Suddenly curious, how do the ghost messengers deal with the ghosts after they catch them?

[Contents]

Yesterday I went to the house of my cousin who was acting as a ghost, and found that their nanny, cook, and driver were all acted by my cousin's ghost. Orz wants to know if this is a special case or an unspoken rule in the industry?I couldn't believe that those fierce ghosts could become so obedient.

1L: Intermediate-level ghost envoys, with fifty or so ghost messengers on hand, two of them squeeze their shoulders and two beat their legs, one feeds tea, one feeds snacks, and one warms the bed. By the way, the line that the host sees now It was also a ghost messenger with a relatively fast typing speed who answered for me [The Sitting Posture of the Big Brother.jpg]

2L: Worship the big brother, since ancient times the big brother is really stunning!

3L: Big brother is a werewolf, the identification is complete [doge]

4L: I was preparing for the junior ghost qualification exam, and I suddenly became motivated [surprised] I didn’t say anything, I went to catch ghosts [Looking forward]

5L: Big brother wants to trick me into taking the ghost test [bye]

6L: Do you suddenly feel that Li Gui is a bit pitiful?

7L: Brother is too exaggerated. Different ghost messengers use Li ghosts in different ways. They are both friends and subordinates. I have even seen people who treat Li ghosts like family members.

8L: To add to 7L, although tamed ghosts are legally the exclusive errands of ghost messengers, ghost messengers can let them do anything, but generally ghost messengers will not make excessive demands. The way of getting along with each other is a bit like a boss and an employee. It is more business-like, and it is more ghostly.

After getting a general understanding of the overall situation of the bookstore, Song Lan began to make plans, thinking about how to raise cash within a week, so as to make up for the rent, so that the two of them... ah, it's not like one person and one ghost both have to drink the northwest wind go.

After thinking for a long time, Song Lan already had a rough plan in mind, and asked Xie Daonian, who was waiting for flowers, "Boss, can those books be sold?"

Xie Daonian was puzzled: "Bookstores are naturally used to sell books." He didn't understand why Song Lan would ask these extremely simple questions.

"I mean some of the out-of-print books." Knowing that Xie Daonian didn't understand what he meant, Song Lan explained carefully, "I just checked downstairs and found that many of them are out of print. The price is not low, we can sell the book online.”

The Friendship Bookstore has been in business for more than twenty years. Naturally, there are a lot of unsellable stocks. These stocks were originally piled up at the bottom of the press box on the second floor, but they were all removed by Xie Daonian, which made these out-of-print stocks rediscovered. every day.

"Sell it online?" Xie Daonian also understood, "But these are old books, can they be sold at a good price?"

"Of course most of the books won't sell much, but it's not that there are no high-quality books." Song Lan said confidently, "Boss, don't underestimate the enthusiasm of bibliophiles."

Before turning into a ghost, Song Lan had a client who was a very experienced bibliophile who was keen on collecting books from all over the world, including domestic and foreign books from ancient times to the present. Buy it without hesitation.In order to collect these books, he also specially opened a small library museum.

Of course, most bibliophiles will not have the financial resources of the bibliophile, but they are also eager for all kinds of out-of-print books, and various second-hand book websites are places where they often browse.

Although there are no thread-bound ancient books in the inventory of the Friendship Bookstore, there are also many old books published 30 or [-] years ago or even earlier. Many of these books were only printed once and then no longer printed. Even the publishing house is gone. It is no exaggeration to say that there are only a few thousand copies in the whole world.

The prices of these books on the old book website are much higher than the original price, ranging from double digits to three digits. If dozens of copies can be sold, at least there is no need to worry about the rent for the time being.

By the way, Xingzhou City is only a small third-tier city, and housing prices are much cheaper than first-tier cities, not to mention that this is an old city, and the rent is actually not expensive.

In Song Lan's plan, as long as he can find a hundred books that can be sold at a good price in the bookstore's inventory, he can temporarily overcome the current difficulties.

However, this is easy to say, but it is a huge project in practice. Not to mention the time lag between posting the book on the Internet and being photographed by customers, just finding the right book from these books is a difficult task.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to complete a series of procedures such as sorting, putting on shelves, and collecting payment within a week.

Of course, this is under "normal circumstances". Xie Daonian can accept the very abnormal thing that Song Lan, a ghost, appeared in the human world, and naturally he can also accept other things——

Song Lan took off a black-backed and silver-patterned drawstring bag that had been on his left wrist. The bag was no bigger than a palm, a bit like the change bag that old women often carry when they go shopping in the street.To be honest, it doesn't quite match Song Lan's suit and leather shoes. Fortunately, his good looks are good enough, which slightly reduces the sense of disobedience.

After all, good-looking people look good in the streets wearing sacks, don't they?

Song Lan loosened the mouth of the girdle bag, held the corner of the bag upside down, and poured it out, muttering something quickly in his mouth. A few seconds later, several silver lights flashed, and several hideous "Ah Piao" appeared in front of Song Lan. , some with protruding eyeballs and long tongues sticking out, some with disheveled hair like a classic female ghost in a certain island country ghost movie, and all of them have livid complexions that are obviously not normal people.

Rao was as calm as Xie Daonian, but he couldn't help being startled by the scene he saw at this moment, and silently took a step back.

Song Lan frowned in dissatisfaction, coughed heavily, and said seriously: "Remember what I said before? Don't show your real body in the human world, so as not to scare people."

As soon as the words fell, Xie Daonian's eyes flashed, and those "Apiao" disappeared again, but turned into a few "human beings".

"Brother Song." The first person to greet Song Lan was an elegant man dressed like a business elite. He looked about thirty years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth. He smiled innocently, holding a glass in his hand.

"Brother Song, who is this?" A rough voice sounded immediately, and the tall, burly, bohemian man next to the elegant man pointed in the direction of Xie Daonian boldly, almost knocking over a vase.

"Be careful!" Song Lan quickly supported the vase, glared at the strong man, and said, "Daredevil, how many times have I reminded you, pay attention to your surroundings when doing things, don't always be so careless."

The man known as the "Daredevil" scratched his scalp, and said angrily: "Remember, Brother Song!"

"It seems that there are still people who are not present, where are the cowards?" Song Lan nodded the heads of the people present, and found that the number was wrong.

"Song, Brother Song, people, people are here!" Stretching out an arm tremblingly from the crowd, a female voice replied in a voice not much louder than a mosquito buzzing, and there was a cry in the voice, as if someone Like being bullied.

Xie Daonian curiously searched for the source of the sound. It took a long time before he found a slender girl in the crowd who was dressed as a high school student with twin ponytails. She was less than 1.6 meters tall by visual inspection, and with her head lowered, she was standing among a group of tall people. It looks even shorter among the big big men.

"Coward, she just arrived in the human world, and she's not used to the environment here." A fat boy next to the girl mumbled while stuffing a cake into his mouth.

"By the way, Brother Song, she's too hungry to be exhausted, so let me tell Brother Song." A young man with a delicate face and dyed blond hair, but for some reason there is always a bit of a lewd smile in his smile said.

"The drunkard didn't come, she was drunk again." A sunny-looking Zhengtai smiled, showing two cute little canine teeth.

"Forget it, leave them alone." Song Lan clapped her hands, "Everyone line up."

In an instant, these ghosts aimed at the daredevils and lined up one by one, appearing to be very fast and orderly.

Song Lan was obviously satisfied with their performance, nodded, pointed at Xie Daonian, and said, "This is Boss Xie, you can call him Brother Xie."

"Brother Xie!" All the ghosts bowed to Xie Daonian and said in unison.

Xie Daonian's interested eyes swept over each ghost one by one, and finally landed on Song Lan's face, asking: "These are..."

Song Lan's mouth twitched lightly: "They are all my subordinates."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, they are also employees of our bookstore now. Come on, everyone, let me introduce myself to Brother Xie, starting with daredevils."

"Yes!" The man known as the daredevil replied angrily, took a step out of the line, raised his head and raised his chest and said loudly, "Hello brother Xie, I am a daredevil, and my human name is Mao Shi!"

"Linse, miser." The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled politely at Xie Daonian, and took a sip of the white water in the glass.

"Qin Shi, male, likes female." The man with dyed blond hair blinked his peachy eyes, and blew a kiss to Xie Daonian.

"He's a pervert." Song Lan said to Xie Daonian expressionlessly. Obviously, he had long been used to the bad habit of the other party's indiscriminate and indiscriminate discharge. "Next."

"My name is Kaixin, I'm Happy Ghost~" the little Zhengtai who has small canine teeth and always has a bright smile on his face said enthusiastically.

"Greedy Tang Chi, would you like a bite?" The round boy gestured to Xie Daonian holding a pack of family-sized French fries, "Tomato flavor, my favorite."

Xie Daonian was taken aback, and shook his head lightly: "No, no, thank you."

"Xiao Dan, why did you hide behind again? Come on, say hello to Brother Xie, we will be colleagues from now on." Song Lan greeted the girl in school uniform with double ponytails, she was also the only gender present A "person" who is a woman.

Hearing that the girl named Xiao Dan shuddered all over, she kept hiding behind Tang Chi's body.

"... She is a coward and relatively introverted, don't worry about it." Song Lan had no choice but to explain to Xie Daonian.

Xie Daonian nodded, expressing his understanding.

"There are still two in the bag, but they seem to have something to come and can't come." Song Lan shook his black drawstring bag, and at the same time, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and murmured, "I always feel weird, I Did you forget something..."

"Brother Song, I haven't introduced you yet..." A weak voice sounded faintly.

Xie Daonian looked intently, and saw that there was actually an inconspicuous young man between Qin Shi and Lin Se. He had a handsome appearance, but he was a little short, and his body was a little thin. If he was not careful, he would be easily overlooked.

"By the way, I almost forgot about you." Song Lan slapped his head in a sudden realization, and introduced to Xie Daonian, "This is Dao Dao Dao Dao."

"It's so unlucky that people ignore it every day." Dao Dao added sadly.

"Ahem!" Song Lan was a little embarrassed.

"Your subordinates are quite special." Xie Daonian looked at Song Lan with a faint smile in his eyes.

As "parents", they naturally like to hear compliments from outsiders on their "children". Hearing this, Song Lan smiled triumphantly: "That's natural, and it doesn't matter whose family's cub it is."

The shop assistants of all ghosts: "..."

Xie Daonian smiled, "Well, it's from your family."
