Chapter 71 Picking up Lao Gong from get off work
Half an hour ago, in a private room of a top restaurant in the center of A.
Ji Yunzhou was sitting leisurely in a velvet armchair.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, and in front of him was a newly finalized cooperation agreement with a staggering amount of money.
Sitting opposite him was Mr. Lin, who was known in the industry for being difficult to deal with. However, at this moment, his face was beaming and he praised Ji Yunzhou repeatedly.
"Boss Ji, you're young and promising! This cooperation proposal really resonates with me!"
President Lin raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have another drink for our cooperation!"
Ji Yunzhou raised his glass obediently, with a modest smile on his lips, but his heart was calm.
What kind of situation hasn’t Ji Yunzhou seen?
This level of commercial flattery was not even a small splash in his long life.
After two glasses of wine and a lively atmosphere, Mr. Lin's cell phone suddenly rang.
Mr. Lin glanced at the caller ID, and the drunken look on his face was instantly replaced by a sobriety that could be called 'flattering'.
"Ouch! My dear wife!"
He answered the phone, his voice so sweet it could kill you: "We're talking about work, really about work... Yes, yes, with President Ji, that amazing President Ji... It's going smoothly, very smoothly... huh?
Checking on me? Oh my god! How could that be possible! I swear! There were only two grown men in the room, me and Mr. Ji! It was purely business! Really pure!
Mr. Lin covered the microphone, lowered his voice, and had a smile on his face, as if the person on the other end of the phone could see it.
Ji Yunzhou listened quietly beside him.
After finally hanging up the phone, General Manager Lin breathed a sigh of relief, probably because he felt a little embarrassed in front of Ji Yunzhou.
Or perhaps it was because of the alcohol, he came closer and asked with a somewhat teasing tone of someone who has experienced it:
"Boss Ji, you're so outstanding, young, handsome, and rich. Are you married? Do you have a wife to look after you? If not, I'll introduce you to some good ones!"
Ji Yunzhou's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.
Wife?
Of course he does.
But his wife's gender is different from other people's wives.
Thinking of Gu Yuan, Ji Yunzhou's face was filled with a doting and helpless smile.
But before the smile could fully develop, it was replaced by another emotion.
The children went to catch ghosts.
I don’t know how it was handled?
Although Gu Yuan had inherited his true teachings, he was more than capable of dealing with ghosts that were hundreds of years old.
But those are just the surface. He has a quick temper. What if he encounters an evil ghost who has no moral principles and gets irritated?
I have placed countless life-saving restrictions on him, but if he gets bumped or bruised, won't I be the one who feels hurt?
"Mr. Ji?" Mr. Lin asked again when he saw that he didn't answer.
Ji Yunzhou came back to his senses, put down his wine glass, and put on a professional smile again on his face, with a natural and boastful tone:
"Mr. Lin, you're joking. Of course I have a wife. My wife... well, she's very capable."
"Oh? Really? Which daughter is so lucky?" Mr. Lin asked curiously.
Ji Yunzhou just smiled without saying anything, and hummed in his heart: Whose? Mine.
It’s so powerful, it can catch ghosts and scare you to death.
After a few more pleasantries, Ji Yunzhou used the excuse that he had a meeting tomorrow and successfully ended the social event.
After sending the driver away, he stood alone in the cool night breeze at the door of the restaurant, and the worry that had been suppressed just now resurfaced.
He took out his cell phone, and the screen was so clean it was depressing.
No new messages, no missed calls.
This little heartless guy!
You didn’t even bother to report that you were safe after you finished the job?
Whether dead or alive, just scream!
Our Lord Ghost King's mood began to become very bad, and a low pressure that kept strangers away was faintly emanating from his body.
That's why I took the initiative to send a message to Gu Yuan to complain.
Didn't message him back.
Gu Yuan opened the address book and called him directly.
Just when Ji Yunzhou was considering whether to use his spiritual sense to sweep the entire city to find the person, the cell phone in his hand rang.
Ji Yunzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and picked up the phone, but before he could speak, he could speak.
Gu Yuan's clear voice came from the other side, and his words were concise and to the point, with only two words:
"Where?"
Under normal circumstances, Ji Yunzhou would inevitably say a few harsh words.
But at this moment, listening to his voice, all the worries and dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.
Forget it, you still have to give face to a man when he is out there.
Especially the one at home, it has a thin skin and easily gets frizzy, so you have to stroke it along the fur.
So, Gu Yuan on the other end of the phone heard Ji Yunzhou's drawn-out, slightly aggrieved voice:
"Wife, why are you calling me now?"
The voice was sticky, with a hint of laziness and coquettishness that was unique to drinking. It penetrated the radio waves and hit Gu Yuan's eardrums.
“!!!”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yuan was walking out of Xingfu Community.
When he heard Ji Yunzhou's voice that could revive someone to death, his hands trembled and he almost threw his phone away.
grass!
Why does Ji Yunzhou speak in such a tone!
Is it disgusting? Is it corny?
You are so old, yet you still act like a spoiled child in this voice!
Gu Yuan's ears began to heat up uncontrollably. He subconsciously looked around and saw only a few passers-by.
Then he lowered his voice and said into the microphone in an angry tone:
"Talk nicely! Why are you calling me wife? Aren't you disgusting?"
"Why can't I scream?"
Ji Yunzhou's voice sounded even more aggrieved, accompanied by a faint sigh, as if Gu Yuan was a scumbag who refused to admit his mistakes even after putting on his pants:
"I'm calling it by my rightful name, it's natural and legitimate. How can you despise me? Did you meet some wild ghost out there? Is its voice better than mine? Or is its face more handsome than mine?"
"Impossible! I'm the most handsome!" Ji Yunzhou concluded with a firm tone.
Gu Yuan: "..."
So shameless.
Are there any wild ghosts?
Can a wild ghost be as dramatic as you, old man?
A wave of heat surged from the base of his neck to his cheeks, and Gu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to jump up and down.
In the end, he could only grind his back teeth and squeeze out the words: "Shut up! Where are you spending your time drinking and partying again? I can smell the alcohol on you even through the phone!"
"It was just a social occasion, so I just had two drinks."
Ji Yunzhou readily changed the subject, his tone returning to normal, but the intimacy remained:
"I just sent a client off. How about you, honey? Did you finish catching ghosts? Are you hurt? Is that ghost ugly? Did it scare my dear wife?"
A series of questions came at him, especially the word "kiss my dear wife", which made Gu Yuan's face, which had just cooled down, burn again.
"I've caught them all! They're so weak, they'll be reincarnated after just a little persuasion!"
Gu Yuan stiffened his neck, trying to make his voice sound impressive:
"What kind of injury could I possibly have? Do you think I'm still the same half-baked person I was two years ago?"
"Yes, yes, my wife is the best. She is even better than me."
Ji Yunzhou could imagine Gu Yuan's proud little peacock look from the phone call, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Much better than me."
Gu Yuan raised his chin proudly: "Of course."
He then asked, "Stop talking nonsense! Send me your location. I'll come find you when I'm done here."
"Are you coming to pick me up from get off work?"
Ji Yunzhou's voice instantly brightened, filled with genuine surprise:
"That's great! I knew you loved me the most, my dear! It's so lonely to go home alone after get off work."
The veins on Gu Yuan's forehead jumped.
Lonely as hell!
This old ghost can teleport back home with just a thought!
Why are you pretending to be lonely and cold in the middle of the night with him?
His hands are itching to fight ghosts!
"Stop talking nonsense! Position yourself!"
After Gu Yuan finished yelling, he decisively hung up the phone.
If he continued listening, he was afraid that he would not be hurt by the evil ghost, but would be hurt internally by his own old ghost.
He looked at his phone and took several deep breaths to suppress the heat on his face.
Soon, Ji Yunzhou’s WeChat location was sent over.
PS: [Poor little cat emoticon] Wife, I’m hungry, I want to eat.
Gu Yuan looked at the expression pack that was extremely inconsistent with his temperament, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Eat, eat, eat, just eat!
A thousand-year-old ghost can’t starve to death!
Although he was complaining madly in his mind, his body honestly walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.
