Chapter 1

Jiang Qi just kept following the little girl ghost.

No one else on the set could see the little girl's ghost. After she was mad at the heroine, she stopped correcting her manners. After a break, the heroine successfully completed the filming.

After more than a dozen attempts, it finally worked. Director Li seemed very happy and forced a smile to encourage him, "Not bad, this one works."

The heroine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cousin happily handed the thermos cup of scented tea to the heroine and whispered, "I said it was just a psychological effect, sister. You were just too nervous just now."

The heroine drank the warm flower tea and nodded: "Maybe I'm really too nervous."

The little girl ghost became unhappy when she heard what they said. She floated behind the director's monitor, politely not getting close to the director and keeping a certain distance.

"It's shoddy." The little girl curled her lips. "It's just a fake and inferior product."

Jiang Qi found that this ghost was quite cultured and had used quite a few idioms from just now till now.

Seeing that a scene was finished and there was nothing exciting to watch, the little girl ghost twisted her waist and floated into the lounge.

The screenwriter is revising the script in the lounge.

The female editor, whose hair was tied up like a bunch of weeds by herself, was facing the computer, typing away furiously, cursing as she typed: "Revise, revise, revise, all you do is revise, revise, revise, if you have the guts, pay me the balance. Who will revise for you after I pay you? You're making so much trouble for such a small sum of money. I should have not taken this order."

The irritable worker cursed while typing out scenes of the male and female protagonists on the computer.

The little girl ghostly floated behind the screenwriter, stared at the computer for a while, and said, "What you wrote is wrong. Huang Li doesn't like her senior brother at all, and the senior brother is called Zhuzi instead of Qin Yue. He can't read a few words. If he is called by this name, he can't even write his own name."

"I only wish your heart is like mine, I will never let you down. You used this line wrong, there is no "I" in the last line, it should be "I will never let you down."

"If Master hadn't been tempted by money and sold me to Young Master Liang for 600 yuan, how could we have become the miserable couple we are today..."

"What are you writing about? Who would spend 600 yuan to marry a concubine? Huangli is not pretty, and 600 yuan can buy a big house in Beijing. If Master Liang spends 600 yuan to marry a concubine, his father will break his legs."

"What you wrote is not right, and aren't you a crew performing a play? Why is there only this one scene for the performance? There is something wrong with your script!" The little girl ghost kept chattering beside the screenwriter. The screenwriter was completely unaware, and his fingers on the keyboard moved very quickly. Line after line of plot that the little girl ghost thought was not right appeared in the document.

"There has to be some singing! There has to be some singing!" the little girl screamed.

Maybe he couldn't control himself, and the screenwriter actually heard some of this.

The screenwriter's hands paused as he was typing, and he turned around to find that the door of the lounge was closed. He walked to the door and opened it, and found that two crew members were chatting at the door. He thought that their voices were too loud and could be heard inside.

"Keep your voices down! I'm revising the script!" the screenwriter said angrily, and went back to continue revising.

"We didn't talk just now. Why is Screenwriter Zhou being so mean to us?" The staff member who was standing at the door of the lounge enjoying the air conditioning said innocently.

The two of them stood at the door simply to enjoy the air conditioning in the lounge.

"Maybe the director asked her to revise the script again and she's in a bad mood." Another person put out his cigarette. "It seems like dinner is almost ready. Let's go check it out."

"Walk."

"Great, time to eat!" The little girl ghost happily followed the two staff members, as if she could also eat.

The time before lunch is when the entire crew is most present. Except for screenwriter Zhou, the cousin and the investor, everyone is waiting for the stagehands to serve lunch. Since the crew is very poor and all of them are new, everyone is treated equally, including the director and the male and female leads, who all eat the same lunch box.

The lunch box was very rich, with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. The portions were large enough for an average adult man to eat. The meat dishes were very good-looking braised chicken legs and large pieces of braised pork and potatoes, and the vegetable dishes were stir-fried vegetables and mapo tofu, which went very well with rice. After eating, you could also have a bowl of mung bean soup.

Due to the limited funds of the crew, the staff ordered the meals per person and kept a strict watch on them. When the meals were served, they kept an eye on everyone taking the meals, for fear that someone would take too much.

In the end, there was only one lunch box left in the foam box.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come to get their meals?" asked the groundskeeper.

"It seems that screenwriter Zhou is not here." The staff member just said, "She is revising the script in the lounge."

"My cousin didn't come either." said the heroine.

Field staff: ???

"Who took an extra lunch box?!" The staff was furious. "I've already ordered such a large amount for the lunch boxes, increased the meal price by five yuan, and asked the boss to give twice as much food. Is there anyone who is still not full? You even steal lunch boxes, every day. Can you finish all the food you take?!"

No one dared to say anything. It was obvious that the crew had been losing lunch boxes for a long time.

It's okay for a big crew to lose one or two lunch boxes, because they usually have more lunch boxes, not less. But it's different for a small crew where the lead actor's salary is only tens of thousands of yuan. Everything has to be calculated carefully. If two lunch boxes are lost every day for a few months, that's hundreds of them, enough to hire a few extras.

Director Li comforted him, "It's okay, it's not much anyway, just a box lunch, order more next time."

It is not worthwhile to thoroughly investigate the entire crew just for a box lunch.

"This is not even about a box lunch!" The crew was furious. "How many things have been lost since the crew started filming? Opera headgear, small jewelry, costumes, prop lanterns, candles, embroidered shoes, and other small things. I won't mention them. Last week, Producer Wang showed sympathy to everyone and some people took extra coffee per person. We can't just let this go."

Jiang Qi looked at the little girl ghost holding the lunch box.

Wow, you took a lot. Not only did you steal the lunch, you also stole the coffee.

But aren't you a ghost?

Could it be that ghosts in this world can eat and drink?

The little girl felt a little guilty, holding the lunch box and floating in the air, saying, "I know that taking things without asking is stealing, but I'm afraid that if I ask and then take them, you'll be scared and run away. You people are so timid nowadays. I just wanted to practice my voice in the middle of the night and lost control of the volume, so I scared everyone away."

"Besides, this theater originally belongs to me. You occupied my place to film and didn't pay me rent. What's wrong with me using some of your things to pay the rent?"

"I thought those jewellery and clothes were good things, but they turned out to be fake jewellery. The material of the clothes was OK, but the workmanship was a bit low. The threads kept coming apart and I had to mend them myself."

Jiang Qi: ...

For some reason, he felt that what the little girl ghost said made sense.

The staff was still shouting that they would conduct a strict investigation to correct this unhealthy trend, and the heroine quickly came out to smooth things over: "It's okay, Brother Wang, my sister and I have small appetites, so we can just share a box lunch."

"Hey, why hasn't my sister come yet?"

"I just saw her going out with Producer Wang." someone said.

The female lead didn't think anything was wrong: "Maybe Producer Wang wants to buy something and asks my sister to help. I'll give him a call and ask."

The little girl ghost has already floated away with the lunch box.

Jiang Qi followed her to the backyard.

The backyard is just a simple small courtyard with a lot of debris piled up. There is a big tree in the yard, as well as a trash can and a lot of cigarette butts on the ground. I guess the crew members must have smoked here a lot.

The little girl didn't mind the dirtiness, she just sat on the door edge, opened her lunch box and started to eat with relish.

After finishing a box lunch, the little girl threw the box into the trash and started wandering around the theater with a very satisfied look on her face.

She looked around here and there, and she was not interested when the crew started filming. Maybe she was only interested in the plot of the play on the stage. She was not interested in the tragic love between the hero and heroine, and she even felt a little disgusted.

Jiang Qi followed the little girl around for the whole day, watching her chattering like a chatterbox in front of everyone.

After Producer Wang came back in the afternoon, she followed Producer Wang and kept nagging him all the way, educating him that he should not save money when making movies, because movies made by saving money would not be good.

While the crew was still trying to investigate the lunch box thief, she floated behind them and explained that she had just eaten dozens of lunch boxes and taken some cheap jewelry, clothes and props that looked interesting.

The little girl said that she had not seen so many people here except for the occasional children who came to play since the theater was abandoned more than ten years ago. In addition, she could not go out, and she had never seen any new things outside. It was her fault to take some because they were new, and she would return them when she got tired of them.

Of course, the stage manager couldn't hear these words. He spent the whole afternoon thinking about finding the lunch box thief.

Occasionally, when she passed by the staff who had never had a name, the little girl would also talk about it. She would either say that the TV series they were watching was too bad and asked them to watch another one, or complain that the staff watched the show too fast after they left at night. She couldn't keep up with the show when she watched it in the theater. Every day when she watched it, she didn't understand why the plot suddenly developed like this.

Of course, the little girl ghost also had something to say to the protagonists, and what she said revealed many of their secrets.

For example, my cousin is secretly dating an investor, but the investor actually has a wife.

For example, the male protagonist actually knew that his cousin was secretly dating an investor, but he didn't say it, so the female protagonist never knew about it.

For example, the costume designer really embezzled a lot of funds, so the quality of the clothes in the crew was not good. The little girl ghost was very indignant about this. The costumes she liked and took away were of such poor quality that she spent two or three nights mending them.

Just as the little girl ghost was happily wandering around the crew, the stagehands began to take action.

At critical moments, it is always the NPCs who drive the plot forward.

The stagehands wanted to do a thorough inventory of the lost props of the crew, make a detailed list with facts and draw everyone's attention, so the stagehands started to count the existing props of the crew after dinner.

This is a physical job. Although the crew is small, there are enough props. It is not easy to count all the small items. In order to fight the lunch box thief to the end, the stagehand who is over 50 years old decided to challenge the impossible and count the props one by one.

Then the little girl ghost was robbed.

When her home was robbed, she was happily sitting on the threshold of the yard eating a box lunch. When she realized something was wrong, she threw the box lunch away and floated back, so fast that Jiang Qi almost couldn't catch up with her.

The stealing of the house by the field staff was a great success.

The theater is very small, and the little girl ghost has accumulated a lot of items over the years, all of which are stored in dusty boxes in several utility rooms.

These boxes were all broken wooden boxes, the wood was rotten, and the dust on them was half a centimeter thick. Dirt was the best cover for it, and the little girl ghost had been staying in the theater and couldn't leave, so she didn't worry about her things being stolen at all, and she didn't even try to hide them.

It turns out that sometimes it is better to be safe than sorry.

When the stage manager was counting the props, he felt that the boxes in the corner were too dirty and took up too much space, so he wanted to move them all out, so he gritted his teeth and decided to move them away himself.

Then there was the surprise.

The props lost by the crew, such as costumes, shoes, jewelry, flashlights, light strips, lighting boards, lanterns, candles, and wave drums, are all in these boxes, each of which is very clean and well preserved.

In addition to the things lost by the crew, there are also good things that the little girl ghost has accumulated over the years.

Ordinary clothes, truly valuable jewelry, truly exquisite costumes, a full set of headgear, cosmetics and skin care products from decades ago, and a host of other things that little girls like were all discovered by the stagehands.

Because there were too many things, the crew didn't realize for a moment that the valuable items mixed in with the cheap stuff were not from the crew. They thought that there really was a super habitual thief in the crew who had unknowingly stolen so many small things on the set.

When the little girl ghost arrived at the scene, she saw all her belongings spread out on the ground like a street vendor.

The costume department was trying to take advantage of the situation by taking away her valuable jewelry as cheap jewelry that the crew had lost.

The little girl ghost was extremely angry.

"Robber!" the little girl ghost shouted angrily, and this time, everyone heard her shouting.

Following the direction of the voice, everyone saw a ghost floating in the air. He was wearing a red costume, had a thin body, pale skin, bloodless lips, eyes filled with rage, and a face full of anger, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces.

Of course, in everyone's eyes, this is just the evil ghost in red.

The costume was so frightened that she lost her hold on the bracelet and it fell to the ground.

Seeing her beloved jade bracelet fall to the ground, the little girl ghost became even angrier, and a very cold and oppressive feeling came over her. She was so scared that her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

"I...I..." The costume was so frightened that he was trembling and couldn't say a word.

"You actually threw my bracelet. I usually don't want to wear it, but you actually threw it on the ground!" The little girl's sharp voice hurt everyone's ears, and everyone covered their ears in pain.

"Wow, woo, woo, woo, my bracelet." The little girl started crying in grievance.

Although she cried really miserably, the crew members who were so frightened that their bodies were stiff and unable to move did not have the leisure to sympathize with her. Everyone sympathized more with themselves.

If I encounter a female ghost in red while filming a horror movie, my life will be over.

"Run!" a staff member who regained control of his legs shouted and ran away.

The others were awakened by the roar, and the instinct for survival overcame their fear. They all ran for their lives, trying to escape from the theater.

Then the little girl's ghost's collection of treasures that had been spread on the ground by the stage staff was trampled upon by the panicked and disoriented crowd.

"Bang." A piece of the headwear was crushed.

"Ding." The bracelet was kicked away.

One foot, made of satin fabric, with all the patterns on it hand-embroidered by a skilled embroiderer, has an extra size 40 shoe print on it.

Another shoe print, size 37.

The hairpin is broken.

The cosmetics box was broken.

The lantern was trampled and broken.

The agate bracelet flew off.

…

All this happened in a split second.

The little girl ghost was crying, and then she realized that there was nothing to cry about what had just happened.

The real time to cry is now.

All her belongings were gone!

All belongings!

"Wow!" The little girl's defense was broken on the spot and she burst into tears, "You bunch of robbers, I will kill you!!"

All the light bulbs in the theater shattered.

It's dark.

Jiang Qi witnessed all this.

Oh no.

The boss is going big.

"Wow, wow, wow, dad, they are bullying me, wow!" The little girl's shrill cry echoed throughout the theater.

Everyone covered their ears in pain. Some were in serious condition and rolled on the ground in pain, with their faces covered in blood from their noses. It was really scary to look at.

"You have to compensate me for my things and money!!!"

A white light flashed, and Jiang Qi left the memory.

.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Qi returned to the door of the ancient-style room. Xingzi was still singing in the room, Beiru was still standing in the door, and the host manual was still on the page before.

Although Jiang Qi stayed in the memory for most of the day, it was obvious that not much time had passed in real life and no one noticed.

"Huh." Jiang Qi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

That’s great, we don’t have to be on the social news.

Even now his head is still buzzing, and what echoes in his mind is still the little girl ghost's voice, which is full of emotion without skills, and deafening to lose money.

The ghost that attacks with sonic waves should not be underestimated. Even if Jiang Qi is not affected, the shrill cries can still be heard for three days.

"Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for obtaining [Special Card] x 1, [Building Card] x 1. Please check in the card pack."

There are actually two cards!

Jiang Qi thought about it, turned around and opened the card pack.

[Building Card: Abandoned Theater] (Summonable)

Star rating:★

Skill: Full House (As a once popular theater/theater, the Abandoned Theater believes that as long as it can reopen, it will be full of guests, provided that the actors' level is not too poor, which is not the level of a certain horror film crew)

Card details: The territory of Half-Ghost King Wang Xinghua, which has ordinary seats on the first floor and luxury rooms on the second floor, and can seamlessly switch between theater and theatre decoration. As long as there are enough outstanding actors, the abandoned theater can guarantee that it will return to its former glory.

(This building card requires a large area. Once placed, it cannot be cancelled or moved before 3 stars. Players are advised to choose the placement carefully.)

Jiang Qi:?

Half-ghost king?

Wang Xinghua?

There are so many things to complain about that I don't know where to start.

[Special Card: Half-Ghost King Wang Xinghua] (Summonable)

Star rating:★

Skills: Opera enthusiast (as the daughter of an opera troupe owner, Wang Xinghua has a good voice, but she has been in poor health since childhood, so she has never really learned the movements of singing opera. She has only learned some singing styles from her father and other people in the troupe. At most, she is an opera enthusiast with excellent skills)

Card details: Because her father loves his daughter so much, he uses evil magic to help her live longer, and eventually she becomes half-ghost, trapped in an abandoned theater. Wang Xinghua is a half-ghost king. In theory, Wang Xinghua is not a creature that should exist in this world, and cannot be reincarnated. She has a strong desire for material things, has been spoiled since childhood, has received a good education, loves jewelry and gorgeous costumes, and her greatest wish in this life is to leave the abandoned theater, become a human again, and live a complete life.

(This special card is somewhat dangerous, and may cause serious consequences if it loses control due to extreme anger.)

Jiang Qi: ...

Looking at the card details, you can tell that this is a difficult ghost to support, and his hobby is very expensive.

but……

This is the Half-Ghost King!

Half a ghost king!

You can tell from the name of the card that it is very impressive, and the girl is actually quite polite, just a little talkative. As long as you don't get angry, there shouldn't be any serious consequences.

All the property accumulated for nearly a hundred years was destroyed in one day. Who wouldn't be angry?

She can also mend clothes and her knitting skills should be pretty good.

Jiang Qi decided to wait until the book was finished to see the ending of the story and whether the little girl Xinghua killed the crew members in extreme anger.

If she summoned someone without killing anyone, Miss Xinghua would never encounter anything more infuriating in the future.

As Jiang Qi was thinking about this, the performance in the room ended.

Xingzi came out in her costume and saw Jiang Qi still at the door. She asked excitedly, "Boss Jiang, how was my singing just now?"

"Not bad, not bad, very ethereal." Jiang Qi praised randomly.

He didn't really listen.

Beru in the room reminds the players that they can start reading the next scene, and then comes out with the host manual.

"Xingzi, I will turn off the lights before you appear in the next scene. Remember to quickly walk behind them and sing softly, and keep your voice low." Beiru reminded.

"I remember it. We've rehearsed it many times. There will definitely be no problem!" Xingzi said confidently.

Jiang Qi looked at the host manual in Beiru's hand, and suddenly remembered that for some scripts with more complicated plots, the host manual would have a review of the entire story.

The nanny and host manuals of some very difficult hardcore reasoning books will even mark the contents of all clue cards and the reasoning ideas corresponding to the clue cards.

"Beru, is there a review in this host manual?" Jiang Qi asked.

"Yes." Beru nodded. "This is a nanny-level host's manual. You can probably tell the whole story by reading the host's manual."

"Do you still want to use it? Or let me see it first."

Beiru handed the host manual to Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi didn't go to other rooms, but stood at the door and started reading.

As an important NPC and ultimate boss in "Red Tears", Wang Xinghua has a very complete character setting and plot line in this book.

Moreover, as a boss, her growth process is completely separated from those of the main characters. It serves as a reasoning branch that players need to deduce based on clue cards. You can understand Wang Xinghua's story without reading the character book.

Wang Xinghua is the only daughter of the opera troupe's owner, a character that has never appeared in the film script.

By the way, the reason why this script is called "Red Tears" is because the name of the movie based on this script is called "Red Tears". It can be said that the word "Red Tears" has nothing to do with Wang Xinghua.

Wang Xinghua's mother died of complications during childbirth, and she was born prematurely with congenital deficiencies, so she was weak since childhood. The owner of the troupe, Wang, did not want his daughter to engage in such a low-class job as singing opera. He just wanted his daughter, who was in poor health, to live safely in the troubled times, and preferably to marry a good family and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Because the troupe's business was booming and several famous actors emerged one after another, owner Wang had money to treat his daughter's illness, send her to an expensive Western-style girls' school, save up a dowry for her, and indulge her in everything, raising her into a spoiled young lady.

Because Wang Xinghua had poor health since childhood, the troupe owner Wang did not allow her to have much contact with the children (apprentices) bought from the troupe. In addition, the classmates in the girls' school where she attended were basically all young ladies from wealthy families, and they did not like to pay attention to her, the daughter of the troupe owner. As a result, Wang Xinghua had no friends since childhood and no one to talk to.

But she happened to be a chatterbox, which led to the habit that Jiang Qi saw in his memory, where she could talk to herself for a long time even if no one responded.

The legendary love story between Huang Li and her senior brother is also fake. As a not-so-beautiful-looking little red-hot girl, Huang Li has always been very motivated and strives to marry into a wealthy family, become a concubine, and live a rich life.

The so-called robbery was completely fictitious. Senior Brother Zhuzi and Huangli were innocent. Huangli died of tuberculosis. Zhuzi killed the young master because his family was a traitor and sold arms to the enemy country. Zhuzi was a patriot and assassinated him completely out of passion.

Since Zhuzi's assassination attempt failed and he was a member of the troupe, the troupe naturally collapsed. The troupe leader Wang took Wang Xinghua to escape, but Wang Xinghua's old illness relapsed on the way and she was about to die. In order to save his daughter, the troupe leader Wang spent all his money to find an evil monk to prolong her life.

Yes, there are evil cultivators in this world too.

All we can say is that evil cultivators are like bricks and can be moved wherever they are needed.

Then the ridiculous and fantasy plot began. Wang Xinghua had an extremely yin fate, and the evil cultivator not only wanted her money but also her life.

The evil cultivator tricked the troupe owner Wang into using evil magic to exchange his life for Wang Xinghua's, and asked him to return to the abandoned theater to use evil magic to hang himself in exchange for his life. The troupe owner Wang did so for the sake of his daughter, but by some strange coincidence, Wang Xinghua did not die, but the evil cultivator did.

As a result, Wang Xinghua turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost. She could eat like a human and walk like a human, but she was essentially still a ghost with the power of a fierce ghost. She was trapped in the theater and unable to leave.

As for the so-called young master being hanged in the theater by a ghost as revenge, it is a complete misunderstanding. The person hanged in the theater was the owner Wang. I don't know how the rumor became the young master.

Later, as time passed and the war ended, the theater was converted into a theatre and became lively again. Wang Xinghua watched plays in the theatre every day and became addicted to them. She couldn't help singing late at night.

Sometimes the sound is not controlled well and can be heard by others.

In addition, Wang Xinghua often stole food from the theater cafeteria, stole the actors' cosmetics and skin care products, and often took things she liked. As time went by, everyone realized that the theater might be haunted, and it gradually became deserted.

Until the arrival of the film crew, all Wang Xinghua's savings over the years were destroyed in one day, and she was suddenly back to the life before liberation and became a bankrupt.

The good news is that although Wang Xinghua cried so miserably that the crew members' faces were covered with blood from their noses and some even had blood oozing from their ears, no one was killed.

The final outcome was that the crew compensated Wang Xinghua for all her losses, the script had to be changed to what she liked, and the lunch boxes had to be based on her favorite dishes. Anyway, the result was that Wang Xinghua became dependent on the crew and would not leave unless her demands were met.

After watching the entire plot, Jiang Qi felt that this special card could be summoned.

The danger should not be great. Although Wang Xinghua is a half-ghost king, he has never harmed anyone. He is just a little difficult to support, and the things he likes are more expensive than Lili's dolls.

Jiang Qi returned the host manual to Beiru, found an empty room, went in and locked the door.

Open the card pack and summon [Special Card: Half-Ghost King Wang Xinghua].

Wang Xinghua, wearing a pink dress, appeared in front of Jiang Qi.

"Huh, I can actually leave the theater." Wang Xinghua was surprised and looked at Jiang Qi, a little confused about what to call him.

Jiang Qi saw through Wang Xinghua's dilemma at a glance. As a senior boss with many excellent employees, Jiang Qi said very experiencedly: "My name is Jiang Qi, you can just call me boss from now on."

"Okay, boss." Wang Xinghua nodded very obediently, "Boss, just call me Xinghua."

"Apricots from the wood mouth, flowers from the grass."

"Boss, do I need to introduce myself?"

It can only be said that Wang Xinghua is indeed a knowledgeable and cultured person who has received a certain level of education and understands the means of defending rights such as claiming compensation. She even knows that she needs to introduce herself to her boss before joining the company.

Jiang Qi nodded.

Wang Xinghua cleared her throat and said, "My name is Wang Xinghua. I'm a ghost who was trapped in a theater. A crew owed me a lot of jewelry. Although they haven't paid me back yet, since I've left the theater, I can temporarily put it aside and ask them to pay me back when I return."

Jiang Qi: ...

Well, Wang Xinghua may have a little misunderstanding about the self-introduction before joining the company.

But it doesn't matter. He has never been responsible for employee induction training. Huang Fugui is in charge of it. I can just hand the people over to Huang Fugui for induction training when I go back.

"Xinghua, can you now be invisible and visible at times?" Jiang Qi asked.

"Of course." Wang Xinghua said, and demonstrated invisibility to Jiang Qi on the spot.

Then maybe because Jiang Qi is the owner of the card, invisibility is ineffective against Jiang Qi.

Wang Xinghua pulled her skirt awkwardly and changed the subject: "Boss, not only can I become invisible, but when I show up, I can also walk like a normal person, and no one will notice. It's just that floating is faster, and I usually like floating."

Jiang Qi nodded to show that he understood: "Is there anything you need urgently? You can ask for it if you need it. It may take a while to buy a mobile phone and clothes. The company is short of funds recently."

Anyway, Wang Xinghua is a half-ghost king and can become invisible, so there is no rush to buy clothes.

Wang Xinghua nodded. She actually didn’t care much about these things.

"Boss, can I eat now?" Wang Xinghua asked, "I want to eat a box lunch with braised chicken legs, braised pork, fish chunks, and beer duck."

Hearing the names of the dishes Wang Xinghua reported, I knew that she would definitely like the food cooked by Huang Fugui in the future.

It's all meat, not a single vegetable.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat now." Jiang Qi said this was easy, as the small stir-fry restaurants in the alley were still open at this time, and these home-cooked meat dishes could be eaten in any restaurant.

Jiang Qi found a men's winter cloak in the dressing room and put it on Wang Xinghua to prevent her from wearing a skirt outside in November and attracting onlookers. Because the employees often wear the clothes of the ghosts and put on thick clothes to go shopping, for people with such strange outfits, people nearby usually assume that they are employees of the script-killing store.

Wang Xinghua happily put on her cloak and followed Jiang Qi downstairs.

Downstairs, Wang Erya was knitting while watching a video. She saw Wang Xinghua and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, new sister."

"Er Ya, this is Wang Xinghua, a new employee. Is it okay for her to stay with you tonight?"

"No problem." Wang Erya said.

"Xinghua, this is Erya. She is a ghost waiting in line in the underworld to be reincarnated."

When Wang Xinghua heard that Wang Erya had actually queued up to be reincarnated in the underworld, her eyes lit up. She felt that she and Wang Erya had become closer. She walked up to her and said, "Sister Erya, I am a ghost born in 1904. When were you born?"

"1896."

Wang Xinghua: ...

Wang Xinghua left in silence.

Jiang Qi took Wang Xinghua to a small stir-fry restaurant where the owner was a good cook and all the dishes were not too salty, bland, overcooked or bitter, and let Wang Xinghua order the dishes herself.

Wang Xinghua, who originally only wanted to eat braised chicken legs, braised pork and fish fillets, and beer duck, became troubled when looking at the two full menus.

After a long while, Wang Xinghua asked, "Boss, can I eat them all?"

Jiang Qi:?

"I can finish it, really."

Jiang Qi said that it is not a question of whether or not, but if you really finish eating, both of us will definitely be on the local hot search today.

In the end, Jiang Qi decided to order braised pork, sweet and sour hairtail, braised spareribs, spicy chicken and winter melon soup.

"Oh, actually, I'm quite curious. Since your father sent you to a Western-style girls' school, why didn't he give you a more elegant name?"

Jiang Qi felt that the simple name Wang Xinghua was inconsistent with her personality of being extremely materialistic and loving jewelry and fancy clothes.

"Because my father thought that humble names would help me survive," Wang Xinghua said, "He wanted to name me Cuihua at first, but there was already a Cuihua in the troupe, so I was named Xinghua."

Jiang Qi: Phew.

I updated less yesterday and had wanted to try to write a long chapter of ten thousand words, but in the end I didn't finish it.
