Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 31 Where I am, the Way endures

After being rescued, Zhu Biao returned to the branch office and immediately launched into a tirade against Xuantian Temple, even dismissing their apology statement.

He repeatedly demanded that the police thoroughly investigate the matter, saying that the man dared to kidnap him today, and that he must have done this kind of thing countless times before.

The police naturally wouldn't tolerate it, but they comforted Zhu Biao and told him to go home and wait for news.

After grumbling and cursing for a while, he finally felt better and was about to go back to the lounge to rest when he unexpectedly encountered a disheveled female ghost, which terrified him.

When Cheng Mai and Shang Xingjian arrived, Zhu Biao was huddled in a corner, trembling, clutching the amulet he had bought from Xuan He. Upon seeing the two of them, he burst into tears as if he had seen his saviors.

"Boss Shang, Boss Shang, help!" Zhu Biao scrambled up behind the two men, pointing towards the restroom. "That thing, that thing is in there. I used, I used a talisman to hold it in place."

As he spoke, he added, "The talismans from your company are much better than those from Xuantian Temple."

Cheng Mai smiled slightly, "Then I'll trouble President Zhu to help our Boss Shang advertise more in the future. It's not expensive, just one hundred yuan a piece."

"Definitely, definitely." Zhu Biao wiped his sweat. He could buy a whole truckload of them, let alone a hundred each.

Zhu Biao said, somewhat puzzled, "Why is it Chairman Cheng who is doing the publicity?"
As he thought about it, he suddenly realized and understood: this is what it means to be family and not speak like strangers.

Xiaoqian opened the door, went in, and subdued the female ghost inside. She was a ghost with no real power; at most, she could only scare people.

"This, so fast? Aren't you going to fight for a while?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask when he saw the person come out.

"Scientific ghost-catching, handcuffs solve everything," Xiao Qian smiled, tugging at the female ghost, "Behave yourself."

Zhu Biao couldn't see the female ghost at this moment; he could only see Xiao Qian tug at the air and shout a rebuke.

It's scarier than a ghost.

"Mr. Zhu, Fengcheng is not very safe for you at the moment, so I suggest you go back to City A first. City A is the base of our Boss Shang, and ordinary evil spirits dare not cause trouble there, so you don't need to worry."

In short, Fengcheng has not yet been incorporated into Xuanhe's territory, and they cannot guarantee their complete safety for the time being.

"My project..." Even if it fails, it will still be a lot of money!

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. Mr. Shang came here this time to take over Fengcheng. Once Mr. Shang's project is completed, you can come and start construction without any problem."

Merchant Jian: "..." When did he ever say that he came to take over Fengcheng?

However, Cheng Mai, who was chatting with Zhu Biao, ignored him, which shows that it was Cheng Mai's own decision.

Shang Xingjian glanced at Zhu Biao's branch office, his expression clear: "The wicked capitalist."

"What's that?" Shang Xingjian asked, looking at the porcelain vase displayed on the antique shelf.

Zhu Biao and the others looked in the direction he was referring to. Zhu Biao said, "It's just a decoration. If Boss Shang likes it, he can take it."

As Zhu Biao spoke, he quickly went over to take the bottle down and give it to Shang Xingjian.

"I don't like it, but ghosts do."

Before even touching the bottle, Zhu Biao abruptly withdrew his hand, jumped three meters away, and looked at Shang Xingjian with a look of utter despair, asking, "What do you mean by that, Boss Shang?"

Xiao Qian was curious, so he pulled the female ghost over and picked up the bottle. The female ghost flinched, and Xiao Qian chuckled, "Boss, it's a calming bottle."

The so-called "soul-soothing bottle" is a burial object that has been around for thousands of years. It contains a lot of yin energy and is most suitable for souls to reside and rest. For example, the soul-soothing bottle in Zhu Biao's room is the dwelling place of that female ghost.

The merchant scoffed, "It's actually better than a surveillance camera."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Mai genuinely didn't understand, so he looked at Shang Xingjian. "Oh, it's a method used by criminals to monitor wealthy people. When things are peaceful, they can even create some disturbances to get these rich people to go find a master to exorcise ghosts. However, this method disappeared in City A decades ago. I didn't expect other places to be so backward," Xiao Qian explained.

"Tell me, who let you live in this bottle?" Xiaoqian was asking the female ghost.

The female ghost didn't want to answer, but the person who captured her was highly skilled in magic. He had only whipped her once, but it almost made her soul disappear.

Seeing Xiao Qian pull out the Soul-Suppressing Whip again, the female ghost screamed and immediately replied, "Yes, it's Master Gong from Xuantian Temple. He said that if we perform well, we can get our reincarnation number early."

"The time of reincarnation is determined by the Book of Life and Death. What right do they have?" Shang Xingjian said calmly. "It seems we will also have to make a trip to the Yama's Palace in Fengcheng."

"Can't you just stop going to places like the underworld all the time?" Cheng Mai was exasperated. Did her boss even remember that she was still a living, breathing person?
"How many of the Ten Kings of Hell have you seen?" Shang Xingjian glanced at Cheng Mai, then turned and left. "Didn't Chairman Cheng spout nonsense about taking over Fengcheng? Then let's start with the most basic things."

"No, the most basic place in your family is the underworld?" Cheng Mai chased after him, and Xiao Qian would naturally handle the rest.

After all, in the entire Xuanhe region, besides her, Xiaoqian is the best at making money.

Cheng Mai followed Shang Xingjian out of the building. Shang Xingjian raised his hand and looked at the moon; it was a full moon night.

Cheng Mai also looked up, "The moon is fullest on the sixteenth of the lunar month, what is the boss looking at?"

“You’re right, Xuantian Temple is indeed a place of auspicious feng shui.” Shang Xingjian suddenly affirmed Cheng Mai’s words during the day.

"so what?"

"So it can be renamed Xuanhe Shenjun Temple," Shang Xingjian said seriously.

Cheng Mai: "..." To put it bluntly, he just wants to establish his own perspective.

"Boss, may I ask you a question?"

"If you know it's presumptuous, then don't ask."

"How has the boss managed to survive all these years without having his own Taoist temple?"

"As long as I am here, the Way endures." In short, as long as there are people in the world who believe in the Way, their faith will not be interrupted.

All the incense offerings from Taoist temples throughout the land can be used for other people's benefit.

"Robbers!" Cheng Mai said, as if he understood. "Aren't they robbers?"

Shang Xingjian glanced at her, and just when Cheng Mai thought she was about to be hit, Shang Xingjian calmly replied, "What you said isn't wrong."

So now that he has his eye on Xuantian Temple, it must be his.

The Yama Palace in Fengcheng is very different from that in City A. The Yama Palace in Fengcheng is much more sinister, and even the River of Oblivion under the Bridge of Helplessness has a stronger fishy stench than that in City A.

The road was full of potholes, and it looked like it had rained, as the ground was muddy.

Cheng Mai, his feet firmly planted in his rain boots, walked with a furrowed brow. "Boss, if we take them in, will we have to build roads for them?"

Suddenly I'm not so keen on recruiting anymore, because I don't have the money!
"Cheng, the finance manager, is very self-aware, which is indeed the case."

Now she's in the finance department again; Boss Shang knows how to assign her roles based on the situation.

"King Yama of Fengcheng, come quickly to see me." Shang Xingjian stood with his hands behind his back, suddenly adopting a dignified air.

The sound wasn't loud, but it had a strong penetrating power.
