Chapter 43

Now that he had officially become the owner of the Treasure Hall, Su Wen finally took the first step in his life.

Next, he planned to make sweeping reforms to the Treasure Hall. In the future, the Treasure Hall would first need to shake off the impression of being just an antique shop, so his first plan was to reduce the status of those antiques in the Treasure Hall.

As for how to find some treasures, that would depend on the Great Heavenly Dao Recycling System.

There were countless treasures in the world. As long as his vitality could be improved, the rise of the Treasure Hall was an inevitable trend.

At this stage, his vitality was 1.4, and it would soon reach 1.5. If it reached 1.8, his vitality would increase by 1, and the detection range would also increase by 500 meters. This would mean he could detect unowned items within 1000 meters, which would certainly be a great thing. Sitting still, he could easily recycle items from 1000 meters away, giving him a sense of taking someone's head from a thousand meters away.

"Boss, should I start learning martial arts now?" Li Huan was already eager. The Treasure Hall usually opened at 9 AM, but this guy hadn't slept well all night and came over at 8 AM. His eyes were still a bit red.

Su Wen looked at Li Huan. What he could teach him now was only physical techniques.

Yesterday, Su Wen had already asked Xiao Tian. Although the physical techniques were created specifically for Su Wen, others could also practice them, just with less effect. Su Wen didn't care about that. If Li Huan practiced, even if the effect was a bit worse, it would still be much better than some fake techniques.

"In the future, you will work during the day and practice what I teach you in the Treasure Hall at night. From today on, the Treasure Hall will also be open at night. Of course, if you have free time during work, you can also practice what I teach you." Su Wen thought for a moment. This was a temporary idea. Other antique shops might close in the evening, but the Treasure Hall would not be just an antique shop, so it couldn't close so early.

"Yes, Boss!" Li Huan became excited.

"I'll teach you today's practice content in a while. Before that, I'll arrange your work. Our Treasure Hall is short of staff, and there's basically no security. For now, this part will be your responsibility. If anything is lost here, I'll hold you responsible." Su Wen wasn't joking.

A place that gathered treasures from all over the world couldn't possibly lack its own security department. What Su Wen was doing now was laying the groundwork for the future.

"What about me?" Chen Yunhao couldn't help but ask.

"You will mainly be responsible for the operation of the Treasure Hall. Uncle Zhao and Uncle Ma will assist you." Su Wen looked at Chen Yunhao. "In the future, no matter what others want to buy or sell, don't be surprised. When you see those fools, extort them heavily."

Chen Yunhao nodded, not quite understanding.

"What about me?" Chu Fei was anxious.

"You?" Su Wen looked at Chu Fei. "Do what you want, as long as you don't cause trouble for me."

"No, I'm one of the shareholders of the Treasure Hall, and I want to do something for it." Chu Fei was不服 (unwilling to accept). If she left the Treasure Hall, she really didn't know what to do.

"Since you're so proactive, you can try to bring more students from Jiangning University to the Treasure Hall. By the way, there are still many people waiting for interviews outside. Later, you and Grandpa Chu can go together to screen them. Keep about seven or eight people." Su Wen thought for a moment.

"What kind of job is this?" Chu Fei didn't understand.

"Personnel manager." Su Wen said casually.

Chu Fei nodded excitedly. "It sounds very impressive. Sister, what do you think of this job?"

Yi Xue smiled bitterly. "It's fine, but you have to listen to Grandpa."

Chu Fei didn't care who she listened to. She looked at Su Wen, now very admiring. However, Su Wen had already started planning other things. Now that the staff was mostly arranged, the next step was to build the Treasure Hall's reputation. Thinking of this, he thought of the Water Spirit Grass.

If he brought out the Water Spirit Grass, it would surely shock some people!

Of course, it would only work if those people knew what they were looking at. Ordinary people wouldn't know.

Grandpa Chu looked at the scene before him and felt somewhat comforted. "Su Wen, it's really lively with so many people coming to the Treasure Hall."

Su Wen nodded. "It is lively, but we still lack an opportunity."

As he spoke, a person at the door peered in.

"What do you want?" Grandpa Chu asked.

"Is Su Wen here?" the person asked.

"I am." Su Wen frowned.

The person walked to Su Wen, looked at him, and didn't find him strange. However, he still followed the instructions of the hall master. "This is a challenge letter from our hall master. You should accept it."

A challenge letter?

Su Wen took it and saw that it was written on rice paper.

"Cheng Dafeng?" Su Wen saw the signature. "Who is this person, and why does he want to challenge me?"

Hearing Cheng Dafeng's name, the people around him quickly changed their expressions.

"Su Wen, Cheng Dafeng is not simple. The Cheng Jin you beat is his grandson." Yi Xue frowned. "In the Jiangning circle, there are many civilian organizations. One of them is the Martial Arts Association, which gathers most of the martial arts experts in the Jiangning area. The vice president of this organization is Cheng Dafeng. His Cheng family boxing is famous in Jiangning and even in the entire province. I didn't expect him to challenge you. It's very impolite for an elder to challenge a junior."

Su Wen was also stunned. "The vice president of the Martial Arts Association wants to challenge me?"

"Su Wen, Cheng Jin's grandfather is very powerful. Once, when I went to see Cheng Jin, I saw the old man shatter a blue brick with one punch, kick a wooden post to pieces, and lift a hundred-pound sandbag with one hand. He walked with a fierce gait, and his breath sounded like thunder." Chu Fei couldn't help but speak, and she was slightly excited when she mentioned this.

"He's really a powerful guy." Su Wen had a good idea of Cheng Dafeng's strength just from Chu Fei's description.

After a moment of thought, a plan formed in his mind.

"Su Wen, maybe you shouldn't go." Grandpa Chu thought for a moment. "You are a junior. If you don't go, others won't say much. That Cheng old man is indeed very powerful. I'm also a member of the Martial Arts Association and have seen him in action a few times. He's truly remarkable."

Su Wen looked at Grandpa Chu. He knew that Grandpa Chu had some skills, but he didn't expect him to be a member of the Martial Arts Association. No matter what others said, since the challenge had been issued, Su Wen wouldn't back down. He also wanted to test his own strength. His side mission 2 had been delayed, and this was a good opportunity. Moreover, if he wanted to promote the Treasure Hall, he couldn't miss this chance.

"If I can sell the Water Spirit Grass to Cheng Dafeng, it will surely make many people look at the Treasure Hall differently. Then, the hat of being just an antique shop will naturally be removed." Su Wen was still thinking about this.

"Do you want to accept the challenge?" Yi Xue noticed that Su Wen's eyes were becoming more determined.

"Why not?" Su Wen smiled. "Don't worry too much. It's just a normal martial arts exchange. No matter how powerful Cheng Dafeng is, he can't kill me, right? If I get injured, he will definitely be seen as bullying a junior. No matter what, I think this challenge is very beneficial to me. It will be interesting to fight with a similarly skilled expert. Hehe!"

"Interesting?" Li Huan muttered, but then he became very confident in Su Wen. "Boss, don't be afraid. If you knock out that Cheng Dafeng, you might even become the vice president of the Martial Arts Association."

Su Wen couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, I'm not interested in being a vice president. I just want Cheng Dafeng to buy my things."

The people around him were puzzled. How did this suddenly involve buying things?

"Alright, the challenge is in three days. You all do what you need to do. I'll prepare well for these three days, so I won't come to work much. I'm not skipping work; I'm preparing for the challenge." Su Wen said, and the people around him sighed.

From the way Su Wen had arranged the work for everyone, it was clear that he planned to be a hands-off boss in the future.

Chen Yunhao seemed to already see his bleak future.

Lin Xinyi had classes in the morning and didn't come to the Treasure Hall. When she came in the afternoon, Su Wen was indeed not there, as he had said. However, Su Wen had already given instructions, and Lin Xinyi took over the financial management of the Treasure Hall without any dispute.

In the Cheng family martial arts hall, an old man was harshly scolding his grandson.

The old man, of course, was Cheng Dafeng.
