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

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng immediately perked up.

"What happened? Tell me in detail!"

Recently, Xie Zhixing has been frequently taking leave for some reason. Although I guess it's because of his family, in the adult world, unless the other party tells me, I should pretend I don't know.

Fortunately, there was Li Mingfei as a substitute, otherwise he would have missed a lot of fun.

"That's right. Although our Luoyun Shopping Mall is affiliated with the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce, as you know, the entire mall was funded by Manager Su using spirit stones!"

"Headquarters only provides Tier 2 resources!"

"Now that we've established a firm foothold here, headquarters has sent us an assistant store manager!"

"But you know the situation in our shop. What will we do if a fight breaks out?"

After hearing his explanation, Lu Changfeng suddenly realized what he meant.

When the mall and local businesses were locked in a fierce battle, he was always puzzled: the first floor was running low on supplies, but the second floor remained largely unaffected.

I initially thought that Manager Su had prepared a lot of resources, and that the items on the second floor were all for Foundation Establishment, which was why there was no reaction. But now it seems that the situation is not like that.

It's quite normal to send a deputy store manager to keep an eye on things.

As for Li Mingfei's suggestion of seizing power, he felt that it was also a possibility.

After all, initially all the supplies on the first floor of the mall were sourced locally, while only the second floor had resources provided by the headquarters. Under these circumstances, it wasn't a big problem for Su Ziyuan to own the entire mall; it was essentially a franchise store.

But what's the situation now?

If a shopping mall relies entirely on headquarters for its internal supplies and even its name, what use are you? Does headquarters lack the spiritual stones to build the mall?

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Li Mingfei.

"Golden Chicken, continue to gather information on this matter!"

"Whether our slacking-off team can continue to just watch the drama unfold depends entirely on you!"

In the world of cultivation, power is far more important than strength.

Even if you climb up, if you're not strong enough, do you really expect others to respect you? That's just wishful thinking.

So most people are just after resources to speed up their own development; as for mistreating their employees, that's something only a hothead would do.

"Okay, I'll take care of this!"

However, to everyone's surprise, the assistant store manager did not arrive at the mall until a full month later.

Over the next few days, the two of them would sneak over for a peek during their morning commute to work.

The new assistant store manager is named Duan Yu. He is a seemingly carefree young man who wears a red jacket like a cassock and uses his flying sword like a skateboard to fly a distance before kicking it twice with one foot.

Most importantly, since joining Luoyun Shopping Mall, this guy hasn't fought with Su Ziyuan as others expected. Instead, he's been cultivating and doesn't care about anything at the store.

Many people breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It's good that they don't fight. It's so good that they don't fight.

But they forgot about Zhao Meng. Ever since he was humiliated by Lu Changfeng, he had been lying low for a while, and neither Su Ziyuan nor Su Qingzhu paid any attention to him.

When he heard that a deputy store manager had been sent from headquarters, he immediately went to find him. Duan Yu didn't know why, but he actually agreed to let him join his cause.

Now, Zhao Meng and his two henchmen are directly confronting Huo Chongwu in the operations department every day.

Fortunately, Huo Chongwu also had Li Bing's help and Su Ziyuan's tacit approval, so the two sides were exchanging benefits and making things quite lively.

At today's meeting, Zhao Meng made a suggestion that Huo Chongwu opposed; tomorrow, Huo Chongwu will make a suggestion that Zhao Meng opposes.

Anyway, suggestions are made every day, and there's always a buzz, but none of them have been implemented.

However, Lu Changfeng has recently encountered some unpleasant things.

At this moment, in front of the fresh milk counter, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man smiled and pointed to the fresh milk under the transparent counter, asking,

"Young man, this is my first time here. I heard that you have some milk products at your counter that are good for my grandson's health. Could you tell me about them?"

"If it's really good, I'll buy some for my grandson! Who knows, maybe our family will produce another cultivator!"

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng inwardly cursed.

Damn, Duan Yu is here again!

Then, while explaining, he started mentally complaining.

Fine, you're here, but if you've changed your approach, at least change your script too! Always using the same script, are you afraid people won't notice?

Moreover, he was the owner of the Azure Lotus Longevity Body, and was extremely sensitive to life force, so he knew it the first time Duan Yu came.

He had previously thought this guy was an ascetic.

After the introductions were nearly finished, Lu Changfeng finally looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Sir, these are the fresh milk options available. However, we only have one hundred servings of Zengling Milk available each day. If you really want to buy some for your grandson, please come earlier tomorrow!"

"If you come too late, there really won't be any left!"

Hearing this, Duan Yu nodded inwardly. Although the attitude was somewhat indifferent, it was generally acceptable, though he still appeared anxious on the surface.

"Oh dear, what are we going to do? My grandson keeps asking for this every day!"

Then Duan Yu looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he quietly voiced his suggestion.

"Hey buddy, could you secretly save me a copy? I'll buy double later!"

"Anyway, it doesn't matter who we sell this milk to; the product belongs to the store, but we get the profits. Don't you agree?"

As he spoke, he winked, and Lu Changfeng's lips twitched involuntarily; he was still testing the waters.

If it weren't for his cheat-like abilities, he might have actually agreed. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Besides, he was too lazy to play house with this guy. Wouldn't it be better for him to just relax and enjoy the gossip? Why did he have to go on this incognito trip with this guy?

Thinking of this, he waved to the middle-aged man in front of him. Duan Yu raised an eyebrow at this, but still smiled and came over.

"Hey buddy, does that mean you agree?"

He thought his test had finally yielded results, but the next moment Lu Changfeng's voice rang in his ears.

"Assistant store manager, can you stop messing around? Going undercover is fine, but that's enough!"

Why are you staring at me all the time?!

Deng Deng Deng!

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu abruptly took two steps back, then looked around before approaching Lu Changfeng and whispering,

"When did you find out, you little brat?"

Haha, when did you find out? Of course, I found out from the very first time we met!

However, that wasn't the right way to put it. This guy was, after all, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, so they had to give him some face. They immediately made up a reason.

"Assistant store manager, you come here whenever you want, but it's always the same old routine. First, you say you're buying milk for your grandson or granddaughter, then you ask me to introduce you to the store because you're not familiar with it, and then you try to tempt me!"

"I've memorized this whole process!"

After hearing what he said, Duan Yu realized that it was indeed this kind of thing that had happened to him, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.

But who was he? A powerful expert in the late Foundation Establishment stage. So he immediately found a reason to justify his actions.

"Good, good, you're still very alert. Keep it up!"

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back, but his steps showed a hint of panic, as if he had been caught out.
