Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 155 The Triumphant Business Boss
Shen Luo couldn't answer this question, and Cheng Mai didn't seem to want an answer either, so there was no follow-up after asking.

When they returned to Xuanhe, the company was still busy. Without Xuanji causing trouble, their recruitment went much more smoothly.

Cheng Mai stopped Hu Hu, who was busy going to an interview, and asked, "Where's the boss?"

Hu Hu was so busy she barely had time to breathe, and her usually vain face wasn't even properly made up. She was also a bit irritable at the moment.

"No, no, I'm so busy! Mr. Cheng, at first no one came for interviews, but now there are just too many... I think..."

Feeling guilty, Cheng Mai released the person. Before Hu Hu could finish speaking, the person had already run far away. She was guilty for making such a beautiful woman look so disheveled.

"Hey, Mr. Cheng," Hu Hu called out.

"Soon, very soon, I'll have Shen Luo find you an administrative assistant right away, you just wait." Cheng Mai shouted, quickly entering Shang Xingjian's office and slamming the door shut.

Shang Xingjian was still playing games when he heard the noise and looked up at Cheng Mai.

"You didn't even get the money and you got chased by a ghost?" Otherwise, you wouldn't be so scared.

Cheng Mai rolled his eyes. "How can something a cultured person does be considered a lie?"

Shang Xingjian continued playing the game, "So, did you borrow the money?"

Cheng Mai: "..." This person always knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

After being knocked out in a game, Shang Xingjian put away his phone and stood up. "Come with me somewhere."

Cheng Mai didn't refuse and followed Shang Xingjian, "Aren't you going to ask me what Cheng Ming and I talked about?"

Shang Xingjian raised an eyebrow slightly, "They don't even have the money. Borrowing it doesn't seem to be going very smoothly."

Cheng Mai wanted to hit someone, "Do you know that the Creator God has appeared in the world?"

Merchant Jian didn't stop walking, but just scoffed, "The Twelve True Gods haven't completely perished yet, so where did this Creator God come from?"

Cheng Mai followed closely behind, "Shang Xingjian, you must know him, right? You're still trying to lie to me at a time like this? Cheng Ming already told me."

"How can you trust someone who can't even help themselves?"

Cheng understood perfectly; he knew this person was also aware of what they had been talking about.

Genga no Shinjun, who knows all things in heaven and earth, truly lives up to his reputation.

"That's amazing! Why don't you tell me the winning numbers for the next big draw, so I can make hundreds of millions in one go?" Cheng Mai kicked Shang Xingjian. "Where are you going?"

"Find someone."

"A new supreme deity?" Cheng Mai became more interested this time and quickly caught up to ask, "Who is it this time?"

The two went out and got into the car. Old Liu took the initiative to drive, without Shang Xingjian needing to tell him the destination.

Shang Xingjian looked at Cheng Mai with great interest, "Xuantian Temple."

"Huh?" Cheng Mai's excitement was instantly dampened. "Didn't we already use this map?"

If there truly is a supreme being, why wait until now?

"Look at your hypocritical face, can you be any faster?" Shang Xingjian pinched her cheek and clicked his tongue, "This feels so good."

Cheng Mai slapped his hand away. "I'm serious with you. Are you kidding me?"

Merchant Jian chuckled softly, "You'll know when we get there, won't you?"

Cheng Mai wanted to slap Shang Xingjian across the face whenever he saw his smug expression that said, "I know everything, and you bunch of idiots know nothing."

Old Liu drove in silence, pretending he was deaf.

The curse bell on Cheng Mai's wrist vibrated slightly because of her movement, and Cheng Mai raised her hand to press it down. Shang Xingjian glanced at it and then looked away. "Just listen to Qing Fan's words, and just listen to mine. Once you regain your memories, you will naturally have the answer to how to choose."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian again and said, "Shang Xingjian, I've heard that we don't get along."

“I’ve already said it’s just a rumor, and rumors are all false,” Shang Xingjian said with a slight smile.

"Alright, judging by your smug smile, it seems like it's probably true."

Shang Xingjian immediately stopped smiling.

"You're so determined to find my memories, there must be the answers you're looking for in them, Shang Xingjian, what do you want to ask?" Cheng Mai looked intently into Shang Xingjian's eyes, not allowing him to look away.

Shang Xingjian did not dodge, and met her gaze.

He only looked at it for a moment before putting it away, saying, "It's more interesting to find the answer yourself; asking about it is pointless."

Cheng Mai wanted to slap Shang Xingjian a few times because of his irritating attitude.

"They're just some emotions that have nothing to do with the current situation; they're just my own obsessions," Shang Xingjian said slowly, as if he were truly just fixated on an answer.

Cheng Mai observed him for a long time but couldn't discern anything else. Shang Xingjian was indeed a talented person.

Shang Xingjian seemed to have figured out what Cheng Mai was thinking, and his smile brightened considerably.

"However, I'm a generous person, so feel free to ask me anything you want, otherwise..." Shang Xingjian paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Otherwise what?" Cheng Mai retorted.

"It's nothing. Think carefully about what you want to ask."

Cheng Mai's gaze toward Shang Xingjian grew increasingly inquisitive, but before he could discern anything, they had already arrived at Xuantian Temple, which had been renamed Xuanhe Temple.

When Shang Xingjian arrived at the door, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he looked at the incense inside, where the deity Xuanhe was still being worshipped.

"With such a thriving incense offering service, how could they be short of money?"

Before Shang Xingjian could finish speaking, Cheng Mai kicked him inside, saying, "You talk too much."

Shang Xingjian steadied himself, not angry at all, and seemed to be in a good mood. Old Liu couldn't bear to look; his boss was really worthless.

Once Shang Xingjian had steadied himself, Sanze arrived with several of his junior disciples.

“Xuan…” Sanze said, a smile playing on his lips, “Boss Shang is here? Hello, Mr. Cheng.”

Cheng Mai nodded slightly.

"Boss Shang, why did CEO Cheng suddenly come over?" In just a few months, Sanze seemed to have grown up overnight and was no longer the child who would cry loudly in fear.

"Go take a walk in the back mountain, you just do your thing." Shang Xingjian's gaze remained fixed on his surroundings, suggesting that it wasn't just a simple trip to the back mountain.

Cheng Mai knew what he was thinking; wasn't he just trying to show off how popular he was among the living?

But Cheng Mai didn't give him the chance to show off, and directly dragged him to the back mountain.

If you're going to get things done, do it properly. What's with the show-off?
The back mountain is much cleaner than before, and the miasma has been cleared away.

Previously, the merchant had someone set up a barrier here that could connect to Cloud City. One of the reasons he came today was to check on the connection.

Cheng Mai followed Shang Xingjian into the barrier, which was still a void, a vast expanse of white.

Shang Xingjian raised his hand, seemingly reciting a spell, and the white mist inside dissipated.

Cheng Mai looked at the mountains and rivers before him, winding and stretching to the horizon. But Cheng Mai knew that this place connected to Cloud City, a place reserved for the future survival of the Spirit Realm.

Cheng Mai couldn't help but look at Shang Xingjian again. He could create a new world with a flick of his wrist. If someone with such powerful abilities was planning something, it must be something that would truly lead to annihilation.
