Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: The Second-in-Command of the Manor (First Update)

Hua Hua was furious upon hearing this, "Only I can kill it. No one else can, they may end up killing a lot of people... How can it be considered a trophy then?"

"Alright, it isn’t a trophy," Feng Jun immediately switched his stance in support, Hua Hua had many good qualities, but it was just too proud and delicate.

However, encountering a monster at the Third Level of Qi Refinement in the Danxia Heaven Minor World, it really shouldn’t be counted as part of the loot.

Among the cultivators who entered the small world this time, besides Hua Hua, there was only Kunlun Yu Baiyi who was at the Qi Refinement Realm, because everyone was aware of his relationship with Luohua; he only brought two of his own Transcendent Mortal stage and one martial disciple, acting alone.

In fact, even without the connection to Luohua Manor, Kunlun was known for its fierceness among Daoist Sects and not good at maintaining interpersonal relationships, although there were a few houses in Daoist Sects with good relations, the relationship between Danxia Heaven and Kunlun wasn’t friendly, so everyone still had to show some respect to the host.

In fact, there were rumors that this minor world was controlled by a transcendent senior from Danxia Heaven, who would dare to offend the owner rashly?

Meeting this Bamboo Green King Snake, thanks to Luohua and Wudang’s five martial masters standing firm, they managed to not lose anyone, and it was Hua Hua who made the move to kill the opponent.

In short, this five-day trial had many small accidents, but overall it was still within a controllable range.

Both Gazi and Xu Leigang suffered some injuries, Xu Leigang was wounded protecting Yang Yuxin from a wild boar, while Gazi was bitten by a poisonous snake. Fortunately, Luohua’s healing medicine and Antidote Pill were effective, so there was no serious problem.

Interestingly, Little Celestial Master Tang Wenji got injured again by stepping into a pit while chasing prey, causing a sprain in her ankle...

Hua Hua had made itself known to all the participants of the trial and felt that it "shouldn’t be too high-profile," so it didn’t stay for the banquet in Danxia Heaven and flew back to Luohua voluntarily.

It also provided a piece of information, the five disciples from Luohua Manor hoped to share some of the game to take back to their families.

The game should be considered the manor’s harvest, yet the disciples all had their friends and families.

They felt that the game from the small world wasn’t as good as the Spirit Beasts Feng Jun brought back, but it was still a rare nourishing delicacy on Earth. They really wanted to take care of their families, but no one dared to mention it to Feng Jun—not even Gazi.

You should know, Gazi’s parents also watched Feng Jun grow up, and had a good relationship with Feng Jun’s parents. It wasn’t that Feng Jun was hard to talk to, but his Cultivation Level was getting higher and higher, which put pressure on others.

So, they asked Hua Hua to inquire on their behalf, could we do this?

Truth be told, they also had their reasons. There were thirty-six people participating in this trial, which was much more than last time and involved more Daoist Sects. It would be impossible to keep the game a secret once everyone took it back.

It can be foreseen that these items might occasionally appear on the market in the near future.

Since such items could soon be for sale on the market, the disciples suggested: We can buy them with money.

Feng Jun understood this sentiment. Without going into other reasons, the fact that Gazi wanted to honor his parents meant he couldn’t stop him.

Thus, he walked to the backyard, where Feng Jing was cultivating silently, so he did not speak out but entered the small building in the backyard.

Sister Hong and the Zhang sisters, Cai Xin, were sitting in the hall on the first floor, chatting about something, all smiles and laughter.

Feng Jun stepped forward and shared the thoughts of the five disciples going around, concluding with, "I plan to divide the game into ten portions, with two portions for the five people who went and one portion for those who stayed behind. The remaining seven portions stay with the Manor... What do you two think?"

"That sounds great," Sister Hong answered with a smile, "Those of us who didn’t go also get a share, of course, I’m happy."

"I think it’s good too," Zhang Caixin nodded as well. She had participated in the last trial, and afterwards, there was no distribution of game, but it ended up being used within the manor, so there was nothing to complain about.

Then Feng Jun looked at Sister Hong, "It’s better if you announce this. If I made this rule for distribution, it would be difficult to change in the future, understand?"

"I understand," Sister Hong replied without hesitation, "You just need someone to take the blame, it’s not convenient for you to express your view openly, so you want me to take the blame... Is that what you mean?"

Feng Jun chuckled dryly, "Heh, this shows you hold a high status in the manor, the number two!"

Sister Hong was overjoyed, while Zhang Caixin couldn’t help but purse her lips and arch her eyebrows slightly.

"Also," Feng Jun remembered something else, "The money will arrive in a day or two, this time it’ll be almost fifty billion, we can proceed with the flour business."

"Fifty billion?" Sister Hong’s eyes lit up again, "What business did you do to earn so much?"

"Got a batch of graphene, the high-quality kind," Feng Jun said with a smile, recounting the events with a sense of pride.

Sister Hong nodded without saying much, but Zhang Caixin seemed a little miffed, "Why give them such a big profit? Elder Yu is too much, eating and staying for free at someone else’s place, and still abusing their generosity... Can’t he just help out casually?"

Feng Jun had to patiently explain the reasons behind it again.

Zhang Caixin still seemed indignant, "Sis, since the price of graphene has skyrocketed, you should join in the trade, right? Even an old lady buying vegetables knows to sell high and buy low. Even if it’s tricky to find buyers for graphene, with your ability, it should be no problem."

Sister Hong gave her a look and shook her head, "Caixin, I could probably sell some now, but it’s not the way to do things. One must not be too absolute in the world of business... If the boss yields some profit, it draws people who share interests to help him deal with troubles."

Feng Jun cast a dubious glance at Zhang Caixin, thinking to himself that he hadn’t seen her this impulsive on normal days. Why so aggressive today? Could it be that... you’re discontented with me for letting Sister Hong announce the distribution of the game?

He did know that Xiao Caixin always regarded herself as the second in command of the manor, and he had never denied it.

However, the current issue was that even Feng Jing had found his sense of existence, with only Sister Hong feeling a bit lost.

The mighty Sister Hong of society, who also commanded a large number of employees as a boss, found herself lost in Luohua Manor, feeling somewhat marginalized.

Feng Jun was not speculating; the increasing difficulty of the Yoga sessions was proof enough, as Sister Hong has been not only upping the difficulty but also very proactive lately...

So he felt he should find something for her to do, after all, she was his only beautiful female boss whom he truly respected.

Therefore, he smiled and shook his head, forgiving Xiao Caixin’s childlike behavior.

It was Sister Hong who spoke again, "There’s no problem with the grain matter now, we are just waiting for the committee’s final approval. Don’t worry, it will be settled in a few days."

Feng Jun smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhang Caixin, "How about this, Caixin, can you help purchase some lithium batteries? I don’t need to emphasize the delivery rules again, you surely know them."

Zhang Caixin blinked, "Lithium batteries... will we need a lot of them?"

"Of course," Sister Hong answered casually, "given the delivery rules he mentioned, it’s going to be a substantial amount."

These two sisters weren’t far apart in age, but in terms of worldly wisdom, they were worlds apart.

"As long as the quantity is sufficient," Zhang Caixin became excited, she has been feeling a little displeased lately, having been stuck at the Ninth Level of Mortal Refinement for "quite a while" and "just couldn’t" advance to the Qi Refinement Realm, how could she, self-declared as the second in command of the manor, cope with that?

It wasn’t that she was seeking quick success; it was rather... Feng Jun was advancing faster than her, which made her anxious— I can’t fall too far behind him. So she hoped, while eagerly wanting to break through to the next level, she could also contribute more to the manor and realize her self-worth.

"How many batteries do you plan to buy?"

Feng Jun replied, "Take note, 120-volt battery packs with a capacity of 400 ampere-hours... let’s start with two thousand packs."

Zhang Caixin genuinely didn’t understand these technical specifications, but she could ask, "How much does one pack cost?"

Feng Jun pondered for a moment, "Stick to the big brands mainly, one pack shouldn’t exceed two hundred thousand yuan."

"Two hundred thousand?" Zhang Caixin’s eyes swirled, a bit excited, "A four billion yuan deal?"

Seeing her excited expression, Feng Jun smiled, "It would be best not to exceed four billion yuan."

"Wait a minute," Sister Hong interjected, she looked at her sister and spoke, "I suggest you discuss this with Hai Feng, his father is in the manufacturing business, and he is quite familiar with some battery factories, they all provide supporting services."

She was well aware of Xiao Caixin’s background; her sister was strong-willed and not stupid, but the key issue was... she lacked experience.

Zhang Caixin shot a resentful glance at her without speaking.

Seeing this, Feng Jun stood up, "Alright, you two talk. By the way, Sister Hong, when you announce the allocation of quotas tomorrow, find a private spot; I won’t be attending."

After saying that, he left, leaving the two sisters looking at each other.

After a while, Zhang Caixin, clearly not satisfied, spoke up, "Sister, what do you mean? You don’t trust me that much?"

"I’m just worried you’ll get too excited," Sister Hong answered leisurely, "Battery procurement is not like graphene, no one is competing with you."

Zhang Caixin blinked twice, puzzled, "What about graphene?"

"Don’t play that with me," Sister Hong’s face took on a sly smile, "You’re definitely not worried about Xia Xiaoyu, but dealing with Yu Qingzhu... that must be a lot of pressure, right?"

"That’s just ridiculous!" Zhang Caixin stood up and stormed off, "I’m going to cultivate!"

"Sigh," Sister Hong exhaled while watching her leave, thinking to herself, others may not see your animosity towards Yu Qingzhu, but how could I not?

The next day, Yang Yuxin and the rest didn’t get up too early, only arriving at Zhengyang around five in the afternoon.

During the trip, Director Yang had already communicated with Feng Jun, and she agreed without hesitation to Feng Jun’s request to procure grains from the national reserve. However, since Feng Jun preferred wheat, she said she was only confident about sourcing it from two northern provinces.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Jun couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Look at how straightforward Yang Yuxin is, offering help without hesitation, while Elder Yu is indeed a bit indecisive.

There’s no fear in not knowing the goods, but fear in comparing them.

What made him even happier was that Yang Yuxin had also arranged for communication experts to help with training, the same two experts as before—there are really not many communication experts with a Haozhou accent.
