Mysterious resurrection, something's wrong with this guy.

Chapter 64 The New Receptionist

"Finally, I can have a proper rest for a while. For the past month or so, I've been dealing with all sorts of strange things every day, and I almost forgot that I'm even human."

Su Qin returned to the Jiangshan Hotel. He had already decided to make it his base of operations and live there permanently, since it was now considered his own property.

Su Qin leaned back on the sofa, savoring the expensive red wine in his glass. He was completely relaxed, his face full of contentment, and he casually dialed a familiar number on his phone.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

"Mom! I got my salary, a full 500,000 yuan. I've never seen so much money in my life. I've transferred it all to your account. Please keep it for me, or I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it."

Su Qin had just transferred 300,000 yuan to his mother, but it wasn't his salary; it was money from the Jiangshan Group's account. He only transferred 500,000 yuan because he didn't want to frighten his parents, and he also couldn't give a reasonable explanation.

When Su's mother heard her son say he had transferred 500,000 yuan, she was stunned for two seconds before reacting and asking with some concern:

"Spiky! Where did you get so much money? Tell Mom the truth! Did you secretly do something illegal?"

You finally got a stable job, so you can't mess around! You absolutely mustn't do anything illegal!

Mom doesn't lack money, she just hopes you'll be safe and sound, find a wife, and have a big, healthy grandson!

Upon hearing the figure of 500,000, Su's mother's first reaction was not happiness, but worry that Su Qin had done something illegal. She had heard Su Qin mention last month that he seemed to have a secure job, but he wasn't some big shot, so how could his first month's salary be so much?

Su Qin was speechless. He had calculated everything but still overlooked something. Five hundred thousand was not a small amount for any profession, but the money had already been transferred, and he had to keep up the pretense.

"Mom, don't worry! How could I be so stupid as to ruin my own job? I absolutely haven't done anything wrong."

This is something I solved for my boss a while ago. The 500,000 yuan is my salary plus bonus, so don't worry! I'm doing fine!

I reckon it won't be long before I get another promotion and raise.

Su Qin wasn't lying; he had indeed solved a major problem for his superior, and more than once. Although the Paranormal Investigation Bureau's salary wasn't high, the rewards weren't small either, though they were all given out as gold items.

Su Qin had to explain at length to dispel his mother's doubts, but a new problem arose.

"Hey, you mentioned that girl named Yue Lian last time, how's she doing lately? Any progress? Don't be so picky, a girl this good is hard to find even with a lantern!"

This is a heavy topic, and almost every unmarried young person will encounter it when chatting with their parents; there is absolutely no way to avoid it.

"Nothing's wrong! Everything's fine! Don't worry! It's still early! When the time comes, all the problems will be solved."

Su Qin didn't want to continue on this topic. It was something he couldn't explain to his family. He had become a ghost tamer, and it would be difficult for him to live a normal life. He could only use lies to appease his mother.

On the other end of the phone, I heard my mother sigh deeply.

"Ouch!"

You're not a child anymore, stop being so indecisive. Your parents can't really help with this kind of thing.

That girl came to our house half a month ago and stayed for two days. She's a good girl, so don't do anything foolish.

"Did you two have a fight? That girl came all the way to our house by herself, but you didn't come back with her. What kind of behavior is that!"

Su Qin was bewildered by his mother's words and didn't know how to explain them.

Why did He Yuelian go to his house? Was it really necessary? This has caused a huge mess. Su Qin regretted even more that he had been so foolish as to mention He Yuelian to his parents.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't have caused so much trouble. Getting married wouldn't be a problem, but it's He Yuelian, that woman is not to be trifled with, she'll really cause big trouble.

"No way, I've just been too busy with work lately. After all, I just got a stable job and it's time for me to prove myself. How could I have time to go home with He Yuelian?"

Mom, don't worry, I know everything! Everything's fine, so don't worry!

Su Qin had to use a lot of persuasion to successfully fool his mother and end the call.

Just as Su Qin relaxed...

Thump~ thump~ thump!

A short knock suddenly sounded at the door, and Su Qin's hair stood on end. He was so frightened that he dropped the wine glass he was holding.

"President Su! President Fang needs to speak with you; he's downstairs."

A clear and melodious young female voice rang out from outside the door. Hearing this voice, Su Qin finally relaxed and realized that he had overreacted.

Su Qin, with a sullen face, got up and opened the door.

"What are you doing? Why are you knocking on the door for no reason? Don't you know that suddenly knocking on the door like this can scare people to death?"

"Couldn't you have just called to let me know?"

Su Qin grumbled at the young and beautiful receptionist in front of him, while silently cursing Luo Wensong in his heart.

This old man Luo is really toxic; anyone who has met him will develop a fear of knocking on doors.

Su Qin's unwarranted scolding left the receptionist bewildered, but she dared not argue back.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I called your room earlier, but no one answered, so I came up here."

The receptionist thought this Mr. Su was really strange. Isn't knocking on the door a very polite thing to do? Why did she find it scary? Why was she so superstitious?

"Alright, alright! Be more careful next time. From now on, don't knock on my door when you come to my room. Either call me or shout from outside the door! If you dare knock again, I'll teach you a lesson."

Su Qin knew that he couldn't really blame anyone else for this. Knocking on the door was a very normal thing. It was just that he had just returned from the Ghost Post Office, and Luo Wensong had left a deep impression on him, causing some lingering effects, though not to the extent that Xiao Yang had.

"What does Fang Shiming want from me?"

Su Qin recalled what the receptionist had just said and began to take it seriously. He had only been back in Dajing City for a short time when Fang Shiming came knocking on his door. It seemed that this guy had quite a long reach.

"I don't know. Mr. Fang is waiting downstairs. Does Ms. Su want to see him?"

The receptionist seemed quite clever; her words clearly indicated her deference to Su Qin.

"Let him come up!"

Since Fang Shiming has already arrived, there's no harm in meeting him. Although this guy has been openly and secretly using Su Qin's name to recruit ghost tamers all over the country since their last meeting, and his ambition is beginning to show, he doesn't pose much of a threat to Su Qin at the moment.

"Okay, Ms. Su, I'll go and bring Mr. Fang up right away!"

The receptionist turned and walked towards the elevator, but before she could even enter, Su Qin's voice came from behind her.

"Wait a minute! What's your name again?"

Su Qin stared intently at the receptionist, sizing her up and down. His gaze made her very uncomfortable, and she tiptoed around.

"President Su, my name is Liu Xiaosu, I am 19 years old, and I just joined the company last week."

Liu Xiaosu dared not look at Su Qin's face, keeping her head down, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles, and a slight blush involuntarily rising to her cheeks.

She looks like an innocent, shy young girl, the kind that normal men would like.

"Starting today, you're no longer working as a hotel receptionist!"

Su Qin's sudden words startled Liu Xiaosu, who stood there in astonishment, staring blankly at Su Qin. Her eyes quickly welled up with tears, as if a fountain had been gushing from them. Su Qin had accidentally flipped a switch.

"President Su! Didn't you just say you wouldn't hold it against me? Why are you still firing me?"

Liu Xiaosu muttered to herself, her eyes brimming with tears and a hint of grievance.

"I didn't say I was going to fire you, I just said I wouldn't let you work as a receptionist, but I didn't say I was going to fire you."

The front desk job is not suitable for you; it's a waste of your talents. Someone like you would be bullied if you were a front desk employee.

The bar counter in my room is just sitting there empty and deserted. You can be my personal secretary from now on. Just let the company know later.

After hearing the reason, Liu Xiaosu, who had been looking aggrieved, blushed and buried her head, not daring to look at Su Qin.

She understood perfectly what Su Qin meant. These big bosses' private secretaries were practically like a harem!

Liu Xiaosu covered her blushing face and hurriedly entered the elevator. She pressed the elevator button, and only after the elevator doors closed did the blush on her face gradually fade and her emotions gradually calm down.

Then she suddenly seemed to remember something important, and quickly took out her phone, dialed a number, and the call was answered after ringing for more than ten seconds.

A cool, clear female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Su, is there something important? Don't call me unless it's something important, so we don't get caught, understand?"

The owner of that cool, clear female voice solemnly reminded Liu Xiaosu, seemingly afraid that others would find out about their relationship.

"Cousin! That CEO Su wants me to be his personal secretary. What should I do next?"

This should be considered an important matter, and Liu Xiaosu couldn't make up her mind, so she could only ask her cousin for advice.

"Is that even a question? Of course I'd say yes! Otherwise, why do you think I'd let you work as the hotel receptionist?"

Be smart, ask fewer questions and say less. Just do what he tells you to do. If you hear anything important, just secretly call and tell me.

You don't need to worry about anything else; you won't lose out by following him.

Liu Xiaosu listened intently to the cold, clear voice on the phone, completely unaware that behind her on the elevator floor, there was a small, dark shadow, seemingly her own.

But given the angle of the elevator's dim lighting, her shadow should be in front of her, not behind her.

This small patch of shadow remained motionless, appearing as an ordinary, inconspicuous shadow, and no one would notice that a person was hiding in it.

The man had pale skin, was somewhat stiff and numb, and wore a single glass-like monocle. He was looking up and staring intently at Liu Xiaosu.

This was Su Qin's ghost servant incarnation.

"As expected! This woman is suspicious!"

She looks somewhat like Li Yao, and the voice coming from the phone also sounds a bit like Li Yao's. This must be an informant she planted next to me.

This Li Yao is good-looking, but her brains are not as outstanding as her appearance.

The hotel I stayed at suddenly had a young and beautiful girl who was better than Li Yao in terms of figure, looks and temperament. She even looked somewhat similar to Li Yao. How could this not arouse suspicion?

At 19 years old, why wouldn't she be in school? Why would she be working as a hotel receptionist?

Even if someone with that kind of looks entered the workforce early due to family hardship, which wealthy and powerful man wouldn't want them? How could they possibly end up working as a hotel receptionist?
