Jiang Jinjiu rested at home for twenty days and lived very leisurely every day.
Eat when you wake up, go out to play when you're full, go home and watch TV when you're full, and eat whatever you want when you're hungry. Until I drank the medicine and went to bed, the day passed comfortably.
On the twenty-first day, Qin Zhenyang ended this beautiful life with a phone call. He was going on a trip.
He couldn't wait any longer. The medicine Gongsun Zhi gave him was to nourish blood, qi and strengthen the kidneys. After making up for these twenty days, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and it seemed that he would not be happy if he did not vent it.
Why did Jiang Jinjiu's courage suddenly swell? That's because someone is supporting him from behind.
It is said that one day he called Gongsun Zhi and explained why he did not want to leave his job for the time being.
Gongsun Zhi didn't give any advice and just said, "Everything depends on fate."
The point is that he said shamelessly, "Mr. Gongsun, I really don't understand supernatural things. If I encounter any difficulties in the future, can I ask you for help?"
As a result, Gongsun Zhi agreed, and his little courage suddenly swelled.
Little did he know that Gongsun Zhi was busy with his affairs and didn't have much time to pay attention to him. It was just because of his "face" that he couldn't bear to refuse.
Moreover, these days, he has watched a lot of domestic and foreign horror movies. Later, he went to the haunted house in the amusement park several times, and felt that his courage was not what it used to be, and he felt very good about himself.
Let’s say that Jiang Jinjiu went to the newspaper office to accept a task, and the information he got was:
The incident took place in an underground parking lot on Bow Lan Street in Mong Kok, Kowloon District, Hong Kong.
Since last month, three paranormal incidents have occurred in the parking lot. The time of the incident is not fixed, but is generally between 00:00 and 3:00.
There were three witnesses. Witnesses No. 1 and 2 gave roughly the same account, saying that they saw a female ghost wearing a red dress wandering around on the second underground floor.
Witness No. 3, Ms. Chen, was seriously injured, with a broken left calf bone and a head injury. She is still recovering in the hospital.
According to Ms. Chen's description, she worked overtime until about 1:30 midnight on the night of the incident. She was so tired that she just wanted to pick up the car and go home quickly.
Her car was parked on the ground floor, and she heard no sound except her own footsteps along the way. So after starting the car, he drove to the exit at a faster speed without restraint.
When she drove to the passage between the second and first floors, a sudden vehicle sped past and used its rear to turn the front of her car.
Ms. Chen was frightened and turned to avoid, and drove along the passage to the second underground floor.
Stopping the car in front of the passage, she suppressed her pounding heart and gradually calmed down.
The cool-down time is about five minutes.
Since she thought the area was not spacious enough and she was afraid that she would not be able to reverse the car, she decided to make a small circle.
When she turned at the first turning point, she saw a long-haired woman wearing a red dress not far away, walking towards the depths of the parking lot.
At that time, she only glanced at it and didn't think much about it, thinking it was someone working overtime like her.
But when she turned the corner and was about to speed up, she heard a faint sound, which sounded like the sound of running in high heels, and it was getting farther and farther away from her.
Afterwards, Ms. Chen realized something was wrong when she recalled it. How could she hear the sound of high heels clicking in the distance in a car with the windows closed?
At that time, she only felt that the voice sounded a little strange, and she naturally thought of the woman she had just seen, wondering if she was in danger.
She couldn't find her figure in the rearview mirror, so she couldn't help but look back, but the sight inside the car was narrow, so she rolled down the window and looked out...
This made the sound clearer and seemed to come from the southwest. There were many vehicles blocking the view, but Ms. Chen still searched carefully.
About three minutes later, Ms. Chen heard the sound of a vehicle driving on the upper floor, and thought that the woman had left through another passage. She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at herself for being too sensitive.
I was about to leave, and when I glanced at the rearview mirror out of habit, I was surprised to see a person lying on the ground! When I looked back, I saw that it was the woman in red!
Her legs seemed to be injured and she couldn't walk. She crawled forward with difficulty on the ground and kept looking back, as if someone was chasing her.
Despite the distance and the woman in red's hair covering her face, Ms. Chen could still feel her fear.
Her first reaction was to call the police, but her cell phone had no signal!
When I looked at the woman again, I found that she could no longer crawl. There are no villains showing up, and the sense of crisis is acceptable. Thinking that she could not save her, Ms. Chen mustered up the courage to reverse the car and drove to the woman. Unexpectedly, when she opened the car door, the woman was gone! Were you there when you parked the car? !
At this time, Miss Chen realized something was wrong and felt panicked. He quickly closed the door and locked it, stepped on the accelerator, and forgot to fasten his seat belt in his haste.
While galloping, she kept looking in the rearview mirror...More than a dozen times, she still couldn't see the woman in red, so she finally felt at ease and focused on looking at the road.
However, I accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car and saw that the woman in red was sitting in the back seat! A gray-white eye covered with black silk was revealed and looking at her!
Ms. Chen screamed in fright and instinctively looked back. Unexpectedly, the woman was gone!
She knew it was a ghost and subconsciously stepped on the accelerator.
But just when she turned her head back, the woman in red stood in front, revealing another white eye staring at her! Those eyes were so cold, it seemed like your whole body would turn to ice if you looked at them for three seconds!
Ms. Chen was so frightened that she swerved and hit a pillar. Because she was not wearing a seat belt, she was seriously injured and fell unconscious on the spot. She was not rescued until security guards heard the noise and came looking for her.
In addition, from the time the land was purchased to the completion of this underground parking lot, not a single bad incident occurred, not even the corpses of stray cats and dogs.
These are the information Qin Zhenyang has in his hands.
Jiang Jinjiu was a little puzzled after reading it and asked, "President Qin, aren't there many masters in Hong Kong? Why did they come to us?"
Qin Zhenyang smiled proudly and said, "The other party is afraid of media exposure, so they can only keep this matter confidential."
"Then..." Jiang Jinjiu was confused.
Qin Zhenyang told him that this weekly mainly protects the interests of businessmen, so why is it poking people's wounds now?
Qin Zhenyang picked up the teacup and said slowly, "You must have been a salesman."
Jiang Jinjiu nodded, "I did."
"Then business won't come to your door, right?" Qin Zhenyang moved the lid of the cup, making a rhythmic sound.
Jiang Jinjiu heard that this well-connected old guy was waiting for him to express his opinion, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, customers are proactively discovered. Regardless of whether the other party needs it or not, they must promote their products."
At this point, he suddenly realized that the weekly magazine requires the source of the story to be authentic. If the owners are unwilling to disclose it, how long will it take for it to be published?
Let’s talk about safeguarding interests. If there is no relationship, what should we safeguard? Of course, we should safeguard our own interests.
He was annoyed that he was not smart, but he thought he had to find a way out.
"But President Qin, if he is exposed to others without their consent, will there be no problem afterwards?"
Qin Zhenyang put down his tea cup and sat upright like a stern teacher, with a rogue-like smile on his face and said, "You don't have to worry about this. What kind of place is Hong Kong? Can this matter still be suppressed? No need." How long will it take for gossip reporters to pick it up and write about it? We are just joining in the fun, and we may be able to help others, so why not?"
Jiang Jinjiu looked as if he was in a daze, but he joked in his heart, "Help me? Help me close the door early."
"Oh! By the way, you are new here and don't know about this matter. I told you before about the reason why the magazine was founded, but I didn't tell you about the popularity it brought. One year after it was founded, do you know what the circulation is? "
"One hundred thousand?"
Qin Zhenyang waved his hand, "The average is five hundred thousand."
"I'm going to kill you! So strong!" Jiang Jinjiu opened his mouth in shock.
He has been in the industry for more than a month, so how could he not know "circulation volume", the main parameter that shows strength in the industry rankings. Back then it was half a million, which was considered a big brother status, but why was it reduced to two hundred thousand?
Before asking, Qin Zhenyang spoke first.
"I think there were so many people at the beginning that it was enough to publish four pages a week. After the incident, it left a bad reputation, and now it is difficult to find people. If it weren't for the many loyal readers and the secret funding of some people, it would have been discontinued long ago. "
Jiang Jinjiu asked curiously, "Who are these people funding?"
Qin Zhenyang smiled mysteriously and said, "There are a lot of people fishing for fame and reputation these days, and there are many ways to do it. Every time it is reported, some people will take the initiative to come to solve the problem. Afterwards, we will definitely report it again and give this victim a chance." Column interview. This person has gained a name, and having a name is equal to fame and fortune. Some bosses like to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it. Want to solve the problem? Okay, spend more money, why do you think those people are willing to do it? Let the newspaper close its doors. I’m not bragging. If you go to see any so-called master with your press card, there will be no one you don’t want to see. You don’t have to ask for help, and you’ll get tipped off. Do you believe it?”
"Believe it! Believe it!" Jiang Jinjiu responded, feeling extremely regretful.
He had never thought that a press card could be like a general's order, commanding thousands of troops. If I had known that I had hired several masters as bodyguards, I would have been injured and hospitalized, and I had to drink bitter medicine soup for nearly a month.
"Well, you go home and prepare now. I remind you, don't be too showy. I'm not afraid of making trouble, but I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss. It's not like here in Hong Kong. If you offend someone, no one will protect you. You have to be careful in everything."
"I know, president, I promise to complete the mission!" Jiang Jinjiu saluted Qin Zhenyang with full of fighting spirit.
Qin Zhenyang smiled and said nothing, and took out the items needed for the mission.
There are press passes, air tickets, cameras, digital camcorders, hotel addresses, maps, faxes of car rental vouchers, etc. After explaining some little things that should be paid attention to, Jiang Jinjiu went home to pack his luggage.
By the way, Jiang Jinjiu was secretly happy when he got the new press card. He was glad that Qin Zhenyang didn't take back the last one from him when he was issued a new press card. Because he lost his last press pass again, and he lost it completely.
He clearly remembered that his ID was in his trouser pocket, but it was missing when the hospital returned his clothes.
The hospital said they had never seen it, and Manager Liu also said he had never seen it. What’s even more strange is that something burned a big hole in the lining of the trouser pocket where the press pass was held, but the surface of the trousers was fine.
In the end, we couldn't figure out the truth, so we had to accept the strange things. There were not many strange things we encountered.
Early the next morning, he boarded the plane to Hong Kong, thinking that he must have a good time there first.
As the saying goes, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but the military orders from abroad will be ignored."
