Chapter 4 What are you laughing at foolishly
"We immortals do not need to eat, but if you can get some good wine..." Guangyuanzai smacked his lips. In the realm of immortals, Guangyuanzai is renowned as a wine immortal, spending his days practicing immortal techniques and drinking alone. He has also acquired quite a few celestial herbs to brew exquisite wine.
The older security guard watched Lin San leave and scoffed, "Wasting half a day for no reason."
With a whoosh, a silver Mercedes-Benz sped past Lin San, racing forward.
Lin San was taken aback: "Guangyuan Zixian, what happened? Is it very unpleasant to drink?" After saying this, Lin San felt a bit nervous in his heart
After the explanation by Guangyuanzi, Lin San finally understood that the red dots in the booklet represent the acupuncture points of the human body. The movement of the red dots also follows a certain pattern. First, Lin San must familiarize himself with all the acupuncture points of the human body. Then, according to the sequence and pattern of the red dot movements, he must absorb the weak spiritual energy from the surrounding air (in simple terms, this refers to the pure breath without impurities). Once Lin San has absorbed a certain amount of spiritual energy into his body, he can gradually improve his constitution and form a Dantian (the place for storing breath) within his body. Only after the Dantian is formed can one be considered to have truly entered the realm of cultivation. As the breath stored in the Dantian increases, he will eventually break through and condense it into a Golden Elixir. Once the Golden Elixir is formed, one can be regarded as a semi-immortal body. After condensing the Golden Elixir, one can then learn more profound immortal techniques. In summary, the process is very complex and cannot be accomplished in a day or two; it requires long-term practice. Once the Golden Elixir is formed, one can be regarded as a semi-immortal body. After condensing the Golden Elixir, one can then learn more profound immortal techniques. In summary, the process is very complex and cannot be accomplished in a day or two; it requires long-term practice.
In essence, the booklet given by Guangyuanzi to Lin San is intended to alter the system and absorb spiritual energy; it can also be regarded as an introductory technique for practicing immortal arts. The booklet consists of a total of 10 pages, corresponding to what is referred to as 10 levels. In the realm of immortals, this is known as the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage, which is divided into 10 levels. Upon breaking through the 10th level, one can condense the Golden Elixir and become a semi-immortal being. Beyond the Golden Elixir stage, there are further divisions into the Nascent Soul stage, the Spirit Transformation stage, the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and the Immortal stage.
Lin San stared blankly at Guangyuanzi, twitching the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself: Even immortals enjoy drinking Erguotou
The woman who just walked in is now slowly coming out of the building
Through the introduction by Guangyuanzi, Lin San gained a completely new understanding of the world, realizing that there are countless unknowns in this world
"Lin San, the manager is calling you," shouted an employee at Lin San
Lin San was feeling somewhat down. Throughout his life, he had never been away from his parents. Even during college, he would often return home to stay. Now, with his parents suddenly returning to their hometown to start a farming business, Lin San felt quite melancholic. To be honest, Lin San did not particularly like the information-blocked environment of his hometown. It is likely that any ambitious young person would prefer to live in a bustling metropolis.
"What plan document?" Lin Sanyi was taken aback
Lin San's heart was in turmoil. Ever since he encountered that young lady from a wealthy family on Taitung Road the day before yesterday, he had been preoccupied with thoughts of her. It could be said to be love at first sight. Every night, Lin San dreamed of that young lady, and in his heart, he had already regarded her as the goddess of his dreams. The recent recruitment of security personnel by the Dingsheng Group presented a splendid opportunity to get closer to the goddess of his dreams. Every night, Lin San dreamed of that young lady, and in his heart, he had already regarded her as the goddess of his dreams. The recent recruitment of security personnel by the Dingsheng Group presented a splendid opportunity to get closer to the goddess of his dreams.
Until the woman completely disappeared from sight, Lin Sancai came to his senses, swallowed hard, and strode to the entrance of the building the woman had entered. Without a second thought, he lifted his foot and intended to enter the building
"What? Did you forget?" Manager Li's eyes widened: "What were you doing? I reminded you countless times to ensure that the plan was ready by Monday. I am anxiously waiting for it, and you actually forgot?"
In the realm of immortals, there are also classifications among the immortals, which are as follows: Immortal, Spirit Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Luo Tian Upper Immortal, and Immortal Emperor
The morning passed quickly
Guangyuanzai stood to one side, intently observing the television, occasionally letting out a gasp of astonishment. This television truly amazed Guangyuanzai; even with magical powers, it would not necessarily be possible to refine such a wondrous object as a television.
The next day, Lin San emerged from the bedroom with two dark circles under his eyes. Last night, Lin San had chatted with Guangyuanzai until after 2 AM. If it weren't for Lin San being utterly exhausted, he probably could have talked with Guangyuanzai all night long
Application on the 18th. Lin San checked the calendar and noted that today is the 16th, meaning the interview is the day after tomorrow. He put down the calendar and made a silent decision: he would go to Ding Sheng Group to apply for the security position the day after tomorrow, as this would give him the opportunity to meet the goddess of his dreams
Oh, it's that beautiful woman who just walked in.
The slightly older security guard frowned and said, "You mentioned you were looking for someone, who are you looking for?"
Today is Monday, a workday. Lin San had some breakfast, greeted Guang Yuanzi, and hurriedly ran out the door
After purchasing some bread and biscuits, along with a few bottles of Erguotou at the mall, Lin San returned home carrying these items
Lin San pouted: "Goodness, after all this commotion, it turns out to be the young lady from a wealthy family!"
Guangyuanzi took the Erguotou, opened the cap, and took a sip, his eyes instantly widening.
Dingsheng Group? Isn't that the company owned by the wealthy young lady's father that I saw on Taitung Road the day before yesterday?
"Well... I only have these two bottles at home. If you really like it, I can buy you some more later," said Lin San
Time flies swiftly, and before one knows it, it is time to leave work
Manager Li snorted coldly: "If you are not satisfied with my punishment, feel free to complain to the boss"
After going downstairs, Lin San arrived at the bus stop by the roadside and took the bus to the internet company where he works
At this time, a recruitment advertisement appeared on the television: Due to business expansion, Ding Sheng Group urgently needs to hire several security personnel. Interested parties are invited to attend an interview at Ding Sheng Group on the 18th. The probation period is three months, with a salary of 1,200 yuan. After the internship period, the salary will be 1,500 yuan
Oh, I don't recognize..." Lin San tilted his mouth.
Upon seeing Lin San walk in holding a bottle of Erguotou, Guangyuanzai's face immediately lit up with joy. Without a second thought, he snatched the bottle and began to drink heartily.
Lin San was staring blankly at the woman, completely dazed, repeatedly thinking in his mind: How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world
The two security guards standing at the entrance extended their hands to stop Lin San: "I’m sorry, sir, but this is company property, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter"
Lin Sanzhang opened his mouth: "I apologize, Manager Li, I forgot about the proposal..."
The older security guard's expression darkened: "You don't know her, so why are you looking for Chairman Gu's daughter?" After saying this, he took a step forward, watching Lin San with vigilance.
Lin San's expression changed: "What? A deduction of half a month's salary?"
"So delicious! It's simply exquisite!" Guangyuanzi exclaimed, downing a bottle of Erguotou in one go: "It's tasty, really tasty!"
At noon, Lin San arrived at the company cafeteria to have lunch, ordered a bowl of cold noodles, and found a seat by the window.
Hmph! A mere employee dares to retort against me, truly seeking death. Manager Li snorted softly.
Lin San was taken aback, pointing at the Mercedes-Benz driving ahead and cursing loudly: "Damn! How are you driving? Don't you have eyes!"
Leaving the office, Lin San's face was ashen with anger; had it not been for the considerations of being in the company, he would have already erupted in a tirade.
"Wait a moment, I will go find something for you," said Lin San as he ran into the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinets until he found two bottles of Erguotou. He then handed them to Guangyuanzai, saying, "This is all we have at home, so make do with it." To be honest, Lin San felt a bit embarrassed; Erguotou was indeed too cheap. It was just that he couldn't find any other decent liquor at home. Lin San himself usually did not drink, and his father occasionally had a little, but to save money, they only bought inexpensive liquor like Erguotou.
Oh? Lin San suddenly widened his eyes, staring intently at the television screen
"No need, I will have someone else prepare the proposal. As for you, having made such a significant mistake, you must be severely punished, with a deduction of half a month's salary," said Manager Li
"I apologize, Manager Li. I encountered some matters over the weekend, and I completely forgot once I got busy," Lin San hurriedly explained
Lin San let out a sigh: "What grace and presence! If I could marry such a beautiful wife, I would gladly die for it." After a moment of admiration, Lin San turned and left.
"Listen carefully, there are only two options before you. The first is to deduct half a month's salary from you, and the second is to terminate your employment with the company. You choose." Manager Li said
"What? Gu Changfeng?" Lin San's eyes widened suddenly: "The richest man in Lanzhou!" Having lived in Lanzhou for so many years, Lin San had a particularly deep impression of two people: one was his first love, and the other was the richest man in Lanzhou, Gu Changfeng. Lin San admired Gu Changfeng from the bottom of his heart. Gu Changfeng could be considered a legend in Lanzhou, having started from scratch and built his fortune through hard work, becoming the richest man in Lanzhou. It can be said that Lin San had always regarded Gu Changfeng as his idol, yearning for the day when he too could create a brilliant career like Gu Changfeng.
Upon returning home, Lin San placed the wine in front of Guang Yuanzai, then walked into the kitchen to cook a pot of instant noodles. After serving two bowls, he came out and placed them on the coffee table, saying to Guang Yuanzai, who was enjoying his drink, "I made instant noodles; feel free to eat if you want." After saying this, Lin San plopped down on the sofa, casually turned on the television, and began to eat the noodles while watching the TV with great interest.
The Mercedes-Benz in front traveled several hundred meters and stopped at the entrance of a building. The car door opened, and a woman dressed in a blue long dress stepped out. She was tall, with long, black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her face had a slight rosy hue, her eyes were bright, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were a healthy red. She was, surprisingly, an extraordinarily beautiful woman
Lin San came to Taitung Road mainly to buy some daily necessities and food, and of course, to buy a few bottles of Erguotou for Guangyuanzi. With his parents not at home, Lin San has to take care of his own daily life.
"I still stand by my words. If you are dissatisfied, go and complain to the boss. Now, you need to leave immediately!" Manager Li's voice was cold and piercing.
"I am sorry, I am sorry, I will go and prepare the proposal immediately," Lin San repeatedly apologized
Manager Li looked up at Lin San and asked, "Is the project proposal ready?"
"Sir, I do not have the time to engage in idle chatter with you. If you have no other business, please leave and do not hinder my work," the older security guard said in a low voice.
"No, I..." Lin Sang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Manager Li
The two security guards at the entrance respectfully greeted the woman
I... I'm fine, you are busy, you are busy, I won't disturb you. Lin San noticed the security guard's unfriendly expression and wisely turned to leave
Oh, understood, I will go right away Lin San stood up and walked into the manager's office, respectfully addressing a man in his thirties wearing glasses: "Manager Li, did you call for me?"
After the television series concludes, advertisements are broadcasted.
"That's right," said the older security guard
Manager Li furrowed his brow and said, "Did I not instruct you last Friday to prepare an advertising plan? Today is Monday, and you still haven't completed it?"
In the afternoon, Taitung Road is still bustling with activity, teeming with crowds and people.
Manager Li waved his hand and said, "Stop telling me those objective reasons, Lin San. Do you know that because you forgot to prepare the project plan, I had to postpone the advertising production schedule? Do you realize how much loss this has caused the company?"
In no time, Guangyuanzi finished two bottles of Erguotou, wiped his mouth, and said with lingering desire: "Is there more? This wine is simply too delicious."
"Who are you looking for?" an older security guard asked, his gaze wary. Noticing Lin San's ordinary attire, which did not suggest any status, the guard's attitude was somewhat indifferent
The chairman of Ding Sheng Group, Gu Changfeng. The slightly older security guard hesitated for a moment and replied, this is not a secret, it is fine to tell Lin San.
Guangyuanzi only drinks alcohol and has no interest in the meals prepared by Lin San
Understood. Lin San did not turn back as he said this and directly went downstairs
"Ah? Manager Li, is it really necessary to impose such a severe penalty just for forgetting to submit the project plan?" Lin San said
Ah? My name is Lin San," Lin San said politely
Who is your big boss?" Lin San asked instinctively
At 2:00 PM, Lin San arrived at the office to work, his eyes still bleary with sleep
"No, two gentlemen, I am looking for someone..." Lin San hurriedly explained
"What? Do you have any objections to my punishment?" Manager Li said coldly
Manager Li ... ... Lin San still wanted to say something
Lin San sat down at his desk and casually opened his computer
Lin San felt a sudden jolt in his heart; indeed, last Friday, Manager Li had indeed instructed Lin San to prepare an advertising plan, but Lin San had forgotten about it
"I don't have time to chat with you; you need to leave now," Manager Li said with a stern expression
The woman got out of the car and walked straight into the building, where the security guards standing on either side of the entrance respectfully bowed to her.
Guangyuan Zihui waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about me, just do whatever you want." After saying this, he walked to the side, sat down on the floor, and spread his hands on his knees, adopting a meditative posture
The slightly older security guard scrutinized Lin San with a glance and asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Do you know our boss's daughter?"
"Why are you not speaking? Has the project proposal been completed or not?" Manager Li asked in a low voice
Manager Li, my monthly salary is barely enough to cover my living expenses. With you deducting half a month's salary all at once, I can no longer make ends meet... Lin San said
"It's settled then, I will be waiting. You must bring me the wine as soon as possible." Guangyuanzai did not expect that there would be such delicious wine in the mortal realm; its flavor was far stronger than that of the wines he had tasted in the celestial realm.
A few minutes later, Lin San hung up the phone, his expression somewhat sad. The call was from his parents, who said they would not be returning to Lanzhou City for the time being. They planned to set up a breeding farm in their hometown, which would also allow them to take care of their elderly grandfather. His parents advised Lin San to take good care of himself and to visit him in Lanzhou City when they had the time
A night has passed just like that
"Hmph! I don't care whether you can live or not; in any case, you have made a mistake, and I will punish you for it," said Manager Li
Lin San nodded slightly: "Rest assured, I always keep my word. Now, you take a break while I go prepare some food." Guang Yuanzi, being an immortal, does not require food, but Lin San, as an ordinary person, needs to eat to satisfy his hunger.
"Indeed? The woman who just entered is the only daughter of our big boss." The older security guard nodded.
Guangyuanzi, out of respect for Erguotou, answered all the questions raised by Lin San
Guangyuanzi shouted from behind: "Don't forget to buy me some wine."
Guangyuanzi glanced back at Lin San and said, "Why does your face look so bad?"
"No, Manager Li, there are many types of penalties. Please do not deduct my salary," Lin San pleaded.
After finishing his meal, Lin San went straight back to his dormitory for a nap. Although the salary at the internet company is not high, the work environment is quite relaxed and not tiring at all. This is also the reason why Lin San is able to stay at the internet company
Lin San tidied up a bit, then got up and left the company. After that, he bought two bottles of Erguotou nearby and took the bus back home
The woman did not even glance at the two security guards and directly got into the car and left
"What? The woman who just went in is your boss's daughter?" Lin San was taken aback, thinking to himself: No wonder the woman who just entered the building had such an outstanding demeanor; it turns out she is the daughter of the big boss
"Sir, what exactly do you want to do? Do you know Chairman Gu's daughter?" asked the older security guard.
After walking quite a distance, Lin Sancai stopped, turned his head to glance at the building, and pondered to himself: I never expected that the stunningly beautiful woman I just saw was actually the daughter of Gu Changfeng, the richest man in Lanzhou City, a genuine heiress. No wonder she exudes such elegance! Suddenly, Lin's eyes widened as he fixed his gaze on the entrance of the building.
In the evening, Lin San moved a stool to sit in front of Guangyuanzai, opened the booklet that Guangyuanzai had given him, and inquired about the matters of learning the immortal arts
Lin San shook his head: "I am fine." Lin San did not want to discuss family matters with Guangyuanzai. He took a moment to calm himself and asked, "Are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?"
In the afternoon, Lin San stepped out of his home and took the bus at the roadside to arrive at Taitung Road
Lin San took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and turned to leave the office
Lin Sanze went to the kitchen to cook
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Guangyuanzi said, giving Lin San a pat on the shoulder
No, I... I was just asking casually... Hehe..." Lin San's expression was somewhat awkward. At this moment, Lin San secretly blamed himself for being too impulsive in his actions. Now being questioned by the security guard was truly frustrating.
