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

In early June, the renovation of the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce, which had lasted for more than a month, was finally completed.

Early in the morning, Lu Changfeng received a notification from the crab boss that Manager Su would be giving a speech to all the employees today, but he knew that this was just the beginning of empty promises.

He learned from the crab owner that local forces had not reacted much in the past month, but most of the original employees had left due to the public opinion environment.

Su Ziyuan not only did not stop them, but she also gave them severance gifts even though they had never worked for her for a single day. Because of this, the reputation of Luoyun Chamber of Commerce is now excellent in private.

However, he was also curious. Regardless of the public opinion, the fact remained that employees had left. Now, anyone who knew even a little about the current situation wouldn't dare to come and work here. So, what would Manager Su do?

However, when he arrived at the destination, he was stunned by what he saw.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?"

The original two-story building has been transformed into a large four-story building with gleaming windows that shimmer in the sunlight, and white walls that stand out starkly against the surrounding architecture.

Entering the store was an eye-opener for him. Unlike traditional stores where the counter is right at the entrance, the interior was more like an underground shopping street, with small sections on both sides specializing in a particular type of product.

Just by looking at the checkout counter at the entrance, you can tell that this business model is more similar to that of a modern supermarket.

Now he finally understood why the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce had developed so quickly. Strength was one aspect, but another was the high-end environment it provided.

This is like going to the most luxurious shopping mall in the area before you travel back in time. Even if you buy some cheap things, you still have face to show off!

A little vanity combined with reasonable prices can easily cultivate loyal customers.

At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the corridor. He recognized some of them, while others were strangers. Most importantly, many of them were looking around with gleaming eyes, their gazes shifty and suspicious.

He quickly found Xie Zhixing by following the crowd.

Good morning, Mr. Crab!

Upon seeing that it was Lu Changfeng, Xie Zhixing smiled and nodded, then asked in a cheeky tone,

"How's it going, Xiao Feng? Were you scared by the environment here?"

He honestly nodded and admitted that he was indeed surprised, but not in the way he had imagined.

Lu Changfeng immediately asked in a low voice,

"Boss Crab, what's going on with these people? A lot of them look unfamiliar to me, and their expressions are kind of... well, you know!"

"In short, I have a bit of a 'stealing' feeling about me."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhixing almost burst out laughing.

It's clearly a true description, but it's just a little funny, why is that?

However, Lu Changfeng could see it, so why couldn't this old guy see it?

But there's no way I could remind her. This was Su Ziyuan's own doing, and reminding her would not only be pointless but also annoying.

They're just employees now, why should they worry so much about their boss!

Then he quietly began to introduce it to Lu Changfeng.

"They are indeed not from Tianxing City, but were brought by Manager Su from a nearby cultivation market. They are relatively less influenced by local forces!"

"We mainly manage the alchemy counter and the weapon-refining counter—these are the popular businesses!"

"As for us, even if you hadn't said anything, we would most likely have been assigned here anyway."

I understand, I understand.

These locals have connections; if she were an undercover agent, they could easily send her away in one fell swoop!

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked,

"By the way, we're all on the first floor, so what about the floors above us?"

Xie Zhixing shrugged.

"The second level involves bribing Foundation Establishment stage cultivators; as for the third and fourth levels, I don't know."

As the two chatted, time passed by, and the number of people in the corridor increased, reaching nearly a hundred by a rough count.

Su Ziyuan finally descended the stairs and appeared before the crowd, dressed in a deep red cheongsam.

Despite their striking figures, they exude a serious yet inexplicably intimidating aura, making them seem devoid of worldly desires and giving others a strange feeling of unconsciously obeying their commands.

Looking at the nearly one hundred people in front of her, Su Ziyuan remained calm and waited until the crowd had completely quieted down before she spoke.

"Everyone, I am Su Ziyuan, the store manager of the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce's Tianxing City branch. You can call me Store Manager Su or Manager Su, it's up to you!"

"The rumors and gossip around us have led many people to resign, but I haven't stopped them!"

"This applies not only to them, but also to you. If one day you feel threatened, or simply don't want to work for me anymore, I won't stop you! Parting ways amicably is the true principle of doing business!"

"But since you've all stayed here, it means you trust me, Su Ziyuan, and I can't let you down!"

"All employees' benefits will be increased by one level."

Many people gasped in surprise, and even Lu Changfeng's eyes lit up.

The Luoyun Chamber of Commerce has divided job levels into employee level, deacon level, and store manager level.

He was originally a level three employee, earning 50 spirit stones a month, but now he has been promoted to level two, which means his monthly salary will be 150 spirit stones.

If you are promoted to a first-class employee, you will receive 500 low-grade spirit stones per month.

What he needs most is a salary, so how could he not be excited now that his salary has increased?

He couldn't even imagine how quickly his strength would improve with such a high salary; it seemed he had made the right choice by joining the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce.

After the scene quieted down a bit, Su Ziyuan dropped another bombshell.

"Furthermore, at the end of the year, everyone will vote to select five outstanding employees."

"First place winner receives a Foundation Establishment Pill and one additional purchase slot; second and third place winners each receive one Foundation Establishment Pill; fourth and fifth place winners each receive one additional purchase slot!"

hiss!

As Su Ziyuan announced the reward, everyone present gasped in astonishment.

Foundation Establishment Pill! This is a Foundation Establishment Pill! Even the Heavenly Star Sect doesn't provide this for free. If you're a rogue cultivator, you might not be able to buy it even with spirit stones.

But now, as long as they work hard, they have a chance to get it, and not just one, but five spots.

If they can get first place, they can keep one for themselves and sell the other spot, which will bring in a large sum of spirit stones.

A promotion, a raise, and the Foundation Establishment Pill they've always dreamed of—who could resist that?

At the same time, they vowed in their hearts that they would fight to the death as long as they didn't die!

Seeing the employees below the stage looking like they were about to get fired up, Su Ziyuan on the stage smiled slightly. But after explaining the benefits, she also had to give them a good talking-to!

"Quiet!"

As Su Ziyuan's voice rang out, the previously lively atmosphere instantly quieted down.

"I've given you the benefits, but if you dare to betray me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"While our Luoyun Chamber of Commerce values ​​harmony above all else, we will not hesitate to take drastic measures if a traitor emerges!"

Su Ziyuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone, and the atmosphere that was about to ignite cooled down considerably.

No one had any objections to this.

After all, traitors are despicable under normal circumstances, let alone when there are so many benefits involved.

"Very good. Let's begin employee training now. The Luoyun Chamber of Commerce will officially open in three days!"
