I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 601 What is a cultivator? (56)

Chen Yu went into seclusion, but the effects were still unfolding.

In Fuzhe City, Yan Dazui and his superiors waited anxiously for notification, unsure of the final outcome.

Although Yan Dazui said he could just go to Tianyuan to work in media, he still didn't really want to leave if he could.

Fukuzawa's journalistic and entertainment businesses are already well-established, allowing him to maximize his abilities here. He'd rather not leave unless absolutely necessary.

The leader paced back and forth nervously, having already finished half a pack of cigarettes, and was now picking up cigarette butts to smoke, making the office smoky and chaotic.

After uploading the "Interview about the Current Situation of Tianyuan", their content was quickly blocked, and the two were placed in solitary confinement and then suspended from their duties for reflection.

The higher-ups didn't say whether they would be dealt with or not, they just told them to wait, which left the two of them hanging in limbo, not knowing what would happen in the end.

After agonizing for a long time, the leader grabbed Yan Dazui and said, "How about we jump off the building?"

"If you want to jump, go jump yourself, don't drag me along!"

"It's too lonely to reincarnate alone, so come with me."

"We all said if all else fails we'll go to Tianyuan, what are you so nervous about! Show the same confidence you had when you released that video!"

"But I'm still scared! I'm a total coward. I don't even dare to go too far when I'm out doing illegal dream-related things. Why did I agree to do this with you in the first place? Oh dear, you've really put me through a lot!"

Yan Dazui glanced at his boss, who was so nervous he was about to cry, and realized that the man was really pathetic.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became heavy. A Foundation Establishment expert suddenly appeared and quietly watched the two of them.

Upon seeing this uninvited Foundation Establishment expert, the leader made a dying rat-like squeak and whispered, "Deputy Director, what brings you here?"

Ignoring the other party's question, the Foundation Establishment expert asked, "Which of you two is Yan Dazui?"

“Yes, that’s me,” Yan Dazui said immediately. “This is my superior.”

“I can be someone else,” the superior immediately raised his hand and said.

The Foundation Establishment expert glanced coldly at his superior, then snorted, "Then it's not. The punishment for your violation of uploading videos has been issued."

Although he had made preparations to go to Tianyuan, Yan Dazui still closed his eyes and held his breath.

"Although the two of you uploaded videos in violation of the rules, they will not be prosecuted as this is your first offense. Yan Dazui."

"Yes!"

"The video was well-shot, but the editing was a bit lacking. We discussed it and decided to set up a special team for an interview about the current situation of Tianyuan. You will be the team leader, and your superior will be your first team member. Your salary will be doubled, previous activity expenses will be reimbursed, and you will receive an extra month's salary as a bonus at the end of the month."

"Eh?"

"Not satisfied?"

"No, I'm very satisfied. But why..."

The Foundation Establishment expert chuckled softly: "Why are you being rewarded? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just remember the benefits you received. You were lucky this time; you bet on the right horse."

Then, the Foundation Establishment expert changed his tone and said coldly, "But next time, if you want to take risks, find your own way. Don't drag the TV station into betting everything, understand?"

The chilling tone felt like heavy stones pressing down on the two of them, making it hard for them to breathe. It took them a long time to nod and agree.

Seeing that everything had been explained, the Foundation Establishment expert smiled warmly and patted Yan Dazui on the shoulder, saying, "Don't be so nervous, you've done a great job. By the way, I actually admire President Chen. Could you introduce me to him sometime? Our TV station has some extra advertising space recently, and I'd like to ask if President Chen is interested in letting us use it for free for a month."

"A month? Usually it's only a few hours."

"Special cases require special handling, don't be so rigid. This matter is assigned to you, prioritize it." After saying that, the Foundation Establishment expert disappeared, leaving Yan Dazui and his former leader staring at each other in bewilderment.

The former leader reacted extremely quickly. As soon as he noticed Yan Dazui looking at him, he immediately brought over tea and drinks, and then asked obsequiously, "Hello, team leader!"

"...You reacted really quickly!"

"That's right, isn't this what you, the leader, are telling me to do? When do I start my work?"

"...Now then."

"Okay, I'll get started right away. Team leader, just watch me!"

Seeing the other person sticking out their buttocks and starting to work, Yan Dazui realized how great it was to have power.

However, this also proves that Chen Yu must have won a great victory on some battlefield, otherwise they wouldn't have received this treatment.

Sure enough, following President Chen was the right decision!

The winners begin to divide their rewards, while the losers begin to accept their punishments.

Although Cao Zhen and "Xu Zilong" withdrew relatively early, the losses incurred in the early stages were irreparable, amounting to as much as 100 million yuan, and were not reimbursable.

The financial loss is one thing, and the related damage to goodwill is another. The indirect losses are about three times the direct losses, but it's still better than losing everything.

Besides Chenghua, who is still suffering in the event instance, the temple of the Real Estate Star Lord is also facing its own reckoning.

Having lost the power of the Great Star Lord, His related industries began to shrink. The booming real estate market began to slump, and the housing prices that seemed to never fall yesterday began to be halved. Real estate developers began to go bankrupt one after another, and many people even went to the rooftop and fell to their deaths, dying tragically.

Their media organizations were broken up, and the original thirteen media outlets have now been reduced to only three, with their market share hanging by a thread.

Real estate tycoons have also gone into seclusion, many related industries have begun to decline, and the entire market is facing a reshuffle.

In the void, the outer god, still cloaked in the skin of the Earth Deity Star Lord, touched the wound on his back, his gaze fixed on Tianyuan, his eyes filled with resentment.

In Tianyuan, Chen Yu is an absolute hero.

But in the eyes of "Earth Deity," the other party is a demon who is hindering him.

The rise of Tianyuan will inevitably be accompanied by numerous challenges, and the revenge of "Earth Virtue Star Lord" is already brewing.

However, Chen Yu didn't care.

He was already lying in the company's break room, with a comfortable waterbed behind him and a warm blanket covering him.

Aromatherapy is burning in the room, soothing music is playing in the background, and fruits and snacks are readily available for you to pick and eat.

Although these things cannot free him from the torment of his physical body, they at least make him feel a little better.

"Come on, what will it be this time!"

Despite unleashing his power, Chen Yu fell into a dream in less than a second.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a fiery red sky above him, with three great suns swirling, spinning, and dancing in the air, scorching the earth.

He covered his head, feeling as if he had a very long dream.

In his dream, he became a monk in a later life, and then he was troubled by many things.

But what is a cultivator?
