Duckweed

Fortunately, the new year's recruitment season is coming soon, and the manpower shortage problem that plagued Xiao Sang is expected to be alleviated.

The management of July Liuhuo has always attached great importance to the reserve and discovery of talents. First, because this special service industry itself has the characteristics of relatively fast talent flow and high elimination rate. Second, although there will never be a shortage of job seekers, Selecting the right person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. As the saying goes, the most difficult thing to eat is to open your mouth.

And Xiao Sang and the others know that talents are the core competitiveness, and at the same time, they are deeply afraid that the labor shortage that has affected many industries in recent years will spread to the public relations industry. They should take precautions, so this year they once again increased their publicity efforts and released recruitment information in an all-round and three-dimensional manner. , the biggest of which was to buy an entire page in the local newspaper for advertising——

"Beauty, handsome guy, enough is enough!

Because of his longing for white-collar workers, he had to risk sudden death and work overtime until late at night.

Because he yearned to start a business, he had to take the risk of having nothing and mortgage his only property.

Because I yearn for a full love, I have to endure the haggardness of reality and the difficulties of my mother-in-law/mother-in-law.

You just want a house with three bedrooms and two halls that belongs to you!

You just want a small car that can travel without shame!

You just want to spend a lot of money and be proud of the classmate reunion during the Chinese New Year!

but!

Look in the mirror and you will see that you are nothing but beautiful/handsome!

Let white-collar workers, entrepreneurs and mother-in-law/mother-in-law go to hell, and get back your mansion, sports car and wealth!

Welcome to July Fire!

(We are sincerely looking for young people with good temperament, good looks, pursuit of life and taste, regardless of gender, if you are the one. Address: No. XX Road, XX District, Didu City. Tel: XXXXX looking for Manager Xiao)

Two days after the advertisement was released, the local cultural and propaganda departments were dissatisfied. Even FGW sent people to question it, saying that the gray industry should not be too high-profile, which is not conducive to the spread of core values.

In July, when Liuhuo’s executives closed the door for a meeting, they complained that they were a big local taxpayer. The director of FGW was here at night and didn’t want to go home. Going lover!

The effect of the advertisement has already been achieved. For a while, the topics after dinner in the streets and alleys are inseparable from the hot topic in July, and the brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Xiao Sang had a premonition that this year's job fair would be an unprecedentedly busy one.

However, before that, he still has one more important thing to prepare - to welcome Master Wu's annual visit.

In recent years, Mr. Wu has lived more and more reclusively, not going out easily, and rarely appearing in July.However, on a certain day every year, he will definitely visit a VIP room on the highest floor of July Liuhuo in person.

The door of that room is locked all the year round. Except for the cleaners, no one is allowed to come in and out at will, and no matter how high the price is paid by the guests, they cannot use it. It is the most mysterious place in the whole July.

"About that room, it's a haunted house." Emma, ​​the lady with the most seniority in July, spread gossip in her casual and lazy voice while replenishing fans. Obviously, she enjoyed being praised by the stars and became a cultural inheritor. this identity.Under the begging of all the juniors, she put down the powder cake and flickered her big eyes covered with false eyelashes, and told the horror story——

"When I entered the store, that room had long been closed to the public. Sister Emma and I also heard it from seniors, and seniors also heard from seniors. They said that the first red card of July Liuhuo once lived there. Young master, that young master is very popular, even today's Yandan Li Ye can't compare with him, and even said—" She lowered her voice and put her hands on her mouth to create a very private momentum, "This store is It was opened for that person. There are many people who like this young master, and one of them is a big shot who planned to take him away with him, but at that time the young master was burdened with a huge debt and couldn't afford it, not to mention that he is a cash cow, and of course the person holding him Willing to let go..."

Some ducklings interjected in a low voice, "Isn't that the same situation as Shi Jinnian above?"

Others don't let him talk about it, and listen to sister Emma tell the story of the past.

Emma continued to lose, "So look at the powerful guest and the powerful host. Because the young master with the red card got on the bar, they had to compete. So one day, two people added a red card, and three people We made an appointment to meet in that room. The outsiders don’t know what happened inside. They only know that there was a fierce quarrel, and then there was no sound after a few gunshots. She sighed and stopped on purpose, tantalizing.

Everyone complimented her and persuaded her to continue. Emma picked up the story again after a technical pause, "There was blood all over the room, blood sprayed on the carpet, walls, and even the ceiling. All three of them fell in a pool of blood."

"Are they all dead?"

"Are they all dead?"

Everyone began to speculate about the ending of the story again. Emma lit a cigarette and said in a vicissitudes of life, "From then on, that room will be closed forever. But soon after, someone heard people moaning and crying from inside." Aunt Wang, who went in to clean the bathroom, said that the evil spirit was too strong, and it was chilly. I advise you, don’t lean over there easily, it will be nice to bump into a good brother.”

The room was silent, with the cold wind blowing, goosebumps arose, "Damn, are those three people dead?"

Emma said helplessly: "Stupid! Do you still have to tell me about this kind of thing? If you think about it, you will know!" She got up and wanted to leave, and finally exhaled smoke rings and added, "There is still this matter in July Moonfire is a taboo, so please don't gossip about it." Then he left slowly, leaving only a suspenseful figure in the world.

Looking at her back, everyone discussed for a while, and finally came to a conclusion - two of them should have died, and one survived, and this person would come to worship his beloved on a certain day every year, so the identity of this surviving person It was obvious that it was the guest who loved the red card but lost his love.

No one said the names of the survivors, and all of them exchanged knowing glances.

But one mystery remains—how did the survivors go from guests to hosts of the July Fire?

So there was a lot of chatter, and everyone gave this story a reasonable understanding-of course, it was to deeply mourn the red card lover.

"No wonder I heard that he has been in poor health." Someone sighed.

"The so-called deep love and longevity is exactly this kind of thing." Another person sighed.

"It's so touching." Another person wiped away tears, "I didn't expect Wu—"

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Sang interrupted the gossip meeting by appearing like a ghost.

There were those sensible and conscientious ones who pretended to be innocent and smiled and walked away, but those ignorant curiosity killed the cat and asked: "Xiao Sang, I heard that the haunted house was left by Master Wu for his dead lover, isn't it?"

Xiao Sang, who has always been kind to his subordinates, changed his face when he heard this, and reprimanded this person sharply, then blocked the door and taught them one by one, and finally issued a password, "What a haunted house! What a lover! These villains Listen to who said it?! One person here counts as one! I warn you not to make trouble out of nothing and create troubles in July! Let alone those rumors of ghosts and ghosts! Whoever let me hear half-eared Talk behind your back, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” His stern eyes swept over everyone, no one dared to look directly at him, it’s time to give the final warning!He slowed down his speech and said in a low voice, "Don't think that it's just that you don't do something so simple that you can solve it in July. Have you ever heard someone outside saying that there is a haunted house in July?! No Right? That’s because people who dare to spread rumors can’t even stay in Didu City, or they don’t know if they are alive or not, because dead people will never talk nonsense.”

These words made everyone present tremble slightly, and the effect of fear was even better than the ghost story just now.They had never seen Xiao Sang threaten anyone, so the threat from him was very real and terrifying.

After getting the permission, these people ran away one after another.And the matter of Emma's dismissal after days and days is a later story.

In fact, Emma had planned to retire a long time ago, and she could get a severance pay by taking this opportunity, so she was in her arms.

On the day she left the workplace where she had struggled for several years with the cardboard box in her arms, she looked back at the fire in July, and saw those big gold-plated characters shining luxuriously in the night, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion——

"Goodbye July Fire! Although I have left, I know that your ghost story has been passed down by me—" A sense of pride welled up.

The sigh of the senior who told her this story and was also dismissed was still in her ears, "Although Xiao Sang didn't let us talk about it, he didn't understand that ghost stories are an indispensable part of corporate culture."

Xiao Sang frowned a little worriedly, he always had to deal with the rumors about that room every one or two years, although the old people who knew the truth were no longer angry in July, but the rumors behind the scenes became more and more outrageous.I can only hope that these rumors don't reach Lord Wu's ears, otherwise it might really cause death.

When people were panicking, Master Wu arrived in July as scheduled, and he was in a hurry.

The front store is still operating normally, and there is no abnormality, but the VIP ordering business is temporarily suspended.

Shi Jinnian was rarely free today, he had nothing to do and stood in his pajamas at the door of the room leaning against the door to see if any important person came to visit outside.There was no one in the corridor, except for the security guards on each floor who were standing by the elevator without turning their eyes.

Shi Jinnian knew that the security guards on the floors of the VIP customers were cross-tasked—the gays were assigned to the floor where the ladies were in charge, and the heterosexuals were sent to patrol the young men's premises, in order to prevent them from eating grass.

But Shi Jinnian found that although the security guy looked loyal, his eyes always "casually" swept across his bare thighs under his pajamas, which meant something else rather than disgust.

In order to test the little brother's performance, Shi Jinnian used a simple and effective method. He went back to the room, opened the refrigerator, took out a transmission egg roll shell and shit lump-shaped ice cream from it, and returned to the door, still leaning against the door, licking and eating.

The little security guard immediately glued his eyes to his mouth and tongue, staring straight ahead, swallowing secretly and so on.

"Boring, it's double again." Shi Jinnian thought to himself, yawned, and prepared to go back to sleep in the dark.

At this time, the numbers on the elevator began to change, and he couldn't help staring at it with some curiosity, guessing which floor it would stop at, whether it would come to this floor, and who would come.

As a result, the red number went up layer by layer, approached, and passed, until it stopped at the highest layer.

"I've never seen anyone go to the highest level before. It seems like a very distinguished guest... Forget it, let's go back to sleep." Shi Jinnian thought, then threw the remaining ice cream at the door, turned and went back.

He wasn't worried that he would spoil the environment, maybe the security guard would secretly pick up his leftovers as soon as he closed the door--that's how despicable the previous transferred person was.

Master Wu's ostentation was very low-key, he entered the store through the special passage specially opened by Qiyue Liuhuo for customers who did not want to disclose their identities, and went straight to the top floor.

There were not many random people, but Xiao Sang always accompanied him up, but it was beyond his reach after reaching the door of the room.

Master Wu stood at the door and sighed: "It's been another year...it seems like yesterday."

Xiao Sang echoed, "Yeah, life goes by quickly."

Master Wu waved his hand, "I know you are busy with work. There are many people in this store, and there are many places that need your attention. Go, you don't have to stay here."

Xiao Sang knew that Master Wu was not being polite, and that he really didn't need him here, so he just said: "Pay attention to your health, if you need anything, just send someone to tell you." Then he backed off as promised.

He got on the elevator, and when the door closed, he saw Master Wu push open the door that opened once a year and walk into the dark darkness.
