"Xue Zong, I didn't quite catch what you said. I was just passing by to borrow the restroom. You go ahead and do your thing, I need to use the restroom." I pretended to be confused, then turned to head towards the restroom. I didn't know if this would deceive the sharp-eyed Xue Zong, but I didn't want to complicate things further.
"Miss Yuan, stop right there. You're lying. Even if you need to borrow a restroom, there's one on the first floor. Why did you come up to the seventh floor?" Xue Zong quickly ran over and stood in front of me, blocking my path. I needed her help at the moment, so I didn't want to confront her. Instead of pushing her away, I just gave her a cold stare.
"What are you looking at? Cat got your tongue? Oh, I see. No wonder Lawyer Yan said there would be someone from the company to meet me here. It's you. And you knew that the person Lawyer Yan said would come is me, so you deliberately hid. Let me tell you, it's too late to hide. Even if I know it's you who's in a hurry to sign this contract, I'm sorry, I have plenty of time. The company can't just give you a green light because you're Chen's sister. As the sales director, I have the right to assess the true profitability of this project. Hmph!" Xue Zong looked at me with a proud face and coldly snorted.
Sure enough, she found out that I wanted her to sign this contract and started throwing her weight around. What should I do? I'm really anxious. So, I smiled and said to her in a friendly tone, "Xue Zong, actually, I'm signing this contract for Shen Chen, your president. So, I'm just a messenger. Shen Chen is in trouble now and must sign this contract. Once he signs it, I can figure out how to help him next. You love Shen Chen, don't you? You wouldn't just stand by and watch him in trouble, would you?"
"Miss Yuan, are you still trying to deceive me? You are just Chen's younger sister. If Chen is in trouble, why should he rely on you to save him? And you, Chief Shen, why are you still watching the show? Why don't you kick this woman out? If the scene in front of the general manager is quiet, maybe we will consider signing a contract with you." Xue Zong seemed afraid to fight me and turned to Chief Shen for help.
So the mayor's surname is also Shen. It seems that he is indeed connected to the Shen Family. I suspect that these Shen Family people are all unrelated people with the same surname as the Shen Family. Otherwise, why would they be so concerned about the Shen Group?
After listening to Xue Zong's words, I turned to Chief Shen. I think if he is a smart person, he should be able to tell that it was me who brought Shen Group over to sign the contract with him. Even if there was a temporary problem, I believe that since Shen Group headquarters could send someone the first time, they could also send someone the second time to sign. This investment will definitely not fall through. So as long as Chief Shen is not stupid, he won't help Xue Zong drive me away, but should help me instead. If he's even smarter, he will remain neutral, mediating between both sides, so that he doesn't offend anyone and benefits from the situation.
I didn't expect Chief Shen to be a smart person. He immediately laughed and acted as a peacemaker, advising both of us, "Don't be angry, you are all from the same company. What are you doing? Don't ruin the harmony. How about this, our town is willing to accept Shen Group's assessment, we just hope that you two don't argue anymore."
How can this be possible? I'm really in a hurry. But judging from the current situation, Xue Zong definitely won't sign in a short time. And comparing our heights, it seems like forcing it won't work. Well, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just wait for Yan Qing to come and solve it. It's just a matter of half an hour, right? It should have been about five or six minutes now, and Yan Qing should be here in a little over an hour.
So I also snorted and said to Xue Zong, "Xue Zong, sorry, but it seems like your opinion doesn't matter. Wait for another hour, and the chief barrister of Shen Group, Yan Qing, will come to sign the contract in person. If you want to inspect, go ahead and inspect. You're not welcome here. You can leave, hmph!"
Although I said that, I was actually thinking about waiting for her to turn around and then launching a surprise attack, snatching the contract from her. Wouldn't that be okay? Besides, if I fail, isn't there still the elderly foreign couple? I just need to distract her.
Sure enough, I distracted Xue Zong. She turned around with a cold smile, looking furious, and was about to leave. Seizing the opportunity, I pounced on Xue Zong, but her back of the head seemed to have eyes, and she managed to dodge. However, upon closer inspection of her posture, it seemed like she was being pulled away by something. Indeed, upon closer examination, I found a person hiding in the shadow behind Xue Zong, a person without a shadow. Although it was daytime, the hallway faced north and had no sunlight, and the lights were on, making everyone's shadow clear.
The person without a shadow, could it be a ghost? So I quickly said to the elderly foreign couple, "Sir, ma'am, don't just stand there watching the excitement. I've already provided you with the opportunity. It's time for you to show your skills. Can't you see? As long as you snatch this woman's bag, take out the contract and official seal, and hand it to your son, everything will be fine. Shen Group values its reputation, even if they know the signing process is not legitimate, they will continue with the investment. That's the reputation of a big company."
"Oh, right, old man, why are we so stupid? We didn't even think of this. We were just watching the excitement. Really, old man, let's go and rob." The ghostly old man didn't speak, but the old foreigner took the lead and said, "Let's go, let's go rob." Then he was the first to rush forward, intending to directly snatch Xue Zong's bag.
"Wait a minute, dear, didn't you see the ghost over there protecting her? We're both so old, we might not be a match for that ghost. Let's ask this young lady for help," the old man said, looking a bit scared at the female ghost behind Xue Zong.
"Sir, ma'am, I've already helped you this far for the sake of your son. Why aren't you satisfied yet? If not, let's forget it. I won't look for any entrance anymore. I'm leaving," I said, pretending to be angry, and turned to leave. Of course, this was just a bluff to scare them.
However, these two sons who were eager to please their parents were really fooled. They thought I really intended to break up with them, and immediately became afraid. They hurriedly said, "Don't do it, miss. How about we go up and hold back that female ghost while you go grab the bag? Of course, if that female ghost is not too powerful, we can bring another person to help you, what do you think?"
Alright, that's it. However, when I was about to make another move towards Xue Zong, I was stopped by Chief Shen's angry face. "Miss, do you have a mental problem? There are no other people here. You've been talking to the air for a long time. If you're not mentally ill, you're a fraud. Nowadays, fraudsters are so audacious, they dare to come to our town government to deceive. I've seen characters who dare to deceive the government on TV before, but I didn't expect they really exist. Watch me catch you and send you to detention today, you fraudster."
"Yes, Chief Shen, this woman is actually mentally ill. You should have arrested her earlier. Once you catch her, I will immediately sign a contract with you. I believe Chief Shen has also checked my company's information online before meeting me. He knows that I am a genuine director, not a fraud," Xue Zong said triumphantly.
Well, it's not Chief Shen's fault. My performance really does seem a bit crazy, because I forgot that Chief Shen can't see his deceased parents who have become ghosts. Sigh, things are getting more and more chaotic.
When Chief Shen saw Xue Zong and spoke so enthusiastically, he forgot about our previous conversation. I used to think Xue Zong was smart, but it turns out he's actually quite foolish. Seeing this, I quickly planned to avoid him. But what surprised me even more was that when Chief Shen turned his head, I saw him mouth the words "acting" to me.
Could it be that he wants to act with me? He's actually on my side. It doesn't make sense. Even though I'm in this situation, I can still be recognized by a mayor. This mayor is really peculiar.
Ah, forget it. Let's just act. Because I've also figured it out. As long as I let myself be captured, Xue Zong will quickly sign the contract with Chief Shen. Once the contract is signed, my mission will be completed, and the ghostly old man will tell me the entrance to the Lost Village. It's such a simple matter, how can I not cooperate?
So I immediately pretended to be defeated and was restrained by Chief Shen. To make it more realistic, Chief Shen even took off his shoelaces and tied my hands. After making a phone call to report to the police, he smiled and looked at Xue Zong, saying, "Xue Zong, are you satisfied now? Can we sign the contract?"
I have a feeling that I've been manipulated. Could it be that he manipulated both me and Xue Zong? Otherwise, why would he call the police? If I really get taken away by the police, it would be even more of a loss. So I quickly sought help from the elderly foreign couple.
It was only then that I realized the female ghost who just saved Xue Zong was Shen Ru. However, Shen Ru seems to have no advantage as a ghost. She can't even beat an old lady. Oh, wait, that's not right. I saw them fighting, and it seems they can't use Gui Li, just like a human fight. One slaps, the other grabs the hair. After all, Shen Ru is a pampered young lady. How could she be a match for a rural old lady? If it weren't for this place, if they both used Gui Li, it wouldn't be certain who would win.
Here, the ghostly old man didn't show up at all, and we won one-sidedly. At this moment, the ghostly old man saw me looking at him for help, so he came to me and whispered, "Miss, it's okay. Just now, I saw the old man making a phone call to his son. He was just putting on a show and didn't actually get through. You don't need to be afraid."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt relieved. At this point, I am in a weak position and have nothing to threaten them with. Moreover, the contract is about to be signed, so The elderly foreign couple no longer needs to worry about me. Therefore, what he is saying to me now is most likely true, as there is really no need to deceive me anymore.
Unfortunately, Xue Zong won't sign so easily. She's just afraid that I'll harm her. Now that I've been caught, she immediately changed her tune, saying, "If you want to sign a contract, of course you can. But you'll have to wait for our company to assess you slowly. Chief Shen, you know how our company operates. I have no choice, right?"
