Chapter 136: A Windfall, Betrayed by a Female Ghost
The old lady was right.
Although the people in the old building have turned into monsters, they still retain their sanity and human appearance.
Things outside are really weird. If Rongzhen moves out, she may not be as safe as here.
But even if she didn't move, she would have to renovate and reinforce the house, and this would require money, so she needed to make some money as soon as possible.
While thinking about these practical problems, Rongzhen followed the old lady and helped her call her cat.
"Nannan——"
"Nannan——Nannan——"
After calling out again and again, there was still no response from the surroundings.
Rongzhen's mouth was dry from shouting, and she couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Grandma, are you sure this will call your cat back home?"
Why does it feel like it has no effect? The old lady has been shouting for several nights, but there is no sign of the big white cat named Nannan she talked about.
This made Rongzhen start to doubt whether the cat named Nannan really existed?
"Why not? Nannan just ran out to play and forgot to go home. She will definitely come back if you call her more." The old lady said with certainty and did not allow any objection.
However, the fact was that the two of them shouted for most of the night, but the big white cat did not appear at all.
Rongzhen is now in the mutation period and needs sleep to complete the integration of his body. He will soon be unable to hold on and will have to go back.
The old lady was still insisting, but not all the monsters in the building didn't want to sleep. After strongly protesting, the old lady had to stop looking for the cat and was pulled back home by her husband.
They lived on the first floor, opposite Rongzhen's house on a different level.
The butcher's house where the incident happened was downstairs from Rongzhen's. Now the house was empty. When Rongzhen accompanied the old lady to look for the cat, Gui had already moved in.
And the old building did not stop it. Apparently, as Rong Zhen had guessed before, although the monsters living in the old building did not have to worry about the dangers from the outside world, they still had to obey the rule of the jungle.
Now that she has the remaining power of the original owner's grandmother, she doesn't have to worry about her own safety or her house being stolen. But if she can't become stronger in the future, she will sooner or later fall to the bottom of the ghost story world. Even without the monsters attracted by the heroine taking her out on her, her end will not be good.
So, keep working hard!
Just before going to bed, Rongzhen was still cheering herself up.
A second after waking up, she saw a notice from the company saying that she no longer needed to go to work.
In other words, she was fired. The other party only notified her without even giving a reason for the dismissal, and directly gave her an N+10 compensation plan.
Rongzhen's anger instantly subsided and she was deeply moved by this.
Oh my God, the new boss is so generous. She no longer complains behind his back that he is a lovelorn dog.
The dog is so cute that the cat deserves some mercy.
Look, who is as rich as him, who can directly give N+10 severance pay? Even if Rongzhen has not been converted to a regular employee and is just an intern without the N bonus, she can still get a 'breakup fee' of ten months' regular salary.
According to the contract she signed, her starting salary after becoming a regular employee was 8,000, which added up to 80,000 in ten months!
This amount of money was nothing to Rong Zhen in his previous life, but money in this world is still very valuable and has great purchasing power, so eighty thousand is really a lot.
She, an intern who had only worked for one day, could earn 80,000 yuan. It is conceivable that Secretary Yao and others would get even more. I guess those who were originally resentful about this are now happy and have stopped complaining.
Tsk tsk, who says being in love is stupid? Look at the supporting male character, Chen Zhi.
Even if someone looks like a domineering and arrogant love-brained person, it doesn't mean that he or she is a fool with no intelligence.
Look how beautifully this 'breakup' was handled.
Getting up early brings good luck. Rongzhen happily got up, washed her face, brushed her teeth and had breakfast. After that, she saw that it was almost time, so she contacted Secretary Yao and others online.
Secretary Yao was just about to find her. "You've received the compensation, right? Regular employees here are given an extra opportunity to be recommended to other companies. Do you want to discuss it with the company and try to get it?"
Wow, it turns out there's such a huge difference in severance pay between regular employees and interns.
A formal recommendation from the company is certainly better than taking advantage of someone else's recommendation opportunity. After thanking Secretary Yao, Rongzhen hurriedly contacted the company's human resources department.
At that time, she was the only newcomer to the company, which means that among the group of people who left, she was the only intern and the only one who did not have the opportunity to be recommended to other companies.
This requires a reaction, why are they treated differently?
After the reaction, the HR department probably went to consult Chen Zhi, who was a generous person.
It's just an opportunity for recommendation. As long as he doesn't attract attention in front of his childhood sweetheart in the future, adding one more word to the conversation is not a problem at all.
Rongzhen didn't expect that it would be so easy to get the spot. She almost wanted to cheer and wish him and his childhood sweetheart a long and happy life.
But when he thought that Qingmei was the heroine of the novel, he immediately shut his mouth.
Forget it, the heroine will eventually be with the hero. When that time comes, since the male supporting character Shen is so generous, she will at least make fun of him a little.
After I finished this matter, Sister Zhou called me and asked, "Are you free today? I have some questions about the incident at your company last time and I'd like to talk to you about it."
"Ah? You want to ask me about it?" Rong Zhen was worried and had a bad premonition.
Sister Zhou: "Well, that female ghost named Ayan confessed something that is related to you. If you are free today, why not come to the police station? You know the address."
Ah, Rongzhen’s heart finally died.
That Ayan is such a big mouth, she actually betrayed her!
Although I didn't expect her to keep it a secret, she resisted so fiercely at the time, and I thought she was a stubborn person. How could she compromise and confess so quickly?
Is it because of Shen Li?
So it's you, Sister Gui, who is in love.
Rong Zhen secretly complained and said cautiously, "Um, well, Sister Zhou, I was really scared last time. Can I not go?"
Couldn't she just ask over the phone? Her tail had grown a lot longer overnight, and she didn't want to go to the Abnormal Affairs Bureau and get caught, meow.
Sister Zhou was silent for a moment, "It's better to talk in person."
This is what rejection means. It seems the problem is really serious.
Rong Zhen had to be cautious, and thinking of the old building's sheltering properties, she tentatively suggested, "I'm too scared to go to your place. How about you come find me?"
Sister Zhou agreed, but what she said next made Rongzhen's heart skip a beat.
Sister Zhou: "I heard from Xiao Wang that you took that strange last bus home with the captain last night. You looked quite energetic. A murder corpse was found downstairs in your building. You slept up there all night and still looked so energetic. Are you scared?"
Rongzhen: ...Are you doubting her?
As expected of a heroic sister, she is so sharp in looking at problems and can easily detect blind spots.
What can Rongzhen do? She can only try her best to make excuses.
Rong Zhen: "Sister, you also said that you and Captain Zhao rode back together. If he hadn't been there, I might have been dead at that time, and there would be no chance of getting home safely."
Fortunately, Captain Zhao was not a loudmouth like Xiao Wang, and she did not tell anyone about her fabricated reason for getting on the strange last bus out of curiosity.
"And the bones found downstairs. Sister, you may not know the inside story. That child was so pitiful. When I think about him being vindicated and the murderer being brought to justice, I feel so happy. How could I be afraid of it?"
"But the red dress incident is different. I went through almost the entire process at the company back then, and now I've been fired by the new boss. Not only am I terrified, but I'm also so heartbroken I don't even want to leave the house."
At the end of the speech, Rongzhen not only sounded depressed, but also choked twice.
Since she is already in such a miserable state, don't doubt her and force her to move on.
Sister Zhou was speechless this time and just said, "Okay, I'll be right over. You wait for me at home."
Rongzhen hummed with a nasal sound and agreed obediently.
After she hung up, she immediately put down her phone, opened the door, and rushed out, shouting up and down the corridor: "Everyone, pay attention, a friend from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau will be visiting us soon. If you don't want to run into them, find somewhere else to stay."
Although the old building can conceal the strange aura, what if someone happens to be strolling outside at that time and is exposed?
It doesn't matter if he is exposed himself, but it will be bad if it involves Lao Lou and exposes everyone's nest.
So just in case, it is necessary to notify in advance to avoid it.
After the notification, Rongzhen believed that she had done her best. If someone insisted on showing up to cause trouble, she would do everything she could to save herself, including but not limited to sacrificing the other person first.
Sister Zhou came very quickly, probably because she was in a hurry.
This time, he was not driving the black commercial vehicle, but a majestic motorcycle of the same color, which was more suitable for driving on the winding roads of the urban village.
She was still wearing the black uniform, and there was a comrade named Xiao Wang in the back seat of the car. The two of them came together.
Rongzhen was waiting for them downstairs in advance and welcomed them to her small house on the third floor.
We were a little nervous during that time. After all, this building was a haunted place for evil spirits. If the other party saw through something, no one would be safe.
Fortunately, the old building was really good and the neighbors were law-abiding. The dozens of steps did not allow the two people who were secretly investigating to notice anything unusual.
However, after entering the house, the strange layout of the house was revealed.
Because they arrived so quickly, Rongzhen didn't have time to clean up.
"These..." When Xiao Wang came in and saw the room full of yellow talismans, his sensitive radar instantly lit up like a light bulb.
Sister Zhou silently put her hands on her waist, as if she was going to fight if something went wrong.
Rong Zhen twitched her lips and explained, "Grandma believed in this when she was alive. I put it up before she passed away. I felt very close to it, so I didn't take it off."
Xiao Wang was skeptical and asked tentatively, "Then can I tear off one and check it?"
"Please feel free to do as you please." Rong Zhen readily made way for him.
Without waiting for Xiao Wang to make a move, Sister Zhou took the nearest yellow talisman in her hand, felt it carefully, and nodded: "It has some power, it's real."
Rongzhen's eyes flashed.
Her feeling when she first came in was indeed correct. These yellow talismans were not just for decoration, they were all useful.
When you hire someone to renovate the house later, be sure to keep them.
After this incident, Sister Zhou and Xiao Wang's expressions became gentle. Since the thing was real, it meant that Rong Zhen, who was safe and sound in it, was at least not a ghost.
But they would never have thought that although Rong Zhen was not a ghost, she was a monster, an animal monster that was infected and mutated by the demon cat.
And the yellow talisman on the wall was not used to trap and suppress the weirdness in the room, but to prevent other weird monsters in the building from invading and harming her.
This was the backup plan that the original owner's grandmother left for her granddaughter before she passed away, and now it has benefited Rongzhen.
After passing the preliminary inspection, the next step was routine inquiries.
According to Sister Zhou, it was indeed the female ghost Ayan who exposed Rongzhen, saying that she had admitted that she was of the same kind as her and had a treasure that could withstand her harm.
Rongzhen: …………
This sister is really rude, she shook her naked.
