Chapter 373
"Ghosts."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei's tone was hesitant: "In the world, are there really ghosts?"
She didn't seem to have seen any; ghosts seemed to be evil spirits caused by the remnants of gods, right?
"Of course there are, otherwise, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor couldn't exist."
Hu Tao shook her head and said: "How should I put it? Ordinary ghosts don't have the ability to harm ordinary people. The work of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is to 'maintain the boundary between life and death', which includes correcting ordinary people's perception of death and ghosts. Simply put, it's to let people who can't see the 'boundary' stay as far away from it as possible."
"So for ordinary people, the best state is not knowing about ghosts, or believing they don't exist at all."
"I see."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei scratched her head: "Then in that case, Director Hu Tao, you shouldn't use strange jokes to scare others even more."
"This Director isn't as bad as you say."
Hearing Collei's words, Hu Tao looked heartbroken: "I'm just letting them understand quickly that these are all just jokes."
"Have you ever thought that it's this kind of thinking that makes people feel strange?"
Lin Mo's tone was faint, making Hu Tao giggle and scratch her head: "This Director isn't that good either."
Lin Mo: "..."
"I wasn't praising you."
Lin Mo looked at Hu Tao expressionlessly. Hu Tao's train of thought was truly, truly magical.
"Oh, let's go visit potential clients now."
Hu Tao said quickly: "How about I treat you to a big meal tonight?"
"A big meal?"
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously looked at Lin Mo.
"Sure."
Lin Mo nodded gently and said: "It's fine to take a walk since I'm free."
"Good, good, good."
Seeing this, Hu Tao excitedly pulled Lin Mo and Collei away from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Under Hu Tao's lead, Lin Mo and Collei arrived at the street where Three Cups 'N' A Bowl was located.
Here, there was an antique building that looked quite imposing.
The exterior of the building used a classic ancient style design, with the roof being a typical hip-and-gable roof, covered with dark gray tiles.
The eaves were upturned, and the corners were decorated with exquisite wood carvings, showcasing superb craftsmanship. Under the eaves, strings of red lanterns hung, swaying gently in the breeze, emitting a warm and soft light, making the whole building appear more vivid and cheerful.
The front of the building was a huge black wooden door, with complex patterns carved on it, showcasing the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen. On both sides of the door, there was a pair of stone lions guarding it, appearing solemn and mysterious. The steps at the entrance were carved from a single piece of stone, and the worn traces witnessed countless footsteps coming and going.
Standing at the entrance of this building, one could see a slightly plump little fatty.
"Hehe, Xiao Wu."
Looking at this little fatty, Hu Tao giggled and said quickly: "I am Hu Tao, Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I want to ask how your health has been lately, is there any place that is uncomfortable? Physical discomfort is a serious matter, a sign of serious illness. When people are healthy, it is hard to imagine how fragile life is, so such signs are often not taken seriously."
Xiao Wu: "..."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Xiao Wu looked at Hu Tao speechlessly: "My health is very good, my life is happy, everything is very good. You don't need to come to me to say this as someone from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Compared to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I think it's more reliable for a pharmacist from Bubu Pharmacy to come to me."
"Hi, bad luck."
Saying this, Xiao Wu became more and more angry, turned around and entered the house, and closed the big door.
Collei: "..."
Lin Mo: "..."
Seeing this scene, Lin Mo and Collei didn't feel surprised at all.
If it were them, they would have already picked up a broom and chased Hu Tao.
"Sigh."
Hu Tao looked sad: "Why are you angry? I was just sincerely telling him about the importance of health."
"Forget it, this one doesn't work, let's go to the next client."
Saying this, Hu Tao turned and left, heading straight for the next destination.
Seeing this, Collei and Lin Mo looked at each other and chose to follow Hu Tao.
Soon, the two followed Hu Tao to the second location.
This second location was a bookstore.
At the entrance of the bookstore was a refined woman wearing glasses.
Seeing Hu Tao arrive, she nodded gently: "Director Hu Tao, is there something you're looking for me for?"
As the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao, she also knew her.
"Hehe, hello."
Seeing that this person knew her, Hu Tao's eyes lit up slightly: "Hello, are you interested in learning about the business of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
"Uh..."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, the refined woman wearing glasses was silent for a moment, then shook her head gently: "I don't have such a need. Don't you think the way Director Hu Tao comes out to solicit customers is too rough?"
"Rough?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao scratched her head in confusion: "Is it? Isn't the popular saying in business now 'presenting the service to every guest'?"
"That may be true."
The refined woman wearing glasses nodded gently: "But the nature of some services is too special to be included in what you said."
"I see."
Hearing this, Hu Tao scratched her head, feeling a bit distressed.
So did she do something wrong?
But it didn't feel right either.
Immediately, Hu Tao left, pulling Collei and Lin Mo straight to the third person.
After finding the third person, they returned disappointed again.
"Strange, Hu Tao, what is your purpose?"
Watching Hu Tao watch the third person leave, Collei furrowed her brows slightly: "Are you hiding something from us? It feels like you have a purpose in finding these three people."
Along the way, Collei felt very strange.
"Eh? You actually discovered it?"
Hearing Collei's words, Hu Tao looked at Collei in shock: "How did you see it? You are too smart."
Collei: "..."
Seeing the shocked Hu Tao, Collei suddenly wanted to hit someone.
"Hehe."
Seeing Collei's expression, Hu Tao giggled and said: "Remember what Old Meng told me this afternoon, about the person I need to find?"
"Old Meng said?"
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei was stunned and pondered: "Is it that person called Brother Wolf?"
"Exactly."
Hu Tao nodded readily and said: "Actually, the Brother Wolf that Old Meng is looking for is just a ghost wandering in the world. The three people I just met were the targets I originally suspected Brother Wolf would follow. But after meeting them, I didn't feel the presence of any ghost spirits."
"That's why I didn't continue to pester them after talking for a while."
"But for now, the matter has come to an end."
"Let's go, this Director will take you to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to eat."
"Okay."
Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei nodded happily.
She had been running around with Hu Tao all day and was a bit hungry.
"Lin Mo, are you really not planning to be a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
On the way Hu Tao was taking Lin Mo and Collei to Wanmin Restaurant to eat, Hu Tao squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Mo: "Being a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has many, many benefits. What Ningguang can give is just Mora, but the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is different. I, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, will support you."
Having finally gotten the opportunity to be alone with Lin Mo, Hu Tao felt that she could still try to pull him in.
What if?
Anyway, if Lin Mo joined the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she would make a huge profit, okay?
"Director Hu Tao will support me?" ===== CHAPTER 374 =====
