I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

At 3 pm...

Lu Yao was sitting in a taxi, with Gu Mingxiao chattering beside him: "Ayao, you are amazing. People from Chengguang Entertainment came to discuss cooperation with you? But you already have a top operator like me, what else are you talking to them about?"

"It's just an advertising cooperation. They want to promote Nanhong beads, which are said to ward off evil spirits. They watched my live broadcast with the Legend King last night and thought they could let me promote their products."

"So what's their plan? Write a script and have you go to an abandoned house to look for ghosts and broadcast an ad?"

"That's probably the plan." Lu Yao looked out the window. The taxi had already passed a top CBD within the second ring road of Wuxiang City, where the office building of Orange Light Entertainment was located.

"Are you going to follow the script they gave you?"

"No plan."

The taxi driver parked the car in the CBD's taxi lane. Lu Yao got out of the car carrying a large backpack. He held the door open for Gu Mingxiao like a gentleman and welcomed Gu Mingxiao down.

"Didn't you plan to talk to them about anything?"

When asked this, Lu Yao paused and gave an answer that left Gu Mingxiao confused: "If I want to explore the spirits, I must do it in my own way. I will naturally not use their scripts, but it is not bad to borrow their resources, and I also have someone I want to meet."

I still have to meet my uncle's blind date. In case this person really becomes my aunt, I must not let my uncle be deceived.

In a moment, Lu Yao and Gu Mingxiao arrived at the reception hall of Orange Light Entertainment.

The anchors of Orange Light Entertainment were seen coming in and out. From time to time, some of them would see the two of them, glance at them a few times, and then walk away with their heads held high.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's indeed a big company, everyone inside looks down on others."

To be honest, Lu Yao and Gu Mingxiao's outfits today were really unattractive. Lu Yao wore a simple pair of denim overalls, which were high-end but without a brand name, and were embroidered with colorful patterns. Gu Mingxiao did not sleep well last night, so when Lu Yao called him out, he was still wearing shorts and slippers.

Looking at them this way, you really can't tell that one of them is the first daughter of Wuxiang City, and the other is the prince of Gu family. Their looks are just pleasing to the eye. However, there are many faces with excessive plastic surgery. The good-looking faces are all the same, and those with unique looks are always ignored.

As a result, the two of them stood at the door and were left alone for twenty minutes before being allowed in.

And during these twenty minutes of being left alone, in the office of the operations director.

A woman with a delicate face, sparkling earrings, and a Chanel-style outfit was drinking coffee and listening to a young man in a suit reporting, "Director Lan, the programmer called and said that she and her operations manager have arrived at the company."

"Arrived? Let them wait first." The woman didn't care. "She's just a grassroots. Why is she playing big shot? We let her come to our company because we think highly of her. She wants to lead her own operations and doesn't want to sign a contract. In that case, let her wait first."

"That's not good. The person is very popular right now, and we were the ones who contacted him first."

"Famous? You talk as if everyone has been famous. I have tens of millions of fans on Facebook overseas. And..."

Lan Xinyu smiled complacently but didn't finish her words.

She wanted to say that she was currently discussing a marriage, and if his mother's side was settled, she would marry into a wealthy family, so why would she care about these tens of millions of fans?

"Yes, yes, of course you are different from them." Upon hearing this, Qian Hong immediately nodded and bowed, then looked out the window, watching the faint white clouds floating by, wondering whether he should go out for cold pot skewers if he didn't have to work overtime today.

......

Just like that, twenty minutes later, Qian Hong welcomed Lu Yao and Gu Mingxiao to the reception room.

Lu Yao looked at Qian Hong and heard his self-introduction. He was probably the person who called her in the morning, a polite and hard-working worker. So Lu Yao's attitude towards Qian Hong was okay.

On the table in the reception room, Qian Hong brought two glasses of water and placed them in front of Lu Yao and Gu Mingxiao, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Miss Programmer, the director was delayed by something just now, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

Lu Yao took the water, looked at Lan Xinyu who was slowly walking into the reception room, smiled and said, "It's okay, not everyone has the same quality and sense of time as Mr. Qian."

As soon as she stepped into the door, Lan Xinyu heard Lu Yao's indirect criticism. She stopped and looked at Lu Yao.

Damn it, there is actually a girl prettier than her, and this girl is younger than her, with a childish air about her.

However, being prettier than her would be an even greater sin, so Lan Xinyu snorted without hesitation: "Humph, quality is something that can only be applied to ordinary people. Some people are ordinary their entire lives, and the only advantage they have left is quality."

"You're right, because those ordinary people who feel good about themselves don't even have quality."

Seeing that Lu Yao and Lan Xinyu were arguing as soon as they met, Qian Hong hurriedly tried to mediate: "Hey, Director Lan is here. Come, let me introduce you, Miss Programmer. This is our Director Lan Xinyu. Director Lan, this is... Oh, Miss Programmer, what should we call you offline?"

"My last name is Lu."

"Lu Mingsheng's Lu." Gu Mingxiao answered quickly. If not at this time to mention Lu Yao's father, when else? If Lu Yao called himself Ma Lu's Lu, no one would care. But if Lu Mingsheng was mentioned, everyone would know him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yao glared at Gu Mingxiao, while the remaining two people looked at each other.

Why are you mentioning the mayor for no reason? Can you be related to the mayor?

After various introductions, the four of them slowly sat down and talked about cooperation matters. Qian Hong said, "This is our idea. Today's Nanhong products are provided by a major customer of ours. His requirement is not to increase sales, but to promote his brand. So we prepared a script and want Miss Lu to go to Tanling to promote it according to the script."

As he spoke, Qian Hong took out the script and handed it to Lu Yao. Lu Yao flipped through it and put it back on the table: "Mr. Qian, let's talk about the facts. Your choice of script is inappropriate."

"Ms. Lu, don't worry. The abandoned building we chose will definitely guarantee your safety." Qian Hong took the script back and turned to the location scouting pictures in the script.

It was an abandoned villa building, and it was the location for many horror movies.

It looks creepy just from the picture, so Qian Hong thought that Lu Yao refused to live broadcast there because he was too scared and worried that the building was really haunted.

However, Lu Yao shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether it's safe or not. What I mean is that this place is too safe. There are too many artificial traces in the script. The audience will not believe it, let alone be interested."

As he spoke, Lu Yao took out his cell phone and flipped through the photos of Jinling Girls' High School: "I think we should set this as the place for the ghost search."

In the photo, even during the day, no light could be seen from the buildings of Jinling Girls' High School. The buildings were overgrown with weeds and the iron railings were rusty. I don't know if it was Qian Hong's illusion, but he actually felt that the temperature around him had dropped by several degrees.

Lan Xinyu felt the same way.

I have to say that when comparing these two places, Jinling Girls' High School is more attractive than the abandoned villa.

However, she immediately objected: "Can you broadcast it wherever you want? We haven't done any location scouting in that place in advance. How to put the fake ghosts in there and where to put them? How to set up the mechanism depends on the actual situation on the spot. Do you know how much manpower and material resources it will cost? I graduated from business school and was hired to save money for the investors and protect the interests of the company. You..."

"Who told you that it takes manpower and material resources? This place doesn't need people to pretend to be ghosts, nor does it need to set up horror mechanisms. It doesn't even need an atmosphere group. The atmosphere will be there just by entering. I'm a ghost hunter, so I don't need these assistance. I can go in alone tonight."

"It's easy to say, but if you go in alone and the results are not good, or if you escape temporarily and damage the interests of the company, what should we do?" Lan Xinyu asked nitpickingly, then, after thinking for a while, she said, "Since you are so capable, I will go with you today to check it out and supervise you!"

Lu Yao blinked his eyes. What the hell?

"Are you... sure you want to go with me?"

"Humph, why not? Are you afraid that I'll find out if you do something behind my back?"

"Okay, since you are so enthusiastic, I can't stop you." If someone insisted on seeking death, Lu Yao couldn't stop him, even though the last batch of people who went to explore spirits with her were still lying in the hospital.
