Chapter 73: Huangli
Lao Zhu asked for leave, saying that a relative’s child was getting married and would be picked up tomorrow morning.
Cui Yu looked at the middle-aged man with a sad face. Just before he was about to refuse, he heard the sound of things being broken outside the office.
"Yu Duo, that's a handicraft treasured by the boss. You're messy in your work. You'd better wait until Lao Zhu comes out before repairing it." Qiao Mu looked at the broken porcelain pieces distressedly and silently took a broom to clean them up.
Yu Duo sat down angrily, not daring to move around.
This week, the atmosphere in the office was very stuffy. Even he no longer gossiped unscrupulously. Instead, he had to keep an eye on the expression on Cui Yu's face. Once the situation changes, everyone will suffer together.
But you can't blame him. If you trace back to the reason, it has to be the dinner party that was held when Ren Zhinan and Men Tianwei were sent away a week ago. Mumusa was so drunk that she accidentally said something inappropriate.
Yu Duo whispered: "Sister Mumu, didn't the boss ask us to work overtime to catch the cursed spirits? How come Lao Zhu dares to ask for leave?"
Qiao Mu accidentally caused trouble for Zhang Sheng. He has not been in high spirits these days and is still a little languid. : "Old Zhu wants his sister's daughter to marry. He is still unmarried at his age and has no children. He raises his sister's child as his own daughter. He must go."
Yu Duo is still young and has not considered it yet. He was getting married and was full of curiosity about the wedding. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man in the office looking away and exhaling a long breath.
"It's been a week. You see, Mr. Xun is acting like a normal person. You said he knew that Ni Shisan was a candidate for the evil god, but he didn't know about it... The more I think about it, the more panicked I feel. Under the same roof, we really Let him just..."
Qiao Mu quickly hissed, telling him to shut up.
She could only roughly remember some scenes, and only a few words of dialogue with Ni Shisan before entering the reincarnation. She knew that the other party was very familiar with the evil god, but had never harmed the ghost exorcist family in the Taoist temple.
She had never been able to remember it until Zhang Sheng and the others broke through the ghost zone in the Corridor Bridge area and successfully sealed the road. She was sitting in the office and suddenly her vision went dark, as if she had seen the scene where she was sent to the other side of reincarnation.
Zhang Sheng also said that it took him a long time to recover his memory. It may be that he encountered a certain triggering node and was able to remember those past events.
Even though she was hot-headed after drinking, she still regretted how she dared to reveal her identity in front of men at a party.
She recalled the man's red eyes and his nails digging into his flesh, and she felt scared just thinking about it.
But fortunately, the special agent team leader of the Crime Department was still there, and the man did not go on a killing spree, but let her go without any explanation or questioning.
At this time, Lao Zhu finally walked out of the office with a beautifully packaged gift box in his hand.
Yu Duo raised his eyes and asked: "Lao Zhu, what did you get? No, you gave the boss a gift?"
Yu Duo was surprised that Liu Zhu actually learned how to be human and sneaked into the boss's office with a Gifts, are these industry rules that workers can never escape?
Lao Zhu said helplessly: "It's not a gift, but Mr. Cui gave it to me to take to the wedding for my niece."
Yu Duo's eyes widened: "What, the boss gave it to you?"
This is really rare, Cui Yu This week I have been feeling low pressure on my face. There are only a few people in the office, and the environment cannot be changed. Every day I look up and feel the man's sullen gaze.
This old Zhu actually asked for leave at this critical moment without being scolded, and he could still get gifts back from men. He was really clever.
Qiao Mu had just finished cleaning the floor and looked at the bookshelf that was damaged by Yu Duo. He said politely: "Uncle Zhu, why don't you repair the bookshelf and this porcelain? The boss bought it on the first day he took over the office." It's a pity that I was thrown like this..."
Lao Zhu asked for leave, feeling restless in the middle. Now he finally had a whole day to spare. He was in a good mood and readily agreed: "I will pick up the bride at six o'clock tomorrow morning. If you have time, I will repair the bookshelf later. You can also put the fragments of the handicraft there. As long as they are not lost, they can be repaired."
After hearing this, Yu Duo said: "Old Zhu, you are so awesome! I have never seen anyone like you. A master with such a good craftsmanship, I guess even if the person is broken into pieces, you can put it back together."
Qiao Mu glared at him: "What are you talking about? It's a happy event tomorrow, don't say such depressing words."
The blinds were pulled down again, Cui Yu walked towards the compartment, turned the door handle and walked straight in.
Zhang Sheng sat on the bed and looked through the directory. He subconsciously raised his head when he heard the door open. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he asked, "What have you been talking about with Lao Zhu for so long?"
Cui Yu loosened the first button and sighed. He said in a loud voice: "He wants to marry, but during the interview I saw that he knew the almanac, and he usually has a Buddha statue on his desk. Don't you think it's strange?"
The man has a cautious way of thinking, and he can always capture the details without letting anyone know. Zhang Sheng had suffered losses on these unnoticed issues, so he was also thinking about it.
Even if he casually checked the date tomorrow on the Internet, he would know that it was not an auspicious day to receive a bride. Since Liu Zhu was senior and understood this, there was no way he would not remind his sister before she confirmed the date.
On the day they entered the ghost cave, Lao Zhu and Qiao Mu stayed to watch the door. After asking Qiao Mu, Lao Zhu hadn't stayed in the office all day, saying it was because of personal matters.
But the pocket watch he was asked to repair was repaired the next day.
Zhang Sheng is usually not used to keeping an eye on the daily life of his employees. That is, he only interviews alone when he needs to go out to investigate and find people. He didn't think much about it at first.
But Cui Yu kept frowning until he sat on the edge of the bed and then said slowly: "I made a request to him. He must go to the office to pick up the bride tomorrow."
Zhang Sheng was stunned: "Ah? Do you understand? You have to give me a gift when you go, Lao Zhu is your employee, why should I give you a few red envelopes? You can’t just eat someone else’s wedding banquet for nothing.” Cui
Yu frowned: “I’m not you, of course I know the rules.”
Does it mean that you have just negotiated with Lao Zhu?
That shouldn't be the case. Since when did this person like to go to crowded places to join in the fun? Not just getting married, it was all a ceremony done to earn a reputation and to please relatives and friends. Zhang Sheng was not interested in this.
"I gave the gift to Liu Zhu just now, but it is mine. You will also go tomorrow. Remember to prepare a share of the money."
Zhang Sheng:...?
"When did I say goodbye?" Zhang Sheng couldn't sit still, straightened up and rolled his eyes at Cui Yu: "Please, if you haven't seen the world and want to join in the fun, don't pull me away. I used to be in Liaocheng when I was seventeen or eighteen years old. There are too many matchmakers, and there are weddings and funerals almost every day. I'm tired of seeing them, so I won't go."
Cui Yu didn't allow him to object and insisted, "I'm not familiar with the wedding process and I need an assistant."
Zhang Sheng raised his voice and said, "Oh, if you insist on letting me go, then you have to pay my share! My income is negative now and I am still in debt. I have to spend thousands of dollars at once... I have no money!"
Cui Yu looked at him: "Then you have a better attitude, and I can advance it to you in advance."
Zhang Sheng's stomach twitched, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Damn it, you still have to look aloof when asking for help!
The chaotic scene at the dinner party that day was not caused by him. Who made the man consciously strategize, except Qiao Mu's mouth.
Zhang Sheng was unhappy, closed his eyes and lay down: "I don't care, I am not dead now, the only way to freedom of wealth is blocked by your grandson, if you want me to go, you have to give me money, in addition to giving money to Lao Zhu's members , and my field service expenses..."
Cui Yu unconsciously saw Zhang Sheng sleeping inside. He lay down and squeezed in: "You call this field service."
Zhang Sheng couldn't push the one beside him. With that wall of people, I could only lie on my side, supporting my head with my hands and saying lazily: "That's right, tomorrow's weather forecast says there will be rain. I was sitting in the office making phone calls to check information. Why? Want to go out?"
"I clearly remember that we had a meeting last week and it was arranged for Qiao Mu to sort out materials. You were responsible for cleaning my office." The man glanced at the mess in the bedroom and sneered, "I didn't see you cleaning it. Those who didn't know thought there was a thief in the house."
Zhang Sheng pretended not to hear. He knew the man was just talking casually.
Originally, the two of them were talking about getting back together. After Zhang Sheng felt that his mother was no longer repulsive to men, the burden on his heart became much lighter, and he felt that there was nothing to worry about just letting nature take its course.
But Ren Zhinan happened to hear those words, and it was unclear how this kid would explain the truth to Minister Ren after returning to the headquarters. The outside world rarely talks about the relationship between the Crime Department and other famous ghost exorcist families that are not included in the list, but it is obvious that ghost exorcists and evil gods have been incompatible with each other since ancient times.
The few people in the institute, just talking about Qiao Mu, were deeply persecuted by evil spirits and became half-human and half-ghost. Next is Yu Duo, who is extremely afraid of the evil god from the bottom of his heart. This also made this boy hide in the cave for two hundred years regardless of his family's reputation.
Although Liu Zhu is just a repairman of magic weapons, he should also be from the group that vowed to eliminate evil spirits and help exorcists fight against evil gods. How could these people easily accept the founder of that year to hang out with the candidates for evil gods?
The man must have noticed the reaction of everyone and Zhang Sheng, and his mood was extremely bad.
Zhang Sheng lay down and felt an extra weight on his arms. He lowered his head and saw Cui Yu leaning towards him with a muffled voice.
"...What are you doing?"
Cui Yu slowly raised his eyelids: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
The man's lips were very hot, brushing against his arm, and the distance between them gradually became closer.
Look at each other.
Zhang Sheng hesitated and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I thought the spirit I raised was a bit ugly, but I didn't expect you were really an evil god."
"Are there any options for reincarnation?"
The man's straight nose bridge was close. Close at hand, deep red pupils reflected Zhang Sheng's hesitant face.
"Yeah, I have no choice." Zhang Sheng laughed and said, "It's strange that you are so open-minded. Aren't you afraid that one day I will kill you again?"
The man's eyes trembled slightly, his lips pursed, and his expression became cold. .
Zhang Sheng paused, stretched out his arms to hug the other person, buried his head on the man's chest and sighed: "Ayu... have you ever thought about completely getting rid of the shackles of the evil god and staying in the human world with me. "
I've thought about it before."
The man moved his lips and his arms were slightly stiff.
"But I have tasted the feeling of dying in your hands once."
