Chapter Four: The Supernatural Office

Xu Fugui suddenly came in and startled me! Interrupting all my thoughts...

He quickly apologized: "Sorry, brother, you should turn on a light while taking a shower!"

After saying that, he turned on a heating lamp for me before he exited. I suddenly felt embarrassed. In fact, I just entered the bathroom and simply couldn't find the switch.

I felt uncomfortable living under someone else's roof. After taking a shower, I returned to the guest room and lay on the bed filled with melancholy...

To be honest, after arriving in Shangjing, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. Looking at the bustling city, I felt confused. I really don't know why Blind Liu expected my destination to be in Shangjing.

Just when I was worried about how to live in Beijing, to my surprise, Boss Ma had already arranged everything for me!

Early the next morning...

They took me through the coffee shop last night and came to the second floor.

"Do you like it?" Boss Ma said: "This was originally the office of the coffee shop downstairs, but it has been idle. I will decorate it and give it to you when you go to Beijing to see things."

More than just liking it? I couldn't hold back my inner surprise. No wonder I heard the sound of decoration in the cafe downstairs last night.

Boss Ma said that I had already started preparations since the day I came to Beijing. I just never thought that I would spend more than half a month in Uncle Chen's small town, so now it is fully decorated.

“It’s really complete!”

I was shocked inside. There are three offices connected here and all the office furniture is available.

The only thing left is to arrange the entrance to the hall in the first room, and the second room out the door is a huge tea table reception room. In the third room connected by a door, there is a bed lounge, which even has a bathroom.

"This room is for you to take a break at noon!"

Boss Ma arranged: "You can stay at my house tonight. There are many vacant rooms at home."

No thanks! I declined the offer: "I'm fine living here!"

"It doesn't matter if you live in my house," Boss Ma said sincerely, "How can you live here as a Tangkou?"

"It's already great to live here!" I took off the jade sign and pledged it to Boss Ma: "The expenses here will be paid back to you when I make money. Now I can only pledge this to you!"

Boss Ma said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite. The cafe downstairs is run by Siyu, and the upstairs is empty anyway. The decoration fee should be used as a reward for helping me settle the matter last time."

"Put it away!" Ma Siyu put the jade tag back on me and said, "From now on, I will be your landlord. You have to work hard to pay the rent. But for the first three months, I will waive it for you."

I was helpless: "Thank you very much, landlord!"

By the way, Boss Ma suddenly asked: "What kind of sign are you planning to put up here?"

"I..." I really never thought about it. I never thought that when I first arrived in Beijing, I would be able to have my own place to see things. I was even confused about urban life.

"Jiang Shenpo's Office? Or Jiang Xiangtong's Office..." Ma Siyu lowered her head and thought of several names, but without exception: "They all sound so unpleasant!"

Indeed, I don’t know: “What name should I use to list it?”

Boss Ma said: "I have thought of a new one for you...Jiang Chen Supernatural Agency."

I took my cell phone and looked up the meaning of a firm. It means a place or institution that handles affairs. Most of them take over other people's entrustments and are called firms.

Ma Siyu's pretty face changed slightly: "Although it's not very nice, it's better than Mother Jiang's in seeing things!"

"That's it!" I looked at Boss Ma gratefully. After all, I came to Beijing and everything here was given by him. Listing it with his name is also a basic expression of gratitude.

Boss Ma was very happy. Mrs. Ma immediately arranged for Xu Fuqiang to find someone to order the best sign and deliver it.

Xu Fuqiang promised that it would be delivered before the afternoon, and asked me to wait here for a while and get familiar with the environment here.

Before they left, Boss Ma and his wife repeatedly told Ma Siyu to take me around and go back early for dinner in the evening.

"I know!" Ma Siyu was very impatient.

Watching Mr. Ma and his wife leave, my nervous mood eased. I followed the rules and set up a table in the first room and offered incense...

I asked Uncle Chen to bind my threads into books and drive them over. Then I put them neatly on the bookshelf next to the entrance of the hall.

During this period, Ma Siyu and Uncle Chen wanted to help, but I refused. After all, there are many rules in court affairs.

After finishing the work, it was already past noon, and before I could even think about eating, I was pulled out by Ma Siyu to dress up...

The so-called dressing up actually means buying clothes and changing into a few outfits. Ma Siyu pays for everything, so I try my best to choose the cheapest ones, but when I pay for them, the price is tens of thousands, which still shocks me.

In the end, she chose a suit for me that cost NT$98,000. How dare I ask for it and I refused again and again.

But she said: "I bought this to wear it when I first meet a client, so that I can collect the money for the trouble. Otherwise, everyone will be like Uncle Chen, giving you three thousand yuan, which will not be enough for you to eat in Beijing."

.”

I:"...."

On the way back, Ma Siyu also told me: "We need to wear different clothes for different occasions. Sometimes when we go to meet distinguished guests or important people, it is polite to dress up."

My heart skipped a beat as I suddenly thought of something...

Although the clothes of the woman in red were messy, it was not difficult to see that her clothes were not ordinary and her family conditions were not too bad. Why was there so much trouble that no one collected her body? Besides, she was dressed in red before she died. Who was she dressed up for?
