Chapter 171 Damn it
Zheng Wenjie snorted and patted the color-printed magazine in his hand. A thin policeman with glasses, with his arms folded across his chest, made a pistol gesture with one hand. The Wan Chai Gunslinger was introduced in a few lines of flamboyant characters, and the entire cover page was filled with him.

Putting the magazine back on the shelf at the entrance, Zheng Wenjie paced around the convenience store. The refrigerator was filled with all kinds of drinks and beers. There was a door in the corner of the convenience store next to the refrigerator with a sign saying "No Entry".

Zheng Wenjie didn't look through the door and pushed it open directly. The space inside was even larger than the store outside.

The room is antique and has a large dark wood desk with only a simple pen holder, a bundle of white paper, and a lifelike carved paperweight.

In front of the desk is a bookshelf filled with books, which makes this place more like a small library.

Zheng Wenjie originally thought it was a store's warehouse, but he didn't expect it to be like this. No wonder the soul-catcher told him that Zhao Wenru stayed in the convenience store all day long.

Using his X-ray vision, he took a quick look around. It was a normal study room. Zhao Wenru hadn't left anything there except for these few shelves of books.

Fang Dawei's family of four were lucky and were allocated public housing after only two years of waiting.

He ran breathlessly into the narrow unit door, and did not stop when passing by his own home. Only after he came to the next door and recovered his strength did he realize that Liang Jiamin was not at home.

Fang Dawei panted and slapped his forehead, and the sound made the dark corridor illuminated by the sensor light again.

"Damn it! Damn it! You can see ghosts just by doing your job, what are you doing! There really are ghosts."

Fang Dawei put his hands on his hips and muttered to himself as he returned to his home. He quietly wrote down the address that Liang Kun had given him, hid it carefully, then left the house and hailed a taxi.

"St. Lihua University, hurry up, Master!"

"We're in a hurry..." the driver repeated, slowing down the car and blowing a whistle.

Fang Dawei sighed helplessly: "No way, Master, do this?"

"Brother, I listened to you. Look how fast I'm driving now."

Fang Dawei was so angry that he started to search the pockets of his jeans and took out scattered bills. Without even counting them, he grabbed the front seat and threw all the bills onto the passenger seat, saying loudly: "Taxi driver, look carefully, there are at least 600 yuan, I'll give it all to you, please drive faster!"

Leaning back on the seat, Fang Dawei didn't feel sorry at all. He just kept repeating that he shouldn't be angry. He would be a millionaire tomorrow. Why should he be angry with a taxi driver?
"Haha, okay, sit tight, bro!"

Noticing that the car speed was indeed several times faster, the anger he had left was almost gone. Thinking about what Liang Kun said about there being a batch of goods in addition to money, he couldn't help but think about how to exchange that batch of goods for money.

And Liang Jiamin. Now that I am a rich man, I can definitely make Jiamin and Xu Bowen break up and fall into my arms. Go and tell her now.

She would be really excited to know that I saw a ghost.

Based on Fang Dawei's own understanding of Liang Jiamin, she was very interested in this kind of supernatural events. The most outrageous thing was that she once hid in the hospital morgue for a whole night.

I heard that there were horrible crying sounds coming from the morgue of this hospital every midnight, and even two security guards were scared away.

As long as I tell her that I saw a ghost and the ghost gave me all the money he had hidden during his lifetime, Jiamin will definitely be interested in me.

When Fang Dawei thought about this, he couldn't help but smile. What he didn't notice was that since he threw the money, the taxi driver's eyes became cold. Looking at the smiling Fang Dawei in the rearview mirror, his eyes became cruel.

Zheng Wenjie cleaned up the dirt behind the cash register and tidied up the convenience store as well. From now on, it was his territory.

After clapping his hands, Zheng Wenjie remembered what Pluto A-Cha said. He took out the Yin Book, opened it, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

The first page above is like a calendar, with a check mark under today's day, and the rest is blank.

As expected of the underworld, there is not even a single day off. The price of this ferryman's eternal life is to exchange time with A-Cha.

Since obtaining the Book of Yin, Zheng Wenjie has only read it once, and then threw it into the red coffin and ignored it.

Now he became interested and turned two more pages. They were the names of the people who were going to die next. After turning two more pages, Zheng Wenjie stopped and realized that the person on this page was Fang Dawei.

According to the time shown above, he would be dead in thirteen minutes, or one or two o'clock.

Zheng Wenjie was speechless. He had just reminded him that if he didn't want to die young, he should go and exorcise the evil spirit.

Ma Xiaoling has lost another business deal.

The wind chime hanging on the shop door rang. Zheng Wenjie took back the book of secrets and turned to look. Liang Jiamin ran to the refrigerator with her long straight legs and took out a bottle of water to drink.

The slender white neck came into view, and Zheng Wenjie also stopped to stare for a moment.

"Who are you!"

Liang Jiamin relieved her thirst and wondered why Fang Dawei didn't come to care about her. Then she found that there was a stranger at the cashier.

"You were asked by Dawei, right? What's your name? New friend, my name is Liang Jiamin." After thinking for a moment, Liang Jiamin guessed that Fang Dawei must have something urgent, and he asked this person to cover for him.

He took another bottle of water and put it on the cashier counter, and said enthusiastically, "You're welcome. I'm the deputy manager of this convenience store. I called Dawei to help. What urgent matter did he encounter?"

"Urgent? Are you dying?" Zheng Wenjie replied, picked up the barcode scanner and scanned the barcode twice.

Liang Jiamin pouted and raised her voice: "What are you talking about? Isn't Mrs. Fang in good health? Mr. Fang is also normal today. Are you saying that his brother is not doing well?"

"I mean he's dying." Zheng Wenjie looked up at the clock: "There are eight minutes left before he dies."

Liang Jiamin raised her head, shook her dreadlocks, and looked at Zheng Wenjie like a lunatic: "No, brother, do you know what you are talking about?"

"You have to call me boss." Zheng Wenjie calmly unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, then continued, "Since you bought me a drink, I won't fire you. Eight yuan."

Liang Jiamin understood now that Fang Dawei had found a psychopath to help. She sighed and looked at Zheng Wenjie with pity. Her tone became gentle: "Where is your home? Do you remember the phone number? I'll take you home."

"This convenience store is mine. Zhao Wenru was helping me run the store. Now he's dead."

"Did you understand? And Fang Dawei, he's had bad luck today. He just got into a taxi and the driver is a murderer. He's dead."

Liang Jiamin stood there in a daze, staring at Zheng Wenjie without blinking, and raised her hand to hit Zheng Wenjie in the face, but Zheng Wenjie blocked it with his backhand.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! I'm not dreaming. No, who are you?"

Liang Jiamin covered her hands and jumped twice on the spot. She looked up at Zheng Wenjie, tears streaming down her face as she cried, "Uncle Zhao is dead? Fang Dawei is dead too?"

"You're fired. How much was your salary? I'll make up for three months. Forget it. I'll make up for 10,000 yuan."

Zheng Wenjie shook his head. Convenience store employees are just ordinary people. If there is anything abnormal, it is that Liang Jiamin has a strong destiny. According to physiognomy, she is blessed with good fortune.

"Wait, wait." Liang Jiamin held down Zheng Wenjie's hand as she was about to open the cash drawer. She looked at her hand and saw that it was all red even to her wrist. Zheng Wenjie didn't dodge and looked up at her.

Liang Jiamin forced a smile: "Well, boss. Can you explain more clearly what happened to Uncle Zhao?" "My dad and he are friends. They often drink tea together. What happened to him? My dad met him during the day."

"What do you know about this convenience store?" Zheng Wenjie pulled her hand away and asked her.

"Boss, I'm the deputy store manager. I'm familiar with both buying and selling goods. No, I'm asking Uncle Zhao."

Zheng Wenjie nodded, confirming that Zhao Wenru had indeed done nothing and that this convenience store had been run as an ordinary store.

"He is from the mainland. He has quit his job and has gone back home."

"So I took over the convenience store again." Zheng Wenjie said as he reached out to open the cash drawer, but then he remembered that he didn't know the password and looked at the cash register keyboard.

Every detail on the numeric keypad is visible, as if it were magnified a hundred times or a thousand times.

Zheng Wenjie followed the traces and determined the password. After trying it twice, the cash box popped out.

As far as Zheng Wenjie knew, the average employee of Sun Group earned around 7,000 yuan a month, so Zhao Wenru probably wouldn't pay much.

But Zheng Wenjie didn't care. There were only five bills of the largest denomination of one thousand yuan, but there was a small stack of one hundred yuan bills.

Zheng Wenjie took them out and placed them in front of Liang Jiamin. Only then did he see that her face was covered with tears and she was looking at him with wide eyes while crying.

"If it's not ten thousand, it's at least seven or eight thousand. Take your wages and let's go." Zheng Wenjie pointed to the cashier counter and said.

"Uncle Zhao is a local! My dad knew him when he was young! Although he said that this convenience store is not his, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau remembers that the name is his!"

"Tell Fang Dawei to get out here! Where's Fang Dawei? Tell him to come out! How can you play such a joke on me?"

Zheng Wenjie laughed and said, "The police station is just across the street. If you don't believe me, you can choose to call the police. As for the name of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau you mentioned, you can take another look."

Zheng Wenjie pointed to several business licenses hanging above the employee badge behind him. Now the names on them have all been changed to Zheng Wenjie.

"You can understand it as Zhao Wenru has returned to his hometown. Now I am the boss here. Take the money and leave."

Liang Jiamin stared and looked again and again, wiped the tears from her face, and looked again to confirm. Then she looked at Zheng Wenjie, panting, turned around and walked out of the store.

Looking at Liang Jiamin walking away quickly outside the glass, Zheng Wenjie shook his head and put the money on the counter back into the cash machine.

A night passed quietly, and the traffic outside the store increased. Zheng Wenjie skillfully helped customers pay the bills and make change until Tang Xue came in with two young men.

"Brother~ I'm here to pick you up from get off work!" Tang Xue, dressed in a women's suit, stood in front of Zheng Wenjie across the cash register and said with a coquettish smile.

Zheng Wenjie glanced at her with a smile, then looked at the man and woman behind her. Both of them looked obviously unhappy.

"Hey, this is an outstanding employee I selected from the company. He will be responsible for the operation of this store from now on."

Tang Xue said to Zheng Wenjie and then turned sideways to the two of them and said, "Introduce yourself to the boss."

"Hello, boss. My name is Youdi."

"My name is Zhou Xiuyuan."

Youdi was dressed in a white-collar outfit, black stockings, a short skirt and high heels, but the expression on her face was awkward. However, she still forced a smile and spoke to Zheng Wenjie.

Zhou Xiuyuan was very calm, standing straight, wearing a high-end suit with a tissue hanging on it, and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like an elite.

"Hello." Zheng Wenjie greeted him, then reached out and pinched Tang Xue's cheek: "Do you think they are suitable to be cashiers here?"

Tang Xue held Zheng Wenjie's hand with her backhand, leaned on the counter and approached Zheng Wenjie with a bright smile on her face: "It's a small shop now, but it won't be in a few days. Let them take charge of it. It won't be long before they are all over Hong Kong Island."

"Zhou Xiuyuan is the person in charge of the shopping center, and Youdi is the manager. They are both very capable. I will approve the funding for them. I believe in them. By then, our No. 138 convenience store will be the only one in the entire Hong Kong Island."

"If the remaining stores that are squeezed out can still operate, I will pay to destroy them."

“By then, large supermarkets will have our shopping centers, and small stores will also be taken over by us.”

"Twenty-four-hour convenience store, now that we have the patent, it won't be long before we can make back our investment and continue to make a lot of money!"

Tang Xue's words were so passionate that even the customers who were sitting in the customer area eating sandwiches stood up and approached the cashier.

Yudi's expression also began to show an unstoppable smile as Tang Xue said, and Zhou Xiuyuan also raised his glasses.

Both of them received calls from Tang Xue in the middle of the night, who only told them that new positions had been arranged for them, without giving them any details.

If it is true as Tang Xue said that they will be given a large amount of funds and a patent for a 24-hour convenience store, it would be very promising indeed.

Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue's confident face strangely and asked, "What is the patent for the 24-hour convenience store?"

"Boss, although the 138-hour business model is just a business model, the No. convenience store is the first convenience store model in Hong Kong, and the business management system it adopts can be patented."

"The group's legal department will also serve convenience stores." Zhou Xiuyuan smiled and interrupted Zheng Wenjie.

Tang Xue glanced at the customers in the store, walked around to the cashier counter, stood behind Zheng Wenjie, leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"If anyone still runs a 24-hour convenience store, I will ask the Ministry of Justice to sue them. We are the first, so whatever we say makes sense."

Zheng Wenjie understood that it was because of his wealth and influence that he forced others to stop operating stores according to the model of 24-hour convenience stores.

He turned around and looked at Tang Xue unhappily. Seeing her long hair tied up and wearing a women's suit, Zheng Wenjie shook his head and got used to Tang Xue's enthusiasm for making money.

"You can do whatever you want with the rest, but I'll be in charge of this convenience store. Just find two employees for me. I'll come back in a couple of days. I'll leave it to you. I'm going home now."

After Zheng Wenjie finished speaking, he tapped Tang Xue's forehead, walked out of the cashier counter, nodded to Zhou Xiuyuan and the others, and walked out of the store, leaving the car parked on the side of the road.

There was not much space in the cash register, and Tang Xue did not hide backwards. Most of her body was pressed against Zheng Wenjie. Looking at Zheng Wenjie's back as he was about to leave the store after finishing speaking, Tang Xue patted her slightly reddened cheeks with her hands.

Seeing Zhou Xiuyuan and the other man looking at Zheng Wenjie's back with curious eyes, Tang Xue coughed twice: "Do you understand? The rest is up to you. No matter whether the location is good or not, we must have a branch."

"Prepare the plan and submit it to the group for review in a couple of days. Whether you are recruiting or doing anything else, you two should take charge first."

After Tang Xue finished speaking, she walked steadily in her high heels and followed Zheng Wenjie out of the store. Just as she thought, Zheng Wenjie was standing next to the car holding the ticket.
