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

"I agree... We're not exactly sentimental people, it was all Lao San's idea," Xu Si said, taking a puff of his cigarette.

In response to what Xu Si said, Xu San silently adjusted his glasses and then spoke:

"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't you bring it up yourself?"

"Hey...you're just saying...I was just mentioning it casually..."

Xu Si stubbed out his cigarette, not bothering to continue arguing with Xu San about who was in control and who was passive. He then turned his gaze to Zhou Fengliu:

"Um... stay tonight. I've already booked the restaurant and everything. You're paying for everything tonight."

“Okay…” Zhou Fengliu asked without refusing, as he had already agreed to it before.

Seeing Zhou Fengliu agree so readily, Xu Si was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Oh ho, you agreed so quickly? This isn't like you, Xiao Zhou. Well done, it seems you have money this time."

Xu Si joked that he had just said Zhou Fengliu should pay the bill casually.

After all, he was Zhou Fengliu's former superior and the first person to discover that Zhou Fengliu was a "money-grubbing hermit".

With so many people in the entire North China branch, if Zhou Fengliu were to pay the bill tonight, it wouldn't just be taking advantage of them, it would be bleeding the money out of the "Extra Money Hermit" (a nickname for a wealthy and influential person)...

Although Zhou Fengliu had agreed on his casual remark, he still planned to pay the bill that evening and happily see Zhou Fengliu off.

"It's alright, it's all thanks to the kindness of my third and fourth brothers... I made a little money," Zhou Fengliu said.

...

Time passed slowly. On his last day working at the North China branch, Zhou Fengliu had a very comfortable time, chatting with his colleagues and passing the time in laughter.

When Zhou Fengliu heard the mechanical voice in his ear announcing that the system had successfully clocked out and received a numerical boost, he looked at the clock on the wall in surprise.

He usually felt that the time at work went by very long, but today he felt that time had passed too quickly.

"Brothers... let's go! Let's fleece Xiao Zhou!"

As Xu Siyi's nonchalant voice rang out, everyone from the North China branch, except for some on-duty personnel, set off together, a large group heading towards the hotel in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Zhou Fengliu walked in the center of the group, with Xu Si and Xu San to his right, and Bi Lian and Feng Baobao with her hands in her pockets to his left. Behind him, his colleagues from North China were chatting about something...

That night, Zhou Fengliu drank quite a bit of alcohol, and everyone took turns toasting him, which he couldn't refuse.

Zhang Chulan remained quiet, holding his phone as if waiting for an opportunity.

What is he waiting for?

The answer is obvious.

He was waiting for Zhou Fengliu to get drunk and do something he wouldn't normally do.

As for why he did that... that was just something I thought of earlier.

He had just taken a couple of sips of wine when he suddenly remembered the scene at the bonfire party for the younger generation at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, where he was strolling around Kun under the moonlight. It seemed that Zhou Fengliu had taken many photos and videos of him...

Adhering to the principle that "if you don't court death, you won't die," he also wanted to film a scene that the God of War wouldn't normally see, and then discuss with Zhou Fengliu about deleting each other's photos...

He had a good plan, but unfortunately... Zhou Fengliu couldn't get drunk.

Despite being forced to drink by so many people, Zhou Fengliu remained seemingly invincible, like a god of war.

"Sister Bao'er...Sister Bao'er."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chulan called out to Feng Baobao, who was drinking baijiu like water.

"What?" Feng Baobao asked, leaning closer.

"Go have a drink with Brother Liu. He won't be coming to the company tomorrow. If you don't have a good drink with him today, you won't have many more opportunities in the future."

Zhang Chulan encouraged Feng Baobao, the invincible wine connoisseur, to drink with Zhou Fengliu.

"Have it."

Feng Baobao thought for a moment, then nodded, picked up two cases of liquor, and went to find Zhou Fengliu.

When Zhou Fengliu saw Feng Baobao walking over carrying two cases of liquor, he was completely dumbfounded.

What is this for?

...

"Brother Liu, don't blame me. Normally, we don't send Bao'er, but if you can drink like that... then we'll have to send General Bao'er."

Zhang Chulan chuckled as he looked in Zhou Fengliu's direction, as if he were imagining what would happen to Zhou Fengliu after he was drunk tonight.

However, while fantasy is beautiful, reality is quite different.

Even if Feng Baobao were to participate, Zhou Fengliu wouldn't get too drunk.

On the contrary, after Zhou Fengliu heard from Feng Baobao that it was Zhang Chulan who sent Feng Baobao to force Zhang Chulan to drink, he ordered everyone to force Zhang Chulan to drink.

And the result was...

Moonlit Kun 2.0.

When they saw Zhang Chulan, who was drunk, take off his pants and his virginity mark light up again, his colleagues in the North China branch were shocked and exclaimed "Holy crap!"

...

Everyone had a great time that night, and by the time Zhou Fengliu returned home it was already the next day, just before dawn.

It's worth mentioning...

Tonight, the entire bill wasn't paid by Mr. Zhou, but by Mr. Xu.

Before bringing up the dinner proposal to Zhou Fengliu, Xu Si had already placed orders at a restaurant and subsequently at a karaoke bar and a foot massage parlor.

This prevented Zhou Fengliu from even trying to pay the bill.

...

Lying on his bed, Zhou Fengliu watched the sunrise gradually appear on the horizon outside the window and yawned.

how to say?

Although he drank quite a bit tonight, he can hardly drink anymore now.

No matter how much alcohol there is, as long as he metabolizes it with his Qi, the effects of the alcohol will disappear, so he is quite sober now.

Chapter 249 Taking Office in South China! (Second Update)

His clear-headedness despite being drunk allowed him to think about many things at that moment.

For example:

Why did he choose to take up his post in the unfamiliar South China? Why didn't he choose to stay in North China, a place he was familiar with?

The answer to this seemingly trivial question quickly came to him.

The ideal answer with high emotional intelligence:

Humans cannot live in comfort.

He cannot be at ease, at least not yet.

For him, North China is too familiar to him. This familiarity makes him feel comfortable and complacent, to the point that he has the illusion that it would be good to stay in North China as an ordinary employee.

If you get used to comfort, you will stagnate, become careless, and think that you are invincible, which will eventually lead to your destruction.

He is not strong enough yet. Choosing comfort is tantamount to slow suicide. Before he can withstand nuclear weapons with his own body and defeat the old master without taking any damage, this slow suicide of inertia will be his weakness.

Therefore, he still needs to improve himself to ensure his sense of security.

Of course, there are ideal, high-EQ responses and realistic, low-EQ responses.

Low EQ version:

Why go to work if not for promotions and raises? Is it just out of passion?

North China is certainly a good place, but his position is still that of a low-level employee.

He might need some time to adjust to life in South China, but he'll be a leader there, and the base salary and benefits will be completely different.

Having figured this out, Zhou Fengliu couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, I really want to improve."

...

The next day, the sun rises three poles.

After waking up, Zhou Fengliu announced his appointment as the new head of the South China region to Zhang Lingyu and Chen Duo.

The two weren't too surprised; they just nodded and then started tidying up their things and cleaning the house.

Seeing the two of them start tidying up the house, Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment and then made a phone call to his "best friend" Yanzi.

A moment later, Feng Shayan answered the phone.

"Hey? Yanzi... I'm going to South China in the next couple of days. When are you coming over to hand over the house?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's voice, Feng Shayan on the other end of the phone paused slightly before replying:

"Just leave the key in the room..."

"Alright then, Yanzi, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I don't know if there are any other landlords as kind as you in South China," Zhou Fengliu said.

"What are you doing? Are you implying something about me?" Feng Shayan was stunned for a second upon hearing this.

"No... how can this be considered an implication? It was just a casual remark."

Zhou Fengliu said that Feng Shayan was simply overthinking things.

"Okay, I have something to do, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Shayan unconsciously frowned. Zhou Fengliu's casual remark had made her extremely flustered, as if she had prematurely exposed herself.

Seeing that she was looking at Feng Xingtong beside her, she asked:

"Tell me, did you leak the information?"

"Huh?" Feng Xingtong was completely bewildered when Feng Shayan asked her the question.

What did I reveal?

Did you tell Zhou Fengliu that I own a house near Huanan Nadutong?
