16: Underworld Selection

Shang Wan Ning was enjoying the Braised Pork in her bowl. Ever since the company started promoting the Underworld app, the dishes on the dining table had never been the same—these delicacies were offerings from believers, and even if they couldn't be finished, they could be given as rewards to subordinates.

Various spices and cooking wine perfectly combined, successfully masking the gamey smell of the pork belly.

The Tomato Stewed Beef on the plate had fully absorbed the essence of the sauce. Taking a bite, her mouth was filled with a rich sweet and sour flavor.

"Ling Qi!"

"BOSS, please give your instructions!" Ling Qi, standing by the dining table, responded respectfully.

"These dishes are very much to my taste. Make a note of them! After the chef passes away, if his merits meet the standard, give him a position and let him become my personal chef."

"Understood! BOSS." Ling Qi nodded expressionlessly.

Just then, a knock came. Shang Wan Ning heard it, immediately waved her hand, cleared the food from the table, and straightened her formal attire. "Please come in!"

You Yu walked into the office, holding a thick stack of documents, and placed them on Shang Wan Ning's desk. He panted and said, "BOSS! We have successfully recruited 361 employees for 84 positions, and all positions have been filled."

Shang Wan Ning calmly nodded, pulled a few resumes from the pile, casually flipped through them, and then put them back.

Secretary-General Ling Qi stood aside, asking with a puzzled expression, "BOSS! Why does the company need to recruit humans? Isn't it more cost-effective to use ghost messengers?"

Shang Wan Ning raised an eyebrow and smiled, pointing to the documents on the table, then leisurely leaned back in her boss's chair, spinning it.

She said softly, "If we don't recruit human employees, how can Xia Kingdom send people to understand the Underworld's operating model?"

You Yu curiously picked up the resumes of Lin Ran, Xie Chi, Nie Xingyuan, and others. After reading them carefully, he slapped his thigh, suddenly enlightened, and said, "So that's it! After cooperating with Xia Kingdom, these human employees can be supervised by Xia Kingdom..."

However, before You Yu could finish, Ling Qi interjected, "This way, Xia Kingdom can pay the salaries, and the Underworld can reduce costs and administrative complexities."

"Indeed, this plan satisfies Xia Kingdom's needs and benefits the Underworld," Shang Wan Ning clapped her hands, a relieved smile on her face, then continued: "Very good! Your recent studies in finance must be paying off! Your incense offerings can be doubled next month!"

"Thank you for the BOSS's praise. This is all due to the Underworld's cultivation and support for us..." What followed was a ten-thousand-word, flowery flattery, which will not be elaborated on here... Shang Wan Ning watched Ling Qi seriously utter those flattering words, her eye twitching uncontrollably. However, she also understood why bosses liked to be flattered; the feeling was indeed very satisfying!

"Alright, that's enough. Don't praise me anymore. Save some, lest you run out of words next time." Shang Wan Ning gestured for the two of them to stop flattering.

"Understood, BOSS!"

"Ling Qi, arrange their work. Lin Ran from the Criminal Police Department, let her be my chief assistant! As for Xie Chi, he's a forensic doctor and handsome, so arrange him for the live streaming department.

And Nie Xingyuan, he's from a military background, so giving him the position of Security Department Chief should be no problem..."

Ling Qi nodded in understanding, quickly left the office, and efficiently carried out the BOSS's instructions... "Hello, little darlings in the live stream! Welcome to the Underworld Selection live stream, I'm your super cute host—star!"

Wang Gang made a heart shape with his right hand while enthusiastically greeting the audience in front of the screen.

At this moment, the star on the screen displayed a standard melon seed face, a slightly high nose bridge, paired with a pair of watery big eyes, making her exceptionally charming.

The exquisite light makeup, combined with ten levels of beauty filter, made the entire live stream full of charm.

As the Underworld's broadcast notification sounded, fans poured into the live stream, and within minutes, the popularity quickly soared to millions.

"Naughty Braids Brother: Wow, what a beautiful young lady, I'm going to lick the screen! *slurp slurp!*

Sweatcloth Grab: Is this an Underworld female ghost??

Garbage-picking Ke~Lei wants to sleep: If all the Underworld's young ladies are this sexy, then I wouldn't mind turning gay! 〃∀〃"

Sea Beast Priest Jin: Upstairs, your pants are falling off! This is clearly Miss Star, the game streamer the Underworld just poached from Douyin!..."

Wang Gang saw the popularity rise to tens of millions, skillfully ignoring some viewers whose pants were flying off.

He began to introduce today's Underworld Selection products.

"Ta-da! Darlings! Today's first Underworld product—the Warning Talisman is here!"

Star held up the Warning Talisman to the camera, showing it to the audience, "This Warning Talisman is our Underworld's exclusive product! Just stick it on your door or window, and if evil spirits invade, the Warning Talisman will sound an alarm to remind you to be safe.

Moreover, it can also be customized with patterns! For example, you can print your own photo on it, making it even more personalized!"

After seeing the effect of the Warning Talisman, the audience left comments expressing their desire to purchase it.

Wang Gang said with a smile, "Don't worry, darlings, today is the first day of broadcast! The Underworld Selection live stream has a special offer!

Buy two, get one free! Any product in the entire store is just 99.99 incense value. Order two products tonight, and the third one will be given to you for free!

Alright! Without further ado, please welcome our Underworld young man to put up the second product—the Calming Talisman!"

As soon as Wang Gang finished speaking, an Underworld staff member walked in front of the camera with the Calming Talisman. Dressed in a black suit, tall and with a stern face, he caused many female viewers to shriek.

"Seawater Magnesia: Wow, so handsome!

Cotton Bobo Candy: Is this an Underworld staff member? He's too handsome!

Abs equals infinite happiness: Ahhh! I want to buy the Calming Talisman, young man, look at me!"

Wang Gang looked at the bullet comments and smiled sweetly, "Dear sisters, this ghost messenger young man is not only handsome but also a senior civil servant of the Underworld!

The Calming Talisman in his hand is certified by the Underworld and can bless everyone to remain calm and safe when encountering mental-type ghosts.

Don't miss out!"

You Pan 'snapped' his shirt open with ghost power, showing off his eight-pack abs to the audience, muttering, "Hehe, this ghost messenger's abs are top-notch. Sisters who want the Calming Talisman, come quickly!"
