Chapter 061 What does it mean to harm you?
Seeing the guests being eaten one after another by the boss, Lin Xi had only one thought: it hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts to the point where it can't be any worse.
That's 50 or 60 ghosts! Even if I knock on the doors of my neighbors in the community, I can't eat that many in a day. I worked so hard last night, but I only ate 20 or 30.
And now, the boss just opens his big mouth and eats so much!
Lin Xi could only see the boss from behind, so he seemed enormous. But Big Eyes deliberately raised the angle of view, presenting the entire scene to the audience, making their hearts skip a beat:
[What the hell! What kind of hell drawing is this! Don’t be so exaggerated! ]
[Turn the camera over to me! I don't want to look at the undertaker! I want to look at Miss Lin Xi!]
[Sister Xi, my only sister, please quickly ask Ning Ning to come out and take down this boss! ]
It is not an exaggeration to call it a drawing of hell. The boss was freed from his restraints and turned into a demon as tall as two stories. His round belly stuck out in front, and it looked as if his suit was about to burst. His eyes were pitch black without whites, and the scarlet dot of greed in the middle looked extremely real under the lens of his big eyeballs.
What was even more terrible was that the boss reached out and grabbed a little ghost. The little ghost resisted to no avail and looked like a living person after falling into the boss's hands. The boss opened his mouth wide, and it seemed to be stretched to the roots of his ears, as wide as a whale. He bit off the little ghost's head with a snap. The little ghost was not completely dead yet, and slapped the boss's palm with his palm to get free.
Black mist emanated from the headless neck, adding a bit of weirdness.
With this kind of scene, no matter who sees it, their SAN value will drop sharply.
Lin Xi was lucky. Standing behind the boss, she couldn't see his face at all, otherwise she would have been terrified. Lin Xi observed the boss and felt that this guy was really strong. Although he might have the blessing of the funeral home, his size alone was intimidating.
And... Lin Xi's eyelids twitched. She always felt that the boss in front of her seemed to have become a little taller than when he first became as tall as a two-story building.
Is it because ghosts eat more?
The boss wasn't at all quick and efficient in eating his customers. He caught them like he was picking strawberries in a strawberry garden, but his speed was truly lacking. If it were Shen Sang Ning, he would have crushed them into black balls and then slowly devoured them. But the boss, however, was completely devoid of gentlemanly manners. Not only did he eat on the spot, but he wasn't very fast either.
It's also possible that the boss was deliberately extending the time just to play a trick on the guests. The audience in Lin Xi's live studio didn't know whether the guests could stand it or not, but they clearly couldn't stand it:
[I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to go to Sitong's place to take shelter for a while. Wait until this boss is done before calling me.]
[It’s no good, I can only say goodbye to Miss Lin Xi...]
[Ugh…Ugh…Ugh…]
[Don't vomit in the live broadcast room! You'll make me want to vomit too... I can't take it anymore, ugh...]
Lin Xi checked his watch. It had been nearly twenty minutes since the boss had finished eating. Afterward, he seemed to have suddenly deflated like a balloon, returning to his normal height. The meal had clearly taken its toll on him. He pulled a white handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He straightened his clothes with his back to Lin Xi, then turned around and looked at the HR girl and Lin Xi.
After he finished, the cracks on the ground gradually disappeared and returned to their normal state. The stone tablet also returned to normal, but the stone tablet, which no longer had the photo, became blank, as if waiting for a new guest to move in.
The boss's voice became much softer: "You two have done a great job. When facing unreasonable customers, you both fought bravely for the interests of the funeral home. You are both good employees of the funeral home. I will definitely commend you at the staff meeting at the end of the month." He spoke a lot of official words. Lin Xi had been up all night and was not very energetic. She had just looked at his back for a long time and felt a little sleepy.
Now that he started his long speech, Lin Xi yawned even more.
The boss finally finished his official language, and Lin Xi instantly perked up. She subconsciously reached out and clapped: "Good, well said, boss!" Her appearance as a traitor and lackey was clearly revealed.
I really can't blame her, it's a habit. Lin Xi looked at the surprised looks of her boss and the HR lady, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the boss didn't let her feel embarrassed for long. Instead, he praised Lin Xi: "We need energetic employees like you!"
The matter came to an end here. He pointed to the HR lady and said, "You, follow me first." Then he seemed to have thought of something and said to Lin Xi, "Don't worry, although the guests seemed a little scary just now, there are no ghosts in this world."
——No, then what are you?
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The boss thought it was enough and left with the HR lady. There must be something wrong with the boss. He could have just brought the person to the office to talk, but he insisted on scolding them on the way. Although they lowered their voices, Lin Xi still heard the boss's angry words: "What the hell is going on?! How could the customer disappear?! Investigate! Investigate! This matter must be investigated for me! Otherwise, you will pack up and leave next month!"
The HR lady knew what was going on, but she followed the boss like a little wife without saying a word. What else could she do? She was not in the same camp as the boss now. If she went out without thinking, the Mahjong ghost would judge her as violating the contract, and she would die immediately after the rules were triggered.
He who knows the times is a wise man. You are still teaching yourself a lesson here. By the end of the month when the staff meeting comes, you won’t even be able to be the boss!
At this moment, the HR lady had the idea of aiding and abetting the evil... no, the idea of abandoning evil and joining the light.
Perhaps because she'd been scolded by her boss during the day, the HR lady was incredibly proactive. That evening, she even brought two HR colleagues with her. Now, it was a trio of HR ladies. The lady who'd initially turned from the dark side to the light had a hint of feigned grievance on her face as she said to the other two, "If you weren't close, I wouldn't have told you. I just discovered yesterday that the three of them on the night shift were secretly playing mahjong with Lin Xi!"
"I thought such a good thing shouldn't be known only to the three of them. I alone am no match for the three of them, so I called you two over."
"The three of us will play mahjong with Lin Xi, and we'll split the money in half, okay?"
Her two colleagues couldn't resist. Their eyes lit up as they looked at Lin Xi, nodding their heads. "I know, I know you're good to us. I'll give you a little extra money later." At that moment, they didn't care about money anymore; they only cared about Lin Xi. That was a living person. They hadn't eaten a living person in so long they almost couldn't remember. Now that there was a living person in front of them, they were definitely going to have a feast!
Lin Xi was not with them, and was a little far away, so she didn't know what they were talking about. But she still felt the gazes of the two HR ladies looking towards them. Both of them had greedy eyes, wishing to eat Lin Xi on the spot. The HR lady who was a little behind them and was tricked by Lin Xi from the beginning, stretched out her hand and made an "OK" gesture.
When the mahjong game started, the HR lady rushed over with her two colleagues, pushing the original night shift trio aside, and the three of them sat down. Lin Xi was too lazy to test whether it was really her luck at playing cards that was extremely bad, and she let Shen Sang Ning out as soon as the game started.
As soon as Shen Sangning appeared, the two HR ladies who were still immersed in the joy of eating Lin Xi were instantly pulled out of their sweet dreams. Their faces turned pale at this moment, while the lady who was pulled into her camp by Lin Xi yesterday had an excited look on her face, and she shouted: "What are you standing there for? Shuffle the cards!"
"We've always been kind to you, why are you harming us like this?!"
"What do you mean by harming you? If you weren't greedy at all, would I have called you here?" The young lady sneered, "It's clearly your own greed that harmed you. Don't put the blame on me."
"you!"
The two HR girls who were tricked by her wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight, but Lin Xi knew that their fight was fake and they were just using it as an excuse to run away. Lin Xi smiled and said, "Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth, don't quarrel, if there is anything, wait until you finish playing mahjong before you talk."
Is there still time to finish playing mahjong? The two young ladies opened their eyes wide, with a desperate determination on their faces. They wanted to unite to deal with Shen Sangning, but before they started to move, they were pressed down on the seat by Shen Sangning and could not move. They looked at the traitor who was happily shuffling the cards and realized one thing: if they resisted, they would most likely die, but playing mahjong, even if they lost, they should be fine for the time being.
They had no choice but to play mahjong with Lin Xi. In this game of mahjong, they were completely defeated and left penniless. Even if they added up next month's salary, they still couldn't pay it back. Under the gloating eyes of the HR lady who was complicit in the evil, they signed the humiliating contract.
At this moment, Uncle Li, who was the first to be tricked by Lin Xi, suddenly felt that he was not the most unlucky person.
The HR lady also enjoyed the pleasure of cheating others.
In order to avoid being the most unlucky person, the two new HR ladies also started to recruit others. Then one by one, two by two, three by two, plus a few colleagues who came to cause trouble during the day, until the fourth day of this month, when Lin Xi received the notice of the staff meeting tomorrow——
Excluding the boss and himself, there were a total of forty-three employees remaining in the funeral home. Forty of them had already signed contracts with Lin Xi, and Sister Sun and Xiao Zhao were also doomed. Only three cafeteria employees had not signed the contract. It wasn't because they were unwilling to surrender, but because they didn't know the others well.
There is no forgiveness for someone who accidentally spills his own food while tilting the wok while serving rice.
