790 The Haunted Land
“Uncle Zhou told me that many noble ladies asked him when Charm will open a branch in the capital earlier. They like Charm gowns very much. I also had the idea to open a branch of Charm in the capital, so you can prepare the gowns for it these days. I’ll arrange someone to find a good shop in the capital,” Gu Ning said.
“No problem,” Yu Zi said. She was enthusiastic about opening a branch in the capital, because it meant that her brand was becoming more and more popular.
“I’ve been very busy recently, and I didn’t have much time to ask you about the condition of the company right now. How is everything going?” Gu Ning asked.
“Many companies have discussed about cooperation with Manager Gao during the past few days, and we’ve already settled several deals with a wedding gown company, an exclusive gown store and so forth,” Yu Zi said. She was more than happy to see the sales of her gowns were up.
Manager Gao’s name was Gao Weichao. He was the general manager of Gu Ning’s garment company. The company was still under construction, so Gao Weichao along with other staff worked in the factory for now. The factory was large enough to accommodate them.
Charm was just a part of Gu Ning’s garment company; they also produced many other styles of clothing at the same time, so Gao Weichao was hiring more clothing designers now.
Gu Ning planned to register more clothing brands when she was free in the following days.
After hanging up the call with Yu Zi, Gu Ning continued to eat.
It was already dark when she finished the meal, but she didn’t leave right away. Instead, she called Quan Mingkai.
“Hi, Lady Ning, may I help?” Quan Mingkai said with respect.
“Uncle Quan, do you know about the abandoned land at XX district?” Gu Ning asked.
“Yes,” Quan Mingkai said. “It’s said that it’s haunted, so It’s been abandoned for a long time.”
“Well, I think it’s a good piece of land, and I want to buy it to build office buildings. Can you help me acquire it?” Gu Ning asked.
Gu Ning decided to build office buildings for the Shengning Group there. The headquarters of the Shengning Group was located in the capital, but its branch also needed office buildings in City B. With her business group expanding, she would be in need of more office buildings as well.
“What? I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Quan Mingkai was surprised that Gu Ning wanted to buy the land.
“Uncle Quan, it’s fine. I know how to handle it properly,” Gu Ning said with confidence. As long as she could deal with the female ghost, it would be fine.
Since Gu Ning said so, Quan Mingkai agreed. However, he still thought that it was necessary to let Tang Yunfan be aware of it.
It was 7 pm, but Tang Yunfan was still working in the company, so Quan Mingkai went to tell him in the chairman’s office.
Tang Yunfan was also shocked after hearing it, but he agreed in the end since it was Gu Ning’s decision.
…
Gu Ning left for the abandoned construction site after walking out of the restaurant.
The abandoned construction site was totally dark at night without any light.
It was indeed a haunted place, and filled with Yin, because there was a red figure floating around in the buildings. Luckily, Gu Ning wasn’t afraid of it.
The female ghost was surprised to see Gu Ning again, and it wondered why Gu Ning came here. It thought that Gu Ning couldn’t see it, so it didn’t think that she came here for it. However, the female ghost still held some hope, and flew to Gu Ning at once. It soon appeared at the front of Gu Ning, but Gu Ning stayed calm and didn’t give her a glance.
They were still outside, and Gu Ning planned to talk with her when they were in the buildings.
Seeing that Gu Ning had no reaction, the female ghost was quite disappointed, but it was still curious about why Gu Ning, who was a young girl, came here alone, so it followed Gu Ning all the way until the ruins of a building.
“Tell me, what do you want me to do to help you?” Gu Ning opened her mouth all of a sudden, which scared the female ghost. It asked with uncertainty, “Are you talking to me?”
“There is only you here. Whom else am I talking to?” Gu Ning said.
“Y-You can see me, right? You really can see me!” The female ghost got excited.
“Nobody dares to develop this land, and you must be the reason,” Gu Ning said. “I want this land, so I’m willing to help you as long as you can stop what you’re doing now. Well, it’s better if its not beyond my ability.”
If she couldn’t help it, she would destroy it to stop it from causing trouble. Although she thought that this female ghost wasn’t that bad, and it sounded a little cruel to destroy it, it was a ghost after all, and it wasn’t acceptable that it stayed in the world. If it wasn’t reincarnated, it must have a strong hatred or obsession that it couldn’t let go of. If Gu Ning wanted it to disappear and be reincarnated, she had to help it to solve this problem.
“Sure, as long as you can help me eliminate the grudge in my heart, I’ll disappear,” the female ghost said, and its face was full of strong hatred. It had buried animosity deep down in its heart.
“Tell me, how can I help you?” Gu Ning asked.
“My name’s Tao Dinglin, and I grew up in an orphanage, so did my boyfriend. In the beginning, we were a loving couple, and fought together for a bright future after graduating from college. Our living standards were improving as well. However, five years ago, my boyfriend sought a connection with a girl from a rich family. I wasn’t willing to break up with him, so he hired a bunch of men to rape me, which caused my death in the end. I hate him. I hate him to death. If he’s not dead yet, I’m reluctant to be reincarnated!” The female ghost was in a rage.
