One had to admit that since starting his job yesterday, Chu Qing could feel that the situation at North Mountain Cemetery was quite special and filled with abnormalities.
It wasn't just because of the existence of the Faceless Ghost.
It was the matter of his employment.
From the residual Yin energy and subsequent observation of the Faceless Ghost, Chu Qing could not fail to discover that before he started working, the situation of Yin energy residue in the cemetery proved that his predecessor had not died long ago.
He might not have even been dead for a day.
In one day, the death of the previous employee might not have even been processed yet, and he started working? Why the rush?
Besides, did the previously deceased Gravedigger have no family or anything?
There were many such doubts, but Chu Qing was too lazy to think about them.
And now, it seemed the reason had appeared.
However, before Chu Qing could do anything, the woman frowned and quickly reacted: "If you're not dead, then what were you doing last night? Why didn't you clock in last night? Why didn't you clock in and patrol this morning? You're slacking off on your first day, are you, Chu Qing? From now on, you're fired!"
The woman looked about forty years old, with extremely high cheekbones, very thin lips, and a shrewish expression.
And her words were even more interesting.
To fire a Gravedigger from the tomb he worked in? This was one of the most imaginative jokes Chu Qing had ever heard.
But before Chu Qing could speak, An Ruoxue walked forward and looked at the woman: "Who are you?"
The woman glanced at An Ruoxue: "I'm the manager from the North Mountain Office, Huang Hong."
An Ruoxue's lips curled up, revealing a cold smile: "In that case, from now on, you are fired!"
"What? How dare you fire me?"
The woman named Huang Hong, in her forties, walked forward. Judging by her appearance, if Chu Qing and Fang Ping hadn't been there, she would have looked like she was about to make a move.
An Ruoxue didn't care at all. She took out two papers from her Hermes bag, first looked at Chu Qing and said, "Someone originally wanted to give you a surprise."
Then she looked at Huang Hong: "This morning, I called your North Mountain Office's Manager Wang, Wang Tao. Now, partial operating rights of North Mountain Cemetery and North Mang Mountain Scenic Area have been leased to me and Mr. Chu Qing for twenty years at a price of ten million. Therefore, we two have all personnel appointment and dismissal rights for the North Mountain Office. My name is An Ruoxue, do you have any other questions?"
As soon as she said this, Huang Hong's face paled slightly. But seeing the black and white paper, along with the signatures and fingerprints, she simply couldn't react: "This fast?"
Even Chu Qing had this question. This fast? Had An Ruoxue handled this matter overnight? Moreover, the three members of the Lin family had not even been buried yet!
However, it was clear that he had underestimated his ex-girlfriend's decisiveness.
That's right, at the Lin family villa now, after the Lin family's annihilation, not to mention the shareholders of Senmu Group, friends of the Lin family in the business world, and various distant relatives had all arrived.
And she, as the special heir of the Lin family's estate, should be the target of public criticism.
Precisely because she was the target of public criticism, An Ruoxue, who had witnessed everything yesterday, understood very well.
Even with some minor tricks, it would be difficult for her to completely swallow this fortune, as there were not only overt means but also covert ones.
And the only person who could protect her and enable her to do all this was Chu Qing.
Therefore, she spent the night quickly sorting out the Lin family's available liquid funds, found the Lin family's contacts, and called the Manager Wang in charge of North Mountain. Within a few hours, she privately completed this contract.
It was a gift to Chu Qing, and at the same time, a protective charm for her to survive.
This woman's intelligence and executive decisiveness were indeed beyond that of ordinary people.
Chu Qing saw through this little thought but didn't care.
So-called official documents and contracts would only be effective during this period, and for the first few months or half a year after the arrival of the terrifying era.
Later, as social order descended into chaos, fists and strength would be the only 'contract'.
However, he didn't pay attention to these trivial matters at the moment. Instead, he looked at Huang Hong in front of him.
As expected, this North Mountain Cemetery contained other secrets he didn't know.
And the key to the puzzle should lie with this woman named Huang Hong.
He slowly walked forward, and Huang Hong subconsciously took a few steps back.
Her expression was not good, it was unclear whether it was because she was fired or for some other reason. Even, a fleeting trace of vicious killing intent flashed in her eyes.
She looked at this handsome man who looked unreal.
Finally, Chu Qing stopped five meters in front of her, slowing down.
Then, he finally spoke.
And this first sentence made Huang Hong turn pale with shock: "You have a strong smell of corpse qi on you."
Huang Hong forced a smile: "What are you talking about? The humidity is heavy? I'll go get some cupping done then..."
With that, the woman turned and left without looking back, driving away in a flash.
Chu Qing calmly watched the receding back of her car. Fang Ping, standing beside him, finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother Qing, isn't this person a bit strange?"
Chu Qing grunted, thoughtfully.
Fang Ping, on the other hand, his eyes suddenly lit up. The events of last night had made him understand that there were other things in this world.
These things could control others' lives and destinies at any time.
And his good brother was definitely an expert among them!
A paper figure casually folded could save him from fire and water. He was clearly no ordinary person.
At this moment, Fang Ping had already imagined that facing this obviously strange woman, the two of them, plus An Ruoxue, would form a paranormal investigation team like in a novel or anime.
A sense of legendary mission that couldn't be described filled him, and Fang Ping immediately lost his previous tiredness, becoming spirited.
"Brother Qing, when do we set off?"
Chu Qing glanced strangely at the excited Fang Ping. It was very difficult for him to understand where this guy's enthusiasm came from.
"Set off, set off for what?"
Fang Ping pointed at the exhaust fumes from Huang Hong's departing car: "Of course, to investigate this woman! She's acting suspiciously, she must not be up to anything good!"
Chu Qing's gaze at this guy became even stranger: "Fang Ping, since you were little, didn't teachers teach you a principle?"
Fang Ping blinked: "What principle?"
"When encountering danger and bad people, of course, you report to the police and find Detective Uncle Hat."
"Huh?"
Fang Ping was stunned. He had never expected this.
However, Chu Qing ignored him and actually took out his phone in front of him and dialed: "Hello, I want to report a crime."
