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

Meanwhile, Lu Changfeng was sitting at home, questioning the meaning of life.

God knows what he went through in the past two weeks.

Ever since he tricked Old Deng into crying, Old Deng has been clinging to him like a leech. Every morning, Old Deng would come over with a smile, bringing the food he had made, and watching him eat it with a kind expression.

When he got home in the evening, Lao Deng would greet him while showing him the newly bought video jade slip.

It would be fine for a day or two, but it's been half a month and he's still the same.

Now he felt a little scared.

Oh no, did we manage to fool Old Deng?

"Holy crap, is this move really that powerful?"

"That doesn't make sense. I already toned it down a lot back then. How could Old Deng's imagination be so vivid?"

"Should we go out and explain? Otherwise, we won't have a comfortable New Year celebration."

Although the concept of Chinese New Year doesn't exist in this world, Lu Changfeng does. He always feels that Chinese New Year is an exceptionally sacred day, after all, bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new is an old tradition.

However, after thinking about it, he decided to observe for a few more days. If he still hadn't recovered, then he would have to apologize.

After all, there are reasons for this as well.

After figuring this out, he promptly took a nap and went to work on time the next day.

As expected, after making inquiries from various sources and learning that Lu Changfeng had not asked for leave today, he arrived at the door early to wait. Even his favorite morning meeting was handed over to the two brothers, Passerby A and Passerby B, to host.

As the morning meeting ended and all the employees were preparing to return to their counters, Lu Changfeng finally arrived at the mall entrance on his scooter.

"Wuhu, looks like I'm not late today!"

Now he has complete control over his work hours, arriving neither early nor late, always hitting the perfect time.

Upon seeing Lu Changfeng arrive, Huo Chongwu immediately roared in anger.

"Lu Changfeng, you, you, you!"

Seeing how anxious he was, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but smile.

"Director Huo, what are you trying to do? You're not planning to touch me and then lie on the ground to extort my spirit stones, are you?!"

puff!

Immediately, some employees who had been secretly watching couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Goodness, no wonder he's Lu Changfeng; even they couldn't come up with such a reasoning when they were looking for trouble.

However, Huo Chongwu was so angry that his face turned red. How could he, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, need to extort spirit stones?

He immediately questioned him.

"Lu Changfeng, you said you were going out to investigate, but so much time has passed, and what are the results of your investigation?"

"With the annual meeting just around the corner, you need to produce results today, or I'll immediately report to higher-ups that you're doing nothing all day!"

"The mall won't tolerate a freeloader like you!"

Seeing how serious Huo Chongwu was, Lu Changfeng knew it was time to end things.

Let's start saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new one here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and then slowly spoke in front of everyone.

"Oh! Who do you think you are? I'm going to show you the results of my investigation!"

"You're just a manager in charge of day-to-day operations; all you're responsible for is managing those daily tasks!"

"But what I found out is all data related to various supplies. What good would it do you if I gave you the results?"

"So, can you bring in more supplies, or can you procure more types of resources?"

"Go ahead and say it?"

Huo Chongwu's face turned red and then pale with anger, but he clearly knew that what Lu Changfeng said was true. If he really found out something, why didn't he take all the credit and instead let himself benefit?

But Lu Changfeng's story wasn't over yet.

"You're always talking about doing this for the mall, but since I became the deputy director, I haven't seen you make any contributions to the mall!"

"Don't exaggerate when you talk about managing the daily operations of the staff. All the employees below have received training!"

"Don't they know what they're supposed to be doing? Do they need you to give them orders?"

"As for you, how many articles have you added to the employee handbook? How many problems have you helped employees resolve? No, you haven't done any of that. All you think about is how to find fault with me every day! You're utterly useless!"

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he laughed.

"Oh, wait, you actually are quite useful."

"Your only purpose is to be a clown, providing plenty of laughs for the entire mall!"

"This way, employees can find a little bit of joy in their work!"

"Why don't you quit being the director? It's such a waste of your abilities!"

"So you just hang a chain around your neck, stand at the door, and if someone teases you, you grin. I've even thought of a name for you: 'From a savage in a remote place!'"

"That way, you can just grin and show your teeth, and the customers will find it amusing. If you're happy, you might even get a tip for the bowl!"

At that moment, Huo Chongwu felt his heart pounding and the veins on his body bulging one after another. Then, he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words.

"Lu Changfeng, you've gone too far!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood after saying that.

Everyone gasped in shock upon seeing this.

They had always heard that some people could verbally kill others with just their words, and they thought it was a joke. But seeing this scene today has broadened their horizons.

You should know that Huo Chongwu was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, yet he was so angry at Lu Changfeng's few words that he vomited blood.

At that moment, everyone's gaze towards Lu Changfeng changed, and they quickly left, fearing that Lu Changfeng's tirade would drag them all into it.

They couldn't even stop Huo Chongwu, who was in the late stage of Qi Refining, so how could they, who were in the middle or even early stage of Qi Refining, possibly withstand him?

After everyone dispersed, Lu Changfeng looked at Huo Chongwu's two henchmen.

"You two carry him away for treatment, and while you're at it, clean this place up, you hear me?"

In this situation, how could the two of them dare to say no? They were afraid that they were living too comfortably!

"It's Director Lu, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement, then turned and entered the mall. It was Huo Chongwu who had offended him, and these two hadn't offended him, so he wouldn't let the conflict between him and Huo Chongwu affect others.

Half an hour later, while everyone else was working hard, Lu Changfeng found Su Qingzhu with his investigation report.

Since we're talking about market research, we have to do it. But since he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, a simple scan with his divine sense tells him pretty much everything.

"Wow, Lu Changfeng, you're famous now!"

Lu Changfeng didn't take Su Qingzhu's teasing too seriously. After all, Su Qingzhu was a funny person, but because of the Su family, she seemed a bit cold to outsiders.

"Sigh, it's all because that guy's always picking on me. I was just forced to fight back. Who told him to have such a weak mentality!"

"What kind of immortality can you cultivate without a firm Dao heart!"

Seeing his sophistry, Su Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh. After chatting for a while, he finally produced his investigation report.

"Second Manager, these are the conclusions I've drawn from my market research this month. You can take a look!"
