123: I think he's not as handsome as the boss.

"New locations will be available soon."

"When they are, I'll arrange one for you and one for the Zombie."

Hearing the Red Spirit's words, Li Zhou said with a smile.

He was quite satisfied with the Red Spirit and the Zombie's enthusiasm.

He estimated that by tomorrow at the latest, he would have accumulated ten million fright value.

Basic locations were very cheap, only costing one hundred thousand fright value to purchase.

After upgrading the Haunted House, he would first buy all the basic locations.

"That's good."

"Boss, then I'll get busy now."

Hearing that new locations like the castle would be arranged soon, the Red Spirit's lips curled into a smile.

For her, there were only two most important things right now.

One was not to violate the Haunted House's rules and get fired.

Second was to work hard to earn more salary.

Salary was very important to the Zombie, and equally so to her.

Turning around, the Red Spirit left the lounge.

When she wasn't scaring people, she would usually lead players who had finished their challenge to the lounge.

Just like before.

After bringing players to the lounge, she would immediately leave again.

Li Zhou had created a changing room in the lounge, and her presence there would affect the players.

Li Zhou glanced at the players, then also left.

Although they were all men, he thought it best not to be present while they changed their pants.

Soon, it was almost noon.

The number of players coming to the Haunted House gradually decreased.

After arranging for the last player to sign the agreement, Fang Xiaolu wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Ever since Song Yang's live stream, the Haunted House's business had been getting better and better.

If this were before, she would still be sound asleep in her dorm right now.

"Xiao Lu, come here for a moment."

Just as Fang Xiaolu took out her phone, ready to order takeout to treat herself, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.

Turning around, Li Zhou's figure came into view.

Behind him, Dai Xiaomei stood in place, smiling and waving at her.

"Boss, what's up?"

Putting away her phone, Fang Xiaolu walked over, a little confused.

"I need to tell you two something."

Li Zhou took out his phone and displayed the photo Chen Chuan had sent him.

"Oh, Boss, who is this?"

"Is he your friend? He looks a bit handsome."

Dai Xiaomei, who had also been called over by Li Zhou, didn't yet know why he had summoned her.

Upon seeing the young man smiling brightly at the camera on the phone, her eyes lit up, and she teased him.

"Handsome?"

Hearing her words, a strange look appeared in Li Zhou's eyes.

On the other side, Fang Xiaolu stood on her tiptoes.

After seeing the photo, she shook her head.

"I don't think he's as handsome as the Boss."

Well said!

Li Zhou rubbed Xiao Lu's head, a look of appreciation on his face.

His own employee had good taste after all.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, his expression froze.

No, the direction seemed a bit off.

Shaking his head, he withdrew his hand and looked at the two in front of him, saying, "During this time, pay attention. If you see this guy in the photo among the incoming players, remember to tell me."

"Boss, who is he?"

"Why should we pay attention to him?"

Hearing Li Zhou's words, a hint of confusion flashed in both Dai Xiaomei and Fang Xiaolu's eyes.

"Nothing, just do as I say."

"Remember, after seeing him, don't mind him, and don't go up to talk to him. Just treat him like any other player."

To avoid revealing any flaws if they saw the young man in the photo, Li Zhou did not disclose his true identity.

It wasn't that he didn't care about their safety.

Telling them was just to make them pay a little attention.

If this guy really dared to come, he had someone else in mind to deal with him.

"Oh, got it."

Fang Xiaolu nodded, not asking any more questions.

She had always blindly followed Li Zhou's instructions.

However, Dai Xiaomei on the other side narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

She smelled something unusual.

Why shouldn't they go up to talk to him?

And why did they have to specifically notify him after seeing him?

Could it be that this was a friend of the Boss, and he wanted to give him a surprise?

"What are you thinking? Did you hear what I just said?"

Just as Dai Xiaomei was pondering, Li Zhou's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Ah, I... I heard it."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Dai Xiaomei quickly said, but the suspicion in her eyes still hadn't faded.

Li Zhou glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.

Why did this girl look a little off?

Never mind, Officer Chen had said that the murderer would only act in an environment similar to a secret room.

As long as he dared to come, Xiao Lu would notify him immediately.

He also didn't have to worry about her causing any trouble.

Shaking his head, Li Zhou didn't say much more.

After asking Fang Xiaolu to order him a takeout meal as well, he turned and walked towards the monitoring room as usual.

Now, in the entire Haunted House, only the castle didn't require his constant attention.

Other areas, however, had to be watched daily.

As the Boss, he oversaw everything.

For example, the situation in the lounge earlier.

If he hadn't been in the monitoring room, he really wouldn't have noticed it immediately.

"Xiao Lu, your Boss asked you to order takeout, but he doesn't transfer money to you?"

Watching Li Zhou's retreating figure, Dai Xiaomei composed herself.

Looking at Fang Xiaolu, who was fiddling with her phone, she leaned closer and asked curiously.

She had seen Li Zhou tell Fang Xiaolu to buy things more than once before, but he had never transferred money.

"Transfer money, transfer what money?"

"My Boss doesn't have any money."

Hearing Dai Xiaomei's question, Fang Xiaolu looked up, blinking innocently.

"No money?"

"How is that possible!"

Dai Xiaomei crossed her arms, disbelievingly.

What a joke, a Boss with no money?

Not to mention anything else, just the money from tickets sold to players these past few days must have been at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand.

"Xiao Lu, you can't be too good to your Boss. I'm telling you, all bosses in the world are..."

Dai Xiaomei, thinking Xiao Lu was being exploited, was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by Fang Xiaolu.

"All my Boss's money is with me."

"Of course he doesn't have any money."

Fang Xiaolu said frankly, her tone serious.

Hearing this, Dai Xiaomei was stunned.

"He keeps his money with you?"

"What does that mean?"

"All the Haunted House's revenue is on my phone. I used to transfer it to the Boss every day, but he found it too troublesome, so he just left it with me."

"If he wants to buy anything, he just tells me."

Fang Xiaolu explained.

At this, Dai Xiaomei was even more astonished.

She had never heard of any Boss keeping his money with an employee.

Didn't he worry that Xiao Lu would run off with the money?
