You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 876 - 708_3

Chapter 876 -708_3

“The cultivators of our Extreme Emotion Sword Dao should choose ordinary and manageable cultivators as their training targets…”

Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t help but say, “Ancestor, times have changed. The new generation of cultivators doesn’t fuss over these things. Any form of cultivation is just a means to improve one’s Immortal Path techniques.”

“Besides, Zhang Yu is not only my cultivation partner but also my good brother, a good son, a good father. If it weren’t for him supporting me with his part-time jobs back then, I might still be on the first floor.”

Bai Zhenzhen sighed, “I’m not someone who forgets their roots. I won’t hinder my good brother’s progress for the sake of my own cultivation.”

“In fact, if my good brother needs it, I wouldn’t mind helping him with anything.”

Hearing Bai Zhenzhen’s words, the Sword Spirit paused slightly, then sighed deeply before disappearing into the air.

“How unfortunate, how did the new generation successor of our Extreme Emotion Sword Dao become like this?”

Bai Zhenzhen glanced in the direction where the Sword Spirit disappeared and consoled, “Ancestor, everyone is progressing, you can’t just stay stagnant either.”

Sword Spirit: “Get lost!”

Bai Zhenzhen shook her head and could only continue watching the live broadcast of the press conference.

…

Near the Great Void.

Yu Xinghan was watching the Wanfa University press conference live stream with many colleagues.

This was considered a company team-building activity, and under Zhang Yu’s directive, this time was not only not considered a break but was counted as overtime, with overtime pay to be paid.

So, all the employees watching the press conference on-site were full of joy, with unprecedented relaxation on their faces.

As if joking… getting paid overtime without working was something they never dared to imagine.

When this situation was talked about by the employees, no one believed it and suspected it to be some kind of scam.

Watching all this, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, “What is Zhang Yu thinking? This round of overtime pay is going to cost quite a bit.”

Yu Xinghan wasn’t the only one with similar thoughts. People like Fu Ji, Ying Xin, and others opposed this practice further.

Especially Fu Ji, who felt heartbroken over the practice of paying overtime wages without real overtime.

“Paying overtime for no reason is a destructive act, and if this continues, the school will no longer be a school, and the country will no longer be a country!”

But Fu Ji’s earnest advice couldn’t stop Zhang Yu’s arbitrary decisions.

While contemplating, Yu Xinghan glanced at the appearance of many employees around him.

Unlike many other construction companies and crews, Yu Xinghan found that at some point, the employees in their company all seemed to be slimmer, with more classical appearances.

Initially, he found it strange. After some research, he realized that it was because people with such appearances and looks were more easily recruited by their company.

“Is it because of… Zhang Yu’s aesthetics?” Yu Xinghan thought to himself, “More and more people are catering to Zhang Yu’s taste.”

“Because everyone gradually discovers that the more they conform to this aesthetic, the easier it is to get close to Zhang Yu, gain opportunities, and get a raise…”

Looking at a few men and women passing by who somewhat resembled himself, Bai Zhenzhen, and Le Mulan, Yu Xinghan couldn’t help but shake his head, “As Zhang Yu’s status rises, his influence really is growing.”

Yu Xinghan knew well that all this wasn’t just about appearance.

For example, within the company, the Songyang Gang was composed of old folks from the first layer of Songyang City.

It seemed they realized that folks from the same place were more easily employed and promoted by Zhang Yu. Thus, more and more Songyang people entered the company and intuitively mimicked Zhang Yu’s style of taking care of fellow townspeople, showing remarkable unity.

Knowing Zhang Yu values old relationships, preferring to care for his people with an ancient demeanor, Yu Xinghan once heard people in the Songyang Gang saying things only ancient people would say, such as loyalty comes first, ready to do anything for a friend…

Watching Zhang Yu shine brightly at the press conference, Yu Xinghan seemed to see his influence ready for another surge, affecting the entire company, the entire school, and even other schools more and more.

Just then, as Zhang Yu announced the Shared Cloud Collection plan, the on-site employees erupted in cheers.

On the other side, Ying Xin, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan, Shi Yunxiang, and others were all eyes gleaming.

Ying Xin: “Shared Cloud Collection? Will this thing become a space equipment that everyone uses like the Eye Remains in the future?”

Shi Huaiyu nodded repeatedly, deciding, “I must also pursue a master’s in the Artifact Refining Department.”

Shi Yunxiang looked at Zhang Yu on the stage of the press conference and thought, “Even if the Civil Engineering Department makes good money now, from a long-term perspective, it’s ultimately not as good as the Artifact Refining Department.”

They all had the same thought: leaving the Civil Engineering Department and the construction company would allow them to follow Zhang Yu into new fields.

This included various rational analyses, along with an intuitive feeling and trust.

That is, they felt that getting closer to Zhang Yu and following him well would give them greater prospects on the path to the Immortal Path.

Not far away, Yu Xinghan could sense many of the Ten Thousand Laws Earth People’s thoughts. It wasn’t just people like Ying Xin, Shi Yunxiang, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan in their company who thought this way; many other students in the Civil Engineering Department thought so too.

Yu Xinghan sighed, “Everyone regards Zhang Yu as the best role model, wanting to imitate Zhang Yu’s growth path, jumping from civil engineering to artifact refining.”
