If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed Vice President Xiao.
Lu Xin thought that he was a principled person, but because of Vice President Xiao's enthusiasm for decorating the house, he temporarily gave in. As a result, he couldn't decorate the house, so he couldn't shirk it, so he came to the banquet...
What do you think you are doing with these rich people...
Everyone is of different classes and has no common language. If they say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, they will make people laugh.
Coming with this kind of worry, the reality turned out to be just as Lu Xin expected.
In addition to Vice President Xiao, there were five or six people who came, all said to be his friends, and they looked very familiar. The oldest was in his forties, and the youngest looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and looked like a kid who had just graduated from high school.
These people are all dressed in smart clothes and drive very nice cars. They are just human beings...
...It's too formal.
Among this group of people, Lu Xin only knew one Gao Yan, and they just nodded to each other and sat down.
Then what Lu Xin wanted to do was to learn more and watch more. See what others do and then do it yourself to avoid making a fool of yourself.
Unexpectedly, this group of people seemed to be more nervous than me. After I sat down, I didn't speak, and no one around me dared to speak. I sat in my position and quietly observed their movements, and they all lowered their heads in awe...
... how to play this?
... You are all so honest, then who should I learn from?
Vice President Xiao also clearly felt the depressing atmosphere, and hurriedly started to host the topic, helping Lu Xin introduce these friends, the son of a certain family, the heir of a certain group, etc. Every time he mentioned one, Lu Xin shook their hands or nodded to them.
These people also hurriedly stood up to shake hands, nodded, and looked at Lu Xin furtively, with a little curiosity mixed with awe.
The atmosphere was as soft as mud, a little too lively.
Vice President Xiao had no choice. Seeing that the dishes were almost ready and there were still few people chatting, he had to look at his friends, cleared his throat and said, "Little Lu Brother's identity is kept secret. I am a very strict person. So many people asked me about it, but I only told you seven or eight. I finally asked him out this time. Do you know what to do?"
A group of people looked at each other, and finally someone had the courage to ask a question.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that you are a..."
A person who seemed to be the most honest and serious person asked in a low voice, "The official ghost hunter?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xin raised his head and glanced at him, and the other person's body was obviously trembling.
"Where is the master of ghost hunting?"
Lu Xin replied with a kind smile, "There are no ghosts in this world, don't you know?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand..."
This group of people nodded repeatedly, looking like I am an expert, and said, "There are no ghosts, it's just... what about pollution, right?"
Lu Xin has no objection to this issue.
Special Purity Department has regulations that all special pollution matters need to be kept secret to avoid causing panic among the public. However, when the other party already knows about it, there is no rule that says that the other party must be arrested to remove the pollution or beaten until he dares not speak again.
In addition, Qinggang's level of confidentiality regarding special pollution matters has been decreasing.
Xiao Yuan is a typical example. After experiencing Special Pollution Event, not only was the relevant memory not erased, even though he spread it among friends, no relevant personnel came to the door. It can be seen that this should be within the permission of Qinggang.
"This is indeed true..."
After hearing this, this group of people all had a look of fear on their faces. "No wonder the threshold for going to Main City is getting higher and higher..."
"Only Main City is guarded by professionals like this..."
"..."
A group of people looked at each other, as if they were sure something big was going on.
Some of the expressions were frightened, some were cautious, and a few even showed excited expressions.
At this moment, the youngest friend on the table, who seemed to be named Meng, suddenly stretched his head and whispered, "Brother Lu, let me tell you, in fact, a strange thing happened in our school recently. It must be this type of pollution..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin suddenly became wary and looked up at the seventeen or eighteen year old boy.
As a professional who deals with special pollution, I am quite sensitive to this kind of thing.
"There is a very beautiful girl in our school who likes to wear white skirts and ponytails. She has a very good figure..."
The boy spoke seriously, and his eyes seemed to shine when he described the girl's appearance.
Lu Xin frowned. "There is no need to describe so much, it is mainly about telling the story."
"Oh."
The young man agreed and said, "She has many suitors in school, including me. Look at me, I'm so handsome, and I know how to cheat my father's money. Isn't he a popular figure in school? But in the end, she didn't like me, nor did she like the best eldest brother in the school. She didn't even like the son of Director, the best student in our class. She only wants to study!"
"Tell me, is this contaminated?"
"..."
"?"
Lu Xin was silent for a while and looked at Vice President Xiao: "Isn't it considered puppy love when high school students fall in love nowadays?"
"Guoguo, you're a loser. Tell your sister later and see if she can't beat you to death..."
Vice President Xiao was also very embarrassed. He stood up angrily and wished he could hit him twice.
"I have graduated from high school..."
The young man was scared and unconvinced, and was so scolded by Vice President Xiao that he did not dare to say a word.
However, his opening opened the conversation for those next to him.
Someone in his forties immediately took over the conversation and said:
"Guoguo is still young and doesn't understand what pollution means and what it means to not be polluted..."
"But I do have something important here that I would like Mr. Lu to help analyze."
"Not long ago, I bought a villa in the west of the city. In the middle of the night, I always heard a woman crying in the room..."
"..."
Lu Xin frowned slightly after hearing this, a little serious.
Someone else grabbed the conversation and said hurriedly, "I also have a strange thing. My construction site is located near a cemetery..."
"I'm here, I'm here. This is the most important thing for me. Please help me, Master Lu. I offended a fortune teller before. He said he would cast a spell on me to break my thirty-year fortune. As a result, I really lost several projects during this period. I can't stand it any longer..."
"And me and me, Master Lu I have nightmares every night about being beaten by ghosts..."
"Master Lu, I often have back pain recently, I can't sleep at night, and the beauty in bed is not as good as before..."
"Master Lu, can you read your palm for me?"
"..."
"What the hell is this..."
Lu Xin All the interest he had just raised was completely lost.
Only then did he know why Vice President Xiao was so eager to treat him to a meal, and he had already gathered so many problem people.
Do they really feel that they have encountered special pollution and want to solve it themselves?
But these things sound unreliable...
Especially the one who asked me to read my palm, can you respect your professionalism a little bit?
After all, he is now the leader of a single-soldier team and a sixth-level special talent in Qinggang. All these messy things...
His eyes couldn't help but glance towards Vice President Xiao, already complaining a little.
Vice President Xiao also lowered his head in shame. It was obvious that he had not thought that when they talked about it before, each of them described it more horribly than the other, but now in front of Lu Xin, when he explained the key points, it felt inexplicably unreliable...
"Ding Lingling..."
Just when everyone was talking vigorously, Lu Xin wanted to leave but couldn't find an excuse, the phone suddenly rang.
Lu Xin hurriedly took the opportunity to stand up, pointed to the phone, and then walked out of the store.
After the call was connected, Han Bing's voice came from inside. "Mr. Shanbing, I have already asked for permission on the decoration matter."
"Mr. Su personally nods, and we, Special Purity Department, will be responsible for your decoration issues."
"..."
"Mr. Su?"
Lu Xin was slightly surprised. He was just decorating a house by himself, so he asked some gentlemen in Qinggang for instructions.
"Yes."
Han Bing's voice sounded a little relaxed, but also a little happy. He paused and said with a smile, "In addition, Professor Bai said, since you are our sixth-level special talent in Qinggang, most of the decoration costs of this house will be borne by Qinggang."
"We'll reimburse you ninety percent."
"In other words, labor is free, and you only need to pay 10% of the cost."
"..."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Lu Xin After listening to it, my mood instantly became very good.
At first, he planned to use his own money to cover it, but he didn't expect to be able to claim so much.
Ninety percent, rounded up, it's all inclusive.
"Yes, our Qinggang Special Purity Department has always been very generous in terms of employee benefits."
Han Bing smiled happily and said, "I have already calculated it for you. Judging from the list you gave me, if you exclude the cost of labor and transportation from various places and only calculate 10% of the cost, then you only need to come up with..."
After a slight pause, a number was reported, "Three seven hundred and eighty-two thousand four thousand six hundred and fifty-one..."
"The fraction can be wiped off. Let's consider it 37.82 million."
"..."
"Oh oh..."
Lu Xin agreed subconsciously, but suddenly felt something was wrong, and his voice subconsciously increased a lot. "How much did you say?"
Ten minutes later, when Lu Xin walked back, he still felt like he was stepping on cotton.
Untrue.
It's all so unreal.
I just want to decorate a house, why do I feel like I want to buy the whole world?
Could it be that Qinggang is blackmailing itself?
This idea was quickly given up. He believed in Han Bing and the people in Qinggang Special Purity Department.
No matter what, it is impossible for them to worry about their money.
So, the problem is with Mom?
Why did she choose such expensive materials?
It's not that expensive to seal up the house with gold, right?
Thinking about what Han Bing had told him about the discounted renovation cost, and then thinking about the savings in his bank, the mission rewards that had not yet arrived, and the red envelopes that had just been collected in his drawer and were not yet warmed up, he felt a little desperate.
Tired, really tired...
Women, why are you so good at spending money?
I really don't want to pretend anymore...
But the key is that I can't contact Mom now, and I have personally promised her that I will decorate as she said.
I felt extremely depressed, and there seemed to be some black particles faintly trembling in my eyes...
... But soon, it returned to its original state, and I felt that I couldn't be angry about this matter.
But, I really feel tired...
"Little Lu Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Around the table, Vice President Xiao and his gang of friends looked nervously at Lu Xin.
They all heard Lu Xin's suddenly raised voice when he was answering the phone outside just now, and they could see that he seemed to be a little distracted at this time. His pale face and confused eyes all showed that he seemed to be in the midst of a powerful blow...
"This..."
After hearing Vice President Xiao's words, Lu Xin calmed down slightly, glanced at this group of people, and suddenly his attitude became better.
"Just now, you all seemed to have said that you encountered some strange things, right?"
He leaned forward, crossed his fingers together, and said slowly, "For President Xiao's sake, I can help you take a look."
A group of people were all startled, and surprise soon appeared on their brows.
"But..."
Lu Xin's tone was slightly serious, which made the point clear. "If you take on private work, I will also have to collect money..."
I feel like I should say something, but I don't know what to say. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance!
