I open an adventure house in the mysterious world of recovery.

Chapter 165 The Future
The supernatural events in Dajing City have completely ended, but Tang Long still stays here, and he still has some finishing touches to do.

The first thing is to talk to Wang Xiaoming about the painter, to remind the headquarters, and to check on Li Jun's situation.

He was the most seriously injured person in the ghost painting operation. Even the will-o'-the-wisp was eaten by Lao Zhou, and he was also cursed by the music box. Tang Long had to help him find a solution.

Secondly, he had to learn ghost makeup from A Hong. As for the makeup box, Tang Long really didn't like it. There were several large jars in the oil paintings at the ghost post office.

Finally, there is a captain plan. As the president of the Ghost Story Association, why can't he help Xiao Yang support the situation and successfully win the captain's position?

Moreover, after the Dajing City incident, Xiao Yang will return to his hometown to face the ghost dream. Tang Long will definitely not dare to touch this incident, but he must know how Xiao Yang solves the ghost dream and come back so that he can make an offer for the exchange. Gouzi.

If the target is temporarily set as Guimeng, the meeting with Shen Lin can be slowed down first, and the headquarters will be in debt as an alternative plan.

In short, Tang Long, who woke up naturally from his sleep, heard Qin Meirou's voice from the satellite phone while having breakfast: "Mr. Tang, are you available soon? Vice Minister and Professor Wang would like to thank you in person. Dajing City’s contribution.”

"There's no need to thank you. Everyone can do what they need. But I do want to meet these two, mainly to collect debts." Tang Long took a sip of milk, "You should have prepared your car downstairs a long time ago. I Come over after you have eaten."

……

Soon, Tang Long came to the headquarters conference room again, but compared to the sad face last time, this time Cao Yanhua was beaming. When he saw Tang Long coming over, he strode forward and held his hand.

"Mr. Tang, it is really thanks to your presence that we can protect the safety of Dajing City. On behalf of the headquarters and all the ghost controllers, I thank you."

"Just stop saying a few words of vain thanks and be more practical." Tang Long shook hands with the other party perfunctorily, "When will the ghost gate be given to me?"

"You can let Mr. Tang take it away this time, and you don't need to return the music box." Cao Yanhua seemed very happy. After the ghost painting incident, he had basically reached an agreement with Wang Xiaoming on Tang Long's positioning, "And in the future, all employees at the headquarters will Supernatural things and ghosts, you can always call them if you need them."

"Good guy, he is almost half a law enforcement captain." Tang Long's eyes moved slightly. This time, the headquarters was more sincere, and he had figured out his position.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Tang Long stretched out his finger, "Three red ghost candles, five white ghost candles, and a scapegoat. In the future, Professor Xiao Wang will give me priority if he has any new research products. If I need it, I will give priority. Let me use it.”

"No problem." Cao Yanhua said with a sweet smile, "I will send someone to get it right now, and everything will be delivered within 10 minutes."

"As the saying goes, being courteous without anything to do is either a traitor or a thief." Tang Long looked at Cao Yanhua meaningfully, "It's rare for a deputy minister to be so generous. I guess you have something else you want me to do. Can you tell me about it?"

"No, absolutely not." Cao Yanhua said righteously, and then smiled honestly, "But I heard that Mr. Tang is planning to open a branch of Thriller Paradise in DQ City. I don't know if the funds can be turned around. Do you need it? need help?"

"I knew you couldn't help it."

Tang Long snickered in his heart, but his face showed an expression of indignation: "Oh~~ you are spying on me."

Originally, he could play this word game with Cao Yanhua for a whole day, but Wang Xiaoming suddenly said: "Aren't you two tired from acting like this?"

"One has known for a long time that the other party is going to open a branch and wants to intervene. The other is hoping that the other party will take the initiative to intervene so that he can become the hands-on shopkeeper. Why complicate such a simple matter? Isn't time a very precious thing? "

"Professor Xiao Wang, we are all familiar with this. I will sue you for defamation even if you talk nonsense." Tang Long coughed, "I don't want the headquarters to intervene. Why do you slander someone's innocence like this?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at him: "You don't want the headquarters to intervene. You even isolate your satellite phone when you sleep. Why don't you even set it to turn off your phone while talking?"

"Uh..." Tang Long was speechless for a moment, "I forgot."

"In short, if Mr. Tang needs any help, our headquarters will do our best to help." Cao Yanhua smoothed things over, "Whether it's manpower, material resources or land, as long as you ask, the headquarters can handle it safely and securely."

"Then you can explore the whole branch by the way, right?" Tang Long rolled his eyes, "You don't need to do anything more. Give me all the squares around Meiyou Pavilion. The policy has given the green light to support you. In return, I can give you When I assign employees to a branch, of course the management must be my people.”

Cao Yanhua was a little surprised when he acted like a hands-off shopkeeper with such arrogance: "Is it really possible?"

If Tang Long acquiesces, he can arrange all the employees of the entire Thriller Paradise to be employees of the headquarters, so that he can get first-hand information and have a reaction to anything he encounters.

"Of course, there are conditions." Tang Long said with a smile, "I don't like the group leaders of the headquarters headed by Shen Liang who use ghost controllers indiscriminately. Deputy Minister, please mark this group of people, slowly, little by little. They were all kicked out."

Before Cao Yanhua could speak, he interrupted: "Don't say that you can't do it as a deputy minister. If you can't do it, our cooperation will stop here. If we can... From now on, I will work in every city When opening a branch, we always ask the headquarters for help.”

It was obvious that he was asking the headquarters for help, but the offer was as much as [-] yuan, but Cao Yanhua did not dare to refuse and froze in place for a moment.

"Okay, just do as you say." At this moment, Wang Xiaoming nodded in agreement for him. "Professor Wang, this..." Cao Yanhua was a little stunned, "Firing almost half of the team leaders at the headquarters is likely to lead to unrest and instability in the situation."

"I didn't ask you to be fired at once. Didn't Tang Long say a little bit?" Wang Xiaoming said lightly, "Do you think that a group of guys who only have merit in their eyes will be worth more than Tang Long."

Cao Yanhua was speechless. Not to mention the group leader, even though he, the deputy minister, was dispensable compared to Tang Long, those people were more or less related to the top. If they were to be expelled like this...

"it is good!"

In the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed. At worst, he, the deputy minister, would take the blame and resign. Anyway, with Professor Wang and Mr. Tang here, the headquarters would only get better and better.

"That's it." Tang Long smiled slightly, "Only by understanding the changes of the times can the headquarters continue to stand. Then I'll leave the matter to DQ City."

"Have the times changed..." Cao Yanhua was silent. It seemed that with the strong appearance of Tang Long and Mr. Qin gradually retiring behind the scenes, the headquarters has changed from being the one who dominates and controls the situation to being able to only deal with some miscellaneous things. .

Wang Xiaoming seems to have realized this a long time ago and has been selecting people who can lead and protect this era, and he has found him.

"I understand." Cao Yanhua didn't realize it until now. Fortunately, it's not too late.

"Thank you so much, Deputy Minister." Tang Long turned to Wang Xiaoming and asked, "How is Li Jun's condition?" He didn't have time to understand the mixed feelings in Cao Yanhua's heart.

"It's not bad. It's been a while since the curse broke out, and after Gui Hua was imprisoned, he seemed to have fulfilled his wish and looked away from everything."

Wang Xiaoming looked at Tang Long: "But since you can save Ye Zhen from the curse of the music box, you should also be able to save Li Jun."

"You should have heard Cao Yang tell me how I saved Ye Zhen. Now you are just preparing to follow the same method."

As Tang Long spoke, another piece of sandalwood appeared in his hand.

"You still have it?" Wang Xiaoming was a little surprised. You must know that even though the entire headquarters tried its best to find a single piece of sandalwood.

"This stuff was not that rare during the Republic of China, but now it's probably because the store closed down that it becomes hard to find."

Tang Long shrugged: "After all, I have been looking for things left over from that era, so I still have some inventory."

"How many more do you have?" Wang Xiaoming raised his eyebrows, "If it's convenient, I also need one here."

"can."

Tang Long still has three sticks in his hand, one for Li Jun and one for Wang Xiaoming. Moreover, he has accumulated a lot of scream points during this period. He will be able to pump a hundred times in a row soon. Maybe he can get a few more by then. root.

"Thank you." Wang Xiaoming nodded, with a slight smile on his lips, "There is something I have wanted to try a long time ago."

"As long as you're happy." Tang Long curled his lips. He didn't ask the other party what he wanted to try. Anyway, he might not be able to say it if he asked, and it might not be true if he said it.

For Wang Xiaoming, lying is as easy as eating and drinking, and no one else can spot him.

"Before I go to see Li Jun, I have one more thing to tell you." Tang Long told the painter's story in detail.

"Is this a painting that predicts the future?"

Wang Xiaoming's eyes flickered twice, and he didn't seem very interested. It seemed that after confirming Tang Long's value, he didn't care much about this kind of existence.

"Do you think it's the ghost controllers from abroad who are planning to use that ghost ship to send all the ghosts to us?" Tang Long began to induce carefully.

"It is indeed possible, but to be honest, there is nothing to worry about." Wang Xiaoming behaved very calmly, "What we have to do is focus on the present, because we have found the future... You are our future."

"So, instead of thinking about what will happen in the future, it is better to seize the present and let you implement your own plan. There is no need to be led by others."

"There are special organizations keeping an eye on the overseas headquarters. You don't have to worry. We will know about any changes as soon as possible."

"What's more, the future will also be changed. You and Xiong Wenwen have partnered twice. There is no reason why you can't understand this."
