After the female ghost and Huang Jue started browsing Taobao to pick out glasses, everyone turned their attention back to the male ghost named Uncle Shen who was caught at the beginning.
Uncle Shen lifted his long black and smooth hair, his eyes slyly rolling around, and he looked like an honest person. He asked cautiously, “Master, the matter has been resolved. I haven’t done anything bad. Can you let me go? I still have a lot of work to do.”
Tuan Tuanyi was very curious about his occupation: “Why, do you still have a job? What do you do?”
Uncle Shen said bitterly, “I just opened an agency and took a few orders to make a living. I usually introduce ghosts to people to do odd jobs. I don’t make much money. I have to run to several places every day. It’s just now that I started working. Master, please give me a way out. I have several employees under me!”
Shuo Zong ignored his crying. This old ghost was so careless in his work. After being hired, he didn’t even verify the specific information of the target of revenge and dared to stir up trouble. It would be better to get rid of such a troublemaker as soon as possible.
After talking to Uncle Shen for a few words, Tuan Tuanyi felt that he had a good chance, so he quietly approached Wei Xi and said, “Master, this old ghost has a good business vision. He was able to start from scratch and open an agency in Beijing, which proves that his management skills are also good. Don’t we still need someone who can manage things in Taicang Haunted House? That dead otaku Xiao Pang only knows how to play games, and his ability in career planning is really not that good.”
Wei Xi thought it made sense: “You’re right.”
He waved to Shuo Zong again: “Disciple, give him to me.”
Tuan Tuanyi saw his junior brother glance at him coldly, with a look like the look that the queen might give to a concubine who had slandered her.
He shivered when he was stared at and felt that his thoughts were really erotic. What kind of metaphors did he use? Hahahaha…
Uncle Shen had just been bitten and thrown around, punched and kicked. He was extremely scared of Wei Xi. When he was picked up by Wei Xi, he immediately put his hands on his head and said, “Big, Great Immortal, please forgive me! I know I was wrong.”
Tuan Tuanyi comforted him: “Don’t worry, the misunderstanding has been resolved. My master has always been gentle and kind. He will not hit you again. Instead, we want to introduce you to a job.”
Gentle and kind…
Uncle Shen carefully glanced at Wei Xi’s eyes which were filled with the expression “I really want to eat you up in one bite”. His legs immediately started to tremble wildly, and he asked tremblingly, “What…what job?”
Could it be that he wanted to turn him into a ghost card and use him as a slave? He had heard of some of the cruel methods used by monks before.
Unexpectedly, Tuan Tuanyi just took out his phone and flipped through it, then found a page and handed it to him, saying in a persuasive manner: “I just heard you say that you opened an agency. I guess your agency must be operating illegally? The business model is so irregular, no wonder you can’t make money. Take a look at the haunted house opened by our Taicang Sect. It is formal and transparent, pays taxes according to the law, and has a business license. Customer reviews on the Internet are also very good. Although it has only been open for a short time, its development prospects are quite unlimited. More importantly, our salary level is very generous, the employee promotion mechanism is also very complete, and there are exclusive benefits specially provided by the sect, which allows you to work during the day. How about it? Are you interested in learning more?”
Uncle Shen: “…”
Tuan Tuanyi called Xiao Pang, who happily squeezed out from the gap in the phone receiver. However, because he had too much flesh, it took him a long time to move his whole body out, which scared everyone in the room.
He didn’t feel that he was intimidating at all. He proudly took out an account book and went to Wei Xi to take credit. “Master, the hot search set meal recommended by our sworn brother is really useful. Recently, many customers who came over because of our reputation have become repeat customers. Because of word of mouth, many customers from other places now know our reputation. Yesterday afternoon, we also entertained a group of students from Nanjing. It is said that they saw the news on WeChat Moments and came here specially. After the end, they gave high scores in the customer opinion letter, and they all praised our exquisite props. They will bring other friends to play next time. If we keep going like this, we may be able to open a branch store soon.”
Wei Xi nodded in appreciation. At this time, Xiao Pang saw Ruan Shixing standing nearby, recognized him, and greeted him in a friendly manner.
When Ruan Shixing saw him crawl out of the phone, he knew what was standing in front of him. He looked at him and Wei Xi with a pale face: “You, you are——”
“You don’t remember me? Yeah, you probably didn’t notice me at that time.” Xiao Pang patted his head and quickly handed him a business card. “Hello, hello, you are one of our first customers. Thank you for choosing to support us. When you have time, bring your friends to come more often. We have a new single dog theme in November, which is very fun.”
Ruan Shixing saw the business card in his hand that said “Taicang Haunted House Welcomes You” and looked at Wei Xi in disbelief. What did the name of this haunted house mean?
Wei Xi finished looking at him, thought for a moment and said to Xiao Pang, “This Mr. Ruan is a VIP gold card customer of our sect. From now on, if he shows his membership card, you should give him a 99% discount when he and his fellow guests buy tickets for the haunted house!”
Xiao Pang looked at Ruan Shixing with shining eyes: “So you are a gold card VIP! Nice to meet you!”
Ruan Shixing: “…”
Damn it! It turns out that Taicang Sect is not only responsible for catching ghosts, but now they are also doing business with ghosts!
….
Xiao Pang got along pretty well with Uncle Shen. After chatting for a few sentences, he found out that they had both been bitten by Wei Xi like him, so they felt even more sympathetic towards each other and they hit it off right away.
After Uncle Shen looked at the business license and tax payment certificate presented by Xiao Pang, he also felt that this company was more formal than his own makeshift team. What’s more, the company was in its start-up phase and with his abilities he could enter the management level. After thinking about it for a while, he made a decisive decision to bring his current employees with him to join the company.
He was different from Xiao Pang. He had been working outside for many years and had made many friends. When the time came, he would probably be able to find many interested employees after some screening.
Xiao Pang was overjoyed. The company was making steady progress and had everything it needed except manpower. Uncle Shen’s arrival solved its biggest pressing problem. Soon the two men started talking about their business.
Unlike Xiao Pang who had no big ambitions, he was a wild ghost who had no house or car and started his own business from scratch. Over the years, he had thought about countless ways to make money. When he learned that Xiao Pang and his friends could now open a store during the day, he immediately slapped his thigh and said with great regret: “Hey! Why did you use such a good opportunity to open a haunted house! How much money can a haunted house make from a ticket? There are also so many expenses for the venue and labor. Do you know what I wanted to do most? It wasn’t these trivial commissions. I wanted to be a private detective!”
Xiao Pang was stunned: “What is that?”
Uncle Shen said, “Have you heard of paparazzi? It’s similar to that. Nowadays, some married people are living a good life, and they are cheating on their partners every day. Some wealthy wives and bosses will hire private detectives to follow their targets. If they can get evidence of the other party’s cheating, or proof of private transfer of property, divorce will be much easier! However, this evidence is not easy to find. It must be reasonable and legal, and it cannot infringe on privacy. Living people will be discovered if they follow in public. If it were us, wouldn’t we be blessed!”
….
None of the ghosts the Huang family encountered were decent. Wei Xi came here in high spirits but went back hungry. He only ate a few packs of useless shrimp chips and was not in a good mood.
The old neighborhood was much quieter at night. Huang Jue’s family sent them out respectfully with an extremely good attitude. The female ghost also held the child and thanked Wei Xi profusely: “Thank you, Master. If it weren’t for your help, I don’t know when the misunderstanding between me and my brother-in-law could be resolved, and I don’t know when the baby could learn to speak.”
The ghost baby in her arms was crying uncontrollably, covering its little penis that had been bounced, and its cries were so loud that they sounded like the roar of a wild animal.
Seeing the female ghost’s pleased face, Wei Xi also thought that he might have done something great, so he waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, come to me if you have business in the future.”
As he was chatting, he heard someone behind him calling his name hesitantly.
He looked back and saw a small black car parked not far away. The driver stuck his head out and was surprised and delighted when he saw him: “Shit! It’s really you! When did you come back to Beijing, you bast**d? It’s ok that you didn’t post on Weibo or Moments, but why didn’t you even call us? We are classmates after all!”
The man paused, then saw the group of people behind Wei Xi. He didn’t say much, opened the door, handed Wei Xi a business card, and said with a smile: “Forget it, you have something to do, right? It’s not urgent right now, we can talk next time when we are free.” After that, he lowered his voice and whispered in Wei Xi’s ear: “Brother, don’t keep it to yourself if you have any difficulties. The classmates are here and will find a way for you.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and got into the car with the same smile as when he appeared.
Wei Xi stared at the rear of his car in silence. So, Tuan Tuanyi stepped forward and asked, “Master, who is this person?”
Wei Xi didn’t know, so he didn’t answer, but just thought about it secretly.
The fortune of the person who just left didn’t look very good.
Fortunately, this was just a short episode. After saying goodbye to the Huang family, he returned to the Wei family with his two apprentices.
On the way, Tuan Tuanyi was still thinking about what the man they had just met said, thinking, “Oh my god, my master actually has a Weibo account?” But when they entered the courtyard, they were completely shocked.
The messy garden ground that they had left before leaving had already been cleaned up and looked brand new. Earth pits of varying sizes were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, with scattered soil piled neatly beside the pits. The progress of the project was just like suddenly summoning eighteen hundred servants out of a magic lamp.
There were many small stools placed in the mud, and seven or eight dusty women were sitting inside, drinking coffee elegantly. Tuan Tuanyi squinted hard and realized that the mud ring-like thing on one of their wrists was actually a diamond watch.
Even though they were in such a mess, they were still chattering happily. One with mud all over her head pointed at another with mud all over her face and said, “Wow, you are so cunning, you must have secretly smeared it on your face just now!”
The one being pointed at retorted, “Aren’t you pretending to scratch your scalp casually to cure hair loss?”
Tuanyi: “???”
What’s going on?
Wei Xi nodded with satisfaction and looked at the woman with the dullest expression in the crowd: “Wanrong, you are very smart and did a good job.”
Shu Wanrong slowly turned around and looked at him: “…”
Thank you, thank you so much for your compliment. I have been digging in the mud for a whole day and I am really happy.
