Chapter 24
I miss my loved ones even more every festive season.
People with families cannot understand Yan Zheng's loneliness at this moment.
Even if you are a stranger in a foreign land, at least you still have family members to care about.
Yan Zheng has nothing and no worries. The person he misses most is no longer alive.
Whenever there is a festival, it is the most painful time for Yan Zheng, when the loneliness that is usually hidden comes overwhelming.
The warm festive atmosphere, laughter and laughter are full of nerves over and over again.
Yan Zheng woke up several times, then wrapped himself tightly in quilt and fell asleep.
It's as if you won't be disturbed by these things after sleeping.
As night fell, Yan Zheng really couldn't find any reason to continue hiding, and he still had to do what he promised Xiao Cao.
At around six o'clock, Yan Zheng got up, dressed neatly, and walked out of the house carrying the lantern ghost.
When the lantern ghost is inactive, it is no different from an ordinary red lantern, attracting many people's attention when walking on the road.
The Tang Dynasty lanterns are well made and made of high-end materials, attracting people's attention.
Some people even came up to ask where they bought the lanterns.
Yan Zheng smiled gently and told them that they couldn't buy this lantern...
Yan Zheng bought a lot of food on the way, including moon cakes and Xiao Cao's favorite coffee.
Walking near the Xinchuang Building, the festive atmosphere became even stronger, with lights and colorful decorations and a buzz of people.
Yan Zheng walked through the bustling crowd and walked into the Xinchuang Building. The decoration in the building also had a strong festive color. Yesterday, Yan Zheng didn't pay attention. Today, if he took a closer look at the model of Chang'e flying to the moon in the middle, it still had some flavor.
When I got to the company, Xiao Cao was looking out from inside the company, looking forward to it.
Seeing Yan Zheng appear in the corridor, Xiao Cao's excitement was beyond words.
“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, boss!”
Yan Zheng smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
As he spoke, he handed the food and coffee in his hands to Xiao Cao.
Xiao Cao took the things and responded eagerly: "It's not too late, it's just right."
Xiao Cao had already moved the sofa and coffee table in the rest area to the company lobby, and quickly placed the food bought by Yan Zheng on the coffee table.
Yan Zheng naturally knew why Cao Haidong was so diligent, and he silently activated the lantern ghost in his heart.
The lifeless lantern ghost lights up with red lights, giving the company a festive glow.
Then the lantern opened from the middle, and an extra-long tongue protruded from the middle.
A pair of eyes the size of copper bells jumped up.
Xiao Cao watched in surprise as Yan Zheng turned the lantern from a dead object into a living thing like he was performing a magic trick.
The activated lantern ghost first shouted at Yan Zheng, seeming to complain that it took so long for Yan Zheng to activate itself.
Then his attention was attracted to Xiao Cao, and he flew to Xiao Cao's side and circled around Xiao Cao with great interest.
"Hello, I am the boss's employee." Xiao Cao was polite.
Ah~ Lantern’s iconic ah sound seemed to be a response.
The two ghosts communicated happily. Yan Zheng didn't know how Xiao Cao could hear so much information from the lantern ghost's voice. He could only blame it on the same kind of creatures and no barriers to communication.
Seeing the two ghosts chatting enthusiastically and getting along peacefully, Yan Zheng felt warm in his heart.
Who says he has no relatives and friends? What are these two in front of him? Now I should not be considered alone.
Yan Zheng thought to himself, as if he saw the future of the company, full of ghosts and prosperity.
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble. Come over and have something to eat and sit down for a while. I said, Xiao Cao, don't you think it's dirty? The lantern ghost has so much saliva, and you let him lick you, and how many times did he wash your head?
All over."
Lantern dog should not be called lantern ghost.
Yan Zheng once suspected that the Lantern Ghost was originally possessed by the soul of a husky and became a spirit. It was as clingy as a dog and liked to wash people's hair with its tongue.
Xiao Cao pushed the lantern ghost away and sat on the sofa: "It's okay, the boss looks dirty, but in fact it's all yin energy. I'll use the ghost power and it will be gone." In order to prove his words, Xiao Cao immediately used the ghost power, and all his body was filled with yin energy.
The anger rising and the wet saliva disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yan Zheng's eyes lit up, it really lit up, and the lantern ghost was rushing toward him with its tongue hanging out.
Yan Zheng raised his legs and kicked him away, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Get out of here! I don't have the ability of Xiao Cao. If you dare to lick me, believe it or not, I will change you back immediately."
The lantern ghost flying in the air deflated as if frustrated. Xiao Cao quickly picked it up, held it in his arms, and touched his head to comfort it.
Looking at the lantern that was swaying under Xiao Cao's touch, Ghost Yanzheng smiled and cursed: "It's really a dog! Why are you still a little worried when I put my life in its hands tomorrow?"
Xiao Cao: "Boss, don't think it's unreliable now. After all, it's a ghost. Its IQ is no less than that of ordinary people. Don't worry, it will definitely be fine with it!"
Yan Zheng nodded slightly suspiciously: "I hope so! By the way, what are your parents' phone numbers? I'll call them now and don't fall asleep again later."
"Boss~Thank you~" Xiao Cao was a little excited and spoke intermittently.
"139xxxxxxx"
Yan Zheng dialed the number Xiao Cao said. After a beeping sound, he remembered Cao's father's old voice on the other side: "Who is it!"
Yan Zheng: "Hello, Father Cao, happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I am Xiaoyan who went to your place a few days ago. Do you still remember me? Isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival? I say hello to you."
Hearing his father's voice again after so many years, Xiao Cao shed tears of excitement.
"Oh, Yan Zheng! Thank you. Your aunt and I are both fine. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Say hello to me and your parents!"
Yan Zheng was a little embarrassed. His parents were both dead, so how could he take care of them? Although they both worked part-time in the underworld, they might have a chance to meet again in the future. But this still sounded strange.
"Well~ my parents passed away a long time ago"
Father Cao: "I'm sorry. Sorry, I don't know."
Yan Zheng: "It's okay. I'm used to it!"
Silence followed. Cao's father was not a good chatter, and Yan Zheng had never faced such a situation. But under Xiao Cao's earnest eyes, Yan Zheng couldn't bear to hang up the phone. Xiao Cao meant that he wanted to hear more.
Listening to his father's words, Yan Zheng had no choice but to find a topic.
"Uncle Cao, have you spent the money I sent you a few days ago? Have you taken your aunt to see a doctor? I remember there are no good hospitals in Qingqiu, but after the fifteenth day, you can bring your aunt to Jishui. Jishui is prosperous.
There are more hospitals.”
Father Cao was a little excited when he mentioned the one hundred thousand yuan: "There are no flowers. If you need it, take it back first. It's almost time to harvest the corn, and I haven't had time to take your aunt to see a doctor. I'm thinking of waiting until the corn is harvested before going. I'll sell the corn."
How much money do you have? I think this money should be enough for medical treatment. I might as well send the money to you when the time comes!"
Cao's father, an honest farmer, always feels a little uneasy when he takes money given for free by others.
Yan Zheng: "Don't~ don't~ I told you before that money is what you deserve. I don't need that little money, so you can take it with ease. I have already rented the company where Xiao Cao worked. From now on.
We are preparing to develop in Jishui City. If you have any questions, just contact me. Don’t be embarrassed. Xiao Cao and I are good brothers, and the code he left has been a huge help to me! You don’t know its value.
If you don't have money now, I'll give you one million, but even ten million won't be worth the value of that code. When the company develops, I will replenish the subsequent money for you."
Yan Zheng vaccinated Cao's father in advance to save him the trouble of sending money later. Cao's father may not understand what Yan Zheng meant by "it".
This small amount of money can buy you a blood-thirsty evil spirit who will work for you wholeheartedly. Is it worth it? It’s a great deal. To put it bluntly, if there is a chance to get into contact with this level, Yan Zheng believes that those rich people will
Pay hundreds of millions or even more for such an opportunity.
Cao's father didn't know this in his heart, and his thoughts were relatively simple. He simply thought that the code left by Xiao Cao could help Yan Zheng, and he was happy for Yan Zheng from the bottom of his heart.
"No, no need~ I'll be fine if I can help you. This money is already enough. Your aunt and I can't spend a lot of money. We grow everything we eat at home. This money is tight enough, and you won't need it in the future.
If you give us more money, we won't be able to use it. That me..."
Cao's father was about to speak but was silent for a moment, then continued: "I heard that Xiao Cao's previous company was haunted. That kid Xiaodong... couldn't bear to leave. How about you open a company somewhere else to avoid any more trouble?"
The kindness in Father Cao's heart made him unable to bear to see anything happen to Yan Zheng. He had talked to Father Cao when the property was about to be sublet to the company, and later because it was no longer haunted, he also informed Father Cao. Father Cao knew more or less.
Point situation.
Yan Zheng: "It's okay, Uncle Cao, don't listen to their nonsense. I have rented it and everything is fine. Besides, Xiao Cao and I are true friends, he will still harm me!"
Father Cao: "Then, please be more careful. I wish you a prosperous business."
The conversation was almost coming to an end, and Yan Zheng ended the call after saying a few polite words to Cao's father.
Xiao Cao on the side had tears streaming down his face and was so choked up that he couldn't speak: "Boss~ Wuwuwu!"
"Okay, stop talking, I understand that we are drinking!"
As he spoke, Yan Zheng opened the red wine he brought and gave a bottle to Xiao Cao, then he picked up a can of beer and drank it.
Xiao Cao took the wine and drank it in one gulp without saying a word.
Yan Zheng was stunned with his big mouth. After drinking, Xiao Cao looked at Yan Zheng with the empty bottle in his eyes, as if he said, I've done it, what about you?
Yan Zheng said haha: "The moon is so round today~haha~"
Xiao Cao was stunned. It was the first time he saw such a shameless person. He could be said to be worthy of being a boss.
Fortunately, the lantern ghost next to him came to Yan Zheng's rescue in time. Seeing the two of them drinking, the lantern ghost wanted to join in the fun.
But it couldn't open the beer can without hands, so it could only swallow the can together.
Bite it hard and it will spray everywhere like a beer fountain.
The lantern ghost floated in the air like a child who had made a mistake and was confused. He laughed and scolded, and Xiao Cao laughed and comforted him.
