I'm quite brave. I grew up in the countryside since I was young, and my grandma used to tell me stories about all kinds of strange things from ancient times till now.

But this time, it scared me to the point where my soul almost left my body!

"Zege, please talk to Taoge and let me go home. I want to go home, wuwu..."

Instinctively, I tightened my grip on Xiao Zhao's soft hand.

"Xiao Zhao, don't do this. You almost scared me to death, bro!"

To be honest, my mind is buzzing right now, completely blank.

Even though I don't believe in ghosts or gods but in Marxism, I'm really freaked out.

Could it be that there's really a ghost haunting?

"Everyone shut the fuck up! The printer short-circuited, and the circuit breaker tripped. I just need to push it back up. Sit down, all of you! The big boss said the project goes live tonight, and everyone gets a bonus of two thousand bucks!"

Hearing this, the previously chaotic colleagues surprisingly quieted down a lot.

Clap-

As the power was restored, the room brightened again. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Xiao Zhao withdrew her hand and shyly glanced at her bag. After struggling and hesitating for a while, she ultimately didn't leave and sat back down.

Money can make ghosts grind, and money can make people forget themselves. Two thousand bucks is Xiao Zhao's salary for the month before she becomes a regular employee.

Everyone, like puppets, resumed their work.

"Zege, look, who's that person? Why is he covered in blood coming back from outside?"

Da Pan pointed to the entrance.

I turned my head and indeed saw a person covered in blood stumbling in.

"Mr. Lu? What happened to you?"

A colleague asked in shock.

Mr. Lu is called Lu Ming.

He's the big shot of our department!

He's my boss's boss!

"It's true, the rules are true! Everyone, don't run, don't run, stay here, don't move! It's true!"

After saying that, Lu Ming collapsed to the ground.
