As soon as Xiao Pang said the nonsense, he felt that something had been exposed and quickly covered his mouth.
Tuan Tuanyi was dumbfounded: “Damn it, can you guys even be any better? What kind of a shady company do you run? The employees are unprofessional, they evade taxes, and they harass female customers on a daily basis?”
The little fat ghost paused in sobbing.
Tuan Tuanyi asked again: “Have you applied for a business license?”
After not getting an answer for a long while, he said in a long voice, “So it’s still operating without a license…”
Little Fat Ghost: “…”
It sounded really informal.
But what business experience could a bunch of ghosts who changed their careers have? Moreover, the times were changing rapidly now. It was already very good for ghosts of their age and historical background to think of an Internet marketing company. You know, there were uncles and aunts in their team who were from the Republic of China. The fat ghost felt a little wronged: “I really don’t know how to do these things and there is also recruiting. The salary here is not high. Generally, everyone introduces each other to each other. Who knew that such a thing would sneak in…”
Tuan Tuanyi had read a lot of professional knowledge on Zhihu recently and felt that he had made great progress in career planning. He could not help but marvel at this company with chaotic management. Then he heard the young man named Lu Que next to him coldly say, “In such a gloomy environment like yours, there are only wandering ghosts coming and going. Even if you don’t take the initiative to look for them, you will attract evil spirits with ulterior motives. Is that so strange?”
The little fat ghost suddenly realized something, but then he started to worry again. If it was really like what the man said, how could the haunted house business continue? It had only been less than a month since the business started and something had happened. If they bumped into an old man or old lady again, the compensation alone would probably bankrupt their team.
He was dejected: “What should I do? This was not mentioned in the customer questionnaire during the initial market research. Starting a business is really difficult.”
Suddenly he remembered something, and looked at Lu Que, who seemed to know a lot, with sparkling eyes: “Master, don’t you know how to catch ghosts? How about you perform a ritual for us?”
Lu Que, who was asked by a ghost to perform a ritual for the first time, said: “…”
Tuan Tuanyi was surprised and asked, “You guys still want to keep this haunted house open?!”
The little fat ghost said as a matter of course: “Of course, the funds have been invested. We spent a lot of money on decoration and trending searches! We have to make a profit.”
At this time, Wei Xi finished eating the last ghost leg, burped with satisfaction, and raised his head.
The little fat ghost instantly became cowardly again, shrinking his head like a quail, fearing that the other party would roll him into the same pasta.
Wei Xi ignored him. He couldn’t eat him. What was the point of being so fat? It made people angry just by looking at it.
Instead, he was more interested in Lu Que beside him. After all, the other party not only did not stop him from eating, but also did not try to snatch his food. More importantly, this man had a dense yang energy all over his body, which was really enviable.
After thinking it over, he thought that this guy was good at fighting but not greedy, so he might not be easy to subdue. So he simply asked him, “Have you ever thought about accepting me as your master?”
“…” Lu Que looked at his left eye which showed “I want to be your master” and his right eye which showed “Come and work for me for free” and was silent for a while. Under Wei Xi’s gaze, he still shook his head.
Wei Xi immediately announced: “From now on, you are the second disciple of my Taicang Sect.”
“…” Lu Que was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to the little fat ghost and said: “If I perform a ritual, I can only perform a ritual to save the dead. Do you want to reincarnate?”
When the little fat ghost heard this, his face immediately changed: “No, no, no! I bought so much equipment, and the ghost haven’t even finished training yet! What’s more, I have a house in Beijing, what’s the point of reincarnation!”
Lu Que’s expression became even more unpredictable. He stared at him for a while, and then calmly nodded to Wei Xi with his chin under the anxious gaze of the little fat ghost: “Then you’d better invite him.”
Fat ghost: “???”
Wei Xi: ??? What would you like me to do, cook for yourself? Eat?
Half an hour later, this newly opened haunted house in the suburbs of Beijing welcomed a new controlling shareholder.
Wei Xi somehow came to own 51% of the technology shares. At the same time, he met with shareholders and employees contacted by the fat ghost. In fact, there were not many of them, only about eleven or twelve ghosts. Some of them had seen a lot of them by leaning out of the window just now, and they were trembling when they stood in front of him.
Wei Xi looked around and found that they were all cowardly minions. Not to mention doing evil, they were afraid to catch even a mouse alive. And the causes of death were all bizarre. Some were electrocuted while bathing, some drove into a tree, some choked while eating, and some even fell into a manhole while walking on a rainy day. When he saw the last Republican ghost in a cloth gown who looked malnourished with tears in his eyes, he finally frowned in disappointment. Why couldn’t he eat any of them?
Although Xiao Pang was a homebody, he was very perceptive. Seeing the discontent on his face, he immediately stepped forward to introduce: “Boss, this is Lao Zhang. He is responsible for hiding in the corner of the stairs and throwing his head out to scare people. The frightening effect is very good. Don’t look at him like this. He was shot in the neck and died because he was protecting his parents and wife during the war. However, his family was not saved in the end, and there is no descendant to burn incense and worship him, so he still has to support the three ghosts in his family and works very hard.”
When Tuan Tuanyi heard the ghost’s cause of death, he hurriedly tried to support the ghost’s head. Although his hand went straight through, he still received a tearful gratitude from the ghost of the Republic of China.
Wei Xi thought about how much a family of four would have to eat every day and felt that it was indeed not easy.
Tuan Tuanyi whispered to him, “Master, I think this business is good. Think about it, the site is ready, and we don’t have to pay five insurances and one housing fund for hiring ghosts. The salary is not as high as that of college students. We can save a lot of labor expenses every month.”
Wei Xi had listened to Tuan Tuanyi’s popular science about various entrepreneurial expenses some time ago, and he already knew how much employee salary expenses accounted for in the daily costs of the company. He thought it made sense and thought that he would be in charge of personnel issues here in the future, and who knows, he might even get food delivered to his door, so he nodded and said, “Well, that’s good. Since he has a heavy burden, let’s ask his family members to come to work in the future.”
When the Republic of China ghost heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Tuan Tuanyi left them his contact information, and then thought of something else, and warned Xiao Pang righteously: “From now on, you are not allowed to kiss female customers secretly!”
….
The matter was settled, and Taicang Sect suddenly had a new business. Wei Xi immediately had a better impression of Lu Que, who had made a fortune for him, and could not help but say to Tuanyi: “Look at you, you don’t want to eat this or that, and you are so disobedient. Your junior brother is much more capable than you.”
Lu Que: “…”
Tuan Tuanyi was confused. When did this happen? How did they become brothers now? Wasn’t the master’s way of accepting disciples a bit hasty?
It was already late, and after Wei Xi dismissed his new employees, he looked at the sky outside and announced, “Let’s go, disciples, let’s go back and eat.”
After saying that, he stepped forward and looked at Ruan Shixing lying on the ground, as if he was considering where to start. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally pulled up one of the other’s feet and dragged him outside.
He dragged the child very roughly, without even looking at the road. Tuan Tuanyi could hear the back of Ruan Shixing’s head hitting the ground and furniture repeatedly, making a dull thumping sound.
Tuan Tuanyi thought this was not a good idea and was about to step forward to dissuade them. Lu Wenqing, who had fainted nearby, was also awakened by the noise. He opened his eyes with confusion and fear. When he saw Wei Xi’s actions, he immediately woke up with shock: “Wei! Wei Xi! Stop it!”
Wei Xi stopped and looked at him.
Lu Wenqing rushed over sweating profusely, and when he saw Ruan Shixing’s face was twice as fat after being beaten, he sweated even faster. He carefully tried to pry Wei Xi’s hand that was holding Ruan Shixing’s ankle: “Yes, or should I do it?”
Wei Xi immediately let go. After all, this wasn’t a VIP customer of their sect who had signed up for a membership card. So Ruan Shixing’s thigh slammed to the ground, making another muffled sound.
Lu Wenqing: “…”
The bite wound on his shoulder started to hurt again, and he remembered everything that happened before he fainted. He looked around the villa fearfully: “Is this resolved?”
Not only solved, but also directly reached a merger and acquisition. Wei Xi nodded, and Lu Wenqing’s eyes immediately became admiring. He still remembered the way Wei Xi fiercely pulled the evil ghost out of Ruan Shixing. It was so cool. From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen such a simple, crude and effective way of catching ghosts!
Wei Xi simply opened the door to a new world for him!
He admired Wei Xi so much at this moment that after getting the answer, he stopped asking questions, picked up Ruan Shixing and immediately followed him.
When he stepped out of the door, Ruan Shixing’s eyebrows jumped and he finally woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, besides the moonlight outside, the only thing he felt was the pain all over his body.
He couldn’t help but hiss, on raising his hand to touch his face, he found that his whole face was swollen.
When the friends waiting outside saw someone appear at the door, they immediately gathered around. At first glance, they almost didn’t recognize Ruan Shixing who was being supported. When they realized who this person was, they were immediately shocked: “This! How did it become like this?! What happened in there?!”
Wei Xi thought for a moment, pointed at Ruan Shixing and briefly explained: “He was possessed in there just now, hugged Lu Wenqing to fight, and even bit Lu Wenqing.”
Seriously speaking, it was true. The place where he was bitten still hurt a lot. So, Lu Wenqing nodded.
His friends were all terrified. They looked at Ruan Shixing’s almost inhuman face and were terrified. What kind of powerful ghost could it be to make someone like this? Ruan Shixing also saw his wounds clearly in the makeup mirror handed to him by his friend and felt dizzy.
This fu**ing thing… was actually caused by a fight with Lu Wenqing?
He had no memory of anything that happened when he was possessed and could not help but look at his childhood friend with resentment.
Lu Wenqing: “…”
Look at this pot, it is big and round.
