Chapter Fourteen The Second Ordeal
Limping to the car difficultly,he was shock again,because it was a Ferrari ENZO.
He had saw this car in a magazine of cars—absolute limited-edition roadster,worth over 25 millions,which even the money might not buy.
Xia was speechless again.He recalled the middle-aged man"s car was a pretty good one,a Bentley seemingly.
"Isn"t the company a bank?It"s f.u.c.king rich!"
Comparing to the middle-aged man and now the woman in front of him,he suddenly felt his probation salary was so normal.
"What are you dreaming of?Hurry up!Get on the car!"
The woman rolled down the car window,snapping at Xia who was in a surprise manner.
It was not until Xia heard the woman"s voice that he react awkwardly and hastily got on the car.
Ting up the safety belt,unbidden,he cast a glance at the woman beside him.
What made him embarra.s.sed,the woman turned around and looked at him,as if she had received his mind.The eye contact made his blood standing still.
"I...Can I ask where you are taking me? "to got rid of the embarra.s.sment,he hurried to found a subject.
She looked not about to drive the car at once,instead,answered with patience.
"You can go anywhere you want to.I only want to say a few words to you."
Hearing this,he felt a strange emotion,maybe happy,maybe lost for her leaving him.But he expressed nothing,but nodded quietly.
The woman continued.
"Your condition is kind of special.The ghost you have met in your probation period was fixed by me,not you,so you don"t have the qualification of becoming a full member even you have pa.s.sed the probation."
"Excuse me?"Xia looked at the woman in some disturbance.
"Actually,I know nothing about this."
"You mean you didn"t know what you are doing?"The woman looked surprised a few.
"Haven"t Xutianhua say something to you?"
"Well...Who is Xutianhua?"
"Xutianhua is the man who interviewed you and designated you to the probation work .Why,you don"t know?"
"He didn"t tell me his name,and I"m totally blank with the condition of the company.He only took me to The Big Xinhua Bookstore."
Xia said honestly.
"This Xutianhua!He deserve to die!"The woman was exasperated,but she soon got back as normal and explained.
"Well,let me tell you these things now that you know nothing..."
After her explanation,Xia finally got some knowledge of his own situation.
Each recruit would be designated by his charge, to a haunted area as an ordeal.
If one pa.s.sed the ordeal,one could sign the regular contract,became a full member,and enjoy the treatment of the regular employee.
The only judgment criteria was fixing the haunted situation alive.
So,generally speaking,the destiny of the recruit during probation supposed to be killing by the ghost,or killing the ghost.But his was the exception,he neither had killed the ghost,nor had been killed by the ghost.
Before the probation,one"s charge was supposed to make an explanation to him,for example,he would remind him of the strange things,meeting the ghost and the he was liable to tell the recruit to work through the haunted situation to pa.s.s the ordeal.
If the recruit didn"t comply with the company rules,escaping or hiding for personal reasons,he would be killed by the evil ghosts with in three days.
When Xia heard that,he cursed the middle-aged man of not telling him these so important things.
The woman stopped saying.She didn"t refer to the treatment of the regular staff and things for that stage,because Xia was not pa.s.sed the ordeal yet.
Certainly,she mentioned none of the company"s secrets.
"I have to remind you,a point,very important,you should not blame yourself for signing the contract, so that get you bad lucks.The company selected you,or me,for a reason.That is to say,this is our destiny."
"Destiny?"Xia repeated with confusion.
"Was it inevitable for us to join the company?"
"Maybe you will find the answer some times,but now you"d better to think more about what to do to pa.s.s the mission."
The woman wouldn"t like to be questioned too much,so she changed the subject.
"Now that your former charge,Xutianhua,had died,you follow me for the time being.I will give you one day to rest.At 8 o"clock on the day after tomorrow,you should register at Qihe Female Academy on time which is your second probational job. "
"Qihe Female Academy ?"
Xia was no stranger to this academy.99 percent females accounted for the academy"s students,which known as "Woman"s tomb"and"Man"s heaven".
He would have been excited to get into that place before.Now he couldn"t feel the slightest trace of excitement,because he had already known the meaning of the probation thing,which was all about ghosts and death,especially for him,was full of dangerous.
"You are supposed to be a dorm administrator of the academy,and other recruits will join you."Said the woman slowly.
"How many recruits will there be except me?"
"Three."The woman gave the precise answer.
Xia was so cautious,because he had witnessed the ghost disguising as a man.If he didn"t get the precise number of the recruits,maybe he would be killed with not knowing why.
He had better to prepare in advance.
The woman looked at the time.It was about to dawn.She sent him away.
"Well,I have said what I supposed to say.Get off my car.I had to deal with the things about Xutianhua."
"What should I do?I didn"t have the capacity of catching a ghost,besides,is the ghost this time as fierce as the former one?"
"Probably not,it was an accident before.Well, I have to go."Said the woman in an impatient tone.
There was so many questions that Xia wanted to ask,but he could but got off the car despondently.However,he added at last.
"What is your name?"
"Senior director,Liangruoyun."
As she said,she drive away in her Ferrari.
"Senior director...Liangruoyun..."
Looking at the way she disappeared,Xia murmured.He thought Liangruoyun had a pretty good personality.
The pleasant aftertaste was transient.Soon,he was drawn to the cruel reality.
"Hope to see her again,if I will be alive."
Thinking of the next journey to the Qihe Female Academy,he was flooded with the feeling of coldness and fatigue.
