Anti-baldness Alliance:

Zhang Qingqing:【Link: Local headline: Several cars in the Ancient Well district suddenly lost control, nearly crashing into passersby, but fortunately a large disaster was avoided】

Zhang Qingqing:【You guys look at this news, it happened right next to the place where I'm interning. I happened upon it when I was almost at the company this morning and was so scared】

Zhu Yan:【Frightened.jpg, you weren't hurt right?】

Zhang Qingqing:【No, I was just really scared】

Classmate A:【Multiple cars lost control at the same time? How can something be so strange?】

Hou Guangzong:【No way, I'm at Qingqing's company right now, but luckily I missed it】

Zhang Qingqing:【Ah? How come you're at our company?】

Hou Guangzong:【Haha, it's nothing much. I'm at Qingqing's company today with my project manager to discuss a collaboration. Didn't think we'd run into this situation】

Hou Guangzong:【@Zhang Qingqing, when I finish it should be around noon, we can grab lunch together】

Classmate A:【Wow, Guangzong is so impressive, already going out for collaboration talks while still an intern? 】

Hou Guangzong:【It's nothing, my company is just kind to me. This time the other party is an executive at Qingqing's company, so I'll be able to learn a lot】

Hou Guangzong:【Selfie.jpg, this is my equipment for today, first time seeing a client, can't lose face for the company】

Classmate A:【Envious......】

As he was chatting, Hou Guangzong started to cue Yu Zhengdu again:

Hou Guangzong:【@Yu Zhengdu, oh right, Zhengdu, you really aren't coming to Nova? I looked up the company you're currently working at online, it's a bit small, what a waste for you to go there】

Hou Guangzong:【Look, I can even personally meet an executive at Ox Factory even though I'm only an intern at Nova. I think it would be better for you to stop wasting your time at such a small company】

......

Yu Zhengdu just arrived at the company and hadn't started working yet. He was eating breakfast while scrolling through WeChat, simply ignoring Hou Guangzong's comments and instead opening the news article Zhang Qingqing linked:

Local headline: During this morning's rush hour, several small cars driving down the Ancient Well district's main road suddenly lost control, automatically speeding up and straying from the normal path, almost causing a traffic accident. Fortunately, everything returned to normal after the mild disturbance. All drivers involved reported they were unclear of what happened; according to inspection results, the cars' functions were all normal. The cause of the incident is still under investigation.

He was only halfway through the news when he saw Lu Lingxi stand up and call for two of their coworkers. "Qu Lv, Chen Yangli, you two head out with Boss for an outside the office trip."

Yu Zhengdu looked up curiously and asked, "Our company has need for outside the office trips?"

Lu Lingxi glanced at him, saying, "There was a ghost at the Ancient Well reincarnation point who refused to reincarnate, and even urged a few other ghosts to escape too. They commandeered several humans who were in the middle of driving and almost caused an enormous catastrophe. We need to take care of the situation."

Yu Zhengdu: "......"

He looked at Lu Lingxi, then at the news on his phone, and almost spat out the breakfast in his mouth.
