Chapter 24: Sudden Passing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The advertisement on the signboard was very enigmatic and classy.
Nie Yugang walked into the funeral company with curiosity. When he walked in, he found that the company was not big, only covering a few dozen square meters.
The furnishings inside were shabby, and the environment was not as classy as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was almost shabby. He was a little suspicious of such a company.
Was the advertising slogan on the signboard outside a lie?
Could his funeral give him a mysterious past?
Nie Yugang was silent for a moment. This place did not seem very reliable. He had originally planned to turn around and leave.
Just as his walking stick tapped the ground, Su Chen happened to walk out and saw the old man.
Su Chen was a little surprised but also a little excited. He quickly asked,
“Old Sir, may I help you?”
His words left room for negotiation, but his hands were not ambiguous.
He took his hand enthusiastically and helped him to the sofa at the side. Then, he served tea and poured water!
Nie Yugang had originally wanted to leave, but because of Su Chen’s enthusiasm, he could not turn him down. He could only thank him repeatedly. Then, without waiting for him to react, Su Chen took out the price list.
He handed it over.
On it were the details of the company’s various services and prices.
Su Chen began to talk him through.
“Old Sir, you can take a look at our company’s professional services first. There are a variety of them, and the prices are affordable. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!”
Nie Yugang’s gaze remained on the company’s surface. This company seemed a little unreliable. After all, the shop was barely furnished. He doubted it.
Was this company reliable?
After noticing Nie Yugang’s gaze, Su Chen quickly said,
“Old Sir, the place may not seem very accomodating, but the service is absolutely professional, special and mysterious!”
As he spoke, he pointed at the price list in Nie Yugang’s hand and continued to talk him through.
“Old Sir, you can look at the service of this project. If you are willing to pay me 10,000 yuan, I will arrange for a black Maybach and 100 men in black to appear at your funeral! An old man in a suit will step out of the car and bow deeply to your tombstone. He will present a bouquet of flowers and leave solemnly.”
He listened to Su Chen’s explanation.
Nie Yugang grew a little curious. He read the list, his eyes growing wider!
Funerals had such services?
It was an entertaining thought. The lowest price was 99 yuan, but it went up to 100 million yuan. It basically had packages at all prices!
After many years of working, Nie Yugang also had a portion of money in his hands. In addition, his child already had a successful career and never once asked him for money. Therefore, he had quite some savings. Even the 100,000 yuan service was still within his acceptable range. However, the 10,000 yuan service was enough to satisfy him. That boy had argued with him before leaving to find his biological parents. He should at the very least leave this world in a way that left the boy wondering about his own past. He had remained unknown throughout his life, it was time to enjoy some of the spotlight, even if it was from the grave. He had raised a good son, it was time for this father to depart.
Perhaps it would not be too much to ask for some recognition as he left!
After seeing the various services on the price list, he entertained the thought more.
Moreover, Su Chen was a really good salesman. He felt himself getting convinced.
If the 10,000 yuan service was carried out in full, people would perhaps question his past.
Seeing Nie Yugang’s somewhat hesitant gaze, Su Chen hurriedly continued,
“If you don’t believe me, we can also sign a contract here!”
“Haha, signing a contract is meaningless. Come, young man, I’ll transfer the money to you!”
Nie Yugang took out his phone with a smile. He no longer had any doubts and transferred 10,000 yuan to Su Chen.
After receiving the 10,000 yuan, Su Chen smiled. Legal paperwork was not yet necessary!
He quickly handed over the information form:
“Please fill in your information and the location of the funeral!”
Nie Yugang picked up the pen and finished filling in the blanks with a few scribbles. Along with his every move, the bell on his wrist let out a crisp and melodious sound.
This was the first order that had been completed since Su Chen’s awakening without any prompt from the system.
The entire process was exceptionally smooth.
After Nie Yugang put down the pen, Su Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn’t easy to successfully sell a service worth 10,000 yuan.
He hoped to get a perfect rating as well.
By then, the 100 multiplier would be amazing. 10,000 yuan would become 1,000,000 yuan!
“I wish you a pleasant service!”
After sending Nie Yugang out of the shop with a respectful expression, Su Chen returned to the shop and wanted to prepare for the order. The landlady took the initiative to call him.
A sultry voice came from the phone:
“Hey, Brat, where have you been these past two days? Why isn’t the shop open?!”
“Dear sister, I was busy earning rent for you!”
Su Chen replied casually.
He had not expected the landlady to be so concerned about his small shop.
If Su Chen sidled up to her, he might not have to work hard for the rest of his life. However, this was not Su Chen’s style.
The landlady chuckled and continued asking, “Hehe, looks like business is good. I wonder if I would have the honor to be invited by you to go to Pingzhuang Cemetery?”
“Pingzhuang Cemetery?”
Hearing this, Su Chen was stunned. Wasn’t this where Chu Guozhong was buried?
…
On the other side, Nie Yugang, who had left the Su family’s funeral company, was not in a hurry to return.
Instead, he leaned on his stick and went to a place.
Qingyang development zone. This place was originally a large, abandoned state-owned enterprise factory. Now, it had been invested and rebuilt. Many office buildings rose from the ground.
Tall buildings stood there. The roads around the buildings were wide and accessible.
Nie Yugang sat on a chair by the road. His turbid gaze swept all over the place. For a moment, he was at a loss and desolate.
The shadow of a factory gradually appeared in front of him. The sound of the machinery was so familiar.
At that time, the place where he was sitting was still a desolate pile of weeds.
One night, when he passed by this pile of weeds on his way home after working overtime, he had heard the faint cry of a baby. At that time, the night was dark and the moonlight was cold. This baby’s cry had pierced through the darkness and silence, almost scaring him out of his wits.
This was a period when the government was trying to get rid of superstition among the people, and so he refused to believe that this was a ghost haunting.
He mustered up his courage and walked towards the sound. A child had been abandoned on the grassland.
The child was small and crying with all his strength. His heart ached terribly.
Just like that, he carried the child home in a daze…
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years passed by in a flash.
He recalled everything that seemed to have happened yesterday.
But here, buildings had covered the sky and tar had blanketed the roads.
This street, which he had walked on for decades, was no longer the same as it was before….
