Chapter 195: Reporting to Headquarters

On the evening Chu Jiang returned home, he went out again. He could sense that people from the research institute nearby were secretly guarding the area, which made him feel somewhat relieved.

Chu Jiang went out mainly to look for his surviving classmates from the past.

Originally, he wanted Cheng Jie to work at his own company as a cashier. But when he asked through WeChat, he found out that she was currently attending university in Yuetian City…

Well, not everyone is unemployed.

In the end, Chu Jiang found Gao Yifei, who used to be on the school basketball team. He was tall, sunny, and popular among girls.

But after losing his hand, he seemed to stay at home more often and stopped going to school. He always seemed to be interested in strange events happening around the world.

Gao Yifei was surprised when Chu Jiang asked him to go out. They went out together and had a barbecue.

When Chu Jiang asked if he wanted to work at his company, Gao Yifei nodded eagerly.

According to Gao Yifei himself, once he found out that ghosts had started haunting the world, he lost all interest in living his old life.

He even imagined becoming a Ghost Master like Chu Jiang, but he couldn’t find a way and he was worried about the short lifespan of a Ghost Master.

Joining Chu Jiang’s company as a regular office worker at the research institute would be a good choice for Gao Yifei.

Moreover, his family could move to the research institute and live in the residential area, which would be safer.

Chu Jiang still believed that Gao Yifei underestimated the cruelty of the supernatural world.

But it’s okay, he will understand later. For now, let him come to the company and take over Lin Yun’s job.

Gao Yifei is also someone who has experienced life and death with Chu Jiang and can be trusted.

……

Chu Jiang stayed in Luoxi City for three days. Besides spending time with his family, he helped the local person in charge, Xu Bing, solve a supernatural event.

It was only a C-level incident, but the ghost was quite difficult to find. Chu Jiang used his supernatural senses to help Xu Bing locate it.

Additionally, Chu Jiang heard from Xu Bing that Fang Tianci seemed to have gone to headquarters to transplant a second ghost. However, he had been gone for over ten days, and his fate was unknown. Even the neighboring city of Luozhou City had a new person in charge.

This surprised Chu Jiang a bit. Did Fang Tianci die? However, he didn’t think too much about it as they weren’t very close.

The three-day vacation came to an end. Chu Jiang asked Chen Keai to drive back to Luohe City on her own, while he took a plane to the headquarters in Yunjing City.

It is worth mentioning that during these three days, Chen Keai became very popular with the Chu family.

Chen Keai’s parents saw her as a potential future daughter-in-law, and Chu Le called her "sister" and they even exchanged WeChat accounts.

Chu Jiang didn’t know what to say about this, he wanted to expose the lie but also worried about his parents getting worried about his marriage, so he had to keep things as they were for now.

Luckily, Chen Keai was very rational and calculated with him every day, which made Chu Jiang feel much more relaxed.

Speaking of which, Chu Jiang initially thought that the newly acquired iron plate was some kind of seal, but it turned out that it wasn’t. Anyway, he couldn’t figure out its use.

However, one thing was for sure, this thing was very tough. Chu Jiang couldn’t even bend it with his zombie strength, which meant that the "protective mirror" was a valuable item.

……

As soon as Chu Jiang got off the plane and arrived at the airport hall, two staff members from the research institute came to greet him.

They were a man and a woman, both very polite to Chu Jiang.

The news of Chu Jiang’s return had been circulating these past few days, but there was still no official appearance, which left some people uncertain.

This time, coming back to headquarters to receive "commendation," it was Chu Jiang’s first official appearance in the supernatural circle since his return.

After sitting in the special bulletproof car, Chu Jiang heard the voice of the woman in uniform next to him and asked, "Chen Yuting?"

"Yes, please take good care of me in the days to come, Mr. Chu." Chen Yuting said politely, sitting in the back row with Chu Jiang, while the male employee was responsible for driving.

Although they had talked many times on the phone, Chu Jiang was still seeing Chen Yuting in person for the first time.

Chen Yuting had short hair and bangs, wearing a black uniform and a white shirt. Her face was clean and neat, and she was dressed appropriately. Her every move was standard, indicating that she had received special etiquette training.

"Is there any news that you can share?" Chu Jiang asked casually while looking at the scenery outside the window.

Chen Yuting wasn’t sure what aspect Chu Jiang was referring to, so she cautiously said, "If you mean good news, then you may be nominated as the captain next."

This surprised Chu Jiang a little, "Isn’t the captaincy position fixed? Which current captain is Headquarters planning to replace?"

To be honest, Chu Jiang had anticipated this.

He had saved Luohe City, and whether it was to appease or gain the support of others, Headquarters was very likely to nominate him as one of the twenty-one captains.

But being the team captain is like exchanging one carrot for another. As soon as one comes, one has to go.

So Chu Jiang estimated that there would probably be some sort of exchange of interests involved here. Unexpectedly, the news had already been released so soon.

"I heard that Yan Wanli Captain Yan seems to be planning to give up his position to you."

"Of course, I just heard. But the possibility of you becoming the team captain is quite high. Deputy Minister personally told me."

Chu Jiang was even more surprised. Could it be that Yan Wanli was a pushover? He just gave up the position of team captain like that.

You should know that this is not just a title, but also includes many rights and benefits. Otherwise, the competition for this position wouldn’t be so intense.

Although in the early stages, because there weren’t enough Ghost Masters, the authority of the team captain was lacking.

But this situation is gradually improving, or rather, deteriorating. Because paranormal events are increasing all over the country, there will naturally be more Ghost Masters created by accidents.

The number of Ghost Masters that can be assigned to each team captain will also increase.

After thinking for a while, Chu Jiang asked, "Is Yan Wanli at headquarters now?"

"Yes, it seems that a group of foreign Ghost Masters has come to visit, hoping to cooperate with our research institute."

"So headquarters specially sent a few captains who are closer by to accompany them for some negotiations."

"Foreign?" Chu Jiang became a bit interested. "Which country are they from?"

"That delegation seems to be led by an official organization from the United States, and there are also some European Ghost Masters participating."

"They have been here for several days already and haven’t left yet. They might be waiting for you, the person in charge, to appear."

"Do I have such a big reputation?" Chu Jiang said nonchalantly.

Chen Yuting said uncertainly, "I’m just speculating, I can’t be sure."
