Chapitre 55: The Account book

Éditeur: TheSloth

“Heaven Shadow Limited Inc?”

Cheng Yun was reading the material that Zhong Luochen passed to him.

Grandpa’s health had been getting better and better. He even started to practice TaiChi now. If his descendants hadn’t suggested that he stay for a further observation for another several days, he would have went back to the capital city already.

But his grandpa didn’t seem to mind staying here.

“I have decided to expand in this area here for several years.” Zhong Luochen said indifferently. “There are several projects for now. Heaven Shadow Entertainment is considered the largest and most powerful company here. Their vice president sought me out recently… Well, you can go get information of that company first.”

Expanding here in recent years? Cheng Yun couldn't help wondering. Without question, the old master would go back to the capital, because the Zhong Family headquarters was there.

The Grandpa’s miraculous recovery must be due to some unknown methods used by the second young master. However, everyone knew the result was due entirely to the second young master’s actions. Simply put, the second young master saved his grandfather’s life.

The discussion these days in the Zhong Family all concerned the second young master. He made such a huge contribution, and should be treated well by the old master.

Unexpectedly, He would stay in this place, far away from the capital! It didn’t make sense!

Cheng Yun did not dare to express the slightest hint of his own ideas. He said instead, “Boss Zhong, I remember Heaven Shadow Entertainment should be the company that signed a contract with the new pop star that became famous, Tu Jiaya.”

Zhong Luochen nodded: "Heaven Shadow Entertainment seems to want to enter into the film industry… movies were always played major part in the cultural industry."

Cheng Yun nodded. He understood the situation of the domestic film industry. Whether domestic or foreign, under the system, any movie without a rating would be checked by SARFT(The State Administration of Radio Film and Television).

But… who cares? To let the Zhong Family accept him, of course he had to use various ways to butter up his master.

Cheng Yun was excited. Setting the results aside, merely going through the procedures would give him large benefits.

...

...

“What is Tai Yinzi doing?”

The boss who just came back to the club frowned.

This was because an additional computer had appeared here and Tai Yinzi was sitting at the computer, typing Intently on the keyboard.

Typing using two fingers.

“You Ye said: “He said he wanted to learn more about the world, so he gave three extra workdays as payment in exchange for this computer.”

It was the servant girl—You Ye, who basically took charge of all the scheduling and management concerning the jobs of the black soul envoys.

It should have been the boss’s duty. However, it might be due to the fact that the previous boss was too passive, hence this work had been handed over to You Ye for hundreds of years.

As the new master...he thought that since she was experienced in that job, she would surely do a better job than him! Therefore he didn’t worry about that.

After all, You Ye had been always loyal...

Of course , under all kinds of reasons, black soul envoys worked for free for the club. Their soul already belonged to the club. So if they wanted something, they would have to exchange those items using good results.

Tai Yinzi’s serving time was 500 years. As he hadn’t completed any task, if he wanted something, he would have to increase his serving time for the club. Of course, the one who would work for such a long period of time was only him.

Luo Qiu simply gazed at him with his mouth opened wide. He then shook his head. “Install a firewall and an ad blocker on the computer. This guy was definitely not someone that would cultivate Taoism with a pure heart even during five hundred years ago.”

‘If you simply want to know more about the outside world… Why are you clicking on so many small ads?’

‘Oh my god, he’s even going to register an account!!’

Under his master's’ aura, Tai Yinzi could merely run upstairs quietly while holding his laptop without uttering a word.

The reason he wasn’t allowed to access the Internet here was because—the way he laughed seemed like a perverted old man. Who would dare to leave him here and ruin the perfectly good atmosphere?

Luo Qiu sat down and said, ”How are the two sisters?”

You Ye said, “Tu Jiaqing’s stuffed her sister into the trunk that night after knocking her out. Then sent her to their old house.”

Not only did she report the process, the loyal servant girl had her own thoughts as well. “She should still be hesitating or still can’t eliminate a relative of her, so doesn't know what to do. At the moment, she intends to avoid letting people discover the true Tu Jiaya.”

Luo Qiu looked at You Ye, asking her curiously, “Do you think Tu Jiaqing will do it eventually ?”

You Ye spoke softly, “It has nothing to do with me. What You Ye concerns is when Tu Jiaqing will deliver on her promise.”

At that moment, the club's bell rang.

The one who entered was… Yang Taizi.

The old Taoist looked more energetic than last time. As they knew each other, Luo Qiu didn’t bother dressing up this time.

The boss seemed more kindly.

But Yang dare not regard this kindness as a goodwill.

“Have you found the transaction fee necessary to purchase the other half of the scripture?”

Yang Taizi revered the club. If he did not have a request, he would never come here for no reason.

The old monk didn't even know that one of his ancestors 500 years ago was typing on a laptop upstairs with a serious look. “No, I just want to confirm, if it is still here.”

Luo Qiu nodded firmly.

Yang Taizi said, “Great! I will come again to buy back the other half of Koan Sutra soon. Please don't sell it to others before that.”

Luo Qiu asked with interest, “Will you get some treasure later ?”

Yang Taizi didn’t answered his question and instead replied, “ I'll be back at most after three days.”

After saying that, Yang Taizi pushed open the door and left hurriedly. From his tensed expression, Luo Qiu thought he seemed like an evil demon that devoured human beings.

At this moment, the club’s boss, who was considered to be a demon in Yang Taizi’s view, was reading the Bible.

After a while, You Ye came up to Luo Qiu holding a thick hardcover, saying in a soft voice ,”Master, the transaction fees for two deals are about to mature. They should be collected.”

Luo Qiu was stunned.

Considering that the club existed for a long period of time, there should be more transactions that were completed rather than the few deals he made. Hence, just like the agreement with Tu Jiaqing, there must exist some deals where the souls of the purchasers would be taken after death.

The past deals would not be terminated merely because the boss had changed.

The club had always been the one giving before collecting.

At this point, Luo Qiu curiously accepted the account book.


Chapitre 56: The Girl in the Stuffed Steamed Bun House

Éditeur: TheSloth

The old town absolutely couldn’t be compared with the prosperous modernized new city region.

If one look around, there were no buildings were higher than 7 floors. The highest one was merely a 6-floor Chinese Residence.

Though it was not as bustling as the new city, most of the residents had been living here their whole life and were loath to move away.

Probably because it felt more human than those bland towering concrete forests.

‘I Miss You’ Stuffed Steamed Bun House.

It was full almost every morning. Most of them were neighbours that were familiar with the boss. In the shop, they were customer and boss; however, in daily life, they were old friends.

“Waitress! One pot of tea please!”

An old man shouted in a strong voice.

In the dining area, a waitress answered him while bending over to clean up the table. Then she hastily went to prepare the tea for him.

“Elder Chen, where did you find this little girl? She’s pretty hardworking! And also has such gorgeous looks! It’s rare for young girls with good looks nowadays willingly to do these laborious tasks!”

Isn’t it?

She was around 20 years old, looking beautiful and energetic just like a lotus flower emerging from the water. Her smile automatically made people feel at ease.

It was a hot morning. However, one could feel cool and refreshing while sitting in this old house even though it had no air-conditioning and only opened their door.

That little girl shuttled between tables. Her figure light and graceful like a butterfly.

“If I were 30 years younger, I would chase after her! Oh, no… 40 years!”

“So would I!”

“Hahahaha!! You old bastards!” An old woman at the corner swore at them immediately, “Just look at you old coots! My son, Jiaming, has a higher chance!”

“This fat woman is recommending her son again!”

“So what?!”

The customers started half-seriously half-jokingly argument. Nevertheless, the boss—Elder Chen merely smiled, continue kneading the dough.

His wife took out a handkerchief, wiping the sweat on Elder Chen’s forehead. At this moment, Elder Chen smiled. The restaurant was not big though, but it had been going on for dozens of years, and his wife’s actions of wiping his sweat had also went on for dozens of years.

“Dance(the butterfly monster, mentioned in former chapters), food for the first table is ready.” Elder Chen called out to the little girl who was pouring tea.

“Got it.”

The little girl replied, hurrying over to send the packed food to the customer.

At this time, a new customer came to the house.

A fair looking youngster was shocked when he saw the girl. The girl was also stunned, then gave him a faint smile. “We meet again.”

“Yeah, I’m surprised.” Luo Qiu nodded.

He had never thought he would see the hatched butterfly monster again; furthermore, working in this bun house. The little butterfly monster wore simple garb, looking like a girl from the mountain areas.

Nevertheless, this didn’t cover her beauty---When Boss Luo saw her again, the only thing he thought was that the transformation she had underwent after breaking through her cocoon and being reborn was rather successful.

“You… came to visit me?” Dance looked at Luo Qiu curiously.

They had bumped into each other coincidently, so the butterfly thought Luo Qiu came for seeing her specially---Besides, the club was a mysterious place, thus it was not difficult to uncover her location.

Luo Qiu shook his head. “I can be said to be a regular customer of this shop.”

Dance titled her head with puzzle.

The boss called out at this point, “Luo Qiu! Long time no see. You come so far just for the buns eh?”

Luo Qiu nodded to the boss and his wife, then looked at the butterfly monster. “I used to live around here during my childhood.”

“Take a seat.”

Dance appeared to let out a sigh of relief before leading Luo Qiu to his seat. Elder Chen said, “Luo Qiu, I’ll start making the buns for you right away. The usual, right?”

“Sure.” Luo Qiu answered him.

He sat at a corner, as though he was in his own world. Then took out a thick book from his backpack to read.

When the buns were served to him, Luo Qiu ate one while it was still hot. Afterwards, he continued reading the book. Eating the three buns took him half an hour.

The butterfly monster thought he would leave as soon as he finished eating; however, he was only sitting there like an old man, having tea while reading alone.

“He was always like that. He will leave when he wants. It’s alright.” Elder Chen explained it to Dance, “I watched him grow up. He’s a rather quiet person.”

“Did you really see him grow up?” Dance asked in curiosity.

The club she knew… was well-known among the monsters circle.

The confused Dance did her work silently, but occasionally glance at Luo Qiu, who was reading a book quietly.

After a while, almost all the customers had left. It was about 10:30 in the morning. Elder Chen called out, “Dance, clean everything up. We are going to close the shop!”

“Yes, but…” Dance looked at Luo Qiu that hadn’t left with a little bit of hesitation.

Elder Chen smiled, asking Dance to carry on the work. He then took a small teapot and sat in front of Luo Qiu.

“Uncle, why is there one more worker in the shop?” Luo Qiu asked.

Elder Chen laughed. “You mean Dance? She’s a poor thing. When I was cleaning up one morning, my wife saw she was picking some food to eat at the back door in some ratty clothes. She didn’t know much. My wife asked her where her families were but she said she had no relatives and couldn’t remember previous things.”

Elder Chen drank a mouthful of tea, “I saw she had nothing on her; furthermore, she was so pure and innocent, plus she had lost her memory. I was afraid that she might have be kidnapped from the mountain, so we just take her in for now. she’s hardworking and doesn’t want to live for free, thus she comes down to help me out.”

“But coincidently, her surname is Luo as well.” Elder Chen wagged his head, “Luo Dance, Luo Dance, this name sounds special as I say it. A girl from mountains wouldn’t have such a graceful name, so she might be some daughter from a wealthy and influential family.”

When he heard the butterfly monster had used ‘Luo’ as her family name, Luo Qiu looked towards her. She was wiping the windows; however he found she had been peeping at them all the while. When she made eye contact with Luo Qiu at that moment, she hurriedly started wiping the window on the other side. It was obvious she’d heard their conversation.

This monster’s hearing… seem to be really good.

“Well by the way, Luo Qiu, could you help Dance out?” Elder Chen laughed. “You young people are more clever than us old guys.”

Luo Qiu considered for a while before saying suddenly, “Uncle, can we speak privately?”

Elder Chen gaped. Then he saw Luo Qiu open the thick book. Among the pages, he saw a pitch-black card between them.

His expression had a slight change, gazing at his old neighbour in disbelief.

His lips trembled faintly. “You…”

Luo Qiu said in a low voice, “Uncle, close the door.”
