“Uncle Zhang, from now on, for any matters concerning the store, you can report directly to Changsheng.”
“Li Shi, Wang Wu, if you have any issues, also report directly to the Second Master.”
Once everyone had arrived, Lu Miaoge addressed the group.
Her tone was cool and brisk, carrying a trace of decisiveness.
This let Lu Changsheng see another side of the young miss he didn’t often witness.
In usual interactions with Lu Miaoge, she always appeared detached and refined, with a temperament like water, never quite like this.
The five individuals, upon hearing this, were all somewhat surprised and looked at Lu Changsheng in astonishment.
They had not expected that this handsome and spirited young man would be a Middle Grade Talisman Master!
Their new boss in the future.
“Zhang Shan, has met the Second Master.”
“Li Shi, has met the Second Master.”
“Wang Wu, has met the Second Master.”
“He Liu, has met the Second Master.”
“Sun Qi, has met the Second Master.”
The five people didn’t think much and immediately saluted with their hands.
Surprise and astonishment in their eyes were replaced by envy, admiration, respect, and yearning.
A Middle Grade Talisman Master, no matter where, could lead a comfortable life.
Especially after they heard the name Lu Changsheng and surname Lu.
They subconsciously thought he was a scion of the Qing Zhu Lu Family.
Coming to take over the shop was just for experience and to familiarize himself with life.
Handsome, talented, and from a good family, it was truly enviable.
Especially for Li Shi, Wang Wu, and the two sales attendants, the way they looked at Lu Changsheng had changed.
“I’ll be troubling you all from now on.”
Lu Changsheng smiled at everyone and slightly bowed his hands.
Lu Miaoge had talked to him about the shop before coming.
The shop’s day-to-day affairs were generally well-managed by Shopkeeper Zhang Shan, and he didn’t need to worry too much.
Aside from guiding Li Shi and Wang Wu in Talisman Making, his main task was to watch over the inventory.
The Spiritual Talisman Shop needed to restock its inventory every month.
These goods, naturally, could not all rely on the Lu Family alone.
Superior Grade, and even Supreme Talismans, were mostly drawn by the Fourth Elder.
However, Basic Talismans and Lower to Middle Grade Talismans were mostly acquired from various Loose Cultivator Talisman Masters.
Although these Loose Cultivators had cooperated with the Lu Family for many years, in terms of quality, it still required the oversight of a Talisman Master like him.
To prevent the issue of inferior quality being passed off as good quality.
After all, the items sold in such shops generally cost more than those on Loose Cultivators’ stalls.
This increase in price was a guarantee of quality.
Materials like talisman paper, spirit ink, and talisman brushes were no exception.
Furthermore, sometimes when the shop was out of a certain type of talisman and a customer urgently needed one, he, as a Talisman Master, would do his best to draw one if he could.
After introducing Lu Changsheng to the employees, Lu Miaoge didn’t say much more and let everyone disperse.
She took out a stack of talismans from her Storage Bag and handed them to Zhang Shan.
All were First Grade Middle and Superior Talismans.
Every month when she returned, in addition to guidance from the Fourth Elder in Talisman Making, she would also bring back a batch of talismans from him.
Lu Miaoge told Lu Changsheng that in addition to some Middle and Superior Grade Talismans, the Fourth Elder would also draw three First Grade Supreme Talismans every month.
These were the treasures of the Spiritual Talisman Shop, the backbone of their establishment.
However, she would not give these three Supreme Talismans to Zhang Shan; instead, she kept them on her person.
If someone wanted them, she would conduct the transaction in person.
Afterward, she took Lu Changsheng on a tour of the shop and introduced him to its situation.
The shop had three floors.
The first floor housed the sales hall, a reception room, and a small courtyard in the back.
The second floor was where Li Shi and Wang Wu worked and rested.
The third floor was designated for the boss Lu Miaoge to rest and sleep, equipped with a living room, bedroom, lounge, Talisman Room, and storage room.
The third floor had restrictions set up, and one needed a token to enter.
Then, Lu Miaoge told Lu Changsheng that she rarely stayed there.
If Lu Changsheng found it inconvenient to stay at the Lu Family’s Eastern District mansion, he could also stay here.
Lu Changsheng was indifferent.
He expressed his preference to first stay at the Lu Family mansion in the Eastern District.
Having come to Nine Dragons Market, he thought it appropriate to make a visit there.
Before coming, the Fourth Elder had told him that the Nine Dragons Market was not limited to just one Spiritual Talisman Shop, but also included other Lu Family businesses.
The Second Elder of the Lu Family was in charge of the Lu Family’s Marketplace affairs, and he usually resided in the Nine Dragons Market.
He informed him that should he need anything, he could also directly seek out the Second Elder.
So naturally, having arrived, he should pay a visit.
This was the way of the Family, with many social obligations.
Otherwise, he would appear too aloof and asocial.
“Sister Miaoge, it’s getting late, may I treat you to a meal?”
“You’ll be burdened with helping me in the days to come, otherwise I’d feel guilty.”
After taking a tour of the shop with Lu Miaoge and finishing the handover, Lu Changsheng spoke to her.
“Sure, let’s just have something nearby.”
Lu Miaoge didn’t refuse and gave a slight nod.
“I haven’t eaten anything good these two days, and I feel like there’s no taste in my mouth at all. I’ve been looking forward to a good meal today; how could I settle for something casual.”
“Sister Miaoge, what’s good to eat around here?”
Lu Changsheng spoke directly.
“Then let’s go to Jade Meal Pavilion next door, I’ve eaten there several times and the food is very good,”
Lu Miaoge said thoughtfully.
“Then let’s go,”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Consequently, the two descended the stairs. At that moment, there were customers in the store examining talisman brushes, with an attendant providing detailed explanations.
Even though the attendant was a commoner, they were trained and knew these items inside out.
Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge didn’t linger, gave a slight nod to Shopkeeper Zhang Shan to signal their departure, and left the shop.
They arrived at a place not too far away, the ‘Jade Meal Pavilion’ that Lu Miaoge had mentioned.
