The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 211 After the War (3)

The room fell into silence. Qian Xiaoyi and Inuyama Heita were both waiting for Suzuki's reaction. Even though Suzuki was the one who could keep a straight face even when squeezing a cockroach in his hand, as a girl, if she suddenly saw a greasy fat guy appear in front of her, she would be scared and scream, right?

"..." Suzuki looked forward silently without any reaction.

Ah Jian was very surprised. He waved his hand in front of her eyes and said, "Are you scared silly by me? Hey, can you hear me?"

Qian Xiaoyi exclaimed, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, and said, "Ajian, try touching her."

"This... isn't good, right?" Ah Jian started to hesitate: "Brother Yi, well... I have never done such an intimate thing with a girl, and I already have someone I like..."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "What are you thinking about? Just touch her face, try it now."

"Mr. Suzuki, you heard it, right? This is what Brother O asked for." Ajian stretched out his hand, touched Suzuki's face, and then went straight through.

"Eh?!" Ajian was stunned for a moment and said, "What's going on? Can't Suzuki see me?"

As a ghost, Ajian must also abide by the basic laws. If he is not in the ghost realm, then if he wants to influence the living, he must first establish "contact". If they can't even see him, there is no need to talk about contacting the other party.

Inuyama Heita was surprised and asked, "What's going on? Suzuki-san? Didn't Otoko's ritual work?"

Suzuki asked curiously, "So there is a ghost named 'Ajian' in this office?"

Qian Xiaoyi was amazed, and walked around Suzuki, looking at her. Logically speaking, Suzuki had encountered those things yesterday, and her cognition had changed, so she should have been an ordinary person, but her reaction at this moment was just like before, with no change at all.

Qian Xiaoyi was quite confident in his magic and it couldn't be his mistake, so there was only one possibility.

"I see~" Qian Xiaoyi said curiously: "Is this what you call talent?"

Suzuki adjusted his glasses and nodded: "Yes."

Inuyama Heita was confused and asked, "What happened? What does Suzuki's talent... mean?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? Her insulated physique has evolved again. If before, she was still immune to all evil from a materialist's perspective, as she didn't know cognitive theory and had never seen any supernatural phenomena, then now, she has evolved to the point where no matter how the other party tries to induce her, she can completely ignore those things."

Suzuki said confidently: "Although I don't have any talent in the so-called 'psychic', I am very confident in 'logical thinking'. For me, even if I see those supernatural phenomena, I can think of them as hallucinations in the human brain, not real things. According to cognitive theory, I can completely deny their existence, just like before."

Inuyama Heita scratched his head: "If it's the same as before... then why does Suzuki-san still have to work part-time? Isn't it that he can't help much?"

"No, you're wrong, Heitaro." Qian Xiaoyi stared at Suzuki with interest. He said, "As a person who knows the existence of supernatural phenomena but can completely ignore them, Miss Suzuki can be said to be very useful, just like taking Ono Haruna out yesterday. When we are in the ghost realm, she can do some things that are inconvenient for us to do on our behalf."

Suzuki raised her lips and said, "That's right. In the office, Inuyama-san is responsible for assisting Mr. Qian in the supernatural field. Then I can be responsible for the real-life assistance in the commissions. We each have our own responsibilities and there will be no conflicts." Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Because of your insulating physique, you don't have to worry about the dangers brought by most commissions. You even thought of this, didn't you? You are really worthy of being Miss Suzuki. There is no reason to refuse."

He suddenly remembered that after the Lucky Mutual Aid Society incident was over, Suzuki also came to the office alone and found a part-time job as an accountant here. It is still the same now. This girl is really amazing.

Suzuki asked, "So, can I become an employee of the firm?"

"You're most welcome." Qian Xiaoyi said, "The treatment is the same as Heitaro's. There is no fixed salary. I take 5%-20% of each order based on the level of participation. Is that okay?"

Suzuki shook his head and said, "No, I will take the highest 20% commission on every order."

Qian Xiaoyi looked at her: "Reason?"

Inuyama Heita also looked at Suzuki, curious why she was so confident. He didn't even dare to make such a request.

Suzuki held up three fingers and said, "There are three reasons. First, judging from what happened yesterday, if it wasn't a very difficult commission or an unexpected situation, you guys would be able to handle it by yourselves without my help. This means that once it's a commission that requires my help, it's the type that you guys would find troublesome."

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Well, what else?"

"Second, to sum up, I am different from Inuyama-san. I will not participate in every commission." Suzuki said: "My position is more like emergency assistance and insurance measures, so the commission may seem high, but in fact, I will only get a share if you need me to participate in the commission."

"What about the third one?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

Suzuki said, "I heard from Inuyama-san that you were competing with a very powerful exorcist in Tokyo yesterday. I saw the situation of those people in the woods with my own eyes. But now you are still standing here in good condition, which means you won the competition. So from now on, there will be more customers in the office. When you go out to work on commissions, I can help you receive customers and record their information and requirements."

"You've convinced me. Your thinking is still as clear as ever." Qian Xiaoyi stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Then, Ms. Suzuki, welcome to join Lingkong Office."

Suzuki also stood up and shook Qian Xiaoyi's hand. From then on, the firm had a new employee.

On the side, Ken said to Inuyama Heita in a teasing tone: "Inuyama clan, Inuyama clan, did you see that as soon as the new employees came, they were treated better than you, do you feel the pressure?"

Inuyama Heita said helplessly: "But Suzuki-san is really amazing. Even I was convinced..."

"So, Mr. Qian, when can I start work?" Suzuki asked.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao, I will give you employee training in the next few days and give you some basic knowledge that you must know. Also, don't always call me Mr. Qian, it's too unfamiliar. Since you have joined the firm, shouldn't you change your name? For example, boss or something like that."

"Then I'll just do the same as Inuyama-san." Suzuki adjusted his glasses and said helplessly, "Brother O."
