Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

Chapter 208 A Resort Management Story Under the Revival of Spiritual Energy

The curtain was lifted, and Feng Changyuan and Feng Lie entered the main hall one after the other. The scent of medicine remained, but the faint voices and presence from before had dissipated. Inside, only Feng Lu was carefully placing a celadon medicine bottle back in its place; upon hearing the sound, he immediately turned around.

"Young Master Changyuan, Young Master Lie," Feng Lu bowed and said.

Feng Changyuan's gaze swept over the empty shop entrance before settling back on Feng Lu. He asked gently, "Where are Sect Leader Su and Fellow Daoist Chen?"

"Reporting to Young Master," Feng Lu hurriedly replied, "Sect Leader Su and Fellow Daoist Chen just took a brief look around here. They said you two were resting and it wouldn't be convenient to disturb you, so they left first. Fellow Daoist Chen also said that our Hundred Herbs Pavilion is quite impressive, and the medicinal herbs are of pure quality."

"Gone?" Feng Lie stepped forward, raising his eyebrows, a hint of annoyance flashing across his face. "Why couldn't you have waited a little longer? We'd only exchanged a few words..."

Feng Changyuan raised his hand, stopping his younger brother from finishing his sentence.

"Understood. Sect Leader Su and Fellow Daoist Chen are considerate and do not wish to disturb anyone's peace." He paced to the long table, his fingertips brushing against the cool porcelain vase. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Did they mention where they were going? Or what their plans are?"

Feng Lu shook his head: "He didn't go into details. He only said he was just going down the mountain for a casual stroll to check out the resort. Judging from the direction, he should be heading towards the main street."

"Main street..." Feng Changyuan repeated softly, his gaze fixed on the shop entrance. "The customer flow is sparse today; they must be pondering their next move."

Feng Lie walked to his brother's side, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of anxiety, "Brother, look, isn't this an opportunity? Let's go over there, 'accidentally' bump into her, sound her out, or... create an opportunity for that girl Xiao Lu to 'coincidentally' come down the mountain too?"

Feng Changyuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at his younger brother, and said, "This was done deliberately; the traces are too obvious. Chen Anran is an extremely perceptive person, and Sect Leader Su is even more insightful. Going in now would only make things worse."

He paused, turned and walked towards the door of the inner room, lifted the curtain but did not go in. He just looked at the quiet inner room and said slowly, "The resort has just opened and everything is waiting to be done. The Yunyin Sect is mostly focused on its operations down the mountain and on the sect itself. If we are too eager to achieve results now, it will only make people wary."

"So we're just going to wait here like this?" Feng Lie said dejectedly, plopping down on a nearby wooden stool. "Back home..."

"I'll handle things at home," Feng Changyuan said calmly. "Marriage is a long-term plan, not something that can be accomplished overnight. Right now, our duty is to be good managers of the 'Feng Family Herbs Pavilion.' We can use this to establish a firm foothold, naturally build relationships with the Yunyin Sect, and gradually make our plans."

Feng Lu stood to the side with his hands at his sides, looking down at his nose and pretending not to hear anything.

Feng Lie sighed, knowing his brother was right, but the urgency in his heart was hard to suppress. He looked at the deserted street outside and muttered, "When will this resort really become lively? More people mean more opportunities."

"Whether it's lively or not, it will happen in its time." Feng Changyuan also looked out the door with a distant gaze. "The spiritual energy is recovering, and the world is gradually changing. With the Yunyin Sect in charge and the Zhao family doing a great job, this place is far from an ordinary vacation spot. Let's be patient."

He said no more, turned and went back to the inner room, sat down again on the rattan chair, and opened the old pharmacopoeia. Feng Lie sat on the stool for a while, but finally found it boring, so he got up and followed him in. However, he did not lie back on the bamboo couch, but instead leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed, staring blankly at the one or two sparse figures that occasionally passed by in the outer hall.

The sunlight outside had dispelled the last trace of morning mist, and the main street remained deserted, with only a few early-rising guests strolling slowly along the stone path.

"The Feng brothers are certainly dedicated," Su Wan said softly. "Although this Hundred Herbs Pavilion is newly opened, the quality of its medicinal herbs and pills is indeed top-notch."

Chen Anran nodded in agreement: "The Feng family is, after all, a thousand-year-old family with a solid foundation. Brother Changyuan is also reliable in his work. Placing Baicao Pavilion here, even if it's not for profit, is still a good name and will add a lot of prestige."

Su Wan's gaze softened as she looked towards the distant children's play area, where laughter could be faintly heard: "I only hope that one day all the shops on this street will truly make customers feel at home, and that everyone's hard work will not be in vain."

The two strolled along and soon arrived at the resort management office, where Zhao Mengmeng was in charge of overall coordination.

This is a two-story building located in the middle of the main street, with a bronze plaque hanging in front that reads "Cloud Hidden Immortal Traces Operation Center". Through the glass window, you can see Zhao Mengmeng sitting in front of a computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard, while two staff members stand next to her, seemingly checking some data.

Chen Anran raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Zhao Mengmeng didn't even look up. As soon as she saw who it was, she immediately stood up, a smile appearing on her face. "Master, Senior Uncle! What brings you here? Please have a seat."

The office was simple and bright, with a master plan of the resort hanging on the wall and a few potted plants decorating the corners. Two staff members nodded politely and quietly left, closing the door behind them.

Chen Anran took the water glass: "Less customer traffic than expected on the first day of opening?"

Zhao Mengmeng nodded, "Indeed. Yesterday's ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by many media and guests, and it was quite lively, but only a handful of individual tourists actually booked a trial experience. I analyzed the data, and the main issues are still the location and the acceptance of the concept. So, to increase publicity, I will restart the live broadcast every day and showcase it throughout the resort."

Chen Anran asked, "Isn't your father in charge of publicity and operations?"

"My father and the others are indeed in charge of the overall business operations and external cooperation," Zhao Mengmeng suddenly chuckled and said, "but I also want to do my part to increase the number of tourists coming to our area."

Chen Anran and Su Wan nodded in agreement. After all, the family had invested a lot of money, so it was normal for them to want to make a profit as soon as possible.

What Zhao Mengmeng was thinking was that once more people witnessed the extraordinary nature of the immortal land, many would naturally want to go up the mountain to seek immortality and enlightenment. In this way, the number of disciples in the Yunyin Sect would increase, and at that time, apart from Senior Sister Xiaoling'er, she would be the oldest among the disciples of her generation.

Zhao Mengmeng had already begun to imagine the wonderful scene of many junior brothers and sisters calling her "senior sister" in the future.

Chen Anran, unaware of Zhao Mengmeng's thoughts, simply said, "Whatever you want, but you can't let your cultivation slacken because of this."

"Yes, Master, I will balance it." Zhao Mengmeng nodded seriously, her eyes sparkling from her recent fantasy.

Chen Anran then said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Master, please speak."

"I have two friends in the spiritual community who want to open a shop in the resort. Could you take them to check it out in a bit?"
