Chapter 1141 - Xin Hai, Here I Come 2 in 1 (1/2)

“The reason I needed to recover my body is related to the Jiujiang station, so I have nothing to say to their people, and I do not care about how many cases that they have solved.” Mr. Wang appeared like he had once worked at the Jiujiang police station, but due to various reasons, his relationship with the station was rocky at best. “Like I said, tell him to leave. I am sure they currently have many cases to handle. They should not part with one of their people just to accompany me.”

The university worker looked at the police officer standing next to him helplessly. The rather old police officer walked toward Mr. Wang and said, “Brother Wang, Captain Yan has returned. He is now the leader at the local station.”

“Captain Yan?”

“Twenty years ago, he was the young man who requested for the case to be reopened due to the problems that he had discovered about two weeks before you did. He is now the leader at the Jiujiang station. It is under his brilliant leadership that we have managed to solve so many major cases.” The old officer appeared to recognize Mr. Wang. “Brother Wang, the current local station is no longer the same as it was. The reason I am here today is because of Captain Yan. In fact, if possible, he wishes to see you in person before we depart. After all, you were the only person who lent your support to him back then.”

When Captain Yan’s name was brought up, Mr. Wang was silent.

“I do not have the face to see him.” Closing the notebook in his hands, Mr. Wang handed it over to Zuo Han. “Don’t you suspect that the haunted house is really haunted? Perhaps this notebook will help guide you closer to the discovery of the truth.”

“Sir?”

“I feel well rested already. Today, we will depart to Xin Hai.” It was as if Mr. Wang had turned into a different person. The presence that radiated off him was completely different from before.

“You still have not changed after all this time.” The worker from the university shook his head. “We have already prepared the transportation for you. You can depart at 2 pm. Before that, you’d better rest as much as you can.”

…

After stretching lazily, Chen Ge was woken up by the alarm clock. After a quick freshen up in the bathroom, he hurried to open the door. Ever since he obtained the black phone, his every day had been filled to the brim with meaningful events. Be it morning or night time, almost every hour of his life was occupied by some important event. After doing the make up for his employees, Chen Ge stood inside the dressing room. Watching the employees chatting among themselves, he too felt quite relaxed within that atmosphere. “If only this kind of life could continue forever.”

After he had finished the make up for everyone, Chen Ge called for a simple morning meeting to discuss the future direction of the haunted house with his employees.

“You are all now experienced actors at the haunted house. You have plenty of experience in this field and are more than capable of handling any type of sudden accident, so I am not worried about leaving the haunted house in your care.”

“Boss, how come it sounds like you are going to leave us behind and go for a long trip away all of a sudden?” Xiao Gu was wearing the Doctor Skull Cracker outfit. He pulled off the mask with both hands.

“Director Luo has just bought the biggest haunted house in Xin Hai. In the near future, I will move over there to open our first branch. After the situation at the branch has stabilized, I will return here.”

Opening the branch was the second important mission; the main reason Chen Ge was going there was because he wanted to deal with the cursed hospital. Currently, all the clues pointed toward the cursed hospital. His parents might be found there as well, so he had to go there no matter what.

“Boss, our situation here has just stabilized. Isn’t it a bit too rushed to suddenly open a new branch?” Zhang Jingjiu had experienced the nastiness of society before, so his thoughts were rather more reserved.

“Our base will still be this haunted house in Jiujiang. The branch in Xin Hai can only be called a trial.” Chen Ge looked at his employees. “Now, I will assign all of you some work. After I leave this place, the scenario aboveground will all be handled by Xu Wan. I will also hand her the temporary key for the haunted house to Xu Wan. Xiao Gu if you run into any problems, you should go to Xu Wan or Uncle Xu for help.”

“Okay.”

“The underground scenarios will be handled by Wu Jinpeng.” Chen Ge turned to look at the handsome uncle with the single ponytail.

“What, me‽ No, no, I can’t do it.” Wu Jinpeng quickly waved his hands.

“Do not worry, there are people who will come help you. This here is the list. Later, you shall go to the underground scenarios to communicate with them and see if there is anything you guys can do to ensure the operation can run smoothly.”

The whole room was filled with his trusted confidants. Most of the living employees had survived a life or death situation with Chen Ge before; he would not worry about leaving his life with them. Chen Ge handed a name list to Wu Jinpeng. It had names of several ‘people’ like Doctor Wei and Ol’ Bai on it. After being given the name list, Wu Jinpeng slowly calmed down.

“Now that the people in Jiujiang have been arranged, I will discuss the people who will come to Xin Hai with me.” Chen Ge turned to look at Zhang Jingjiu and Qu Changlin. “Changlin, you have personally worked at that haunted house before. I will give you the task to design the various scenarios and mechanisms for that haunted house. From today onward, you will be the designer of the props used in the scenarios at that haunted house.”

Qu Changlin was especially proficient at building various kinds of haunted house props and mannequins. The man himself was originally Shang Guan Qing Hong’s employee, but he was lured over by Chen Ge to work for him. “Shang Guan Qing Hong did not even attempt to train you to your full potential. But now, I will provide you with a large enough stage so that you can showcase your talent as much as you can.”

Chen Ge had ultimately fulfilled his promise to Qu Changlin. Back when they first met, Qu Changlin was just a bottom feeder who was not given much attention, and now he had been promoted to the main designer at Xin Hai’s haunted house. That was a promotion that skipped several steps.

“Thank you, boss!” This appreciation came directly from Qu Changlin’s heart.

“Qu Changlin will be responsible for the design of the set and props; the rest will be handled by Zhang Jingjiu.” Chen Ge valued Zhang Jingjiu a lot. He had rescued this employee from Li Wan City, and since he started working for Chen Ge, his improvement could be seen with naked eye. He had familiarized himself with the operation at the haunted house in a mere few days and could often provide unexpected help to Chen Ge.

For example, when Chen Ge was fighting Liu Gang online, it was Zhang Jingjiu who led some of the fans to lead Liu Gang slowly into the trap. In terms of business management and interpersonal relationships, Zhang Jingjiu had done better at these compared to the other employees. Now that they were going to a new location, Chen Ge required such a talent. Furthermore, it appeared like Zhang Jingjiu himself came from a wealthy background. His own family business had been in operation in Xin Hai for years already. Combining all these different factors, Chen Ge decided to select Zhang Jingjiu as the branch manager.

“Boss, I am afraid…”

“There is nothing to be afraid of; you are the most suitable candidate.” After saying a few more words, Chen Ge had his employees return to their posts and started the business for a new day. “Later tonight, perhaps I should use the nightmare mission coupon that I won from the Wheel of Misfortune. After completing this daily mission, I can consider moving to Xin Hai.”
