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

"Zhang Chulan, if you're a real man, come back and fight me!"

Hearing the shouts behind him, Zhang Chulan glanced back, then turned around, slowly raised his middle finger with his left hand, and said in an extremely irritating tone:

"Come here!"

"..."

Grass.

It is a type of plant.

Faced with Zhang Chulan's provocation, not only the young man couldn't stand it, but even the other spectators in the stands couldn't hold back anymore.

"Zhang Chulan, hurry up and leave after you finish your competition." The referee from the Celestial Master's Mansion urged Zhang Chulan, seeing how shameless he was.

"Oh... alright, thank you for your hard work, Daoist Master." Zhang Chulan chuckled, then quickly left the scene.

His actions left the Ten Elders in the stands speechless.

Holy crap, this young man...

"This is Zhang Chulan... Lao Lü, what do you think?" Wang Ai asked Lü Ci beside him, leaning on his cane.

“I’ll just sit and watch,” Lü Ci replied. “He’s just a greenhorn, what can I possibly do with him? Let’s get to know him… and see if we can make something of him.”

Hearing Lü Ci's words, Wang Ai hesitated, "This...shouldn't we consider the Old Celestial Master's side?"

"The Old Celestial Master?" Lu Ci narrowed his eyes and continued, "It's precisely because of the Old Celestial Master that we chose this time... Otherwise, if we waited until Zhang Chulan became a member of the Celestial Master's Mansion, it would be difficult for us to ask him questions."

"Indeed... Lao Lü, you're the most meticulous."

"..."

...

"Brother Liu." Zhang Chulan waited for Zhou Fengliu outside the competition venue for a while. When Zhou Fengliu came out, he said, "How was it? Did you not disappoint Brother Liu?"

“Indeed…” Zhou Fengliu nodded: “It certainly lives up to your shameless nickname.”

“Uh…” Zhang Chulan scratched his head upon hearing this: “There’s nothing I can do. When you’re in the martial world, it’s all about relationships and worldly wisdom… Who knew Brother Shan would be so considerate and not come today?”

...

P.S.: Here's the second update for today. I saw some of you saying that we only have two updates a day and they're posted separately, which is not very nice. So, from now on, we'll post both updates together. The update time is tentatively set between midnight and 1 a.m.

It's kind of creepy...

As for extra chapters, I humbly beg all my godfathers for your support with donations. I have some drafts saved up, and I want to challenge myself to write as many chapters as possible in a day.

Waaaaah...

Chapter 64 Wang Ai is not amiable, Lü Ci is not kind! (First Update)

It truly lives up to the saying: the world of extraordinary people isn't about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

...

Just as Zhang Chulan was saying that Brother Shan had lost face, two men in suits, one tall and one short, walked over. Seeing them staring at Zhang Chulan, they spoke up:

"Zhang Chulan, the two elders, Lu Ci and Wang Ai, request your presence."

"Ten Elders?" Zhang Chulan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Uh, I don't know either of you old men."

"But these two old men know your grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan was startled and realized that he needed to go there.

"Please... Zhang Chulan."

"Um... can I take him with me?" Although Zhang Chulan agreed to go, he still felt uneasy. What if the Ten Elders were going to make things difficult for him? He would be devastated.

"Me?" Zhou Fengliu frowned when Zhang Chulan called his name.

"They invited you... not me. You can go by yourself. Besides, it's almost lunchtime, you should go eat..."

Zhou Fengliu was fairly familiar with this part of the plot and knew that the Ten Elders were only making things difficult for Zhang Chulan and didn't intend to harm him.

"Brother Liu, are you really going to let me go alone?"

"I can't bear it," Zhou Fengliu said without the slightest hesitation.

The little boat of friendship can capsize so easily, which made Zhang Chulan feel utterly disheartened. Thinking about this, he realized it was time to use his "social skills" to his advantage.

"Brother Liu... I'll transfer you three hundred yuan via WeChat to ensure my brother's safety." Zhang Chulan quickly transferred the money.

It's clear that after spending a long time at the company, he has learned some of the "social skills" for dealing with Zhou Fengliu.

"..." Zhou Fengliu.

"It's no use giving me money; they won't let me go."

“You don’t have to go in. Just wait for me outside. If anything happens, knock on the door and say you need to talk to me, then pull me away…” Zhang Chulan said.

"I see..." Zhou Fengliu thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.

Although 300 yuan isn't much, it's still considered work income; every little bit helps...

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu agreed, Zhang Chulan felt confident.

He didn't know what the two old men wanted him to do. If nothing unexpected happened, all would be well. But if something unexpected did happen, then his money wouldn't have been wasted.

He spent 300 yuan to buy himself an insurance policy.

"Hey Liu, let's agree on a secret code."

On the way to see the Ten Elders, Zhang Chulan spoke to Zhou Fengliu.

"What code?"

"Hmm... As soon as I text you... you come to rescue me."

"it is good."

...

Before long, the two arrived at the outside of a building. Zhang Chulan went inside, while Zhou Fengliu waited in place under the watchful eyes of two men in suits.

As Zhang Chulan entered the building, he was greeted by two elderly people.

Wang Ai was sitting on the left, and Lü Ci was sitting on the right.

These two people's names are complete opposites to their personalities: Wang Ai is not amiable, and Lü Ci is not kind...

The sight of those two old foxes sitting there made Zhang Chulan feel immense pressure.

“Zhang Chulan, right? I don’t like beating around the bush! Hand over the Qi Source Flow, and whatever conditions you want… name your price!” Lü Ci said directly and bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan remained silent for a second.

So it really is for the Qi Source Flow?

He quickly scratched his head, revealing a smile: "Oh, gentlemen, I really didn't know about this. The Quanxing sect came to me before, but they didn't manage to get their hands on it either..."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's explanation, Lü Ci sneered: "Zhang Chulan, you should also understand the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'... As long as you hand over the Qi Source Stream, no one will bother you anymore."

"Gentlemen, you're really making things difficult for a junior like me... I really don't have anything to offer you. If I did, I would have taken it out already..." Zhang Chulan chuckled, then slowly put his left hand into his pocket, preparing to press the send button on his phone hidden in his trouser pocket.

"Kid, stop trying to pull any tricks... show me your hand." Lu Ci saw right through Zhang Chulan's scheme.

"Oh my, Grandpa Lü, you have such good eyesight." Zhang Chulan swallowed hard.

"My eyes are the ruler!" Seeing that Zhang Chulan was not cooperating, Lü Ci did not press him any further. He beckoned to Lü Gong, who had been waiting for a long time, to take action.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan quickly dodged and then looked at Lü Gong.

"Your methods... are very similar to those of Lu Liang of Quanxing."

"?"

Upon hearing the name Lü Liang, Lü Ci was somewhat surprised.

"You also know Lü Liang? That's right, you were captured by the Quanxing, so you should have witnessed the Minghun Technique, which can only be inherited by the Lü family bloodline." Lü Ci looked at Zhang Chulan and continued:

"Zhang Chulan, you don't need to hide anymore. Just cooperate obediently and don't even think about using brute force to escape... Under my nose, you can scream your lungs out and still not get away..."

...

now.

Outside.

Zhou Fengliu hadn't received a message from Zhang Chulan for a long time, and he was getting a little bored. Just as he was about to start a game, Xu Si called him.

"Fourth brother."

"Where are you? My baby and I can't find you or Zhang Chulan anywhere," Xu Si asked on the other end of the phone.

"I don't know where this is either... Zhang Chulan is with me. I'll wait for him to finish meeting with the Ten Elders and then I'll go and meet up with you guys."

"Huh?" Xu Si was a little confused when he heard this: "What did you say? Zhang Chulan went to see the Ten Elders?"

“Yes, it’s the two old gentlemen, Lü Ci and Wang Ai.”

Are they alone now?

"It should be..."

"Quick...take Zhang Chulan and leave, we'll go there now..."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Fengliu glanced at the closed door of the house not far away, then looked at the two burly men in front of him, who were also looking at him.

Eyes facing each other.

Zhou Fengliu quickly delivered two powerful blows to the two men, knocking them to the ground.

"You two have been looking at me for a while, why don't you take a break?"

As Zhou Fengliu spoke, he swaggered toward the door and suddenly pushed it open.

As far as he could see, Zhang Chulan was in a difficult situation. His tense emotions eased a little when he saw him appear.

"Brother Liu..." He gestured for Zhou Fengliu to find a reason to take him away.

Zhou Fengliu understood immediately.
