Chapter 52 Arrangement
Chapter 52 Formation
After agreeing to contact Zhuo Yang regularly and providing him with some necessary information, Zhou Hanxiao left with her subordinates.
The police arrived shortly afterward, and Zhuo Yang promised to compensate Huang Jiaxin. He then made a phone call on the spot to ask Huang Jiaxin to pay the money before he managed to escape.
As Zhuo Yang walked out of the police station, he took a deep breath and felt that the world had really changed.
As more and more cultivators emerge, ordinary people do not resist them much, and even try to join the world of cultivators. This can be seen from the fact that Zhuo Yang lost his temper in the shopping mall and caused such a big commotion, but in the end he only had to compensate for the losses.
A silver-gray luxury car was parked on the side of the road. It was Dongfang Jiye's car. Huang Jiaxin got out of the car, her face looking rather pale.
"I'm fine, why are you looking so sullen?" Zhuo Yang laughed, feeling quite pleased to be cared for.
“Master…” Huang Jiaxin still looked worried. “I must report to you on today’s financial situation.”
Zhuo Yang didn't care. He told her to get in the car and talk slowly.
"I've already reviewed the revenue figures provided by Mr. Wu for today's pill sales event. The total revenue was 169 million, and your net profit is 118 million RMB."
"Not bad." Zhuo Yang nodded, as if he had expected it.
"Next is the expenditure." Huang Jiaxin glanced at Zhuo Yang, looking somewhat annoyed by his lack of ambition.
Zhuo Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled dryly, "Why are you looking at me like that? I don't have embroidery on my face."
"Your face may not be embroidered, but you're very good at showing off!" Huang Jiaxin said irritably.
This was the first time Zhuo Yang had ever seen an employee speak to their boss in such a tone, and he was momentarily confused.
"How do you plan to put on a show?" Zhuo Yang asked.
Huang Jiaxin adopted the air of a butler, turned a page in her notebook, and said seriously, "Today you fought with cultivators in a high-end shopping mall, damaging a total of twelve shops and causing losses of more than 46.8 million yuan."
"As you instructed, I have already compensated those shops. In order to make up for the losses, I asked Mr. Dongfang to help send people to move away all the undamaged goods, in preparation for selling them at a discount."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yang's eyelids twitched. "How much money was lost?"
"Forty-six million eight hundred thousand seven thousand three hundred yuan!" Huang Jiaxin said coldly. "Because those shops are all top-tier luxury brand stores, located in Lingzhou's most upscale shopping mall!"
Zhuo Yang was furious. Losing nearly 50 million at once would make anyone angry.
The worst part is that if he had known that using his primordial spirit to unleash thunder magic could scare Yuan Chen away, he wouldn't have needed to run away like a coward, and in the end, he even had to compensate for the losses.
"I will find someone to pay me back this money!" Zhuo Yang said coldly through gritted teeth.
"Master, I have something else to say!" Huang Jiaxin said with a serious and earnest expression, "If you want me to continue being your housekeeper, then please be restrained. It's best to avoid unnecessary expenses, otherwise I'll feel sorry for you!"
"Feeling sorry for her?" Zhuo Yang looked at her in surprise.
“That’s right.” Huang Jiaxin was a little embarrassed by Zhuo Yang’s gaze, but she still insisted, “I’ve never seen much of the world. Paying over 40 million in compensation in one go scared me so much that my heart was trembling. So I hope the boss can understand. Or, you could find a different housekeeper.”
Actually, she felt she was not up to the task, so she changed her tone and resigned to Zhuo Yang.
Zhuo Yang just smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a laugh, "Relax, it's just a little money, I don't care."
“But I do care!” Huang Jiaxin’s expression grew increasingly serious.
"Okay, okay, I admit it. I'll definitely be more careful in the future." Zhuo Yang chuckled, finding her even more beautiful and charming when she was serious. "However, you also need to change a bit. After all, you'll be managing more and more money in the future, so you can't always be so petty!"
"I will work hard to learn how to manage funds!" Huang Jiaxin smiled slightly, finally relaxing. She felt that Zhuo Yang had given in to her and would pay attention to her fund movements, and wouldn't act recklessly.
Yes, she's a good employee who cares about her boss.
The luxury car did not return to the Dongfang family, but went straight to Penglai Pavilion.
Not long after entering the community, Zhuo Yang saw the newly built wall. The design was novel, combining thorny vegetation with a three-meter high-speed rail fence. In time, the iron fence would be completely covered by thorns, which was both environmentally friendly and prevented ordinary people from entering.
Of course, for cultivators, there is no difference between having a wall and not having one; they can easily leap over it.
The luxury car was parked in front of a guard post halfway up the mountain. This was the main gate of the Half-Mountain Manor. Two security guards, Zhang De and Liu Quan, were on guard inside the post.
The two men immediately saluted upon seeing Zhuo Yang inside the car.
Zhuo Yang got out of the car, instructed the driver to return, and then walked towards Villa No. 101, which was not far away.
"Squeak!"
The little dog emerged from the grass, carrying a small bag on its back, looking incredibly cute.
She approached Zhuo Yang, took out a writing board from her backpack, and wrote: "Master, there is a space inside the mountain. Xiao Hei took me around, and it's huge!"
Zhuo Yang nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that there's space. Now Xiao Hei can move around freely, and we have another way out."
Little Diao found looking up too tiring, so he simply climbed onto Zhuo Yang's shoulder, sat upright, and continued writing: "Master, the villa is finished. I've been keeping a close eye on it these past few days, and there are no problems!"
One should always be wary of others, so Zhuo Yang swatted the little dog over and secretly kept an eye on it.
Nodding, Zhuo Yang asked again, "Have you discovered anything about the other things I instructed you to do?"
Xiao Diao shook his head and sighed, then wrote: "Two cultivators secretly went up the mountain, seemingly looking for something, but left after finding nothing."
"Looks like the cultivator is looking for that vengeful ghost." Zhuo Yang stopped and snorted coldly, "Did you remember what he looked like?"
Little Diao nodded.
"Well done." Zhuo Yang praised her, then swept his eagle eyes over her, "Little Diao, go and call Little Black out. You two will be my helpers. We'll... build a maze!"
If any cultivators come here again, they'll be in trouble!
Xiao Diao tossed the writing board into his backpack, jumped into the bushes, and ran off. Huang Jiaxin watched from the side, her face filled with undisguised anticipation.
What is a maze?
She stayed by Zhuo Yang's side until Xiao Hei appeared. The giant python's size was so frightening that she couldn't keep a straight face.
Zhuo Yang first located the array eye of the entire mountain, which was located right at the villa gate. Then, he swept his Qiankun bag at his waist, and the cold spring water in the jade bowl appeared in his palm.
A wave of cold air surged forth, crashing to the ground and instantly lowering the surrounding temperature by more than ten degrees.
Huang Jiaxin couldn't help but rub her arms, "It's so cold!"
Zhuo Yang said in a deep voice, "Follow behind me."
Immediately, he stepped out, and a newly built marble tile in front of the villa was lifted up, and a small pit was dug in the ground.
Zhuo Yang placed the jade bowl into the pit and silently recited the incantation. Soon, all the soil and rocks in the pit were frozen, with wisps of lightning flashing within them.
Marble tiles were laid back on the pit, and everything was exactly the same as before; the chill in the air was also dissipating quickly.
Afterwards, Zhuo Yang calculated the various small array points of the entire formation, then took sixty-four steps in each of the eight directions, and then buried a jade bowl containing cold spring water in the ground.
After the eight jade bowls were buried in various places on the mountain, Zhuo Yang stood above the core array eye in front of the gate, raised his arms, and activated the thunder magic...
Thunderclap!
