Good Night, Mr. Ghost - Chapter 39
The group soon arrived at the towering skyscraper located in the heart of the city. The building was magnificent, at least sixty or seventy floors high, exuding an aura of wealth. Below it was a thirty-story shopping mall.
Brownish drove the car into the underground parking lot. The three of them got out of the car. Jiang Chenyi looked at the crowded parking lot and asked, “Here?”
“Uh-huh, this is our company. This entire building is our company’s property, all eighty-eight floors of it. The bottom thirty floors are rented out to the mall. Our company develops tech products, and there are a lot of people working here~”
Jiang Chenyi swallowed hard, feeling like it was quite an impressive place. “So the rest of the floors are used by you?”
Brownish nodded, “Yes, apart from the thirty-five floors for work, there’s also an employee cafeteria and dormitory. The dorms are on the upper floors, eighteen in total, housing a few hundred people now. There are also five floors dedicated to the cafeteria and employee recreation.”
It sounded impressive. Working here must come with great benefits!
Jiang Chenyi’s eyes widened slightly. “And Loudi is here for…?”
“Of course, to be the chairman~” Meng Loudi showed no emotional reaction. Jiang asked, “Can Loudi really handle it?”
Could this Mr. Ghost really take on such a role? Although Jiang wasn’t quite sure what being a chairman entailed, it seemed like a very prestigious position.
Brownish smiled, “No worries, everything can be handled by the former chairman. Mr. Meng just needs to be a glamorous mascot!”
“Mascot?” Meng Loudi looked at Brownish, puzzled.
“Former chairman?” Jiang also asked.
The girl ignored her boss and answered Jiang’s question. “Yes, yes, as I mentioned, Mr. Meng has twelve officers. The chairman, the board of directors, and several presidents and senior managers are all officers. Our company has been around for seventy or eighty years and will continue to develop.”
“Seventy or eighty years, that’s an old company.”
“Yes, yes, our company is Ba Lin.”
Jiang Chenyi thought for a moment and suddenly felt that “Ba Lin” sounded familiar. Oh, oh, oh! He remembered!
“Isn’t that the company praised for its long-term development? I heard its market value has reached billions or something? I forgot, but it seems quite high.” Jiang muttered.
“Yes, yes, it’s said to be three hundred billion yuan now, which is still quite small. But because our company invests heavily in tech research and is now working on environmental resources, it will develop well in the future.”
Brownish smiled.
Jiang was dizzy, his mind echoing with “three hundred billion” yuan, his legs feeling weak. He clutched the young man’s sleeve and said, “Mr. Ghost, you’re rich now-keep me.”
Yes, Jiang was that shameless.
Miss Rabbit turned her head, wagged her finger, and smiled, “You can’t just spend money randomly, but we will fulfill the chief’s small wishes~ After all, that’s the treatment the chief deserves.”
Meng Loudi, unfazed, wrapped an arm around Jiang Chenyi, lifting him up like a large doll, and asked, “So, how’s my salary?”
This was what Mr. Ghost cared about most.
Brownish thought for a moment and said, “Since the chief hasn’t contributed to the district yet, we temporarily set it at a hundred thousand a month. As for other things, we’ll adjust appropriately. If the chief’s salary isn’t enough, we can allocate more funds.”
Jiang was completely stunned, holding the man’s head and murmuring, “A hundred thousand a month, one point two million a year, oh my god, Loudi, you’ll surpass my net worth in a year.”
Jiang Chenyi’s net worth, including all his assets, didn’t exceed a million.
At the stairs, Meng Loudi put Jiang down, held his hand, and said gently, “It’s all yours.”
As a ghost, Mr. Ghost didn’t need money; his money was all for taking care of his Jiang.
Jiang Chenyi whimpered, what a perfect man!
But, there seemed to be something more…
The young man’s intuition was right.
Mr. Ghost flashed a devastatingly charming smile and said, “So, Chenyi, don’t leave me~ okay?”
Here it came, the beauty trap again, now with the lure of money.
The life of a freeloading couch potato was beckoning to Jiang Chenyi.
Jiang almost wanted to agree.
No need to work, spending every day in sweet bliss with his lover, just spending money and relaxing.
But, that wasn’t the life Jiang Chenyi wanted!
The young man used immense willpower to resist the urge to say yes, and said righteously, “No, what’s yours is yours, what’s mine is mine, we can’t do it like this!”
“Just now, Chenyi said you wanted me to keep you.” Mr. Ghost looked pitifully downcast.
He looked like a big dog wanting a reward but getting nothing.
Jiang Chenyi took a deep breath, patting his head, “Don’t make that face, I won’t fall for it. Our future can’t be so bleak. Love is something two people maintain together, loving each other while leaving room. If love is too tight, it will suffocate both.”
“I won’t, and I won’t let Chenyi feel that way either.” Mr. Ghost hugged him, resting his chin on his shoulder, “Please~ Chenyi.”
Brownish covered her face, almost unable to hold back a scream.
A live sugar-spreading scene!
The chief of the eighth district was asking handsome Chenyi to be kept!
Oh my, oh my, this must be captured!
The girl, trembling, raised her phone and snapped a picture.
Jiang Chenyi coldly pushed Mr. Ghost away, “No, I’ve realized I can’t work with you. If we work together, neither of us will be efficient.”
“What?!” Mr. Ghost frowned.
Jiang looked at him, eyes firm, “I’ll find another job. I’m a man, I can support myself.”
“What? You said you’d support me, that it didn’t matter if I didn’t work, and now you disagree?” Meng Loudi looked shocked, pitifully questioning, “Was Chenyi just playing with me?”
“Ahem, of course not, it’s just…”
Jiang Chenyi scratched his chin, thinking this was about a man’s dignity, but saying it would make Mr. Ghost upset, right?
“Just what?” Meng Loudi watched his lover, ready to see how he’d explain.
“Uh, I’ll tell you tonight.” Jiang tilted his head, changing the subject.
“But…”
Jiang Chenyi covered his mouth, looking at the rabbit spirit lost in her fantasies, “Today’s your first day at work, do well, hmm~”
“Alright…” Meng Loudi looked disappointed.
But Mr. Ghost was already mentally jotting down notes.
Today, Chenyi started to fool him, Chenyi didn’t want to be kept, Chenyi didn’t want to be with him every day, very well, was Chenyi tired of him?
Was being with him no longer exciting?
Ugh, poor ghost, was his lover preparing to leave him?
Thinking this, Meng Loudi’s eyes reddened.
Jiang Chenyi was shocked to see his lover’s eyes redden in three seconds.
No need to think, this guy must be imagining something bad.
“Loudi, what’s wrong?” Jiang quickly touched his face, trying to comfort him.
Brownish pretended not to notice and took another photo.
Mr. Ghost caressed his wrist, softly asking, “Chenyi, do you not like me anymore? Is being with me boring?”
Jiang Chenyi: “???”
“Do you have someone else you like?” Mr. Ghost weakly asked, ready to eliminate any rival.
Jiang Chenyi chuckled, standing on tiptoe to whisper in his ear, “What are you thinking? Don’t overthink, I only have you. I’ll explain tonight, okay? It’s your first day at work, be happy.”
Mr. Ghost hugged his waist, voice tinged with a plea, “Then, a kiss.”
Jiang Chenyi kissed his cheek, successfully bringing back Mr. Ghost’s smile.
Brownish covered her face, feeling she could ascend on the spot.
How could they spread dog food like that, quick, quick! I can take it, please continue!
Jiang Chenyi pulled Meng Loudi along, looking at the blushing Brownish, smiling wryly, “Sorry for the delay, let’s hurry up.”
“Okay!” The girl cheerfully led them upstairs.
They returned to the ground floor, entering from the mall side, and took the elevator up.
The thirty-first floor arrived quickly, but two security guards stood at the elevator entrance.
Brownish led them, and the guards didn’t stop them, allowing them to pass.
The rabbit spirit in her youthful form led the strangers into the office, attracting many eyes.
Brownish looked at the bustling lobby, tilting her head, smiling, “What? Has everyone finished their work?”
“Uh, uh, I’m going right away.”
“I need to deliver this file to the operations director.”
“Oh dear, oh dear, so busy, so busy.”
Everyone quickly withdrew their gazes, trying to look very busy.
Brownish led the two to the elevator, and they disappeared inside.
The surrounding people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh my, Miss Director’s smile is a bit scary now.”
“But who are those two? Could it be the rumored new chairman?”
“Maybe, they look so dignified and impressive!”
“Yeah, yeah, if it’s them, we’ll know at the afternoon meeting, right? I heard there’s a meeting. But, aren’t you flattering a bit early?”
“Hehe, just practicing.”
Brownish led them up.
Jiang Chenyi asked, “Brownish, is your name really Brownish?”
“Uh-huh, yes, even if it’s strange, when I say my grandparents named me, with deep meaning, no one questions it.”
