    "I said, are you really going?" Ji Duan pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Xie Jin who was walking side by side with him, and muttered in a low voice, "Is it really that short of money?"

    Xie Jin smiled lightly and didn't say anything. The phone call just now surprised even him, but it was a good thing, wasn't it?

    Two hours ago, after they discovered that Ji Duan could be seen by ordinary people through a medium such as a mirror image, Company M called shortly after, changing their previous arrogant and domineering attitude, this time it became very sincere.

    The person in charge of the other party expressed his apology for the negligence this afternoon, and invited Xie Jin to come to the company again to discuss the signing of the contract.

    As soon as Xie Jin heard that there was still a turning point in the matter, he immediately agreed, saying that he would set off and ask the company to wait for a while, which made Ji Duan quite dissatisfied with this.

    When I was at the headquarters of M Company in the afternoon, although I didn't know the reason, Xie Jin's state was not right at first sight. Now the company's attitude has changed sharply. Make money on your body.

    It's really hypocritical and disgusting.

    However, Xie Jin didn't say anything. As a bystander, Ji Duan was naturally not qualified to dissuade him. He followed behind Xie Jin a little bit aggrieved, grinding his sharp canine teeth to creak.

    "Mr. Xie, welcome."

    Entering Company M this time, Xie Jin was not ignored any more. As soon as he stepped into the gate, there was a man in a suit and tie waiting there, with a fake smile all over his face.

    "Hello..." Xie Jin pulled his mask subconsciously, his eyes dodged as if he was still not used to looking at other people.

    Ji Duan glanced at him, and silently stepped forward to block Xie Jin, blocking the unfriendly sight of the man in the suit.

    "Come with me, the manager is waiting for you in the office." The man in the suit didn't realize that there was an invisible "person" standing in front of him, and he led Xie Jin to the elevator.

    Taking the elevator to the floor where the manager is, Xie Jin followed behind the man in the suit timidly, while Ji Duan followed him closely with his mouth pursed, without making any comments.

    The general manager who took a fancy to Xie Jin was surnamed Chen, a woman in her forties. When she saw the man in the suit bring Xie Jin over, she immediately grinned and greeted Xie Jin with those flaming red lips.

    "You're Xie Jin, I'm sorry. We'll hold the executive meeting in the afternoon. I'm a little neglectful." The smiling face of Mr. Chen is the truest face of a businessman who sees a cash cow.

    "You, hello, I'm Xie Jin." Xie Jin looked around in a panic, and finally chose to put it on Ji Duan who was standing in front of him, so that he would not be at a loss as before.

    Ji Duan took a deep look at him, and reluctantly acquiesced to the fact that he was used as a shield by a man.

    Then it was time for Mr. Chen to explain unilaterally. It was not so much a commentary as an announcement of the Overlord Clause.

    "...The specific location of the spirit visit is preferably a well-known and dangerous place, and these companies will also arrange it for you."

    This is completely squeezing Xie Jin, is it easy to bully a man with a soft mouth?

    Ji Duan gave Mr. Chen a cold look, and he put his hands on Xie Jin's shoulders, "Don't agree to her, these are the overlord's terms, if you agree to it, the road ahead will probably be very difficult, and you will be at the mercy of the company. "

    He lowered his body slightly and brought his face closer, only to find that Xie Jin's lips were trembling imperceptibly, those bloodless lips were turned white by his biting, but the man didn't seem to let go at all.

    "..." Ji Duan frowned. He didn't know that Xie Jin couldn't even make a sound in front of unfamiliar people. Ji Duan grabbed Xie Jin's cold hand and whispered in his ear, "Uncle Xie, let me Let me possess you, let me speak for you?"

    Seeing Xie Jin's trembling hand stagnate, he knew the man's choice.

    The woman who was talking vigorously hadn't noticed that the aura of the man sitting in front of her had changed, and she was still talking about the overly thick contract:

    "If the above conditions are all right, just sign here." She pushed the contract towards Xie Jin, showing a strategic smile.

    It's just that she didn't notice that the man in front of her was already possessed by a ghost.

    "These places you provided are notoriously vicious, why? You want me to make another hot search because of the accident?"

    Xie Jin...or it would be better to call it Ji Duan now, he sneered at the woman in front of him, "Let me go to those places alone, I don't want to expose your intentions."

    "You, what do you mean?" Mr. Chen's face froze, and the bright smile instantly froze on his face, "If you are not satisfied, just say it..."

    "Didn't I just say it straight?" Ji Duan changed Xie Jin's previous sitting posture, and an unprecedented arrogant expression appeared on his always cautious face.

    "These conditions you gave are too oppressive for me." Ji Duan leaned on his chin with his elbow, "At any rate, I am also a popular anchor, and I have been famous in the past. If you seize this popularity and develop, Future prospects are not an issue."

    He looked at the woman's expression. Although the other party was a little dissatisfied with his current tone, she seemed to have listened to this sentence and was thinking about the value of Xie Jin's card.

    "Then what do you want?"

    This is a concession, Ji Duan grinned, "First of all, I have to have the right to choose the location of the spirit exploration. Of course, I will report to the company in advance after I decide, and the company should have the obligation to provide I will make the necessary announcements."

    Ji Duan narrowed his eyes slightly. He caught a glimpse of Mr. Chen's expression unchanged, which shows that M Company can satisfy all these requirements, but before that, it only chose some famous supernatural places in the country. The purpose of using Xie Jin's life to make money is not too much. Say.

    "There is also the income after signing the contract. According to what you said just now, there is no fixed basic salary of 50% or 50%. It is not appropriate here, is it?"

    He felt that Xie Jin's body heard the protest here, and seemed to feel that his request was a bit too much.

    Don't mess with Uncle Xie, isn't this helping you negotiate terms? Ji Duan clenched his right fist calmly and meditated in his heart.

    President Chen pursed her red lips, and she looked at the man in front of her who seemed to have changed suddenly, quite dissatisfied: "If you are a popular anchor, the basic salary plus rewards will not be left behind by the company. , but you are now a..."

    "Black and red are also red, even black fans will have their own enthusiasm." Ji Duan asked with a smile, "Nowadays there are so many online celebrities pretending to be ugly on the Internet, don't they all make a lot of money?"

    He looked suspiciously at Mr. Chen, and said in a non-negotiable tone, "I don't insist on 37 points, 55 points plus basic basic salary, this is my requirement for salary."

    "...Let's think about it."

    In the men's room of company M, Xie Jin leaned over and poured a handful of cold water on his face, his hands were still trembling involuntarily, while Ji Duan was leaning against the wall as if nothing had happened.

    "Why, look at me with such eyes." Ji Duan raised his eyebrows at Xie Jin in the mirror, "You're welcome."

    "How, how can you negotiate terms with someone in such a simple and rude way..." Xie Jin turned his face that was still dripping, "What if they really kicked us out?"

    When Ji Duan heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched. From the moment he first met Xie Jin, he discovered that Xie Jin had an obvious problem. He had no confidence in anyone, and he didn't even dare to refute the unequal overlord's treaty.

    It's not that he helped him sign the contract, but he blamed himself in turn.

    "Uncle Xie, you have to understand that this Chen Yan is just a businessman. What a businessman values ​​most is the benefits he can get from a person. She only cares about what she can get from you. You don't need to consider that she will miss you at all." What kind of person is it?"

    Ji Duan was helpless and Xie Jin didn't understand, "I just showed her your business value analysis, you also have to learn to use the company to achieve self-expansion."

    He didn't know why, but he always felt inexplicably a little angry, especially when he saw Xie Jin's wimpy appearance, the unknown fire would burn even more vigorously.

    Someone knocked on the outer door of the toilet. It was the man in the suit who brought them in just now. He said softly, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Chen invites you to come over and check the contract."

    The corner of Ji Duan's mouth curled up into a smile for an instant. The unknown fire just now came and went quickly. He immediately stood up straight and pushed Xie Jin away: "What are you doing in a daze, go."

    Xie Jin was still in a daze, but was pushed from behind by the young man, he staggered and took a step forward, and heard Ji Duan say from behind, "End soon, Uncle Xie, I'm about to starve to death."

    After signing the contract, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we returned home. Dinner was instant noodles prepared by Xie Jin with a small amount of money.

    Ji Duan has already checked this small rental house all over, and cooked noodles with the small electric cooker Xie Jin bought from the ordering software.

    Smelling the familiar smell of seasoning, he inadvertently felt that there was a little familiar but strange feeling in his blank brain.

    Unexpectedly, the first meal after becoming a ghost turned out to be an unhealthy food like instant noodles.

    "Uncle Xie, come to eat." Ji Duan clumsily poured the noodles from the small pot into the bowl. The capacity of the small pot is limited, and it can only cook enough for one person at a time. He brought the bowl of noodles in front of Xie Jin who was in a daze in front of the computer, and reminded again, "It's time to eat."

    "Ah? Okay." Xie Jin didn't realize the young man was calling himself until he smelled the food, "You eat first, I'm not too hungry."

    Ji Duan didn't move, he stared at the other person's slightly sunken cheeks due to being too thin, and forcefully stuffed the chopsticks into Xie Jin's hands.

    "I just had a meal on the plane in the morning, are you hungry?" His tone was a little stiff, and from the sluggish eyes, he felt that the man was on his mind again.

    Ji Duan's eyes darkened, he grabbed Xie Jin's computer chair, and forcibly dragged him to the side of the bed to look at him.

    "Uncle Xie, look at me." Ji Duan stood up and moved forward, imprisoning Xie Jin, who was belatedly trying to escape, on the computer chair, "You know what the purpose of my following you is?"

    Xie Jin turned his face away awkwardly, and nodded slowly: "...to help you heal your wounds."

    "Not exactly." Ji Duan let go of his confinement, leaned back and sat on the bed, "I want to retrieve my lost memories, and the few memories tell me that I lived a fairly prosperous life before I was alive. People, at least that's what those memory fragments told me, if you can fulfill my wish, I will give you a generous reward as a thank you."

    Seeing Xie Jin looking at him inexplicably, Ji Duan chuckled and said his thoughts, "Your career as a spirit explorer is about to officially restart, and you are acting alone again, what should you do if you encounter the previous situation again?" ?”

    "Since I can be seen by ordinary people through mirror reactions, and I won't leave you in a short time, why don't we work together?"

    Ji Duan coughed lightly, breaking the previous seriousness, and he said seriously, "You help me retrieve my memory, and I will assist you in detecting spirits and expelling ghosts, so as to achieve a win-win and double-benefit, what do you think?"

    Ji Duan: Start to draw the pancake balabala)
