A Beta boy working part-time in another world

The white light was so dazzling that Ye Sui couldn't look directly at it.

When the light faded a little, Qian Manjin couldn't help showing surprise and exclaimed: "Little Leaf, I didn't expect you to be such a rare good seedling."

However, he changed the subject and said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that you are a little old. Time cannot be reversed. If you had entered the sect at the age of eight and practiced hard, you would have become an outstanding leader in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sui responded calmly, "Boss, you are too kind."

When it comes to something as mysterious as talent, he always remains rational and sober.

Qian Manjin shook his head slightly, feeling sorry for Ye Sui.

"It's getting late, go and have some rest." Qian Manjin reminded with concern.

"Well, boss, you should also go to bed early."

Ye Sui also echoed and told him to take care of his health. Then he tidied up the clutter on the desk and left the office.

Qian Manjin took a sip of the tea in the cup and was intoxicated by the fragrance of the tea.

He leisurely added hot water and continued to savor this fine tea.

Wen Jieran, who was standing at the counter counting money, caught a glimpse of this scene, closed the account book, walked over and sat on the chair opposite him.

He teased Qian Manjin: "When did you become so generous?"

As he spoke, he picked up the cup and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and it was surprisingly delicious.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?"

Qian Manjin did not answer his question directly, but enjoyed the taste of the little remaining tea.

Wen Jieran knew very well that Qian Manjin was a stingy person by nature and was very careful with his calculations. He would not do anything without any reward.

So he took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "That young man has great talent. How do you plan to cultivate him?"

After these words were spoken, Qian Manjin showed some dissatisfaction on his face and blamed Wen Jieran for talking too much.

But then, his expression revealed his true thoughts.

In fact, his care for Ye Sui was not without ulterior motives, but that "ultimate motive" was not greed for money or possession of her, but had another deeper meaning.

He explained: "I plan to go to Huangzhou. Someone has to look after the store. That kid has a pure mind and is someone I can entrust with important tasks."

Wen Jieran, however, was reserved about this: "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. How do you know that he is not pretending?"

Qian Manjin responded confidently: "I have been observing him for more than three months, and I will never be wrong."

Wen Jieran said no more, but just asked him when he would leave.

Qian Manjin thought for a moment and felt that it was the height of summer and it was a good time to go to Huangzhou.

"Then let's do it in three days. But before that, I have to talk to Ye Sui."

Wen Jieran nodded, his tone calm, "It's up to you to decide."

The next morning, the sun in Muyun City was extremely hot. Pedestrians hurried past, and few people came into the restaurant to eat. Business seemed extremely quiet.

Ye Sui walked out with a bowl of chilled fruit that had just been taken from the kitchen. When he was about to go upstairs, he happened to see that the door of the office at the end of the second floor was open.

"Xiao Ye, are you busy?" Qian Manjin poked his head out from the door and asked.

Ye Sui replied respectfully: "Send a plate of fruit to the guests upstairs."

"Now that you're done with your work, come to the office." After saying that, Qian Manjin turned and walked into the office.

Ye Sui nodded, delivered the fruit to the guest room upstairs, then went downstairs to the boss's office.

There were two basins of ice in the office, and a cool air filled the air. The temperature was obviously much lower than outside.

When Qian Manjin saw Ye Sui coming, he smiled and waved to him to go to the computer.

"Come, sit down."

Ye Sui was somewhat stunned, "This is not good, Boss..."

Qian Manjin, however, acted nonchalant and said, "It's okay. Just sit down when I tell you to."

Having said that, he pushed Ye Sui onto the chair.

Ye Sui sat down nervously, his heart full of confusion, not knowing what his boss meant by this.

Qian Manjin did not delay and sat at the computer desk. His leisurely and contented attitude made him look more like a street thug than a boss.

He turned his gaze to Ye Sui and said bluntly: "Little Ye, I have to go to Huangzhou in two days. I am afraid I will not be able to return in a short time, so I would like to ask you to take over the affairs of the store temporarily."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sui frowned slightly and felt a little uneasy.

He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is Huangzhou a very dangerous place?"

There was a hint of worry in his voice. After all, he remembered the danger he experienced last time, which made him full of caution and awe of the unknown world.

Qian Manjin seemed to see Ye Sui's concerns, so he explained in detail: "Huangzhou is a little-known place. It is said that a celestial being in the Spiritualization Stage died there, and no one has been able to find out its exact location. Wen Jieran and I accidentally got a treasure map, and we decided to try our luck."

After hearing this, Ye Sui felt even more uneasy.

In this world, the gap between cultivators and non-cultivators is like a chasm. A cultivator in the Qi Refining stage is enough to crush ordinary people.

Qian Manjin is not a cultivator, but he has to go to a place full of unknowns and dangers. If he encounters an accident, the consequences will be disastrous.

He couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take this time?"

Qian Manjin pondered for a moment, then answered carefully: "At least one year, at most three years."

After hearing this, Ye Sui was very surprised.

He said worriedly: "It's been such a long time. If something happens, we won't be able to call for help."

Qian Manjin understood Ye Sui's worries. He smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about me. My good friend Wen Jieran is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. With him around, there shouldn't be much danger."

Despite this, Ye Sui still felt uneasy.

He had experienced this inexplicable feeling of panic before. Whenever Qin Xiang had a close relationship with the indigenous people, this feeling of uneasiness would surge into his heart.

He was restless and finally couldn't help asking, "Boss, is your friend really reliable?"

"It's ok."

He once saved Wen Jieran, causing the other party to owe him a favor that was difficult to repay.

However, Qian Manjin was not in a hurry to ask for a reward from Wen Jieran. Instead, two years later, he made a special request to him - to protect him on a trip to Huangzhou.

That place is where immortal cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage fell. There are countless treasures there. As long as you can collect those scattered treasures, the points in the store can be accumulated quickly, which is enough to start the crucial second time and space jump.

Being outside the world of immortal cultivation, Qian Manjin is well aware that threats are everywhere. If he is not careful, he may be imprisoned and turned into ashes.

Seeing that Qian Manjin had made up his mind, Ye Sui knew that it was useless to say more and could only nod silently.

"Then what should I do?" Ye Sui asked.

"You just need to stay in the store and be responsible for the store's incoming and outgoing goods while I'm away. You also have a system in your hands. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask your guidance system for help."

Ye Sui nodded and responded, "I will do my best."

Qian Manjin smiled slightly, "You don't have to be too nervous. Managing a store is not difficult. Besides, my store is protected by a barrier. As long as you stay in the store, even if a true immortal descends, he will not be able to reach this place."

The power of the system is extraordinary, and this is no exaggeration.

About a year ago, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage provoked Qian Manjin. Seeing that he could not hurt Qian Manjin, he threw out a bunch of magic weapons, but they were rebounded by the barrier and he was eventually killed by his own magic weapons.

Since then, the store has become famous, and many cultivators choose to stay here because of its high safety factor and no need to worry about assassinations.

However, there is one situation that cannot be avoided - the killer sneaks into the store disguised as a customer.

In such a situation, the system cannot protect the customers in the store, but is limited to the store staff with contractual benefits.

Qian Manjin has never disclosed this to anyone, and currently he is the only one who knows about it.

Therefore, he dared to assure Ye Sui that staying in the store was the safest option.

After explaining the management of the store to Ye Sui, Qian Manjin began to pack his luggage after he left, putting everything he needed into the storage bag.

However, just as he finished tidying up, the door was gently pushed open.

Qian Manjin glanced and saw that it was Wen Jieran who walked in. He didn't say much, but continued to rummage through the closet.

Wen Jieran walked in leisurely, sat at the table, and remained silent.

Qian Manjin knew Wen Jieran's purpose and did not explain much.

The two of them knew tacitly that the journey was long and it would probably be the next year by the time they returned.
