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

Originally, Tianxing City was similar to an ancient city, with courtyards as the main buildings, and occasionally buildings like Luoyun Shopping Mall.

But now, as far as the eye can see, there are mostly three-story buildings, though occasionally there are some six- to twelve-story high-rises scattered around.

The road was bustling with pedestrians, and people would stop to watch from time to time. Many children dressed in fine clothes couldn't help but stick their heads out of the carriages and look around in amazement, but they were still talking about the spirit-testing competition.

Upon seeing these people, Lu Changfeng suddenly realized what was going on.

"I was wondering why the reconstruction of Tianxing City was so fast this time; it turns out the annual Spirit Testing Conference is just around the corner!"

It's not that he's not paying attention; it's just that once you start working, time flies by, and before you know it, a year has passed.

Upon arriving at Luoyun Shopping Mall, Lu Changfeng looked it over and concluded that there were not many changes overall.

First, the building height has increased from four stories to six stories, and the floor area has also increased significantly.

At this moment, a group of people were already standing in the mall. They were all the staff from various counters, and they were now gathered in twos and threes to discuss the changes in Tianxing City.

However, as soon as Lu Changfeng arrived at the mall, he was summoned to Su Qingzhu's presence, along with Huo Chongwu.

Then she explained why she had summoned the two men.

"There are only two things I wanted to tell you!"

"First of all, the mall's reconstruction is almost complete. Because the area has increased significantly, we need to recruit a lot of employees. At the same time, we need to determine how many people left this time."

"Lu Changfeng, this is your responsibility. I need you to recruit at least 70% of the vacancies within three days! The mall officially opens in seven days, and I don't want any problems to arise in this area!"

Lu Changfeng nodded.

"I see!"

Although the wages at Luoyun Mall are very high, there are always some people who want to leave, especially after the strange and rampaging incident. It's perfectly normal for some people to leave!

Then Su Qingzhu looked at Huo Chongwu.

"Huo Chongwu, you won't be idle either,"

"Because Tianxing City was destroyed once, although it has been rebuilt on the surface, the original order has not been fully restored. However, there are too many people attending the Spirit Testing Conference, so we need to take care of distributing some of the boxed meals!"

"Since the renovations are still ongoing, you can arrange for the remaining staff and butlers to distribute boxed lunches around the area!"

Huo Chongwu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, mission accomplished!"

His voice betrayed his barely suppressed excitement as he spoke.

He was almost scared out of his wits by Lu Changfeng before. Although he recovered a lot in the following months, his legs would still go weak if Lu Changfeng was around.

Fortunately, Lu Changfeng was in charge of other matters this time, so it wouldn't affect him.

He needed to take this opportunity to establish his authority as the head of the operations department.

Then Lu Changfeng started working with Li Bing.

Recruiting is actually very simple. Just give a brief introduction and a lot of people will come to apply. After all, who in the local area doesn't know that the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce pays very high salaries?

However, the problem is that recruiting under these circumstances will definitely be troublesome. In order to avoid disrupting his upcoming slacking-off life, he naturally needs to conduct a screening process.

Fortunately, after three busy days, all the loopholes were finally filled, and he could officially slack off.

But to his surprise, early that morning, while Lu Changfeng was looking at the pretty girls on the street from the window, there was a knock on his office door.

When I opened the door, I found Xie Zhixing standing in the hallway outside!

"Uncle Xie, what brings you here? Please, have a seat!"

Because the shopping mall expanded, Lu Changfeng's office space changed from a cubicle to a truly independent office, which could be described as a comfortable and sophisticated space.

Although he didn't know why Xie Zhixing wanted to see him, he still cheerfully handed him a cup of tea.

"Come, come, have some tea!"

Xie Zhixing did not refuse, and after taking a sip of tea, he explained his purpose.

"Xiao Feng, I'm here to resign, and I was just wondering if you could hire Xiao Duo as a helper?"

After listening, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Uncle Xie, is that all? You don't even need to resign."

"Bring her over tomorrow, I'll personally guide her onboarding!"

The "Xiao Duo" that Xie Zhixing was talking about was actually his eldest daughter, who was only one year younger than him. Getting her to work as a junior employee would be a piece of cake for him.

But Xie Zhixing shook his head.

"No, I absolutely have to resign. I can't let those two brats get any more benefits!"

Hearing him say that, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but frown.

"Uncle Xie, what happened?"

He had noticed that Xie Zhixing was not in a good mood before, but Xie Zhixing didn't say anything so he couldn't ask. Now that he had the chance, he had to ask him properly.

Xie Zhixing remained silent for a long time afterward, then sighed heavily.

"Xiao Feng, I've watched you grow up, so I won't hide it from you anymore!"

"This is roughly what happened!"

Xie Zhixing then explained the whole story.

Simply put, because his eldest son didn't have spiritual roots, Xie Zhixing bought him a courtyard early on so he could get married and have children. His second son and Xie Duo did have spiritual roots, so Xie Zhixing earned spirit stones to buy resources for them to cultivate.

At first, everything was fine, but later, as Xie Zhixing bought more and more spirit stones for his second son and Xie Duo, he became unhappy. He felt that although he did not have a spiritual root, Xie Zhixing should at least be fair.

But the second son was also unhappy. He thought that his eldest brother didn't have any spiritual roots, so why did he need so many spirit stones? Xie Duo would get married sooner or later, so the family's resources should be used for his own benefit.

Because the eldest brother didn't have any spiritual roots, he never felt very confident until his son was found to have spiritual roots, which completely shattered the original peace.

As a result, the eldest and second eldest sons are constantly causing trouble.

At this point, Xie Zhixing sneered.

"So I made a decision: if that's the case, then I'm quitting! That's fair to everyone!"

"Let them figure out their own cultivation methods from now on!"

"As for me, after being so busy for so long, it's time to enjoy my retirement!"

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng gave a thumbs up.

"It has to be you, Uncle Xie!"

"Don't worry, leave Xiaoduo to me. I guarantee she won't have any problems!"

Having received Lu Changfeng's assurance, Xie Zhixing smiled.

"Alright, then it's up to you!"

Xie Zhi left, but he left happily.

The next day, Lu Changfeng was waiting at the door early in the morning.

Not long after, a girl with a slightly chubby face and a worried expression walked over. Upon seeing Lu Changfeng, her gloom vanished, and she rushed towards him.

"Brother Lu! I missed you so much!"

However, before she could even get close, Lu Changfeng reached out and grabbed her by the back of her collar, lifting her up in the next instant.

Xie Duo, who had been dragged away, immediately puffed up her cheeks in anger.

"Brother Lu, can you put me down? There are so many people watching!"

Hearing her say that, Lu Changfeng laughed too.

"You know it's shameful, yet you still pounce on me?"

"Hehe, it's just that I'm excited because it's been so long since we last met!"

"Alright, you're awake. Uncle Xie already told you, right? Now that you're here, get to work! Don't think about anything else, understand?"

"knew!"
