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

Xu Si stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said he could call Zhao Fangxu.

"Then let's ask. Anyway... whether we're tracing the person who left the painting in He Weidong, or the company is investigating the principle of the Body Refining Furnace, we can't get around Ma Xianhong."

After Zhang Chulan finished speaking, he handed the matter over to Xu Si to consult with his superiors, while he prepared to take Feng Baobao to find Zhang Lingyu.

"Fourth Brother, I'm going with Bao'er to check on Zhang Lingyu..."

"Well, there's something I need to tell you later..." Xu Si called out to Zhang Chulan.

"?"

"You're being watched again..."

"Who?"

“The Lu family has two members: Lu Linglong and Lu Linglong’s cousin, Lu Lin.”

Upon hearing Xu Si utter those two names, Zhang Chulan frowned and remained silent for a few seconds.

He knew very well that the reason these two people were targeting him was simply because he had visited the Lu family compound last time.

Forget it.

Ignore the two of them and go find Zhang Lingyu first...

Zhang Chulan thought to himself.

...

now.

Zhang Lingyu, whom Zhang Chulan was thinking about, had already followed Zhou Fengliu home.

Looking at the high-rise buildings in the city center, Zhang Lingyu frowned slightly.

"You...live here?"

"Yeah." Zhou Fengliu responded, then glanced at Zhang Lingyu's expression and added, "Rented."

"Oh...I see." Zhang Lingyu's doubts were dispelled, and she followed Zhou Fengliu upstairs.

The elevator quickly brought the two of them to their front door.

Zhou Fengliu took out the key, turned it, and then led Zhang Lingyu into the room.

Looking at the spacious, open-plan apartment, Zhang Lingyu felt a little out of place.

"Duozi, Duozi?" Zhou Fengliu called out to Chen Duo twice.

Chen Duo, who was practicing the Reversed Heavenly Gang in her hut, stopped her practice upon hearing the sound and then walked out of the room.

"This is...the food I brought for you." Zhou Fengliu pointed to the food in takeout containers on the table next to him.

"Mm." Chen Duo nodded, then moved closer to prepare to eat.

"?"

Zhang Lingyu, a former disciple of the Celestial Master, was somewhat bewildered as Chen Duo walked past him.

"You...you have another woman here?! Isn't she that Quanxing demon?!"

Zhang Lingyu looked at Zhou Fengliu in shock, her eyes seeming to say: You're really something... each one is flatter than the last!

"What are you saying? You seem to be really looking forward to meeting Xia He?" Zhou Fengliu picked up a cup and poured himself a glass of water.

"This is Chen Duo... a former employee of NaDuTong, so she's your senior. She's staying at my house now."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied:

"I'm naturally looking forward to running into that Quanxing sorcerer; I haven't settled the score with her yet..."

"If it weren't for her... you wouldn't have succeeded, and neither would I..."

Zhang Lingyu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Clearly, what he meant was that if it weren't for Xia He's breathing technique, he wouldn't have been affected and lost his primordial yang, and Zhou Fengliu wouldn't have been taken away right under his nose not long ago.

"Alright, once you catch her, I'll give you a bonus." Zhou Fengliu encouraged Zhang Lingyu, seeing his determination.

Upon hearing the word "bonus," Chen Duo, who had been focused on her meal, suddenly perked up. She turned to look at Zhou Fengliu:

"Who are we arresting? Where's the reward? Can I come along?"

"?"

Seeing Chen Duo jump in to chime in, Zhou Fengliu glanced at her and said, "You get all excited when it comes to bonuses. Go eat your meal..."

"Oh..."

After being scolded by Zhou Fengliu, Chen Duo silently lowered her head and continued eating the food in the takeout box.

...

Kun, you're so beautiful!

Beibei—

Just then, Zhou Fengliu's phone rang.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu pulled out his superior-looking phone and gestured for Zhang Lingyu to choose a room to stay in temporarily.

He then glanced at the caller ID and raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing that it was Zhang Chulan.

What's that kid calling for again?

"Hey?"

"Brother Liu, it's me, Zhang Chulan..."

Zhang Chulan's voice came through the phone.

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise I'm hanging up."

"No... something's wrong. Um... I heard from Fourth Brother that you inquired about Zhang Lingyu's location? Where is he now?"

Listening to Zhang Chulan's voice on the other end of the phone, Zhou Fengliu was a little confused about what Zhang Chulan was up to.

"It's at my house... What's up? Is there something you need?"

"At Brother Liu's house?"

Upon hearing this information on the other end of the phone, Zhang Chulan had a bad feeling.

"Okay, Brother Liu, I'll go to your place now... send me your location."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, pondering for a moment why Zhang Chulan was in such a hurry to find Zhang Lingyu.

He quickly realized what was happening.

Could they be here to poach Zhang Lingyu's girlfriend?

Chapter 229 These aren't just three people under the same roof; they're clearly a team of personnel from South China.

Don't say it.

The possibility is great.

In the original storyline, Zhang Chulan was ordered by Zhao Fangxu to recruit Zhang Lingyu to the North China branch...

But now that Zhang Lingyu is working for him, can Zhang Chulan still manage to dig her out?

As Zhou Fengliu was pondering, he saw Zhang Lingyu, who had chosen a room, walk out of the room opposite his.

The two looked at each other and exchanged a glance.

Zhang Lingyu felt a little uncomfortable under Zhou Fengliu's gaze, then pointed to the room behind him and said:

"This one will do."

"can."

Zhou Fengliu nodded.

how to say?

He expressed respect for Zhang Lingyu's decision to go.

After all, the North China region was his home, and Xu Si had treated him well. If Zhang Lingyu really stayed in North China, he could accept it...

Not long after.

Zhang Chulan brought Feng Baobao to the building where Zhou Fengliu lived. Looking at the tall building where Zhou Fengliu lived, Zhang Chulan fell into deep thought.

Damn it.

Zhou Fengliu lives here? What kind of family can afford to live here?

They're already so rich... why are they still working so hard to make money everywhere?

Should it be rolled up like this?

and many more...

Zhang Chulan thought of something and began to mentally calculate Zhou Fengliu's income over the past few months.

From the small sums of money given by Wang Ye at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony to the various mission bonuses... Zhou Fengliu must have at least a seven or eight-figure net worth, right?

Living in this house... seems reasonable.

Zhang Chulan suddenly realized what was happening.

The lay Buddhist who used to work so hard to make money was short of cash... but in the past few months, he has become much richer than him.

He's the only one who's still broke...

Hmm.

Zhang Chulan sighed, and his mind drifted back to what Zhou Fengliu had said to him in the restroom before he joined Na Du Tong Company.

"A monthly salary of three thousand eight hundred. The company makes money and the company spends it. They give you a few dangerous missions every now and then. Although there is a subsidy, the effort and reward are not proportional... You can work this shift. Once you start, you won't say a word."

Zhang Chulan suddenly felt a resonance with what Zhou Fengliu had said back then.

He, Brother Liu, never lied to him...
