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

"Master, did Lingyu do something wrong?"

Hearing Zhang Lingyu dare to ask again, the old Celestial Master said with a stern face:

"No, you're not wrong, it's this old man who's wrong."

"Master is wrong?"

Hearing the old Celestial Master's words, Zhang Lingyu was visibly taken aback, then blurted out:

"Where did Master go wrong?"

"?"

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu was still asking a question, the old Celestial Master frowned:

“My mistake was taking in a rebellious disciple like you… With your current state, you’re doomed for life, and you’ll never need to go back to the mountain again.”

After saying this, the old master turned and left, leaving his "beloved disciple" Zhang Lingyu standing there, completely bewildered.

Having been unjustly scolded by his own master, our Grand Master Lingyu looked utterly aggrieved...

Silence reigned at the Celestial Master's Mansion this morning...

Ayu was suffering inside, but she didn't say anything.

...

On the other side, after scolding his "beloved disciple," the old master walked straight towards Zhou Fengliu.

Looking at Zhou Fengliu, who seemed to have not slept all night, he slowly began to speak: "Fengliu, come with me..."

"what?"

Hearing the old master call out to him, Zhou Fengliu, who was taking care of the child, turned around:

"Master, I'm breastfeeding my baby right now..."

Upon hearing this, the old Celestial Master pointed to Zhang Lingyu, who looked bewildered and aggrieved, not far away:

"Let him feed him."

"Ah I?"

Zhang Lingyu, who had been mentioned by the Celestial Master, pointed to himself.

He meant to confirm with the old master, but the old master saw it as a provocation.

The old celestial master, his face dark, retorted, "Could it be... that Grand Master Lingyu wants this old man to feed him?"

"This disciple dares not," Zhang Lingyu hurriedly tried to save his life.

A moment later.

Zhang Lingyu took care of the baby and fed him, while Zhou Fengliu followed the old celestial master to a side room.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the window, refracting into the dusty air and creating the "Dali Garden" effect.

The old Celestial Master sat in the main seat, looked at Zhou Fengliu sitting in a chair beside him, and then spoke:

"Fengliu...Lingyu told you everything about that child's background?"

"Ah."

Zhou Fengliu nodded:

"He told me everything, including Ayu. You knew beforehand, so why was he keeping it from me..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, the old Celestial Master paused for a moment:

"Don't blame me for not telling you, I only just found out about this myself. Originally, Lingyu asked me to keep it a secret... and I was prepared to keep my mouth shut, but who would have thought that he would spill the beans first."

"?"

Hearing the old master's explanation, Zhou Fengliu hesitated slightly.

Keep your mouth shut?

Ah Yu said that she only revealed this matter after being instructed by the Old Celestial Master...

The master and apprentice... their testimonies don't match.

“Old Celestial Master, Ayu said that you asked him to say it…” Zhou Fengliu said tentatively.

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, the Old Celestial Master spoke without the slightest hesitation:

"That rebellious son always blames everything on this old man. When did I ever let him say anything..."

"Fengliu, this rebellious disciple still needs to be tempered. You'll have to put in a lot of effort."

After offering a brief explanation, the old master changed the subject again, asking abruptly:

"Since it's already happened, the old man won't ask any more questions. This child... what are your plans, Fengliu?"

This abrupt turn of events left Zhou Fengliu speechless for a second:

"Master, why are you asking this... do you perhaps have something on your mind?"

"I wouldn't say I have any thoughts, but I do have some concerns."

The old master shook his head, then shared his thoughts:

"I heard everything from my rebellious disciple. If it weren't for his momentary mistake, you and that vixen wouldn't have compounded your error. In the end, the Celestial Master's Mansion is inextricably linked to this..."

"Right now, that vixen is missing and has abandoned this child, while you, Fengliu, are at the height of your fame and have many enemies. If the child's true parentage is revealed, it will inevitably attract the attention of your enemies..."

"Fine, let my rebellious disciple atone for his mistakes, let him cover for you, and leave this child... at the Celestial Master's Mansion. My junior brother and I can help take care of him..."

Leave Tuantuan at the Celestial Master's Mansion... Will the Old Celestial Master take care of her?

Upon hearing the old master's thoughts, Zhou Fengliu's brows furrowed slightly.

"this..."

Seemingly noticing Zhou Fengliu's hesitation, the Old Celestial Master added:

"Of course, I don't mean any harm by being a womanizer; I'm just giving you another option..."

"Whether the child stays at the Celestial Master's Mansion or somewhere else... the final choice is still in your hands."

After hearing the old celestial master's words, Zhou Fengliu did not hesitate any longer and answered directly:

"I still have to thank you, Celestial Master, for giving me another path to choose from. But this child... since he's my offspring, naturally I'll raise him..."

"As for the fact that this child's existence will make our enemies covet it, I can only say, if they dare to covet it, then let them come..."

"If I can't even protect my own flesh and blood, then I've wasted my time as a strategic director..."

Zhou Fengliu's words were certainly not an exaggeration.

In China, given his position as a director of Nadutong, absolutely no one would dare to lay a finger on his daughter.

Looking at the world, even if some people have this idea, with the Sakura (Japan) as a shining example, they would probably have to think twice about how many missiles they can withstand...

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's reply, the old Celestial Master was slightly taken aback.

That sounds a bit arrogant, but Zhou Fengliu definitely has the right to be arrogant...

The old master was not shocked by Zhou Fengliu's arrogance, but by the fact that Zhou Fengliu actually had a father's sense of responsibility...

After all, Zhou Fengliu, both in appearance and in his actions, presented the image of a playboy...

Although it looks reckless, it's done with a certain level of skill, staying within the rules and not crossing the line...

Such a person, when faced with an unexpected responsibility, is able to accept and shoulder it...

This is hardly the Zhou Fengliu of the past!

...

Of course.

This is how the Old Celestial Master sees Zhou Fengliu. If those who truly understand Zhou Fengliu were to hear this, they would not be surprised.

Jay Chou, the CEO of Nadutong, has always been someone who does exactly what he's paid for... and takes on responsibilities commensurate with his position...

In the North China region, he was a grassroots employee, and his duty was to complete his assigned tasks.

In the South China region, he became the head of the South China region and the regional manager. His responsibility was to lead everyone to maintain peace in the region and make money.

Once he became the CEO of NaDuTong and deeply integrated with the company, his responsibilities transformed into those of a vital national asset, the Great Power Qi Engineering...

Faced with Hieiyama Shinobu's "undignified" behavior, he took the initiative to step forward, personally approach Sakura, and help her regain her dignity...

From beginning to end, Zhou Fengliu was just a figurehead, going through the motions...

Since he accepted the position, he accepted the responsibility...

This applies to work, and it applies to life...

...

Thank you all for your support O_o

Chapter 613 Fu Rong: Do you think I still have a chance? (Happy New Year's Eve)

Seeing that Zhou Fengliu's mind was made up, the old celestial master did not intend to persuade him any further.

"Since you've made up your mind about romance, then this old man won't say anything more..."

"However, this child lacks talent. Regarding his cultivation, you need to consider his romantic escapades more carefully; he must solidify his foundation..."

Listening to the old master's words, Zhou Fengliu truly understood the old master's thoughts.

I'm getting old, and I really want to take care of the kids...

Having stopped there, Zhou Fengliu spoke up as well:

"I'm only a novice when it comes to cultivation, Master. Once Tuantuan is a little older, I'll have her become your disciple. Please take good care of her..."

Upon hearing this, the old master's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected the turning point to be here.

It was truly a case of "when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up," and after much wandering, Tuantuan still ended up becoming his disciple...

He simply went from being a grand-disciple to becoming another of his closed-door disciples.
