Chapter 574: Chapter 573: Oh No, I Was Overthinking It—So Embarrassing~ (Second Update)
The Dragon Spirit, seeing its timid ’little brother’, became infuriated and kicked it.
"Look at you, you have no semblance of the Turtle Minister at all!"
Sea Turtle: ...
Is it possible that I’m just an ordinary useless sea turtle?
But even if the sea turtle was indeed a bit silly, it knew it couldn’t say that, so it stubbornly kept its head tucked inside, refusing to come out!
The Dragon Spirit, having no other choice, picked up the turtle.
Luckily, his temper was better now, and he didn’t love eating these spiritual creatures; otherwise, with his old temperament, he would have swallowed the turtle in a bite just to vent.
"Truly useless!"
The next day, those who had come out of Death Mountain slept in until the sun was high before getting up.
Du Jun earnestly invited Yun Ran and the others to visit their Sihui Sect, but Yun Ran declined.
"You must be very busy ahead, so carry on with your business. I’m planning to head back."
Yun Ran didn’t like visiting other sects, especially when the host might be extremely busy.
Du Jun was a bit regretful; he sincerely wanted to invite Yun Ran.
He could only bring up another matter: "Master Yun, our Sihui Sect wants to cooperate with Qingfeng Temple to sell a batch of Family Reunion Talismans. What do you think?"
The inauguration ceremony at Qingfeng Temple hadn’t even taken place, and the first business deal was already here?
Yun Ran had never thought the future Qingfeng Temple would just sit around doing nothing, relying on her private funds for support.
No matter how rich you are, it’s not sustainable; you must have your core industry.
"For this matter, you can contact Xin Fu next time. From now on, he will manage the logistics at Qingfeng Temple!"
Yun Ran planned to delegate all trivial matters at Qingfeng Temple, and since Ginsengfruit still appeared as a child, an adult was needed externally.
Xin Fu, upon hearing this, immediately stepped forward. He knew Ginsengfruit was his ’superior’.
But this did not prevent his excitement at the moment, representing that he was also a person of real authority.
"Rest assured, Master, I will handle this matter well!"
After verbally agreeing on these matters, Du Jun left with the others.
"Pack up, we should head back too. In a few days, the inauguration ceremony will be held. Although most things are delegated, you still have to go and see for yourselves!"
"Yes, Master!"
Ginsengfruit emerged at this time, holding a computer, as he had been in contact with task contractors overseas all night.
It’s because he doesn’t need sleep, otherwise, adjusting to the time difference would be hard.
"Host, they have already checked the video we sent, and in a few days, they will send someone to pick up these items. Once confirmed, the reward money will be transferred."
A huge amount of funds was about to arrive, giving Yun Ran, previously drained by Qingfeng Temple’s construction, a sense of relief.
"Okay, you just focus on this matter. In the future, tasks for Qingfeng Temple will be your responsibility.
Also, you will not only be the head senior brother at Qingfeng Temple but also the Grand Steward, managing all affairs."
Seeing Ginsengfruit was only a little child, if others knew, they might accuse Yun Ran of exploiting child labor.
"Rest assured, Host, I will oversee the tasks you give me carefully."
Little Paperman had already packed the luggage, and Sihui Sect arranged a car to the airport, waiting at the courtyard entrance.
Before leaving, Yun Ran remembered they hadn’t sent an invitation to Sihui Sect for the inauguration ceremony yet.
Previously it was due to lacking ties. Also, Sihui Sect was somewhat remote, not significant among Xuan Sect groups, more like a minor local snake.
But now, Sihui Sect was about to become Qingfeng Temple’s first collaborator.
Despite their moderate overall strength, they had large numbers; Qingfeng Temple’s talisman paper needed selling to both the elite and the common crowd, following a strategy of low margins, high volume.
While getting into the car, Yun Ran told Xin Fu: "Remember to send an invitation to Sihui Sect for the inauguration ceremony."
Xin Fu nodded quickly but was inwardly surprised.
Although everyone is a Xuanmen person, in fact, a sense of hierarchy permeates it.
For instance, those with ancestral heritage look down on new Xuanmen forces, those with some wealth look down on those with less.
Sihui Sect was the kind-of-wealthy distant local ruler, whereas Qingfeng Temple had both ancestral roots and was a new force with formidable support.
Normally, it would be normal for Sihui Sect to flatter Qingfeng Temple, even looking up to them wouldn’t be odd.
But for Sihui Sect to be seated at the table was not eligible.
Yet now, the master was willing to give Sihui Sect an invitation, implying Qingfeng Temple was willing to lend a hand, offering Sihui Sect a chance to level up.
The class structure in Xuanmen was already fixed, breaking through it and rising was immensely difficult.
Xin Fu’s astonishment came from this; he truly felt Sihui Sect’s luck was indeed good.
It just so happened they entered the master’s favorable view.
Had Yun Ran known Xin Fu’s thoughts, she would have rolled her eyes.
Just providing future earning partners a chance to show face, yet it inspired so much imagination!
As they returned to Hai City, they saw a row of luxury cars from afar.
"Which big shot is out? Tsk tsk, such pomp..."
After sighing, Yun Ran looked towards her own car at the back. With a big shot present, her car was relegated to the back.
Just then, Ginsengfruit tugged on Yun Ran’s sleeve.
"Host, doesn’t that person look familiar?"
Yun Ran followed Ginsengfruit’s gaze and wow, it was indeed a familiar face.
Xie Xuzhi was dressed in Haute Couture, exuding the aura of a grand president. After he got out of the car,
everyone else from the row of luxury cars followed suit, posing like an idol drama.
Then, Yun Ran hid behind Xin Fu, feeling that kind of embarrassment from seeing an acquaintance trying to show off.
Xie Xuzhi approached, walking past Yun Ran without so much as a look.
Yun Ran: ...
Oh well, mistaken thoughts and now even more embarrassed~
