Daoist Jingyang, "If all the new generation of Daoist temple leaders had the same awareness as Temple Master Yun, how could we worry about Daoism not flourishing? Temple Master Yun, rest assured, as long as it's for the good of Daoism, our True Yang Temple will definitely do its utmost and take the lead."
After listening, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The more she interacted with these senior figures, the more she felt their compassion. Take Daoist Qiuting, for example. Having received kindness from her master, she was willing to selflessly impart her life's knowledge to a group of complete strangers, including orphans like herself. Then there's Daoist Jingyang. Despite having no relation to Yun Zhaozhao, he selflessly helped her Clear Breeze Temple Yun Zhaozhao simply because Yun Zhaozhao was doing things that benefited the entire Daoist community...
Yun Zhaozhao sometimes felt ashamed of her own lack of such magnanimity.
Daoist Jingyang, "When your Daoist temple guesthouse opens, I'll try my best to discuss it with my senior brother and go support you."
Yun Zhaozhao: "Welcome, welcome. But there's something I need to mention beforehand: you might run into Martial Uncle Chuli at the guesthouse."
Daoist Jingyang was initially taken aback, but then expressed his understanding. "It's understandable that Martial Uncle Chuli ceremony. I understand."
Yun Zhaozhao: "That's not entirely because of that. The main reason is that I plan to make Martial Uncle Chuli the flagship of our Daoist temple's guesthouse. After all, whether you're a Daoist or not, everyone pursues health and longevity, and our Qingfeng Daoist Temple's service motto is: Stay in the best guesthouse and enjoy the longest life."
Daoist Jingyang: "..."
Daoist Jingyang really wanted to ask Yun Zhaozhao what she was thinking, putting such a prodigy in the guesthouse. But considering that Yun Zhaozhao had just praised Martial Uncle Chuli for his gentle temperament and smiling like Maitreya Buddha, he ultimately didn't ask the question.
It can only be said that Martial Uncle Chuli is a man with two faces, and it is obvious that what they True Yang Temple is not the same as what Yun Zhaozhao and her Clear Breeze Temple see.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Clear Breeze Temple was constantly bustling with worshippers. It wasn't until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when many workplaces resumed normal operations and students gradually returned to school, that the number of visitors to Clear Breeze Temple slowly returned to normal levels.
With a large flow of people, the income was naturally quite substantial. So, on the Lantern Festival (January 15th of the lunar calendar), in addition to having a reunion dinner with everyone, Yun Zhaozhao also gave out the bonuses that hadn't been paid out on New Year's Eve.
No matter the time, receiving money is the second happiest thing, while the first happiest thing is spending money.
Clear Breeze Temple will be closed for the Lantern Festival as usual, but like on Lunar New Year's Eve, some of the Daoist priests will stay to work.
Many Daoist priests on holiday choose to go to the city to spend money, but Jingting cannot feel the joy of this kind of spending.
Yun Zhaozhao had previously thought that Daoist Chang Kong was a man in Clear Breeze Temple who had no desires, but she now realized that Jingting was actually the one who truly had no desires. Because at least Daoist Chang Kong loved to eat, but Jingting was different; Jingting had almost nothing he particularly loved.
He didn't even need a salary. Every time Yun Zhaozhao gave him money, he would keep it for a few days and then return it to Yun Zhaozhao Yun Zhaozhao that she could save it for him. Sometimes, he would return the money to Yun Zhaozhao Yun Zhaozhao soon as she gave it to him.
That day, Yun Zhaozhao calculated for Jingting and discovered that she had gradually saved tens of thousands of yuan for Jingting.
She couldn't help but ask Jingting, "Isn't there anything you want to buy?"
Jingting intently for a long time, she finally shook her head. "No."
Yun Zhaozhao: "..." For a moment, she didn't know whether to envy or pity her.
However, it's good for children, especially boys, to be frugal. After all, they might want to get married and have children someday, and they'll definitely need money then. And even if they don't get married and have children, they might want to buy a house or a car in the future. In any case, there will always be places where they need to spend money.
Saving up now will give you more confidence in the future.
In addition to giving bonuses to the Daoist priests at Clear Breeze Temple, Yun Zhaozhao also gave bonuses to the college student interns who were interning at Clear Breeze Temple. Although it wasn't as much as the bonuses given to the temple's regular employees, it was still a pleasant surprise for these interns.
The students were very excited to receive the bonuses. And it must be said that these interns are of very high quality, because after receiving the bonuses, their first thought was how to send some return gifts to Clear Breeze Temple.
The reason they considered giving a return gift was that their internship was almost over, and they would soon have to go back to school.
Furthermore, those who came to intern at the same time, such as Zhao An, have already sent half a pig to Clear Breeze Temple, so they definitely have to do something in return! Otherwise, they would feel embarrassed.
A group of students gathered privately to discuss the matter and finally decided to create a mascot for Clear Breeze Temple as a token of their goodwill.
There was no other way; this was the cheapest and most prestigious method. Of course, some classmates suggested sending two banners to Clear Breeze Temple, but they ultimately refused. After all, sending banners costs money, and it's much more economical to make mascots. Besides, hanging banners in a Daoist temple just felt a bit strange.
Yun Zhaozhao had no idea that the students were going to prepare a "surprise" for her. Because she didn't know, she couldn't refuse. In addition, the students' designs were all done secretly in private, so Yun Zhaozhao was really kept in the dark.
Things are progressing quite smoothly.
At the end of the month, the day before the students returned to school, the students, in front of Yun Zhaozhao and the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple, brought out the mascot they had designed for Clear Breeze Temple.
It was a kitten wearing a Daoist hat. The kitten was designed very cutely, with two big and round eyes, and fluffy fur all over its body, but its expression was very cold. It raised its little face and held up two round fleshy paws. The left paw was engraved with "Lucky", and the right paw was engraved with "Enter Treasure". It looked like a veritable lucky cat.
Yun Zhaozhao liked it at first sight and immediately decided to have a larger one ordered, which would then be placed at the entrance of the Daoist temple guesthouse.
The students were overjoyed to see how much Yun Zhaozhao liked their mascot design, as it meant their hard work hadn't been in vain. Moreover, upon hearing that Yun Zhaozhao planned to place their mascot at the entrance of the guesthouse, they offered Yun Zhaozhao a suggestion. "You could also make a costume for the cat with the words 'Clear Breeze Temple' written on it. That way, when people take photos and check in at the guesthouse entrance, it will subtly promote Clear Breeze Temple."
Making clothes for cats, right?
Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but say, "You've reminded me. There are so many stray cats in Clear Breeze Temple. If you're going to do it, you could make more clothes and dress them all up. That way, when people take pictures of the cats, it's like you're giving Clear Breeze Temple free advertising."
The students nodded with smiles. "That makes sense!"
Yun Zhaozhao glanced at the cat, then at the students in front of her, and slowly said, "Since the cat is wearing this for advertising, wouldn't it also be considered advertising if you wore it back to school?"
The students stopped laughing, "..."
Chapter 105
Regardless, the lucky cat design created by the students is quite adorable.
Not only Yun Zhaozhao liked it, but the Daoist priests who were in charge of designing Clear Breeze Temple souvenirs also liked it very much.
They later turned this image into 12 zodiac lucky cats, and then engraved it on seals and keychains. In the end, these items became the best-selling souvenir products of Clear Breeze Temple that year, without exception.
It can only be said that many things in life are like this: you may try to plant flowers, but they may not bloom; or you may plant willows without intending to, and they may thrive.
The Clear Breeze Temple Guesthouse B will not open until the middle of this year at the earliest, which is around the summer vacation. After all, the B&B needs to air out after the renovation. Before that, Wen Xu came to City A.
This time, he didn't come for Daoist Chang Kong; he came to manage their branch factory.
Because they were taking over the branch factory, Manager Huang Xi came along with Wen Xu.
As the host and Wen Xu Xu's partner, Yun Zhaozhao, as usual, gave them face by taking Tang Li to pick them up and then taking them to their new factory.
Although President Wen had previously stated that the new factory would not suddenly add several production lines, but rather start trial operation gradually with a single new production line, it must be said that the new factory is still very large, with operating areas, warehouse areas, freezing areas, employee canteens, and employee accommodation areas, etc.
While Wen Xu and Huang Xi were upstairs tidying up their rooms, Yun Zhaozhao and Tang Li strolled around the factory area, and then both of them expressed their envy towards the rich second-generation representative:
"I wish I could own such a big factory right after graduation! Today is another day I wish I could be a rich kid."
"You could say that being born into the right family is a skill. Back when I first took over Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, it wasn't even as big as the warehouse in their factory area!"
As the two were talking, Tang Li suddenly stopped and gave Yun Zhaozhao a deep look.
Yun Zhaozhao was taken aback by the stare. "... What's wrong?"
Tang Li: "I currently have no chance to make my child a rich second-generation heir, but you, Abbot, still have a chance, as long as you take care of winning over Wen Xu, hehehehehehehe..."
Yun Zhaozhao didn't shy away from the topic either. "If you had given me this suggestion two years ago, I probably would have acted on it without hesitation, but I'm sorry, you're bringing it up a little too late now."
Tang Li asked, puzzled, "... Why?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Because even if I don't win over Wen Xu, my future children will already be true second-generation rich kids."
Tang Li: "..." I'm so annoyed, but I have to admit it seems to be true.
So now it's two rich people sandwiching a penniless guy, right?
