The origin of Jiang Jinjiu's name is simply a misunderstanding, and more complex is a joke, no matter how you explain it, his father naturally can't get rid of it.

His father, Jiang Zhong, was a worker in a machine factory. There is no annoying style, I usually like to drink a drink, and my face must be red after drinking, and I will blow when I see someone. Speaking in a crepe, he is finally worthy of the supervision that his father once supervised.

It's just that the voice becomes louder after drinking three or two drinks, which is definitely a nuisance in public. But Jiang Zhong is a well-behaved person and never drinks during working hours.

Jiang Zhong loves Li Bai's poems, especially "Will Enter the Wine".

Whenever the moon is in the sky and the wine rises, he will chant this poem, "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not returning." You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be full of joy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon ......"

When Jiang Jinjiu was about to be born, Jiang Zhong was reciting aloud at the wine table.

After receiving the call, he rushed to the hospital as if he had no beard, and stood in front of the delivery room shaking as if the beardless Master Guan was shaking. When he heard the baby croaking to the ground, the laughter was like a human roar, and the stirring echoes were shuttling around, so that the listeners were startled, thinking that the cry of a seriously injured person made even the old man in the morgue tremble.

Jiang Zhong saw that it was a boy again, and he was so happy that he held the child with one hand and kept rummaging through his pockets with the other, just wanting to take a sip.

Naturally, he didn't have any alcohol on him, and he didn't know how to make a mess at this time, thinking that he was still at the banquet, and the doctors and nurses in front of him were co-workers, and when he stretched out his hand, he opened his mouth and said, "Wine-wine-give me wine......

The sound was like thunder, and the echo reverberated again, startling the listener again.

However, how could the doctors and nurses give him wine, and as a result, a decisive figure appeared - Jiang Zhong's brother-in-law, Jiang Jinjiu's second uncle.

When he was pouring wine on the wine table, he received a phone call, and he was in a hurry, and the half bottle of wine in his hand was put into his pocket, and it was naturally handed to Jiang Zhong at this time.

A mouthful of yellow soup went down to his stomach, and he was drunk to add a point, and he actually teased his son with a wine bottle, and said with a smile while holding his stiff tongue, "In the future, let's go together, the two of you, you will enter, and the wine-" said as he raised his neck and drank the remaining wine in the bottle.

At this time, Jiang Zhong's speech was unclear, and only the words "will enter the wine" were clearly said.

Others heard the misunderstanding...... Thanks to Li Bai's blessing, "Jiang Jin Wine" became the name of this newborn.

I don't know if it's because of the name, entering the wine, its meaning is pouring wine to persuade drinking, toasting. That is to say, if you can't get the first bite, you have to fill the other party's cup.

The most typical representative event, one is when he was in the third year of junior high school entrance examination. At that time, his grades were very good, and he was very hopeful that he would be sent to a key high school by the school authorities.

Twenty days before the exam, he was full of confidence and agreed to tutor Li Youcheng, a classmate who was known as a brother in Su Rili, and even lent Li Youcheng all the mock test papers that his aunt helped him get without reading them.

Unexpectedly, the problem lies in this set of papers, there are two very difficult high-score questions in mathematics, and Jiang Jinjiu has not read the questions when the test papers are lent. And Li Youcheng was even more careless, inadvertently mixing the paper with two questions in his paper, and gave Jiang Jinjiu an incomplete set of question papers, and neither party noticed.

Coincidentally, the high-scoring questions in the math exam were the type questions on the paper, and Jiang Jinjiu only answered one of the questions correctly and lost the score.

Unexpectedly, Li Youcheng, who has always been ranked in the dozens, performed exceptionally, and his total score was more than ten points higher than Jiang Jinjiu, and he was promoted to the second place in the class for the first time!

The nearly 20 days of counseling can be said to have contributed a lot, which is equivalent to saying that Jiang Jinjiu was stunned to teach the places in the key high schools by himself.

The second thing was in a big sweepstakes.

Jiang Jin Liquor won the first prize, 100,000 yuan. Who wants to wait for the lottery time, he went to the street stall to buy snacks, and carelessly lost the prize ticket when he paid for it. As a result, he benefited others, and he suffered more than ten days of cynicism.

The third thing happens at work.

This job is Jiang Jinjiu's third job after graduation, and he struggled for two years to be promoted to regional sales supervisor, and there are three others at the same level as him.

That year, the company planned to promote one of the four supervisors to be promoted to regional manager, with overall performance as the main consideration.

More than half a year has passed, and Jiang Jinjiu has become a candidate secretly approved by his superiors with his own efforts. Not only that, he has planned a set of high-quality plans, as long as he hands it to his superiors, he is the only one who will be promoted.

Unexpectedly, when the plan was almost completed, the company sent him to accompany the general manager on a business trip, and he went for half a month. Jiang Jinjiu had no choice but to store the plan in a USB flash drive and lock it in the company's drawer.

Unexpectedly, the lock of the drawer is an inferior product, and any key can be unlocked as long as it can be inserted into the lock hole.

When a district manager was working overtime, he accidentally opened the drawer and found that the USB flash drive saw the plan and had evil thoughts. And that district manager is not a fuel-efficient lamp, stealing beams and changing pillars and improving them, and when Jiang Jinjiu came back, the district manager had been promoted for nine days.

The overall situation has been decided, and no matter how angry he is, it will not help.

This incident hit Jiang Jinjiu a lot, and his work changed several times after that, but it didn't last long.

Facing the twelfth job loss and being abandoned by his girlfriend, he couldn't help but feel confused, melancholy, and his heart was full of frustration, and he really wanted to die.

Lost for a while, I happened to recall the words of my father when he sent him on the train, "It's hard to travel, it's hard to travel, it's too divergent, where are you now?" There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. It's okay to be a little frustrated when you're young, Dad believes in you, supports you, and goes to adventure. Jiang Jinjiu came out of the haze.

Reinvigorated, as in the past, Jiang Jinjiu looked through the recruitment columns of major newspapers. Draw a circle with a proper pen, and there is such a job posting, and his gaze has never taken his eyes off it.

The newspaper is looking for reporters with a high salary, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. Requirements, under the age of 35, male and female, educational background is not limited, only the general or above writing ability is required.

Contact number: XXXXXXXXXXX; Contact: Ms. Zhao;

10,000 yuan!? I'm going to go!

Jiang Jinjiu rubbed his eyes, didn't believe his eyes at all, and counted them one by one.

Thinking that a reporter's basic salary is 10,000 yuan, I have never heard of such a thing.

Look at the size of this information bar is only three inches the size of a photo, two fingers can cover it, can it be said that there is a cat hidden inside!?

But the monthly salary of 10,000 yuan was really a temptation, so he couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial the number above.

The phone rang for thirty seconds before it was connected, and the other party was a man, and his voice seemed to have just woken up, with a curse in his mouth.

Jiang Jinjiu felt faintly uneasy, explained his intention to the other party, and the other party asked a few questions.

The first few were normal, but the last question puzzled him - are you afraid of ghosts?

Although it feels ominous, it is necessary to go for a high-paying job.

The next day, Jiang Jinjiu went to the interview with his resume.

The newspaper office was hard to find, and after asking ten taxi drivers, only one of the older brothers knew the section of the road, but did not know the exact location.

After arriving there, Jiang Jinjiu asked eight passers-by, only to find an old man who knew, pointed and pointed, and it took him more than ten minutes to find the newspaper.

Tucked away in the corner of the neighborhood is an old government office building with three floors and six windows on each floor, formerly a police station.

There are willow trees planted around, each tree is very thick, some trees cannot hold the waist of a person, the height of the tree is almost level with the roof, and the youngest tree is less than twenty years old. Its branches and foliage are luxuriant, and the dark green willow is thick and soft like a girl's long hair, almost covering the building.

From a distance, you can barely see the roof cover, and there is a rockery and a pavilion 20 meters ahead, and those who don't know will think that this is an artificial scenic spot. Even if you notice the number of cars parked in front of the willow tree, it is not easy to notice the hidden building.

The newspaper office is surrounded by high-rise buildings with more than six floors, with a spacing of about 30 meters, and it is more like some kind of equipment building in the community without a sign, so it is no wonder that few people know about the existence of the newspaper.

Jiang Jinjiu doubted whether this newspaper was legitimate, otherwise how could it be so hidden.

He looked at it for a while, and felt as if there was water vapor in his eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more dazzled he became.

A gust of hot wind blows, mixed with the smell of burnt iron plates, and then I realize that the scorching sun burns those wagons, making the temperature around them rise and make people feel hot.

Seeing the rich shade of the tree, Jiang Jinjiu couldn't help but walk under the tree.

The willows are like curtains, as if a barrier separates the scorching heat of the world, and the whole body suddenly feels refreshed. It's like jumping into warm water at 36 degrees, and your skin won't be irritated by the slightest temperature difference. Then the water absorbs the heat from the body, until the water temperature and body temperature are almost the same, and then the water temperature slowly drops to 20 degrees, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Jiang Jinjiu stood and enjoyed it for a while, and the heat disappeared. Then I felt that the sweat-soaked shirt was getting colder and colder, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to my back, especially when the breeze blew.

The bizarre thing is that the wind blowing on the bare feet is warm, so cold and hot, but colder, Jiang Jinjiu's goosebumps all over his body rose, and his scalp was numb.

"You don't need to install air conditioning." Jiang Jinjiu muttered in his heart.

Seeing that it was about the same time, he took out his resume and walked into the building.

In the mailroom at the door sat a white-bearded old man who looked to be in his sixties, who was reading the newspaper intently at the moment, and did not notice Jiang Jinjiu who walked in and looked around.

Jiang Jinjiu knocked on the door and window, and only then did he take off his reading glasses and raise his yellowed eyes to take a look.

"What's the matter?"

The old man's voice was clear, but very indifferent, just like his attitude. His eyes only stayed on Jiang Jinjiu for two seconds, and then he put on his reading glasses and continued to read the newspaper.

"I'm here for an interview, may I ask ......?"

"Turn left on the third floor."

The old man didn't raise his head and said a word, which made Jiang Jinjiu stunned.

I thought to myself why this old man who was the gatekeeper was so irresponsible, and the person who came didn't register. After thinking about it, what his old man ate was originally an idle meal, and mixing it for a day was a day.

Jiang Jinjiu thanked him and walked to the third floor.

But the closer he got to the third floor, the more Jiang Jinjiu felt that this place did not look like a newspaper office.

How could a big newspaper office be so quiet, so quiet that the dripping sound of the faucet lingered in the hallway. Shouldn't newspapers be about grabbing the sky? Why can't you even see a ghost now?

With a lot of questions, he went to the "President's Office", the designated place for interviews.

This is another question, the president should be busy, and the interview should be carried out in person, and the personnel department is also dry? It was really puzzling to him.

Looking at the wooden door of the president's office, even if it has been repainted, it is difficult to hide the ravines on it. Is it so old, is the newspaper so poor that it clangs? But if you can afford a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, it shouldn't be bad. Could it be that it is a thrifty style, and the president is an honest old cadre?

A solemn feeling came to his heart, Jiang Jinjiu tidied up his appearance, took a few deep breaths, moved his chin, reviewed his resume, and knocked lightly on the door after feeling right.

In response, a very deep voice came "Enter".

Jiang Jinjiu pushed open the door, and with the airflow pulled by the door panel, he smelled a strange smell. It's a bit like camellia with durian, or the smell of perfume sprayed on a dog's body, maybe it's fragrant or smelly, and maybe it's disgust or liking.

Jiang Jinjiu didn't bother to study it carefully, and walked straight in.

The office space is not small, only one less podium than an elementary school classroom. The window is diagonally facing the door, and there is a coffee table in front of the window, and a double leather sofa on each side. The remaining three walls are made into bookshelves, filled with various books.

Near the center of the office sits a large mahogany desk, behind which sits an emaciated, middle-aged man. The white shirt looked a little loose on his body, his hair was half-white, his skin was not shiny at all, and his lips were almost the same color as his sallow complexion. The rough eyebrows and two whiskers were gray, and Jiang Jinjiu thought that this person was a drug addict, not a president.

But he is indeed the president of this newspaper - Qin Zhenyang.

"Hello, I'm here for the interview."

"You may be seated."

Jiang Jinjiu walked to the desk and bowed slightly, handed over his resume and put it where Qin Zhenyang could see his head down, and then sat down on the chair gently.

Qin Zhenyang didn't look at his resume, but leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands with his thumbs, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "I am the president of this newspaper, Qin Zhenyang, do you know what kind of reporter you want to invite?" ”

"Yikes! Why am I so sloppy, I didn't ask clearly about the content of the work" Jiang Jin was annoyed and nervous.

Thinking that it was better to tell the truth than to talk nonsense on the fly, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not clear, I didn't elaborate on the phone." ”

Seeing that the corners of Qin Zhenyang's mouth were slightly raised, looking like a satisfied smile, Jiang Jinjiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zhenyang said slowly: "The reporter who investigated the bizarre incident. ”

Jiang Jinjiu looked a little stunned, "What does President Qin mean?" ”

"Speaking in the vernacular...... It's to go to the haunted place and figure out why it's haunted and what the antecedents are. Qin Zhenyang said with a smile, "If necessary, you need to spend the night there, are you bold?" ”

"This ......" Jiang Jinjiu was asked.

It's not difficult to ask about haunted places, but when I hear the word overnight, I suddenly feel worried, and I don't have any experience in this area.

However, there is a good saying that "money can make ghosts grind", let alone people.

Jiang Jinjiu is already so poor that it is almost a problem to eat, if he can get this high-paying job, what is the risk. What's more, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and thinks about how much of a situation can happen.

Jiang Jinjiu patted his thigh and said, "If you want to say that people are scary, I can't attract them, that thing can't scare me." ”

"Well, that's good." Qin Zhenyang was not moved by his spirit in the slightest, nodded and asked, "Do you have time tonight?" ”

"Yes! Anytime, on call. Jiang Jinjiu was overjoyed for a while, thinking that eighty percent of the work was done.

"Do you bring a photo?"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Jinjiu flipped out the photo with a smile and handed it over.

Qin Zhenyang took it, took out a document from the drawer, took out the card inside, and asked while pasting the photo, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Jiang Jin Wine, the river of the river, the advance of the river, the wine of liquor."

"Jiang into the wine, will enter the wine, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon."

Qin Zhenyang muttered and wrote his name on the card, and the standard italics on one hand were like those printed by the computer. I put the written card in the plastic film, wrote another note, and finally took out two keys from the drawer and placed them on the table.

"This is your press card for the time being, and you're going to go to the note tonight...... Spend the night in a haunted house, preferably undetected. Tomorrow morning I want you to come with a manuscript, qualified, our official reporter here, if you hand in a white stamp, you give it to the mailroom, you don't have to come up again, understand. The last two words were spoken in a heavy voice.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Zhenyang's eyes became sharp, and the state of the whole person was vibrated with it, and in an instant, an invisible aura seemed to rise around his body, as if there were more than a dozen people standing beside him, turning into a majestic leader.

Jiang Jinjiu touched his eyes, and suddenly remembered the feeling of being empty and scared when he made a mistake when he was a teenager and stood in front of the training director.

"Clear, understood." Jiang Jinjiu nodded respectfully, feeling a little overwhelmed.

He really didn't expect to go through a special test, and he didn't even have the time to think about it, the room to negotiate, or even the time to prepare.

And...... The test turned out to be a haunted house.
