The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 460: Mystery of the Hundred Ghosts (5)

After adjusting his tie, Qian Xiaoyi walked out of the lounge. He complained to Shichijo Masato, "So it's called a celebration banquet, but it's actually a banquet for the new leadership team to meet with former clients and partners? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Nanajo Masato shrugged: "Because it will probably be boring, I'm afraid you won't come if I tell you."

"To be honest, I'm a little regretful." Qian Xiaoyi moved his arms awkwardly and said, "This outfit is too uncomfortable to wear."

"It's like this if it's not custom-made." Nanajo Masato said, "Be patient, or you can just wear your original casual clothes. You'll be the center of attention. This kind of occasion requires something more formal."

Qian Xiaoyi joked, "Or you can just let me pretend to be a waiter. Anyway, the purpose of calling me here is to let me help you find out if there is anything wrong with those customers, right?"

He hadn't forgotten the curse that had inexplicably appeared on Shichijo Masato before, and he still hadn't figured out where it came from. And there were also Hundred Ghosts. Maybe one of them was one of those who had worked with WTV before, just like Lai Shan Chenggong.

Nanajo Masato said: “This is just one of the reasons.”

Qian Xiaoyi looked at him: "Anything else?"

Nanajo Masato said awkwardly, "I'm sorry to say this, but actually, when the financial review was conducted, my grandfather also saw the results, and then he discovered the expenditure of the 10 million yen deposit I gave you before, and the 100 million commission fees that were being used by the finance department to evade taxes..."

Qian Xiaoyi remembered that Qijiao Zhengren had said that his grandfather was just like him before, an atheist who refused to listen to anything. This banquet might not be a good one.
"So, your grandfather discovered my existence?" Qian Xiaoyi asked with a strange expression: "How did you answer?"

"I said that you are an exorcist on the surface, but in fact you are a military advisor who helps me with strategies." Nanajo Masato said with a headache: "The successful method to deal with Laishan was suggested by you... So my grandfather is very interested in you now and asked to meet you."

Qian Xiaoyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was still good. There was still room for maneuver and he could probably get away with it.

Nanajo Masato said, "Then let's go up and don't keep them waiting for too long."

The two took the elevator to the terrace on the top floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Qian Xiaoyi felt a strong sense of being watched. He suddenly raised his head and looked around, and the feeling of being watched disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

By the swimming pool, elites in suits and leather shoes were standing around in groups of three or four, holding wine glasses in their hands, chatting and laughing. There were not many people on the scene, only a few dozen, but the atmosphere was no less deserted than on the second floor. There were professional chefs making all kinds of delicious dishes, and the air was filled with the aroma of food. There were even several models with good figures swimming around in swimsuits in the swimming pool, and a band was playing soothing music on the stage on the other side.

Combined with the brilliant night view in the distance, it looks extremely luxurious.

"The atmosphere of the so-called 'upper class' is overwhelming~" Qian Xiaoyi sighed.

Nanajo Masato said: "Everyone present here is an important figure. You should be more restrained and not attract too much attention."

Qian Xiaoyi said helplessly: "You're making me sound outrageous. Stop talking nonsense. I know what to do."

"My grandfather is there. I'll take you there first." said Nanajo Masato.

They walked through the crowd and came to the bar counter, where there was a resting area for guests. In the corner, an old man in a black kimono was sitting on a chair, looking at the night view in the distance.

Next to him stood a tall and thin man, with burn marks on one-third of his face. He looked to be over 60 years old. He was like a guard, guarding the old man. When he noticed someone approaching, the man with the burn on his face turned his head slightly and met Qian Xiaoyi's eyes.

There was a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and he just glanced away, lowered his head and said to the old man: "Master, the young master is here with his men."

Nanajo Hiroshi finally woke up from his deep thoughts. He smiled and waved from a distance, saying, "Is Masato here? Over here~"

"Your grandfather seems quite kind." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I thought he was a very old-fashioned type."

Nanajo Masato replied: "You just need to pay attention to Mr. Shin. It's the man standing on the side. I always feel that there is something wrong with him."

He brought Qian Xiaoyi to Shichijo Hiroshi and introduced him, "Grandpa, this is Qian Xiaoyi I mentioned to you."

"Good evening, President Qi Tiao." Qian Xiaoyi said.

"Oh, you're here? Come sit down." Nanajo Hiroshi said with a smile, "Don't stand there like an idiot. There aren't that many rules here. Shin, go order two drinks for them."

"Yes." Ashin bowed slightly, then glanced at Qian Xiaoyi and left.

After they sat down, Shichijo Hiroshi looked into the distance and said, "The scenery here is really nice, right? I haven't been here for several years."

Qizhang Zhengren and Qian Xiaoyi remained silent, waiting for his next question.

"Ah~ Why are you young people so lifeless?" Nanajo Hiroshi scolded, "Be more energetic. This is not a company now."

Nanajo Masato said dryly: "But... Grandpa, this is the company." Although it is on the top floor of the company.

"Kid, just know what I mean." Nanajo Hiroshi said, "Anyway, just treat this as a normal gathering and relax a little... Speaking of which, Mr. Qian, after I learned about your situation, I found the program you planned and watched it. I found that apart from the supernatural parts, it is really interesting. Under the surface of entertainment, it actually hides various social phenomena and problems. It is a good program."

"No, you are joking." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I just provided an idea. Those programs still rely on the staff of the program team to do well. Just like now, even if I am no longer in the program, isn't "Horror Night GO" still going well?"

"You are too modest." Nanajo Hiroshi said with a smile: "I heard that your main job is... an exorcist?"

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Yes, I opened a ghost exorcism agency."

"Exorcism..." Nanajo Hiroshi nodded, then suddenly asked: "So, are you interested in following me?"

Ashin returned with two glasses of mocktails and placed them on the table with an expressionless face.

"Enjoy your meal," he said.
