The guests soon noticed that the inn had gained another key employee, and some discussed his background with curiosity. Although the inn had quite a few employees, only a handful were truly valued by the manager.
However, the new employees are all so good-looking, especially some of the female cultivators. Looking at Lu Yan's baby face, they feel like they can't get angry no matter what he does.
In terms of looks, Hu Jiu is undoubtedly the most outstanding. Although he usually appears gentle, he has a kind of aloofness that keeps people at a distance, and most people dare not approach him.
But Lu Yan was different. His baby face was particularly endearing, and he wasn't arrogant at all. He would smile at them and call them "sister" one after another, which melted their hearts.
In just a few days, Lu Yan became the most popular employee among the female guests.
An Ge looked at Lu Yan, who was adept at navigating social situations, and shook her head.
After spending a few days together, she figured out some of Lu Yan's personality traits. This guy seemed simple, but he was actually full of bad intentions. Every time An Ge saw that cute face, she felt a bit disconnected.
Come to think of it, the people around her don't quite match in appearance and personality.
Hu Jiu looks like a banished immortal, but once he opens his mouth, all his aloofness disappears, and he even has a bit of an arrogant personality.
Chang Jin has a cool and aloof face and doesn't talk much, but she is actually warm-hearted and gentle.
Rong Zhuo looked no more than middle-aged, but her speech and actions always gave her the feeling of an elderly person. Every time An Ge was in front of her, she showed a kind of docility that even she herself didn't realize.
Chef Wei is usually cheerful, but he is actually very emotional. He can be moved to tears by a TV series and it takes him a long time to recover. After hearing about Xiao Chen and the others' experiences, he was even more teary-eyed and prepared different nourishing dishes for them every day.
Only Chef Sun and Aunt Dan, these two bionic robots, can be so consistent inside and out.
An Ge snapped out of her thoughts and saw Lu Yan say something that made the female customers burst into laughter. If she didn't know that Lu Yan wasn't the type to cause trouble, she would never have left such a troublemaker in the shop.
Lu Yan left amidst the reluctant gazes of the female guests, rubbing his shoulder when no one was looking.
Hu Jiu went too far. He had only made a few jokes with the store manager, yet he was beaten up without leaving any marks, leaving him with no way to complain.
What's infuriating is that even with their cultivation levels suppressed, he still couldn't defeat Hu Jiu.
What's even more infuriating is that Hu Jiu wouldn't allow him to go to the Holy Spring to heal his wounds!
"How infuriating! He's disregarded our brotherhood of so many years. I've never seen him get angry so easily before." Lu Yan muttered as he walked, then suddenly seemed to remember something and his eyes widened.
"No way, Hu Jiu, that clueless old iron tree, actually blossomed? Tsk tsk, he has good taste. But I think it's a case of unrequited love! This is going to be interesting!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly felt his shoulder pain disappear. Seeing Hu Jiu's good fortune, a few more blows wouldn't be a problem.
An Ge was using her spiritual power to help the seeds grow in the field when Chi Mu unexpectedly approached her and asked if she could work at the inn.
An Ge looked at Chi Mu and noticed that he looked quite well. It seemed that the Holy Spring was able to counteract the toxins in his body. "You're not fully recovered yet, so you should get more rest." An Ge looked at Chi Mu and felt that he had a scholarly air about him and thought that such a person should be wielding a pen.
Chi Mu cupped his hands in greeting and handed the items in his hands to An Ge. "I'm feeling much better now. After a few more visits to the Holy Spring, the toxins will be completely cleared. These are some of my humble opinions on the development of the inn. Manager, please take a look and see if they are feasible?"
Chi Mu felt a little uneasy. After staying at the inn for a few days, his initial shock gave way to a desire to stay.
He was confident he could stay at an ordinary inn, but the Immortal Inn was extraordinary. His understanding of inns was only superficial, and he wasn't confident he could impress An Ge.
But now Prince Duan seems to be recruiting him. As a commoner, he has no choice but to seek refuge in an inn since he no longer wants to serve in the government.
An Ge curiously took it and saw that it was a business plan concerning the development of the inn. She quickly read through it and became more and more surprised.
It's not that Chi Mu's plan was particularly groundbreaking; An Ge had seen many of the measures in it before. The problem was, in this underdeveloped ancient era, for Chi Mu to create such a plan based on only a few days of experience was truly astonishing to An Ge.
Not to mention that some of the suggestions inside were more adaptable to this world than Ange had thought.
An Ge had an idea. If she could recruit someone who understood this world to help the inn develop, that would be ideal.
"You used to be in business?"
Chi Mu was unsure of An Ge's intentions, so she honestly replied, "I came from a poor family and focused on the imperial examinations. I achieved the highest score in all six levels of the examinations and then joined the army as a military advisor. I have never been involved in business. These are just some of my shallow opinions, and I hope the shopkeeper will find them laughable."
"No, no, your plans are very good."
Achieving the highest rank in the imperial examinations is a feat considered a stroke of genius, especially considering Chi Mu's combined literary and martial talents. The fact that she formulated such a plan in just a few days demonstrates her exceptional abilities. It's truly a waste of her talent to have her work as an employee.
Chi Mu was unaware of An Ge's thoughts, but he was delighted to have gained An Ge's appreciation. "Then, does the store manager agree to my coming here?"
An Ge bit her lip, and seeing the longing in Chi Mu's eyes, she hesitated before nodding. "You can work with Xiao Chen to manage the supermarket for now. Xiao Chen will talk to you about the benefits and compensation. There's no rush; you can go when you're fully recovered."
Alright, let him work at the inn for now, and we'll see if he finds a better place to work later.
An Ge could also glean some insight from Chi Mu's experience. Such a person once harbored ambitions, but it is unknown what happened to cause him to be poisoned.
Everyone has their own secrets, and An Ge didn't want to pry into them.
Seeing An Ge nod, Chi Mu breathed a sigh of relief and felt more hopeful for the future. He bowed deeply, "Thank you, manager. I'll take my leave now."
After Chi Mu left, An Ge squatted on the ground without any regard for her image.
My goodness, she's really becoming more and more successful; even the top scholar who passed the imperial examination with six top marks is now working for her.
Honestly, I feel a little uneasy!
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Getting along with the people here was fine in every other way, except that they were all too particular about etiquette, and even she had started to act formally.
"I'm really tired. I hope things will get better with time. It's still more comfortable being with Yunmo. I haven't seen him in a while. I wonder how that kid is doing now?"
Looking at the seeds that showed no sign of sprouting, An Ge sighed, "I used to think that Rongzhuo's germination process was very simple, but now that it's my turn, I realize it's just too difficult."
Although no seeds sprouted, An Ge felt that her control over the elements had become more refined, and the spiritual energy within her body had increased significantly. She was just waiting for the right opportunity to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"I'd better start cultivating first." After saying that, An Ge mobilized the spiritual energy in her body and resignedly began cultivating again.
