At the same moment, the big hunchback ghost and his minions went on a killing spree in the training center.
The partner stared at the lightning and thunder outside, the curtains fluttering in the wind, and the air filled with the resentful wails of countless women echoing through the company.
"Give me back my life..."
"Swindler, come down and accompany me..."
The employees scurried about in a panic, trying to get out, only to find that all the doors and windows had been locked by Brother Mouse in advance.
The little ghosts bared their teeth and absorbed all the energy in the training center, scaring dozens of people out of their wits.
The partner panicked and rushed to the Buddha statue. He devoutly clasped his hands in prayer, beseeching the divine to fulfill his desires.
"Bodhisattva, bless me! Please drive these ghosts away. I've been running my business honestly for half my life. I've done nothing wrong..."
He nervously looked around, his heart pounding in his throat. When he turned his head, he came face to face with the smiling face of the big hunchback ghost.
"Are you looking for me?"
The partner turned deathly pale with fear and fell straight backward, fainting on the spot.
Early the next morning, the news that the dating training center was haunted spread like wildfire across Yuncheng. The police were dispatched to seal off this illegal institution, and all its illegal assets were confiscated in accordance with the law.
The police dug deeper and deeper, and over the next few days, they successively raided several institutions that had amassed illegal wealth by deceiving women, causing a huge stir.
As for Tang Xuan, after waking up, he went insane. He walked all night to the police station and voluntarily surrendered, saying that he was willing to spend the rest of his life in prison to atone for the women he had hurt.
The top - notch lawyer hired by Gu Siheng helped Grandma Qu win a brilliant lawsuit, and all the property that Tang Xuan had embezzled was returned to her.
The news ended in a bizarre yet reasonable way, but fortunately, all the endings were good.
No one had expected that the news of "exploiting a childless widow" would be linked to the PUA training center industry chain. A week had passed, but the popularity remained undiminished. Lin Jingru, one of the parties involved, had gone from being blocked to becoming a new favorite in the entertainment industry.
All the media wanted to know the details from her mouth, but Lin Jingru strangely gave up this wave of popularity on her own initiative, only saying that she had received the help of a noble fortune - teller.
For a while, this mysterious fortune - teller had netizens buzzing with discussions. The internet was in an uproar, and countless speculations emerged one after another.
Two days later, Jiang Shang started a live broadcast in Gu Siheng's company.
In recent days, she had added some "derivative peripherals" to her live broadcasts, such as selling paid talismans, safety buckles, and cinnabar bracelets, which not only added fun to the live broadcasts but also fattened her wallet.
As soon as she started the live broadcast, her original fans flocked in. The employees in the office area also got restless, and they all flocked into the live - broadcast room.
"Why aren't you going in yet?" A white - collar worker patted the colleague next to him and urged.
The colleague shrugged helplessly. "It's not my fault. There are so many people watching the live broadcast at the same time, and my internet connection is slow."
"The boss's wife is already so famous. Why does the boss still ask the whole company to support her? Isn't this redundant?" The colleague was very puzzled.
The white - collar worker secretly pointed to the office where Jiang Shang was broadcasting. "The boss vacated a special office for his wife so that she could broadcast live in his company. He's so doting!"
The colleague shook his head sourly. Those disgusting little affections between an unmarried couple.
But it was still worth it for the office workers to slack off.
In the reception room.
The person in charge of Yuncheng's tourism industry kept shaking his head. Then he firmly closed the file and pushed it back in front of Gu Siheng.
"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry. After considering various factors, the artists of your company don't meet the criteria for the city's image spokesperson. There's no need for us to continue discussing and negotiating. Let's call it quits here."
The person in charge's rejection was very official and perfunctory. He said they didn't meet the requirements, but in fact, he disliked the lack of popularity and traffic of the artists and even more disliked Gu Siheng's background.
Even though Gu Siheng had been recalled by the Gu family for a marriage alliance, he was still a discarded pawn whose real power had been completely taken away. Wasn't that the same as having no background at all?
The tourism image spokesperson not only benefited the spokesperson but also allowed the company to undertake tourism projects. Many powerful families and Gu family members were eyeing this lucrative opportunity. In the cut - throat business world, there was no reason for him to give it to a discarded pawn.
A look of disappointment flashed across Gu Siheng's face, but it disappeared in an instant. It seemed that he had gotten used to facing setbacks during the days after being expelled from the Gu family.
He reached out his hand and shook the person in charge's hand. "I hope we'll have the opportunity to cooperate again."
Then he told his assistant to escort the person in charge downstairs, but he didn't get a response.
When he turned around, he saw his assistant tapping on his phone frequently, not knowing what he was doing.
"Boss, wait a minute. I can't get into the boss's wife's live - broadcast room."
Faced with a client with no intention of cooperation and a sure - thing boss's wife, the little assistant indicated that even a fool would know what to choose.
The person in charge was already a bit dissatisfied, and his impression of Gu Siheng got even worse.
Just then, as if the internet speed was helping, the little assistant managed to squeeze into the live - broadcast room.
"Qian represents the northwest, Dui represents the due west..."
Jiang Shang was doing fortune - telling for people as usual. At this moment, she was holding a compass to calculate the recent fortune of the young master of the Song family.
The person in charge was immediately attracted by Jiang Shang's muttering about fortune - telling.
If someone had never seen or didn't believe in it, they would surely think Jiang Shang was being mysterious. But he firmly believed in feng shui and had been deeply troubled recently.
After a while, the compass needle trembled violently in the southwest direction. In front of the thousands of people in the live - broadcast room, Jiang Shang accurately gave the answer.
"When choosing a site for construction, stay away from the western suburbs. There are many evil ghosts there, and the magnetic field is not good. It's best to choose a site near the eastern urban area."
After Song Song finished his fortune - telling, he also bought some safety buckles. Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly thought of the recent hot news and asked Jiang Shang:
"Master Jiang, I wonder what your opinion is on the recent news about 'exploiting a childless widow'?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shang raised her eyebrows.
As soon as these words were spoken, the bullet - screen became excited.
[Shangshang, suddenly there's a person more powerful than you. Don't you feel any sense of crisis?]
[Yeah, Shangshang is the most accurate and popular fortune - teller now. Maybe from her perspective, we can figure out the method of that mysterious fortune - teller!]
Jiang Shang thought for a while and didn't choose to be too clear. She said vaguely:
"If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place. Tang Xuan chose to poison Qu Yan. The longer it takes for a chronic poison to take effect, the harder it is to completely get rid of the poison, so there must be loopholes.
More importantly, justice has long arms. In this whole news, the greatest credit goes to the policemen."
Seeing this, the person in charge was a bit excited because he was also looking for that mysterious fortune - teller.
"She knows so clearly about the loopholes in Tang Xuan's crime. Does she know that mysterious fortune - teller?"
Gu Siheng glanced at the live - broadcast room and said straightforwardly, "That mysterious fortune - teller is my fiancée."
"?! !"
The person in charge's eyes were filled with shock. His expression changed from confusion to admiration, and he excitedly grabbed Gu Siheng's hand.
"Mr. Gu, could you please ask your wife to help me clean my house? There have been some evil things in my house for a long time, and I've found countless masters, but none of them could clean it up completely..."
The person in charge pleaded sincerely. Gu Siheng didn't expect his attitude to do a 180 - degree turn, but he quickly reacted.
The man coughed lightly, waved the contract in his hand, and pretended to hesitate:
"Well, then this..."
The person in charge's eyes lit up. He immediately responded sensibly, "Sign it! We must sign it! In the future, we'll still rely on the protection of Mrs. Gu!"
