Chapter 56 The Underworld Needs Talents Like You

After saying that, Xia Wange thought for a moment, "I don't have much work on my end right now, so why don't you work for me for half a day and spend the other half working at Qiuye to learn more? If you don't want to work for me anymore, the work experience here is quite important."

"Really?!" Cao Niannian's eyes suddenly lit up. She nodded repeatedly, "Sure, Sister Xia, if you don't mind, of course I can! That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Du Yun nudged Lu Qiu, "Your place has become someone else's branch."

Lu Qiu turned his gaze to Du Yun, "Wherever the boss works the longest, that's the headquarters."

"Oh dear." Du Yun pouted. "A boss? Two bosses in one company? Who am I supposed to listen to?"

Upon hearing the two bosses' words, Lu Qiu's fingertips, resting on the armrest of his wheelchair, gently rubbed together. "Didn't you promise Xia Wange you'd help her get business and expand the market? You do the same thing here, so aren't we both your bosses?"

"Hey, what you said actually makes a lot of sense." Du Yun rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I do need to think about how to get her business. I don't think she needs to handle the small orders. I need to get her a big one."

While Du Yun was still pondering how to help Xia Wange quickly open up the market, he heard Xia Wange start making arrangements for Zhou Xingwang again.

"Xingwang," Xia Wange looked at Zhou Xingwang, "would you be interested in working for me before you reincarnate? I sometimes have business from the underworld, and I might be woken up by ghosts or something in the middle of the night. You don't need to sleep. Just help me compile the orders and give them to me during the day. As payment, I'll light an extra stick of calming incense for you every day. How about that?"

"Okay." Zhou Xingwang was also very happy. He had been driven crazy by his mother before he even had a proper job. He never expected that he could work even after he died. He nodded repeatedly, "Leave it to me, I will definitely take care of it for you."

Hearing Zhou Xingwang say this, Du Yun slapped his thigh, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Ah Qiu, what a great business! We've got the master luring a bunch of ghosts here, and we'll set up a production line for them. As long as we light incense for them, they'll work day and night! My god, it's incredibly profitable!"

Lu Qiu sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Cao Niannian's eyes widened.

Zhou Xingwang was so shocked that his soul almost separated from his body.

Xia Wange stepped forward, patted Du Yun on the shoulder, and said, "The Underworld needs talents like you. Should I send you there early to shine?"

"Uh, never mind..."

"Wait!" Xia Wange suddenly turned around and looked into the distance over the river. At the end of her vision was a bridge that had only recently been repaired and was frequently closed for maintenance. "Did you hear a man singing opera? It's quite far away."

"Singing?" Everyone looked in the direction Xia Wange was facing, listened for a long time, and then shook their heads.

"It's gone again now," Xia Wange said, frowning.

Cao Niannian said, "Did you hear the old man taking a walk at night with a radio on his waist? Where I live, there are old men doing their morning exercises early in the morning, and they play operas on those radio-like things on their waists, and the volume is really loud."

"Maybe." Although she said that, Xia Wange's eyes never left her.

The group of people and the ghost waited a while longer, when suddenly they heard cries for help, faintly heard in the rushing river: "Help! Help! Help... help!"

"Someone's yelling for help!" Cao Niannian shouted. "I'm afraid of water, what should I do?"

"I heard that too!" Du Yun chimed in. "Damn it! I can't swim either! Oh crap!"

Xia Wange took out a high-powered night flashlight and shone it on the source of the sound. The group saw a person struggling violently in the water and calling for help. The person was holding a wooden stick, which was wedged between two rocks, thus preventing him from being swept away by the river.

"Holy crap! Someone really drowned!" Du Yun's eyes widened. "No, Sister Xia, is he a person or a ghost? He's a person, right? Huh? Sister Xia, what are you doing?"

"Stretch." Xia Wange took off her shoes and began to loosen up. "None of you can swim. Aren't I the only one who can rescue people here?"

Lu Qiu looked at her, his fingertips suddenly clenching, a hint of pain in his eyes.

He used to love swimming, and if his leg were fine, she wouldn't have had to take the risk.

"Hmm..." Hearing the cries for help in the distance growing fainter, Du Yun hesitated for a moment. "Um, Sister Xia, I know I shouldn't rush you now, but if you don't help soon, they might kick the bucket."

"What do you know?" Xia Wange took off her coat, revealing a black vest underneath. Her arms, which looked slender when she was dressed, were now exposed with thin muscles. "To save a drowning person, you have to wait until they are too weak to do so, otherwise I might be the one who dies."

Driven by the survival instinct, a drowning person will hold their rescuer underwater.

At this moment, Zhou Xingwang also floated back and shook his head at Xia Wange, "It's a person, not a soul, but something's strange."

"Anyone will do." Xia Wange twisted her arm. "If it's a water ghost, we'll just send it to the afterlife."

Just as she was about to dive, Xia Wange felt a tightness in her wrist. She turned around and saw Lu Qiu gripping her wrist.

Lu Qiu looked at her and put the jade cat's eye bracelet on her wrist as well. "Be careful and know your limits."

"rest assured."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Wange saw a huge cloud of purple energy flying towards her, tightly enveloping her body, which made her freeze in place.

I've never fought such a lavish war before. Only now do I realize how miserable my previous frugal lifestyle was.

Lu Qiu's heart stirred slightly, and he released Xia Wange. Only when he heard the sound of splashing water did he come to his senses and realize that she had already swum towards the drowning person.

The process went smoothly, and the person was in good health when they were pulled ashore. However, the only pity was that the purple energy that Lu Qiu had lent to Xia Wange returned to her the moment they reached the shore.

Xia Wange felt a little regretful. Luck recognizes its master, and if it is not used, it will return to its original place. This is why Lu Qiu's luck is so strong that it attacks him, because he really can't use it.

Cao Niannian had already called an ambulance. As Xia Wange knelt down to check on her, a blanket was draped over her. "The driver is here. Keep this on so you don't catch a cold."

"Thank you." Xia Wange pulled the blanket tighter around herself a little awkwardly.

Having been used to working alone, she suddenly found herself having someone to help her with logistics, which took some getting used to.

The person who was rescued was still talking incoherently, repeatedly shouting for help.

Xia Wange carefully examined the other person and noticed the obvious dark blue mark on their forehead. She then turned around, took out a red string from her coat pocket, stretched it to the width of the other person's body, and then suspended it in the air, passing it over the other person's head and toes. Finally, she stopped at the center of the other person's forehead, where there was a noticeable pause each time she moved back and forth.

"His soul was devoured, and then it was returned to him."

Du Yun was taken aback. "Huh? What?"

"To put it simply," Xia Wange said, putting on her shoes, "he just saw a ghost."

Lu Qiu & Du Yun: "..."

Actually, it doesn't have to be that simple.
