Chen Jiaolan smiled gloatingly, as if explaining something to everyone: "I've heard that many real estate companies actually rely on loan leverage to make money. Once their cash flow goes wrong, the consequences can be disastrous! Of course, I'm not a professional, and whether they go bankrupt depends on whether they can weather this storm."

Other colleagues were initially envious of Park Jung-eun's family background, but now that this has happened, they are all relieved.

People who used to greet me warmly are all unusually cold today.

Park Jung-eun was trembling with anger, but she couldn't immediately change these people's attitude towards her.

Calm down, please stay calm. Your husband is so capable, he'll definitely be able to handle these problems smoothly.

She repeatedly reassured herself, but finally couldn't help but speak up: "Have you all finished your work? If not, it's a serious problem to be openly chatting and gossiping here during work hours. I'll report it to the director later."

Upon hearing that they would be sued, most workers immediately became obedient.

They stopped talking and returned to their posts.

The entire office hall was finally much quieter.

After finishing her morning broadcast, Park Jung-eun immediately turned on her phone and searched for news related to her company. Public opinion had been clearly under control; most netizens didn't believe in supernatural events and thought it was a deliberate publicity stunt—the person behind it all simply wanted to boost her husband's real estate company's brand to facilitate house sales.

This is clearly a public relations tactic, shifting the focus from the paranormal claims to business operations. While this might slightly damage their image, it's the quickest way to suppress the original "unscientific" claims.

The public relations department also began spending heavily to remove the trending topics. After the trending topics were removed, they arranged for people to stir up trouble online, claiming that the paranormal event was entirely the work of a rival company.

Because the luxury housing project their company is developing is so good, once it's completed, it will definitely trigger a buying frenzy. They can also use this project to advertise for the company and prove their professional strength in this industry.

This practice also attracted envy from competitors, who then began spreading rumors and slander. Unfortunately, netizens managed to uncover relevant audio evidence.

All the evidence suggests that this paranormal event was a hoax.

Moreover, netizens also discovered that several rival companies had recently been involved in shoddy construction projects, and they urgently needed to find competitors to take the blame, which is why they created this incident.

This public relations campaign was very cleverly orchestrated, and most uninformed netizens believed it. They even turned around and supported Zhou Mingyu Real Estate Company, which was "framed," saying that they did not believe in feng shui and would still buy the luxury homes offered by their project.

The negative news about this company was so easily suppressed. In less than two days, the news coverage dropped significantly.

Seeing that the crisis was successfully brought under control and the stock price did not fluctuate much, Zhou Mingyu's mood improved slightly.

That day, Park Jung-eun was washing her hands after using the restroom. After washing her hands, she was about to put them under the dryer when she looked up and saw a figure reflected in the mirror.

Park Jung-eun was startled!

The figure that appeared in the mirror was terrifying. Its face was injured, and its eyes, which were like black holes, were filled with resentment. It was staring at her with a strange smile!
Park Jung-eun didn't have much of an impression of this person at first.

She was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and stood frozen in place, trembling.

Seeing the other person's disheveled appearance, Dong-eun smiled with great satisfaction: "You seem to be afraid of seeing me? And judging from your reaction, you must have recognized me, right? Long time no see, Jing-eun."

"Ahhh... Help!" Park Jung-eun screamed in terror, but her cries seemed to only echo inside the bathroom and didn't reach the outside at all!

Dong-eun smiled in the mirror, slowly crawled out of the mirror, and moved little by little to her.

The two were so close that Park Jung-eun could even smell the burning flesh on the other's skin.

She remembered the smell very clearly—it was the same smell that emanated when she used a hair straightener to perm someone's hair back then.

The other person's hands and face were covered with scars from the hair straightener she had painstakingly burned off.

"Why are you silent now? You used to say insulting things to me whenever you saw me, but after all these years, you're not saying anything anymore? Have you forgotten?"

"After being a glamorous and popular celebrity host for so long, do you forget the terrible things you did to me?"

"But that's normal. Humans usually don't remember things that are unimportant to them. Bullying me and driving me to my death are just trivial matters to you, so it seems reasonable that you react this way."

Dong En smiled, a strange smile blooming on her face, which looked particularly terrifying.

"You...you bitch! So what if you become a ghost? You can't hurt me! At most, you can only scare me! If you could really hurt me in your current state, you wouldn't just be standing there! I guessed it!"

Despite being terrified inside, Park Jung-eun suddenly calmed down on the surface.

Perhaps because she was extremely nervous, she was actually calmer than usual at this moment.

He was just a guy I bullied to the point of suicide. How could he possibly come back for revenge after he died?

So this thing has at most changed its form of existence; it can't really harm itself.

Having figured this out, Park Jung-eun became arrogant again, even reverting to her previous haughty and superior demeanor.

"You've become a ghost and are coming to take revenge on me? You piece of trash, what can you do..." Park Jung-eun hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly felt a slap across her face. The burning pain told her that it was the girl opposite her who had slapped her.

Dong En's smile remained unchanged, and he even deliberately raised his hand again, as if to slap her again: "I'm not hitting you because I can choose the way I want to retaliate, not because I can't retaliate against you. If you think that this means I can't hurt you, then you're thinking too simply."

Park Jung-eun was truly terrified now. She frantically retreated until she reached the wall, where she was blocked and had nowhere to go.

Dong En approached step by step: "This scene is just like when you bullied me back then, except now the bullies and the bullied have switched places—now I'm the one bullying you. It's quite ironic when you think about it."

Park Jung-eun was terrified, but even so, she couldn't help but show her anger when the other person spoke.

She's just a weakling I bullied back then. So what if she becomes a ghost? Did you think you could bully her now that she's a ghost?

The weak will always be weak. Even if she becomes a ghost, don't even think about bullying her!

The thought, once it surfaced, immediately instilled boundless courage in Park Jung-eun. She raised her hand and swiftly slapped him. (End of Chapter)
