Su Zhen had barely graduated from college when three troubles came his way:
1. His dad ran off, leaving him with a mountain of gambling debts.
2. The internet industry was in a deep freeze, and his job applications went nowhere.
3. He could see ghosts, and one of them talked him into becoming the admissions director of some obscure underworld college.
He looked at the computer lab, which had only two computers, the professors who couldn't use Word, PowerPoint, or Excel, the receptionist who kept the books on an abacus, and the so-called plaques of honor. No, wait, they were honorary presidents...
Su Zhen: Is this a real university?
Jiang Qi: I'll advance you 300,000 to pay off your debts.
Su Zhen: I'll start today!
As it turned out, Dr. Jiang's judgment was spot-on.
No students? Director Su takes on every job he can, turning suspected ghosts into model college students!
No campus? Director Su visits a haunted house three times and gets a luxurious top-floor apartment for free!
No funding? Director Su pulls an all-nighter streaming online. His "Down-and-Out Programmer Catches Ghosts Live" channel gains 100,000 followers overnight...
Later, one university exploded onto the global rankings of the Underworld.
In just one year, it went from an obscure third-tier college to one of the world's top 100!
At the fervent request of leading figures from all walks of life, an underworld envoy went to great lengths to interview one of the university's postdocs.
Underworld Envoy: How did your university achieve such an incredible feat?
Jiang Qi: My university had nothing to do with it. It was all thanks to my boyfriend.
The next day, Underworld University of Science and Technology topped the mortal world's trending searches:
#Good news for Chinese people who didn't get into college! You can still attend this university after you die
#The ranking of must-visit universities in the afterlife is out, and Underworld Tech ranks first in the world
#That postdoc spoils the admissions director so much. Please give me a dozen boyfriends like him, thanks
Su Zhen: Uh, did I go a little too hard on my first job?
Jiang Qi: Hmm? Does it hurt?
Su Zhen: I didn't mean you went too hard!

Doesn't this sever the relationship between father and son? This Lao Deng didn't go to find someone to settle the score even if he was deceived?
Doesn't this mean severing the relationship? These parents are morally kidnapped, one is a bad guy and the other is a good guy. Can you stop looking for reasons to control them in the future?
I suspect that Brother Dong drugged Brother Brother, because he felt that his brother had always been a fool, so nothing he did was surprising. Therefore, he used a design to let Brother Brother know about the evil arts, or to mix the drinking person into it. It happened that the gangster was pestering Brother Brother, so he found a man. Opportunity tied them together, and then used money to treat her mother's illness. But logically, the younger brother should take care of her mother, but because the younger brother is in school, the elder brother has to resign. The elder brother's salary should be quite high (as a competition coach, I feel it is really high), and then I feel unbalanced.
"As expected, his sister transferred the account to me..." This is a big bug for the author~ Transferred the account
"It's not enough to work overtime" is a big bug for the author~
"Shanghai" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ damage
Can we let go of this father? Bao 😭 He has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father since he was a child. Now he thinks about having a son. To be honest, what if the one who comes here is not a good person? He can beat up ghosts. If he is a bad guy and deceives people into working on the surface but for other reasons, such as luck or longevity, doesn't that mean he has sold the protagonist directly? [Angry]
I don't know what's going on, but it makes me feel a little angry for no reason.
Good job, come on!!!
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
