As he sat down in the chair, Luo Chen emotionally said.
"Hui Niang, you’ve done such a great job!"
Even after many years of enduring, her heart has already become extremely mature, but upon hearing Luo Chen’s heartfelt praise, Sima Huiniang still felt her nose sour a bit.
Others might not know why Luo Chen praised her so abruptly.
Only Sima Huiniang knew it clearly.
That afternoon, Luo Chen did more than simply inspect The Great River District and inquire about the development of every hall.
He also judged their current attitudes towards the Luo Tian Creed through casual chats with each cultivator he encountered briefly.
The overall reduction in basic salaries was undoubtedly a risky move.
Indeed, the downfall of numerous large companies often began with cost-cutting and internal personnel management.
In his previous life, Luo Chen was merely an exploited middle-level employee.
He knew these principles, but not their reasoning.
Therefore, when deciding to make this chess move, he was still nervous.
He did not want to see the Luo Tian Creed he built with his own hands, to end in such a hasty manner.
However, the reality proved that he had to take this step.
Otherwise, the collapse of the Luo Tian Creed would only come faster.
During this period, Luo Chen had been preoccupied with these matters.
That’s why he headed straight to Danxia Peak after meeting Li Jinhuang.
However, after observing along the journey, he found that there was no sign of severe public outrage internally.
This proved that the internal cultivators had accepted the previous series of policies.
The acceptance was not due to how good the policies were, but the person implementing the policy did an excellent job!
That’s why Luo Chen naturally praised Sima Huiniang.
Even though she might lack vision due to her limitations in managing development,
she indeed had talents in administration and personnel adjustment.
After several years, she had converted her talents into real strength!
"President, you are overpraising."
"I was able to achieve this because I had your prestige, so everything could go smoothly."
"Prestige, maybe!"
Luo Chen shook his head and smiled.
Looking at the slightly tired woman, he guessed that she had suffered a lot and borne many complaints during the implementation of the merit policy!
After all, the generous one was always President Luo Chen.
And the stingy one was always President Sima Huiniang.
Sima Huiniang earnestly said, "At the beginning of the implementation of the merit policy, I first made a harsh example to intimidate others, and then offered benefits both stick and carrot."
"Especially, the benefits of our Luo Tian Creed are much better than other local forces."
"Whether it’s good or bad, everyone has a clear account in their hearts."
"The most important thing is that everyone thinks they have the opportunity to rise to the top by following the president!"
"Duan, Wang, Min, the three of them have established their foundation, Hall Master Murong is about to make breakthrough, then who is next? Who is in the future? Everyone thinks they have a chance!"
"And this opportunity, other small forces would not give it, only the president alone would!"
Is that so?
Luo Chen was very pleased to hear this, but he was reminded of Li Jinhuang’s words that morning.
Ha ha!
That old man probably made a judgment about his character based on this, right!
After all, anyone can make beautiful promises, but the reality can only be seen through actual actions.
Luo Chen did not make many beautiful promises, but the Luo Tian Creed indeed produced several Foundation Establishment True Cultivators!
This is the most convincing evidence!
"I am very relieved to hand over the Luo Tian Creed to you."
"Keep up the good work!"
Without saying anything else, Luo Chen encouraged her and then left Danxia Peak.
If he stayed any later, the gates of Tian Lan would close, and it would be troublesome to ask Xu Jingnian to open them again.
Now is a crucial time for him to break through to the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, Luo Chen did not want to waste a single day.
Today, he spent the whole day investigating the potential risks of the Luo Tian Creed.
Only when the Luo Tian Creed was completely safe,
Could he focus solely on cultivation and pill refinement.
Underneath the cold moonlight, above the desolate land, a flying boat was breaking through the air.
Suddenly, Luo Chen frowned, his gaze fell not far ahead.
Three falcons were tumbling in mid-air.
The magic tools were flashing, and the murderous intent was chilling.
A silhouette was struggling left and right under the siege of three enemies and three falcons.
"Interesting!"
"A dignified Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, was actually driven into such a plight by three Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators."
Luo Chen shook his head and had no intention of getting involved in this murky water.
After only a quick glance, he drove the Langqi Flying Boat at full force, preparing to bypass the people ahead.
While flying, his eyes were closely watching the battle.
He always felt that the person being besieged looked familiar.
"Huh?"
"It’s him!"
Luo Chen remembered, this was none other than the scar-faced cultivator who sold him three incomplete magic items.
This man had reached the Foundation Establishment stage almost at the same time as Min Longyu, and later left Tian Lan Immortal City almost immediately after his realm was not yet stable.
In his gaze, the scar-faced cultivator seemed to be forced into a desperate situation and roared fiercely.
"Young ones, you go too far!"
"Die!"
Before his words fell, a dazzling sword light suddenly sprang out.
Under this sword, those three Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators and the three falcons, were instantly obliterated without a trace, without even a last word.
"Magic Item!"
"Tsk tsk, what a pity, it seems like he just simply refined it. Just one sword already exhausted all his spirit power and even caused backlash damage to him."
"But the fact that three Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators dared to siege a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, they really didn’t know what death is."
Those three, Luo Chen could see clearly.
They might be considered good, but they weren’t astonishingly strong.
Even Duan Feng and Qin Liangchen from the Dahefang period were not comparable, their strength was merely equivalent to Zeng Wen’s.
People who thought they could defeat an opponent of a higher order were really ignorant of their mortality.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen maneuvered the flying boat to bypass the battleground.
Just then, from behind him,
"Friend Luo Chen, please save me!"
