Chapter 112: Arrogance Followed by Humility
The gloomy man heard Chu Jiang's "comment," which made him very unhappy, but he also knew it wasn't the time to erupt, so he just held back.
After a few people came out, the round-faced middle-aged man saw a Mazda outside the villa and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Old Li, have you ever seen a classic movie called 'Black Gold'?"
The man in the tall hat replied cooperatively, "Of course I've seen it, what's the matter?"
"Do you remember the famous line from that movie: 'We drive Mercedes and Rolls-Royces, and you drive Mazda, no wonder you get stuck in traffic!'"
The man in the tall hat laughed along, "You drive a Mazda, you're not qualified to attend this meeting, you know~"
The gloomy man hadn't watched this movie, but he found it quite interesting to see these two people singing and harmonizing.
However, Xu Xiaoxiao muttered on the side, "Two-faced people, what a pain in the butt."
Chu Jiang didn't show any expression changes, he just looked towards the distant road.
Soon, a taxi pulled up outside the mansion, and a middle-aged man with a slightly tired look got out of the car, dressed in a neat and tidy manner.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a group of people waiting for him outside the mansion, which made him slightly surprised and flattered.
The middle-aged man was Zhao Dahe, who had just agreed to help the Sincerity Company a little before joining the company as a member.
However, Zhao Dahe didn't expect that the people from Sincerity Company would value him so much and come out specifically to meet him.
This made Zhao Dahe, who had shaved his beard and changed into new clothes before setting off, walk briskly towards them.
But before he could say anything, Zhao Dahe suddenly realized that a certain young person present seemed very familiar...
"Hello, Mr. Zhao." The round-faced middle-aged man stepped forward and shook hands.
"Hello, hello." Zhao Dahe felt a bit stiff, because he recognized who the person was, but how could he be here??
The man in the tall hat also approached, saying, "Mr. Zhao, as we agreed earlier, we asked you to come and help. It's a test for you, and if you pass, you can join the company."
"The situation has changed now, someone wants to steal our Sincerity Company's business."
"How about this, you just need to show your skills a bit, and make this young man here realize the challenge and retreat. Isn't this request reasonable?"
The man in the tall hat spoke and also pointed towards Chu Jiang's direction.
Chu Jiang finally understood that these people were planning something cunning.
They didn't know his true abilities, so they didn't dare to act rashly, which is why they brought a beginner ghost master from the community.
In this way, even if Chu Jiang's ghosts were terrifying, it wouldn't harm the people from Sincerity Company, but rather a scapegoat.
If that's true, the people from Sincerity Company will definitely change their attitude and not be so arrogant anymore.
But if Chu Jiang only shows average strength, then they won't let Chu Jiang go, the person who dares to provoke them.
Xu Wanglong, who is standing aside, also frowns. So the person who is going to treat the old man is not from Sincerity Company, but a newcomer?
Zhao Dahe listens to the instructions from the two people across from him, and he breaks into a cold sweat. Are they kidding? This person is the head of Luohe City. If he offends the other party, can he still stay here in the future?
Not to mention the Ghost Master who passed the assessment at the research institute and was sent out there as a leader. Generally, their fighting power is stronger than ordinary Ghost Masters. Otherwise, how could they control those sneaky ghosts in the dark corners of the city?
And most importantly, there are official forces standing behind others.
If you're put on a Ghost Master wanted list, then you won't be able to stay in this country anymore. No matter which city you go to, the local authorities will treat you as a wanted criminal.
Seeing Chu Jiang looking at him coldly, Zhao Dahe quickly makes a decision. He pushes aside the two people from Sincerity Company in front of him and takes big strides to stand in front of Chu Jiang, showing a smile.
"Ah, aren't you the person in charge from Chu? We just spoke yesterday. I'm Zhao Dahe. I also provided important clues to the person in charge yesterday. I wonder if you still remember."
Chu Jiang looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I originally wanted to join Sincerity Company, but I realized these people lack vision. They didn't even recognize you. I think I'll pass."
Zhao Dahe knew very well that if he didn't help Sincerity Company at this moment, they would criticize him afterwards. Since that's the case, he might as well pick a side completely.
Zhao Dahe's words made the faces of several people from Sincerity Company completely change.
The person in charge? Isn't Wang Lei the person in charge of Luohe City? He has even met the man with the top hat before.
They didn't plan on entering the city this time. They thought it was just a private matter and wouldn't have any intersection with the local person in charge.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at their destination, they bumped into the other party and even had a conflict.
Facing Zhao Dahe's "surrender," Chu Jiang simply nodded and said, "Go back. These people don't want to actively help with supernatural events, they just want to use you."
"That's how their company operates, squeezing from top to bottom. There's no need to think highly of them."
Zhao Dahe's face changed, he understood that Sincerity Company is different.
After all, he was only a folk Ghost Master who had never left Luohe City. His access to information in this field was quite limited. He only knew that this was a famous Ghost Master organization and thought that joining them would lead to a better future...
"Well, I'll be going now and not disturb the person in charge." After saying that, Zhao Dahe left expressionlessly, ignoring the Sincerity Company team.
Xu Wanglong saw this scene and was a bit dumbfounded. It turns out this young man has quite an impressive background! Is he someone who is even more influential than Sincerity Company and should not be offended?
Xu Xiaoxiao's face was filled with surprise. She never expected that the person in charge mentioned by Chu Jiang was real.
At this moment, Chu Jiang approached the Sincerity Company group. He looked down upon them with a cold gaze and said, "Why is everyone speechless? Speak up."
"Um," the round-faced middle-aged man cleared his throat. He was quite shameless, immediately smiling and saying, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. So, this brother here is the local person in charge? Where did the previous person in charge go?"
In theory, with the size of the entire Sincerity Company and the support of a mysterious backer, they shouldn't fear just one person in charge.
But the problem lies in the fact that the person in charge isn't an individual who fights alone. Behind him stands Research Institute No. 21.
If the Sincerity Company dares to get rid of any leader, they are likely to be uprooted by the research institute.
After all, these people cannot join the research institute and be used by them; they are also a potential danger.
If they dare to kill a leader on their own initiative, it would disrupt the regional stability and there might even be a high-ranking individual personally coming to confront them.
Therefore, Sincerity Company never offends leaders in various regions and sometimes even bribes them, trying to maintain a good relationship with local leaders.
Take Luozhou City for example, when Fang Tianci made a phone call, Sincerity Company sent Deng Chengren over to help. Whether he could actually help or not is another story, but giving face is still necessary.
