Chapter 66: Tenant
Jiang Yingyue followed Tan Xuan into the office where she had a seat just now.
"I haven't even quit my job yet, why am I returning to this office?" Jiang Yingyue asked Tan Xuan in confusion.
"This is where you worked, don't you need to clean it up?"
Having said that, Tan Xuan turned around and closed the office door, not giving the fat-faced guys outside a chance to peek into the room.
Jiang Yingyue returned to her seat, looked through the things, picked them up and put them down again. "I don't have much to pack, just some small things. Now that everyone has left, these things are no longer needed."
"Haha..." Tan Xuan laughed, "You are so free and easy, you just leave when you say so. Well, you don't have anything to pack, so I'll pack mine."
"Pack your things? What do you have here?" Jiang Yingyue didn't understand what Tan Xuan said.
Tan Xuan did not explain, but walked directly to the door, stretched out his right hand, clasped his thumb around his ring finger, and stroked his forehead, then stretched his hand in front of the door, and flicked his ring finger on the door. A glimmering flower suddenly appeared on the door, and then the light of the flower turned into scattered light points like stars, which fell off the door one after another, and turned invisible before falling to the ground.
"What...what is this?" Jiang Yingyue was stunned by the strange sight in front of her. After a moment's pause, she asked blankly.
"Nothing, just a little trick." Tan Xuan said casually.
"A trick? How could this be a trick?" Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan with admiration, her eyes full of curiosity, and she obviously did not approve of Tan Xuan's insincere response.
Tan Xuan smiled and shook her head. Jiang Yingyue was different from Su Cheng and Xiao Di. Although she wanted to know, she was still very reserved.
"I was afraid that your colleague's ghost would come back to hang around when you were at work, so I put up a barrier on the door. Now that you've resigned , it's useless. I don't know him, so there's no need to give them an advantage. So I removed it. Whether there are ghosts here in the future or not has nothing to do with you. They don't believe in ghosts, especially your boss. Let them get slapped in the face."
"Oh, so that's it..." Although Tan Xuan's explanation was simple, Jiang Yingyue still felt that what Tan Xuan did must not be a simple thing. Then, she heard the hidden meaning of Tan Xuan's words and asked in panic: "You said Sister Wang will come back? And Mr. Zhang and the others will meet her too?"
Tan Xuan chuckled, "Yes, I can't say whether others can encounter it, but your leader will definitely encounter it. Even if he doesn't meet your sister Wang, he will meet other ghosts. Doesn't he not believe in ghosts in the world? Today he will see enough, and it depends on whether he is upright and not afraid of his own shadow."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yingyue became even more confused.
Tan Xuan did not give a direct answer , but reminded: "Aren't you going to the Human Resources Department? Go quickly, otherwise if we stay here for too long, Mr. Zhang here will send someone to chase us away, which will be embarrassing."
Jiang Yingyue shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I won't go. I don't think I'll be met with a good face if I go. Anyway, my file and work relationship haven't been transferred, and I don't get much salary. Instead of getting angry, I might as well just leave freely."
Tan Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Good fellow, I didn't expect you to be so generous, let's go."
The two of them took their things and left. Jiang Yingyue took away her own cup of water on the table and left everything else behind. She left cleanly and freely.
Sitting back in the car, Jiang Yingyue's expression changed instantly. She became sad and frustrated, and she almost burst into tears.
Tan Xuan was a little confused. He didn't expect that this girl was pretending to be strong upstairs just now, but now that there was no one else around, her true colors were revealed all of a sudden .
"If you are not willing to lose this job, why do you have to leave? If all else fails, you can go up and say a few soft words to your leader. Maybe there will be a chance of recovery." Tan Xuan couldn't help but say. He didn't understand Jiang Yingyue's contradictory actions. He didn't know whether he should comfort her or do something else. He could only start the car and drive out of the parking lot first.
Jiang Yingyue shook her head. "That's impossible. I won't ask for help from a guy who appears friendly but is actually a nasty person. I'm not reluctant to quit this job. It's just that this is my first job since I entered society. I didn't expect to quit before I got a permanent job. I feel a little uncomfortable."
"What's wrong? Did that guy do something inappropriate to you just now?" Tan Xuan didn't understand why Jiang Yingyue was feeling uncomfortable, but he heard something else.
"Yeah." Jiang Yingyue nodded, and an angry look appeared on her face again. "That's why I resigned. I feel disgusted working under that kind of person."
"So that's how it is. Then resigning is indeed the right choice." After understanding the general reason, Tan Xuan felt relieved. Seeing that Jiang Yingyue was still angry, he smiled and comforted her: "You don't need to be angry with that kind of person. It will only make you feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, that guy will get his comeuppance today. If I had known he was that kind of person, I should have completely disrupted his aura."
"What?" Jiang Yingyue looked at Tan Xuan in confusion. She could understand the first half of Tan Xuan's sentence, but the second half was completely incomprehensible to her.
Tan Xuan laughed for a while, then explained: "Mr. Zhang's luck will be worse in the next two days. He will easily see dirty things, which are what everyone calls ghosts. If he has no bad conscience, it's better. If he has done something bad, it's hard to say, hehe..."
"What's going on?" Jiang Yingyue asked with great interest. She had asked Tan Xuan this question just now upstairs, but Tan Xuan didn't answer her properly when she asked. Now that there were only the two of them in the car, her curiosity was even stronger.
"Tell me about it right now."
"Nothing. I just don't like that guy. He keeps saying that we are feudal and superstitious. Since he doesn't believe in ghosts, I will do something to him and let him see something that he doesn't expect. This will stop him from being so shameless."
"You did something to him?" Jiang Yingyue was shocked again, and then asked Tan Xuan nervously, "If something happens to him, will he know it was you? Mr. Zhang has some background. If he knows it was you who did it, he will never forgive you."
Seeing Jiang Yingyue's concern, Tan Xuan felt warm in his heart again, and explained to Jiang Yingyue with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I didn't hit him or curse him, how could he think of me when he had something wrong. He was so happy to see something that science couldn't explain, how could he blame me."
"Is it true that he won't encounter the same situation as I did last night? If he wants to do the same as last night, we will be harming others."
Tan Xuan didn't expect Jiang Yingyue to be so kind-hearted. She was obviously full of resentment towards Mr. Zhang, but she was also afraid that something might happen to him. She shook her head and said, "No, I just let him see a ghost to scare him. It's different from your situation last night. Not all ghosts are out to kill people. Of course, if that guy did something harmful and a ghost wanted to take revenge on him, that would be another matter. Without my intervention, he would still get into trouble. It has nothing to do with us."
"Oh, that's good." Jiang Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a small punishment for that annoying guy. There was no big danger. She was still happy to see it.
Jiang Yingyue was in a good mood when she suddenly realized that she had encountered a bigger problem. She had lost her job, no dormitory, no source of income, and she didn't even have a place to live. Jiang Yingyue's expression became worried again.
Tan Xuan noticed Jiang Yingyue's strangeness and guessed the reason for her strange expression. He took the initiative to say, "Are you worried about your food and accommodation? If so, you don't have to worry about it. You can just stay at my place."
"How can that be possible? You've helped me so much. I would feel bad if I continued living with you." Jiang Yingyue refused without even thinking.
"Why should I feel bad about that? The house is ready anyway."
"That won't work."
"Your top priority right now is to find a suitable job. You don't have any relatives to stay with in Jiangzhou, so you can stay with me first. It won't be too late to move out once you find a suitable job."
"No, I don't know how long it will take me to find a job. It's not appropriate to live in your house for a long time. I'd better rent a house first."
"Then do you have money to rent a house?" Tan Xuan asked the most practical question.
"Uh..." Jiang Yingyue was stunned by the question. She had just started working, but then she lost her job. Without any income, how could she have money to pay the rent?
"I can ask my family for it." Jiang Yingyue said.
"So now you're not afraid that your sister Wang and Mr. Li will come looking for you again?" Tan Xuan changed the direction and continued to ask.
"Uh... this..."
"Just stay at my place..."
“…”
The two argued about this issue for a long time, and finally Jiang Yingyue succumbed to reality. When they were about to return to Tan Xuan's neighborhood, they reached a consensus. Jiang Yingyue lived in Tan Xuan's house first, but not for free. Instead, she rented the master bedroom of Tan Xuan's house and paid the rent according to the market price. Of course, Jiang Yingyue also knew her current situation. Safety was one aspect, and another aspect was that she had no income now, and it was unrealistic to think of living somewhere else. At least Tan Xuan promised her that he could make up the rent when she made money.
Everyone has self-esteem, but the bottom line is different. Jiang Yingyue would rather rent the master bedroom on credit than accept Tan Xuan's charity and live here for free. Although both of them have the idea of getting something for nothing, the meaning is different.
When she returned to Tan Xuan's house again, Jiang Yingyue was no longer as shy as before. She pulled her suitcase and went into the room where she had stayed for two nights. She took out her toiletries and clothes and laid them out. After all, her status was different now. She was a guest before, but now she was a tenant. Although she had not paid the rent yet, at least she had the right to live there.
The master bedroom seemed to be specially prepared for Jiang Yingyue. Tan Xuan had never lived there, nor had he used anything in the master bedroom. But it was convenient for Jiang Yingyue, who could just move in with her luggage.
