Chapter 12: Call from a Female Ghost

The Zheng-surnamed man gave a fierce one‑eyed glare at Lin Feng, who was mocking him.

Then, covering his stinging eye, he hurriedly ran into the restroom to wash his eye.

"What should we do?!!"

Wen Keke was at a loss.

When she caught sight of Zheng Guanqing leaving, his face was full of anger.

The task assigned by Manager Xue was to have her accompany Zheng Guanqing for a stroll nearby.

By the way, discuss the matter of renewing the lease.

Now… things seem to have gone awry.

"Miss Wen, we really are fated to meet! We can run into each other here."

Lin Feng sat down beside Wen Keke, smiling as he spoke.

Wen Keke hugged her arms, her body slightly shrinking, trying to stay as close to the wall as possible.

This was almost an unconscious reaction of hers.

She has a cleanliness obsession, and Zhu Li knows this.

I don't know whether Zhu Li did it intentionally or not, but it caused Wen Keke to misunderstand Lin Feng.

Without exaggeration, Lin Feng is practically equated with a pervert in Wen Keke's mind.

Lin Feng, upon seeing Wen Keke's expression and movement, suddenly understood.

He has an excellent memory and has read books on psychology and microexpressions.

Although he only knows a little about these two subjects, he can still make a rough guess.

Thinking of what happened the day before, Lin Feng gave an embarrassed smile: "Sorry! The other day I went to the restroom and accidentally got your clothes into the bathtub, and then… then I helped you wash them…"

Lin Feng described what happened.

Some things, although embarrassing to say, if not spoken about, the misunderstanding will only grow bigger.

Lin Feng, having lived two lives, naturally understands this principle.

Wen Keke's long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and a look of sudden realization appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She actually has a good impression of Lin Feng, and deep down she does not hope he is a man with strange habits.

So that's how it is!

The misunderstanding cleared up, and Wen Keke finally relaxed.

"Sorry, Mr. Lin, I… I misunderstood you…"

Wen Keke is a pure and honest good girl; she almost blurted out the words 'fly a plane'.

Fortunately she timely controlled her vocal cords, while silently cursing Zhu Li as a bad woman in her heart.

"It's fine, it's fine! It's all my fault. By the way, you're not in advertising design, are you? How did you end up doing PR work?"

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Wen Keke furrowed her brows and recounted to Lin Feng what had happened earlier at the company.

It turned out that the young man surnamed Zheng was named Zheng Guanqing.

The advertising company where Wen Keke works had its leased office building expire, and they wanted to renew the lease.

Originally, the boss and the Zheng family had already reached an agreement.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Guanqing suddenly came over and said he wanted to raise the rent.

When Zheng Guanqing saw the beautiful young Wen Keke, he harbored ulterior motives and made an unreasonable demand.

Wen Keke's direct superior, namely the Creative Department manager Xue Mei, forced Wen Keke to receive Zheng Guanqing.

Xue Mei told Wen Keke, "Just go through the motions and get past Young Master Zheng."

Wen Keke didn't understand these social niceties; she remembered the words 'get by' and thus brought Zheng Guanqing to the 22nd floor to eat boxed meals.

After she finished speaking, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh again.

Wen Keke gave Lin Feng a white look and said, "I'm in big trouble now, and you're still laughing at me."

"Cough cough!"

Lin Feng hurriedly stopped laughing and said solemnly, "If the company asks you to do more things unrelated to your main job in the future, you can directly refuse. Don't you know there are too many shady tricks in there?"

Wen Keke lowered her head and said softly, "I'm not stupid; I know all about these. It's just… it's just that jobs are so hard to find these days…"

Lin Feng was about to comfort Wen Keke a few words when Zheng Guanqing came out of the restroom.

His left eyeball was bloodshot, red as a rabbit's eye.

The anger on his face hadn't faded, and because his left eye was slightly swollen and red, it made him look somewhat fierce.

When he just finished washing his eyes, he thought it over and believed Wen Keke had deliberately embarrassed him. gΟиЪ. ōΓＧ

Zheng Guanqing walked to the table, seeing Wen Keke about to burst out in scolding.

But a sharp gaze was projected over.

Zheng Guanqing saw Lin Feng's gaze and couldn't help but startle.

Lin Feng stood up, smiling, and said, "Mr. Zheng, Keke said that the company won't be renting that piece of land on the 18th floor."

"Uh!"

"Ah!"

Zheng Guanqing and Wen Keke both stared in shock at the same time.

Lin Feng smiled again, took Wen Keke's hand, and left the 22nd floor.

Upon entering the elevator, when the doors closed, Wen Keke finally came to her senses.

She stomped her feet, covered her flushed cheeks, and muttered, "It's over, over; I'm definitely going to be fired."

"What squid stir-fry! The Zheng-surnamed person doesn't want to rent; I'll just rent it to your company, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Wen Keke looked at Lin Feng with a surprised expression.

Just how many properties does Lin Feng actually have!?

Twenty-something apartments aside, there are also office buildings!?

Lin Feng said lightly: "The whole 12th floor is mine. It just so happens that it'll be vacant at the end of next month—perfect for finding a client to renew the lease, hehe!"

Wen Keke suddenly realized: "So you messed things up on purpose to grab a big bargain!"

Lin Feng shook his head: "Don't say that—you messed things up first; I'm just helping you, got it?"

The elevator descended to the 18th floor.

The advertising company where Wen Keke works, along with three other companies, shares this floor.

The leased area is about 1,000 square meters, with roughly a hundred employees……

Wen Keke gave a brief introduction of the company's situation.

Then she led Lin Feng to the door of the manager's office.

Wen Keke knocked on the door.

From inside came a middle-aged woman's voice: "Please come in!"

Lin Feng pushed the door open and entered with Wen Keke.

"Who is that handsome guy?"

"Yeah! He's really good-looking!"

"Young, and full of charisma!"

……

The women in the office began whispering among themselves.

Zhu Li had already seen Lin Feng.

She was just on the job, being watched by her superior, so it wasn't appropriate to go up and greet Lin Feng.

Hearing the low murmurs of her coworkers, Zhu Li felt somewhat pleased.

Only she knew Lin Feng's background.

A billionaire worth over a hundred million, young and handsome, and still single!

With so many seductive "fox spirits" in the company, she certainly wouldn't reveal Lin Feng's background.

Moments later, Zhu Li saw the office door open.

Lin Feng and Wen Keke walked out.

Behind them, Manager Xue wore a sneering expression.

Wen Keke kept her head down, her eyes red, looking aggrieved.

Lin Feng's face, however, bore a faint smile.

Zhu Li immediately stepped forward, gave Lin Feng a sideways glance, then grabbed Wen Keke's arm, frowned, and asked: "Wen Keke, what's wrong?"

Manager Xue curled the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong? You got fired, huh!"

Here's what happened……

As Lin Feng and Wen Keke went upstairs, Zheng Guanqing called Manager Xue.

Then Manager Xue went into the General Manager's office and spoke ill of Wen Keke at length.

After that, Lin Feng and Wen Keke entered the office; the middle-aged woman surnamed Qiao had a cold attitude and gave them no chance to speak.

General Manager Qiao scolded Wen Keke soundly, then told her to go to finance to settle her accounts and leave.

"Fired!? How could this happen?"

Zhu Li exclaimed in surprise, then rushed into the office.

Next, a noisy commotion came from inside the office.

Lin Feng also felt surprised.

He had originally formed a bad impression of Zhu Li.

He hadn't expected this woman to be quite loyal.

Next, Zhu Li was also fired (lit. "fried squid").

……

Half an hour later.

Zhu Li and Wen Keke walked out carrying two cardboard boxes.

At the elevator entrance, Lin Feng leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, looking relaxed.

Zhu Li gave Lin Feng another sideways glance, full of charm.

Wen Keke pursed her lips, looking quite cute.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "Whether a company has potential depends on its boss. Obviously, your menopausal boss can only take the company this far; working at such a company offers no prospects."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Xue strutted over in high heels, her expression haughty, and sneered: "Talk big without fear of biting your tongue! Don't rely on your looks, thinking everyone will give you face wherever you go."

"It would be better to spend the energy and time you use chasing girls on reading a few more books to broaden your horizons."

Lin Feng sized up the round‑waisted Manager Xue, raised a hand to cover his nose, and said: "Auntie, you have dark circles, a pale complexion, and look tired… I suggest you see a sub‑specialist. Also, spray some perfume on yourself—you've started to smell."

Manager Xue was taken aback.

Upon seeing Lin Feng's look of disdain, she flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

All the symptoms Lin Feng mentioned are present in her!

You can actually tell that!?

That itch, which she's been treating for ages without success, hearing Lin Feng say that, she even wants him to take her pulse.

It's a pity that saying those things just now offended Lin Feng terribly.

"You actually know medicine!?"

Zhu Li looked at Lin Feng with a face full of surprise.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I'm not really proficient; I just happen to have read a few medical books. By the way, you have to pay rent each month—can't owe me rent. Let me find you a job!"

"Huh?"

Wen Keke widened her eyes and stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "What's the name of that company on the 36th floor again?"

"Da Qi International Media Co., Ltd., Yanjing Branch," Wen Keke replied.

They had just fired their General Manager Qiao, and it used to be that company that hired them.

Lin Feng nodded, "Right! That's the company. I'm quite familiar with the manager of its branch... You should work at that company. It has real prospects."

"I interviewed there last year, but they didn't take me," Wen Keke lowered her head.

Zhu Li frowned and said, "Me too."

Lin Feng smiled faintly, "Don't worry! If you don't give me face, I'll raise their rent—36th floor will be mine too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.

Lin Feng ignored Manager Xue and entered the elevator with Wen Keke and Zhu Li.

Zhu Li promptly pressed the button marked 36.

After the doors closed, Wen Keke, looking embarrassed, said, "Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry to trouble you again."

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Don't read too much into it; I just don't want to change tenants. As a landlord, I want you to work well and earn more, so when I raise the rent later you won't be able to refuse, right?"

Zhu Li and Wen Keke exchanged a glance.

Both of their eyes were filled with strong anticipation.

People strive upward, water flows downward.

Who would stay in a small company with no prospects when they could work at a big firm?

Not only higher salary, but also the chance to realize one's own worth!

Zhu Li was about to thank him when Lin Feng's phone rang.

"Hello~"

Lin Feng answered.

A young woman's voice came through the line.

The voice sounded a bit cold and gentle, "Mr. Lin? I'd like to rent your house at xxx... a haunted residence."

Lin Feng suddenly felt a chill rise from his feet, and every hair on his body stood up.

The woman who called him seemed like... a female ghost!

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu abruptly sat up from the bed. Please,

He gulped fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confusion, incomprehension, a flood of emotions rose in his mind.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu instinctively surveyed his surroundings, only to feel more bewildered.

A single dormitory?

Even if he were rescued, he should be in a ward right now.

And his own body... why is there not a single wound?

With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept the room quickly, finally resting on a mirror by the bedside.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, looking very handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him! (Read the latest chapter content without ads for free)

His former self was a charismatic, handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

Now, no matter how he looks at it, this appearance is that of a high‑school student...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Never tell him the surgery was a great success...

Body and face have changed; it's no longer a matter of surgery or not, but of cultivation art.

He has completely become another person!

Could it be... he has transmigrated?

Besides the mirror placed at the bedside with obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly left him speechless.

Essential Beast‑Breeding Manual for Novice Keepers

Post‑natal Care for Pet Beasts

Guide to Evaluating Cross‑Species Beast‑Ear Maidens

Shi Yu:???

The first two titles seem normal; what's up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze hardened, he reached out, but his arm stiffened instantly.

Just as he tried to open the third book to see what it was, his brain jolted with a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged.
