Yun Zhaozhao actually felt a little guilty, but Wen Xu was quite open-minded and even advised Yun Zhaozhao not to go out and make any fuss, "What do I, an ignorant rich second-generation, need a good reputation for! But you, you are the abbot of Clear Breeze Temple. The greater your reputation, the more popular Clear Breeze Temple will be."

Yun Zhaozhao: "But wouldn't that be too unfair to you?"

Wen Xu: "What do I have to feel wronged about? I'm happy to be the little man behind you."

Tang Li, who had come over to find Yun Zhaozhao and was accidentally fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), thought, "..." Did he accidentally stumble upon the office romance from last time?

-

With his father's help, Wen Xu introduced a group of new clients to Yun Zhaozhao, and these clients are now gradually reaching cooperation agreements with Yun Zhaozhao in various aspects.

The more collaborative projects Yun Zhaozhao undertakes, the greater her staffing needs will naturally become.

Previously, only the Agricultural College had reached an internship agreement with Yun Zhaozhao privately. Gradually, many colleges and universities in City A also began to notice the huge job market of Clear Breeze Temple.

For example, some hotel management students contacted Yun Zhaozhao and said they could intern at Yun Zhaozhao's Daoist temple guesthouse.

Some other graduates majoring in horticulture and planting, unable to find their ideal jobs, wanted to follow Yun Zhaozhao's initial decision and temporarily come to Yun Zhaozhao's agricultural planting base as a temporary solution.

Yun Zhaozhao had originally planned to recruit a batch of new employees at the agricultural base, and this wave of job seekers was exactly what she wanted.

So during this period, whenever there was nothing to do at Clear Breeze Temple, she would go to the agricultural base and the guesthouse to help recruit people.

Sometimes, when she encounters exceptionally talented applicants but can't immediately secure positions at the agricultural base or guesthouse, she'll even recruit these graduates to Clear Breeze Temple.

Through this back and forth, Yun Zhaozhao not only recruited a lot of people at the agricultural base and the Daoist temple guesthouse, but also recruited a small team of highly educated college students at Clear Breeze Temple.

This small team of college students covers a variety of majors, including computer science, art, and even foreign languages.

Looking at these messy resumes, Tang Li himself became bewildered. "... Temple Master Yun really is unconventional in recruiting talent!"

Yun Zhaozhao: "Don't worry, we'll need it sooner or later. Have you forgotten how popular our Daoist temple's intelligent voice guide is?"

If Yun Zhaozhao hadn't mentioned the smart tour guide at the Daoist temple, Tang Li wouldn't have remembered it. But now that it was brought up, Tang Li recalled something, "It's said that after Daoist Jingyang of True Yang Temple visited our Clear Breeze Temple last time, he mentioned it to his senior brother, saying he wanted to install a smart voice tour guide at True Yang Temple. However, the old Daoist priests at True Yang Temple sternly refused. Not only that, those old Daoist priests also said that Daoist Jingyang should have less contact with you in the future, lest you corrupt him..."

Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but laugh, " Daoist Jingyang is quite avant-garde."

She smiled, and Tang Li laughed along, "That's not the funniest part. The funniest part is that when Martial Uncle Chuli heard about this, he said very seriously, 'I originally thought Jingyang was the most stubborn one in True Yang Temple, but it turns out that Jingyang is actually the most open to new things and the most fashionable person in True Yang Temple...'"

Yun Zhaozhao: "..." Martial Uncle Chuli is indeed a master of sarcasm; when he insults someone, his little mouth is like it's been dipped in poison.

Although Yun Zhaozhao hadn't decided what kind of work to assign to these people when she recruited them, it proved that Clear Breeze Temple's golden rule of not supporting idlers was always applicable.

The people Yun Zhaozhao recruited were quickly put to good use.

Putting everything else aside, the college student who is good at foreign languages is quite useful in translating medical books and scriptures.

The art student was even more impressive. Seeing that the space above the new viewing corridor of Clear Breeze Temple was empty, he started creating murals right there in the Clear Breeze Temple.

Clear Breeze Temple already has no shortage of online traffic, and many self-media bloggers will come to Clear Breeze Temple to do live broadcasts from time to time in order to attract attention.

Nowadays, people are painting Daoist murals in Clear Breeze Temple, which is also a good opportunity for many online bloggers to attract traffic. So art students paint here, and live streamers broadcast it from the side.

Of course, since live streaming is not allowed inside Clear Breeze Temple, this corridor of Clear Breeze Temple suddenly became like a grand live streaming studio.

Sometimes when Yun Zhaozhao passed by and saw the live streaming equipment set up here, she couldn't help but sigh: With this setup, not only would Daoist Jingyang need to learn for a while, but even veteran live streamers like Wen Xu and Jingting would probably have to learn for a long time.

Chapter 136

Clear Breeze Temple has made a significant contribution to the employment rate of City A in the past two years. Therefore, in addition to being selected as one of the "Five-Good Daoist Temples" in the previous selection, the old Clear Breeze Temple was also fortunate to be selected as a harmonious Daoist temple and an advanced collective in City A.

Before this, Clear Breeze Temple had never received any real honors other than the "Five-Good Daoist Temple" rotating red flag.

So in a sense, Yun Zhaozhao really did fulfill the old woman's wish to make Clear Breeze Temple bigger and stronger and to make Clear Breeze Temple create new glories.

As Clear Breeze Temple received more and more positive reviews, everyone in the Clear Breeze Temple felt very proud.

In the beginning, people were always embarrassed to say they were disciples of Clear Breeze Temple when they went out. It wasn't for any other reason than that most people had never heard of Clear Breeze Temple. Later, although Clear Breeze Temple became more famous, there were far more negative reviews than positive ones, so people were still too embarrassed to go around bragging about it.

But things are different now. Clear Breeze Temple's positive reputation is growing, and various official honors are pouring in. Today's Clear Breeze Temple has transformed from what it once was...

They are considered to have impeccable lineage, so when the disciples of Clear Breeze Temple go out on business now, even if no one asks, they are eager to introduce themselves.

However, more than these honors, Yun Zhaozhao's greatest wish is to have the old Clear Breeze Temple designated as a cultural relic protection unit.

Unfortunately, the old temple's history wasn't long enough, and as for the new temple, it was even newer than the youngest generation of Daoist priests in the Clear Breeze Temple. So after making some inquiries, Yun Zhaozhao had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea.

Tang Li comforted her, "It's alright. As long as we manage Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple and Inheritance down from generation to generation, we'll eventually make it a key cultural relic protection unit. Not to mention Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple, maybe even our old Daoist priest will become a cultural relic by then!"

Yun Zhaozhao: "..."So these days, whether it's a person or a Daoist temple, the bottom line is to live a long life!

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Clear Breeze Temple is now thriving, and naturally has more energy to help the vulnerable groups in need and do some charitable work. So in the winter of that year, Yun Zhaozhao, together with True Yang Temple, sponsored several welfare homes and impoverished primary and secondary schools in City A and the surrounding area.

Also in the winter of that year, Yun Zhaozhao, along with Jingting, Daoist Chang Kong, and others, went to Wen Xu's new home once again.

This time, it wasn't to deliver furniture; it was to celebrate Wen Xu moving into his new home.

Yun Zhaozhao's own house is almost finished with renovations, and she plans to move in next summer.

Before that, she even used the money Jingting had previously deposited with her to help Jingting order a small apartment in a nearby neighborhood.

Although Jingting indicated that he was unlikely to live here because he had been used to being alone since childhood and only liked the lively atmosphere of living with a group of people in Clear Breeze Temple, Yun Zhaozhao still made the decision for him and bought the house.

After all, the child is still young, and no one can predict what the future holds. Having a small house means that if we don't want to live there in the future, we can sell it to raise funds, and if we want to live there again, we can move in anytime.

It's like leaving yourself a way out.

-

For Yun Zhaozhao, moving to a new home was a major happy event in her life, so before she came, she thought there would be many relatives and friends at Wen Xu's house.

When they arrived, they discovered that Wen Xu had only invited a few friends from Clear Breeze Temple who were relatively familiar with him, and surprisingly, he had only invited Huang Xi.

He didn't even call his biological father and mother.

Yun Zhaozhao: "... You moved house, such a big thing, and you didn't even tell your parents?"

Wen Xu: "We notified them, but they're not coming. Because our family owns houses all over the country and abroad, for them it's just a change of residence, a minor matter."

Yun Zhaozhao: "..."

Yun Zhaozhao brought Jingting with her today, and also brought Daoist Chang Kong to cook.

Daoist Chang Kong had felt somewhat guilty about the old incident of " Wen Xu " Wen Xu out of money with mahogany furniture, so much so that he would run away whenever he saw Wen Xu. However, after hearing Wen Xu's explosive statement that "I have houses all over the place, moving is just a small matter," that lingering guilt finally disappeared completely after several months.

Even before entering the kitchen to cook, Daoist Chang Kong couldn't help but whisper to Yun Zhaozhao, "Are we charging for this meal today?"

Yun Zhaozhao: "... How about we not accept money today? We came to the housewarming party empty-handed, without bringing any gifts or giving any red envelopes. It seems a bit unreasonable to accept money now."

Daoist Chang Kong said with regret, "That's truly a pity."

Yun Zhaozhao: "..." As expected, everyone learns how to Wen Xu very quickly!

While Daoist Chang Kong was cooking in the kitchen, Yun Zhaozhao chatted with Huang Xi in the living room.

She rarely saw Huang Xi in private, so she thought they wouldn't have much to talk about, but it turned out they had so much to discuss.
