Despite Wen Xu Xu's father's constant mockery of his own son, when Wen Xu mentioned that the video he sent was filmed at Clear Breeze Temple and featured Yun Zhaozhao herself, Old President Wen immediately had all accounts under his company repost it across all platforms without his son needing to say anything more.

Clear Breeze Temple already had its own online following, and with Wen Xu and Old President Wen's tireless promotion and reposting, Officer Xiao Deng watched helplessly as this ordinary anti-fraud propaganda video saw its clicks and views double, and even the comments were much more lively than his previous propaganda videos.

Many people even commented on the official account run by Officer Xiao Deng:

[Who came up with this idea? Partnering with Clear Breeze Temple for anti-fraud propaganda! What an unremarkable publicity genius!]

Although no one specifically praised Officer Xiao Deng by name, Officer Xiao Deng felt that everyone was already praising him.

Moreover, when he took these promotional videos to the countryside to show the villagers before, many villagers were not very interested. But this video is different. This time, when Officer Xiao Deng took out his phone again, he only needed to mention to the villagers that "this video was filmed by the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple," and even if the villagers were busy, they would put down what they were doing and watch the whole video attentively and devoutly.

Some viewers, after watching, even commented on the location of Clear Breeze Temple, saying, "The Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple are indeed kind-hearted."

Officer Xiao Deng watched with great envy, and could only console himself that this was the power of faith!

Following the successful publicity case with the Ministry of Public Security, various functional departments such as fire protection and transportation contacted Yun Zhaozhao one after another to film promotional videos together. Yun Zhaozhao basically accepted all requests. After all, she didn't know the previous missionary principles of Clear Breeze Temple, but now her missionary principle is -- to bless the world with a gentle breeze.

It has been proven that collaborating with these official platforms has been very beneficial for Clear Breeze Temple.

Previously, Clear Breeze Temple was developing rapidly, and some Daoist temples, envious and eager, inevitably speculated that Clear Breeze Temple had someone backing it. Now, the video is clearly here, as if declaring to the world— Clear Breeze Temple doesn't just have someone backing it, it has someone above it.

Regardless of whether these connections are genuine or not, any one of them individually is someone that other Daoist temples wouldn't dare to mess with.

So now when Yun Zhaozhao goes out to meetings or participates in internal Daoist temple activities, she notices that those Daoist temples that weren't particularly polite to her before are now keeping their distance from her. On several occasions, they even arranged for her to sit next to the abbot of True Yang Temple.

Yun Zhaozhao asked the abbot of True Yang Temple beside her in a low voice, "I am still relatively inexperienced, is it a little inappropriate for me to sit in this position?"

The abbot of True Yang Temple smiled and offered her a suggestion, "Then next time, have Daoist Chuli represent your Clear Breeze Temple at the meeting. Daoist Chuli has the most seniority; he can sit wherever he wants. He can even sit above them, and they won't dare to object."

Yun Zhaozhao: Don't say it... you really shouldn't say it.

While leading the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple and nearby villagers in planting trees for free, Yun Zhaozhao also filmed public service announcement videos for various government departments for free. Although she didn't earn much money, she certainly built up a good reputation.

Previously, when Clear Breeze Temple received the "Five-Good Daoist Temple" award, they would have wanted to frame it with gold and hang it in the most conspicuous place in the temple. But recently, Clear Breeze Temple has been receiving honors such as "Caring Daoist Temple" and "Excellent Daoist Temple" from time to time.

He was truly surrounded by honors.

As the professional manager of Clear Breeze Temple, Tang Li was very satisfied with this. Firstly, he had promotional materials to write; secondly, the honor of the temple was equivalent to the honor of his management, and he felt honored to share in it.

He even encouraged Yun Zhaozhao to participate in the competition for Outstanding Young Talent in City A.

Yun Zhaozhao: "Me? An outstanding youth?"

Tang Li: "Yes, I think you fit the criteria perfectly."

Yun Zhaozhao: "What do you mean?"

Tang Li held up two fingers. "First, you are outstanding. Second, you are a young person. Therefore, you are an outstanding young person."

Yun Zhaozhao: "..." I really wish everyone in the world were as simple and straightforward as Tang Li, and loved me.

Yun Zhaozhao had no interest in participating in any outstanding youth competition. Now that she had money, all she wanted to do every day was lie around doing nothing. If she could do some small acts of charity that benefited others while doing nothing, that would be her contribution to society. As for anything else, she didn't want to think about it.

As for Yun Zhaozhao's daily life, she sleeps until she naturally wakes up, then leisurely goes to eat a brunch that Daoist Chang Kong specially prepared for her, and then goes to the yard to pet the cat.

She often petted the cat until it fell asleep, and then she fell asleep too.

I woke up hungry, so I decided to go have an afternoon tea carefully prepared by Daoist Chang Kong.

After eating and drinking her fill, she would stroll leisurely to the backyard to admire the flowers. When the sun set and the stars went home, she would follow them home.

In Yun Zhaozhao's view, this life was as carefree and happy as that of an immortal.

Yun Zhaozhao didn't have any grand dreams. Her biggest dream used to be to establish herself in City A as soon as possible, own a small house, and live a peaceful life. Now that dream has long been realized, so if she had to say what dream she still had, it would be to hand over Clear Breeze Temple to a trustworthy person as soon as possible, and then retire early to enjoy her retirement life without any worries.

It's impossible to know what others think of Yun Zhaozhao's idle state, but Wen Xu is very pleased.

Even if Yun Zhaozhao were to retire, the returns from her previous investments would still be far beyond his reach. If he were to work even harder, he would have no chance of catching up with Yun Zhaozhao.

So even for his own sake, he really hoped that Yun Zhaozhao could slow down.

Besides, Yun Zhaozhao herself enjoys this kind of life and state. Isn't liking someone about wanting her to be happy and cheerful all the time?

So while Yun Zhaozhao lazed around doing nothing, Wen Xu Yun Zhaozhao.

In the past, when Old President Wen called Wen Xu, Wen Xu was either out having fun with friends or sleeping at home. Now, nine out of ten times when General Manager Wen calls Wen Xu, Wen Xu is working overtime at the factory.

Old President Wen himself is a workaholic, so he's quite happy to raise a workaholic son as well. His only complaint is. "I used to tell you to study hard and come back to inherit the family business, but you always ignored me. If you had listened to me earlier, maybe our company would already be an international company by now."

Wen Xu smiled and said, "It's not too late for me to start working hard now! Besides, if you want to go international, it's best to rely on your own efforts and not always think about depending on your son. After all, I have my own things to take care of."

Old President Wen bother to ask him what he was so busy with, because the answer was obvious. Come to think of it, he only knew that intelligence and personality were hereditary, but he never imagined that being a "love-struck" person could be inherited too.

Even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw!

Although the afforestation activities at Clear Breeze Temple are progressing smoothly, they still need time. On the other hand, some of the Daoist priests who came to Clear Breeze Temple for live-streaming training have already started packing up to return to their own temples to develop their live-streaming side businesses after a month or two of short-term training.

This training session for the Daoist priests was a benefit that Clear Breeze Temple provided to other Daoist temples. Not only were their food, clothing, lodging, and transportation all provided free of charge, but Yun Zhaozhao also specially prepared a gift for each of them before they went home.

Inside are mosquito-repellent sachets made by Clear Breeze Temple itself, as well as vegetables, fruits, and herbs grown by Clear Breeze Temple itself.

In addition to these small gifts, Yun Zhaozhao also kept his promise and prepared corresponding cash rewards for each Daoist priest based on their contribution to afforestation.

The Daoist priests were quite moved to receive the gifts, and upon returning home, they began to compliment their own temples.

This person said, "Look at Clear Breeze Temple. They have both main and side businesses thriving. Any one of their projects can easily support a group of people. Unlike our Daoist temple, we have a bunch of projects but still can't support our entire group."

The person said, "Running a Daoist temple requires keeping up with the times and having a forward-looking perspective. We must not be bound by old rules and abandon the whole forest for a crooked tree."

The abbots of the other Daoist temples were seething with hatred for these rebellious youths who had returned after completing their studies, but they were speechless, since they had personally sent them away in the first place.

Fortunately, despite their rebellious nature, they actually learned some valuable lessons from their trip to Clear Breeze Temple.

First of all, I've definitely learned how to do live streaming.

Moreover, almost every Daoist priest who studied at Clear Breeze Temple knew that they should promote something unique to their temple during their live streams. As a result, for a period of time, various Daoist priest live streams sprang up everywhere. Some taught fortune telling, some taught exorcism, and some taught people how to change their fate through metaphysics...

Anyway, it's all a mix of truth and falsehood. Whether it's effective or not is another matter, but it's certainly certainly creating quite a stir.

So much so that many ordinary people couldn't help but privately remark that they hadn't realized Daoism was so prosperous before! How come Daoism suddenly seems to have such a strong presence?

Yun Zhaozhao was quite pleased.

When she has free time, she will browse the live streams of these Daoist priests. Sometimes when she happens to pass by and sees them live streaming, she will generously give them tips.

Her account name wasn't changed; it remained " Abbot of Clear Breeze Temple." So, every now and then, you'd hear the Daoist priests in these live streams mentioning things like, "Thank you Abbot of Clear Breeze Temple, for the yacht."

Wen Xu worked hard at the factory, often working overtime, and didn't have time to go to Clear Breeze Temple the Yun Zhaozhao every day.

If she couldn't go, she would privately inquire with Jingting: "Besides eating, petting the cats, and taking walks, what else did your abbot do today?"

Jingting was also honest. "I didn't do anything else, just watched the handsome Daoist priest's live stream, and occasionally went into his live stream to try and get some gold coins!"
