Chapter Forty-Four Recruitment

  The fatty got up early the next day and went out to customize a gold frame for his black 'jade', without even eating the breakfast made by Lian Tianqi, you can imagine how anxious he was.

  "Qiu Sheng, do you have something on your mind?" During breakfast, Qiu Sheng was eating with his head down, looking very troubled. Although he usually didn't talk much during meals, Tian Qi could still tell, after all, they had been in contact for a relatively long time.

  "Do you still remember what Fourth Master said? He said I'm not an ordinary person, and might even not be a person of this world." Chou Shen put down his bowl and chopsticks, leaning back in his chair.

  He was guessed by Tian Qi, he had just speculated that Chou Shen might be thinking about this matter, after all, it's about his life. Since the fourth master has already spoken out, he doesn't need to hide it anymore.

  "Zhang Xin also told me that he said you are not a person of this world, but I didn't know at the time whether he was telling the truth or not, so I didn't tell you."

  Chou Shen looked at Tian Qi with some surprise, he didn't expect that Tian Qi had known about this matter all along.

  "I want to go out for a few days." Qiu Shen said after thinking for a while.

  "Go to the orphanage?" Tian Qi knew that Chou Shen wanted to investigate his own life, he was born and raised in an orphanage, so he must find clues from there.

  Chou nodded deeply, and apart from going to the welfare institute, he had nowhere else to go.

  "Shall I go with you?"

  "No need, I have things to attend to here, I'll go myself."

  Tian Qi didn't say anything else, Chou Shen said he would go by himself and he definitely would go by himself. It's not good for him to insist on following, and he indeed had things to attend to. The company was recruiting daily reception staff, and Fatso couldn't handle it alone.

  The fat boy came back in the afternoon with a black 'jade' pendant set in a gold frame hanging from his neck.

  "How's that? Not bad, right?" The fatty handed it over for Tian Qi to see, and Tian Qi naturally followed his lead in praising it.

  "What's the grudge, where did the person go?" Ordinary people have this habit, they like to show off good things to people around them, saying it's for comment, but actually wanting to be praised. If someone doesn't understand human feelings and says what's wrong with this thing, then that person is offended.

  Tian Qi briefly explained the reason for Qiu Shen's departure, and Pang Zi also let out a sigh. Qiu Shen's life was indeed very bitter, having lived in an orphanage since birth, with a longing for parents that ordinary people couldn't understand, not knowing who his own parents were, like a rootless duckweed.

  The two of them chatted for a while longer, Tian Qi urged Pangzi to post recruitment information, the company might have some business, once they receive an order, they need to go out, the sooner they find someone the better.

  Tian Qi mentioned the recruitment conditions to him, first of all, he must have a big heart, because when customers come, they will definitely need to tell them about the things they encountered, which is a real-life ghost story. If someone with a small heart receives customers, they will be scared before they even start. Second, it's best if it's a man, this point was opposed by Fatzi, who said that girls are more suitable for receiving customers. Tian Qi just said "best", of course, he knew what Fatzi was thinking, being suitable for talking to customers is just an excuse, looking at beautiful girls is the main thing.

  The second day after the recruitment information was sent out, there were people coming for an interview early in the morning. Tian Qi and Pang Zi had just finished their breakfast.

  "Here I come!" The fatty wiped the oil from his mouth and went downstairs, just in time to escape washing the dishes.

  The fatty went downstairs, his eyes lit up, and a tall and slender young 'girl' with white skin stood at the door.

  "Hello, I'm here for an interview." The girl said with a slight smile, looking at the fat man before he could even ask a question.

  Fatso's eyes widened in surprise, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously. "Please come in! Tianqi, hurry up and get down here for the interview!"

  This was also within Tianqi's expectations, because of the industry's special nature, he and Pangzi negotiated a wage standard that was not low, and there were bonuses and commissions. If done well, it would be no less than running his own company as a boss, anyway, it would definitely earn more than working in an ordinary unit.

  For this 'girl', Pongzi was very fond of her, and during the interview process with Tianqi, he always spoke well of her. However, Tianqi wouldn't let things slide on this point, and after telling only two terrifying stories, the 'girl's face had lost all its color.

  "This line doesn't suit you, sorry." Tian Qi stopped talking.

  "Tianqi, the story you're telling is too scary, I'm getting frightened just listening to it. How could such a thing possibly happen in real life?" The fatty got anxious and hastily spoke up for the 'girl'.

  "Fear or not fear, you know it in your heart." Tian Qi has experienced many things that Pao Zi has also gone through, and there's more than one thing that's even more terrifying and strange than what he said.

  The girl got up and hastily said goodbye before leaving, not wanting to stay for another minute.

  Tian Qi looked at Bao Zi and waved his hand. This wasn't him being disrespectful, but rather 'Bao Zi' herself had left on her own accord.

  The fat man looked unhappy, but he had no choice. He also knew that this 'girl' was definitely not qualified as a receptionist, and it would be okay to be a secretary.

  This morning, I interviewed five people, but none of them were qualified. Some had a big enough nerve, but their communication skills were not good. Others were very skilled at socializing, but they didn't have enough nerve.

  "Don't be so strict?" Fatso complained during lunch break. It's just finding someone to receive, not asking him to catch ghosts.

  Tian Qi thought about it after hearing what the fat man said, wondering if he had set his standards too high. However, for now, he didn't want to lower them. Since today was just the beginning, he believed that under the temptation of a high salary, suitable people would come.

  In the afternoon, some more people came for an interview, but still no suitable person was found. Meanwhile, two clients came, one of whom was a bit troublesome, while the other's problem was easily solved, and Tianqi simply told him to handle it himself. Although he is not yet a master-level exorcist, he doesn't want to take on small cases like this in the future either.

  The day was about to pass like this, and in the evening, Paozi went to close the door with a gloomy face. At that moment, a person appeared at the door, a young man.

  "I'm here for an interview, am I late? In that case, I'll come back tomorrow." The young man was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing frameless glasses, and looked like a recent university graduate. His face was somewhat dark, and his personality seemed introverted.

  "Uh, I was just about to close the door, come back tomorrow." If it were a beautiful girl, maybe the fatty would let her in for an interview. The little guy in front of him didn't look bad either, unfortunately, he wasn't a girl.

  "Wait a minute, come on in, I'll interview you now." Tian Qi happened to be coming down from upstairs.

  Fatso was speechless and could only let the young man in, "You go ahead with the interview, I'll go upstairs first."

  Tian Qi looked at Bao Zi and smiled, but didn't say anything. He couldn't help much here anyway.

  The young man sat down and Tian Qi let him briefly introduce himself.

  "You said you studied law? Why don't you become a lawyer then?" Although Tian Qi admitted that the salary he offered was not low, it still couldn't compare to being a lawyer, which not only paid more but also had social status.

  Tian Qi said so, and the young man still had something difficult to say, hesitating whether or not to speak.

  "It's nothing, just say what you want to say, I've encountered all sorts of strange things." Tian Qi said this with some exaggeration, but indeed he had also encountered quite a few strange and bizarre things.

  The young man hesitated for a moment before telling a strange encounter he had in college.

  It happened when he was in his second year of university. He liked playing basketball, so before going to sleep at night, he would often go to the basketball court alone to play some hoops. One evening, while he was playing basketball, he noticed a girl wearing a white skirt and with hair that reached her waist, who had a petite build, walking by. The girl then stood not far from the basketball court watching him play.

  At first, the young man didn't pay much attention to her because of his family's education, which did not allow him to have a romantic relationship during university. He himself also didn't have such thoughts. However, for a whole week, the girl would come watch him play basketball every evening, just standing far away and never getting close.

  His feelings had been slowly accumulating in his young heart, and finally one day he plucked up the courage to walk up to her.

  "Now thinking back, many things were not right at that time, but I didn't notice." The young man took a sip of water. Tian Qi remained silent and did not interrupt him.

  When the young man came before the maiden, she was somewhat surprised and said a word that he could see her.

  Later, the two young people's feelings gradually deepened, and they almost met on the basketball court every night. The youth also knew which department the 'girl' was in, but the 'girl' told her not to look for her during the day, saying she had no time during the day.

  However, as time went by, the young man finally decided to look for the "girl" during the day. But what he got was that there was no such person at all!
