Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

If Zhou Fengliu were truly heartless, he could have simply let Chen Duo continue to ask Feng Baobao for money, letting Chen Duo experience the darkness of society and learn what it means to "pass the buck."

However, Zhou Fengliu is still very principled, and Chen Duo did indeed contribute this time.

"I'll give you three thousand." Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment and prepared to give Chen Duo a huge sum of three thousand.

“Okay…” Chen Duo nodded.

After dealing with Chen Duo, Zhou Fengliu went out and headed straight for Zhang Lingyu's location.

Watching Zhou Fengliu's departing figure, Chen Duo held a stack of red bills, her gaze falling upon them once more.

Including the time she helped Ma Xianhong with his work before, this is the second time she has managed to earn money through her own abilities.

Although it's not much, it's a good start.

As long as she follows Zhou Fengliu's teachings diligently, given time, she can increase the cost of her courses and raise prices accordingly, allowing her to grow her business significantly and achieve even greater success...

...

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu was dressed in coarse linen clothes and sitting in the pedestrian underpass.

Beside him was a broken wooden board with the words "fortune telling" written on it.

Despite his disheveled appearance, his charisma still made him seem like a hidden gem, captivating everyone's attention at first glance.

Several women in their thirties were surrounding him, occasionally taking photos with their phones.

"Little master, can I have a look?" One of the young women reached out her hand to Zhang Lingyu.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyu remained silent for a second, then nodded. After watching for a while, he began to speak some real things.

Having a renowned disciple of the Celestial Master read one's palm is a rare opportunity even within the Celestial Master's Mansion, yet these women have obtained it so easily.

Although Zhang Lingyu was saying some very true things, they were too true for the women to understand. They clearly wanted to hear more about things like love, money, and fortune.

However, they didn't ask Zhang Lingyu for a refund because they couldn't understand. They liked Zhang Lingyu's shy and slightly embarrassed expression when she couldn't answer, which they found rather cute.

...

"call--"

After a moment.

Having finally shaken off the group of women, Zhang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and calmed himself down. Before he could even stand up and stretch his body, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

"Oh my, isn't this Ah Yu Zhenren? It's only been a few days, how come you've become a friend of young married women?"

"???"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Lingyu was startled at first, but then quickly realized who the voice belonged to.

Zhou Fengliu.

The man he would never forget...

He tried to run away, but Zhou Fengliu grabbed him.

"Still trying to run away... What? Are you so afraid of seeing me?" Zhou Fengliu stopped Zhang Lingyu and asked.

"I...no, I just...don't know how to see you." Zhang Lingyu sighed, looking somewhat lost.

"Damn it... It's only been a short time since we last met, why are you acting like a woman, all shy and hesitant? Where's the way you were when you saw me before?"

Zhou Fengliu was somewhat surprised that Zhang Lingyu had this kind of face, which truly shocked him.

You should know that ever since he became an Outcast and saw Zhang Lingyu again, Zhang Lingyu always had an attitude of "I will definitely make you pay for your shame".

"You! Never mind, you've always been this irresponsible..."

Zhang Lingyu shook her head, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What am I here for? I've come to have my fortune told."

Zhou Fengliu pointed to the broken wooden board placed next to Zhang Lingyu and answered.

"Fortune telling? Are you serious?" Zhang Lingyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"hold head high."

"I've analyzed your birth chart."

Zhang Lingyu stated that when he first met Zhou Fengliu, Zhou Fengliu had already asked him to do a fortune telling.

"It's not on my tab..."

"Then who should it be?"

"Let me calculate it for you."

Zhou Fengliu glanced at Zhang Lingyu and then said:

"Let's see when you can change your stubborn personality."

"..."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Lingyu remained silent for a moment, without replying.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. He just tricked me once, didn't I say it's nothing? Why are you still arguing about it..."

Zhou Fengliu made a rant about what happened back then.

The mention of this suddenly brought Xia He, this woman, back into his mind.

He hasn't heard much from Xia He lately... and Xia He hasn't bothered him either.

“I know, I just can’t get over it myself…” Zhang Lingyu said.

Hearing this, Zhou Fengliu also felt a bit of a headache about Zhang Lingyu's personality.

He had accidentally taken her to see the world and deflowered her, a trauma she couldn't overcome. Now, having finally managed to trick him, she still couldn't get over it...

Life doesn't have to be so full of hardships... Why does it have to be so tiring?

Zhou Fengliu shook his head and then made the arrangements:

"Alright, that's good now. The old Celestial Master kicked you out, right? You're not a Celestial Master's disciple anymore. Just hang out with me for a while, and I'll find you a job. It's better than being harassed here telling fortunes."

“…” Zhang Lingyu.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Zhou Fengliu said something, and then prepared to walk out of the underground pedestrian passage.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu hadn't followed, he turned back and pointed at Zhang Lingyu:

"Master Ayu, are you still planning to stand here like a corpse?"

When Zhou Fengliu asked this question, Zhang Lingyu sighed and then followed Zhou Fengliu with her things.

After a moment.

Zhou Fengliu led Zhang Lingyu into a Hunan cuisine restaurant and ordered several dishes.

Looking at the silent Zhang Lingyu in front of him, Zhou Fengliu had to admit that Zhang Lingyu was truly naive.

Everyone in the supernatural community knew that the Celestial Master had kicked him out of the Celestial Master's Mansion as a way to gain experience, but only Master Ayu foolishly believed that he had truly been expelled from the Celestial Master's household...

“I’ve been here before. Just eat these side dishes without making a sound.”

After all the dishes were served, Zhou Fengliu signaled to Zhang Lingyu that they could start cooking.

Faced with this table full of delicious food, Zhang Lingyu swallowed hard. In fact, he hadn't eaten much during his days of wandering.

"Anyway, now that you've left the Celestial Master's Mansion, you'll need to make a living. I'll find you a job; you'll be able to come anywhere... I happen to have some personnel changes recently, and I'm short-staffed..."

Zhou Fengliu said this.

His one-month paid leave is about to end, and after returning to work, he will soon be taking up his post in the South China region. If he can persuade Zhang Lingyu to come and assist him, it will definitely be easier for him to slack off in the South China region.

His little scheme was quite clever, but it seemed to miss Zhang Lingyu's mark.

Zhang Lingyu did not agree immediately.

"What? You feel like nothing is working properly?"

“No.” Zhang Lingyu shook her head.

"So you don't want to work under me? Then you can stay in North China... You can hang out with Zhang Chulan and learn how he doesn't care about his reputation." Zhou Fengliu indicated that following Zhang Chulan was fine.

Upon hearing Zhang Chulan's name, Zhang Lingyu shook her head even more.

He'd rather work under Zhou Fengliu than Zhang Chulan...

After all, Zhou Fengliu still had some principles, while Zhang Chulan had absolutely no shame...

The thought of the shameless Zhang Chulan brought back memories of Zhang Chulan's impromptu stroll under the moon, a scene that truly shocked even this disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Seeing Zhang Lingyu's expression, Zhou Fengliu spoke as if he could read her mind:

"You don't mean you think that Na Du Tong sometimes does things that are too shady, which is not in line with your upright identity as a disciple of the Celestial Master, do you?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Lingyu's answer was tacit agreement.

"6."
