I have a ghost diary

Chu Jiang asked Li Xiaolang to come over and take Jing Ruoxue to complete her onboarding registration before returning to his office as usual.

The 21st Research Institute should be well aware of Jing Ruoxue's arrival. Meanwhile, headquarters should also be aware of her identity. What will their thoughts be?

Don't get me wrong, Chu Jiang isn't worried, he just finds it very interesting.

What the higher-ups at headquarters are thinking is currently unknown, but in the office of a certain expert named Ning...

"It's all over, it's all over!" Ning Miaowei wailed as she slumped over her messy desk.

Opposite Ning Miaowei sat a well-behaved and lovely young girl, with a pale, translucent crystal orchid blooming on her head.

This girl, dressed like a high school student, is named Ning Xiaorou. She is Ning Miaowei's bodyguard and a rather powerful ghost master.

"What's wrong with you again?" Ning Xiaorou, who was watering the flowers on her head with a miniature watering can, asked Ning Miaowei about her actions.

"The Jing family from Chu have gone to contact Chu Jiang. And it seems they've already chosen their next Shao Siming, it's Jing Ruoxue, you've met her."

"Oh, so what?" Ning Xiaorou continued watering slowly and patiently, drop by drop.

"What do you mean, 'So what?' You know my plan."

"I originally planned to have a few rounds with that guy surnamed Chu and try to steal Chu Zhan's power. Now that little wench surnamed Jing beat me to it, I probably won't have a chance." Ning Miaowei clenched her fist and bit her lip as she spoke, looking quite unwilling.

"You're so shameless!" Ning Xiaorou was utterly speechless at the expert's audacity in uttering such words.

"You Western Regions Sheep, don't talk about me. What's the value of shame? If the supernatural resurgence continues to spread so wildly, all of humanity will be on the verge of extinction. Between shame and life, which do you want?"

Ning Xiaorou revealed an angry expression, "You are the Western Regions Sheep, your whole family are Western Regions Sheep!"

Ning Miaowei wasn't angry, but she still slumped listlessly on the table. "You know, several days have passed. Haven't they already done everything they were supposed to do?"

"Why don't you call him and ask him yourself?"

"How could I possibly ask him that? He was already on guard against me. If I called to ask, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?"

"Then keep howling, I have no objection." Ning Xiaorou had finished watering and put the watering can away.

Just then, Ning Miaowei's phone rang. She picked it up listlessly, glanced at it, and then immediately jumped up!

The seemingly carefree expert pressed the answer button and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Hello~?"

Chu Jiang on the other end of the phone frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, what do you want?"

Seeing that the other party had returned to normal tone, Chu Jiang said, "I used up that cloth doll you gave me last time. It worked quite well. When are you going to give me a few more?"

"Hey, do you think this thing is a cabbage?" Ning Miaowei suddenly became serious when it came to work.

"Making this thing is not simple. It requires the cooperation of a team leader in the research institute. You have no idea how much effort I had to put into coaxing her."

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised. He had thought it was a sealing artifact made with the help of a ghost, but he hadn't expected it to be made with the help of a ghost master.

There is a difference between the two. The supernatural power that a Ghost Master can unleash is often not 100%. Just like Chu Jiang, he is currently unable to unleash the full power of Chu Zhan.

"Which captain? Have I seen him before?"

"It's that creepy little girl in the gothic Lolita dress. Her name is Xin Xin, and her code name is [Death]."

Chu Jiang silently memorized the name. When he checked all the captains' information before, he could only see their names, code names, and areas of responsibility. Now that Ning Miaowei had mentioned it, he had a better idea of ​​what this "Xin Xin" was capable of.

The two continued chatting for a while, mainly as Chu Jiang had agreed beforehand, to give Ning Miaowei feedback on the effects of the product.

Incidentally, at the end of the call, Chu Jiang said he would visit headquarters again when he had time, and that they would talk about it then.

Ning Miaowei readily agreed, promising that if Chu Jiang came again, she would do everything she could to get him two more plush toys.

......

Next, Chu Jiang called Expert Chen, mainly to request the [Fire Seed] prop, and also to ask for two high-end versions of Soul-Guiding Incense and Oil-Paper Umbrella.

He plans to set off for the Three Gods Mountain tomorrow to see if these things can be delivered in time; if so, he'll have a better chance of success.

Chen Yehua agreed without hesitation. Chu Jiang had just resolved an A-level incident, namely the Ghost Bride incident.

Although the problem is not completely solved, there are corresponding rewards; even if the supplies applied for are not enough to offset the losses, the rest can be owed to Chu Jiang and he can withdraw them whenever he wants.

Speaking of the ghost bride incident, Zhang Dafu called this morning to thank Chu Jiang, saying that his great-grandfather's remains had been moved and everything went smoothly this time.

As for the relocation address... it's in the same place, but the grave has been moved to a different direction.

According to Zhang Dafu, he originally wanted to go back and ask the feng shui master surnamed Xu, but unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have been arrested by the police for breaking the law.

So the Zhang family had to find a different caregiver. This caregiver was quite straightforward; after receiving the money, he started arguing and making a lot of excuses.

The gist is that the original location of the Zhang family patriarch's tomb was quite good, but the orientation was wrong, facing southeast and clashing with the Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui). This time, it's facing southwest, which will ensure wealth and prosperity for future generations, as well as a successful official career.

This amused Chu Jiang somewhat, but he thought, "Never mind, as long as things stay peaceful." Or perhaps this gentleman only swindled money and didn't harm anyone, so he at least had some professional ethics.

They didn't even move to other places, which saved the Zhang family money.

With the matter concluded, Chu Jiang casually picked up the Ghost Diary and flipped through it.

The entries in Ghost Diaries are automatically updated to a new version to correspond to the established facts after the events of the day are altered.

However, not every entry contains new information. For example, during the "Black Sun" episode, the diary entry stated that everyone in Luohe City was dead. But after the update, the Ghost Diary didn't say anything good either, only expressing some regret that Chu Jiang hadn't died.

Regarding the castle incident, the updated content is as follows:

[November 12, Cloudy]

[I'm not dead! Damn it, how come I'm not dead again?!]

[It's decided, I'll be even more reckless next time. A real man should have the courage to fight ten times over and be willing to die for his cause.]

Although it wasn't the first time Chu Jiang had read it, he still couldn't help but laugh after reading it. The intentions of Ghost Diary were becoming more and more obvious each time, and this time it was even trying to trick the master into being a little more reckless.

Chapter 292 Do you prefer a bear or Pikachu?

Chu Jiang only wanted to reply with one sentence: Only a fool would act recklessly. When encountering supernatural events, it is always the person who is cautious who survives to the end.

His only regret was that the Ghost Diary seemed to have learned its lesson and no longer released any information related to the Ghost Buddha or the White Tiger. Even when Chu Jiang abandoned it to come out first, it didn't say anything, since it had already "demonstrated" its power.

Just then, Chen Ke'er, the finance manager, knocked on the door and came in.

Before Chu Jiang could even ask what was going on, she ran over and whispered in the boss's ear, "Will Miss Jing be working here from now on?"

The misunderstanding between the two had obviously been cleared up, and Chen Ke'er originally thought that this special guest would leave soon.

However, what made her uneasy was that the boss's secretary actually helped her with the onboarding process?! Fortunately, the position assigned to her wasn't cashier; it seemed to be just a regular clerk on temporary assignment.

Otherwise, Chen Ke'er would inevitably have some associations...

"Yes, is there a problem?" Chu Jiang looked at her.

Chen Ke'er shook her head repeatedly, "Boss, where are you going on a business trip?"

"Three God Mountains."

Will you be bringing anyone along?

Chu Jiang pondered for a moment. Duan Ming'en had successfully returned alive yesterday. This meant the company now had three Ghost Master employees: Zhou Wenshan, Duan Ming'en, and Jing Ruoxue.

Should we pick someone to go with us?

By the way, since we've already partnered with the Jing family, let Jing Ruoxue send over a couple more reliable ghost masters later.

As for the Ghost Master assistant positions offered by the research institute, that can be discussed later. Chu Jiang needs to interview the candidates before he can feel comfortable letting them come and work here.

"I might bring Jing Ruoxue along."

Upon hearing Chu Jiang's answer, Chen Ke'er hesitated for a moment, then stammered for a while before finally nodding and taking her leave.

Chu Jiang almost laughed. "Did you really think I went on a business trip as a vacation?"

"It's very dangerous, otherwise I wouldn't have hesitated to bring you along."

Chen Ke'er's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "Never mind then, I can't hold you back."

But just as she was about to leave, Chu Jiang stopped her, "Let's go to your apartment for a late-night snack tonight. We agreed to go last time, but something unexpected happened on the way, so I stood you up."

Chen Ke'er immediately turned around with delight, nodding repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll buy you the things you like to eat."

After saying that, she happily went out. Anyone who didn't know better would think that this little money-grubber had won the lottery!

......

After Chen Ke'er left, Chu Jiang reflected on his actions and realized that he had started to be somewhat accommodating to the girl without realizing it.

What's going on here? Wuji, remember this: the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

There's another saying, what was it again? Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed.

......

That night, Chu Jiang arrived at Chen Ke'er's residence on time for their appointment.

This guy cleaned the house spotlessly, even the couplets on the door were newly pasted up; you'd think it was Chinese New Year if you didn't know better.

Moreover, Chen Ke'er not only ordered takeout, but the usually lazy Chen Ke'er also personally cooked a few dishes in the kitchen, claiming it was to thank the boss for his long-term care.

The rest of the story unfolded quite normally.

The man and woman sat on the floor at a small table in the living room, facing the city night view outside the window, eating snacks, drinking wine, and chatting about life.

However, Chen Ke'er couldn't hold her liquor. Although the two were drinking beer, after a few drinks, she started to feel tipsy. Her face turned red, but her eyes were bright, like a kitten's.

"Let me tell you, my dream is to buy a big house, not have to go to work every day, sleep until I naturally wake up, and count money until my hands cramp."

"Of course, it would be best if there was also a domineering CEO in the family, the kind who loves me, spoils me, and is considerate of me..."

After saying that, Chen Ke'er looked at Chu Jiang and asked, "Don't you think I'm vulgar?"

Chu Jiang calmly took a sip of beer. "When I was still in school, my dreams weren't much different from yours: to be rich, have beautiful women, and have status."

"Of course, things have changed now, and nothing can go back to the way it was."

"Are you stupid?" Chen Ke'er, wearing loose bear pajamas, squinted and leaned against Chu Jiang. "Isn't there a beautiful woman here? One-third of your dream has come true!"

Chu Jiang reached out and pinched her burning cheek. "You're drunk. Do you want me to take you to bed?"

Chen Ke'er slammed down her wine glass, decisively snuggled into Chu Jiang's arms and hugged him, as if she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she almost vomited all over Chu Jiang.
