Chapter 292: Do You Prefer Teddy Bears or Pikachu?

Chu Jiang only wanted to reply with one sentence: Only fools are reckless. When encountering supernatural events, it’s always the cautious ones who survive till the end.

The only regret he had was that Ghost Diary seemed to have become smarter, it didn’t release any information about Ghost Buddha or White Tiger this time. Even if Chu Jiang left it behind and came out first, it didn’t say anything, as it had already made its "demonstration".

Just then, financial officer Chen Keai knocked on the door and came in.

Before Chu Jiang could even ask what was going on, she rushed over to the boss and whispered in his ear, "Will Miss Jing be working here from now on?"

The "misunderstanding" between the two of them had of course been resolved. Chen Keai originally thought that this special guest would soon leave.

But what made her feel uneasy was that the boss’s secretary was actually helping her with the onboarding process?? Luckily, the assigned position was not a cashier, it seemed to be a temporary position as an ordinary office clerk.

Otherwise, Chen Keai would unavoidably start to make some associations…

"Yes, do you have any questions?" Chu Jiang looked at her.

Chen Keai shook her head repeatedly, "Boss, where are you going on a business trip?"

"Sanjin Mountain."

"Will you take someone with you?"

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, Duan Mingen successfully came back alive yesterday. This way, the company would have three Ghost Master employees: Zhou Wenshan, Duan Mingen, and Jing Ruoxue.

So, should we choose someone to go together?

By the way, since we are cooperating with the Jing family, let’s have Jing Ruoxue send two reliable Ghost Masters over later.

As for the quota of Ghost Master assistants provided by the research institute, we can discuss this later. Chu Jiang needs to interview the other party at least before feeling comfortable letting them come to work here.

"I might bring Jing Ruoxue along."

When Chen Keai heard Chu Jiang’s answer, she was momentarily surprised, then hesitated for a while before eventually nodding and saying goodbye.

Chu Jiang looked somewhat amused and said, "Did you really think I went on a business trip for vacation?"

"It’s very dangerous, otherwise I wouldn’t have left you behind."

Chen Keai’s eyes brightened for a moment, then dimmed again as she said, "Forget it, I can’t hold you back."

Just as the other person was about to leave, Chu Jiang called out to her, "Let’s have a late-night snack at your apartment tonight. We talked about it last time but something unexpected came up, and I stood you up."

Chen Keai immediately turned with excitement and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, I’ll buy you your favorite food."

After saying that, she left happily. People who didn’t know might have thought she had won the lottery as a little money lover~

……

After Chen Keai left, Chu Jiang reflected on his actions. He realized that at some point, he had started to accommodate this girl.

Is this knitting? Wuji, you must remember, the prettier the woman, the more likely she will deceive people.

What was that other saying? Women only affect my sword-pulling speed.

……

On that evening, Chu Jiang arrived at Chen Keai’s place on time for their appointment.

This guy has tidied up his home so clean, even the couplet at the front door is newly pasted. If you didn’t know, you would think it’s Chinese New Year.

And Chen Keai not only ordered takeout, but the normally lazy her also personally cooked several dishes, claiming it was to thank the boss for taking care of them for a long time.

The following plot, however, was quite normal.

The man and woman sat on the floor next to a small table in the living room, facing the city night view outside the window. They ate small dishes, drank alcohol, and talked about life.

But Chen Keai couldn’t handle alcohol. Although they were drinking beer, after a few glasses, she started to feel dizzy. Her cheeks turned red, but her eyes were bright, like a cat.

"Me, me talking to you, my dream is to buy a big house, not have to work every day, sleep until I wake up naturally, count money until my hand cramps."

"Of course, it would be best if there is a domineering CEO at home, someone who loves me, pampers me, and takes care of me…"

After finishing, Chen Keai looked at Chu Jiang and asked, "Do you think I’m very ordinary?"

Chu Jiang calmly took a sip of beer and said, "When I was still studying, my dream wasn’t much different from yours, to have money, beautiful women, and status."

"Of course, things have changed now, and everything can’t go back to the way it was."

"You’re silly~" Chen Keai, wearing loose teddy bear pajamas, squinted her eyes and leaned on Chu Jiang. "Isn’t there a beautiful woman right here? Your dream has come true one-third, you know~"

Chu Jiang reached out and pinched her flushed cheek. "You’re drunk, do you want me to take you to bed?"

Chen Keai put down her glass with a snap and decisively hugged Chu Jiang, as if she wanted to say something. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she almost vomited all over him.

So, Chu Jiang could only shake his head helplessly. He picked up this little woman like a cat and carried her to the bathroom to vomit.

After Chen Keai finished vomiting, Chu Jiang wiped her mouth with a towel, helped her rinse her mouth, and then carried her back to bed to sleep.

Before Chu Jiang tucked Chen Keai in, she grabbed his hand while still half-asleep and asked, "Boss, do you like teddy bear underwear or Pikachu?"

"I like both."

"You can’t choose both. Pick one!"

"Then teddy bear." Chu Jiang remained calm as he continued to engage with this intoxicated woman.

"Hehe," Chen Keai giggled foolishly, "I’m wearing teddy bear underwear right now~"

After saying that, she closed her eyes in a drowsy state. Her sleeping position was not good, as she curled up with the blanket and mumbled something incoherent.

Despite Chu Jiang’s attempts to correct her, he eventually let her be.

Chu Jiang naturally didn’t do anything inappropriate to Chen Keai. He returned to the living room alone, facing the night as he enjoyed some small dishes.

He wondered if there will be a day when he can return to a normal life…

……

The next morning, Chu Jiang made sure Chen Keai was still sound asleep and everything was fine before leaving the house and driving to Tianfeng Mansion to pick up Jing Ruoxue.

He had already arranged with Jing Ruoxue to go to Sanjin Mountain Nanyi Town today to explore the source of Luohe. This matter had been delayed for too long.

Nanyi Town is located at the foot of Sanjin Mountain, with a small permanent population of only a few thousand people. However, in recent years, the town has been developed into a tourist attraction and has gained some popularity.

But this is not entirely a good thing, because some tourists who have visited the area have unexpectedly developed symptoms of believing in the "River God" and even posted travel diaries online.

It is precisely because this belief is beginning to spread that headquarters has asked Chu Jiang to go and investigate as soon as possible.

After listening to Chu Jiang’s general description, Jing Ruoxue became interested. She said that this might not necessarily be harmful, just like the god of Chudi and the Young Fate Giver, the origins of these two beliefs, also protect the local people, don’t they?

Chu Jiang, on the other hand, reserved his opinion. He was more interested in knowing whether there was a statue of Wang Lei in Luohe…
