Chapter 41: True Immortal Has Position, Los Angeles Governance Merit Seal

~7 min read 1,255 words

Seeing Chen Yaozu somewhat moved, Principal Victoria Wood spoke again, adding more weight: "You'll teach the Chinese Kungfu class yourself.

Actually, we both know that hiring you as a teacher isn't about valuing your teaching ability, but about valuing your response capability when mysterious side incidents occur.

So, five days a week, six hours of work per day, the rest of the time you can arrange as you wish.

If you want to go deliver takeout, you can go deliver takeout.

If you want to go help people solve cases similar to ghosts, you can also go do that.

Even if you have no classes that day, you can request leave, and I can approve it."

Chen Yaozu was moved; the old lady's attitude was indeed very good, with such generous terms, refusing would be disrespectful to this treatment.

Who knew the old lady wasn't finished: "Also, regarding your family situation.

Ms. Olivia Hill, your husband was sentenced to five years imprisonment for misspeaking.

It even implicated you, getting you blacklisted; finding work during this time hasn't been easy, right? Their punishment in this regard is still very severe, even wanting to use your family's experience to warn the world, letting people know what can be said and what cannot be said.

However, in the public education system, these people's infiltration isn't that serious yet.

So...

Our school is still short a Library Manager, and I think you can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Olivia, amid gradually fading hope, suddenly encountered a feeling of enormous surprise, like a roller coaster...

No, not just a roller coaster, simply like a drop tower, and then a roller coaster again!

Because just as Ms. Wood said, the reason she couldn't find work all this time, she felt an invisible hand obstructing her.

Otherwise, with her work history and alma mater, it would be impossible not to find even a decent job.

Fortunately, she encountered Chen Yaozu, and only then managed to hold on.

Now, Chen Yaozu's side might have a situation, and she heard good news, and it was huge good news! She even doubted she had misheard: "Ms. Wood, is what you said true?"

Her delighted look drew a smiling reassurance from the old lady:

"Yes, that's right!

Portwater High School intends to give you a job opportunity, Library Manager."

"However, the salary might not be very high.

Pre-tax annual salary would be around 38,000 US dollars; although not high, it can at least help you get through these two years of being blacklisted.

Do you think that's acceptable?"

Olivia, having received confirmation, finally shed tears of joy.

Just now she was still feeling despair!

You have to know, if it were Chen Yaozu in her place, he absolutely couldn't refuse the terms Ms. Wood offered.

He would definitely agree to stay on as a teacher.

By then, her family's help to Chen Yaozu would already be optional; a public high school teacher's job is much stronger than this risky fake marriage.

Now this worry is finally gone; after giving Chen Yaozu a teacher's job, Ms. Wood gave her a Librarian job.

She's also a person with a stable job now! At this moment she finally couldn't hold back, nearly weeping with joy, but fortunately she still knew that her chance to get the job depended on Chen Yaozu's decision.

Finally, under Audrey's and her eager gazes, Chen Yaozu finally nodded: "Alright! I'm very happy to become a PE Teacher at Portwater High School.

Three Principals, then I will invite you to watch the process of how this Ghost Mirror is handled for a while."

Does America have glutinous rice? Of course, Chinese Supermarkets have it, and in Los Angeles with a total population of 4.5 million, over 500,000 are Chinese.

That accounts for 1/9; among every nine people, one is an Eastern person.

And in Los Angeles, there are basically three places where Chinese gather: one is the Chinese East District, one is the Chinese West District, and another is Orange County.

Wanting to find a Chinese Supermarket in these three places is simply too easy; finding glutinous rice in a Chinese Supermarket is just a matter of asking a clerk.

So, the over-sixty Ms. Wood even personally used a high-speed blender to help grind all that glutinous rice into powder, then watched Chen Yaozu cover the entire surface of that mirror with the glutinous rice flour.

And seized the opportunity to ask various questions.

"Chen, can this glutinous rice flour really deal with the ghost inside the mirror?"

"Chen, if glutinous rice has yang qi, why not put this mirror under the sunlight to bask?"

"Chen, alright, the mirror can reflect light, and this is actually a reason the ghost can stay alive?"

The place to handle this mirror was at Chen Yaozu's newly allocated residence... these words 'newly allocated residence' feel a bit Eastern in flavor!

Or rather, the flavor of the Khrushchev Buildings allocated back in the day!

Just like when the Hawaii wildfires happened, a certain Texas governor said: Disaster relief is a socialist country's business, nothing to do with capitalist countries; the disaster victims should self-rescue, don't rely on the government.

Allocated residence is pretty much the same meaning! The four words 'allocated residence' were only heard of in socialist countries, but that was also the older generation's people and matters...

Actually, when that ghost mirror was placed in the glutinous rice flour, even ordinary people without Yin Yang Eyes could vaguely see black qi floating out from that mirror a little, but in a blink it was gone.

Chen Yaozu carefully covered the mirror surface with glutinous rice flour, then used cloth to wrap up this mirror and put it away.

At the moment the mirror was put away, he finally received a prompt.

【Subdued ghost object, saved countless students from difficulty, merit is immense, obtained fifty-seven Yin Virtue.】

That's it?

Chen Yaozu was somewhat surprised; this shouldn't be right! That's it?

But in fact the talisman's information was only that much; he subdued this ghost, this ghost could have harmed many students, so the Yin Virtue obtained was only fifty-seven.

Nothing else!

After Ms. Wood and the two Vice Principals finished watching how he handled that mirror, they finally returned to the contract matter.

In terms of personnel management, it was that male Vice Principal who handled it; he took out a contract and had Chen Yaozu sign.

Once he signed, from now until the contract is terminated, he, Chen Yaozu, would be a PE Teacher at Portwater Public High School.

There was nothing to hesitate about; Chen Yaozu glanced at the contract and saw nothing else unusual, so he signed his name.

But unexpectedly, the moment he signed his name, he received the talisman's information again.

And it was a piece of good news that was quite earth-shattering for him! 【True Man Has Position, Subordinates Below, Can Hold Merit Seal, Named Los Angeles Zhi Zhong Gongyin】

This information is very simple: he, Chen Yaozu, possessed the Master Position the moment he signed the contract.

A Master has disciples; with disciples one can hold the Great Seal. He is now in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles has no one holding the Seal.

Therefore he can hold the Los Angeles Zhi Zhong Gongyin.

What Zhang Celestial Master left to Dragon Tiger Mountain was merely a single Yangping Treatise Seal.

An author asked me to help recommend a book; everyone can take a look, the synopsis seems pretty good (Chapter End)
