From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 924
Chapter 924 Tian Bengya
When Chen Guangda returned to the funeral company, Bai Muran and the others had already left. The female manager in charge of recruitment directly brought him to Big Fatty’s boss’ office. The Big Fatty’s office was very luxuriously furnished with antiques everywhere, and he was actually sitting in a golden dragon chair.
“My name is Tian Dagui. You can call me President Tian or Brother Tian. However, I don’t like nonsense. You can talk about what you think of us first …”
The fat man lazily leaned against the dragon chair. He was dressed in a black Tang suit that was shiny and oily. He looked like a dog traitor leading the way for the Japanese. However, this fellow had half of his front tooth missing. He always felt like he had a leak when he spoke. Chen Guangda immediately gave him the nickname Broken Tooth Tian in his heart.
“Then I’ll tell you the truth. You’re not far from collapse …”
Chen Guangda sat directly opposite Broken Tooth Tian. The female manager who was just about to leave immediately stopped. She turned around and looked at him in disbelief. She didn’t expect this rookie to be so bold. However, Broken Tooth Tian waved his hand at her and said, “You go out first. I’ll call you when there’s something else!”
“Alright!”
The female manager hurriedly wiggled her butt and closed the door, but Broken Tooth Tian tossed a cigarette over and expressionlessly folded her arms. Chen Guangda lit up the cigarette and said, “You lack a master here. To put it bluntly, there is no one who can calm down the situation. Doing ordinary small tasks is no problem, but you won’t be able to earn a lot of money!”
“It’s not that I don’t have it. It’s that I can’t afford to pay people’s wages …”
“To tell you the truth, the funeral industry in Liangzhou City is in a bad state. It’s not because there are fewer people dying, but because everyone here believes in Master Withered Ivy. No matter how much they die, they like to cross over to him. They are a bunch of stinking Taoists who are going to kill us all!” Broken Tooth Tian slapped his desk heavily and said bitterly.
“I expected that you would not be able to defeat him with his reputation, but it’s different when I’m here …”
Chen Guangda smiled and spat out a mouthful of smoke. Broken Tooth Tian’s eyes immediately lit up fiercely. Chen Guangda then said, “Didn’t they know how to chase away corpses? Who wouldn’t know how to pretend to be a ghost? However, we don’t have to compete with them to chase away corpses. Compared to some of them, for example, Xunlong Dianxue!”
“Dragon Seeking Dianxue? This is someone else’s skill. Aren’t you courting death by playing feng shui with a Taoist priest?”
Broken Tooth Tian looked at him with a stunned expression. However, Chen Guangda sneered and said, “What is Dragon Seeking Dianxue? It’s just a trick to deceive oneself and others. I thought that finding a geomantic treasure land would benefit my descendants. If that was the case, Qing would not die. In fact, the so-called Dragon Seeking Dianxue from ancient times to modern times is just a means of’making a bridge ‘.”
“What do you mean? Hurry up and tell me …”
Broken Tooth Tian roared as he lay on his desk. This fellow seemed to be a layman who was halfway home. He didn’t know much about the profession, but Chen Guangda waved his hand and said, “Building bridges! It’s just a game! But I’ll ask President Tian first, do you know what is the most profitable project in our profession?”
“Uh ~ It should be a matter of practice. After a magical event, the profits will be at a disadvantage …”
Broken Tooth Tian looked at Chen Guangda with uncertainty. Chen Guangda immediately ridiculed, “My President Tian! You dare to open a coffin shop without even knowing what the real business is. Your ancestor has blessed you to be able to hold on until now. You must have lost quite a bit of money already, right?”
“Aiyo ~ Don’t mention it …”
Broken Tooth Tian heavily slapped his thigh and wailed, “Everyone said that the funeral business is especially expensive, but when it comes to me, I almost lost my wife’s money. I won’t hide it from you. I came from Guangdong to pour coal business, but in the end, I poured coal and poured myself in. Now that my hometown can’t return, I’m so poor that I have to go beg for food!”
“Then let me be frank. The most profitable place in our business is the cemetery. It’s fine if you don’t open a feng shui treasure land for two years …”
Chen Guangda smiled and flicked the ashes, but Broken Tooth Tian said in surprise, “But the city is full of cemeteries now. You have to go in to buy a cemetery and shake the number. It’s not up to you to choose which one. Other than the more expensive and luxurious cemetery, there’s no such thing as a geomantic omen!”
‘”No, we’re just selling a scarcity. Who would be willing to live in a cemetery with the rich? Who wouldn’t want their ancestors to live comfortably and bless themselves …”
Chen Guang laughed and pointed at him, then said, “What about you? Find a gentleman who knows a little bit about feng shui. Go outside the city and pick some good land. Decorate the surroundings according to the rules of feng shui. Find a bunch of strong guys to wear suits as bodyguards, and then wait for the guests to see the feng shui treasure land. As for the guests, I will help you handle it!”
“This … this is enough …”
Broken Tooth Tian looked at him in astonishment, but Chen Guangda said, “I need a dragon granny, a blind man, and a few old monks. Just send two more men to run errands for me. I’ll guarantee you a lucky opening within a month, and the profit for a day will exceed yours by a year!”
“Alright! As long as this business is completed, the profits will be 50-50% between us …”
Broken Tooth Tian slammed the table excitedly. However, Chen Guangda shook his head and said, “My family is also in business. I understand the difficulty of being your boss, so it’s fine for us to earn thirty to seventy cents. Right! What is that little woman surnamed Bai doing here? Did any of her friends die?”
“It’s her staff. Last week, three of them were set on fire and burned to death. The police sent them back for burial after the autopsy …”
Broken Tooth Tian waved his hand and said, “Because the murderer hasn’t been caught yet, she must have paid for it. However, she seems to be running out of money recently, so she chose our discount package. Otherwise, based on her friendship with Grandmaster Withered Ivy, it would definitely be sent to the old Taoist priest!”
“Alright! Let’s get things done before it’s too late. We have to earn money as soon as possible …”
Chen Guangda extinguished the cigarette butt and directly stood up. Broken Tooth Tian was so excited that he rubbed his hands repeatedly and ran out to make arrangements. He even specially arranged for the female manager to give him a hand. After another discussion, the few of them quickly left the door and began to divide the work.
…
Chen Guangda was busy until dusk. The funeral business was already familiar to him. He could even point out the door with his eyes closed. When he swayed back to the girls’ dormitory, it was already filled with the fragrance of food. The girls living here were mostly working class, and almost all of them bought vegetables to cook for themselves.
“What’s the situation …”
As soon as Chen Guangda walked up to the third floor, he was stunned. There were actually a lot of girls gathered in the corridor. They were talking about something. When he pushed aside the crowd and looked inside, the corridor was actually painted with red paint. It was written with words like “owe money” or “kill your entire family”.
“Alright, alright! What’s there to see? Everyone, hurry back and eat …”
Seeing Chen Guangda arrive, the little miser hurriedly dispersed the crowd. Only then did Chen Guangda realize that even their dormitory had been smashed to pieces. Wang Shan was crouching beside the bed comforting Tan Lisha who was crying. The little miser sighed and said, “Lisa borrowed money from the usury outside. She couldn’t pay back the money, so she came looking for her. She also said that if she didn’t give her money tomorrow, she would take her to be a miss.”
“What kind of usury is she borrowing?”
Chen Guangda walked over in confusion. ‘”Lisa said she was tricked by someone else. One of her workmates borrowed a loan shark to make her a guarantor, but after she borrowed the money, she ran away. Now all the money has fallen on Lisa, and Lisa has rolled up to 160,000 yuan!” Wang Shan stood up and said.
“Those people are too black-hearted. Lisa was only a day late to pay back her money, and they doubled their debts. I think they’re trying to force her to sell her body …”
The little miser clenched her fists angrily. Tan Lisha was about to die from crying, but Wang Shan immediately looked at Chen Guangda pleading for help. Obviously, she wanted him to think of a way. Chen Guangda could only say, “Loan sharks are a bunch of people who want money and don’t want to die. Other than paying it back quickly, the trouble will get bigger and bigger!”
“Brother Wen! Please lend me some more money. I’ve already given them all the money. I really don’t have any more money …”
Tan Lisha suddenly knelt on the ground with a “putong” sound. Tears flowed down her face as she grabbed Chen Guangda’s arm. Who knew that before Chen Guangda could speak, Bai Muran suddenly ran in and said, “Get up! Can you have some backbone and kneel down to a man for only a hundred thousand yuan? Are you crazy?”
“Ha ~ Do you think we’re all like you? We’re all big entrepreneurs …”
Jiang Shilin suddenly walked in with a strange expression, but Bai Muran didn’t waste words with her. She opened her purse and wanted to pay Tan Lisha. However, when she looked at the change in her purse, she was suddenly stunned. “Well … Jiang Xiaoshi, can you give me the money first? I don’t have so much cash on me!”
“I’m not giving it. I don’t know what happened to her money. If she gives it to me, it’s just meat buns and dogs …”
Jiang Shilin rolled her eyes with her cigarette in her mouth. She was so angry that she almost went up to fight her again. However, Chen Guangda took out money from his bag and said, “Alright! Get up quickly. I’ll help you cover the money first. When you have money, I’ll pay you back. I won’t charge you any interest.”
“Thank you, Brother Wen! Thank you …”
Tan Lisha immediately stood up and hurriedly ran downstairs with the money. She was afraid that those people would double their debts if they went late. Chen Guangda looked at the messy room and shook his head. “You girls have a lot of troubles. Let’s go! Brother, please go to the restaurant!”
“Sister Mu Mu! Let’s go together …”
The little miser immediately grabbed Bai Muran in surprise. Unexpectedly, Bai Muran glanced at Chen Guangda and shook her head as she walked towards the opposite house. The little miser could only drag Wang Shan into the house to change her clothes with disappointment. However, Jiang Shilin sneered, “Don’t expect your money back. Wait for Tan Lisha to come back to pay for it.”
“She’s not that kind of person, is she?”
Chen Guangda looked at her in astonishment, but Jiang Shilin sighed and said, “She definitely wasn’t that kind of person in the past, but now who can explain it clearly? You can flip through her bag and you’ll know that the money wasn’t borrowed by her workmate at all!”
“Bag?”
Chen Guangda subconsciously walked to the bedside and directly opened Tan Lisha’s small leather bag. However, there was nothing inside except some cosmetics. However, Jiang Shilin picked up a box of powder cakes and said, “Do you know how much this box costs? 28,000 yuan. The clothes she just wore cost 50,000 yuan. Do you know what that means?”
“Is she a young miss?”
Chen Guangda looked at her in disbelief, but Tan Lisha rolled her eyes and said, “I thought you were an old fogey. If she was willing to be a young miss, she would have made a fortune. She was fishing for a son-in-law, stupid!”
