"

As a result, not long after Gao Renji left, Feng Ninglu stormed over in a huff.

Bang!

"Lu Changfeng, did you promise that bastard something?!"

"We're friends! How could you abandon a friend for such a small gain!"

I despise you!

Seeing her angry expression, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Ahem, Sister Lu, this isn't just a small amount of profit. Gao Ren can give me the furniture factory contract directly, as long as I don't get involved in your struggle!"

"It's hard for me to refuse!"
