Chapter 209 There is also a ghost
The companies on the 18th floor are all technology companies. Lin Xiao thought that since everyone was working on the same floor, they were all neighbors. After the company was officially launched, he visited each company one by one with small gifts to express his friendship and sincerity.
After visiting the 1810 office, he met the property cleaning lady in the corridor and gave her a small gift.
When the aunt saw that the young man was tall, handsome, energetic, polite, and even gave her something, she laughed with joy.
"Thank you, young man!"
"Which office do you work in? Auntie, go mop the floor in front of your door again!"
Lin Xiao was amused by the unpretentious auntie: "Auntie, it's just a small gift. You don't need to mop the floor again."
"Our company just moved to room 1808."
The aunt's eyes followed Lin Xiao's fingertips and her expression instantly became very strange.
Seeing that his aunt remained silent, Lin Xiao turned around in confusion.
The cleaning lady finally woke up from her dream and stammered:
"Oh...oh, that's the one...I...get it."
Lin Xiao felt strange, but didn't ask any more questions.
He was confused and had just returned to the office when he was hugged by his employee Xiao Zhang.
"Boss Lin, Boss Lin! I feel like something's wrong with me!"
This Xiao Zhang is a post-00s kid who usually keeps to himself. Why did he suddenly hug me today?
Lin Xiao controlled his emotions and gently pushed the other person away from his arms.
"what happened to you?"
"I was just typing away until my head was a mess. I was half asleep when a breath of cold air blew past my ears. I actually felt quite comfortable, staring off to the side." Xiao Zhang, a post-00s kid, glared. "Guess what I saw?"
Lin Xiao was helpless at the employee's sudden shock, but he still patiently asked:
"What did you see?"
"I saw a beautiful sister smiling at me gently, hehe..."
Lin Xiao saw that the principal's drool was almost on the ground, and quickly reminded him:
"Are you dreaming?"
It's still a sexy dream.
When Xiao Zhang heard Lin Xiao's words, his face immediately drooped.
"How can you say it's a dream... You are the boss of a big company, how could you..." Xiao Zhang couldn't find the words to refute the other party.
"Alright, alright. You must have told everyone in the company, so get back to work!"
"Oh, got it."
Xiao Zhang returned to his workstation with his neck locked, but the deafening sound of his footsteps betrayed him.
Lin Xiao shook his head in amusement. You know what, it’s quite cute.
When he got home from get off work in the evening, Lin Xiao told Ruyi about this incident as a joke.
Ruyi didn't laugh after hearing this, but her expression became very serious.
"Could what he said be true?"
"Do you think the woman he saw and the woman I saw are the same person?"
Lin Xiao was so shocked that his chopsticks dropped. His girlfriend really had a rich imagination.
"No... no... you're taking it seriously. Xiao Zhang is just a freshly graduated kid who's too tired from work and wants to chat with other people."
When Ruyi heard this, she felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing.
Moreover, she saw the woman in office 1808, while Lin Xiao and his colleagues’ office was in 1807.
Maybe, it was really a joke that Xiao Zhang came up with to slack off at work.
When he went to work the next day, Xiao Zhang was still thinking about the gentle young lady from the previous day.
After Lin Xiao finished his lunch, he returned to the office and was hugged by Xiao Zhang again. He had a cheerful face in the morning, but now he looked miserable.
"Boss Lin, Boss Lin! There's a ghost in our office! Woohoo, I'm scared to death..."
This time, Lin Xiao tried very hard but failed to pull Xiao Zhang out of his arms, so he had to just throw up his hands.
"What did you see again?"
When Xiao Zhang heard that Lin Xiao was willing to listen to him, he immediately let go of him and pulled him to sit down in the conference room.
"Boss Lin, I told you that you all went to eat at noon. I had breakfast too late this morning, and stayed up late playing games last night. I told you that the person who played games yesterday was really annoying..."
"stop!"
Xiao Zhang was suddenly interrupted and his eyes widened.
"Let's get to the point."
"Oh." Xiao Zhang nodded obediently. "I was so sleepy that I wanted to lie down and take a nap. When I lay down, the computer screen on the vacant workstation across from me suddenly lit up. At first I thought I was seeing things."
"When I stood up from my seat, the chair in front of my workstation turned around and faced me..."
"And the four legs of the chair were swaying from side to side. It looked like... like someone was sitting on it."
"I screamed out at that time, but...but do you know, Mr. Lin?"
"Just after I screamed, I heard a silver bell-like laughter, which was full of ridicule."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but curl his lips, but after being glared at by Xiao Zhang, he regained his composure.
"Boss Lin, they all said I was dreaming. As the boss of a company, you definitely wouldn't think the same way as them, right?"
Lin Xiao's pupils dilated slightly and his mouth opened slightly.
"Boss Lin, please say something!"
Xiao Zhang slapped Lin Xiao, but the other party still did not respond. He turned his head and looked in the direction the other party was looking.
At the other end of the conference room, the fourth chair behind Xiao Zhang was swaying from side to side out of thin air, as if... as if someone was sitting on it.
Xiao Zhang was so scared that he fell off the chair and crawled out the door.
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
Lin Xiao's mind went blank. When he regained consciousness, the chair had returned to its original state and Xiao Zhang had already escaped without a trace.
The next day, Xiao Zhang completed the resignation procedures.
Lin Xiao didn't want to tell Ruyi about this at first, but his girlfriend was so attentive that she noticed his abnormality as soon as they met at home.
"Go find the bosses tomorrow and tell them about this."
Lin Xiao followed Ruyi's instructions and discussed the Xiao Zhang incident with all the bosses face to face.
The bosses, both big and small, immediately went to the landlord to discuss the termination of the lease, but the landlord took out the contract and said that the lease period had not yet been completed for a full year. If Lin Xiao and his company terminated the lease now, not only would the deposit not be refunded, but even the six months' rent they had paid would not be refunded a penny.
The big boss hung up the phone with the landlord and looked at the small boss and Lin Xiao with a frown.
"Fortunately, no one was injured, they were just scared away."
"We're in the early stages of starting a business and are already short on funds. Why don't we put the change of venue on hold?"
After the big boss finished speaking, the small boss nodded.
The boss's phone call just now was played on external audio, and both the boss and Lin Xiao heard it.
Lin Xiao understood that the boss was also forced by the situation, and no one would be willing to work in a haunted house.
"Okay, from now on I'll try to get the employees to act as a group and walk together after get off work."
