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

Forget it.

This season also happens to be the time when it snows in Northeast China, so let's treat it as a government-funded trip to the Northeast region.

After listening to Zhao Fangxu's considerations, Zhou Fengliu reassured him:

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, I promise not to escalate the conflict first. I'll pack up and head to the Northeast region."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhou. We'll make up for the days you worked overtime with by giving you time off later..."

Zhao Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Zhou Fengliu's assurance.

The phone hangs up.

He wiped away the cold sweat that had just been brought up by Zhou Fengliu's words.

If Zhou Fengliu really gets carried away and sends two big treasures to the Fish and Dragon Society, he'll have a terrible headache.

and many more...

Why did Xiao Zhou give the Fish and Dragon Society a job?

Wasn't it Biheshan who came to cause trouble back then?

...

Um...

Fortunately, Ishikawa Shin, the president of the Fish Dragon Association, was unaware of the phone call. If he had known, he would have said: "I'm at 8 a.m.!"

On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengliu stretched and then placed the phone on the dining table.

Zhang Lingyu, who had been staring at him expectantly for a while, finally asked, "What happened?"

"General Manager Zhao said something happened in the Northeast... He said they discovered a demon sword and need to escort it. I'll probably have to take a break for a while. I have to go to the Northeast on a business trip."

After Zhou Fengliu finished speaking, he glanced at the people in the room:

"Who among you is planning to go on a business trip with me?"

"..."

Faced with Jay Chou's troop deployment, Zhang Lingyu had nothing to say and indicated that he could do it.

However, his request to fight was flatly rejected by Zhou Fengliu.

"You should stay and oversee South China."

"Where is Chen Duo?" Zhou Fengliu asked.

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu call her name, Chen Duo, who had only been back in her room for two and a half minutes, poked her head out. Chen Junyan, her dog, was also secretly observing her.

"What's the matter?"

Are you going on a business trip?

Zhou Fengliu asked the question, then, as if anticipating his words, said in advance, "There's no bonus, only overtime pay..."

Look...

What does it mean to say that no one knows a student better than their teacher?

Before Chen Duo could even speak, Zhou Fengliu had already predicted what Chen Duo's first words would be.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Chen Duo stroked her chin, pretending to think, and then looked at Zhou Fengliu and asked:

"You want me to go?"

"..."

"Go or don't go, it's up to you... It's not like I'm forcing you."

Zhou Fengliu stated that he never forces his employees.

"Then... I think I won't go."

"Alright, I was originally planning to broaden your horizons and show you the snow in Northeast China, as well as the bathing culture and stuff... Since you don't want to go, then that's fine."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the word "snow," Chen Duo suddenly perked up.

Obviously.

She wanted to see the snow in Northeast China...

"I go."

Before she could speak, Fu Rong, who had also caught the key words, spoke first:

"If she won't go, I will. I want to see what the bathing culture in Northeast China is really like..."

Fu Rong, influenced by Zhou Fengliu, said she didn't care about snow or not; she was mainly interested in the interesting bathing culture in Northeast China...

"Ok?"

Hearing Fu Rong's enthusiastic voice, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Fu Rong and said:

"Rongzi, you've changed..."

"Me? How have I changed?" Fu Rong asked, puzzled.

Seeing Fu Rong feigning ignorance, Zhou Fengliu raised his left hand, mimicking Fu Rong's mannerisms from before, and spoke again:

"I, Fu Rong, am sworn enemies with that despicable place!"

"..."

Watching Zhou Fengliu imitate her, Fu Rong felt a sense of dread. Her fair face turned bright red, like a monkey's bottom.

"What do you know... I was just playing hard to get!"

"No, you're just saying one thing but doing another."

Zhou Fengliu exposed Fu Rong's lie, and then saw Tao Tao, the teacher, walking towards the room. He stopped Tao Tao and said:

"Teacher Tao, don't you have any ideas?"

"?"

Tao Tao, who was called out, turned her head in surprise: "I don't think that's necessary... I've been busy with work lately."

"Whatever you want. I'm just reminding you that Elder Tang seems to be going too... If he asks why you didn't come along... then I'll just tell him the truth."

"what?"

Upon hearing that Tang Miaoxing would also be going, Tao Tao, who had originally planned to continue slacking off in South China, suddenly became extremely nervous, like a student being randomly selected by the teacher.

"Actually... I can put work aside for now, but I mainly want to go on a business trip."

With her survival instincts at their peak, Tao Tao looked at Zhou Fengliu and said very seriously.

She had already been warned by Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang to stick along with Zhou Fengliu and help the honorary principal, or else they would send a group of people to South China to beat her up...

If Zhou Fengliu were to meet Tang Miaoxing in the Northeast and not see her... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tao Tao, she's really about to face her fate.

In order to avoid being double-teamed by the Menzhang and Wangye duo this time, and in order to continue earning double wages in the future, "double agent" Tao Tao said that she must go on this trip to Northeast China.

"Oh? Teacher Tao, there's no allowance for business trips..."

Seeing Tao Tao suddenly become more enthusiastic, Zhou Fengliu made a teasing remark.

"I'll go even if I have to pay, no subsidy is necessary..."

Tao Tao sighed and said this.

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 490 Is this a business trip? Or is it team building? (First update)

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Tao Tao's words, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow, then glanced at Tao Tao and said:

"Teacher Tao is quite insightful. Alright, since Teacher Tao has put it that way, let's hand in the papers..."

"?"

Tao Tao, who had just finished sighing, was somewhat shocked to hear that she would have to pay for the business trip.

"I was just saying it casually... why did you take it seriously?"

...

"that..."

Just as Tao Tao was pleading poverty and saying she had no money, Chen Duo quietly walked over, interrupting everyone's conversation, and whispered:

"I want to go too."

"?"

Upon hearing Chen Duo change her mind, Zhou Fengliu turned and glanced at her:
