“What does it matter to you whether I can do it or not? Who are you to stand here and criticize me? I won’t catch ghosts, but I can definitely handle perverts. Do you want to try my ‘Overlord Yin-kick’? I won’t believe it unless I kick you so hard you can’t take care of yourself, Lin!” Grace Lincoln glared and said.

Chapter 6 Godmother and Godson

“My name is Emily Warren, I’m the HR manager of the Underworld Affairs Bureau. You can call me Manager Warren.

Starting today, you will officially become a reserve investigator for the Underworld Affairs Bureau, temporarily enjoying the status of a temp worker. Once your performance meets the standard, you can take the regularization exam at the end of the year.

If you pass the exam, you’ll become a full-time employee of the Underworld Affairs Bureau, enjoying all employee benefits and a fair and just promotion system.

This opportunity is rare. This year, the Bureau only has one spot for a temp to become permanent, and currently your only competitor is him.” As Manager Warren spoke, she pointed at Jason Grant. “As for the relevant materials and things to pay attention to, your partner Jason Grant will explain them to you later.”

“Manager Warren, maybe you misunderstood. I don’t really want to do ghost-catching work. If it’s one of those clerical jobs outside, I could accept that.” Grace Lincoln said awkwardly.

“Clerical jobs don’t pay as well as frontline investigators, but if you like sitting in an office, I can make that happen for you. However, you still have to pass the regularization exam first.” Emily Warren nodded in agreement.

“Do I really have to catch ghosts? Then I’m sorry, I don’t think this job is suitable for me.” Grace Lincoln politely stood up and extended her hand to Emily Warren. It was a lady’s farewell, but Emily Warren, sitting in her seat, just stared at her and ignored the hand hanging in midair.

“Silly girl… Do you know why your godmother can sit in the HR manager’s seat at the Underworld Affairs Bureau? Because no one has ever refused her invitation. Even if you become a ghost and go to the underworld, she can summon your soul back to grind for her, then withhold your salary, and force you to jump off a tower crane and die again.” Jason Grant sighed on the side.

“Jason Grant, out. I have some private matters to discuss with Miss Lincoln.” Emily Warren waved at Jason Grant.

Helplessly, Jason Grant left the office, closing the door behind him. In the outer office area, the busy clerks were still busy, and no one noticed his presence at all. Look at this group, wearing high-end shirts, drinking Starbucks, constantly making phone calls—do they look like ghost catchers at all?

But they are the most important part of the Underworld Affairs Bureau—the Ghost Hunter Search Team. They collect all kinds of strange events and people across the country: Taoist priests, magicians, psychics, diviners, sorcerers, shamans, witches, black magic practitioners—anyone with supernatural powers becomes their target.

Then, the Bureau’s interview invitation will be delivered to them in various ways, ensuring they walk into the office behind Jason Grant within the specified time. And in the first year, half of these people will die in places they never wanted to die…

Jason Grant also became a member of the Bureau this way. He was just lucky—eight years have passed, and he still hasn’t found the place that would cost him his life.

A senior once told him he was a born ghost catcher, and he should have been made a full investigator from the moment he joined.

Unfortunately… this is a government agency, and everything is about rules and regulations. Jason Grant’s education didn’t meet the standard for full-time employees. What blocked him from the regularization exam wasn’t the level of evil ghosts he caught, but the dense English letters on the test paper.

That’s right, his reading ability is as bad as the Chinese football team’s footwork. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pass the CET-4 English exam. In eight years, he’s caught enough ghosts to fill a whole neighborhood, but he still can’t shake off his temp status.

And so, he’s become the longest-serving temp in the history of the Underworld Affairs Bureau. Thanks to heaven’s blessing, the Bureau responded to society’s call and started a plan to eliminate all temp workers. There’s only one full-time spot, and in the whole city, Jason Grant is the only temp left.

It almost feels like the position was made just for him, but for Jason Grant, it’s the best thing that could happen. Eight years, and finally, he’s about to see the day when the daughter-in-law becomes the mother-in-law.

Who would have thought? Just then, the Bureau brought in another young girl, and she’s a top student. Isn’t this obviously making trouble for him?

Jason Grant helplessly took a big piece of bubble gum from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing as he tasted the coldness of the world.

Ten minutes later, the tightly closed door opened from the inside. Emily Warren personally escorted Grace Lincoln out. Grace Lincoln was crying like a weeping statue, bowing repeatedly to Emily Warren, almost kneeling in gratitude, as if she’d met her savior.

Emily Warren patted Grace Lincoln on the shoulder, comforting her, “Just work hard and serve the country well in the future. What I’ve done for you is nothing at all.”

“She did it again… the HR manager with a perfect recruitment record.” Watching the scene, Jason Grant sighed helplessly.

“Jason Grant, come in for a moment. I have a secret mission for you.” Emily Warren said as she returned to her office.

The blinds were drawn, sentimental music played, the lights were dim, and there were two wine glasses on the table… When Jason Grant entered the office again, he saw a completely different scene.
