I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 2: The Past of Central Building

The only sound in the monitoring room was the bubbling of the hot pot soup base.

After a while, Chen Qingyuan seemed to have just found his voice cords and said, "In terms of work experience, you are still my seniors. I am not a man-eating beast. The company just asked me to walk around and understand the situation. If there are outstanding performances, there may be a chance to get a promotion."

As soon as he said this, the security guards on the scene immediately broke out in sweat and complained in their hearts: "Bullshit promotion, it's better to just fire anyone you don't like, aren't all these rich people like this!"

Uncle Han wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was close to retirement age, and if he was fired, everything would be over!

Another person who is under great pressure is Zhang Jinqiang, who has just arrived a few days ago. He has a low level of education and can’t do any work with even a little bit of technical skills. He is also unwilling to work in his father-in-law’s bra factory. His wife is pregnant and he is under great pressure in life. After several failed interviews, he finally got this security job, barely able to keep a trace of dignity that “he is still useful”…

Uncle Han quickly broke the awkward situation and said, "It's fate that Manager Chen can come. Why don't you sit down and eat some food first."

The security guard next to him, who had no flesh on his cheeks, also laughed and agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, if you boil the dog meat three times, even gods can't stand still. The meat I make is absolutely fresh and tender!"

Chen Qingyuan sat down, and Uncle Han immediately poured him a drink and introduced everyone.

There are five security guards, including the security captain Han Shu, Ah Qing who calls himself Mr. Hong Kong, the fat boy Ah Zheng, the young man Xiao Ding and the newcomer Zhang Jinqiang...

After chatting with Chen Qingyuan for a few sentences, everyone found that he was not difficult to get along with, and the atmosphere in the monitoring room gradually became lively.

Chen Qingyuan only eats vegetables and not dog meat.

Although his memory of the drama is quite old, he still remembers a security guard who choked to death while eating dog meat, and his body was sent to the hospital and he reappeared...

He gently touched the copper coin hanging on his chest and felt a slight warmth.

When he decided to come, he made two sets of plans, one if the mage Yue Hua helped, and one if he didn't.

The mage still needs time to investigate, but Chen Qingyuan will not waste time. He fixed his eyes on the protagonist Zhang Jinqiang and said, "The Central Building has been completed for 30 years. Although the mall has not been rented out, the offices upstairs have never been vacant. We need to patrol every night. Mr. Zhang...is there anything wrong with your home?"

Zhang Jinqiang was stunned for a moment. This was the first time that his superior cared about his family situation.

The long-term pressure of life and the bitterness of being rejected in interviews suddenly came to his mind. He held his knees tightly with both hands, restrained himself from letting his eyes turn red, and said: "Thank you for your concern, manager. My wife is at home and she is more than eight months pregnant."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyuan put his hand on Zhang Jinqiang's shoulder and said, "It's hard for men to cry easily. Life can't always go as planned. You work hard and are positive. This spirit is so rare!"

Zhang Jinqiang was a little confused. Was this manager, whom he met for the first time, a little too enthusiastic?
What Chen Qingyuan wanted was Zhang Jinqiang's confused state at the moment.

He took out his wallet from his pocket, took out ten bills and stuffed them into Zhang Jinqiang's hand, saying seriously: "August is considered a full-term pregnancy. It's the time when nutrition is needed. Give it to your wife and child, and try to give birth to a big fat baby!"

Ah this...

Not only Zhang Jinqiang, but the other four security guards were also confused.

In their opinion, anyone with a little power in Hong Kong is arrogant and self-centered. Who would care about little people like them?
Chen Qingyuan overturned their long-held perceptions.

His "care" made Zhang Jinqiang so excited that he was speechless and couldn't stand or sit.

Without waiting for Zhang Jinqiang to recover, Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, as a man I naturally understand how difficult it is for you. If you want to thank me, why not cook a few dishes yourself for me to try."

The security guards present were all infected by Chen Qingyuan's "love".

Uncle Han struck while the iron was hot and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Jinqiang, you should get off work early today. Is it okay for Manager Chen to come to your house for dinner?" Zhang Jinqiang came to his senses and nodded quickly, "No problem. Manager Chen, just tell me if you have any dietary restrictions!" At this moment, the inferiority complex that had shrouded his heart in the past was swept away. Perhaps this Manager Chen is a new turning point in his life!

Chen Qingyuan was about to speak.

The door of the monitoring room suddenly clanged, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.

Ah Qing, who was sitting opposite, suddenly scratched his neck with both hands, looking a little painful.

"What's wrong with you? Manager Chen is here, don't joke around!"

Uncle Han noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly.

Ah Qing is usually nonchalant and likes to joke around, but the occasion is different today. If he annoys Manager Chen, he will be in trouble.

Fatty was the first to react and shouted, "Oh no! A bone is stuck in his throat!"

He stepped forward to help Ah Qing get the bones out!

Unexpectedly, Ah Qing seemed to have lost his mind, and his strength became much greater. He suddenly pushed the fat boy's body of more than 200 pounds away, making an unclear whimpering sound, and rushed around, even overturning the square table, and the hot pot fell to the ground with soup flowing everywhere.

Uncle Han felt overwhelmed. How could such a thing happen suddenly?

Xiao Ding, Fatty and Zhang Jinqiang rushed forward but they were unable to suppress Ah Qing alone.

Chen Qingyuan looked around, grabbed a pillow that the security guards used for naps, rushed over, and knocked Ah Qing down with his body! Then he pressed the pillow on his abdomen and punched him hard!

Only he knew that Ah Qing was possessed by the evil spirit of the building, and that being timid and fearful would only lead to death.

boom!
boom!
Chen Qingyuan's fists kept hitting Ah Qing's abdomen. With a "wow" sound, Ah Qing spat out a mouthful of blood foam and something fell to the ground. It was a six-centimeter-long bone.

Ah Qing's eyes regained clarity, and they were filled with fear. Who would swallow such a big bone by mistake? But he had just swallowed it down like a demon, knowing that there was a bone in his throat. If it weren't for Manager Chen's help, he would have died...

"Manager Chen, you are my savior!"

His throat was scratched by a bone and it was very painful for him to speak, but he had to say words of gratitude!

Chen Qingyuan picked up the dog bones on the ground and threw them into the trash can, saying, "Stop talking. Um... Xiao Ding, take Ah Qing to the hospital to check his throat."

Xiao Ding took Ah Qing away.

The atmosphere in the monitoring room, which had finally become lively, became quiet again.

A faint chill surrounded the room, as if an invisible poisonous snake was selecting its target.

Before the finale of the original drama, the ghost child at the bottom of the Central Building was always invisible and had never appeared, whether it was killing the security guard or the wizard. When it finally appeared, it said this: Fortunately, Zhang Jinqiang's blood dripped on its bones to make it gather its body and come out...

The temperature in the monitoring room was getting lower and lower.
