The Paranormal Company: I Arbitrate for Vengeful Ghosts

Lu Xingzhou worked in HR for three years, nitpicking wording and avoiding risks for his company, only to be fired for "refusing to follow management's instructions."

In his fourth month of unemployment, he received a job offer from the "Eternal Night Human Resources Group." The onboarding materials listed one item: three candles.

Only on his first day did he learn the truth: the company was the afterlife's central hub for processing souls. Every candidate he interviewed was a real vengeful ghost, and for a yin-yang contract to take effect, a living witness had to sign it.

The final page of every contract stated: If the witness dies, the signed contract remains in force forever. So the company couldn't kill him, but it had plenty of ways to wear him down until he died.

The ghosts wanted to eat him, his supervisor wanted to frame him, and the HR director both admired and feared him. Only he knew what the boss feared most wasn't Zhong Kui's ghost-hunting order. It was someone opening Article Zero of the General Regulations and asking:

"May I ask who defined the word 'boss'?"

Others entered rule-based horror stories by running away. He got through them by picking apart the rules one by one.

After all, what had always driven ghosts to the brink wasn't a peachwood sword.

It was "pursuant to Article 39 of the Labor Contract Law."
