I am the one running the game

Chapter 709: No good banquet, it is better to catch dead ghosts as food

"Master Lu, Boss Han has successfully reconciled with Master Ling. He is planning to hold a banquet at Zui Xiang Ju today, and asked me to invite you to attend the banquet." As soon as Shi Cheng arrived, he got straight to the point.

As for the remuneration paid by the other party, Lu Xingshi also received it and transferred it to him in the morning.

"I won't go. I know what Boss Han is thinking. I will be an eyesore then." Lu Xingshi refused without hesitation.

The main reason was that he had left some tricks on Ling Zheng before and the other party had discovered it. If he went over there again now, the situation would be very embarrassing.

Besides, it was just a meal and Lu Xingshi could afford it.

The other party thought that even if he couldn't win him over, he could at least gain some favor.

The person Han Yuan really wants to win over is Ling Zheng. Previously, he thought that the other party was a young man, but judging from what happened last night, it may not be so easy for Han Yuan to control him with sugar-coated bullets.

Seeing that Lu Xingshi refused, Shi Cheng naturally did not force it: "Then I will text Boss Han back."

In fact, he didn't really want Lu Xingshi to go there. The main reason was that if Lu Xingshi was really taken away by Han Yuan, what would he do?
He finally got a hold of a powerful person, but was snatched away by someone else, and he was not even as good as the other person. This is really infuriating.

Fortunately, Lu Xingshi did not get involved, which showed that he did not have much affection for Han Yuan and it was just a deal.

"By the way, Master, are you free today? Someone is looking for me again." Shi Cheng said this after sending a text message to Han Yuan.

"What's going on? Is anyone dead?" Lu Xingshi asked casually.

"Not yet, but it will be soon, but..." Shi Cheng hesitated to speak.

"Just what? Don't stop talking halfway. I hate riddlers the most." Lu Xingshi could see the other party's dilemma, but he didn't care.

"Something happened to a worker at a friendly company's construction site, and I'm afraid we can't offer much compensation." Shi Cheng's meaning was simple: there was no money.

In his opinion, asking a master like Lu Xingshi for help would cost at least one million.

Business partners will definitely not pay such a large sum of money for the workers. If it is 30,000 or 50,000, then they can grit their teeth and pay, but millions of dollars are not even within their consideration.

So the one who came to him for help was not a friendly competitor, but the worker's co-workers.

"The rich will get a fixed amount of damage, while the poor will get a percentage of damage. I want 30% of his wealth, which is not too much, right?" Lu Xingshi said.

He was free anyway, and saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. It just so happened that the life ghost could give him the nourishment to become a great sage.

Of course, if he encounters a fortune teller who is playing tricks on him, after Lu Xingshi catches him, he can also perform an autopsy and even obtain the other party's cultivation techniques.

The worst situation is that the other party is really sick. Then Lu Xingshi will have no choice but to get the minimum payment.

"It's not too much. Master, you are so kind." Shi Cheng praised hurriedly.

"Tell me what the situation is." Lu Xingshi asked.

"He had a high fever and was in a coma. He had a rash all over his body and was delirious during the coma."

"He was previously in the intensive care unit and is now receiving conservative treatment."

"And the workers who had contact with him all had the same nightmare, being locked in a fire and burning, then sweating all over and exhausted when they woke up."

"And the symptoms are getting worse. If they continue, they may develop into the same symptoms." Shi Cheng briefly introduced the situation.

"Is it contagious and lethal?" Lu Xingshi touched his chin.

The so-called conservative treatment actually means giving up, it’s just a nicer way of saying it.

"Let's go and take a look. It's not far from us." Lu Xingshi said.

"It's not far, just an hour's drive. Do you want to set off now?" Shi Cheng asked.

"Let's go." Lu Xingshi agreed immediately.

The two got in the car, and Lu Xingshi asked at this time: "By the way, how did you get in touch with those workers? Through the phone or in person?"

"They were squatting outside my house all night last night, and I happened to meet them when I went back home." Shi Cheng said they met.

After all, in this era, phone bills are not cheap, and mobile phones are not affordable for ordinary people. Instead, it is more cost-effective to ride a bicycle.

Lu Xingshi glanced at the rash on Shi Chen's skin.

"Then you have to be careful. It might be some infectious disease." Lu Xingshi said slowly.

This made Shi Cheng's expression change slightly. He followed Lu Xingshi's gaze and saw the rash on his skin. He couldn't help but feel cold in his heart: "Another misunderstanding???"

"It's possible. After all, it's not easy to come across dirty things. If they are really everywhere, how do you think everyone can live a peaceful life?" Lu Xingshi told the truth.

This is indeed not a lie. The Federation as a whole is still controlled by the human race. The combined share of fortune tellers and fortune ghosts is estimated to be less than one hundred thousandth of the total.

Unless it is a powerful existence that can cause irreparable damage to a state or a region, however, this is definitely a very small part, and it is estimated that there are not many in total.

Otherwise, how could ordinary people be in charge of the federation? It would have long been the world of fortune tellers and fortune tellers.

"Then Master Lu, can you solve it?" Shi Cheng felt a little helpless. Why was it always different from what he imagined? "What do you think?" Lu Xingshi rolled his eyes: "I am a fortune teller, not a doctor. If it is really an infectious disease, I can only let the hospital solve it."

If Lu Xingshi conducts research, he can indeed develop an effective medicine, but there is a problem.

That is, he does not have the relevant certificates, and it is illegal to practice medicine without a license, not to mention that the special medicine he developed has not undergone clinical trials, so it is easy for someone to catch him.

You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.

This is not the original world of martial arts, immortals, or the wild world; there aren’t so many particulars here.

There is a word in modernization called procedural legality. Once someone wants to cheat him, it is easy to use this matter to ruin his living environment.

As for saying that this is saving people? Lu Xingshi has no habit of sacrificing himself to save others. He is willing to lend a hand within his ability, but it is impossible to do anything beyond his ability.

"So you'd better hope that it's something dirty, or if it's really a new infectious disease, I may not die, but you will be in danger." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

This made Shi Cheng's heart sink to the bottom.

If he had known there would be so much trouble, he should not have gone back last night, but instead followed Lu Xingshi to squeeze in.

The reason why he agreed was naturally to make a name for himself. As a businessman, reputation is also indispensable.

Especially in this era, if you want to recruit people, you must not only have sufficient assets, but also have channels to expand your reputation to match.

However, I didn't expect that being greedy for small gains would lead to big consequences.

"Next time you have to investigate it thoroughly. If this kind of inexplicable situation happens again, don't come to me if it happens again." Lu Xingshi warned the other party.

If there really is a fate ghost, then it would be mutually beneficial. But if not, Lu Xingshi would have made a wasted trip and wasted his time, which is not cost-effective.

If Shi Cheng behaves like this again next time, Lu Xingshi doesn't mind changing a partner.

Now his reputation has actually spread. If Shi Cheng is not able to do it, he can still contact Han Yuan. The other party will definitely not mind serving him.

More importantly, in terms of network of personal connections, Han Yuan's is much larger than Shi Cheng's.

It was only because Lu Xingshi saw that Shi Cheng, even if he had no merit, had worked hard and was still valuable, that he continued to cooperate with him, otherwise he would have kicked him out long ago.

"Master Lu, don't worry. I will come back to you after I have done my research next time." Shi Chen took advantage of Lu Xingshi's actions to expand his network and increase his reputation to make profits for himself, but the price he paid was naturally to do things for Lu Xingshi.

He had no experience the first time, and with Ling Zheng there, the mistake was not a big one.

But now it's the second time, and he hasn't figured out a lot of things. Even if Lu Xingshi doesn't ask Shi Chen to collect all the information, he should at least confirm whether it's true or false.

Instead of being like now, where we can’t even be sure whether it’s true or false.

"Just remember it." Lu Xingshi did not continue to condemn or express dissatisfaction. To him, no matter how beautiful the words were, it would be useless. It still depended on how it was done next time.

If someone just talks but doesn't actually change, Lu Xingshi will choose to change someone.

It is true that three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere on the street.

...

"How about it, Master Ling? You just need to register your name here. You don't have to come to the company to punch in every month. Your salary and benefits will be deposited into your card."

"Villas, luxury cars, beauties, you can choose whatever you want." Han Yuan said half-jokingly under the influence of alcohol.

To win over someone, of course you have to give real money instead of just making empty promises. It's okay to make empty promises to your employees, but to make empty promises to Ling Zheng, he must be crazy.

There was a gleam of light in Ling Zheng's eyes. He had to admit that he was indeed a little tempted. Han Yuan gave him a lot.

However, he shook his head: "Boss Han is very sincere, but it's not enough."

"The so-called luxury cars and mansions are a later story. I just want to avenge my grandfather now, so I won't consider these for now."

The meaning is very clear. What's the point of giving money? His purpose is to make someone pay the price.

"Well... killing people is against the law." Han Yuan smiled bitterly. It's not that he didn't dare, but mainly because not only he but also other people were using it. It was a shared shit pot.

"There's no need to kill them. It's OK to let them receive the legal punishment they deserve."

"It's a pity that I can't do it, otherwise I would have sent them to jail long ago." Ling Zheng said with a sneer.

The reason they couldn't be sent in was naturally because this group of people were valuable and had someone protecting them. Han Yuan was one of the people protecting this group of people.

"Indeed, this kind of evil person needs to be punished by law." Han Yuan looked different, choosing between the danger of offending others and the opportunity to win over Ling Zheng.

If Ling Zheng really said that he would accept his solicitation after helping him, he would abandon that group of people without hesitation.

But now the other party is only giving him an opportunity to win him over, whether it will succeed is another matter, so he will hesitate.

Judging from the other party's tone, he just wants to use me, and the success rate of winning me over is not high, so I need to further test Ling Zheng's true thoughts.
