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

Really.

They all remained silent.

If it weren't for poverty, who would be willing to become a lay Buddhist who pays extra?

Zhang Chulan's feelings were very complicated; he had ultimately become just like Zhou Fengliu before.

Seeing that he had composed himself, he then led Feng Baobao into the building and into Zhou Fengliu's room.

"Brother Liu, are you home? We're here."

inside the house.

Hearing the knock, Zhou Fengliu opened the door for Zhang Chulan.

"Hello, Brother Liu." Zhang Chulan greeted Zhou Fengliu.

"Hmm... You came empty-handed?" Zhou Fengliu glanced at their empty hands.

“... Zhang Chulan.”

"Ah, I came in such a hurry... I didn't bring much."

"Alright, just be careful next time." Zhou Fengliu told Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao to change their shoes and come in.

As far as the eye can see, a ray of sunlight shines in through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft hue over the entire room.

Chen Duo was sitting in a corner of the living room, fiddling with her computer, seemingly playing a game.

After a cursory glance at the spaciousness of the large apartment, Zhang Chulan remarked with some emotion, "Brother Liu, how much money do you have to earn to afford a house like this?"

"Um... three thousand eight hundred, I guess," Zhou Fengliu said.

"How much?" Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow upon hearing the number.

"Three thousand eight, Feng Shayan's house, she rented it to me at a low price back then."

"Oh, Feng Shayan...that makes sense then." Zhang Chulan felt a little better.

"What do you want from me?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Chulan smiled and said, "Um... I'm here to see Junior Uncle."

"Ah Yu, someone is looking for you." Zhou Fengliu had anticipated this situation, so he called Zhang Lingyu out.

"Don't call me Ayu! I'm saying it again."

Upon hearing the name "Ayu," Zhang Lingyu, who was meditating in her room, stormed out in a huff. As soon as she rushed out, she saw Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

This made him slightly embarrassed, but he coughed lightly and quickly regained his usual calm and collected demeanor.

"Junior Uncle...it's been a long time."

"Zhang Chulan... what brings you here?" Zhang Lingyu asked, somewhat surprised to see Zhang Chulan.

"Looking for you..." Zhou Fengliu said.

"I?"

Zhang Lingyu was taken aback at first, but after a conversation, he realized why Zhang Chulan had come to see him.

"You want me to join Nadutong? But I've already joined."

"what?"

"When?" Zhang Chulan was also taken aback. How come he didn't know about this?

"When Zhou Fengliu approached me just now... I had already decided to join the company."

Hearing Zhang Lingyu's answer, Zhang Chulan frowned, sensing something was amiss, and then asked again:

"Which company did Brother Liu ask you to join...?"

"You guys are everywhere...and there are other companies too?" Zhang Lingyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Anyway, I promised Zhou Fengliu I'd follow him...

Did they leave with Zhou Fengliu?

Upon hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, Zhang Chulan understood.

He was a step too slow.

This junior uncle is actually going to be lured to the South China region by Zhou Fengliu!

Zhang Chulan was silent for two seconds. He looked at Zhou Fengliu sitting on the sofa not far away, then at Chen Duo playing games in the corner of the living room... and then at the Celestial Master's disciple who had just come out of the Celestial Master's Mansion in front of him.

He swallowed hard.

These aren't just three people living under the same roof; this is clearly the leadership team for the South China region...

Thug Chen Duo.

Assistant to the person in charge: Zhang Lingyu.

We might be missing someone for logistical support...

Zhou Fengliu has already found everyone...

high.

That's really high.

Zhang Chulan now has a new understanding of Zhou Fengliu.

People always say that he and Wang Zhenqiu are cunning, but the one who is truly cunning is actually this Mr. Jiaqian, who is not far away.

He quietly assembled his team... all that's left is for him to take office in South China.

...

Just as Zhang Chulan was pondering the terrifying implications, the quick-witted Feng Baobao noticed Chen Duo playing a game. Curious, she glanced at it and realized it was the same game she was playing, so she stopped and watched for a while.

When she saw the account name, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, as if she had encountered it when playing games before.

Noticing that Feng Baobao was standing behind the computer, Chen Duo turned her head slightly.

"You want to play?"

"No..." Feng Baobao shook her head and then said, "I play this too... How about we play together sometime?"

"Okay." Chen Duo nodded.

...

"Brother Liu, do you have some good news you haven't told your little brother yet?"

After learning that Zhang Lingyu had joined Zhou Fengliu's group, Zhang Chulan turned his attention to Zhou Fengliu.

He decided to cultivate a good relationship with Zhou Fengliu. Although they would be far apart in the future, Zhou Fengliu's powerful team and combat strength would still be useful to him.

"What good news?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Zhou, the person in charge of the South China region, you really don't reveal any information. If it weren't for Fourth Brother telling me, I would still be a Mongolian!"

Zhou Fengliu's expression didn't change much as he listened to Zhang Chulan's words.

"He hasn't even officially taken office yet..."

...

P.S.: Just asking for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams, godfathers~

Chapter 230 Zhou Fengliu: I'm not serious? You're kidding, I'm super serious, okay!

"No matter what... if I can't make it in North China in the future, I'll go to South China and ask Brother Liu to take me in."

Zhang Chulan spoke to Zhou Fengliu with a smile on his face, determined to get closer to Zhou Fengliu.

Should we take Zhang Chulan in?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Zhang Lingyu beside him.

Don't even mention... if they really took Zhang Chulan in, it would perfectly complement the Heavenly Master's Mansion's "Yin-Yang Jade Pendant" title, one yin and one yang.

...

Upon learning that Zhou Fengliu had already beaten Zhang Lingyu to it, Zhang Chulan didn't linger any longer. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Zhou Fengliu, he left with Feng Baobao.

After seeing Zhang Chulan off, Zhou Fengliu looked at Zhang Lingyu standing at the door, and Zhang Lingyu then asked the question that had been bothering him:

"How many companies do you manage...?"

"What?" Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this question.

"Zhang Chulan just asked me which company I joined..."

Hearing Zhang Lingyu's question, Zhou Fengliu scratched his face and then answered:

"One headquarters and seven branch offices, he probably wants you to join the North China region... The North China region is not bad either. With your junior apprentice Zhang Chulan around, your life will definitely not be boring."

"How about it? Think it over? I won't be angry if you join the North China region."

"Zhang Chulan..."

The thought of working at the same company as Zhang Chulan, who was strolling under the moonlight, made Zhang Lingyu shake her head. He then said in a serious tone:

"No, even though you're very indecent, you should at least have some self-respect."

"Don't call me Ayu next time! Please be serious."

After Zhang Lingyu finished speaking, he returned to his room to cultivate. Zhou Fengliu, seeing Zhang Lingyu's tsundere behavior, curled his lip and then mimicked Zhang Lingyu's words, saying in a sarcastic tone:

"I'm not serious? You're kidding, I'm super serious... I'm just being stubborn, if you don't like Zhang Chulan, just say so..."

Just as Zhou Fengliu was being sarcastic, Chen Duo, who was in the corner of the living room, had just finished a game.

Those emerald green eyes looked towards Zhou Fengliu, and just then they saw Zhou imitating Zhang Lingyu's serious demeanor.

how to say?

It's a bit of a weird, incoherent mess...

"?"

"What are you looking at? What's so interesting? Did you cultivate today? Go back to your room and cultivate."
