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

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng also laughed. Although he didn't know why Duan Yu hadn't fulfilled the requirements, he enjoyed watching the spectacle!

So he decisively and secretly carried a small stool and sat on the third-floor corridor, eating sunflower seeds while watching the employees below block Duan Yu's office.

At this moment, a woman also secretly approached Lu Changfeng's side.

"Give me some sunflower seeds too!"

Turning my head, I saw a woman I didn't recognize.

Ah!

Are we that close? Why are you asking for sunflower seeds right away?

However, upon closer inspection with the Starry Eyes, lo and behold, it was none other than our socially awkward and hilarious Su Qingzhu! She had also followed Duan Yu's method, transforming herself to come and watch the drama unfold.

You should have said you were the second-in-command earlier; these mere melon seeds are nothing to worry about.

"Hehehe, Second Manager, here you go!"

Su Qingzhu wasn't surprised that Lu Changfeng had discovered her, so she simply took a handful of melon seeds and the two of them started eating them.

"Second Manager, what's going on? Why wouldn't Duan Yu increase the wages of his subordinates?"

Lu Changfeng immediately asked this question.

Since you've eaten your own melon seeds, how can you not answer some of your own questions?

Clearly, Su Qingzhu was also in dire need of someone to share with, so she didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Hehehe, paying salaries has always been my job in logistics, when did it become his responsibility!"

"Isn't he supposed to be awesome? Isn't he supposed to be arrogant? Didn't he say he was going to give all employees a raise?"

"In that case, the shopping mall will only pay their original wages, and will not be responsible for any promises made. They can go find whoever they want."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. He can't fulfill his promise, so today is the day he'll explode!"

At this moment, Su Qingzhu was delighted. But thinking about it, it made sense. Su Ziyuan's faction had indeed been suppressed for a long time in the past few months. First, they were stripped of half of their power in the mall, and then they had a mixed outcome in the matter on the second floor.

They desperately needed a win, and today was clearly their first.

Hearing her say that, Lu Changfeng also continued reading with great interest.

At this moment, Duan Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer, pushed open the office door, and walked out.

His face darkened immediately upon seeing the corridor full of employees.

"What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Why are you staying here instead of going to work?"

The employees, who had been filled with righteous indignation, were immediately taken aback by this powerful aura. Just as they were about to back down, several people in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Of course we're not here to work, we're here to get our wages! Assistant store manager, didn't you promise us a raise?"

"Why is everyone's salary still the same as before, without any change!"

Once someone started, the rest followed suit.

"Yeah, didn't we agree on this before? Why aren't you keeping your promise? Assistant store manager, your words are just empty promises!"

"That's right, that's right, you have to give everyone an explanation today!"

"We want our wages! We want our wages!"

The entire hallway immediately became noisy.

Duan Yu was immediately annoyed by the noise, but he couldn't say anything to these people, since he had indeed promised to give them a raise, but he hadn't actually done so.

He could only curse inwardly.

Damn ants, damn Su Ziyuan, damn Lu Changfeng.

But there was no other way; he had to deal with these people, so he could only suppress his anger and explain.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Actually, I'd like to give everyone a raise, but Manager Su didn't agree to my request, so there's nothing I can do!"

"Why don't we all go ask Manager Su?"

His words sparked a wave of interest among the crowd, but before they could actually act, Su Ziyuan gracefully made her entrance in that familiar bright red cheongsam.

"Hey, no need to look anymore, I'm here!"

Immediately, all eyes fell on Su Ziyuan.

"Deputy Store Manager Duan is mistaken. Promotions and salary increases in the mall have always had established rules,"

"What's the reason behind this round of promotions and raises for everyone? Did they achieve some major sales target? Or did they accomplish something almost impossible?"

"You can't just open your mouth and push all the responsibility onto me! Everyone understands the principle that whoever makes a promise is responsible for it. Now you all know who to turn to, right?"

The ordinary employees were all moved by Su Ziyuan's words and looked at Duan Yu.

Faced with this situation, Duan Yu was also at a loss for words.

After all, he had just used similar methods to force Su Ziyuan to hand over some of her power not long ago, and now this same trick had backfired on him.

But there was no other way; he could only try to calm the person down first. So he immediately spoke up.

"Everyone, calm down. I will definitely keep my promise!"

"But this isn't a small amount of spirit stones. Give me some time, and I will definitely distribute it as a bonus!"

"I swear by my own faith!"

After saying that, he immediately thought to himself, "I've already sworn an oath with my Dao heart, so there shouldn't be any problems now!"

As expected, once the conversation had reached this point, the employees finally withdrew.

Although Duan Yu defused the farce, Su Ziyuan and the others were all very happy.

On the one hand, this sum of spirit stones is not a small amount, and on the other hand, he had previously promised a promotion and a raise. In other words, if he receives a bonus this month, he will also receive a bonus next month.

Unless we completely take control of Luoyun Shopping Mall and give everyone a genuine raise, which would allow us to use public funds,

Otherwise, he would be like a donkey carrying a heavy burden, and in the end, there would only be one outcome for him: death!

But Duan Yu had no other choice. He promised him that he could continue for a while longer, but if he didn't make that promise, problems would arise now.

After the commotion ended, Lu Changfeng happily returned to his office, clutching a handful of sunflower seed shells.

For the next period of time, Duan Yu remained completely silent. However, according to information revealed by people around him, he is currently using various channels to collect spirit stones.

But to everyone's surprise, in just three days, Duan Yu actually managed to raise 110,000 low-grade spirit stones. So that very day, he took the spirit stones he had raised and began distributing them to his employees one by one.

Soon, the bonus distribution event arrived at Lu Changfeng's office.

At this moment, Duan Yu took out a storage bag and placed it in front of Lu Changfeng with gritted teeth.

"Here's your bonus!"

"I really didn't expect that your salary would be the same as mine, Lu Changfeng. I really underestimated you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng immediately opened the app, glanced at it, then slowly put it away. He then looked at Duan Yu with a smile.

"Yes, that's right, it's indeed five thousand spirit stones!"

"However, my position as assistant store manager was earned through hard work and dedication; every step I took was a testament to my hard work!"

"This is simply what I deserve!"

"Come, come, have some tea!"

Just kidding, they're here to give you money. Even if the relationship between the two sides is terrible, you should at least put on a smile at this time.

But Duan Yu saw this as mockery, but there was nothing he could do; Lu Changfeng's current employee rank was something he had climbed up step by step.

Even if he wanted to find fault, he couldn't find any mistakes!

But if you want to leave, you should give the storage bag back!

He's so poor he's practically urinating blood. He has to be careful with every spirit stone he spends, and a single storage bag costs about ten spirit stones.

However, Lu Changfeng acted as if he hadn't seen anything and looked at Duan Yu with a puzzled expression.

"Is there anything else, Deputy Store Manager Duan?"

In the end, Duan Yu left without getting the storage bag back.

I was so angry!
