Chapter 129 First, I committed the sin of arrogance
Due to the disciples' frenzy and unrest, the Qingyan competition was postponed for one day. Piaomiao Peak had no money and no manpower, so Ning Mingmei naturally did not let them go out. He made full use of the free time of the day, held a group meeting with everyone, and severely criticized Gui Taoran's independent behavior.
Gui Taoran burst into tears and made a promise: "Master, for the next few days, I will stay on Piao Miao Peak to plant trees and never go out again."
Ning Mingmei deeply agreed with it.
Even a free day is not a peaceful one. From morning to night, Ning Mingmei attended a total of five meetings.
The first is the Piao Miao Peak group that committed the sin of anger. In the Qingyan competition, Gui Taoran was obsessed with impulse, but because he achieved Ning Mingmei's vision of abusing fans for Piaomiao Peak, he was successfully bewitched by his dream, and as a rich second-generation, he ignited a full academic spirit. Ning Mingmei promised him.
Ning Mingmei commented on this: "Some time ago, the popularity of the Piao Miao Feng Men's Group has led to internal conflicts. For this reason, I found a solution. Through Gui Taoran's defeat, I created some negative public opinion for the Piao Miao Feng Men's Group and showed the team spirit. When the fans are abused by the outside world, they will temporarily give up internal conflicts and unite as one. My goal has been achieved again!"
Then, there was Sikong Tang who committed the sin of laziness. As Ning Mingmei's printer of architectural sketches, Sikong Tang felt exhausted after producing twenty rejected plans. Unlike the disciples of Piaomiao Peak, who had their proposal rejected by Ning Mingmei for more than 30 versions and were still struggling to find literature and reformat it. Fortunately, the interior design drawings have not yet been released, and Ning Mingmei gave them a chance to reform.
Ning Mingmei met with the people from Sikongtang. The people from Sikong Hall said, "Elder Ning, the sect is under martial law now, and our construction workers cannot come in."
Ning Mingmei had only one comment: "You are right. Since the construction problem cannot be solved..."
The person who brought the news just breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Mingmei: "Just get the interior design plan out as soon as possible. It just so happens that the Qingji Sect is under martial law, and you don't have to go out. Go ahead, a small construction project should not be a blocking issue for the big blueprint, don't use such small troubles to delay the construction period. Difficulties? Difficulties are just excuses for delaying."
You can also work from home. Shouldn’t wfh people do more work? Treating the company as your home is nothing more than this.
The messenger, whose architectural design plans had been rejected by Ning Mingmei for more than twenty versions, returned to Sikongtang with the news of the interior design plan that seemed dead. At this moment, Adai was lying in the inner hall of Sikong Hall.
She entered Qingji Sect to avenge Ning Mingmei, but has yet to see Ning Mingmei once - even though she has been there. The reason is simple. Ning Mingmei said, "It is my principle to refuse to report to higher-level leaders. If you have any questions, let your superior communicate with me."
The little demon girl had been a big shot in the chaotic job hierarchy for half her life, but when she returned to Qingji Sect, she was still at the entry level where she couldn't even meet the VP. She didn't even have a chance to sit at the table except at the annual meeting. How embarrassing it was.
Next is the Yinbingge programmer team who committed the crime of greed. The blockade of Qingji Sect did not bring any obstacles to the coding team. On the contrary, being trapped at home increased the time users spent on brushing the Feisi Book, and the load capacity of the Fu server increased significantly. Three of the six programmers who joined later have already joined the Feisi Book team, and are excitedly developing Feisi Book and Lianshu every day. Two programmers are developing CNKI, and one is looking for the direction of life.
Ning Mingmei is very satisfied with the coders' greed for traffic and self-performance, especially Bei Qiusuo, who is isolated by Ling Yuan and Wei Xi and is looking for the direction of life. The road is long and arduous, but I will search for it up and down. Bei Qiusuo, who committed the sin of greed, understood the true meaning of a programmer's life early on: there is no future in working for others. When he reaches the age of 350, he will be optimized, his equity will be diluted, and his talents will be exported to the demon world. The only way to maintain his competitiveness is to start a business.
However, Ning Mingmei is magnanimous and humble. Ning Mingmei pointed out a clear path for him: develop an educational supermarket shopping app so that disciples can order limited edition drinks and peripherals online without leaving home. No matter where in the world, the goods can be delivered quickly. Moreover, throughout history, people whose names contain the character "Ma" are very suitable to be capitalists. Therefore, this bright road was called Yamaxun.
Then, there is the Qingjizong Education Supermarket Small Commodity Group, which committed the sin of gluttony. Ning Mingmei met with Shen Liwan, Zheng Heguang, the head of Tiangongtang and Jiang Ying, who had newly joined the operation, to discuss sales matters.
Shen Liwan, who is in charge of the distribution of educational supermarkets and small commodities, is very anxious: "After the biting incident, our sales plummeted by 70%!"
The disciples were so frightened that they stayed at home. It is normal for sales to plummet.
Ning Mingmei told Shen Liwan to be patient, he was already thinking of a way (to squeeze Bei Qiusuo). Regarding the orders these days, we can send a disciple to each location to collect order information so that they can make centralized purchases. Then tell ordinary disciples that the goods will be sold out soon and they should stock up as early as possible.
After Shen Liwan left, it was Zheng Heguang. Zheng Heguang was responsible for selling the beverages to Qingji Sect, and was also responsible for purchasing the raw liquid from Ning Mingmei for reprocessing and expanding the production line. He expressed his concerns to Ning Mingmei: "Brother Ning, I can do business, but it's a bit difficult for me to expand the production line to such a large scale!"
Ning Mingmei said: "Don't panic, I will solve it quickly."
Isn't this a bet with Fang Wuyu?
Zheng Heguang left quickly. Then there is Tiangongtang. Tiangongtang came to Ning Mingmei with the blueprints. During this period, under the guidance of Ning Mingmei, they made souvenirs for the Qingji Zong Education Supermarket, such as eco-friendly bags with the school logo, kettles, notebooks, dolls, developing stones, etc., as well as some support items and Qingyan Dabi limited edition peripherals.
The head of Tiangong Hall said: "Brother Ning, the limited edition peripherals are selling very well, do you want to make a few more?"
Ning Mingmei said, "No need. Limited edition means limited edition. One more is not allowed. We want them to drive up the price of the peripherals so that they will be so anxious that they won't even blink an eye when they buy them next time."
It's called hunger marketing.
The last one to come in was Jiang Ying. She has purchased a large number of developing stones and has now become Ning Mingmei's VVIP customer. Jiang Ying saw a business opportunity in the developing stone, and now found Ning Mingmei, trying to join Ning Mingmei's evil operation alliance.
Especially when it comes to promotion.
But Ning Mingmei did not give a clear answer this time.
"What do we mean by students of Qingji Sect? The primary task of students is to study. Extracurricular activities and practice are just incidental." Ning Mingmei took a sip of tea and said, "I don't plan to use this competition model for a long time. If it distracts the disciples and makes them not practice well, it will be a bit problematic. Let's wait and see."
Ning Mingmei didn't say anything definite. He agreed to Jiang Ying joining his core business circle, but he felt that the current model was not feasible. Jiang Ying walked away after thinking about it.
If she wants to join Ning Mingmei's business circle, she has to think of a suitable way.
Finally, there is the Houshan Technology Incubation Park, which committed the sin of arrogance. Ning Mingmei called Ren Miao and checked the accounts and urgent matters in the back mountain with her, and then went to see Gui Ruoxue.
After going out, Gui Ruoxue became more depressed than before. He drank Sprite and looked at the icy lake, not knowing what he was thinking. Ning Mingmei walked up to him and looked at him with his hands behind his back.
Gui Ruoxue turned her head and said in a faint voice: "You are here."
Ning Mingmei: "If I had known, I wouldn't have given you a holiday."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
Is this person really a human being when he says such things to the long-haired beauty by the lake?
"I think Xu Changze might have recognized me." Gui Ruoxue said to Ning Mingmei, "When we were leaving Tiantai Peak, he stared at me... Damn it."
He stared at his hands: "I have to find a chance to kill him."
"Are you planning to use my public position to settle personal grudges?" Ning Mingmei exposed him.
After a moment, Gui Ruoxue smiled coldly: "You found out."
A vicious beauty is a vicious beauty after all. Even if Ning Mingmei can defeat others with one thing, when facing outsiders, Gui Ruoxue's nature of revenge, killing with a borrowed knife, and eradicating the roots will come out.
Ning Mingmei commented on this: "Go drink your Sprite."
Gui Ruoxue tilted her head to look at him: "Aren't you afraid that he will take me away?"
"As long as I'm here, he won't dare to start construction at Piaomiao Peak." Ning Mingmei said.
After hearing this, Gui Ruoxue stared at Ning Mingmei for a long time - as if he had never heard such firm and protective words from anyone else.
He is not the type of person who can say things like, "If anything goes wrong, I will never drag you down." In response, Gui Ruoxue only said: "That's not necessarily true. If you can't do it, I will leave Piaomiao Peak first. Anyway, I'm tired of staying in this place."
If Xu Changze finds him and wants to kill him... then he should go outside.
In short, you can't let your blood drip on Piaomiao Peak.
Gui Ruoxue didn't understand why she had such complicated feelings. Perhaps it was because of Gui Taoran’s competition…it reminded him of his past self.
But he is different from Gui Taoran. People like him have never been protected by anyone.
Ning Mingmei only said one sentence: "No hurry, wait until my needs are met, then you can die. Have you made the old platinum with mango sago flavor? I want to drink it."
Gui Ruoxue: ...
...Damn, the sad feeling I had just now is gone.
Gui Ruoxue went to the experimental table with a gloomy face. He seemed to have forgotten his previous worries, but everyone knew that he hadn't.
His heart was always shrouded in a strong sense of insecurity, and a fear of death and a will to die.
But Ning Mingmei seemed to know nothing. He walked out wearing wooden clogs and carrying his sword on his back. He passed the ice prison where He Yin was imprisoned, passed Xue Zhu who was studying mushrooms and chickens, and passed the six-fingered poplar on the production line.
Among all the weirdos who were worthy of being convicted, he was the only one who walked with determination, a streak of black that stood out in the frost and snow, but he never stopped.
Then at the end of the back mountain, he saw Wu Yun.
Wu Yun stood there, thin and with an indifferent expression. The snowy wind blew up the corners of his snow-blue robe, and he was as thin as a piece of paper.
Ning Mingmei asked him: "What's wrong?"
Wu Yun is a very honest child. If he wasn't at the factory, he must have something to say.
"I heard Ren Miao talking about a disease outside." Wu Yun said, "I seem to have heard of this disease."
Ning Mingmei said: "Please tell me in detail."
Before going to Yedi for revenge, Wu Yun traveled around the human world practicing medicine under the identity of Doctor Wu. So he had heard of this disease in a tavern in a small town.
People biting each other and infecting each other - such a thing is simply unheard of. Wu Yun listened carefully to the drunkards' rumors, and one of them said that this must be a special kind of poison.
"Compared to poison, it's more like a curse, or a poisonous insect... or something with a 'spirit' or life," Wu Yun said.
His words caught the attention of a woman. The woman then invited him to drink with her and talked to him about the strange disease. The woman finally smiled and said, "Perhaps the thing causing the chaos is indeed a spiritual being."
Wu Yun asked, "What could that be?"
The woman said, "I don't know... maybe it's anger? People's emotions are very complicated."
"Complex human nature often breeds things that are more terrifying than anything else."
In the following two days, Wu Yun met the woman twice in the tavern. The woman was wearing a bamboo hat and spoke softly and politely to others.
But for some reason, she always gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
Moreover, she seemed to have noticed Wu Yun's identity as a living dead.
When they met for the third time, the woman told him that she was going to the next town.
Wu Yun breathed a sigh of relief at that time, but the woman looked at him and uttered the next sentence.
"…You still have something to do, right? It is of vital importance to you. Without it, you cannot attain enlightenment, nor can you vent your hatred."
This simple sentence made Wu Yun look at her suddenly with a wary look. The woman didn't seem to mind his rudeness at all and handed him something with a smile.
"If you feel you have nowhere to go after that, why not come find me?" She said, "Take the token and go to the Imperial City in the human world, and you will find me. The aura on you makes me feel that you and I are on the same path."
"They don't deserve your despair."
What she handed over was a token.
Wu Yun said: "So I wonder if those people are related to the events happening in Qingji Sect right now."
Wu Yun also showed Ning Mingmei the wooden sign.
The thing painted on the wooden sign looked like a flame or a auspicious cloud.
Fire and Clouds...
Ning Mingmei said: "Thank you. I will keep an eye on it."
Wu Yun shook his head. He didn't say anything more, just turned and walked into the snow.
Ning Mingmei looked at his back and suddenly had a strange guess.
If he had not appeared in Ye Di that day, would Wu Yun have been taken away by the mysterious woman in the bamboo hat?
Who is the woman in the bamboo hat? What does she want to do by taking Wu Yun away? Why did she say that Wu Yun had an aura similar to theirs?
You can’t understand something just by thinking about it; you have to do it first.
Ning Mingmei looked at the snow-covered Piaomiao Peak and felt that the world of immortal cultivation was also like a sea of snow. Under the vast expanse of white, it is unclear whether it is buried with life or withered vines with shapes as terrifying as ghost claws.
Outside, it was cold and quiet because of the crazy disciples, but Ning Mingmei's place was bustling with people coming and going. There was still some time before the afternoon competition. Ning Mingmei finished five meetings and headed out, but he didn't go to any busy place.
But it’s Zhang Zhi’s true nature.
Zhang Zhizhen is the master of Qizhen Peak, which is also the first peak colonized by Ning Mingmei. Zhang Zhizhen is a female cultivator of Dharma, but she is not pretty or slim. She looks like a middle-aged woman and is a little overweight. The reason she was able to achieve this level of cultivation when she was young was because she was extremely hardworking. She has a little bit of luck but not much, and is not good at speaking.
From a modern perspective, Zhang Zhizhen is like this: a professor hired from outside, a rather depressed, resource-poor, and unsocial old-school mentor. My own scientific research ability is not that good. I lead a group of equally frustrated students. Sometimes I cannot answer their questions, and I have to smile and tell them that I will check it out when I go back - and I do check it out, but I still don’t quite understand it. Being a professor means just supporting your family with your monthly salary, which is not much, and you still have to pay for your students all the time.
It was also because of the peak master's behavior that many people forgot what Qizhen Peak was originally for. Just because they were close to the medical hut and most people could help there, these people gradually regarded them as a medical peak. Moreover, there were medical spells in the magic spells of the practitioners - Zhang Zhizhen also gradually accepted this. After all, it was a task assigned by others. So, the entire Qizhen Peak unknowingly became a medical peak under the expectations and pushback of others, and practiced some magic spells.
Any injured people were thrown to them.
Zhang Zhizhen's place doesn't have many resources, and compared to the unattended Qiansheng Peak and the former Piaomiao Peak, there are more trivial matters, so it is also the last place among the Twelve Peaks. But Master Zhang Zhi is still quite good. Disciples often ask her for help when they have problems. Although her ability is limited, she always tries her best to help them, unlike Ning Mingmei who is in seclusion and often acts badly, and Zheng Heguang who goes out to start a company. She herself seemed to have no ambition to make progress, and outside of work, she had been living an ordinary life of knitting sweaters and stewing chicken soup. Later, when Ning Mingmei wanted to recruit her disciples, she smiled and asked them to go to Piaomiao Peak to learn more. The entire peak was taken away by Piaomiao Peak, but she never got angry.
On weekdays, Qi Zhenfeng just lived a lazy life, doing odd jobs. Although he was busy, at least he got through it. But this time, something went wrong.
It was the matter of the disciple going crazy.
When Ning Mingmei entered Qizhen Peak, he heard disciples complaining outside the mountain gate.
"It's all Qizhenfeng's fault for not keeping an eye on those disciples. Now the whole sect is in chaos."
"How do you manage this peak? It's really a disgrace to the sect."
