Opening Day

After dropping Gu Yuxiao off at her place, Liu Yunan waited outside.

After entering the house alone Gu Yuxiao took out all sorts of miscellaneous luggage from her Storage Bag and put them away neatly. Then, she couldn't wait to leave the house and go down the mountain with Liu Yunan for dinner.

Tonight's dinner was prepared by my Uncle Jiang Youfu!

She had tasted his cooking several times at the security escort agency before, and for a while after each meal, she always felt that other foods she used to love tasted bland and unappetizing.

Now, I can finally enjoy Uncle Jiang's cooking every day!

At the dinner table, Gu Yuxiao greeted everyone according to their sect seniority before the meal officially began.

Everyone at the table was of a higher generation than her, with Lin Xiao being the oldest.

She used to call Lin Xiao 'Grandmaster'.

Because Qin Jianghe told her that, strictly speaking, Lin Xiao was the master of all of them.

Therefore, Gu Yuxiao felt no pressure at all when he called out "Grandmaster".

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, felt extremely uncomfortable listening to this.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

After all, this was something Jiang Youfu had meticulously prepared ever since he heard that Gu Yuxiao was coming.

One night passed.

The next morning, Gu Yuxiao first went to the cultivation room with everyone to cultivate, and then toured the entire sect under Liu Yunan's guidance.

They even took advantage of the recently built medicinal herb garden.

While they were touring the sect, Lin Xiao was in the sect's main hall discussing matters related to expansion.

There's no way around it; the training room wasn't very big to begin with, and it's already a bit crowded with so many people.

This problem becomes very obvious during the Chinese New Year period.

At first, everyone thought it was fine; after all, they were all family, so a little squeezing was fine, and being close together made them feel closer.

But now that Gu Yuxiao has arrived, Lin Xiao feels that this problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Ever since the last time with the Nature Platform, Lin Xiao knew that these buildings could be synthesized a second time.

Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult to expand this cultivation room now; simply adding more building materials and Spirit Gathering Formation should suffice.

And so another day passed.

Early in the morning, the Lingxian Sect members went to cultivate and found that the cultivation room had become much larger and more spacious.

It's so big that they could do somersaults inside without bumping into anyone.

Lin Xiao didn't touch other places like the Artifact Refining Hall Formation Hall for the time being.

Since there are no more than a handful of people practicing each skill now, the area in these places is more than enough.

As for the sect's main hall, Lin Xiao didn't touch it for the time being.

He had some other plans.

Even with the current number of sect members, the sect's main hall has more than enough room to accommodate everyone for the meeting, so there's no need to panic.

Ever since Gu Yuxiao finished visiting the sect the next day, she hasn't had a moment's rest.

After finishing their daily cultivation, they would follow Liu Yunan to purchase the supplies needed by the inn and restaurant, as requested by Lin Xiao.

Because she is the future manager, Qin Jianghe meant that all these things must be handled by her personally, which was specifically mentioned in the letters Qin Jianghe sent back.

Thus began Gu Yuxiao shopkeeper, and the easy and boring life she had in the sect was gone forever.

At the same time, Lingxian Sect also began recruiting people in the village.

Besides the chef whom the village chief had already arranged, they also needed to hire many waiters. However, Lin Xiao called them waiters, so the people from the Lingxian Sect followed suit.

Lin Xiao explained the requirements for the waiters to Gu Yuxiao and gave her a one-hour personal training session, after which Gu Yuxiao understood his requirements for the waiters.

In addition, Lin Xiao also gave her a general explanation of the business strategies of the two stores, and demonstrated how to use all the new facilities in the stores.

It's worth mentioning that Gu Yuxiao a strong learning and comprehension ability; she can grasp things instantly with just a hint from Lin Xiao.

This made Lin Xiao's teaching work much easier.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how good Jianghe He had been to find them such a good manager.

Thus, Gu Yuxiao officially took over all the work related to coordinating with the village chief to recruit villagers and renovating the shops.

After she took full control of the shop's operations, she began to monitor the daily foot traffic in Xiushui Village.

Then, the number of service personnel was calculated based on the changes in their shop's procedures and customer traffic.

After calculating the initial number of employees needed, the recruitment of shop assistants for the two stores began in earnest throughout the village.

Upon hearing that these two immortal sect shops were hiring, the villagers were very excited and eager to secure one of the positions.

Not only them, but even some wealthy families who settled in Xiushui Village were tempted. Serving as waiters in shops opened by the immortal sect would give them contact with the sect and the opportunity to meet the immortals. Wouldn't that be equivalent to having one foot in the immortal sect?

They just have some kind of inner conflict that other villagers don't have.

They were torn between registering themselves or sending a servant from their household.

Going alone would be like being just a waiter, which would be beneath me.

But if I send my own servant, and that servant happens to gain some divine favor, wouldn't I be doing all the work for someone else?

The villagers of Xiushui Village wouldn't have the same anxieties as these wealthy and powerful people. They wouldn't worry about losing face or anything like that; they would only know that following the immortal would surely bring benefits.

Just register and you're done!

Not only the villagers of Xiushui Village, but also villagers from the surrounding Ten-Li and towns came to visit after hearing the news.

Although Xiushui Village is located right below the Immortal Gate and has a geographical advantage, who knows, the immortals might just take a liking to these outsiders.

As a result, Xiushui Village became incredibly lively again because of the recruitment of staff by the two shops of the Lingxian Sect.

Fortunately, the Lingxian Sect was there, and the patrol team led by Tietou patrolled around the village diligently every day, so nothing went wrong.

Gu Yuxiao is very efficient.

While juggling both the renovation and the staff recruitment, she had already taken care of all the miscellaneous tasks and successfully recruited all the staff within three days.

Most of them are from Xiushui Village, but there are also a few from outside the village.

In the end, none of the wealthy families had any members left.

Because they could neither lower themselves to work as waiters nor let their own servants try their luck.

The shop renovation was completed in just five days.

Gu Yuxiao spent the rest of her time training the newly recruited waiters.

These villagers were selected by her based on her interactions with them; they seemed obedient, hardworking, and not unintelligent.

And so on, until everything was ready.

Fifteen days later, Lingxian Restaurant and Lingxian Inn officially opened in Xiushui Village.
