Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 332 Did you know we're keeping a ghost in our house?!
And that's when Connor was deceiving his people.

Jiang Chen also arrived at the Yaochi Holy Land.

it's here.

Li Wanjun and Ji Ruoyao had been waiting for a long time.

There's also Fu Yuechan.

However, Fu Yuechan was clearly outmaneuvered by Jiang Chen, standing aside like a lackey with a timid expression that dared not meet Jiang Chen's gaze.

It seems the main focus today should be on those two.

really
Seeing the ambiguous smiles on Ji Ruoyao and Li Wanjun's faces, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Something's not right here.

Especially when Ji Ruoyao put on that mournful, half-dead expression again, Jiang Chen knew he was in for trouble.

really.

The moment they opened their mouths, Jiang Chen felt like the sky was falling.

This time, not only Ji Ruoyao, but also Li Wanjun followed suit and learned that sarcastic and cryptic style.

Li Wanjun gently gathered her hair, her fingers twisting a plain white handkerchief:
"Oh my~ Our CEO Jiang is riding high these days, even the fairies from other worlds are all scrambling to get close to him."

"Last night, that succubus's screams were so loud that even the koi in the Jade Pool were so ashamed they sank to the bottom!"

At the end, she suddenly pretended to be sick and coughed, leaving red spots on her handkerchief.

Ji Ruoyao leaned against the railing of the winding corridor, her gaze sweeping sideways over Jiang Chen:

"I have always been an unlucky person, not as fortunate as those bright, winged beings who can flick their tongues."

As she spoke, she began to count the jade prayer beads:

"It's just a pity for Connor, who came all the way from the Western Fantasy Continent, only to be lured into bed by some people under the guise of in-depth cooperation."

She then threw the spiritual fruit she had picked up from the glass cup back at him.

“Look at this fruit. It’s covered in honey on the outside, but inside it’s poison.”

"Lilith also told me, 'Forget it, anyway, your Wan San Group can even attract fallen angels to 'attract investment,' so we old fogies should just move to Cihangzhai to become nuns.'"

what's the situation?
Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded.

How could they know so much?

Last night, I didn't even go back to the Ten Thousand Mountains or to my private villa; I stayed in my office!
They were beasts, after all.
But its confidentiality and privacy are absolutely impeccable!
And it seems they even managed to contact Lilith and the others through Douyin?
That can't be right, can it?
"actually."

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth:

"Actually, this is a long story. You've only seen the surface. In fact, the main reason I made such a big sacrifice was..."

He was abruptly interrupted by Li Wanjun before he could finish speaking:

"You made a sacrifice?"

"I wonder what kind of 'sacrifice' it is that requires President Jiang to personally 'venture into the tiger's den'? Is that succubus's whip still easy to handle? Is it perhaps more to your liking than the jade ruyi from Yaochi?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyao simply snapped her fan shut and said self-deprecatingly:

"Don't worry, Sister Li. Anyway, we 'old folks' can't compare to exotic customs."

"But when Lilith spoke to me privately, she mentioned something about a 'master-servant contract'."

Suddenly, she lightly touched her lips with the rib of her fan, feigning a moment of surprise:
"Yes, President Jiang's 'sacrifice' must be for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. She must be 'teaching by example' how Wan San Group treats its guests."

Jiang Chen:.
Why are these two saying such hurtful things?
"Actually, I really have my reasons."

The two Holy Lords glared at each other, wanting to see what kind of nonsense Jiang Chen, who had already been caught in the act of adultery, could come up with this time!
There was a pause.

Jiang Chen's expression was solemn, his fist clenched tightly in his sleeve, and he said in a deep voice:
"Are you two aware that the human race of the Western Fantasy Continent has developed the 'Dragon-Slaying Mech'?"

Dragon-slaying mech?

They really didn't know about this?
Seeing the two Holy Lords' confusion, Jiang Chen continued to explain just how terrifying the overall strength of the Western Fantasy Continent was.

"That Connor."

"Don't let her appearance fool you, she's actually a real dragon!"

Dragon clan?!
This news immediately unsettled the two Holy Masters, who were clearly unaware of it!

However, what they didn't know was...

Connor, this lizard dragon, is not even in the same league as the true dragon, one of the ten most ferocious creatures in their minds.

of course.

Jiang Chen couldn't possibly spell things out.

Instead, they intentionally or unintentionally guided the two Holy Lords to feel that the overall strength of the Western Fantasy Continent was much, much stronger than that of the Spirit Qi Continent!
Angels, demons, elves, and the incredibly evil goblins.
Anyway, we created a terrifying atmosphere for them.

The reason he sacrificed himself to feed the demon was mainly to exchange his physical body for the development space of the spiritual continent, so as to avoid being invaded by another plane.

To the end.

Jiang Chen sighed deeply:

"To be honest, I've never been afraid of death."

"But once the war starts, it will be far more significant than any battle between good and evil."

"In interdimensional wars, regardless of victory or defeat, countless innocent cultivators will die in both realms. In the end, I can't bear to see that happen."

The owls outside the window suddenly fell silent, as if they had been terrified by these hurtful words.

Is that so?
The two holy rulers understood to some extent, but at the same time, they were somewhat skeptical.

Let's just say.

When would Jiang Chen do a losing deal?
Moreover, they had seen Lilith's photos, and she was indeed a stunning beauty. How many men could resist the temptation of a succubus?

That's nice to say.

You must not have looked so heartbroken when you were having fun last night, right?
Seeing the disbelief of the two Holy Lords, Jiang Chen chuckled:
"Of course, I can't let myself suffer a loss. In fact, the Western Fantasy Continent is a great opportunity for us!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm asking you, things aren't going too well at Fire Refining Valley these days, are they?"

The two holy lords nodded.

"The nine shops you swallowed up—no, they're now called 'Conscience Shops'—are they also experiencing a decline in customer traffic?"

The two holy lords nodded again.

"Moreover, have many employees at Huolian Valley and Liangxin Shop developed resentment and resistance to their work? Especially among the lower-level employees?"

"Eh?"

The two Holy Lords looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

He was right about everything.

Not only do they resist working, but some employees even openly slack off.

"You're absolutely right, but what does all this have to do with the Western Fantasy Continent?"

"To understand the relationship between the two, you need to figure out why the grassroots general practice has become dissatisfied with your control."

The two holy lords pondered for a moment, then shook their heads, seemingly puzzled.

"We've been so good to them. All they have to do is tighten screws, and they can earn several thousand spirit stones a month. A few years ago, would those poor cultivators even dare to dream of that?"

"Yes, that's how we've always managed them. They were so grateful to us at first, but now they're resentful. They're completely ungrateful! A little kindness is appreciated, but too much will breed resentment!"

"Wanjun, I'll say it again: you're too soft-hearted. In my opinion, just arrest all those employees who were leading the way in slacking off and send them to mine! Let's see if the rest dare to complain!"

hiss.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but gasp.

Has even the Holy Lord lost himself in the pleasures brought by capital?
To know.

Their initial mindset was completely different.

As the leaders of the righteous path of humanity, they would at least consider Pu Xiu's feelings from his perspective.

Now they are completely on the opposite side of Puxiu.

Jiang Chen, unusually, lit a cigarette for himself and took several puffs before quietly speaking:

"Holy Lord, do you remember how you initially promised those cultivators? Especially those long-time employees?"

"Promise what?"

Ji Ruoyao's eyebrows stood up:

"I won't get angry if you don't mention the senior employees, but it's all the senior employees who are slacking off! These old hands are always thinking about slacking off. Not only do they slack off themselves, but they also use their seniority to lure new employees into slacking off together!"

"Uh"

Jiang Chen stubbed out the remaining half of his cigarette in the ashtray:
"If I remember correctly, you initially said that as long as they work hard and develop diligently, they can lead the way and achieve common prosperity."

"Once the industry scales up, everyone will get promoted and receive a raise, and those with seniority might even be transferred to branch factories as managers, right?"

It was clear that the two holy masters were somewhat embarrassed.

Jiang Chen continued:
"Moreover, although you have kept their salaries unchanged, you have overlooked the fact that the daily expenses of monks are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more places where they need to spend money."

"But their wages have remained stagnant. As a result, their actual living standards are far worse than before."

"This..." Li Wanyun rubbed her handkerchief, looking conflicted.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the maximum production capacity we can manage right now. Those who deserved promotion have already been promoted. Even if the remaining employees are capable, we don't have the space to accommodate them."

The two Holy Lords wanted to argue, but even if they wanted to ignore it, they had to admit that the cost of living on the Spirit Continent was indeed much higher than before.

Many goods have seen varying price increases, so Puxiu can choose not to make any purchases.

But under the relentless brainwashing on Douyin (TikTok), they have no choice but to buy many things.

Let me give you an example.

Does a monk's wedding cost a lot of money?
Wedding dress, diamond ring, roses, banquet, etc.

Each of these items represents a significant expense, and these cannot be omitted.

Nowadays, if you don't have a formal wedding, not only female cultivators but also male cultivators won't approve.

After getting married, you'll need to buy a house, right?
This is not only their love nest, but also their future haven of love for their family of three.

Speaking of a family of three.

And there are children.

This is a gold-devouring beast that has been consuming spirit stones continuously since birth.

Previously, raising a child in the Spirit Continent was very simple and required almost no expense.

In the early stages, I practiced cultivation with my parents.

When the time is right, you can join a sect, and after reaching the senior brother level, you can travel the world and meet your beloved Daoist partner.
It's better now.

New mothers inevitably discuss with other mothers what to feed their babies.

What does your child eat?
what?
Millet porridge and breast milk?

That won't do!
Don't you know that Wan San Group recently launched a new deep-sea fish oil?

It can not only nourish the brain, but also enhance children's immunity and learning talent!
Drinking only breast milk is not enough.

Wan San Group's maternal and infant department has a professional team that carefully formulates milk powder and a variety of complementary foods for babies, so that children can grow up stronger.

As the saying goes, there's no one better than a mother in the world.

As a mother.

How can you tolerate other people's children having things that your own child doesn't?
I finally made it through infancy.

We're almost at kindergarten.

The kindergarten's annual expenses are not high.

But just thinking about the elementary, middle, and high school years ahead makes these parents feel overwhelmed by the pressure.

This is just the child's expenses.

This new type of consumption, which was completely absent in the Spirit Continent before, is now flourishing in the market.

You can choose not to buy it, but you have no choice but to buy it.

Of course, Jiang Chen repeatedly emphasized that he was referring to the cultivation world.

correct.

It is worth mentioning that.

Regarding the business sector of maternal and infant products.

Yaochi and Dameng Holy Land hold a significant portion of the group's assets.

After all, the two holy lands have the most female cultivators, and the Yaochi Holy Land is entirely populated by female cultivators.

The products they recommend are subconsciously accepted by ordinary practitioners, especially female practitioners.

If their products hadn't been developed with such high investment and included many beneficial ingredients for infants, Jiang Chen would have intervened to stop them.

I've been listening to Jiang Chen complain for so long.

Ji Ruoyao and Li Wanjun both looked somewhat uncomfortable, but they had their reasons:
"But then again, we originally intended these products to be targeted at high-end female practitioners, but we overlooked the love that mothers have for their own children."

"Many mothers grit their teeth and are determined to raise their children, even if it means taking out loans."

"Besides, since your bank has launched a baby care loan, you might as well take advantage of it."

At this point, Jiang Chen, who had been named, also began to blush.

Say something.

He was indeed the one who proposed this heinous loan.

He just mentioned it casually.

The original intention was to make it easier for monks from disadvantaged families to raise their children.

Unexpectedly, this has now become one of the reasons for mothers to overspend.

"cough!"

Jiang Chen coughed lightly and said with great bravado:
"But now things are much better! As long as we open up the channels to the Western Fantasy Continent, every cultivator on our Spirit Qi Continent can live a prosperous and comfortable life!"

"Eh?"

"is it?"

Ji Ruoyao and Li Wanjun seemed to have heard Jiang Chen say this before, and more than once:
Is there any necessary connection between these two things?

However, Jiang Chen was full of confidence.

"Now I'll tell you why the cultivators of our Spirit Qi Continent can live a good life in the Western Fantasy Continent. Take what you said earlier, for example: the industry has reached its peak, and there's no extra space to accommodate talent."

"But what if we establish sales channels with the Western Fantasy Continent and dump our products there?"

What the hell!

The two holy lords were startled, then overjoyed!

Yes!

Why didn't they think of that?
As a blank market, the Western Fantasy Continent definitely has huge consumption potential!
This way.

They can then expand their factory area on the Western Fantasy Continent.

There's a new factory.

Then there must be a new factory manager and a new management team. Wouldn't that give the veteran employees hope for promotion?
There is hope.

They will definitely work hard to earn a promotion opportunity!
Will they be willing to give up then?

The two holy masters began to speak eloquently, their eyes filled with beautiful visions of the business blueprint, showing absolutely no desire to ascend to immortality.

Excellent!

It's not just that.

The emergence of new markets will also lead to a surge in production capacity, which would allow for a reasonable increase in wages for Pu Xiu.

"rise salary?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen urgently called for a halt:
"Wrong, wrong! You're wrong again!"

Why should wages be raised?

"Especially for ordinary repairmen, if their wages increase, won't the wages of supervisors also increase? What about managers? Senior executives? Factory directors?"

"You may seem to have given Pu Xiu a slight raise, but the actual cost is far greater than you imagine."

"To maintain market stability and protect the industry, we absolutely cannot raise Pu Xiu's salary."

No pay raise?

Ji Ruoyao hesitated:
"But even then, Puxiu's life will still be difficult, won't it?"

In this regard.

Jiang Chen already had a plan.

This time, he truly intends to make the cultivators of the Spirit Qi Continent truly superior to others.

“Once the sales channels between the two planes are opened, we can bring the natives of the Western Fantasy Continent over to work as slaves, making them do those hard, tiring, and low-paying jobs.”

“Our cultivators on the Spiritual Continent only work in high-end industries—the kind that are easy, not tiring, and pay well.”

"Doesn't that break the deadlock?"

As for these laborers...

Jiang Chen had already made his decision.

After appeasing the two holy lords and agreeing to stay at Yaochi for half a month, the incident last night was finally put to rest.

After finishing, Jiang Chen immediately made a video call to Huang Wansan:

"Huang Wansan!"

"You fucking have a ghost in your house, do you even know that?! You don't even know you've got a ghost in your house!"

"Bullshit! Someone definitely leaked the information, and it's someone close to me! Something's really fishy. I don't remember any other people's presence nearby last night."

"check!"

"Investigate this thoroughly!!!"

It is undeniable.

The Holy Lord is indeed incredibly alluring, but succubi have their advantages too!
How could Jiang Chen bear to give up the entire ocean for the sake of two lakes?
