Chapter 963 Harvesting Ghosts
Hao Zhiwei first exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhang He, and then went straight to the point and asked, "By the way, what has your President Zhao been busy with recently? Why can't I contact him?"

Zhang He's face changed when he heard this and he said, "You haven't heard about him?"

Hao Zhiwei's heart suddenly sank, and he asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Zhang He shook his head and said, "He is ill... I heard it is quite serious. He is just in his early 40s. We all feel sorry for him."

Hao Zhiwei didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so he said in confusion, "It shouldn't be like this? I see Zhao Xing is in good physical condition. I remember he always keeps the habit of getting up early to run. How can he get sick all of a sudden?"

Zhang He sighed and said, "Who says it's not true? President Zhao is recognized in our unit as having a good physique. When he was young, he served as a tank soldier for eight years. His physique is really amazing. Even guys like us who are ten years younger than him can't compare to him! But who can predict a person's fate?"

After all, this place was not owned by Hao Zhiwei and Zhang He, so it was not appropriate to talk about Zhao Jie here, so the two of them hurriedly ended the topic. It was not until the drinking party was over that Hao Zhiwei grabbed Zhang He and asked, "Do you know what exactly is wrong with Zhao Xing?"

Zhang He thought for a moment and said, "I heard it's advanced liver cancer..."

If it was only Zhao Jie who was sick, Hao Zhiwei could still deceive himself and say that it was all just a coincidence. However, he later found out from his friends that several people except himself who were in the KTV room yesterday had health problems to varying degrees.

Afterwards, Hao Zhiwei thought about it carefully and realized that he was indeed the only one who had not played rock-paper-scissors with Xu Siying, while others had played it more or less, especially the guest of honor Zhao Jie who had played it the most...

After this incident, Hao Zhiwei found that he could no longer look at Xu Siying the same way as usual. Her every word and smile seemed so strange, and every sentence she said to him seemed to have a deeper meaning. In the end, he could no longer be alone with Xu Siying in the same room.

After the Monday meeting, Hao Zhiwei just returned to the office and found Xu Siying followed him in. He immediately asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Siying smiled and said, "Look at what you said. You are the department head and I am the deputy department head. I came to your office to report work matters!"

At this time, the office door was wide open, and colleagues outside were busy with their work. Hao Zhiwei knew that it would be bad if he acted too aggressively at this time, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Is there anything that can't be said at the regular meeting? I have a conference call with the chairman in a while, so let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xu Siying didn't buy it at all. She said with a gloomy face, "I heard that Zhao Xing is sick? Did Manager Hao go to visit him?"

Hao Zhiwei was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked in panic, "What... do you mean?"

Xu Siying smiled and said, "It's nothing... I just want to remind Manager Hao that next time there is a drinking party like this, remember to call me."

After Xu Siying finished speaking, she didn't wait for Hao Zhiwei to react. She just sneered at him and turned away, leaving the frightened Hao Zhiwei standing in the office in a daze...

In the company's women's restroom, a somewhat timid voice said, "If you don't want to go to such occasions in the future, don't go. Why hurt them?" At this time, another somewhat excited voice said, "Why don't you want to go... What a good opportunity to harvest ghosts! I have always been a fair person. At that time, it was agreed that if they lost a game, they would give me a year of life. They should accept the loss."

"They thought you were joking..." the cowardly voice retorted in a low voice.

"A joke? Are they kidding when they want to get you drunk? Are those people who look down on you and bully you at every turn a joke?" another voice asked back coldly.

The cowardly voice begged as soon as it heard it, "Please leave, I am just an ordinary person, and the people around me are also ordinary people, please don't hurt others like this, okay?"

Another voice disapproved after hearing this, "I didn't take the initiative to harm them. This was their own choice... Did you see the look in Hao Zhiwei's eyes when he looked at you? It was a look of deep fear. I can assure you that you can walk sideways in this department in the future, and those people will never dare to bully you easily again."

"We are all colleagues... It's not a matter of who is bullying whom. I beg you, please stop hurting others, okay?"

"Tsk... It's no wonder you're bullied because of your soft personality. You're really a hopeless case."

Suddenly, there was a sound of something being knocked over outside. The two people talking suddenly became silent. Xu Siying immediately opened the door and walked out of the toilet cubicle. She found that there was no one outside. Until she saw a MAC black tube lipstick lying quietly next to the sink...

She walked over and looked at the lipstick shade, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she said, "Carrot color...it looks like a young lady has discovered our secret."

========
After the last lesson, Meng Zhe no longer dared to let Song Jiang run around. Apart from going to and from the library on time every day, he would occasionally go out for a drink and eat some skewers with Gu Hao and Deng Kai... Although his life was dull, it was also quite comfortable.

That night, after they had finished their meal at the night market, Deng Kai was going to ask his driver to pick them up, but Song Jiang saw that the moon was quite big tonight, so he suggested that they take a walk first to digest the food before going back...

Unexpectedly, when they just arrived near a scenic lake, they saw a smartly dressed young lady running straight towards the lake. Under normal circumstances, it would be very common to go for a walk by the lake early in the morning or evening, and it was not worthy of attracting the attention of Song Jiang and others, but this young lady had a dull expression, as if she had not woken up yet.

Although Song Jiang didn't know what was wrong with the other party, he knew that something might happen if he left it alone, so he didn't think much about it, left Gu Hao and Deng Kai behind and followed.

Deng Kai even teased him when he saw this, saying, "I didn't expect Song Jiang, who is usually quiet, to be so brave when he sees a pretty girl!"

Gu Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you think everyone is like you? Song Jiang probably noticed that there was something wrong with that girl, so he followed her and saw what happened first."

As they were talking, the three of them followed the girl to the lake. Song Jiang wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but before he could get close, he saw the girl throw her bag into the lake, then without saying a word, she climbed over the fence by the lake and jumped into the lake with a splash...
