Chapter 221: Unexpected Visitor
Although Xu Yanting didn’t understand why Chu Jiang asked this, he carefully thought for a moment and finally answered clearly, "No."
"In the past five or six generations of our Xu family, there haven’t been any particularly prominent figures. As for before the fifth or sixth generation, it’s difficult to determine."
"Okay." Chu Jiang didn’t have high expectations to begin with, so he couldn’t be considered disappointed now.
In any case, he would take care of the Xu family both emotionally and logically.
"Captain Chu, there is something, if I may ask for your help." Xu Yanting nervously rubbed his hands and asked, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Go ahead."
"It’s about my grandson. He hasn’t accomplished anything up till now, just wandering around aimlessly. Could you please arrange a proper job for him or something?"
Xu Shengtian, with hopeful eyes, also looked at Chu Jiang.
This request is very simple, it’s just a way to further deepen the connection between both sides. The old man didn’t directly say to marry his granddaughter, he was already being polite.
"Sure, come work as the head of security at my company. We’re short-staffed, and I don’t trust hiring people from outside."
As Chu Jiang said this, Xu Shengtian immediately stood up, stood at attention, and saluted. "Yes, sir!"
"By the way, I served in the military, I’m pretty good with my hands." He demonstrated a few moves. Serving in the military, of course, meant completing two years of military service, but these days there’s no chance of going to war anyway.
Chu Jiang was a bit surprised by this, and Xu Xiaoxiao confirmed from the side, "Although my cousin’s way of thinking is a bit eccentric, he is indeed quite skilled in fighting. Last time, when his group of followers went crazy, he was the one who took them all down."
"Okay, can you shoot?" Chu Jiang asked again.
"I’ve learned it and can use it, but I’m not extremely skilled," Xu Shengtian answered honestly.
"Then practice when you have free time and recruit reliable security personnel. Don’t hire those second-rate thugs. From now on, your team will be in charge of the security for our company, as well as the entire Tianfeng Mansion."
Xu Shengtian saluted again, saying, "Yes!"
Xu Yanting smiled when he saw this, then he looked at his granddaughter next to him, Xu Xiaoxiao just shook her head, so he didn’t say anything else.
……
Xu Yanting took his granddaughter away, while Chu Jiang gave Xu Shengtian some money to handle the equipment and personnel on his own, which was also a test for him.
If Xu Shengtian couldn’t handle this position, Chu Jiang would dismiss him without hesitation.
The security at the ordinary person level has been temporarily dealt with, but what about the security at the Ghost Master level? After all, Chu Jiang cannot stay in Luohe City forever.
Li Xiaolang and Gao Yifei are not Ghost Masters, so should they select someone from the list provided by the research institute?
Thinking about this, Chu Jiang browsed the relevant list given by the deputy minister on the computer.
There are more than thirty Ghost Masters on this list, both male and female. Of course, most of them are Ghost Masters who only control one ghost, which means they have a short lifespan.
However, there is a shortage of Ghost Masters at the moment, this is an objective fact, and the research institute cannot provide Chu Jiang with too many choices. It can only be said that as time goes on, there will be more and more Ghost Master resources.
As for these abilities of the Ghost Masters, Chu Jiang took a look and didn’t find anything particularly impressive.
Speaking of which, if there were any impressive ones, the research institute would definitely focus on nurturing them. If there were any capable of taking charge on their own, they would surely be sent to be city leaders. Overall, it’s highly unlikely for them to be assigned as the captain’s assistant.
In the end, Chu Jiang shook his head and thought about it later. He didn’t think highly of any of these people. In about half a year, he estimated that there would be a bunch of Ghost Masters who could control two ghosts.
So how should they handle this gap?
Just as Chu Jiang was pondering, he received a phone call from an unknown number on his mobile phone.
He picked it up and listened, and it turned out to be the psychologist Zhou Wenshan. "I’ve decided to come and work with you. How’s the treatment?"
"Treatment is excellent. We’re actually in need of people."
"By the way, do you have some combat capability? We don’t need you to go to the battlefield, just for self-defense purposes. It would be even better if you could also protect the ordinary people in the company."
Zhou Wenshan suddenly laughed, "You’re not being very polite, are you? Right from the start, you’re asking me to do two jobs."
"I can protect myself, and I don’t mind protecting my colleagues. But I want double the salary."
"No problem," Chu Jiang yawned and used a pillow, happily agreeing.
"Okay then, I expect to reach Luohe City tonight."
Hanging up the phone, Chu Jiang felt quite relaxed. This way, he could temporarily focus on his own tasks.
Next, Chu Jiang prepared to visit the Lin Ancestral Hall and, by the way, let most of the surveillance staff of the research institute go, leaving only one or two people stationed there.
Anyway, the old master could still hold on, and he even made sure to completely conceal the supernatural aspects of the ancestral hall.
With this, even if other Ghost Masters sneaked in here, they would not be able to detect anything unusual.
……
When Chu Jiang finished visiting the ancestral hall and returned to the entrance of the Tianfeng Mansion, suddenly, a wriggling pit appeared on the ground. Even the tiles were pushed aside, as if something eerie was about to emerge from underground…
Chu Jiang frowned slightly, he could sense that there was someone beneath the pit, and he had seen this kind of supernatural power before.
Soon, a battered man crawled out of the pit. He wore a black top hat and a white shirt. His eyes had dark circles, and his overall expression was eerie.
This man was seriously injured, with multiple bloody wounds all over his body, as if they were cut by sharp blades. The blood stained not only his body, but even the soil in the pit.
Seeing Chu Jiang coldly staring at him, the man gritted his teeth and knelt down before him. "Captain Chu, please save me. I am being chased by people from Sincerity Company."
At the same time, he took off the top hat from his head and placed it in front of Chu Jiang. "This item is my spoils of war. I remember Captain Chu being interested in it, I hope you can accept it."
Yes, the two of them had met before, at the Xu family’s mansion.
Initially, Sincerity Company sent an ordinary person and two Ghost Masters to "treat" Xu Yanting.
However, they were not wise and actively provoked Chu Jiang, ultimately being tricked and driven away by him.
This eerie man in front of him had left a deep impression on Chu Jiang back then.
He was the most rebellious one, and also the one who challenged Chu Jiang the most.
But after finding out that Chu Jiang was the leader of Luohe City, he became the most timid one, the quickest to apologize, and not as dramatic as the other man in the hat.
At that moment, Chu Jiang realized that this guy wasn’t as reckless as he appeared. He was just acting according to his own identity and doing what he needed to do.
This kind of person must have learned a lesson from society, which is why he could be so determined.
As for how the other person managed to come here, it should be related to Research Institute No. 21 lifting the control order in Luohe City. But this guy is probably the first Ghost Master who dared to come here since the order was lifted.
