Chapter 0038 – Underground Parking Lot
Uncle Xu was genuinely doing Chen Ge a favor and didn’t hide anything, laying everything out on the table, “Now do you still want to put money into the haunted house?”
”I think we can give it a try, after all, that paradise hasn’t been built, we still have a chance to flip it.” Chen Ge’s reliance was the black cell phone, something he certainly wouldn’t tell anyone else.
”You’re a kid who usually looks quite smart, how come you’re a jerk when it comes to critical moments? Do you understand the general trend? I’ve been in this paradise for ten years, I don’t have to be worse than you in terms of feelings, but we also have to recognize the reality.” Uncle Xu pointed to several entertainment facilities in the park that had stopped running, “Do you know why they stopped running? It’s not because the overhaul didn’t pass, but once the equipment is on, it’s burning money, occasionally one or two people go up to visit, it can’t return the capital at all. To tell you a more intuitive situation, when the new world-class paradise just opened, the water outside the door is not enough, the parking space is not enough, you need to go to the next tenant to take up space. Later, an underground parking lot was constructed, which eased the situation, but since three years ago, even during the peak holiday season, the parking spaces on the ground level of the park have never been full, and the number of tourists has been decreasing year after year, and this year has hit a new low.”
”Uncle Xu, wait a minute, you just said that since three years ago even during the peak holiday season, the ground parking spaces haven’t been full? Then wouldn’t the underground garage not have been used for three years? It’s just like it’s abandoned?” Chen Ge’s eyes changed, and looking at Uncle Xu made him a little uncomfortable.
”Yes, think about when the New World Class Paradise first opened, there were cars and people everywhere, and you had to queue up for an hour or two for each item to play on it, that was the most glorious time, but unfortunately, it has now been forgotten by the city.” Uncle Xu remembered the past and couldn’t help but sigh, “But there’s nothing to be sentimental about, at least we were once glorious, don’t you think so?”
”Uncle Xu, if I want to rent the underground parking garage in Paradise, how much would it cost?”
”What?” Uncle Xu was baffled by Chen Ge’s jumpy thinking, “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
”I want to utilize the underground garage, it’s in a semi-abandoned state anyway, and according to this situation in the paradise it’s probably not going to be used.” Chen Ge had already floated a plan in his heart to be able to maximize the opportunity to expand the haunted house that came with the black phone.
”Are you crazy? What’s the point of renting that place? Raise bats?” Uncle Xu didn’t even know how to communicate with Chen Ge.
”I want to expand the haunted house, and with my current financial condition, the underground garage is the most suitable place, the rent isn’t too expensive, and the environment won’t have too much of an impact on the haunted house.” Sooner or later, Paradise was going to know what he was doing anyway, so Chen Ge didn’t hide this point.
”Your kid is bewitched, right? A three-story haunted house isn’t enough for you to toss around? Do you know how big the underground garage area is? Even if I rented it to you, by the time you built it, the paradise would have closed down long ago.” Uncle Xu waved his hand, “Don’t be stupid, hurry back to work.”
”Uncle Xu, I’m serious.”
”Then do you think I look like I’m joking with you!” Reopening the walkie-talkie, Uncle Xu walked towards the crowd, walked out a few steps away and turned to Chen Ge, “Five thousand dollars, I’ll give it to you tomorrow morning, get down to work, don’t get all weird and wacky ideas all day long.”
”Oh, got it.” Chen Ge followed behind Uncle Xu, looked at the group of tourists gathered at the entrance of the haunted house to watch the fun, and skimmed his lips, “I don’t feel that the tourists are decreasing year by year, anyway, my haunted house has never had many people come before.”
Squeezing into the middle of the crowd, Chen Ge walked over to a few medical students, “A few of you, it’s almost ready, those who don’t know will think I’ve done something to you.”
”Let me slow down again, your haunted house is a bit ruthless.”
”What are you looking at, I’m not scared, I just accidentally broke my foot while visiting inside, that’s why I can’t stand up.”
”What should I do, I now look at anyone like a killer ……”
”And don’t talk tough, this haunted house is indeed unusual.” Monkey climbed up from the steps, he raised the five-star review on his cell phone and stood in front of Chen Ge, “However, one size does not fit all, you don’t think that this will make us concede.”
”How? You guys are still coming tomorrow?”
”If it wasn’t for the fact that I happen to have an exam tomorrow, do you think I wouldn’t dare to come tomorrow?” Monkey spoke harsh words with great vigor, it was only a pity that his pale lips and still trembling calves were a bit of a scene-stealer.
”You guys come, of course I’m always welcome.” Chen Ge was already on the verge of treating the students of the Jiujiang Academy of Forensic Sciences as mascots.
”I won’t be coming back, even if I get killed and jump off the roof of the haunted house.” Heshan looked at Chen Ge with a ghostly face, he was really frightened by the eyes in that doorway.
”Don’t poison milk yourself, schoolmate.” Xiao Hui pressed Heshan’s shoulder and stood up, glaring viciously at Chen Ge, “You’re the first man who made me cry and splash my makeup, I’ll remember your face.”
Looking at the large bag bulging behind Xiao Hui’s head, Chen Ge couldn’t even bear to stimulate her anymore, just smiled and didn’t say anything.
Several students from the College of Forensic Medicine helped each other towards the Paradise gate, when they were far away, Feng ran back alone, he looked complicated and said to Chen Ge, “After I calmed down just now, I considered that question of yours for a long time, and I still don’t have any way to believe in it, I think that it might be related to the brain nerves, as well as some of the human’s stress reactions. ”
Chen Ge knew in his heart what he meant by what he said, “Maybe, by the way, never asked what your full name is?”
”My name is He Feng, I’m older than all of them, and I’ll be going to the field for my internship in a few days.”
”Good, I’ll see you again sometime then.”
After the two exchanged their cell phone numbers, Chen Ge returned to the House of Horrors, he pulled up the guardrail and hung out the sign for equipment maintenance and suspension of business.
”Boss, there are still a lot of tourists waiting outside? Why did you suspend business?”
”There’s a small problem, we’ll call it a day, go explain the situation to the tourists.” Chen Ge took off his Dr. Cranium Shatterer jacket, drilled into the tool room, cut some black cloth, and took it into the middle of the Midnight Escape scene.
He covered the mirrors one by one, but there were too many rooms, and by the end of the day the fabric was a bit insufficient, “This scene is too big, we can’t risk letting the tourists come in until the surveillance has been installed, otherwise if something happens in the blind spot of the surveillance, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Locking the door of the Midnight Escape scene, Chen Ge came downstairs, the tourists outside the haunted house had dispersed most of them, leaving only one or two people still wandering around.
”Xiao Wan, remove your makeup and get off work, that’s it for today.”
After explaining a few words to Xu Wan, Chen Ge drilled into the middle of the staff lounge, he hadn’t had a good rest since yesterday, and as soon as he touched the bed, sleepiness surged up.
