Chapter 152: Filming Conflict

36th floor, Great Flag Media.

Liang Shishi is not here.

The office door is also locked.

Lin Feng met a passing pretty female staff member.

Huh~

Another new face.

Looks like a recent college graduate.

She dresses somewhat conservatively, with a fresh and lovely appearance, unlike Zhu Li who has become an old temptress.

"Lin, Director Lin, hello!"

The female staff member bowed slightly to Lin Feng.

"Do you know me?"

Lin Feng was surprised.

A sweet smile appeared on the female staff member's face: "There's a photo wall! Director Lin, your photo is up there."

Saying that, she pointed to a nearby wall.

"Oh oh! Where's your boss?" Lin Feng asked.

"Director Liang is on a business trip, but will be back tomorrow." the female staff member replied.

Lin Feng nodded, "Then go get busy!"

"Okay, Director Lin! Goodbye!"

The female staff member, a bit shy, waved at Lin Feng.

Next, Lin Feng arrived at Wen Keke's office.

Of course, no one was there.

Wen Keke is Liang Shishi's assistant; she must have gone out together.

Zhu Li, however, was present.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Zhu Li felt a bit feverish.

Her face turned red.

Originally, Lin Feng came to ask about Han Xiang's situation.

Liang Shishi knows, Wen Keke knows, but Zhu Li might not.

Lin Feng also couldn't be bothered to bring it up again.

After chatting a few sentences, Zhu Li insisted that Lin Feng tell a story.

That really won't do; we just told a story a moment ago.

Lin Feng's thoughts drifted back to how things were at three o'clock this afternoon.

With a "creak," Lin Feng looked at Wu Qian in surprise.

He had never seen anyone love ice pops so much.

That smile on her face, that absorbed gaze...

Soon Lin Feng came to somewhat understand Wu Qian.

When a woman goes crazy for you, she treats every word of yours as a rule.

Every move and expression of yours will fascinate her.

Not to mention the ice pop you bought for her.

To Wu Qian, this might be the most delicious thing in the world.

Lin Feng took the ice pop from Wu Qian's mouth.

Then, amidst Wu Qian's surprised expression, he had her sit on the sofa.

"Calm down a bit."

Lin Feng said lightly.

Wu Qian gave a charming look and said, "Drinking an ice pop like this cold drink, isn't that just cooling down?"

Cough cough!

Lin Feng coughed twice and said, "Your salary probably isn't enough to pay the rent, right?"

Wu Qian was startled, then nodded, "My usual salary plus bonus is 6500 per month."

Lin Feng took out a cigarette.

Wu Qian quickly took it.

She imagined lighting a cigarette for Lin Feng as before.

But thinking she had just been eating an ice pop, she placed the filter to Lin Feng's mouth and lit it with a lighter.

Lin Feng took a deep puff, slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and said, "Then why are you still renting such an expensive place?"

Wu Qian lowered her head.

Lin Feng asked again, "Does your bank have performance metrics? Like getting clients to deposit money, with commissions and such."

Wu Qian nodded and said, "Yes, if you can bring in daily average deposits of over 50 million, you can be promoted to manager. With daily average deposits over 100 million, you can earn an annual salary of over 300,000."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Alright then! Anyway, I have some money sitting in the bank basically untouched; you can take it to boost your performance. But the rent cannot be reduced by even a cent."

"How much?"

Wu Qian asked.

Lin Feng smiled, didn't give a specific number, but said, "Enough to make you a client manager, so you can find excuses to go out and play every day, and still have an income of several hundred thousand per year."

That would be over 100 million in deposits, possibly even a fixed-term deposit.

That kind of situation—bringing in a hundred million today and then transferring it out after two days—is not counted toward performance evaluation.

After the main business was finished, Lin Feng and Wu Qian began telling a story.

"It's a xianxia story, and it also contains the great way of business."

Lin Feng said lightly.

"Oh~"

Wu Qian looked at Lin Feng with a face full of curiosity.

Her eyes were full of anticipation.

Lin Feng said lightly: "What I just said is a kind of mutual benefit. I will also tell a mutual benefit story."

Once there was an Immortal Mountain, graceful and serene, possessing spirit, but because it was too close to the mundane world, it was early stained by the dust of mortals.

It seemed impossible to cultivate it into an Immortal Mountain.

The only way was for a cultivator to take a liking to it and change its vital pulse.

One day, it finally waited for the opportunity.

A cultivator came to this place and, by chance, saw this Spirit Mountain.

The Spirit Mountain also took a liking to this cultivator at first sight.

All that could be seen was that the cultivator's whole body emanated immortal energy, and at a glance one could tell his magic was extraordinary.

Thus, the Spirit Mountain invited the cultivator to explore the mountain range, hoping the cultivator would take a liking to it.

The Spirit Mountain felt that its only advantage was its naturally formed mountain range.

To this end, the Immortal Mountain also removed the black haze that shrouded the mountains, revealing its true form.

The most striking feature was the two peaks and one valley.

Those two mountain peaks stood upright, like two upside-down bowls.

And in that valley grew sparse spirit grass.

The cultivator glanced at the stream valley, shook his head, and said, "What a pity—it has already been searched by ordinary people, and the spiritual energy is gone."

The Spirit Mountain said, "This valley has abundant water sources and still teems with spiritual energy; Venerable One, you can investigate it thoroughly."

The cultivator thought it made sense, but worried the Spirit Mountain might be deceitful.

He therefore summoned a divine dragon to enter the valley and investigate.

"Wonderful!"

After a moment, seeing that the divine dragon was not only unharmed but even more lively, he praised it.

He then performed a technique to flip the Spirit Mountain over.

With a different viewpoint, the scenery naturally became another scene altogether.

All that could be seen was that the valley now hung high in the air, clamped between two protruding mountain cliffs, making it even more mysterious and unfathomable.

"Even more amazing!"

The cultivator sighed again in admiration.

The Spirit Mountain again invited the cultivator to enter the valley to cultivate.

The cultivator gladly went.

After the story was finished, Lin Feng asked with a smile, "Now that the story is over, what lesson have you drawn from it?"

Wu Qian said, "I understand— to gain benefits, one must give something up! I have lost a lot this time, so I'll be counting on you from now on."

Lin Feng shook his head and laughed heartily, saying, "That's not what I meant! It's a win-win: the cultivator and the Spirit Mountain cultivate spirit together, mutually benefiting and complementing each other, creating a win-win situation."

Wu Qian nodded and said, "It's already four in the afternoon; would you like to stay?"

She had been completely engrossed in the story Lin Feng just told, and now she feels a bit tired.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I've been to Yunsheng for a while, and tomorrow I'll start getting busy. Don't worry—I'll help you meet your performance target within this month."

"Mm!" Wu Qian smiled and nodded.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Li looked at Lin Feng, who refused to tell her a story, and said with a resentful expression.

Lin Feng gave an embarrassed laugh and said, "Nothing much—I'm just a bit tired; let's go out for dinner together tonight!"

"Sure!"

Zhu Li laughed happily.

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

After resting for half a day, his energy should have mostly recovered.
