Wei Xi was preparing to organize a company outing when he received the good news from his boss that the kiln had been successfully fired.
Taicang Sect received a promotion from the Underworld Yamen, and it jumped from a private enterprise to a public institution. Its future was now limitless. This was really the best news for a small company in its start-up phase.
Such a great and happy event must be shared with employees. It just so happened that the company had never had any group activities since its establishment. Appropriate group activities could be very helpful in cultivating tacit understanding among employees. Therefore, at the suggestion of Taicang Sect General Manager Tuan Tuanyi, Chairman Wei Xi decided to hold an expansion activity for the first time.
The attitude of Shuo Zong, the head of the finance department of Taicang Sect, was: “…”
Speaking of job allocation, the process was actually like this.
That day, Wei Xi urged his disciples to find a photo frame to frame the certificate they had received and hang it next to the business license in the living room. Wei Tianyi, who was still unhappy with his dinner, walked over with his hands behind his back, frowned, and glanced at the certificate.
When he first saw the festive red cover of the certificate, he thought it was a certificate of merit or that Wei Xi had obtained a technician certificate or something. But when he looked closely, he realized what the hell was, demons and monsters.
Wei Tianyi felt it was unlucky and raised his brows, saying, “What is that? Pick it up quickly!”
Tuan Tuanyi explained to him that this was a government commendation received by their company, and Taicang Sect was no longer an ordinary company but a government agency.
Wei Tianyi didn’t believe a word of it. Instead, he thought his eldest son and his eldest disciple were completely insane. What kind of a shady government office was this? Even someone who forged a certificate would have to be out of their mind to come up with this kind of thing. And they even commended him for it. He sneered and asked, “Oh, so impressive? Have you joined the Party? The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference? Which agency does your unit belong to? The Central Committee? The National People’s Congress? The State Council?”
Wei Xi: “?”
Tuan Tuanyi began to ponder: “To which one do we belong?”
Shuo Zong: “…It belongs to neither of them.”
Wei Tianyi wasn’t quite full, but he was quite pleased with himself for having finally won back a city. He taunted, “I’ve been in the business world for so many years, I’ve tasted more salt than you’ve tasted rice, and yet such a small, shabby company like yours is pretending to be something mysterious and burning incense and praying to Buddha every day. I don’t know what you’re doing, the positions aren’t even clearly defined, and they call it a public institution. You micro-entrepreneurs are just being given face!”
As the saying goes, there must be a teacher among three people. Wei Xi frowned deeply after hearing this.
Putting aside the series of institutions mentioned by Wei Tianyi that sounded difficult to deal with, the suggestion he made alone was of high standard. Since the reconstruction of Taicang Sect, except for Uncle Shen, the human resources manager, no other management positions had been appointed.
If they wanted to expand the sect, they couldn’t continue to treat it like this.
He took the company position ranking list that Tuan Tuanyi had searched. As the head of the company, he must be the chairman. Below him –
“Which position do you want?”
Tuan Tuanyi was delighted: “Master! I want to be the general manager!”
Wei Xi: “Okay, what about you, Que’er?”
Shuo Zong: “…………”
He faced Wei Tianyi’s indescribable gaze, and couldn’t stand Wei Xi’s serious expression, so he clicked on the Finance Department option.
Wei Tianyi watched the division process of several important departments of Taicang Sect in disbelief. In the end, he was even assigned the position of head of the reception office. He no longer had the heart to mock and walked away with his hands behind his back in amazement – if this company could stay open for two years without going bankrupt, he would twist his head off and kick it like a ball.
….
So the first employee travel activity of Taicang Sect was launched at the call of the three elders.
Uncle Shen was extremely happy when he heard that the Underworld Yamen had awarded his company a certificate. Although the Underworld Yamen could not control whether Taicang Sect joined the CPPCC[1], it was an absolute authority for the ghosts. Compared with this, he felt that joining the CPPCC was much less attractive.
The local City God’s Office also gave the Taicang Clan some official positions. Official positions! Not to mention lonely ghosts, even normally reincarnated ghosts had to take grueling exams to get a civil service position. For ghosts, a civil service position was more than just a safe place in the mortal world. A job meant income, and a civil service position offered guaranteed income regardless of the weather. The work was also glamorous. For better positions, such as the local City God’s Office, even the most junior soul-collectors could earn some gray income after work. Because they held the power to collect souls and organize complaints, they were also quite feared by ordinary ghosts. Who wouldn’t be polite to them? What’s more, after joining the official system, reincarnation also had preferential treatment!
If one day you don’t want to be a ghost anymore, just submit an application to the government office. If your work performance is outstanding, you may even be able to be a rich second-generation person who will never have to worry about food and clothing in your next life!
People often said that these second-generation rich were just the reincarnated official people in the world. However, mortals didn’t know that except for a few of them who had great merits in their previous lives, the rest were basically all monopolized by the regular employees of the City God’s Office in various places.
Uncle Shen had traveled far and wide, and in the past, he started from scratch. He had thus heard a lot of gossip. There was a speculation that the only grandson of a wealthy businessman in the capital who was loved by everyone was the reincarnation of a small leader of the local City God’s Office. The application submitted by that small leader at that time was brilliant. His subordinates had judged nearly a thousand underworld cases, and there was not a single case of wrongful conviction. Then, less than two years after he resigned, the only grandson of the wealthy businessman was born.
Uncle Shen couldn’t help but feel happy when he thought about this. With this sweet benefit, all the unemployed employees in the company would probably take the initiative to work overtime and become programmers in the world in order to become regular employees.
This was such a happy event!
At that moment, the haunted house and the detective agency were all closed. Uncle Shen led hundreds of trainee ghost employees and the old men and women from the mediation team and excitedly prepared to go out.
Wei Xi mentioned the employee outing to Qiu Guokai. The main reason was that the group of newcomers to the agency were also employees of Taicang Sect. Since it was a collective employee expansion, they could not be excluded.
Qiu Guokai didn’t have any objections. The monsters were new to the company, had few resources, and were generally not busy, so going out wouldn’t be a problem. However, thinking about Wei Xi bringing a group of monsters with his employees, he still felt a little worried: “Master Wei, is it okay to bring them along for the company’s employee development? They’re not of the same species. What if they scare your employees again?”
Wei Xi: “No, no.”
Qiu Guokai didn’t dare to persuade him, so after hanging up the phone, he had to remind the wild boar spirit and other spirits to remember to conceal their abnormalities when they went out to play and not show them in front of the employees of Taicang Sect.
If you scare someone and they call the police, we’ll all be doomed once the police arrive!
The monsters had been out for so many days and they all felt that life outside the mountain was indeed more comfortable than inside. Moreover, they all knew what would happen if they were exposed, so they nodded cautiously.
Half an hour later.
The wild boar demon stood stiffly, as his younger brothers and sisters clung to him in fear. He was surrounded by a group of terrifying scapegoats, some with blood all over their faces, some with half a head missing, and some with one eye missing.
The scapegoats looked at them critically: “So these are our colleagues from the branch office?”
“It’s pretty nice.”
“I heard from Manager Shen that they are all going to be stars in the future.”
“Oh my, I’m so envious! Before I died, I actually wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but I wasn’t good-looking enough…”
Wild boar demon: “…”
The squirrel spirit beside him trembled and said, “Pig, Brother Pig, I’m scared.”
Wild Boar said you are scared, and I want to call the police.
