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

In the end, Feng Ninglu left in a huff.

It wasn't that Lu Changfeng's actions angered her, but rather that she hadn't expected Gao Renji to make such a decision when nothing had actually happened.

After a meeting, the three parties finally determined their respective jurisdictions.

Although Lu Changfeng is the deputy store manager in the shopping mall, he is still in charge of the inn's operation.

As for Feng Ninglu, she will continue to be in charge of the operations on the second and third floors.

As for the newly arrived Gao Renji, he is in charge of the first floor and the management of the ten shopping malls he has been assigned to.

Others discussed the division of their work areas, but the three of them were actually quite satisfied with it.

Lu Changfeng was relaxed, Feng Ninglu didn't have to worry about the source of goods and income, and Gao Renji managed the most people.

At the end of the year,

"Ugh, I don't want to go to work!"

"Zhen Ji, I want grilled crispy sausage on a hot plate, two steamers of steamed buns, and a bowl of plum juice!"

Everything was fine until Zhen Ji heard about the plum juice later on, and she instantly exploded.

Although she is only ten years old this year, she is already about 1.4 meters tall, so now she no longer needs Lu Changfeng to prepare food for her, but needs to prepare food for herself.

He immediately stood with his hands on his hips, looking angry, and approached Lu Changfeng, brandishing a small shovel.

"Old Deng, what are you drinking sour plum juice for so early in the morning?!"

"And it's winter now, winter!"

However, Lu Changfeng was still sleepy.

"What's the big deal? Have you ever seen a house where it never snows in winter?"

That's right. As the spiritual energy between heaven and earth increases, what used to be just trees continuing to grow in winter has now stopped even from snowing.

In other words, it's just a little colder now.

In Lu Changfeng's view, a winter without snow is nothing; as long as it's not winter, you can drink plum juice.

However, in response to Lu Changfeng's explanation, Zhen Ji simply rolled her eyes.

"Come on!"

"Breakfast only includes crispy sausage and steamed buns; plum juice is not provided!"

In the end, Lu Changfeng accepted the breakfast.

After regaining his composure, he rode his scooter to the mall.

Good morning, store manager!

Good morning, store manager.

"Hello, Manager Lu!"

……

Lu Changfeng simply smiled and nodded at the employees' greetings before heading to his office.

As soon as she entered, Xie Duo handed over a stack of reports.

That's right, in the end, so that he could lie down comfortably, Lu Changfeng still called Xie Duo over to do his work.

As for the inn, Li Mingfei was the only one who could handle things there. Fortunately, the workflow there was already set, so there wouldn't be any problems.

However, Lu Changfeng didn't even glance at him, simply slumping in his chair.

"I won't look at these reports, just summarize them for me!"

Xie Duo didn't have any objections to this, since he had been doing this for the past six months.

"OK!"

"Recently, only the medicine counter on the first floor of the mall is still functioning normally; the others are barely surviving!"

"However, with the improvement in the cultivation level of the new generation of disciples outside, the consumption of pills on the second floor has increased, so the overall income has still increased. According to the estimate, your dividend this year will be around 70 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Aside from that, the inn is operating smoothly overall, but the inn's formation needs some maintenance!"

"That's about it for today's tasks!"

Lu Changfeng nodded in acknowledgment.

Actually, there are still many secrets that Xie Duo doesn't know.

On the surface, the market is indeed doing well overall, but Feng Ninglu and Gao Renji have clashed countless times.

In truth, he couldn't understand how the two fought, since both came from prominent families and their struggles were highly secretive.

Furthermore, he doesn't use divination to understand their struggle, so all he can see is Feng Ninglu looking smug this month, and Gao Renji gaining the upper hand next month.

However, both of them managed to keep the conflict within the scope of ordinary employees, which is quite good.

It seems the results are about to be announced.

As expected, the day before the annual meeting, Lu Changfeng, as the deputy store manager, was invited to watch the battle between Feng Ninglu and Gao Renji outside the city.

When they arrived at the destination, only Feng Ninglu and her group were present. Besides her, there was an elderly woman who had reached the Golden Core stage and two middle-aged men who had reached the late Golden Core stage.

They only glanced at Lu Changfeng and then ignored him.

Lu Changfeng didn't pay any attention to this and immediately went to Feng Ninglu's side to ask her.

"Sister Lu, what's going on? Why is it suddenly decided to decide the winner today?"

In Lu Changfeng's eyes, the struggle between Feng Ninglu and Gao Renji was a back-and-forth battle, and had not yet reached the final decisive stage.

However, Feng Ninglu shook her head.

"Hey, when the Gao family first came last year, our two families had already made a decision: prolonged fighting is not conducive to accumulating wealth!"

"So we agreed to settle the matter in six months, and the stakes were the profit-sharing rights of these second-level store managers!"

"Six months later, the two sides repeated this process again! A total of three times,"

"Whoever wins the most times out of three rounds will truly control this position!"

Now he finally understood.

"Alright, since it was your agreement, I won't say anything more!"

"But are you sure you can do it?"

Lu Changfeng's standards have become incredibly high. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting without any unusual phenomena? What's the difference between this and children playing house?

But since this matter affected his work, he reluctantly decided to come and take a look.

However, if anything unexpected were to happen, he would still try to protect Feng Ninglu, since they had a very good relationship.

"Hmph, now I'll show you what the true power and influence of a great family is all about!"

"Don't underestimate me just because I'm only at the peak of Foundation Establishment. I have a record of defeating someone in the early stages of Golden Core. That kid from the Gao family is no match for me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng was greatly shocked.

"Wow, not bad! I didn't expect you to have defeated someone in the early Golden Core stage. Awesome!"

However, Lu Changfeng's words infuriated Feng Ninglu.

"Are you trying to fool me like a child? Fine, I can't be bothered arguing with you. Just wait and see how I deal with that bastard!"

After saying that, she slowly stepped forward, closed her eyes, and waited. A few minutes later, Gao Renji finally arrived in a hurry with his men.

"Sorry for the delay, shall we begin now?"

Feng Ninglu naturally had no objection to this, and immediately took out dozens of talismans and threw them out. In the blink of an eye, these talismans formed a huge protective shield around them.

However, this protective shield only reduces the fluctuations that occur during combat.

The next moment, Feng Ninglu, her body wreathed in spiritual energy, collided with Gao Renji, who was also enveloped in it.

Boom!

Almost instantly, Lu Changfeng felt the ground around him tremble violently.

Keep in mind that this noise was generated even after the protective shield had reduced its intensity.

"Wow, that's impressive fighting power!"
