Chapter 115 The Domineering CEO's Ghost Encounters
The jade pendant was gently placed on the conference table.
In an instant, the lights in the conference room flickered on and off, and the temperature plummeted.
Lu Jianhong's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"You, what exactly are you..." His voice began to tremble.
Gu Jing stared at him, her tone eerily calm: "Zhao Nan, Zhao Bei, come out and meet President Lu."
The jade pendant emitted an eerie red light, and two sinister black mists swirled out from it, gradually coalescing into two old women dressed in ancient funeral clothes in the horrified gazes of the crowd.
Their bodies were hunched over, and their grayish-white faces were faintly visible through their long, gray hair. Their withered fingers had terrifyingly long fingernails.
“President Lu…” A hoarse, cold voice echoed in the conference room.
One of the old women slowly raised her head, her two pinpoint pupils staring straight at Lu Jianhong through her cloudy white eyes.
"A ghost...a ghost!" Lu Jianhong let out a scream of disbelief, his body rolling off the leather seat.
He crawled backward on his hands and feet, completely unaware that his tie was askew around his neck.
The meeting room was in complete chaos.
The CFO crawled under the conference table, scattering reports all over the floor.
The marketing manager knocked over his cup, and coffee spilled all over the documents.
Two old women floated in, their decaying sleeves brushing against Lu Jianhong's pale face: "Debts...repayment...is...a matter of course..."
Every word pierced my bones like an icicle.
Lu Jianhong's teeth chattered uncontrollably, and his expensive suit was already soaked with cold sweat.
Holy crap! This is really a ghost!
[Lu Jianhong's face turned green, hahaha!]
"...Let alone Lu Jianhong, I was so scared that my face turned ashen!"
Lin Zhaonan's withered fingers traced across his cheek, leaving several bloody marks on his skin from his nails.
Her voice seemed to come from underground: "Debts in the mortal world, if not repaid, will accrue interest in the underworld..."
Lu Jianhong's pupils contracted sharply, and a dark stain gradually appeared on the crotch of his suit trousers.
He screamed hysterically, “Finance! CFO! Immediately! Right now! Disburse the funds!”
The CFO's voice came from under the conference table; he was also eager to transfer the money and get rid of these troublemakers, "President Lu, how much?"
Lu Jianhong collapsed to the ground, pointing at the proposal: "Follow...follow it exactly! Not a single detail can be missing!"
Gu Jing gracefully picked up the jade pendant and flashed a victorious smile at the live stream camera.
"Done!"
The barrage of comments became a sea of joy, with gift effects exploding one after another.
[Lu Jianhong must have wet his pants in fear, right? Hilarious! You guessed right!]
I also won! Who will claim my prize?
[The Millennium Master's YYDS!]
[The 20 Hope Primary Schools are secured!]
This clip from the live stream spread like wildfire across various social media platforms.
Within just 24 hours, the hashtag #DomineeringCEOSeesGhosts# surged into the top three trending topics.
Netizens repeatedly replayed the embarrassing scene of Lu Jianhong collapsing to the ground with dark water stains seeping from the crotch of his suit trousers.
[I suggest Mr. Lu wear diapers to work next time; let's crowdfund it (doge emoji)]
[New material acquired! Currently working on a parody version of "The President's Mysterious Night," see you tomorrow night at 8 PM]
[Let me explain the blood jade in the video. It's a legitimate Xuanmen (mystical sect) magical artifact. Mr. Lu just got himself into trouble. For more details, check out the live stream on [Qianniangangtongwang].]
The stock price of the Lu Group immediately fell by 5%, and the board of directors held an emergency closed-door meeting.
Lu Jianhong hid in the villa for three whole days without daring to show his face, and even kept his phone switched off.
Xie Yutong, who is usually active in high society circles, suddenly fell ill and missed three important charity galas.
"Have you heard? It's Mrs. Lu's husband..."
"The one who wet his pants in the video?"
In the VIP room of a high-end beauty salon, several wealthy women exchanged knowing glances.
Even at the spa I frequent, the smiles of the receptionists seemed to carry a strange undertone.
What embarrassed Xie Yutong the most was that her daughter Lu Kangning's classmates actually turned the video into memes and shared them wildly on campus.
The usually proud little princess ran home with red eyes, "Mom! Now the whole school is laughing at me..."
Xie Yutong rushed into the study in ten-centimeter high heels and slammed her phone down in front of Lu Jianhong.
"Look what you've done!" Her voice was so shrill it almost pierced eardrums. "Now the whole city is laughing at our family. I don't even dare to go to the beauty salon!"
Lu Jianhong's face turned ashen as he swept the crystal ashtray off the table.
"You think I wanted this?" He loosened his tie, veins bulging on his neck. "That crazy woman came to our door with a real weapon. What could you have done in her shoes?"
"You cowardly coward! How come the others didn't wet their pants?" Xie Yutong sneered.
"Enough!" Lu Jianhong kicked over the footstool in a rage, the mahogany furniture slamming against the wall and leaving horrifying cracks.
Xie Yutong also grabbed a celadon vase and smashed it on the ground, yelling, "How could I have married such a coward like you!"
The two had their most intense argument ever.
The sounds of breaking and screaming from downstairs echoed through the villa, but Lu Kangning didn't even flinch in the shadows of the second-floor corridor.
She leaned quietly against the Roman column, a sinister glint in her almond-shaped eyes.
...
With the transfer receipt in his hand, Gu Jing drove to Jinglan Mountain with high spirits to report back.
The scenery outside the window made her unconsciously slow down the car.
The verdant mountains are shrouded in mist, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.
"This place is really nice." She rolled down the car window and took a deep breath of the pure mountain air.
Lu Yao was already waiting in front of the bamboo fence courtyard.
Seeing the voucher in Gu Jing's hand, she smiled slightly, "Well done."
Lunch was a feast made with local ingredients from the mountains. Gu Jing ate to her heart's content, and finally patted her round belly, saying she felt guilty.
As Lu Yao was clearing away the dishes, she suggested, "How about we go check out the school locations? The closest one is in Qixia Town at the foot of the mountain."
Gu Jing's eyes lit up: "That would be perfect!"
She eagerly took out the planning map, saying, "I specifically chose this place because it's conveniently located and nestled between mountains and water."
The three walked down the mountain along the bluestone path and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the town.
In the distance, a wide-open plain was bathed in the afternoon sun, where several children were chasing and playing.
Watching their cheerful figures, a gentle light appeared in Gu Jing's eyes.
To develop this project proposal, she visited seven primary schools in remote mountainous areas, and the dreams sparkling in those bright eyes were deeply imprinted in her heart.
Suddenly, Lu Yao stopped in her tracks.
"You guys go explore the town, I want to have my fortune told here."
She set up her fortune-telling stall on the spot.
Just as Gu Jing was about to offer to keep her company, You Qing took her arm and gently shook her head.
The fact that the Imperial Advisor suddenly cast a divination must mean he sensed an important opportunity.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to leave, a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old skipped past the fortune-telling stall.
