Chapter 30: Resolving the Evil
"Luo Yin is your boss, right?" Qi Fei asked.
"Hehe, otherwise? I heard that people from above have come to ask questions. I don't know how they rounded it off. The family members have made trouble several times. Otherwise, just by Feng Yi, a country shrew from Sanwu Town, can she climb to this position? I think she climbed into that person's bed first!" Lao Qian was also angry and spoke viciously.
The female secretary looked left and right nervously, fearing that someone would pass the words out.
And what Qi Fei cared about was the words "Sanwu Town."
He couldn't help but ask: "Feng Yi is from Sanwu Town?"
"Heh, yes. I heard she is the youngest sister in the family, arrogant and domineering, and has no knowledge. I don't know when she followed old Luo. Isn't this brought all the way to our Nancheng Investment? It made our place a mess." Lao Qian said with anger.
The female secretary glanced at Lao Qian several times nervously, as if saying don't talk about this matter.
But Lao Qian was already in a state of not caring.
At this moment, that sweet floral scent drifted over. Qi Fei was too familiar with this smell now. He should have known long ago that this person was haunting him.
Sure enough, Zhong Kui had appeared in Qi Fei's sight. This time, she didn't wear an exaggerated mink coat, but instead was dressed in Western style—bow tie, shirt, wool coat, and didn't even wear high heels. It was another style, as if to blend in with the workplace atmosphere here.
The moment Zhong Kui saw him, she deliberately put on a surprised look: "Why are you here too?"
Qi Fei said unhappily: "Didn't you ask me to come? If I knew it was such a coincidence, wouldn't it be better for me to make an appointment with you to come together?"
"I didn't come to help you solve the case," Zhong Kui said arrogantly, then looked at Lao Qian and the female secretary on the side arrogantly, "Where is your Vice President Feng?"
"Are you Ms. Zhong? Vice President Feng is having a temporary meeting. Please wait a moment," the female secretary said respectfully.
Zhong Kui glanced at her, didn't say anything, and just walked forward on her own.
Although it was the same arrogance, compared with Feng Yi, Qi Fei even felt that Zhong Kui's attitude was not bad, at least she had people in her eyes.
Not long after, the sharp scolding sound rang in the corridor again: "You don't even know how to tell me when someone comes?!"
"I think you, you are having a meeting..."
"Is having a meeting more important than seeing a guest, huh?"
Qi Fei listened from afar, very helpless. Obviously, Feng Yi also said that the meeting was important just now. This secretary was miserable enough. Whatever she did was wrong.
Lao Qian stood beside Qi Fei and gave him a wink: "See, they all came out of a training class. If Niu Yinzhu hadn't gone missing, she would have been the same to the people below."
However, what Qi Fei cared about more at this time was what kind of relationship Feng Yi and Zhong Kui had.
He waited stubbornly until Zhong Kui came out from Feng Yi's place.
When Zhong Kui saw him, she smiled: "Do you want to see me so much?"
"I just want to know why it's such a coincidence that we met in the same place again," Qi Fei said with hidden meaning.
Zhong Kui was very comfortable: "Our destiny is a natural pair. It's really fate!"
Knowing that she was teasing him, Qi Fei's ears were still red. This uncontrollable emotion was really damn it.
"Cut, stop using beauty traps to confuse the audience," Qi Fei said pretentiously, but his voice was already trembling with guilt.
Zhong Kui saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but laugh evilly: "Do you still want to drink together?"
"Can't we talk properly? Do we have to drink?"
"If you want to get information from me, don't you have to pay something? I didn't even charge you money."
"Okay, I give up, you have the final say."
Zhong Kui smiled with satisfaction: "I booked a seat at a small tavern on Qingjiang Lu. But your clothes don't match mine. Change into something more formal."
Qi Fei frowned when he heard this: "If you didn't know I was here, why book a seat?"
"I'm a Great Immortal. I can calculate it with a pinch of my fingers," Zhong Kui brought out her universal answer.
Qi Fei was very helpless and had no choice but to go to the tavern with her.
"You know my alcohol tolerance, just a little bit," Qi Fei took the initiative to admit defeat. "Can we change to another way of communication?"
Zhong Kui listened, laughed evilly, brushed her hair across the small wine table, and asked with a low and shallow voice: "Then tell me how we should communicate?" As she said this, those ethereal big eyes stared at him.
Qi Fei drank a sip of cocktail awkwardly and changed the topic: "Seriously, Feng Yi is from Sanwu Town. Did you know it early, so you reminded me to come to Niu Yinzhu's company to investigate?"
"Hmm? Have you suspected Feng Yi?"
"Heh, she is not the only suspect. So far, everyone I asked has the motive to make Niu Yinzhu disappear. Yu Meiren, the supervisor of the Human Resources Department, is at odds with Feng Yi and deliberately revealed that Niu Yinzhu's project is related to Feng Yi. She hates Niu Yinzhu for flattering Feng Yi. Lao Qian is an old qualification in the project department, jealous that Niu Yinzhu occupied the supervisor position at a young age. Of course, there is that Li Jian. He looks harmless, but he is a Ph. D. from the Medical University. That blood was processed, which had to make me suspicious. As for Feng Yi, needless to say, she treated Niu Yinzhu as her own black glove. Killing to silence is not impossible. Okay, I said my information, what about you?"
"Me? Of course, I'm here to do my old business—fortune-telling, exorcism. Is it following you?"
"Fortune-telling?"
"Feng's family is my big client. Her mother found me as soon as the snow stopped in Sanwu Town. The end of the year is coming, and she is making offerings to the Great Immortal to keep safe. I told her that her family's fierce little sister has a hurdle recently and needs to be careful. Feng's mother was anxious, so she spent money to ask me to come over to help her resolve the evil."
"Heh, it turns out to be an old acquaintance. No wonder she was so polite, even not having a meeting and coming to find you." Qi Fei thought, and then turned his mind: "Does she mind people in the company saying she is superstitious?"
Zhong Kui raised an eyebrow: "Does she look like someone who cares about this? In her cognition, only people stronger than her will be in her eyes. Some people need to establish their confidence by belittling others' sense of superiority. Feng Yi is a typical one."
"Heh, I learned it today," Qi Fei thought, still very unhappy. "However, she is just like that. She doesn't even have basic respect for her subordinates. What era is it, and she makes herself look like an Empress." The words he held in his stomach at Nancheng Investment were finally poured out at this time, and then he said to Zhong Kui, "How did you resolve the evil for her in her office just now?"
"A consecrated lucky bag. Her mother bought it from me for ten thousand yuan and asked me to send it over personally. I charged an extra forty thousand," Zhong Kui said shamelessly. "Of course, she told me about the turning point after I gave her a hint last time. It seems she is very satisfied with the status quo."
"What turning point?" Qi Fei asked. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
