Chapter 192 Homecoming
"Of course, I know that when I say this, you guys will definitely say I’m a ‘weird imagination person.’ In fact, I have undisclosed sources of information."
"Even if we leave that aside, I have other evidence."
"There was once a small conflict between Chu Jiang and Yan Wanli, do you guys still remember?"
"Yan Wanli’s codename is Ghost Corpse, take another look at Chu Jiang’s hands, do they look like a corpse’s hands?"
"Yan Wanli’s defeat is likely due to a series of ghosts restraining each other."
"In short, this is both proof and intimidation, and it’s also likely a signal. Chu Jiang not only returned to this world, but he is also conveying messages to certain people."
Besides the "hidden meaning" that Chu Jiang wanted to express, some people have analyzed his "greeting." They believe it should be a special location in Luohe City, and maybe Black Sun is still sealed there…
In short, the news of Chu Jiang’s return spread throughout the entire world in just half an hour. People’s opinions gradually changed from being divided to being unanimous, that is:
Chu Jiang is indeed alive and back. On one hand, he emphasized that Luohe City is his territory; on the other hand, he made a short video using a change in his hands to send out a signal to the outside world.
—————————————-
As the center of the public opinion storm, Chu Jiang himself seemed to be unaware.
Deputy Minister Liu Xuewen, after helping Chu Jiang announce his return, naturally became curious about his experiences during this period of time.
But Chu Jiang didn’t explain much, only saying that he would return to headquarters in three days. If there was anything to ask, they could ask then. In any case, Black Sun had been safely sealed.
By the way, Chu Jiang also told the Institute not to remove the surveillance personnel from the Lin Ancestral Hall. The specific handling could be discussed after he returned to Luohe City after visiting headquarters.
Lastly, Chu Jiang requested a three-day leave to go home, asking the Deputy Minister to find someone to cover his shift.
This was a reasonable request, and although Liu Xuewen was itching to know more, he agreed directly. He also mentioned that the Institute had been protecting his family well.
After ending the phone call, Chu Jiang told Li Xiaolang some things and then left the company directly.
He checked the time and thought that if he went fast enough, he might be able to arrive in Luoxi City before noon, and he could pick up his sister from school on the way.
However, when Chu Jiang arrived at the underground parking lot, he was very surprised to find that his car was gone, the Mazda that Wang Lei had left behind.
Although that car had been damaged once in Black Sun’s Ghost Domain, everything in the Ghost Domain was fake, only people were real. How could a car from the real world go missing?
Thinking about this, Chu Jiang made a phone call to Li Xiaolang and then found out that Yan Wanli, the jerk, had taken his car. Did he really think he was the person in charge of Luohe City??
After scolding Yan Wanli a bit, Chu Jiang decided to settle the score with that guy next time.
Looking around the garage, Chu Jiang casually called Chen Keai. He remembered that the company’s finances had a car, right?
Although he could take a taxi home, it was rare that he had money now. Taking a taxi to pick up his sister from school would be too cheap.
As for Li Xiaolang, he definitely didn’t have a car. He came by plane…
"Hello, boss, what’s up?" Chen Keai was a bit surprised. Didn’t they just meet recently? She even worried that the boss might raise any issues about her salary.
"Could you come down to the garage with the key? I need to use your car for a bit."
"Oh sure, but my car is rented. Boss, please be careful with it and try not to scratch it." After saying that, Chen Keai prepared to hang up and go downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jiang said, "Rented? Well, then I’ll buy it."
Chen Keai was stunned for a moment, then she immediately said in an excited voice, "Thank you, boss~"
While talking, Chen Keai’s eyes were almost sparkling. Although the red Mercedes she rented wasn’t considered a top luxury car, buying it would still cost around seven to eight hundred thousand.
Chu Jiang was a bit confused, "Why thank me? I never said I would give it to you after buying it."
Chen Keai felt like banging her head against the wall right then. What exactly was this man… Was he a typical macho, or was he intentionally playing with her??
"Alright, hurry up and come down. I don’t have time."
"Okay" replied weakly, Chen Keai took the keys and went downstairs.
————————————–
Chu Jiang saw Chen Keai coming down to the garage dressed in a smart black and white office outfit, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
After the little accountant waved to him and parked the car nearby, Chu Jiang opened the car door and said to Chen Keai, "Come with me to my hometown, sit in the passenger seat."
"Ah, ah?" Chen Keai looked confused, "No, boss, this is too sudden, I’m not mentally prepared."
Chu Jiang was speechless, "Where were you thinking?"
"Right now, I need to prove to my parents that I have a very serious job."
"Just by saying it myself, they definitely won’t believe it; even if I come back driving a nice car, they might even think I obtained it through illegal means."
"But with you it’s different, I’ve observed, you have the aura of a professional office worker."
"After coming home, you can say that you are my secretary. You don’t need to do anything, just follow me and explain to my parents along the way."
After understanding, Chen Keai still had a difficult expression on his face. "But boss, this is too sudden, isn’t it? I came here suddenly and I didn’t bring anything except my phone."
"And I’m afraid that your family will misunderstand…"
Before Chen Keai could finish speaking, Chu Jiang interrupted with his finger. "Ten thousand a day."
"Okay!" Chen Keai immediately agreed with enthusiasm. He quickly got out of the driver’s seat and switched to the passenger seat, and even fastened his seatbelt properly, very obedient.
Chu Jiang found this a bit amusing. He got into the car and drove the Mercedes out of the garage. "Are you short on money or something?"
Chen Keai scratched his head awkwardly. "Not really, not that short… But money, everyone loves it. I’m someone who cares about face and has a lot of expenses…"
"You know you care about face, that’s enough." Chu Jiang could tell that Chen Keai could afford a cheap car worth tens of thousands after some hesitation.
However, that kind of car obviously couldn’t satisfy her daily need for showing off and enhancing her social media presence, so she chose to rent a car that wasn’t as cost-effective.
Of course, Chu Jiang wouldn’t dislike Chen Keai because of this, she is just a very ordinary person, with strengths and weaknesses, that’s all.
