Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The Uninvited Guest

Looking at the manager's face, which was uglier than his dead father's, Zhong Xu lowered his head almost to the table. "Okay, don't say anything. You were late three times in a row this month. I decided to impose a fine of 500 yuan on you. If there is another time, hmph, prepare to hand in your resignation letter!" Zhong Xu felt his head hit hard. on the table. "This old woman is really poisonous!" Zhong Xu returned to his seat with lingering fear, extremely aggrieved. "Have you been recruited again?" Jiang Ting from the same department leaned over and asked in a subdued voice.Zhong Xu nodded weakly: "My LV!!" She really wanted to cry.Jiang Ting patted her on the shoulder: "I understand your feelings, alas, just be careful next time!"

Thinking about how domineering and invincible he was when he was hunting ghosts, and then looking at the situation in front of him, Zhong Xu could do nothing but sigh.Randomly catching a kid with the lowest level and putting it in front of the old woman is enough to cause her to die a thousand times abnormally, yet I have to be angry with this kind of person!Cough, who told them that the sacred duties entrusted to the Zhong family are non-profit? ! Not only does he have no money to collect most of the time for every action, but he also has to reimburse travel expenses by himself. To be honest, Zhong Xu sometimes worries that he will faint in this glorious position due to lack of meals due to financial deficits.So in order to minimize the chances of such occurrences, she put a big "forbearance" on her forehead for the spiritual enjoyment brought by carefully lighting the few banknotes at the end of each month.

Zhong Xu poured a whole glass of cold water down his stomach.At this time, the conversation between Jin Na and He Chun, two talkative women next to him, caught Zhong Xu's attention. "Chang Rui on the opposite side died the day before yesterday!" "Really? Is that building really that evil?" "Isn't it? I heard from Xiao Hu on the other side that this is already the fifth one this year. So I rushed to Li Daxian early yesterday morning to get ten amulets back!" "Oh, we are so close to them, will we also get into something unclean? If I knew it, I wouldn't have moved here! No, I'm going to find Li Daxian too!"

"Who knows where the boss heard that this is a treasure trove, and the rent is twice as high as before! It's been less than half a month since we moved here, don't mess with it, it's too scary!" Zhong Xu regained his energy all of a sudden, and seemed to be busy again.When he came to this area for the first time, Zhong Xu knew it was not a clean place.On the first night of work, she cleaned up all the things that should not exist in this office building.Looking back at the serious appearances of Jin Na and He Chun, Zhong Xu found it very funny.With her around, it is the best amulet.

People who have been in frequent contact with Zhong Xu since childhood have never been prone to contract diseases, let alone encounter things that should not be encountered, including her current colleagues, the old woman is also one of the beneficiaries, not only ungrateful, Instead, kindness will be revenged.She should really be thrown across to feed the ghosts to relieve her hatred! Zhong Xu walked to the window and looked at the Changrui Building opposite. This building is the most luxurious and top-notch office building in the city. It is filled with the most famous large enterprises and consortiums. Many people think they can work in Changrui Building. proud of.The 60-story high-rise stands majestically, facing the thin winter sun, and its bright shell reflects layers of beautiful light.Ant-sized crowds could clearly be seen moving in and out of the building in an endless stream.

In fact, there is no lack of popularity there, but it is very cold.Zhong Xu became curious for no reason. "Zhong Xu! Why are you staring at the window? How long are you going to delay that statistical report?!" The old woman's annoyed soprano voice dragged Zhong Xu back from his meditation to reality. Zhong Xu obediently returned to his seat, pulled over a thick stack of folders, and buried himself in his boring work.However, the nasty old woman still refused to let her go, walked up to her, and slapped her table hard with her hand: "Be careful! I can't spare you if you make any mistakes! You know, you There are 10,000 people waiting in line for the seat!" Zhong Xu didn't even raise his head, thinking that if killing people was not illegal like killing ghosts, she would be the first to kill the old woman.

"Ah, and, later on, you take that pot of precious flowers in my office to the top floor to bask in the sun!" The old woman did not forget to drop a boring sentence when she turned to leave. "But, there is no sun now..." Zhong Xu looked at the gloomy weather outside the window, and said in a low voice, the little sunlight just now had disappeared a few seconds ago.Seeing the cannibalistic gaze cast by the old woman, Zhong Xu swallowed down what he was about to say next.After coming back from the top floor panting, before he had time to rest, Zhong Xu was dragged into the office by the old woman again.

"Tomorrow at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you will go with me to the Fengqi Group in Changrui opposite to do some business. I won't be in the company. You will bring these documents with you!" Following the old woman's finger, Zhong Xu looked at the old woman. The three oversized cardboard boxes next to the filing cabinet gasped.Tired all day and full of resentment, Zhong Xu pushed open the door. "It's so late today?!" Mrs. Zhong poked her head out and asked. "Hmm!" Zhong Xu replied weakly while taking off his shoes.When he walked to the living room, Zhong Xu realized that there were guests at home—Ms. Zhong and a man in a black suit were sitting face to face at a small round table, and two cups of green tea were steaming on the table.Seeing Zhong Xu, the man immediately got up and nodded, and stretched out his hand: "This must be Miss Zhong!" Zhong Xu stretched out his hand in doubt: "Hello, may I ask who you are?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Zhong Xu The old lady was the first to say: "This is Master Shaodong Situ of the Shengtang Group. You must have heard of it. Tsk tsk, he is young and promising. I often see him on TV programs and newspapers and magazines recently..."

"Grandma..." She gave Mrs. Zhong a blank look. She really couldn't bear the excitement and pride in her old man's tone, as if that Shaodong was her own grandson. Even the young master of a rich family doesn't need to flatter him like that, right? . "Mrs. Zhong is overrated. The word "young master" can be omitted, just call me Situ Yuebo, or Situ is also fine." Situ Yuebo smiled slightly, raised his hand gracefully, and motioned for everyone to sit down.After Zhong Xu sat down, he couldn't help but look at the man in front of him.The expression on this man's face was always peaceful and natural, but every move of his hands and every gesture of his feet revealed the aura of a wealthy family, noble and compelling but not vulgar.Looking at him, Zhong Xu immediately reflexively thought of the arrogant bear of the boss of his company.He is also a high-level figure in the business world, that guy, compared with this Situ Yuebo, he can see whether he is superior or inferior.

"This presumptuous visit is mainly for my father." Situ Yuebo said, and his brows were also furrowed. "Your father?" Zhong Xu made a gesture of wanting to hear more about it. Situ Yuebo sighed and said: "Father recently, recently..." He paused for a long time before continuing: "I have encountered something unclean, although I personally think it seems absurd, but we have tried a lot The method doesn't work at all, and now the old man is bedridden, we are really desperate, so..." "So you found us?" Zhong Xu took his lead, "However, I'm really curious, why do you think we can help you? Also, what do you mean by absurdity? I don't think there is such a thing in this world. Is there something unclean? Or do you think it's ridiculous to ask some people to crouch and exorcise ghosts?"

"Xu'er! What are you talking about?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Zhong stomped on her foot and reprimanded her in a low voice. "Ouch! Grandma, you..." Zhong Xu almost jumped up in pain. "Master Situ, please don't mind, my granddaughter never talks through her head." Mrs. Zhong smiled all over her face, "Oh, the tea is cold, I'll make another pot, you guys talk slowly. " Mrs. Zhong got up and walked to the kitchen. Before she left, she still gave Zhong Xu a terrible look of "I won't give you food if you don't have a correct attitude". "Hehe." Situ Yuebo smiled and said sincerely: "Miss Zhong, don't get me wrong. I absolutely don't mean to mock or slander. I have lived abroad since I was a child, and I only returned to China three months ago to help my father manage the group. To be honest, I have always been an atheist before, if I accidentally offended Ms. Zhong just now, I apologize." After hearing this reasonable explanation, Zhong Xu felt rather embarrassed: "Ah... sorry, I misunderstood just now. Well, regarding your father's situation, can you tell me the ins and outs in detail?" "About a month ago, my father moved the headquarters of the group into Changrui Building. The strange things started on the day we officially entered Changrui. According to the description of my father's assistant at the time, he and my father dealt with business until midnight that night, and they were the last to leave. People from the company. When they took the elevator to leave, it clearly showed that the elevator went down to the first floor, but every time they opened the door, they were still on the 22nd floor. After trying several times in a row, they had to take the stairs because they were uneasy. left." "Afterwards, strange things happened one after another. First, a female employee of the company fainted in the bathroom for no reason. Later, another employee was attacked by an unknown object in the corridor. Fortunately, he was discovered early, otherwise the doctor said he would definitely lose blood and die. In the end Strangely enough, one of the supervisors of the computer department became behaving strangely overnight, and last week...he hanged himself in his office." "Wait first!" Zhong Xu interrupted him, "It's only been less than a month, so many things have happened in your place, dead and injured, why didn't it arouse any disturbance in the outside world?" "If the prosperous Tang Dynasty wanted to block the news, no one in this city would dare to speak." Situ Yuebo's tone was extremely flat, but it made people believe it. "Oh... that's it?!" Zhong Xu was stunned, the man in front of him had a hidden deterrent power. "please continue!" "Half a month ago, my father's spirit became worse and worse. At first, he just had nightmares at night. Everyone thought it was caused by his daily overwork. He consulted a doctor and took some sedative drugs, but it didn't work. Later, the situation became more and more serious. My father was not only haunted by nightmares every night, but also talked nonsense from time to time during the day. Sometimes he said that someone had strangled his neck, and sometimes he yelled in the mirror that his head was missing. What surprised us most was that For a few days, various bruises and strange scars appeared on my father's body for no reason. Even the best doctors were helpless. Some elderly people in the family reminded our father that he might have encountered something unclean. That's why I took the liberty to implore Madam Zhong and Miss Zhong, please help me save my father no matter what." Situ Yuebo's eyes caught a faint glimmer of water, "As a child, look at Father's painful appearance...I'm really sad..." It's unimaginable that such a man who is always surrounded by flashing lights, as proud and dazzling as the sun, would have such a fragile expression, and at this time he is so sincerely begging for her help. In an instant, Zhong Xu felt himself great.She couldn't find a reason to reject this man, not to mention that it was her duty to catch ghosts. "Mr. Situ, don't worry, don't worry, I'll take care of your father's affairs!" Zhong Xu said word by word. "Really?" Situ Yuebo saw great hope on his face. "Of course, I will do what Zhong Xu promised!" She gave him a bright smile, "However, I'm really curious, how did you know that you came to see us? Don't tell me you are Check the yellow pages to find our family." "Yellow Pages?" Situ Yuebo was taken aback, then smiled: "Miss Zhong was joking, in fact, this can only be said to be the fate of our Situ family and the fate between you and me. Does Miss Zhong have a middle school classmate named Jiang?" Enron?" "Jiang Anran?" Zhong Xu thought carefully and clapped his hands, "Ah! That's right! When we were in middle school, we were tablemates for three years! Our relationship was pretty good, but after graduating from middle school, I heard that she followed her. My parents went abroad and have lost contact since then!" "It just so happened that my younger brother happened to be a classmate of her in college. Her father had business contacts with us in the Tang Dynasty, and occasionally visited each other. A few days ago, she happened to come back from abroad. After learning about my father's recent situation, she She told us to come to you and said that you would definitely help us. Originally, she was going to come with me today, but she was temporarily called back to Ottawa by her parents to deal with some urgent matters. Otherwise, you old classmates could still get together." "Haha, so that's the case. We haven't seen this Jiang Anran for almost ten years." Zhong Xu laughed. Speaking of this old classmate, she wanted to forget it, and she couldn't forget it. Apart from Mrs. Zhong and the relatives of the Zhong family, Jiang Anran was probably the only one who knew Zhong Xu's extraordinary side over the years. Her life, but there was an accident at the time, and Jiang Anran witnessed the whole process of her subduing the ghost, and the girl was so frightened that she passed out.Later, Zhong Xu made an agreement with her half-begging and half-threatening not to let out everything he saw at that time, and Jiang Anran must keep her supernatural ability secret.It seems that God's arrangement is really unexpected, a mistake back then actually created a fate between Situ Yuebo and her Zhong Xu. "Did she say anything else besides telling you to come to me?" "No, I just said that if you don't ask, don't mention her name. She seems to be quite afraid of Miss Zhong." Zhong Xu raised his eyebrows: "Of course she is afraid of me, because she did not keep our agreement! If I have a chance to see her in the future, I will settle accounts with her." Seeing Situ Yuebo's bewildered face, Zhong Xu patted the table carelessly: "Okay, let's not talk about anything else, I'm going to work in Changrui tomorrow, so I can just visit your father's company." "Really? That's great. What time will it be tomorrow? I'll send someone to pick up Miss Zhong." Situ Yuebo asked anxiously as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Why don't you send someone to help me move that old woman's oversized file box? ! Zhong Xu really wanted to say that, but then he thought about it, how could he see the miserable image of himself being tortured?The image of a heroine who worked so hard to build up in front of this prince cannot be destroyed so quickly. She shook her head and said, "You don't need to pick me up. I can go to your company directly after finishing the work. It will be around four o'clock in the afternoon. Just wait for me at your site!" Situ Yuebo regained his original elegance and calmness, and said, "Then I will wait for Miss Zhong to drive!" As soon as the words finished, Situ Yuebo stood up: "In that case, I'll take my leave first, I'm really bothering you today." "Hey, Master Situ is busy leaving right now? Why don't you stay for a light meal?" Mrs. Zhong popped up at some point, smiling brighter than Hua'er. "Thank you Mrs. Zhong for your kindness. This junior still has some things to deal with." Situ Yuebo took out a small piece of paper from his briefcase as he spoke, and handed it to Mrs. Zhong respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, junior." Madame and Miss Zhong are willing to help." Mrs. Zhong stretched out her hand to take it without even thinking about it. She glanced at it from the corner of her eye without showing any trace, and immediately showed the expression of seeing the angel. "Haha, Master Situ is too polite. Your business is our business. You can rest assured that your father will survive this catastrophe!" Mrs. Zhong's voice was at least 20 years younger. Situ Yuebo's smile was a little stiff. Zhong Xu opened his mouth wide and looked at his grandma... "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you send Master Situ off? What an ignorant girl!" Mrs. Zhong gave her a blank look and pushed her towards the door. When the two of them went downstairs, Mrs. Zhong did not forget to stick her head out and shout loudly: "Master Situ will come to play often when he has time!" sweat…… Situ Yuebo's white BMW sports car was parked under the ginkgo tree not far to the right of the gate, causing passers-by to look sideways. A good car is a good car. Zhong Xu's mouth is watering. There were many people looking at the car, but there were even more people looking at people. The passing sisters, sisters, sisters-in-law and aunts would not forget to give the man beside Zhong Xu a hot glance from the bottom of their hearts. Gu Gao, I'm afraid they will rush over to ask him to take a photo and sign for a phone number.Zhong Xu thought it was funny for no reason, so he quietly looked sideways at him again, hehe, having such an excellent man in the world is a gift from the Creator. Taking all aspects into consideration, Zhong Xu gave Situ Yuebo a high score. She suddenly wanted to inform Jiang Anran that Master Zhong Xu decided to let go of the account of her leaking the secret regardless of the villain. In fact, she still wanted to treat her to a meal to show her gratitude. Will have any intersection with Situ Yuebo. Looking at Zhong Xu who lowered his head and smirked, Situ Yuebo asked in puzzlement, "What are you laughing at?" "Ah?! Oh, I, I didn't laugh at anything, wow, your car is so beautiful!" Zhong Xu blushed, and immediately pointed to his car to save himself. While talking, a motorcycle rushed out from the corner in front and rushed straight towards them. Zhong Xu was about to pull Situ Yuebo aside by reflex, but who knew that this daredevil suddenly came within two feet of them. Meters away, I fell with my face facing the loess and my back facing the sky. The motorcycle slid to the side, and the unlucky driver screamed incessantly.Seeing this, Zhong Xu and the others hurried forward to see if the driver was doing well. Taking a closer look, this kid is so bold that he doesn't wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle! Zhong Xu bent over and asked, "Are you okay?" "Grandma, try falling off the motorcycle to see if it's okay?" the driver yelled angrily and tried to turn over and sit up. The voice was so familiar, Zhong Xu turned over and took a closer look, his eyes immediately widened: "Ah?! Zhong Qing? Why is it you?" Hearing the words, the people on the ground quickly lifted up their messy hair in front of their eyes to take a closer look, and shouted in surprise: "Sister?! Is it you?!" "You are siblings?" Situ Yuebo was taken aback. "Yes!" Zhong Xu responded to him while reaching out to help Zhong Qing up: "Is it serious? Can you still stand up?" "I probably hurt my butt..." Zhong Qing grinned and stood up reluctantly, rubbing the injured part non-stop. Zhong Xu's complexion changed, and he shouted: "Aren't you tired of life, you son of a bitch? Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough and you still don't wear a helmet. Think you are Jackie Chan or Jet Li. If you want to die, don't drag others down! I know you just now Almost sent me to report to God? Your sister, I am the sun in the morning of the Mood for Love, you are so abhorrent and irresponsible for doing this!! Strangle you son of a bitch!" Zhong Xu's lips and tongue were comparable to AK47 at this time, while firing, he still stretched out his claws and pinched Zhong Qing's ears hard. "Ouch, sister, please forgive me, this, this is on the street, how many people are watching it, please save me some face..." Zhong Qing stamped her feet while desperately covering her ears with her hands, begging for mercy teary. "Hmph!" Zhong Xu let go, poked his forehead and asked loudly: "You son of a bitch, why didn't you notify us in advance when you returned to China?! Your parents knew you were back, mother? Or did you run away from home again? Tell me the truth!" "It was my dad who asked me to come back to find grandma and you! I didn't run away from home!" Zhong Qing argued aggrievedly, rubbing her red ears. "They asked you to come back to me?! Why?" Zhong Xu wondered why his second uncle, who had lived abroad for 10 years, would suddenly send his only son back to China.By the way, the aforementioned bad guy who insisted on catching ghosts with Zhong Xu many years ago but almost became the food of ghosts is exactly the cousin of Zhong Qing in front of him. Since his parents went to live in Greece when he was 10 years old , He has been living in Zhong Xu's house and was raised by Mrs. Zhong until he graduated from high school before flying to reunite with his parents.Counting that Zhong Xu hadn't seen him for two full years, but he never expected to reunite with him in such a situation today. "Sister, anyway, I just flew back from the European continent yesterday, and I suffered such a serious injury today, let's go home first and let me rest for a while, can you come to question me again?" Zhong Qing pitifully forgot about Zhong Xu . "Yes, Ms. Zhong, it seems that your brother's current condition is really not very good. Is it better for me to send you to the hospital for a checkup first?" Situ Yuebo, who had been a transparent person for more than ten minutes, looked at the clock Xu asked. ah? !Zhong Xu was taken aback. She almost forgot that there was Situ Yuebo beside her just now. At this moment, she only hoped that her behavior just now would not scare him. She immediately put on a pleasant expression and said to Situ Yuebo: "Haha, well, you don't need to go to the hospital. My younger brother has been raised rough since he was a child, and he is in good health. Such a little injury is nothing at all." "I'm in good condition. What are you doing?! I've hated the smell of formalin since I was a child. No one goes to that place. The living people are fumigated to death by you. You... "Before Zhong Qing finished speaking, she began to scream again. While twisting Zhong Qing's ear, he smiled apologetically at Situ Yuebo: "I'm sorry, my younger brother has no education and speaks without thinking. Don't be as knowledgeable as him, just think he has food poisoning and talk nonsense." "Hehe, you siblings are really..." Situ Yuebo shook his head and smiled, then he raised his hand and looked at his watch, his expression tightened: "Ah?! It's almost half past six?!" "You're in a hurry, right? Let's go now, I'm sorry to waste your time." Zhong Xu said hastily upon seeing this. "I'm sorry, I still have an important appointment, so I'll go first! See you tomorrow!" Situ Yuebo smiled apologetically at Zhong Xu, and then walked towards his car at a faster pace. The BMW started slowly, turned around and drove toward Zhong Xu and the others. When passing by Zhong Xu, Situ Yuebo stopped the car, turned sideways and said to Zhong Xu, "I'll leave everything to Miss Zhong." "No problem, see you tomorrow! BYE!" Zhong Xu took a step forward and waved to him loudly. Only then did Situ Yuebo drive away satisfied, and soon disappeared from Zhong Xu's sight. "Who is this kid? Drive a BMW around, where is Xianbao?" Zhong Qing looked at the direction where the BMW disappeared and blurted out. "You kid has a bad mouth. If I knew it, I would have let ghosts eat you. It's my ears. Let's go, go home, and look at your refugee face. Where did you do such a thing?" It’s a broken car, you’re lucky if you didn’t fall to your death.” Zhong Xu angrily grabbed Zhong Qing and went home. Mrs. Zhong held Zhong Qing in her arms and wailed for half an hour, scolding her second son, who killed a thousand swords, for taking so long to let her grandson come back to see her.It wasn't until the tears and snot drenched all the clothes on Zhong Qing's back that Mrs. Zhong let go of her hands sobbingly. "Don't say anything, go and wash yourself first, grandma will cook for you, look at this poor thing, they can't eat good food from foreigners." Mrs. Zhong patted Zhong Qing's head, Then he wiped away his tears and walked to the kitchen. "How come her old man has never been so kind to me?" Zhong Xu curled his lips. Zhong Qing looked at her expensive coat and wanted to cry... "Tell me, why did Second Uncle suddenly ask you to come back to us?" Zhong Xu stuffed a biscuit into his mouth and asked while chewing. "Who knows?!" Zhong Qing also grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and replied carelessly: "The other day, she suddenly threw the ticket in front of me, saying that I have lived for more than 20 years and even the most superficial ability of the Zhong family I haven’t learned anything yet, so hurry up and go back to your cousin to learn some real skills while the school is on holiday, so as not to dishonor the Zhong family’s reputation. So, I’m back!” "Really?" Zhong Xu looked at him suspiciously. She was very familiar with this cousin. Although his skill in catching ghosts was so bad that the Zhong family wanted to expel him countless times, but if he was allowed to specialize in If he lied and cheated the course, he would definitely get the title of professor. "Of course it's true! I wouldn't dare to lie to you, big sister!" Zhong Qing stuffed another biscuit. Zhong Xu basically believed this sentence, she knew that Zhong Qing was afraid of her cousin.In addition, she also knows that her second uncle and the second aunt who claims to have the noble blood of a Nordic protoss magician have always acted extremely arrogant and weird. She remembers that they were arguing with the landlord about how much the utility bills should increase next month. The next day, they left their sons who were less than ten years old and both disappeared. It was not until seven years later that they suddenly called Mrs. Zhong and said that they had settled in Greece now, and they would take their sons over next year. .At that time, Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and yelled into the microphone that it would be better to raise a pig than having a son, and she disappeared without any conscience, which caused her to worry for so many years!There is also Zhong Xu's parents, they are not much better. Five years ago, they suddenly wanted to try the authentic mapo tofu, so the couple booked two one-way tickets and went out holding hands and kissing each other. Far away, in the past few years, they have only occasionally sent two emails back to report where they ate and what delicious food. In the past year, they didn't even bother to send emails.There is also a little uncle, although he lives in this city, but he loves money like his life, but he has to run around for his own business for many years, and he does not see each other all year round.Every time she mentioned any one of her three sons, Mrs. Zhong would itch with hatred. Zhong Xu took out a tissue, wiped his hands and said, "I believe you. Well, let's go to bed early after dinner. I have something to do tomorrow, and I may come back late. The glorious task of cleaning the house will be entrusted to you." ! Remember to clean it up, especially the room you used to live in, don't let me see a kennel!!!" "You have something to do?!" Zhong Qing's eyes lit up, she straightened up and grabbed Zhong Xu's hand: "Sister, is there another 'work' to do? I want to go too!" "Fuck you, I'm going to work, what do you think I'm doing?" Zhong Xu shook off his paw impatiently. Unwillingly, Zhong Qing grabbed her again: "I know that every time you say you want to do something, you just do the 'work'!! I don't care, I must go with you!!!!" "You!" Zhong Xu raised his eyebrows and knocked him down on the sofa with a punch. "Oh, I see!" Zhong Qing covered one of her eyes and pointed at Zhong Xu and said loudly, "You must be helping that BMW just now, right? You're afraid that I'll be a light bulb, right?!" "I'll strangle you son of a bitch!!" Zhong Xu rushed forward to pinch Zhong Qing's neck, and the two of them huddled together on the sofa. "What are you two doing?" Mrs. Zhong rushed out of the kitchen when she heard the movement, and rescued Zhong Qing from Zhong Xu's clutches while yelling. Looking at the grandson who was coughing non-stop while protecting his neck, Mrs. Zhong shook her head and said to Zhong Xu: "Forget it, forget it, you can take him with you tomorrow, and teach him a good lesson!" "Grandma, you..." Zhong Xu recalled Zhong Qing's embarrassing incident back then, even if she was killed, she was unwilling to go to the battlefield with such a big burden. "Okay, okay, it's settled, don't think so badly about Qingqing, he has grown up now! After all, he shed blood from the Zhong family, no problem!" Mrs. Zhong called Duan Zhongxu, "What's more, you are no longer the same as before!" "Yeah, sister, I'm different now, I also want to test whether my ability is really as good as my dad and the others said! Take me there!!!!" Zhong Qing ignored the whole body The scar, grabbed Zhong Xu's arm and shook it desperately, begging with tears, almost kneeling for her. "Oh, okay, okay, but you have to promise me that everything will be completely obeyed by me when the time comes!!!" She was forced to surrender. Zhong Qing vigorously wiped away her tears and snot and nodded her head like pounding garlic. "Okay, okay, enough trouble, go wash your hands and prepare to eat!" Mrs. Zhong turned and walked to the kitchen. By the way, Zhong Xu suddenly remembered something. She chased Mrs. Zhong in a few steps, and asked with a dark face, "What happened to that check today?" "Ah?!" Mrs. Zhong was stunned, and then smiled: "Well, this... oh, why did I suddenly have a stomachache, I'll go to the toilet first, you guys bring out the dishes and eat first, don't worry about me! The old man is constipated!" Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhong had already bypassed Zhong Xu and rushed into the bathroom, closing the door with a bang. "You!!!" Zhong Xu jumped and shouted towards the bathroom: "How much black money did you collect behind my back? It's too much!!! You, you...give me my share!!!!" It was Saturday, and the dry north wind blew unceremoniously, and there were many fewer people entering and leaving Changrui than usual.Standing outside, Zhong Xu rubbed his hands that were about to freeze, while looking up at the seemingly invisible behemoth thoughtfully. "Old sister~~you...can you come to pay your respects later???" Zhong Qing, who was behind her, poked out her sweaty head from behind three large cardboard boxes, reminded in a low voice. Zhong Xu came back to his senses, frowned, turned around and cursed: "I eat more than anyone else, and I eat more food than anyone else, what a waste of the Zhong family's food! Come in with me!" "Being a coolie for you and scolding me for wasting food?! It's really unreasonable." Zhong Qing muttered as she followed Zhong Xu into Changrui. When they got to the elevator, Zhong Xu asked Zhong Qing to put down the cardboard box, and said, "Just wait for me in the lobby, and I'll call you after I finish my business. Then you can just go up to the 22nd floor, understand?!" Zhong Qing nodded: "Don't make me wait too long, I can't wait!" After finishing speaking, he sniffed, looked around, and said mysteriously: "Hmph, according to the Zhong family's ancestral Intuition, this place... is not simple!" Zhong Xu knocked him hard on the head, and shouted in a low voice: "Stop yelling here! How dare you mention the Zhong family's ancestral intuition? Don't forget your glorious history! Remember, stay in the lobby , you are not allowed to go anywhere without my order!! Otherwise I will kill you!" "It hurts~~ I know it!!" Zhong Qing covered her head aggrievedly and walked towards the rest area in the lobby. This place is indeed as Zhong Qing said - it's not simple, Zhong Xu already felt it when he was still outside just now.What's so unusual? !She couldn't tell, it wasn't that kind of pure yin or evil spirit here, but also some unknown elements that even Zhong Xu couldn't see clearly at the moment.A sense of oppression spread in her heart from the moment she stepped here... Ding~~ The elevator arrived, she took a deep breath, moved the cardboard box in, and then pressed 20F to go straight to Fengqi Group. "What did you do?? You said it was three o'clock, and now it's been two minutes!" The old woman almost stretched out her old hand wearing the watch to Zhong Xu's face. "The quality of the current employees is too poor. They only take money without doing anything, and they don't even have the minimum concept of time! I think it is necessary to have training!" This is the voice of the boss, a bald short man in his 50s, always It's half-baked Mandarin. The boss is here too? !Today's luck is really good, black and white impermanence actually showed up. "I'm sorry! There's a traffic jam today!" Zhong Xu bowed his head in apology and cursed black and white impermanence a hundred times in his heart with the most vicious language. "Hmph, I'll settle the score with you when I go back. Hurry up and move the things in, I'll have to stand here with the general manager and wait for you for a long time!" After throwing down this sentence angrily, the old woman turned around and changed into a smiley expression, and said to the boss in a coquettish voice: "Mr. He, let's go in quickly, Jack is still waiting for us! Don't follow this The girl is generally familiar with it." Feeling angry, Zhong Xu moved the documents into Fengqi's conference room with great difficulty. "Well, today's negotiation is very important, you stay here to make a record. After you're done, send all the documents back to the company! Don't miss anything!" The boss said to Zhong Xu who had just distributed the documents with his usual domineering airs. "Ah?! Oh! Okay, okay." This bald man made it clear that he wanted her to be a voluntary coolie, not only sending her but also paying her back.Leaving aside other things, Zhong Xu was only worried that she would not be able to make the appointment on time. "You still look reluctant? You know? This is the leader's trust in you. Ordinary people, we will never let him participate. This is a high-level secret of the company!" The old woman saw through Zhong Xu's mind and squinted. Glancing at her, she looked like a proprietress. No matter how her voice sounded, Zhong Xu felt disgusted, alas, sometimes, people are much more hateful than ghosts. The boring and lengthy negotiation has lasted for nearly two hours. The most terrible thing is that this is a meaningless negotiation. confidential? ! Zhong Xu secretly took out his mobile phone to check the time, the time agreed with Situ Yuebo had already passed, and he couldn't help feeling anxious. "Forget it, I think both of us should think about it again, your company's sincerity seems not enough!" The boss slapped the table angrily and stood up, saying loudly: "Let's go!" Just these three words Zhong Xu sounds the most pleasing to the ear! The boss and the old woman walked out the door one after the other, Zhong Xu quickly packed up the documents and followed them and left. The few people on the other side looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. After coming out of the well-heated room, Zhong Xu couldn't help shivering due to the chill that hit his face. It is already past five o'clock in the afternoon. When I was in the conference room just now, I saw that the sky outside was already dark. The winter days in this city are extremely short, and it is usually completely dark after 5:30. There are not many people on the 20th floor at this time. Most companies are on vacation, and the few companies that work as usual are also off work.There were only the three of them in the entire passage, the old woman and the bald man were still chattering about the negotiation just now, and at the same time cursing each other for not knowing what was good or bad for their lack of foresight. Zhong Xu only hoped that these two plague gods would leave quickly so that she could complete her task quickly. After entering the elevator and pressing 1F, the old woman turned her head and said to Zhong Xu: "Come back to the company with us later, and sort out today's negotiation content and give it to me!" What?Zhong Xu thought they would not return to the company.Alas, this pair of rotten people!Looks like I have to miss my appointment today. "Oh, yes." Zhong Xu replied dejectedly. "Look at it, it's this face when you ask you to do something!!" The old woman didn't let go of Zhong Xu's every expression and tone that she thought was "unqualified". Zhong Xu wanted to sew up the old woman's mouth with a needle. The elevator descended smoothly and rapidly. Ding~~The first floor is here. The elevator door opened slowly, and the old woman and the others were about to step out, but they were suddenly unable to move as if they were glued together by super glue. Zhong Xu poked his head in surprise, and hey, the floor sign at the door clearly read: 20F. Are they standing still?But just now I clearly felt that the elevator was running normally! Zhong Xu secretly smiled... After the old woman and the bald man looked at each other N times, the bald man regained his composure. He is indeed a person who rolls in the business field. What scene has he not seen? !He immediately suppressed the flash of panic, put on his usual aloof posture, stretched out his hand and pressed 1F again, and said disdainfully: "Even the elevator is a second-rate product, so what is it? office building, I pooh." The elevator doors were closed, and the speed at which it was sliding could still be clearly felt. Ding~~~~ It's here again. The old woman cleared her throat and straightened her clothes unnaturally.The bald man didn't say a word, but his face was much uglier than before. Zhong Xu was thinking, with the hard work of the two volunteer broadcasters in the company, they must have heard about what happened to Changrui. The elevator door opened again, and Zhong Xu only heard a piercing scream from the old woman, while the bald man was still steady, without any exaggerated movements, only cold sweat fell one by one from his broad forehead Come. You don't need to look at Zhong Xu to know what's going on. "How did this happen?! Ah?! How did this happen?!" The old woman couldn't hold back anymore, she pressed 1F crazily, and the elevator door closed and then opened, repeating no less than 8 times.And every time the elevator door opened it was a devastating blow to the old woman and the bald man. Zhong Xu held back his laughter and stood behind them happily watching their ugly behavior. "What should I do?" The old woman had already collapsed on the ground, looking at the bald head feebly. The condition of the bald head is not much better than that of the old woman at this time, but the last trace of a man's dignity is supporting his feet not to soften, he turned his head to look at Zhong Xu. "How could it... be... like this?! Boss, I... I... I'm so scared!!!" Zhong Xu deliberately pretended to be slurred and trembling when she saw this. In fact, she was also an actress. potential. "What should I do??" The old woman could only say these three words now. "How about... let's take the stairs?!" Zhong Xu suggested in a low voice. The old woman got up on hands and feet, and immediately echoed: "Yes, let's leave this elevator quickly." "Well, then let's go!" Zhong Xu threw the document away, and rushed out of the elevator towards the stairwell. "Hey! Don't go so fast, wait for us!" At this moment, the two old guys realized that one more person and one more strength is the truth, and they threw off their old legs and chased after Zhong Xu. It's a pity that they turned no less than ten times, but they couldn't find the stairwell. No matter how they went around, they would eventually return to the elevator door.And every time they make a circle, one of the companies on both sides of the passage will disappear, and they go around, and the whole passage becomes a bare wall-like building. The bald man and the old woman were completely dumbfounded... While watching their jokes, Zhong Xu was also thinking about countermeasures.According to her judgment, there is not just one, but a group of "things", but these "things" have no evil spirit, and they should be just low-level groups that love to play tricks. Individually, they have no effect on human beings, but once gathered Together, their "Qi" will be greatly enhanced, strong enough to affect people's vision and sense.Although all of this is just an illusion, if you stay in it for a long time, this illusion will give birth to what you fear most at any time. Ordinary people who don't know the truth will collapse because of this, and may even lose their lives in serious cases, so it's better not to be careless. The bald head had completely collapsed into a pile of mud at this time, and he sat down against the wall, looking at everything in front of him in despair.The old woman was next to him, and she didn't even have the strength to hysterically. Zhong Xu stood not far from them, thinking about how to solve the current problem without letting the two of them discover her ability. She closed her eyes slightly, concentrated her thoughts, and quickly wrote the word "broken" in the palm of her left hand with her right hand, then folded her hands together and then suddenly separated them to push forward. The passage in front of her was split in two like torn paper Afterwards, it twisted continuously, and finally gradually disappeared into nothingness. Zhong Xu blinked and looked around. The three of them had actually been in the elevator without any movement, and the elevator was still on the 20th floor.Looking back, the bald man and the old woman were sitting close together with their backs against the wall, staring blankly at each other. Seeing this scene, Zhong Xu stomped his feet and said, "It's broken!" Just now, I was only focused on breaking this illusion, ignoring that the two poor people beside me could not get rid of the illusion without the help of others. The spell I cast just now could only bring me back to reality easily.What's worse is that the space and time in the illusion are completely different from reality. One minute in reality may be enough to make people trapped in the illusion feel that they have spent a year or even a lifetime.If they are not dragged out again, their lives may be in danger. Although I had wanted to strangle this pair of demons countless times before, but that was just thinking about it. Although these two people's personalities are extremely low, they can still be punished without death, so no matter from the most basic humanitarianism or Starting from their Zhong family's family motto of descending ghosts and saving people, Zhong Xu must take action to rescue them. The bald head and the old woman didn't realize that Zhong Xu had actually left, because in their view, she was still less than two meters away from them, curled up against the wall trembling like chaff. That's the reaction a small employee should have in this situation. At this time, the bald man suddenly saw a person appearing in front of him. Taking a closer look, isn't that Jack, Fengqi's vice president who was negotiating with him just now?why did he come here? "Look, it's Jack!" The bald man poked the old woman vigorously, pointing to the other side and said in surprise. Jack walked towards them slowly, holding a lockbox in his hand, stopped three or four meters away from them, smiled and waved to the bald man, then lifted the lockbox and shook it a few times, strangely Yes, I didn't see him speak, but the bald man clearly heard him shouting at him: "Hey~~ come here, here is what you want, come here~~" With a thought, the bald man stood up and walked towards Jack involuntarily. The old woman shrank back in horror, and tried her best to distance herself from the bald head, because she didn't see anyone else except the two of them and that "Zhong Xu". The bald man had already walked up to that Jack, and asked hesitantly, "Why are you here? Are you here to take us out?" Jack smiled: "I'll bring you what you want the most! Come and have a look." He slowly opened the box and placed it in front of the bald man. The bald man's eyes lit up, and in front of him was a whole box of diamonds that couldn't be more perfect! ! ! Yes, the bald man has an inherent super possessive desire for these stones. He dreams of owning all the diamonds in the world one day, wishing to replace all the quilts covered with diamonds.It's a pity that his property is missing a few zeros, so he can't achieve his ideal.I can only collect a few unremarkable second-hand goods to chat about masturbation. Now, the bald man believes his dream has finally come true. Without batting an eye, he snatched the box from the other party and put it on the ground in front of him. He squatted down and fondled these shiny little things greedily, wishing to swallow them in one gulp. Those two thick Fat hands are swimming happily and excitedly among the diamond piles like fish... Suddenly, being bald felt a little wrong. His hand seems to be stuck in this pile of diamonds? ! He pulled out his hand vigorously, but he couldn't move at all as if it was stuck.He panicked and looked up to Jack in front of him for help: "Jack, hurry up, help me, I can't get my hands out!!!" "What? You can't get it out of your hand?" Jack asked back in surprise, and then gave the bald man the most friendly smile: "Don't you like diamonds? Then you will be with them for the rest of your life, forever and ever, and never separate! How wonderful! Hahahahahaha!!" "You, you..." The bald man tried in vain to take out his hand, and at the same time wanted to stand up and run away from this "Jack". He was able to maintain the posture he had just squatted in front of "Jack" whose laughter was getting louder and weirder. "Jack" gradually stopped his own laughter, squatted down, and slowly moved his face in front of the bald man, still smiling. At this moment, the bald man could only desperately turn his head to one side, avoiding the face that was getting closer and closer to him. "Jack" attached to the bald man's ear, and said softly: "Do you know how these diamonds come from? Hehe, every time I eat a person, I will feel very sad, so I will shed a tear, and every tear will end up will become these beautiful stones." The bald man wanted to faint, but he couldn't even faint now. Hahahahahahaha~~~"Jack" started to laugh again, his mouth was getting bigger and bigger, like a python that has taken off its jaw bone, its tongue was getting longer and its teeth were becoming extremely sharp, a smell of smoke The stench of human beings hit his face, his eyeballs suddenly swelled and protruded from their sockets, and streaks of blood instantly filled them. "Monster... save... life..." Baldhead squeezed out four ambiguous words from between his teeth. call-- The monster leaped forward and swallowed the head of the prey in front of it in one gulp... The old woman not far away looked at the bald man squatting there with his back facing her strangely. Why did he squat there without any movement? ! She was about to let Zhong Xu go up to take a look, but when she turned her head, Zhong Xu, who was still crouching by the wall just now, had disappeared. She couldn't care less about pursuing Zhong Xu's whereabouts anymore, so the old woman could only pluck up her courage and move towards the bald head tremblingly.When she was one foot behind him, the old woman stopped, tentatively stretched out her hand to pat the bald man's shoulder, and at the same time shouted: "He... Boss, what's wrong with you?" As soon as her hands touched the bald head's body, it was like a thing made of sand, and the bald head fell apart with a clatter, scattered into bloody pieces on the ground. The old woman covered her face and backed away screaming again and again. But the fragments on the ground moved slowly, gathered together, and gradually formed a new object. The old woman looked out between her fingers, my God, what did she see?That group of fragments actually, actually aggregated into... a pig? ! That's right, it was a pig, a very ordinary pig, except that its belly was so big that it was out of proportion to its body. The old woman took her hand away from her face, and her fear was reduced by more than half. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary pig. In fact, when the old woman was still in her hometown in the countryside, her family made a living by slaughtering livestock. The famous butcher, since she was a child, she has seen countless scenes of killing pigs, and she has long been used to it. At the same time, she also classifies animals such as pigs as the least dangerous group. The pig looked at the old woman stupidly, and the old woman also looked at the pig. A high-level animal and a low-level animal were in a stalemate like this. "It hurts~~~" the pig suddenly spoke, and the voice sounded thin, like a child. The pig actually talked? ?Once the old woman opened her mouth, she couldn't close it anymore. "It really hurts~~~~~~It really hurts~~~~" The pig was still in a daze, saying the same sentence over and over again. "It's such a long tube~~It's so uncomfortable to insert it~~~" The pig blinked his small eyes and lowered his head. The old woman's face turned green. From the seemingly incoherent words of the pig, she heard the clues. Although she was panicking to the extreme, her mind was still clear.Back then, her father complained to her that slaughtering pigs could not make much money now, and there was no return for hard work.At that time, she gave her father a notice, asking her father to hang up the upper jaws of the pigs with iron hooks so that they could not close their mouths, and then use a plastic pipe several meters long to pour water into the pigs' mouths, so that Those beasts screamed incessantly one by one, and it became common for several of them to die on the spot. With this idea, their family's income gradually increased. You can often see his father happily counting the banknotes he just received while increasing the water pressure, with dozens of round-bellied white piglets lying behind him, humming, breathing out but not breathing in. "You should try it too~~~" After the pig finished speaking, it slowly spit out a several-meter-long plastic pipe from its mouth. As soon as the pipe fell to the ground, it snaked like a snake and crawled towards the old woman. "No...don't..." The old woman wanted to run, but she couldn't move a step at all, and she still couldn't close her mouth, watching the dirty pipe slowly climb up from her feet, and finally climbed into the in her mouth. A stream of red liquid appeared in the tube and poured directly into her stomach. The old woman was so uncomfortable that she wanted to commit suicide immediately. Her stomach felt as if it was about to explode due to a strong pressure. She wanted to resist but was powerless... "I can't find water... I can only use my blood..." Pig looked at the old woman in extreme pain and said stupidly. Besides, the bald head, in fact, he did not fall into pieces, he and the old woman were trapped in two completely different illusions.After he was swallowed by the monster just now, he felt his eyes go black, his whole head was tightly wrapped by a soft and cold object, and the unpleasant stench went straight into his nose, and the object wrapped him tighter and tighter. Suddenly, a burst of pain hit him, and he felt himself being bitten by sharp teeth.He felt that he was not far from death, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle. A white light flashed, and a hole was torn in this illusion space, and Zhong Xu stepped in. She saw the old woman standing blankly less than two meters away from the bald head, while the bald head was squatting motionless on the ground, both of them closed their eyes tightly, with strangely painful expressions on their faces. Zhong Xu quickly took out two talisman papers and put them between his index fingers, reciting the incantation in a low voice, the two talisman papers instantly turned into two balls of flames, Zhong Xu raised his hand, and shouted: "Scatter!" The two balls of flames immediately flew apart To the old woman and the bald man, and then disappearing above their heads, Zhong Xu stepped forward a few steps, one left and one right, and slapped the sky caps of the two respectively, saying: "Go!"里消失无影。 钟旭伸手探了探两人的鼻息，松了一口气，虽然微弱，但是幸好她去的及时，总算留下他们两个一条命。 20楼的人急急地按着电梯按纽，都在奇怪这电梯门怎么老打不开，这电梯也怪，就停在这层楼不上又不下的。 里面的钟旭伸手按下开门，电梯终于开了。 外面的人看到电梯里的情景纷纷大吃一惊。 “大家快帮忙把他们送医院吧，刚才电梯突然出了故障，我们被困在了里面，他们有电梯恐惧症，吓晕过去了。”钟旭指着躺在地上的两个衰人，撒了一个合情合理的谎。 于是众人七手八脚地打电话叫救护车，然后把他们护送下楼。不到五分钟，救护车赶到，老女人跟秃头终于安全地被抬进去离开了长瑞。 钟旭吁了口气，一看时间，天，已经快六点了。她正要往22楼冲，却突然想起了她带来的大包袱——钟晴，怎么在大堂里没看到他？ !这死小子，不知道又乱窜到哪里去了！钟旭急了，这里不是一般的地方，凭钟晴那点本事，真要出点什么事，他不死也脱层皮！ 钟旭赶紧给钟晴拨电话过去，还好，响了两声后，钟晴接了电话。 “死孩子你跑哪儿去了？不是说了让你在大堂里等我吗？” “什么呀，谁叫你去了那么久，打你电话又打不通。” "Where are you now?" “哦，我在22楼，盛唐的总经理办公室呢，姐你赶紧上来吧，出电梯直走再转左就是。快点啊！！就这样！” 钟晴那头迅速挂了电话。 钟旭放下电话，快步往电梯走去，心里奇怪这死孩子居然自己跑到别人那里去了，真是的，害她白担心一下。 整个22楼一片灯火通明，此时仍有不少职员忙碌地穿梭于各个办公室。 这整层楼都是盛唐集团的办公场所，钟旭快步走在装修极之豪华的通道里，心里感叹着大企业就是不同，连通道都要布置地如此张扬。 刚一转弯，钟旭就跟匆匆往外赶的司徒月波撞了个满怀。 虽然钟旭一身好功夫，可是在毫无防备的情况下跟身型高大的司徒月波来个火星撞地球，她讨不到半点便宜。 一个趔趄，钟旭往后一倒，还好司徒月波眼疾手快，一把抓住她往前一拉，免了她一个大大的洋相。 “钟小姐你没事吧？”司徒月波松开手问道。 若换作是别的冒失鬼，此刻多半已经扮国宝不用化妆了，可是，这个不一样。 钟旭把掉到眼前的一缕头发拨开，嘻嘻一笑：“托您的福，这不没摔下去嘛，能有什么事。” “呵呵。”司徒月波笑道：“我怕钟小姐对这里不熟悉，正要出去接你。” “哈哈，你刚才不是已经'接'到我了吗？！”钟旭幽他一默，随后收起笑容道：“钟晴那死小子在你那儿吧？” “是啊，我们赶紧进去吧。”司徒月波做了一个请的姿势。 在司徒月波宽敞考究的办公室里，钟晴正跟坐在外间的秘书小姐聊得火热，看得出这小子挺会讨女孩子欢心的，漂亮的秘书小姐正被逗得掩口大笑。 看到钟旭和司徒月波走了进来，秘书小姐立刻打住笑容，站起身来了一个70度的鞠躬：“总经理！” “今天没什么事了，你下班吧。还有，跟外面所有的人说可以走了，今天不用加班了。”司徒月波准备谴退所有人，按照钟旭刚才的要求。 “好的！”秘书兴高采烈地收拾东西准备离开。
