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

“Just swing your sword…” Zhou Fengliu said casually.

"Can you really swing a sword to that extent?" Zhang Chulan thought to himself, "I'm not a child..." He looked at the broken sword in his hand and felt it was unlikely.

"Practice slowly, you'll get the hang of it with practice."

"Brother Liu, are you kidding me? You're not teaching me any sword techniques, you're just making me repeat the same few movements of slashing and thrusting..." Zhang Chulan felt that no matter how much he practiced these movements, he probably wouldn't learn anything.

"Young man, don't be so impetuous." Zhou Fengliu turned his attention from his phone to Zhang Chulan upon hearing this.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, but the key is that I don't know any awesome sword techniques either. All I know how to do with a sword is slashing and thrusting. If you can master slashing and thrusting, you'll basically be invincible."

"The ultimate?" Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the ultimate." Zhou Fengliu was about to start his deception again.

He was going to give Zhang Chulan a performance, since Zhang Chulan always questioned his training plans that were just for killing time.

As he spoke, he got off the hammock, picked up the broken sword from Zhang Chulan's hand, and with his internal energy enveloping the blade, he casually swung it forward.

His speed was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it. Zhang Chulan tried his best to widen his eyes, but he still couldn't catch when he swung the sword.

...

P.S.: I'm begging for everything, I'm begging for everything, it feels so cold.

"So fast..." Zhang Chulan swallowed hard.

That speed...

He must have been single for at least thirty years, right?

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Fengliu had already tossed the sword back to him.

"Is it fast?"

"Ah."

"It's fast... but it seems to be lacking something..." Zhang Chulan said that while his sword swings were fast enough, they didn't seem to have much killing power.

"It's definitely lacking..."

Zhou Fengliu simply nodded upon hearing this, noticing that he had glanced at the time.

Ok.

It's almost time to get off work.

"Practice hard, see you tomorrow." Zhou Fengliu said as he walked into the villa.

Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched Zhou Fengliu's departing figure.

boom--

Before he could react, he heard a loud bang from afar.

Looking towards the source of the sound, a flock of startled birds took flight from the distant woods.

The next second, countless trees fell as if swept by some force, and the clean, sharp cuts on the stumps made it clear that this was something no human could have done.

"???"

Looking at the empty space in the distance, Zhang Chulan was completely dumbfounded.

this...

A slash?

what?

Zhang Chulan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He said he could only give Zhou Fengliu 82 points for this swing, and awarded the remaining 18 points to Zhou Fengliu in the form of 666.

...

Ultimate...

To achieve the ultimate?

Zhang Chulan looked at the broken sword in his hand and fell into deep thought. After a while, he silently stuck the sword into the ground. He had figured it out.

Practicing swordsmanship?

Practice my ass...

Even if he practiced again, he wouldn't be able to achieve the same level of skill as Zhou Fengliu within a month.

He was internally complaining when he saw Zhou Fengliu had changed his clothes and was getting ready to leave work. Looking at the fallen trees in the distance, he suddenly remembered something and called out to Zhou Fengliu:

"Brother Liu..."

"What?" Zhou Fengliu thought Zhang Chulan wanted to ask him how he did it.

“This tree has fallen... Should we call Third Brother or Fourth Brother or something... I seem to remember that in our country... it seems that we can't cut down trees at will,” Zhang Chulan said.

"..."

OK OK.

Zhou Fengliu said that he really hadn't thought of this. He was so focused on giving Zhang Chulan a little shock that he didn't think about laws and regulations.

"Well, I see."

Zhou Fengliu originally wanted to be a lawless outlaw, since no one could prove that the disappearance of this forest was related to him. But then he thought, he has powerful backers, so what is he afraid of?

...

He called Xu Si, gave him a brief explanation, and Xu Si didn't say much, indicating that he could handle everything.

And that was indeed the case... In the following days, Zhou Fengliu was not taken away by the relevant authorities for the issue of illegal logging.

...

On a sunny weekend, Zhou Fengliu finally got the benefits of a full-time employee with weekends off.

Yes.

He was promoted from a contract worker to a permanent employee.

9-to-5 work schedule, five social insurances and two housing funds, weekends off, double salary...

To be honest, Xu Si is a good person, easy to get along with, and truly dedicated when there's a problem.

Through Xu Si's efforts, his status as a contract worker was transformed into that of a full-time employee in East China in just a few days.

This weekend, he also plans to move his home to the city center.

After tireless efforts to find a place, he finally found a good apartment that was inexpensive, nicely decorated, and located in the city center.

He truly meant what he said; if he said he'd move, then he had to move.

...

Standing on the 20th floor of a high-rise building, Zhou Fengliu surveyed the place where he would live in the future.

Well, although the area is only 130 or 140 square meters, it's definitely enough. Most importantly... the price is incredibly cheap.

In this area, it's 50% to 60% cheaper than other houses.

At first, he also suspected that the house might be haunted, but then he thought to himself, how could a staunch materialist like himself be afraid of this?

"The furniture is so new...did the landlord really stay here?"

Zhou Fengliu shook his head. Seeing him standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the tall buildings in the distance, he felt that he should have a wine glass or something similar in his hand.

His rental agreement had already been signed with the real estate agent, and today the landlord wanted to meet with him, which he did not refuse.

After all, he also wanted to see who the landlord was, that he could rent out such a house at such a cheap price.

A moment later.

There was a knock on the door. Zhou Fengliu thought it was the landlord, so he went to the door and opened it.

"?"

"Miss Feng?"

Zhou Fengliu opened the door, and the person standing outside made him raise an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

How did you find your way here?

"Me?" Feng Shayan didn't keep her in suspense and said, "This is my house, I'm the landlord, why can't I come?"

"Your house?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu immediately felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

"Hmm." Feng Shayan walked into the room and glanced at the furniture around her:

"What? Are you surprised?"

"You arranged this?"

"Hmm...I guess so."

Feng Shayan paused for a moment before continuing, "I just happened to know that you couldn't find a suitable place to rent, so I helped you... I found you a low-priced place."

"..."

Zhou Fengliu fell silent.

really...

There are no free lunches that fall into his lap; what he thought was a windfall was actually a trap set by someone else.

Seemingly sensing Zhou Fengliu's emotions, Feng Shayan added, "Don't overthink it. I'm just renting you the house. There's nothing fishy going on... I won't try to win you over or anything."

"No purpose? Then what's the point of you doing this?"

Zhou Fengliu said he didn't believe that: "I don't think the young lady of Tianxia Group is short of money, is she?"

“Indeed…” Feng Shayan nodded: “As for what the significance is… it’s probably just about being your landlord.”

When it comes to renting the house to Zhou Fengliu, Feng Shayan really did it intentionally.

Although her confession to Zhou Fengliu that day was unsuccessful, she did not give up on paying attention to him at her father's behest.
