My heart moved, and I nodded and said, "I understand. I'll be more careful next time I go to the garage."
He grinned in amusement: "Actually, it's nothing, don't be afraid, I just said it casually... In addition, Mr. Liu will divide the areas for us this afternoon, and we may have to go on a business trip in a few days."
The matter was dismissed as soon as we said it, and none of us mentioned it again, so we continued to work hard.
In the afternoon, Mr. Liu called us to a meeting, said he planned to arrange a business trip for us, and also divided the routes and areas for us.
Mr. Liu was my boss. At that time, there were about ten people in our company, and there were only three business people, one accountant, one warehouse manager, four shopping mall salespeople, plus the boss and his wife, and there were no more.
If we add another one, it would be the boss’s ten-year-old son.
After the regions were divided, I saw that I was pretty awesome, and half of Heilongjiang was mine.
And I have been officially promoted to regional manager, so you can start calling me Mr. Wu.
However, I, Mr. Wu, am a bit miserable, because I am the only one in this half of Heilongjiang, and I have no one under me.
I thought about it, isn't this just like in Nanjing? You say you are a manager, but you actually manage it yourself.
According to Zhao Benshan’s words: This old woman will serve as the announcer and singer for this performance...
But that's fine, just be alone. Whoever asked me to have two Guchens in my life may have destined me to be this fate.
Before the official business trip, according to the work requirements, we have to call the following customers one by one to communicate and understand the situation.
I made phone calls honestly all afternoon, feeling a little dizzy, brain bloated, mouth dry, and finally made it to get off work time.
The winter days in Harbin are very short, and it was completely dark at five o'clock in the afternoon. I came out of the company, stepped on the crunching snow under the dim street lights, and breathed in the cold air.
On both sides of the company are old houses that are almost a hundred years old. They look dark. Occasionally, you can find a light on in a window, but most of them are unoccupied.
As Zhang Xiaopang said, the wires in this place are messy and the fire protection is very poor. Fires do happen frequently.
I unconsciously thought of the female ghost during the day. I don’t know when she died. She is still wandering in the world, which is quite pitiful.
Just as I was thinking about it, the boss suddenly drove up from behind and honked the horn as he passed me. I smiled and waved.
Seeing the boss's car driving away, I thought to myself that the female ghost had not followed him, otherwise the few pieces of paper I had burned during the day would have been in vain.
But having said that, I actually feel very uneasy. I always feel that the female ghost will not get into the boss's car for no reason.
Then I took the bus back home. Uncle Ma had already prepared a meal. During the meal, I told him what happened during the day, and then asked him, why do I keep running into ghosts wherever I go and can’t even run away when I go to work? Dropped?
Uncle Ma laughed and said, "You have a ghost-sucking physique. Where are you going?"
I was speechless, I said, why don’t I suck some little girls? I sucked the ghost, that thing is so scary, it’s burnt to a crisp, it’s pitiful, but you can’t come out to scare people.
Uncle Ma said there was no way, there must be some reason why she came out, how about you help her?
I quickly shook my head and said, "Take it off." You won't let me go when you get to work. I'm a good friend of all kinds of ghosts, right?
In fact, since I went to work, I have made up my mind to ignore these things, because I want to change my lifestyle and don't want to deal with these gods and ghosts.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
When I went to work the next day, as soon as I sat down at the company, Zhang Xiaopang told me that Mr. Liu seemed to have something to do and might come over later today.
I asked what was wrong, and he said it seemed that Mr. Liu's child had a fever.
My heart skipped a beat, and I thought to myself that I was really afraid of something. A female ghost appeared in the car just yesterday, and today the child has a fever.
But I couldn't say anything, so I had to pretend I didn't know anything and go to my class honestly.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the boss came to the company. Zhang Xiaopang quickly removed his beard and asked how the child was doing.
The boss frowned and said that the child had a fever in the middle of the night yesterday and it didn't go away. He was under observation at the hospital this morning and it had just gone down a little.
I also pretended to be concerned, and then looked at the boss's face.
The eye sockets are slightly dark, probably because of not getting enough rest, but in my eyes, there is obviously a layer of yin.
Hey, it seems that the female ghost is a bit careless. She even gave her money and made trouble.
In the afternoon, while I had nothing to do, I secretly went to the underground garage and walked around, but I didn't see the female ghost.
This guy probably followed the boss's car to his house.
The day passed in a daze. I went home and told Uncle Ma about the situation, but he didn't care. He said that having a fever is a female ghost's problem, but if you don't want to meddle, then just let him burn.
I said how can I take care of it? Can I tell my boss that I am actually a great immortal and your child is haunted by a female ghost and you have to spend some money to break it?
If things go like this, I will become a popular figure in the company, and I will probably be fired soon.
What boss wants his employees to be immortals? !
Uncle Ma chewed his teeth and said that it was really not good. Besides, you couldn't solve it for him quietly. It was against the rules.
Of course this is against the rules. A great immortal cannot serve people quietly without telling the person who is the victim. Isn't that a disease? !
The next day came in a blink of an eye. I came to the company and saw that the boss hadn't come yet.
I asked Fatty Zhang again, and it turned out that this guy knew everything. He said that Mr. Liu’s child still had a fever. It seemed to be quite serious, and it had reached over 40 degrees Celsius.
I sat down calmly, thought for a while and said to him, "Tell me, could this child have rushed into something?"
Zhang Xiaopang blinked: "You can't be prepared. The day before yesterday, we were saying that the underground garage was spooky, and Mr. Liu's children don't usually come to the company. They just came the day before yesterday, and we even took a car together in the evening."
I chewed my teeth and said, "Why don't you talk to Mr. Liu and find an immortal for your child? Or burn some paper or something and give it a try."
Zhang Xiaopang quickly shook his head when he heard this: "I don't dare to say it. Our landlady doesn't believe this. If I say it, I'm asking for trouble."
In fact, what I said was to test him. If he is willing to say it, I will indirectly help Mr. Liu. After all, I am a newcomer and there are some things that are difficult to say.
As a result, he said that the boss's wife didn't believe this. I couldn't help but secretly feel glad that I didn't say too much. I really shouldn't talk nonsense about these things, otherwise it would offend others.
But if I didn't tell him, the boss's child would be in bad luck. He had a high fever for three days, and finally the hospital issued a critical illness notice.
The boss was so worried that he couldn't care about the company's affairs and rushed to the hospital every day.
On the afternoon of the third day, when it was almost time to get off work, he and the boss's wife came to the company, probably to withdraw money, but they took the money and left in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaopang opened the door for them diligently, and then said something cautiously.
"Mr. Liu, how about... let's check the child's weakness?"
The boss frowned and glanced at the landlady.
The landlady's face was not very good, and she looked at Zhang Xiaopang with disbelief in her eyes.
"Let's talk about it later. I'll go to the hospital to pay the money first."
The boss didn't dare to offend his wife, so he drove away as he spoke.
But just as their car passed by, I clearly saw the female ghost sitting in the back seat of their car.
The female ghost even turned her head to look at me, baring her teeth and showing a scary smile...
