Celestial Master I

Early the next morning, Nie Xingfeng followed Nie Ruiting to the company.

The Nie Group building has 23 floors. The top three floors are the finance department, the general affairs department, the offices of the directors, and the offices of the assistants and secretaries. There are three elevators directly to the third floor. When taking the elevators, the staff of each department are very busy. Consciously crowded together to make a big space for the high-level people.

When they reached the top floor, there were only the two of them left in the elevator. Nie Ruiting then said, "Brother, on your first day at work, you must at least put a smile on everyone's face. Didn't you see that the elevator was completely silent just now?"

"Shouldn't the elevator be quiet?"

"wrong!"

Nie Ruiting shook his finger and corrected: "The average age of the employees of our Nie's Group is 32 years old. Can you expect them to be as quiet as old men when they take the elevator? It was your cold face that scared everyone. When you entered the company just now, Did you see the plaque hanging above the lobby - affable, hardworking, pragmatic, in a company, affability is important."

"I saw it. Not only did I see those words, but I also saw a more interesting thing next to it. Oh, I didn't expect it to be on our floor. I thought it was a Taoist temple." As soon as the elevator door opened, Nie Xing Feng pointed to the bronze mirror hanging high on the wall and said.

The bronze mirror is dark gray, separated by a curve in the middle, forming two poles of yin and yang, simple and elegant.It is not very conspicuous because it is hung high, but it is a pity that Nie Xingfeng's vision is above 2.0, so it is difficult to ignore it.

"Hey..." Nie Ruiting had no choice but to hide his shortcomings by laughing.

When he came to the office, Nie Ruiting rang the bell to ask his secretary Li Ting to bring the coffee, and he flattered Nie Xingfeng: "Brother, are you satisfied with this room? I arranged it according to your preferences."

Nie Xingfeng looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for not hanging a demon mirror in my office."

"That's not a demon mirror, it's a magic weapon to ward off evil."

"what is the difference?"

Nie Ruiting thought about it, and felt that it would be a very difficult process to explain clearly.

"Theoretically, it shouldn't be any different...Brother, have some coffee."

After receiving the coffee offered by his younger brother, Nie Xingfeng motioned him to sit down and asked, "What's going on?"

He knew that although Nie Ruiting didn't reject metaphysics, he didn't admire it either, so there was naturally a reason for him to hang up magic artifacts in the company.

Sure enough, Nie Ruiting approached mysteriously and said, "Recently, there seems to be something unclean in the company."

"Wandering spirit? Ghost?"

"Nothing at all."

"what?"

"It's the scariest thing when you can't see anything."

"Please explain in a language I can understand!"

Nie Xingfeng rubbed his temples, feeling that it was understandable for him not to be able to digest Nie Ruiting's words, after all he had been abroad for two years.

"Is such that……"

A week ago the treasury department started to keep the lights on all night for no reason and the windows wide open.At that time, no one paid attention to it, thinking that the person who left last forgot to turn it off, but the strange phenomenon soon spread to the general affairs department, followed by the computer room, secretary room, and many people who worked overtime and left late heard footsteps coming from the corridor There was no sound, but when I went out to look, there was not even half a person.

"Brother, do you think it's scary?"

Nie Xingfeng shook his head.

Nie Ruiting was very discouraged when he didn't get the resonance. Perhaps his elder brother was left with the toughest teeth in the whole world.

"But others think it's scary. You also know how superstitious people are nowadays. Within a day, the whole company is full of rumors. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I had to ask Mr. Lin to help me look at Feng Shui. Fortunately, he said that the building The yin energy is not heavy, as long as you hang up magic vessels on each floor, you can avoid strange things from happening, so I did it."

"Who is Mr. Lin?"

"You've been abroad for a long time, and even Lin Chunqing doesn't know about it. He is an important figure in the world of gods and physiognomy today. I heard that he is superb in Taoism and dares to fight fierce ghosts."

"Fighting with a ghost? Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

Sighing again for the big brother's iron teeth, Nie Ruiting shook his head, "No, hehe... It's better not to see that kind of thing."

"Then after hanging up the magic weapon, do strange things still happen?"

"No, everything is back to normal, don't you think it's strange?"

Nie Xingfeng doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he knows the importance of calming people's minds. As long as everyone can work peacefully, it doesn't hurt to hang up magic instruments.

"In that case, let's hang it up, but take off this layer, this layer is only the two of us, I'm not afraid of any ghosts, don't tell me you are afraid of ghosts."

Apart from their offices on the top floor, there are only a few large and small meeting rooms, which are only used for meetings, so Nie Xingfeng proposed this.

"Who said I'm afraid? If you want to pick it up, brother, I'll support you!" Nie Ruiting immediately replied not to be outdone.

So the magic weapon hanging in the corridor was taken off, and Nie Xingfeng took the bronze mirror to look at it front and back, and threw it into the drawer casually.

The day passed quickly. Li Ting came in during dinner and gave Nie Xingfeng a bento bought from the company restaurant. She was originally Nie Ruiting's secretary and was seconded to help.

The aroma of vegetables soon filled the whole office. After eating, Nie Xingfeng turned off the air conditioner, walked to the window, and wanted to open the window to let in some air. Unexpectedly, the window chute was very astringent. He struggled for a long time before he managed to Open the window halfway, the night wind blows lightly outside, and the lights of thousands of houses are already on.

He stretched himself, then turned back to his desk to continue working. When the work came to an end, it was past eleven o'clock when the blinds were rolled up suddenly, and the night wind blew the paper on the table rattling.

Nie Xingfeng hurriedly ran to close the window, and managed to close the window. Just as he was about to put down the curtains, he suddenly saw a shadow of a figure with long hair fluttering on the glass, standing behind him. He hurriedly turned his head, but no one was there. .

It is really not good to look at the computer for a long time, and ghosting will appear when looking at things.

A loud ringtone came, and Nie Xingfeng turned on the phone. It was Nie Ruiting.

"Brother, are you still in the company?"

"Yeah, where are you? It's so noisy."

"Bar, of course I want to enjoy life while I'm young. Unlike you, I know how to work. How about it? Would you like to come over and have a drink together?"

"No, I'm going straight home."

It seems that he has to learn to enjoy life like his younger brother, for example, go home and take a good hot bath.

After hanging up the phone, Nie Xingfeng picked up his briefcase and left the office. There happened to be an elevator parked on the top floor. He walked into the elevator and just pressed the button to go to the first floor when he heard the sound of high heels. A tall girl walked quickly come over.

Nie Xingfeng hurriedly pressed the door open button, and only let go when she got into the elevator.

The girl didn't show any respect to his politeness, she lowered her head halfway, her long hair hanging down, covering half of her face.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor. When the door opened, three girls came in chirping, but when they saw Nie Xingfeng, they all closed their mouths at the same time.

One of them is Li Ting. She nodded to Nie Xingfeng to greet him. Nie Xingfeng moved in to make room for them. The three girls thanked them repeatedly, but they still squeezed together in a restrained manner, keeping a distance from him. .

Thinking of Nie Ruiting's advice, Nie Xingfeng felt that he needed to show his affinity, so he took the initiative to say hello.

"Why are you leaving so late?"

A girl said: "There are a lot of documents to be processed at the end of the month, so I got off work late. It happened that Li Ting said that there was a new restaurant nearby, and they had a [-]% discount on snacks after [-] o'clock, so we made an appointment to go together."

"It's not too late, girls are not safe outside."

"Thank you Chairman, we will take a taxi home and live in the same apartment again, nothing will happen."

The elevator went straight to the first floor. After the elevator door opened, Nie Xingfeng pressed the door open button on his side and signaled the girls to go first. The three girls thanked them and got out of the elevator, but the girl who entered the elevator with him was still standing there. , no intention of going out.

Nie Xingfeng looked at her strangely, feeling that it was a bit abrupt to ask, he hesitated for a moment, and then got out of the elevator.

He took a few steps forward and turned his head subconsciously. The moment the elevator door closed, he only saw a pale face flash past, and then the floor lights gradually moved upwards.

Maybe she missed the floor.

Nie Xingfeng came to the company's underground parking lot and drove the car out of the parking space. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned into the driveway, he saw someone standing directly in front of him. It seemed to come out of nowhere. The sudden incident made it too late for him to step on the brakes. There was a bang, and the front of the car hit the man heavily.

The first reaction was to hit someone, so Nie Xingfeng jumped out of the car in a hurry, but there was nothing in front of the car. The lights in the parking lot were not too bright, but he could still clearly see that there was nothing on the straight lane.

The front of the car was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no trace of collision at all. Nie Xingfeng frowned and looked around, and then took a few steps forward. After confirming that there was no one in the driveway, he patted his forehead.

It must be visual and auditory hallucinations caused by overwork.

He turned back and was about to open the door to get in the car, his eyes glanced at the rearview mirror, and suddenly he saw a figure flash in the mirror.

Turning around hastily, who knew that the person was close behind him, the two stood face to face, and suddenly saw a magnified facial features, Nie Xingfeng was taken aback.

"you……"

There was an icy breath, and he took a step back subconsciously. He saw that the girl was dressed like the girl who took the elevator with him just now, but her face was covered by her hair, so she couldn't see clearly. The fluorescent lights in the parking lot gave off a pale silver light. Only to see that her wrists are astonishingly white.

"Miss, did I hurt you just now?"

The girl didn't speak, and just handed him a few pieces of paper in her hand. Nie Xingfeng took it, and it was a few ordinary financial statements. He looked at it strangely, looked up and was about to ask a question, but there was no one in front of him. .

He didn't hear footsteps, the girl suddenly appeared and then disappeared, if he didn't have those few pieces of paper in his hand, he almost thought he was hallucinating again.

Nie Xingfeng returned to the car inexplicably, threw the report aside, shifted the gear and stepped on the accelerator, but the car did not move at all.

What the hell, why is everything weird tonight?

His hand holding the steering wheel tightened suddenly, and then he laughed at himself.

A joke, there are no ghosts in this world, they are all scaring themselves.

Nie Xingfeng lowered his head to check the gas pedal, but the paper placed next to him fluttered down in front of him, and the figure of the girl was reflected in the rearview mirror. She sat quietly behind Nie Xingfeng, seeing that he didn't care about the report at all, her face was gloomy When they got down, it happened that Nie Xingfeng raised his head and looked at her directly through the rear-view mirror.

Suddenly seeing someone in the car, Nie Xingfeng was startled, and hurriedly turned around, but the spacious back seat was empty.There was a coldness in the car that was completely contrary to midsummer. Before he could react, he felt that a pair of cold hands had clasped his neck and strangled him tightly, making him unable to breathe.

"Why don't you watch it! ? 』

The cry was like a sharp knife cutting through a copper vessel, hoarse and piercing. Nie Xingfeng struggled to shake the girl away, but he couldn't do it because he leaned back. He was pinched by those invisible hands and fell on the seat.

"Let go..."

The sharp nails pierced Nie Xingfeng's skin, and the desperate cry disappeared in the cold hands. There was a throbbing pain in his chest, and the severe hypoxia made his eyes turn white, and his consciousness gradually faded away.

The Taoist talisman floated out of the half-slanted pocket, and a golden light suddenly appeared in the dark car. The woman was stunned, looked at the Taoist talisman with her head tilted, and let go of her hand hesitantly.

"Maybe, you can help us..."

In the early morning, a crisp ringtone woke Nie Xingfeng up from his dream. He searched for a long time before he found that the phone had dropped on the ground, and he quickly picked it up.

"Brother, I called you several times last night, why didn't you answer?" Nie Ruiting asked from the opposite side.

last night?

After meditating for a long time in his drowsy head, he suddenly remembered that weird dream, and Nie Xingfeng rubbed his neck subconsciously.

"Did you call very late? Maybe I was asleep and didn't hear."

"It's not too late. I wanted to ask you to have a midnight snack, but you didn't answer the phone all the time. That's it. See you at work later."

This guy, his secretary works until late at night, but he leaves work early to go to the bar. Is he really planning to push the whole company to himself?

Nie Xingfeng hung up the phone with a smile, his eyes swept across the table, and his smile froze instantly.

On the table next to the bed were those financial statements.

Before nine o’clock is the peak of working hours, and the elevators to the top floor are all in operation. Nie Xingfeng had to take an elevator that stops between the tenth floor and the top floor. The door of the elevator was about to close when a young man suddenly came running out of breath. With a lot of paper bags in his hand, he shouted as he ran, "Please wait, please wait."

The handsome face with a smile made Nie Xingfeng's heart skip a beat.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Henry Zhang, who returned to China on the same plane as him two days ago, now appeared in his company again, which was something Nie Xingfeng never expected anyway.

Nie Xingfeng stood in the innermost part, Henry Zhang didn’t see him, and after rushing into the elevator, he asked the people beside him in a low voice.

"Why is there a bronze mirror hanging in the hall?"

The man disagreed, "Hanging the bronze mirror is naturally to ward off evil spirits."

"Oh."

Seeing Henry Zhang, Nie Xingfeng suddenly remembered the yellow talisman. No matter how he changed his clothes these two days, the talisman always appeared in his pocket like taking root, which was weird enough.

After reaching the sixteenth floor, only Henry Zhang and Nie Xingfeng were left in the elevator, and upon discovering the existence of Nie Xingfeng, Henry Zhang's mouth immediately opened wide, with an incredible expression on his face.

"It's you!"

After not seeing him for a few days, Nie Xingfeng's face darkened a bit, and Henry Zhang laughed after seeing the deep black fingerprints on his neck.

Recently, the fortune has been good. I just went to Italy and made a fortune. Now someone in the company is in trouble. Seeing that he is full of money, hehe, he is about to get rich again.

Nie Xingfeng didn't know that he was being calculated. Seeing the friendly smile in the pale blue eyes, he could only nod in greeting.

"Coincidentally."

Henry Zhang approached him enthusiastically, and said: "It's really a coincidence, we are actually colleagues, did you just transfer from the Italian branch?"

"It's..." That's right.

Seeing that Henry Zhang didn’t know himself, Nie Xingfeng didn’t explain much.

"Then let's get to know each other again, my name is Henry Zhang."

Henry Zhang stretched out his hand, and the paper bags fell to the ground under his large movements, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand to pick up the fallen paper bags.

The paper bag was written in Italian, and it seemed to be a gift from Henry Zhang to his colleagues, and there were quite a few copies. The prices over there were very high, and it must have cost him a lot of money to buy these gifts.

On the plane, Nie Xingfeng saw that he even packed the food in the cabin and thought he was a stingy person. Now he finds that his judgment seems to be wrong.

Seeing Henry Zhang's distressed appearance, Nie Xingfeng smiled, and leaned over to help him pick up the paper bag. A scent of CK came, and he couldn't help but strike up a conversation, "You bought a lot of gifts."

"Yeah, it doesn't cost me anyway."

"what?"

"Oh, nothing."

He can't say that he coaxed his employer to buy them for him. After all, he really took the trouble to catch ghosts this time, and he spent half his life to earn a free two-week trip to Italy, stingy Italian.

Henry Zhang hurriedly arranged the bags, and said, "I work in the General Affairs Department, what about you?"

Before Nie Xingfeng answered, the elevator had reached the twentieth floor, and the elevator door opened. Henry Zhang hurriedly pressed his body against the door, and said to Nie Xingfeng: "I'm working on this floor, come and have tea with me when you have time, I have something important to tell you."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew, the elevator door closed, and Nie Xingfeng heard another crash of something falling outside.

After finishing work in the morning, Nie Xingfeng took out the reports and read them again.

Last night was not a dream. There was a strange girl who intercepted him and then let him go. The memory of how he got home after that was a little blurry. It seemed that he just walked back subconsciously, just like a person can return to himself accurately no matter how drunk he is. like home.

He has read the report several times. It is a few ordinary data sheets. He has a background in finance and deals with data all day long. If there is anything wrong, it will never escape his eyes.

So, what is the purpose of that girl giving him the report?

Nie Xingfeng rang the bell to call Li Ting in, and asked, "Do you know which department the girl who took the elevator with us last night belongs to?"

Li Ting thought for a while, and said, "I thought it was the chairman who asked her to come up. Normally, employees don't come to the top floor, but I didn't pay attention to who she was. I asked Yang Yang and Zhao Yizhi to see."

Yang Yang and Zhao Yizhi are the two girls who were with Li Ting last night. They work in the General Affairs Department. They were recently called by Nie Ruiting to help Li Ting, because Li Ting was working as two secretaries at the same time, and she was a little too busy.

"By the way, give me a file of general affairs, finance, and employees above the middle level."

He has just taken over the work here, and needs to understand the talents and working abilities of his subordinates as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, the explanation was only completed in the morning, and Nie Ruiting hurried in at noon.

"Brother, I heard that you are laying off employees?"

"Um?"

Nie Ruiting ran up to him, persuading him earnestly: "Think carefully, laying off employees as soon as you take over the company will easily lead to brain drain."

Nie Xingfeng glanced at him, "Who said layoffs?"

"I saw Li Ting backing up your staff data for you, so I thought...hehe..."

Realizing that he seemed to have made a mistake, Nie Ruiting didn't dare to talk nonsense, and obediently sat aside.

Ignoring the idiot brother, Nie Xingfeng continued to read the information. Now he is looking at the Finance Department. The current head of the Finance Department is Zhou Yan, and the deputy head is Li Shunchang.Zhou Yan is a veteran of the three dynasties, Nie Xingfeng has known him for a long time, and Li Shunchang was promoted two years ago. The file reviews say that he is rigorous and meticulous in his work and very talented.

The phone rang, it was Li Ting.

"Chairman, Yang Yang and the others said that the person who took the elevator with us last night seemed to be Chen Xueer from the finance department, but they were not sure, because Chen Xueer hadn't come to work for more than a week, and she didn't ask for leave. It was reported to the General Affairs Department, and now the general affairs people are trying to contact Chen Xueer's family."

The two departments of finance and general affairs are very close to each other. The staff should be familiar with each other. Why can't they be sure who the girl is?

Nie Xingfeng put down the phone and turned to Chen Xueer's file. She graduated from the Department of Financial Management and was in charge of the company's fund allocation and processing. Her photo was posted on her resume. She has a pretty face and long hair. She looks like the girl from last night. , but it doesn't seem quite like it.

Nie Ruiting was flipping through the newspaper boredly at the side, and when he saw this, he immediately came over and said excitedly: "Brother, you finally reacted to the opposite sex, this is a good sign."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Nie Xingfeng slapped him away, and then turned the information to the General Affairs Department, all the way to Henry Zhang's page.

The face in the photo is full of gentle smiles, and next to it is written, Henry Zhang, 25 years old, graduated from XX University, graduated from the Department of Information Management, and joined the company for one year and seven months.

The comments about him are only a few sentences: enthusiastic about work, but inexperienced, no special expertise, still needs training, etc. After reading the comments, Nie Xingfeng immediately came to a conclusion——

Henry Zhang has average education and average work ability. The only thing that is unusual about him is his appearance.

Nie Ruiting came over like a fly again, looked at Henry Zhang's information and laughed: "Oh, it turns out that the eldest brother is also interested in beautiful and handsome guys. Henry Zhang is full of good personality, handsome, and very popular in the company."

"you know?"

"Of course, there are no employees on the upper and lower floors who don't know him."

"The expertise doesn't match, how could he work in general affairs?"

"Oh, I heard it was recommended by him. He said that he doesn't like to do things that involve too many brains. The work of uploading and issuing is most suitable for him."

Oh, it really looks like what Henry Zhang would say.

"Do you have an idea about him? If you like it, I will give him up immediately and give him to you."

Nie Xingfeng didn't show mercy this time, and knocked Sanba into the air with one punch, and said coldly, "I didn't know you still had the habit of breaking sleeves."

Nie Ruiting yelled in pain: "I don't know who has that habit? You don't even have a girlfriend until now. You finally got one when you were in college, and you were kicked by someone. Maybe they knew about you. hobby, that's why..."

"Stinky boy, how dare you say that!"

Nie Xingfeng reached out to pick up the paperweight on the table. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Nie Ruiting didn't dare to speak any more, and fled away.
