Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 34 Suicide Has No Benefit

Cheng Mai could sense the change in aura to some extent. She wanted to apologize, but the words stuck in her throat. It was as if some unseen force made her feel that she shouldn't apologize.

Xiaoqian tied up the earthbound spirit and placed it there, leaving someone to watch over it, while he returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, he sensed something was wrong; the female ghost beside him was practically terrified.

"Mr. Cheng? Boss?" What's going on?
Shang Xingjian immediately turned off the TV and withdrew all the oppressive aura emanating from him.

Xiaoqian patted her chest, finally daring to come in through the door.

"Young Master Cheng, we've caught the person, what's next?" Xiao Qian ran excitedly to Cheng Mai's side, completely forgetting that her boss was the Jian family's business tycoon.

Cheng Mai looked at the female ghost who was hiding to the side, panting heavily, and said, "Let's start with her."

"Okay." Xiao Qian replied, turning her head with a smile, and then performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act for Cheng Mai in front of him, "That female ghost over there, yes, I'm talking about you, the court is now in session, you, go stand in the defendant's seat yourself."

Xiaoqian spoke with great conviction, and even pointed to a place as the defendant's seat.

All of this left Cheng Mai in awe. No wonder he was the young minister of their Science and Security Department; he had a bright future ahead of him.

Cheng Mai got up and went over, and Xiao Qian immediately brought over a chair, saying eagerly, "Mr. Cheng, please have a seat."

Cheng Mai nodded in satisfaction.

Merchant Jian, who had just stood up and come over: "..."

Who is the real boss?

Xiaoqian suddenly felt a chill. He turned around and met the boss's gaze.

"Boss, would you like to sit too?" Xiaoqian asked sincerely.

The shopkeeper looked at him with a cold gaze. Xiao Qian looked around and said, "There's only one chair. Boss, you can stand for a while."

Cheng Mai sat comfortably, looking at Shang Xingjian with a half-smile, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Shang Xingjian raised his hand and took out a dragon throne from his Qiankun bag.

That's right, it's the dragon throne!
Then he slowly sat down, taking the seat at the head of Cheng Mai's table.

Cheng Mai was shocked, Xiao Qian was shocked, and even the female ghost was shocked.

"Not a court hearing? Let's proceed with the trial." Shang Xingjian said, then took out a small table with a teapot and teacups on it.

Mr. Shang started sipping tea again.

Cheng Mai silently uttered two words: "Pretentious."

The shop owner, Mr. Shang, sipped his tea without paying any attention.

Cheng Mai turned to look at the female ghost who was crouching on the ground with her head in her hands, "Speak, you have a chance to confess now, why did you scare people in the soul bottle?"

"I'm innocent, Mr. Cheng." The female ghost now realized that this incredibly handsome man was the boss, a big shot, but the big shot listened to this Mr. Cheng.

Therefore, the one with the highest status is still this young CEO Cheng!
"Because I committed suicide due to a broken heart, my reincarnation was delayed by ten years. During these ten years, we will exist as souls. Although we live on our own, we still have to listen to the King of Hell. We were seconded to the Xuantian Temple by the King of Hell."

“I know about this. Xuantian Temple allowed you to intimidate humans. Don’t you know that this is illegal?” Cheng Mai asked.

The female ghost flinched. "I know, but the Taoist priest of Xuantian Temple holds our soul contract. If we don't obey, he can make our souls disappear. He also said that if we listen, he can let us be reincarnated early."

Being a ghost isn't easy, especially now that the birth rate is declining, so they can only wait.

"Being able to be reborn as a human being is the result of going through hardships. If you don't cherish your life while you're alive, there's no need to rush to be reborn."

"This is what Shang Xingjian said calmly."

Life is precious. If you don't cherish your own life while you're alive, why should you squeeze to the front in the crowded reincarnation process?

The female ghost dared not speak, much less say that this was why the temptation of cutting in line was so great for ghosts like them. "Moreover, the old Taoist priest told us that what we were doing wasn't illegal, because those rich people were destined for calamity, and we were helping them."

"He's quite good at making things up." Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian, who was sipping tea, and took the tea after Shang Xingjian finished pouring it, taking a sip himself.

The merchant gave her a cold look but didn't say anything. Instead, he took out another white jade porcelain cup and continued to pour water.

Do you know the name of the Taoist priest who is in charge of your mission?

"I don't know his name, but everyone calls him Master Pi." The female ghost was very polite, trying to get leniency for her confession. "Mr. Cheng, I really haven't done anything immoral except for scaring people."

"How about I give you a chance to redeem yourself?" Cheng Mai put down his teacup and said leisurely.

"Yes, Mr. Cheng, please tell me."

"Take all the ghosts enslaved by Xuantian Temple and go to Xuantian Temple to demand justice."

Upon hearing this, the female ghost immediately shrank back, "Young Master Cheng, our soul contracts are still in their hands. What if we go over there..."

"Don't worry, since I'm letting you go, it's so you can retrieve your soul contract."

"Is it really possible?"

"Our Xuanhe Technology serves the Three Realms; there's nothing we can't do," Xiaoqian said proudly, arms crossed.

Genga Technology?

The female ghost's eyes darted around. She had never heard of this organization before, but she secretly glanced at the man drinking tea. He could exude such a powerful aura just by moving, which showed that he was a very powerful person.

The female ghost thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Does Xuanhe hire ghost employees? No salary, just food and lodging."

The female ghost is ten years away from reincarnation. Because she committed suicide, her parents felt ashamed, and no one offered incense to her during festivals. That's why she took this job, but she never expected it to be a damned Vietnamese scam.

If she had a proper job, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

The female ghost felt more and more aggrieved, and finally burst into tears. Being a ghost in Fengcheng was difficult, especially for ghosts without family members to offer sacrifices.

Cheng Mai: "..." It was quite sudden.

Cheng Mai looked at Xiao Qian, who scratched his head. "There were no rules outside the human realm before. It was only after Xuanhe was established in recent years that some rules gradually came into being."

"A little?"

Those few?
Why didn't she see any of it?

"All living things should live according to their own laws," Shang Xingjian said calmly.

"That's why so much trouble has arisen now, boss. You should take responsibility for your position," Cheng Mai instructed, before turning to the female ghost. "Xuanhe Technology will issue a regulation on this matter later, and there will definitely be recruitment information released then."

"Really?" The female ghost's eyes lit up instantly. "Then I'm willing to go. I can also try to persuade those people to give me priority in admission."

The female ghost seemed shrewd, knowing how to secure her own benefits as soon as possible.

"You don't look like someone who would commit suicide." People who commit suicide must be disheartened, but look at this female ghost, even in death she is living a very positive life.

I get angry just thinking about this female ghost.

"It was that scumbag. I found out he was cheating on me, so we argued. It escalated to the balcony. I was just trying to scare him, so I yelled that I was going to jump. But then I lost my footing."

As the female ghost spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and because she shouted that she was going to jump off the building, she was judged to have committed suicide.

Cheng Mai silently watched the female ghost. Shouldn't she have pushed the scumbag off at that moment?

"If a man is cheating on you, why would he care whether you live or die?" Shang Xingjian said sarcastically.

Cheng Mai looked at his boss, who had always had a talent for delivering the most hurtful blows.
