George Man is really seeing ghosts! Yesterday, news came from the factory side, another employee jumped from the building. This is already the third jumping incident this year, if we don't find a solution, this matter will be exposed sooner or later, and the factory will definitely lose its reputation.

  "Ring ......" the phone rang untimely, George Wen grabbed the phone and yelled: "Add money, add two hundred dollars a person, don't jump in the building, go back and tell them to add money!"

  "No, boss", secretary Wang's voice trembled as he continued to report "another one died."

  This time it was a pregnant woman who couldn't work because she was pregnant and didn't want to leave the factory, so George Wen simply fired her and didn't even give her the dirty staff quarters to live in, which made the poor woman jump off the building.

  The original had given up George Wen suddenly burst out of hatred, he personally went to the factory inspection, pretending to comfort the families of the deceased, announced a large pension to help bury the deceased, and promised that after the production of this batch of products tested and qualified, all field employees sent home in a chartered car, paid full months off.

  The jumping incident was finally successfully covered up until it was solved, because the employees who were sent home by chartered bus died in various "traffic accidents", and the families who had not yet received large pensions could not find the bones of their families left in the mountains and forests.

  Looking at the resumed factory, George Wen is very satisfied, so much so that it took a long time to find a lot of things become strange. First of all, there were people going crazy in the factory from time to time, and the janitor on duty late at night also changed one after another because of the cries of inexplicable women. Customers began to complain constantly about the serious color difference of the products produced, and no matter what color was customized, the goods received were bloody red.

  Strange things are still happening, tormenting George Wen nerves, and the heart of that fear, but also with the intensive and strange changes with each passing day.

  This day, he was still pacing back and forth in the house when a woman rang the doorbell of the mansion. She claimed to be a bellhop called by his wife to clean up the house.

  George Wen impatiently instructed a few words, turned into the bathroom to smoke.

  Before the cigarette was half smoked, he remembered the cleaning lady. Although it was a harsh winter, but also wrapped too tight, and did not bring any cleaning tools, not to mention the same as the previous bellboy accident housekeeping company's certificate.

  Noticing that something is wrong, he threw away his cigarette and walked out of the bathroom, the home in front of him had changed. Although things are neatly arranged, but there are irregular blood-red spots everywhere, like a bizarre crime scene.

  The bellboy looked up at the stunned George Wen, grinning with a blood-red mouth containing broken teeth, hand covering the head wound, kept apologizing: "Boss Qiao, I'm really sorry na, this blood really can't be stopped." The dead and unapologetic face was clearly that of the dead pregnant woman.

  She stretched out a finger and said playfully, "The first warning, your wife, the next moment will die!"

  George Wen shakily raised the ashtray on the coffee table and smashed it at the woman, who sneered and did not dodge at all, watching the ashtray penetrate her body and fly out of the window without resistance, followed by a muffled sound from the window.

  George Wen hurriedly and frantically ran to the window. Outside the window, not far from the door, his wife fell on her back on the snow, the wound on her forehead bleeding little by little, the vegetables in her hand scattered on the ground, the transparent ashtray in the snow reflected a blinding light, shining straight into George Wen's heart.

  He was so scared that his face went white, grabbed the car keys and ran out of the house to get his wife to the hospital as fast as possible.

  The woman looked at the empty house, the corners of her mouth flooded with a cruel smile, sinister and evil. A piece of white paper in front of her flew straight into the locked safe and locked it with a gatling sound. In the bathroom, the unburned cigarette lit the first cluster of fire in the damp home.

  The uncharacteristic traffic jam on the road drove George Man's nerves to the brink of collapse, and he ignored the lights and ignored the one- and two-way streets, speeding up amidst the curses of passersby and drivers.

  Suddenly, he noticed through the rearview mirror that his wife, who was lying in the back seat of the car, had sat up, and with a wink, he turned back to his wife, who, with round eyes and the same teasing tone as the woman, held out two fingers and whispered, "The second one, it's your son."

  A chill rose in George Wen's heart, an emergency brake, yelling, "What, you fucking say that again!"

  Seeing his wife fall down again, George Wen was so frightened that he was about to open the door and run out, when he saw all the passers-by gathered around and kept tapping on the car window.

  George Wen turned around, wide-eyed, in front of the car window, it was his son who was hit by himself and flew up, his son's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were full of pain and resentment.

  ......

  Three days later, George Wen's nephew held a grand funeral for the three members of the Qiao family in front of the Qiao mansion, which was burnt to rubble. When he was secretly pleased to take over all of his uncle's factories and property, he accidentally discovered that the safe deposit box contained a will that his uncle had already made, and all of his property was divided among the factory employees, while the piles of cash in the safe deposit box, all of which had become plutonium with charms painted on them, quietly accompanied him on his way.
