“Our company’s CFO hasn’t come to work since yesterday morning. We tried to contact him today, but he didn’t answer his phone. We also couldn’t reach his family.”
The company sent several security guards to check on him. They found him sitting at his doorstep, seemingly in a daze, muttering "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!" for some unknown reason.
Several security guards forcibly pulled him into a car and took him to the hospital for a checkup. He's still in the hospital. "Because you hadn't come to the company for the past few days, I was worried you were busy, so I didn't call to tell you."
Before Jiang Jieyu could finish speaking, Guagua said, "[Host, your CFO, Xiao Zhiyuan, was possessed by something unclean yesterday when he passed the intersection where people were burning paper money. It followed him all the way home.]"
"Which hospital is Jiang Jieyu in now? Come with me to take a look later."
Let alone a company's CFO, who holds a pivotal position in the company, even an ordinary technician would be visited by Lu Chi whenever he had time if he was sick or hospitalized.
This demonstrates the boss's humanistic care for his employees.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, when do we plan to leave? I'll go and get ready to bring some gifts."
"Does the company have any plans for today?"
Jiang Jieyu thought for a moment and said, "I have a business reception around 10 o'clock. I'll finish around 11 o'clock, have lunch, and then go over. I can take a nap on the way back."
Lu Chi nodded: "Then let's do it that way."
"Mr. Lu, it's 9 a.m. The person who came this time is Pin Xixi, who wants to use our game to insert product advertisements."
"Pin Xixi?" Lu Chi pressed, "Is it that Pin Xixi who can cut thousands of times but never get any money?"
Jiang Jieyu was amused: "Yes."
Lu Chi shook his head: "Pin Xixi is too unethical, I won't cooperate."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chi said, "Forget it, it's free money if we don't make it."
Jiang Jieyu smiled softly, "Okay, Mr. Lu, you go ahead with your work, I'm going to get back to work."
At 10 o'clock, Lu Chi went to the conference room, met with the staff of the business department of Pinxixi, and finalized the advertising price.
Compared to other partners, Pinxixi's prices are 20% higher.
They knew the price was high, but there was nothing they could do. Lu Chi's attitude was: cooperate if you want, or get lost.
They keep lying to people, saying that if you cut a few times, bring in a new user, or scan a QR code face-to-face, you can withdraw money. But who knows, even after cutting a thousand times, you still can't get any money out. Isn't this a scam?
If this kind of platform doesn't rip off the users, who else will it rip off?
The original plan was to receive the business department staff at 10 o'clock and finish by 11 o'clock, but Lu Chi finished in less than 10 minutes.
The gift for Secretary Jiang Jieyu has been prepared: a gift basket and a bouquet of flowers, which is neither too extravagant nor too stingy.
It has to be said that this secretary is capable, and Lu Chi highly approves of her abilities.
"Mr. Lu, shall we head over now?"
Lu Chi nodded: "Okay, let's go now."
Upon arriving at the psychiatric ward of the Fifth Municipal Hospital, Lu Chi saw Xiao Zhiyuan lying on the hospital bed. At this moment, Xiao Zhiyuan's eyes were lifeless, his lips were bluish, and his hands were raised high, gesturing to the air as if he were doing something.
His wife and son sat on the edge of the bed, crying incessantly.
Their pitiful appearance was truly touching.
"Xiao Zhiyuan!"
Lu Chi called his name and walked to his bedside, but he didn't respond.
His wife and son looked up and saw that it was Lu Chi. His wife, Yang Ya, was shocked. She never expected that such a big boss would come to visit her husband in person.
He quickly nudged Xiao Zixin, the son who had been wailing and was now looking at Lu Chi with curiosity, and said, "Zixin, this is your dad's boss. Say hello to him!"
Little Fatty Xiao Zixin wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and said loudly in a sobbing voice, "Hello, Uncle!"
"Hello." Lu Chi patted Xiao Zixin's head and said, "If I had known you were here, I would have brought you some snacks."
Before Lu Chi could finish speaking, Jiang Jieyu greeted Yang Ya, Xiao Zhiyuan's wife, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going out for a bit."
She went out sensibly.
Xiao Zixin shook her head: "Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Uncle! Zixin doesn't want any gifts, she just hopes her dad gets better soon. Uncle, what's wrong with my dad? No matter how I call him, he doesn't respond to me."
"Don't be afraid, let Uncle take a look."
Lu Chi looked up at Xiao Zhiyuan, then walked closer and sat down by his bedside. He scanned Xiao Zhiyuan's body with his divine eyes and found that apart from a few nodules in his lungs, he had no other illnesses.
Then it's not a physical reason.
Guagua said, "Host, he's been possessed by something unclean. His soul is bound, and now he's acting like an idiot."
Lu Chi: [So?]
Guagua: [To restore him to his original state, we must drive away the evil thing that's clinging to him. But the evil thing is a bit fierce, and it also has some connection with him, so it's not easy to drive it away.]
Lu Chi: [What the hell is this? Does it have some connection to him?]
Guagua: [That was his ex-girlfriend's boyfriend. Back then, his ex-girlfriend abandoned that guy for love and got together with Xiao Zhiyuan. That guy loved his ex-girlfriend very much and committed suicide because of his depression.]
However, Xiao Zhiyuan and his ex-girlfriend broke up because they lived in different places and saw each other less and less. A year later, Xiao Zhiyuan got married and had a child, while his ex-girlfriend was depressed for several years and was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness and didn't have long to live.
The man, now a ghost, stayed by his ex-girlfriend's side, watching her suffer from sadness and illness, always believing that Xiao Zhiyuan was the one who hurt her, causing her terminal illness. To avenge his ex-girlfriend, the man's spirit followed her here, haunting Xiao Zhiyuan and causing him endless trouble.
Lu Chi: [Understood.]
Guagua: [Host, to save Xiao Zhiyuan, you must fulfill the male ghost's wish so he can resolve his inner conflict and leave.]
Lu Chi: [What if I forcefully use a talisman to hit him?]
Guagua: [Host, you mustn't. If you forcibly use a talisman to attack him, you can destroy him, but it will also harm Xiao Zhiyuan's body. Essentially, Xiao Zhiyuan's body is currently a vessel for the male ghost's soul. If you want to destroy the male ghost's soul, you will definitely have to harm Xiao Zhiyuan.]
Lu Chi: [Ugh, this is so troublesome.]
Lu Chi turned around, just about to say to Xiao Zhiyuan's wife Yang Ya, "Sister-in-law, could you please take Xiao Zixin out for a moment? I have a few questions for Xiao Zhiyuan."
Although Yang Ya was somewhat puzzled by Lu Chi's behavior, she obediently pulled Xiao Zixin out.
As they left, Xiao Zixin looked at Lu Chi with pleading eyes and said, "Uncle, please save my dad."
Lu Chi nodded: "Okay."
