The Ascension Plan of the Ancestral Star of the Shuttles

Chapter 177
"Hey, Ayu, I'm shopping here in Causeway Bay, do you want to come over?"

Ma Xiaoling was leaning against the railing by the sea-facing road in the East District Corridor of Causeway Bay. Her waist and her 42-inch long legs formed an attractive and perfect curve.

The voice of an octopus sounded from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Not today, I have an appointment with my colleagues to have dinner and talk about things, or you come over too, let's go together?"

Ma Xiaoling said helplessly, "I don't know your colleague, so forget it! I'll go to the Waiting bar and sit for a while."

Octopus: "Alright then! I'll meet you at the Waiting bar after dinner, bye."

"OK Bye Bye."

Ma Xiaoling hung up the phone, stretched out boredly, and went to her Beetle.

Now Wang Zhenzhen, together with Kim Jong-jung, Kuang Tianyou, and Jin Weilai, learned from Xiaobai Xiaoqing after get off work every day, and no one went shopping with her.

Octopus had passed the Wuling Xuanyuan Jue to her in private, but she practiced at home all day during the day, and wanted to go shopping and relax after dinner in the afternoon.

When she had no business, she practiced more diligently than anyone else.

24 hours a day, she spends at least [-] hours in cultivation, sleeps only [-] hours, and only [-] hours is her leisure time.

Without this diligence, she would not have been able to beat the talented Mao You back then.

She herself is already a monk in the late stage of Qi training. After practicing the Five Spirits Xuanyuan Jue, her cultivation base has advanced very quickly, and she has faintly touched the threshold of the agile stage.

"bang"

Ma Xiaoling had just sat in the driver's seat, and before she had time to start the ignition, there was a muffled sound, and the car jerked forward suddenly, and was actually rear-ended by someone.

"Is there any mistake?" Ma Xiaoling was very annoyed when she saw that her car would be hit by someone if it was not moving.

She opened the door and got out of the car, and shouted at the car owner who chased her: "What's the matter with you? You can't drive home! You can't see such a big car in front of you."

The owner of the rear-end silver-gray convertible BMW apologized: "I'm sorry, I just came back from abroad and I'm not used to driving on the right."

Seeing that his attitude was so good, Ma Xiaoling didn't want to say anything, but just stood there with a depressed face.

Who would have thought that after the BMW owner said this, he suddenly said with surprise on his face: "Hey, are you Ma Xiaoling?"

Ma Xiaoling looked at him suspiciously and said, "You are?"

"I'm You Zhijie, the monitor of Form Five in the past, do you remember?"

Ma Xiaoling asked in surprise, "Short Jie?"

The memory about You Zhijie quickly came to mind, and Ma Xiaoling suddenly showed a smile that she couldn't help but thought of something.

But she quickly restrained her smile and went forward.

"What a coincidence!" You Zhijie opened the door and got out of the car. When he stood in front of Ma Xiaoling, Ma Xiaoling couldn't help being stunned.

Because she found that the short Jie who stood in front of her five years ago and had to look up at her was now half a head taller than her, but she had to look up slightly to see his eyes.

Seeing the astonishment on Ma Xiaoling's face, You Zhijie seemed to know what she was thinking, and a smug flash of pride flashed in his eyes.

He chuckled a few times, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ma Xiaoling, saying, "I'm sorry! I invited friends to dinner. Here is my business card. Remember to call me for how much your car has been repaired."

Ma Xiaoling took You Zhijie's business card, nodded and said, "I will definitely."

After speaking, he also took out a business card of his own and handed it to You Zhijie, saying, "This is my business card."

You Zhijie took it with a smile, shook it in his hand, and said, "Then let's do this first, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

You Zhijie got back into the car, waved to her again, and then drove away.

Only then did Ma Xiaoling look at the business card in her hand, and said to herself in surprise, "Vice President of ITM Computer Asia Pacific? Isn't that A Yu's immediate boss?"

……

However, after You Zhijie bid farewell to Ma Xiaoling, he drove his car to the southeast for less than one kilometer, and parked his car in the parking lot of a Louis XIII western restaurant.

Entering the restaurant and arriving at the reserved seat, Octopus is already sitting on the seat, with a cup of coffee on the table in front of him.

"Sorry for the delay on the way."

Octopus shrugged, indicating that he didn't mind. After calling the waiter to order a meal, he said, "I already know what happened at the sales center. What's going on?"

You Zhijie said: "The forensic doctor's judgment is sudden cardiac death, but it's very strange. As you know, our company organizes all employees to undergo physical examinations every year."

"The employee who died suddenly was in good health and did not have any diseases. There was no reason for him to die suddenly. I asked his colleagues about his behavior in the past week."

"Oh?" The octopus wondered, "What are the specific abnormalities?"

You Zhijie said: "Although this employee was not very conspicuous before, he was almost half transparent, but he was still solid and willing to work."

"However, since a week ago, his work attitude has suddenly changed drastically. He fishes whenever he has the opportunity, and he no longer pays attention to work. He always hides in a corner with his laptop and surfs the Internet."

"Some people also heard him muttering to the computer often, as if he was chatting with the computer, and he didn't know what the hell was going on."

"Oh, by the way, I heard from his colleagues that he has become more and more annoying during this time, and even people can't help but want to beat him when they see him."

After listening to what You Zhijie said, Zhang Yu said thoughtfully: "It's really strange when you say that. Is there anyone else in the company like this besides him?"

You Zhijie shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of anyone else doing the same, but there is also a situation in the marketing office."

Octopus asked in surprise, "What happened to the marketing office?"

You Zhijie said helplessly: "Don't you usually pay attention to the company's situation?"

Octopus blinked, and said with an innocent face: "Our technology research and development department is not with other departments, so I don't know the situation of other departments."

If he knew, he would definitely investigate secretly, and the problem might have been solved long ago.

Hearing You Zhijie's description, he felt that it was probably caused by resentful spirits.

Because he knows that living people will instinctively reject resentment, and those who are haunted by resentment will naturally be annoying.

You Zhijie explained: "It's like this. The recent work progress of the marketing department is very slow, and they are unwilling to work overtime. There is a problem in the middle node, which almost slows down the efficiency of all departments."

Octopus asked suspiciously, "Why don't they work overtime?"

You Zhijie said with a gloomy face: "The staff in the marketing department all said that the former tenant of the office once had a heart attack and died while he was working."

"When they work overtime, there will always be a man's voice in their ears saying: Get off work! Why do you get off work so hard? Get off work..."

"The employees were all frightened, so no one dared to work overtime."

Octopus said: "So you mean, the marketing office is haunted?"

You Zhijie corrected: "That's not what I meant, but what those employees said. Although they said it with confidence, I always feel a little outrageous, and even came up with such a ridiculous reason to refuse to work overtime."

Octopus's heart moved, his eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "You really don't believe this, there are really ghosts in this world, I think you'd better find an exorcist to take a look."

You Zhijie said in astonishment, "Are you kidding me or are you serious?"

Octopus asked back: "Did you pay attention to this year's selection of Miss Bauhinia?"

You Zhijie said: "I paid attention to it, and said that the program was suspended due to a serious broadcast accident. Does it have anything to do with our company?"

Octopus said solemnly: "The real inside story has been covered up. I was there on the day of the selection meeting, so I know the truth."

You Zhijie became interested and said, "Tell me."

Octopus explained to You Zhijie the ins and outs of the accident in the selection of Miss Yang Bauhinia.

You Zhijie was dumbfounded, as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.

"Finally, Mengmeng's ghost appeared on the scene and identified the owner of Nitto Group, Domoto Jing, as her murderer."

"Mengmeng is my friend. I witnessed the whole incident, so I am very sure that there are really ghosts in this world."

"Not surprisingly, the office of the marketing department must be really haunted. You can't save the money for hiring an exorcist, and you can't save it."

When Octopus said these words, he had already made up his mind to solicit a business for Ma Xiaoling, so she would be very happy.

Although he was usually willing to spend money on Ma Xiaoling, and she was willing to accept the gifts he bought for her, but she would not ask for his money, and would occasionally buy him some gifts in return.

Ma Xiaoling was very principled, after all, they had not confirmed their relationship, and it was okay for friends to exchange gifts, but taking the money he gave was not the case.

After hearing what Octopus said, You Zhijie couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

He naturally knows what kind of person an octopus is, so he knows that an octopus will not lie about these things.

He said solemnly: "Money is not the problem, the problem is that I don't know any exorcist!"

After saying this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "By the way, how did Ruan Mengmeng's ghost be dealt with in the end?"

Octopus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I happen to know a very powerful exorcist."

"Because Mengmeng was worried about her mother, she refused to reincarnate, so the exorcist helped her set up a temporary shelter."

"With a shelter, I won't become a lonely ghost, and send her to reincarnation after a hundred years from her mother."

You Zhijie praised: "It's so powerful."

Octopus nodded and said, "It's really powerful, but because of this, this exorcist is a bit expensive."

You Zhijie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as it can solve the problem, it doesn't matter if it's expensive, so please help me contact that exorcist!"

"But I have a request. When he solves the problem, we must be present. It is best for me to see the ghost with my own eyes."

He said enthusiastically, "I've grown up so much, I haven't seen a ghost yet!"

Octopus laughed and said: "That's why your fortune has always been so good, your yang energy is strong, and your body is also in good health. Do you think hell is a good thing?"

There are only three kinds of people who can see ghosts without encountering ghosts.

One is a person with yin and yang eyes, the other is a person who is weak or dying, and the third is a person whose fortune has declined to the extreme and has a lot of bad luck.

So it must be a good thing for a living person not to have seen a ghost.

……

"Hi, Qiu."

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Octopus walked into the Waiting bar and said hello to Sun Jingqiu, who was carrying a tray and was about to deliver wine to the guests.

Sun Jingqiu shook her head at him with a smile, and said, "Xiaoling is at the bar, go there by yourself!"

Octopus nodded, walked to the bar, sat next to Ma Xiaoling, and said hello to Ma Dingdang beside her.

At this time, Ma Xiaoling was chatting with Ma Dingdang, and Da Mi was mixing drinks at the bar. When she saw the octopus, she also smiled and called "Brother Octopus".

Now Xiaobai and Xiaoqing go to Jiajia Mansion every day to teach Kuang Tianyou to practice, and they will not come back until after ten o'clock in the morning. Naturally, the bar can only be handed over to Sun Jingqiu and Da Mi.

Ma Xiaoling didn't know the details of Ma Dingdang, she didn't even know her surname Ma, she always thought her surname was Ding, she just felt that she and Ma Dingdang got along very well.

They are very similar in terms of hobbies, tastes, and ways of thinking, so Ma Xiaoling introduced Ma Dingdang as a confidant.

Xiao Mi, who had always been hostile to Ma Xiaoling, also changed due to many things and no longer hostile to her.

Now Xiao Mi has lived with Kuang Guohua, as if they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Seeing the octopus coming, there was still a deep smile on her face, so Ma Xiaoling also showed a slight smile, and said, "What's so happy about it?"

Octopus took the wine glass handed over by Da Mi, thanked him, and then smiled at Ma Xiaoling: "Our company is haunted."

Ma Xiaoling was dumbfounded, she didn't get the point of the octopus, is there anything to be happy about the company being haunted?
"With your ability, you can solve it easily. What are you happy about? It's inexplicable."

Octopus laughed and said, "Why should I solve it casually? I'm just a part-time technician, so I have no obligation to help the company solve supernatural events, right?"

"so what?"

Octopus spread his hands and said: "So when I was having dinner with my immediate boss just now, I suggested that he spend money to hire an exorcist to deal with it. He agreed, and it just so happens that I know a very powerful exorcist."

Ma Xiaoling finally came to her senses, lightly punched him on the shoulder, picked up the glass and said happily: "It's interesting to have you, come on, cheers."

The octopus picked up the wine glass and bumped one with her, then drank the wine in the glass.

After putting down the glass, he continued, "But he has one request. He must be present when dealing with the matter, and he must also see the ghost with his own eyes."

Ma Xiaoling said with great interest: "This is a trivial matter, how much does your boss plan to pay?"

Octopus smiled and said: "It depends on how you ask for the price! This guy is a big leader, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region, you can open your mouth like a lion, he won't care about the little money."

"Wait a minute..." Ma Xiaoling looked at the octopus with a strange face and said, "You were eating with You Zhijie just now, weren't you?"

Octopus was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Ma Xiaoling couldn't laugh or cry, took out the business card You Zhijie gave from her bag, put it in front of Octopus, and said, "I just met him before I came to the Waiting bar, this guy is my high school classmate."

Octopus looked at the business card and said in astonishment, "It's such a coincidence."

Ma Xiaoling said: "If it's him, I can't take part in this business, otherwise I'd have the nerve to open my mouth? I'd better let Zhengzhong do it."

Octopus said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want. Anyway, you are the one who collects the money. It's just an earth-bound spirit with no grievances. With Zhongzhong's current strength, it should be easy to solve."

Ma Xiaoling smiled and said, "The most important thing is that with you watching, nothing will go wrong."

Octopus smiled, and then said with great interest: "I didn't expect you and Ajie to be classmates. Tell me about his student days."

Ma Xiaoling asked curiously, "Do you have a good relationship with him?"

Octopus said: "It's a best friend. If I didn't have no interest and quit voluntarily, he wouldn't be the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region."

"What a stinky fart!" Ma Xiaoling teased, and then talked about her school days.

"In my impression, You Zhijie is a genius with a high IQ, and his grades have always been among the best. It's just that he was very short at that time, and his classmates called him Shorty Jie."

Octopus nodded and said, "I've heard him say that. He said he had an agreement with a girl. As long as he grows five inches in five years, that girl will agree to date him."

"So he has been exercising desperately since then. During the time when he almost stopped growing, he grew six inches taller, reaching the current 1.8 meters six."

Ma Xiaoling was stunned when she heard his words, she turned her head, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and took a sip to cover her strange expression.

Octopus said excitedly: "By the way, you are his classmate, do you know who that girl is?"

Ma Xiaoling smiled at him, Octopus could see a hint of embarrassment from her smile.

She covered her forehead and said, "What is this guy doing! I just said that casually at the beginning."

"..."

Octopus looked at her with astonishment, and said after a while, "That girl is you?"

Ma Xiaoling smiled wryly: "That year when we were about to graduate from high school, he suddenly came to me with two movie tickets and wanted me to watch a movie with him."

"At that time, I just said something casually, asking him to come to me after another five years and five inches in height. This was already a very clear rejection, but I didn't expect..."

Octopus put his hands on his forehead and said with a slight headache: "I didn't expect him to take it seriously. This guy, why didn't I realize that he took death so seriously before."

When the two were talking, Ma Dingdang and Da Mi didn't intervene, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard what they said.

Big Mi smiled and said: "This is not a confession, it can only be said that Xiaoling's charm is too great, and it can make a boy generate such a great motivation."

Octopus looked at Ma Xiaoling and said helplessly, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Ma Xiaoling scratched her hair and said in a tangled manner, "Don't ask me, I have a headache."

Octopus smiled wryly, and said, "If you like it, you just like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. What's the trouble? No matter how close you are, I won't give in when it comes to love."

Ma Dingdang raised his glass to Octopus when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Well said, when dealing with love, the most taboo thing is to be sloppy, you must stand firm, I offer you a toast."

Octopus happily raised his glass to touch her, and drank the wine in the glass.

Big Mi also smiled and said, "Brother Octopus, I support you."

"Thank you."
