Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 164 - 137: Is This Five Thousand Joss Paper?
Ever since Mu Yunchu helped Jiang Ci resolve the issue with his roommate, he occasionally sent her messages to greet her.
Just when his text came through, Mu Yunchu had been busy with a livestream the previous day and hadn’t had time to reply. As she was about to respond, she noticed his name trending on the hot search.
He made it to the semifinals, and at worst, he could take fourth place, with a real chance of hitting the top three.
So, Mu Yunchu paused for a moment with her phone before sending him a congratulatory text.
She had earlier calculated his birth chart and looked at Jiang Ci’s fortune, so the current developments were no surprise to her.
Moreover, he would only continue to improve in the future.
She didn’t receive a reply from Jiang Ci after a while, but Mu Yunchu wasn’t too concerned, figuring he was probably busy, so she put her phone away.
At that moment, the wind chime at her shop door rang, and Mu Yunchu’s eyes lit up.
Ye Zhixia had arrived.
She had been waiting for quite some time.
Initially, Ye Zhixia struggled with indecision for a long time. Even standing at Mu Yunchu’s shop door, he felt anxious inside.
Especially when he vaguely saw the statues inside through the open door, he felt this might all be a trap set by Mu Yunchu.
But perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
What if...
People often have this gambler’s mentality, and it doesn’t disappear even after they die and become ghosts.
Ready for the possibility of vanishing into dust, he took a deep breath and stepped inside.
The result was the sudden sound of the wind chime above startling him into a jump.
He directly covered his head and shrank into the corner, his ghostly shadow trembling.
When Mu Yunchu and Li Shang walked in, this was the scene they saw.
The former felt a little helpless.
The latter straightforwardly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha..."
"You seemed pretty gutsy in the livestream, so why are you like this now..."
...
Listening to this somewhat unfamiliar voice, Ye Zhixia hesitated for a long while before curiously turning back.
The first person he saw was Mu Yunchu.
This let his heart relax a little.
Then his gaze shifted, and seeing Li Shang by her side, feeling the presence of a fellow kindred spirit, he stopped short.
Somewhat unable to confirm.
"Are you also a ghost?"
In his view, Mu Yunchu should be considered the Daoist type.
Which was why he had been reluctant to trust her invitation to work.
But when he arrived, he found that this place housed other ghosts.
And...
Ye Zhixia carefully looked Li Shang up and down several times.
This female ghost’s powers were much stronger than his.
Li Shang acknowledged his earlier question very frankly.
"Yes."
Then, seeing his expression, she was a bit puzzled, "Why are you so surprised?"
It’s not like he’d never seen a ghost.
Being stared at by both of them, Ye Zhixia inexplicably grew nervous again.
"No, nothing."
But this nervousness was quite different from the earlier fear that he’d vanish into dust.
At least seeing Li Shang made him realize that Mu Yunchu probably wasn’t deceiving him.
Although Ye Zhixia was already a ghost, Mu Yunchu’s first time hiring a ghost prompted her to check online, and they ran through a simple interview process.
Mu Yunchu said, "Actually, there isn’t much you need to do. Mainly, it’s for those fans far from my shop to buy things more conveniently by listing the items on the online store."
This was extremely easy for Ye Zhixia.
"As for the salary..." Mu Yunchu thought carefully.
Ye Zhixia and Li Shang’s situations weren’t quite the same.
The latter had willingly decided to follow her.
But the former had been recruited as an applicant.
So the salary and benefits needed some consideration.
"I can give you five thousand each month."
Before he could respond, she added, "If the online sales are particularly high, I will give you a share."
This salary might only be seen as average in Qinghe City.
But the job content was incredibly leisurely.
So Ye Zhixia was still a bit bewildered.
Mu Yunchu: "You can live in the shop; there are a few empty rooms in the house at the back for you to choose from."
Since Zhu Hong left, the large house only had two residents again.
Seeing it wasn’t a scam, Ye Zhixia felt there was no reason to refuse. He immediately nodded in agreement.
After Mu Yunchu went inside to get something, he couldn’t help but ask Li Shang sitting leisurely beside him.
"Do you get a salary here too...?"
"Is the five thousand referring to joss paper?"
"Also, where should we ghosts go to buy things if we want to?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He thought ghosts had a world similar to humans and needed money to buy things.
He just didn’t know how much joss paper could buy.
After all, when he burned paper for his deceased parents, a single bill would easily start at ten billion or hundred billion.
But surprisingly, after he asked, Li Shang snorted with laughter.
"What are you thinking?"
"This money is, of course, given to you in RMB."
RMB?
Ye Zhixia’s expression turned bizarre.
Giving him RMB was of no use to him.
But soon, Li Shang explained that Mu Yunchu could let him have a physical body and walk in the sunlight like a normal person.
"However..." Li Shang’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, "I advise you not to have too much contact with humans, especially not with people you once knew."
"After all, you’re already dead."
Ye Zhixia’s heart skipped a beat.
Just now, he had indeed thought of Tian Peng based on what Li Shang said.
But it was only for a fraction of a second.
And even that was detected by the other.
"If you cause any trouble in the human world, no matter how useful you are, Little Chuchu won’t hesitate to deal with you."
"At that point, it might not be as simple as reincarnating into a mosquito."
Faced with Li Shang’s blatant threat, Ye Zhixia swallowed hard.
The next moment, however, Li Shang changed her expression and smiled playfully.
"But don’t worry, as long as you behave and don’t cause trouble, Yun Chu treats us very well."
"With your salary, you can also buy all the things you like from the human world."
She stretched out her hand, gesturing towards Ye Zhixia:
"Like a decent new outfit."
Actually, even without the so-called salary, Mu Yunchu’s conditions would be tempting enough for Ye Zhixia.
With this, how is it any different from still being alive in this world?
At this point, Mu Yunchu brought out her newly purchased computer.
"I’m not sure if the configuration is sufficient."
She handed it to Ye Zhixia.
The latter eagerly began to fiddle with it.
The afternoon sun warmed everyone, and even with the freshly brewed tea by Li Shang, it couldn’t fully dispel the drowsiness.
Just as a second pot of tea was being poured, Ye Zhixia had already formed the beginnings of the online store.
