Chapter 6: Elevator Rescue, A Ghostly Escape

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Shang Que glanced at him and said, "We are the ghosts of a legitimate company, and our activities in the human world also adhere to human laws. Let your friend come out to meet us."

Zhang Qingqing: Guangzong is one of the individuals trapped in that elevator

She spoke and then provided her own explanation: "However, it is not surprising; we have been stuck for over an hour, and there are still quite a few partners inside. I heard that they still cannot determine the cause. The maintenance department said they conduct regular inspections every month and found no signs of malfunction, which is quite strange indeed..."

Zhenghao Shangque stepped out and said, "Hmm," and added, "The impact this time is quite significant; I need to go there in person"

Yu Zhengdu nodded calmly: "Yes, I believe that Guangzong will definitely be able to hold on."

Hou Guangzong: "Haha, it's nothing much. Today I came with the project manager to discuss a collaboration with Qingqing Company, but I didn't expect to run into this situation."

Zhang Qingqing: [Link: Local Headlines: Multiple vehicles in Gujing District suddenly lost control, nearly colliding with pedestrians, fortunately no major accidents occurred]

Yu Zhengdu: "... ... Tsk."

The argument between the two individuals drew the attention of others. The middle-aged man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and said by Zhang Qingqing to be the company owner, frowned and asked, "What is going on?"

Shuangjiao Technology is a well-established gaming company in Fucheng, affectionately referred to as "Niu Factory" by the community. The company owns an independent building in the Ancient Well District of Fucheng. When Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que arrived at the Shuangjiao building, two fire trucks were already parked outside, and several staff members in firefighting uniforms were transporting equipment, while a number of onlookers had gathered nearby to watch.

Zhang Qingqing: Ah, how come you are in our company

He looked at Yu Zhengdu again and said, "You and I will go to the Double Horn Building together"

Yu Zhengdu looked at the messages in the group, and after considering the location of the cattle factory and the site of the news event, a thought flashed through his mind. He said to Shang Que: "Boss, I might have an idea of where those escaped ghosts are right now"

Mhetushu.com, Yu Zhengdu's thoughts are that the boss still has some strange and supernatural abilities

Zhang Qingqing: "You all quickly look at this news, it happened right next to where I am interning. I happened to encounter it when I arrived near the company this morning, it scared me to death"

At the elevator entrance of the eighteenth floor, a crowd of staff from Shuangjiao Technology and firefighters was indeed gathered. A firefighter, presumably the team leader, was discussing the rescue plan with the head of the maintenance department of the Shuangjiao Building. The two were arguing heatedly, almost to the point of physical confrontation.

He had just watched half of the news when he saw Lu Lingxi stand up and call out to two colleagues: "Qu Lu, Chen Yangli, you two will go out on duty with the boss."

Zhang Qingqing, furious, stamped her foot and exclaimed: "How can you all be like this? No matter how anxious you are, you must listen to the professionals. Isn't this just chaos?"

Hou Guangzong: It is quite good, the company holds us in regard, but this time we are interfacing with a senior executive from Qingqing's company, and we can learn a lot from this experience

Yu Zhengdu looked at him with some disbelief: "Is that true?"

He glanced at the firefighters moving nearby and said, "Relying solely on these people won't open the elevator"

Lu Lingxi glanced at him and said, "There is a ghost over by the ancient well who refuses to reincarnate, and it has escaped with a few other ghosts, taking several human drivers hostage while they were driving, nearly causing a major accident. We need to go over and handle the situation."

Zhang Qingqing was deeply moved by this sincere camaraderie among classmates: "Indeed, true feelings are revealed in times of adversity. I believe Guangzong will definitely be touched..."

Meanwhile, the firefighters and staff also discovered Yu Zhengdu. A firefighter approached him and said, "Classmate, it is dangerous here. Please go to another place and do not come too close."

Yu Zhengdu curiously raised his head and asked, "Does our company still require fieldwork?"

Yu Zhengdu blinked and said, "This is my boss. I heard that my classmate was trapped in the elevator with some *pictures* and *books*, so he hurriedly sent me over."

At that moment, he felt his hand being seized

The firefighter turned his head to respond to him: "What is going on with your company? I have already stated that this area needs to be cordoned off, so why are you still allowing a bunch of random people to come over and create chaos..."

Classmate B: Is that not very dangerous?

"What?" Yu Zhengdu asked, puzzled, as a strange warmth slowly flowed from where his palms were clasped into the palms of his hands.

... ...

He expressed his speculation, and Shang Que thought for a moment, saying: "Chen Yangli and Qu Luxian should go to the ancient well to investigate the situation over there."

Zhang Qingqing was taken aback: "I really didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with Guangzong!"

Several other individuals leaned against the elevator door, knocking on it while attempting to communicate with the person trapped inside

Yu Zhengdu glanced at Shang Que and silently asked him with his eyes: What should we do

Zhang Qingqing suddenly felt the true warmth of humanity and remarked, "Your boss is truly a good person"

Classmate A: Wow, Guangzong is so impressive, able to go out and negotiate partnerships during the internship period

Shang Que merely smiled at him

Zhu Yan: Can't be true?

The firefighter turned his head and saw that Yu Zhengdu had taken advantage of his momentary distraction to dart over to the side of the elevator.

Yu Zhengdu clutched one side of his chest and said, "I heard that Guangzong is trapped in the elevator, and I felt very worried, so I hurried over to check the situation"

But she ultimately did not have the chance; Yu Zhengdu had already taken the lead and walked ahead. Shang Que turned back to glance at her and, with a light laugh, followed suit

Zhang Qingqing: It’s nothing, just a big scare

Yu Zhengdu wore a sincere expression and said, "We are all classmates."

Yu Zhengdu then looked at Shang Que and said: "Hurry, boss, use your illusion to blend in."

Due to the elevator malfunction, the Double Angle Building has suspended the reception of non-appointment visitors, and the management of personnel entering and exiting has become more stringent

The firefighter, furious, was about to rush over to push him, but suddenly felt an inexplicable stiffness in his shoulder, rendering him unable to move. He turned his head and saw a handsome young man looking at him with a half-smile.

Yu Zhengdu said: "The elevator seems fine, let me press the button."

Hou Guangzong: [Self | Photo .jpg, this is my equipment for today, meeting the client for the first time, I cannot bring shame to the company]

Zhang Qingqing: What on earth is today? The elevator in our company suddenly broke down, getting stuck between the 17th and 18th floors.

Qu Lyu was quite displeased: "It seems I will have to work overtime again these days. Ah, how frustrating!"

Classmate A: It’s too terrifying; if I were trapped inside, I would probably be scared to death

Before he finished speaking, the elevator, which had not responded despite attempts to troubleshoot for a long time, suddenly made a "ding" sound and began to operate

Zhang Qingqing turned her head upon hearing the voice and reassured, "Don't worry, it's just a temporary confinement; Guangzong will definitely be fine"

Classmate A: [What? How is it?]

Zhang Qingqing said: "Then follow me. Right now, the 17th and 18th floors are occupied by the fire department, and the scene is a bit chaotic. Just watch from the side and don't cause any trouble."

The duration of their handshake was brief, and Shang Que quickly released him, saying: "You just need to press the elevator button, and the door will open."

Yu Zhengdu: "... ..."

Hou Guangzong: You see, I was able to personally connect with the executives of the beef factory during my internship at New Star. I advise you not to waste time in small companies either

I will go, I will go, I will go

There are also some individuals, presumably company employees, walking around with anxious expressions on their faces

The merchant paused in front of the building, looked up at the glass exterior wall, and his beautiful eyes seemed deep and unfathomable. He said, "Hmm, there are a few ghosts in this building."

As Yu Zhengdu had just arrived at the company and had not yet started working, he was having breakfast with Tushu while scrolling through WeChat. He completely ignored Hou Guangzong's remarks and clicked on the news link shared by Zhang Qingqing.

Zhang Qingqing: It is so tragic, it seems that there are dozens of people inside, and the maintenance department has not been able to identify the cause for half a day

The firefighter, upon hearing this, became somewhat angry: "We are in the process of rescue, please do not interfere"

"Oh my, that is our big boss," Zhang Qingqing said in a low voice to Yu Zhengdu, pointing at a middle-aged man dressed in a modified Zhongshan suit. "I have been interning for so long and have only seen him on the company website. I didn't expect that he would be involved this time."

Anti-Balding Alliance

Everyone on the scene collectively took a breath, and the man in the Zhongshan suit shouted angrily: "Who is this person? Why haven't you taken him away yet!"

Classmate A: [I am envious...]

He was momentarily puzzled; with this delay, Yu Zhengdu took the opportunity to press the button for the elevator to go up

Hou Guangzong, while speaking, began to cue Yu Zhengdu again

Classmate A: "Multiple vehicles lost control simultaneously? How strange?"

... ...

Zhang Qingqing: What on earth

Hou Guangzong: "No way, I am currently at Qingqing Company, fortunately I didn't run into it"

Yu Zhengdu: "... ... What should I do?"

A colleague named Chen Yangli complained, "However, we still don't know where those ghosts have escaped to, and it's a bit troublesome to search for them"

The Department of Poverty has truly not collapsed at all; the mode of transportation lacks any supernatural elements, and to top it off, the esteemed ruler of the underworld doesn't even have a vehicle

He swallowed the last bite of bread and asked, "Is this the event reported in the local headlines?"

Shang Que stood up and elegantly adjusted her hem, saying, "Let's take a taxi."

Zhu Yan: [Puff---]

Zhu Yan: [Panic .jpg, Is everyone alright?]

He looked down and saw Shang Que holding his palm, their hands pressed together. Shang Que softly said, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Hou Guangzong: [@ Zhang Qingqing, I should finish talking around noon, we can have lunch together at www.hetushu.com]

When Zhang Qingqing saw him, she was somewhat puzzled: "Why have you come to our company as well?"

He glanced at Lu Lingxi, then looked at the news on his phone, nearly spitting out his breakfast.

She was speaking halfway when she suddenly noticed the commercial building beside her, and her eyes brightened instantly as she asked, "Is this your friend?"

Before he could finish speaking, another staff member suddenly shouted: "What do you want to do! ?"

Hou Guangzong: [@ Yu Zhengdu, by the way, Zhengdu, are you really not coming to New Star? I checked the company you are working for online, it's a bit small, it's such a pity for you to go there

Zhang Qingqing: Their company personnel happened to catch that ride and got stuck inside together

Yu Zhengdu was just about to say something when he saw the WeChat page on his phone jumping wildly

She brought Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que into the company. Due to the complete closure of the elevator exits on the seventeenth and eighteenth floors for rescue operations, they could only take another staircase to reach the sixteenth floor, and then walk up two more flights of stairs to the eighteenth floor

Zhang Qingqing: The fire department has already been called, and it is estimated that we will have to force the door open soon

@ Local Headlines: During the morning rush hour today, several moving cars on the main road in Gujing District suddenly lost control, accelerating automatically and deviating from their normal driving paths, nearly causing accidents. Fortunately, after a brief period of chaos, normalcy was restored. Several car owners later stated that they were unclear about what had happened. According to the current inspection results, the vehicles are functioning normally, and the cause of the incident is still under further investigation.

Yu Zhengdu rubbed his hands together with anticipation: "How should we get there? By flying or burrowing underground? Or should we just close our eyes and open them to find ourselves there."

Yu Zhengdu: `` ... ... ''

Zhang Qingqing's ears suddenly perked up, and upon hearing this, she was about to pull Yu Zhengdu: "Wait, I already said it's fine to just watch from the side, we can't interfere recklessly..."

Yu Zhengdu nodded, but smiled without speaking

Shang Que once again failed to decipher his gaze and asked, "What?"
