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

The next day, Lu Changfeng arrived at the mall at the usual time, still smiling. As soon as he entered, Li Mingfei rushed over to him.

"Hiss! Brother Lu, why are you so late today! Aren't you afraid the assistant manager will give you a hard time?"

Faced with his concerns, Lu Changfeng smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, isn't this my usual time of day?"

"Besides, do they need a reason to punish us? Who knows, one day we might get punished just for entering the mall with our left foot first!"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. As long as you don't cause trouble, I guarantee you'll be fine."

"By the way, stay away from Deputy Store Manager Duan these next few days; he might not be in a good mood!"

As he spoke, Lu Changfeng's lips curled up so wide that even a truck couldn't run them over.

However, looking at his expression, Li Mingfei seemed to have thought of something, and then asked in a low voice,

"Hey, Brother Lu, do you have some special news here? Tell me quickly, I'll treat you to dinner if necessary!"

However, Lu Changfeng quickly shook his head, jokingly saying that doing it was one thing, but publicizing it was another.

"How would I know? He's a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, while I'm just a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. How could I possibly know about such important figures!"

Although Duan Yu often brought Li Mingfei along when he drank with him, the unlucky kid passed out during the confession session, so he still doesn't know that Duan Yu has actually drunk quite a lot with them.

But Li Mingfei didn't believe him. After all, you're laughing in front of others and saying this has nothing to do with you? How could that be!

"Then you'd better be careful, that Duan Yu doesn't seem like a good person!"

Lu Changfeng readily agreed.

"Don't worry, he won't dare do anything to me!"

Li Mingfei thought Lu Changfeng was just trying to annoy Duan Yu with some petty tricks, but to his surprise, Duan Yu was actually wearing an empty sleeve when he went to work.

This time, not only was he stunned, but everyone else in the mall was also stunned.

Didn't Duan Yu just defeat the store manager and successfully take power? How come he's become a one-armed hero today?

Who did this? Could it be that Manager Su dislikes him?

But Li Mingfei knew that Lu Changfeng was probably responsible for the severed arm!

Good heavens! He used to think that because he had the Prince of Jin as his father, he was the most powerful person in the world. But after coming to Tianxing City, he found that everything had changed.

It seems that among his connections, Lu Changfeng is the most powerful, as he doesn't even put a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in his eyes.

He was summoned for a reprimand that day, and the next day he lost an arm. That's how powerful he was!

The atmosphere in the operations department's large office was oppressive. They kept glancing at Li Mingyue and Liu Ping in the corner of the office, their eyes filled with fear, lingering apprehension, and even a hint of ingratiation.

Not to mention them, even Li Mingyue and Liu Ping were completely bewildered at first.

Yesterday, after learning that Lu Changfeng had been summoned to Duan Yu's office, they sensed something was wrong and thought they were about to be punished. Unexpectedly, the situation reversed just the next day.

Now they can hold their heads high!

As for the others, they involuntarily lowered their heads.

The powerful figure they relied on lost an arm. Although they didn't know who did it, they could tell from Lu Changfeng's smile when he went to work that Duan Yu's severed arm was definitely related to him.

Luckily, they didn't provoke those two, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died!

On the other side, Lu Changfeng had just sat down in his office when he was summoned to the presence of the second manager, Su Qingzhu.

"Lu Changfeng, is Duan Yu's matter related to you? Don't worry, I'm very discreet, it won't get out!"

He even gave me a look that said, "I'm just a bystander too, so don't try to hide it from me."

Lu Changfeng sneered at this, "Come on, I bet you immediately told Su Ziyuan with your divine sense as soon as I said it!"

"No, is there something wrong with the assistant store manager?"

"I just started working here, I didn't know!"

"Tell me about it too! You know I love gossip!"

Watching Lu Changfeng's clumsy performance, Su Qingzhu couldn't help but mentally complain, "Keep pretending! Everyone in the mall knows that Duan Yu's matter is related to you!"

However, since Lu Changfeng wouldn't admit it, there was nothing she could do.

However, this incident did damage Duan Yu's prestige, which was good news for Su Ziyuan's lineage.

"Fine, if you don't know, then forget it!"

"Luckily he only lost one hand, otherwise it would have been a serious problem!"

After leaving the second-in-command's place, no one came looking for him, so he decisively started slacking off in his office.

However, things weren't going so well for Duan Yu. He thought he could get rid of Lu Changfeng, that opportunist, but instead he lost an arm.

Now his entire arm has been stolen and burned to ashes. To recover, he can only buy powerful healing pills or hire a skilled healer.

However, neither of these two things is something he can do right now.

Thinking about this, he was filled with rage.

Damn Lu Changfeng, couldn't you just obediently wait to be dealt with? Why did you have to resist him!

However, the HR team can't do anything on their own right now, so they can only start working on the second floor.

If you can't handle Director Lu, can't you at least handle Store Manager Su?

So over the next few days, Duan Yu focused his attention on the second floor.

When the store first opened, the second floor was filled with items for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, so the people working there were all family members brought by Su Ziyuan herself, and naturally no one dared to betray her.

However, as the mall was able to resume normal operations, these people gradually returned home. Now, only a very small number of counter staff remain, while the rest are recruited employees.

Most importantly, the items on the second floor are where the mall makes the most of its profits. Often, a single item can cost several hundred to over a thousand spirit stones, and occasionally, items like Foundation Establishment Pills can fetch tens of thousands of spirit stones.

This gave Duan Yu an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

For the next period of time, Duan Yu and Su Ziyuan continued to fight each other on the second floor.

Although this time the situation was not one-sided, it still caused a significant drop in customer traffic on the second floor, and both sides immediately received warnings from headquarters.

Internal strife is acceptable, but it should never affect business.

The two gradually calmed down, but they would still fight, just not as obviously.

Just when everyone thought the two sides would continue to fight, problems arose on the day Yue Di was supposed to pay wages.

"What?! Why is my salary still only 50 spirit stones, the salary of a level 3 employee? Didn't the assistant store manager say we were going to get promotions and raises? Why is mine still the same? Everyone, check your salaries!"

His words startled the other employees, who immediately began checking. Unsurprisingly, no one's salary had changed.

This caused an uproar among them.

They supported Duan Yu in the hopes of getting a raise, but this whole thing turned out to be a waste of their time and their salaries didn't increase. Isn't this just playing them for a fool?

So this group of people immediately stormed into Duan Yu's office to demand an explanation!
