Ghostly Fragrance [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]

Exposing the Fake Ghost Songstress

Once Fangsu returned back into the building, her warning made him frown. Wen Cheng beckoned to one of the guards, "Investigate the Ghost Songstress whether they are the real one or is a fake to gain fame, " Wen Cheng hated people who lied to him especially females, but for some reason he felt that Fangsu wouldn't have lied to him. The guard cupped his hand, bowing, and lead a few other guards to investigate the Ghost Songstress. Wen Cheng would continue to work on paperwork regarding Heavenly Aroma, cash flow statements, expenditures, sales, current assets, profits and cash flow projection.

Due to the fact he employed apparent Ghost Songstress, income has been steadily increasing significantly. But, the fact that people have been questioning the identity of the Ghost Songstress identity has been a hot topic in the capital, fortunately, the business has been profiting off the supposedly real Ghost Songstress. Added to the fact that the Songstress only appeared on that night, during the famous worker Gui Ying's wedding, but left soon after could have some relation with each other or it could be just coincidence. The Ghost Songstress appeared like a ghost, appearing for a moment and leaving the next without leaving any traces behind. The door of Wen Cheng's study was knocked, the guard had returned with their hands cupped.

"Have you found anything?" Wen Cheng questioned, whilst writing up reports to fix errors in calculations in accounting.

"Master, we have discovered that Lady Chen's words were, in fact, true and that the Ghost Songstress that we employed is a fake," One of the guards informed whilst bowing.

Wen Cheng paused his brush and placed it on the ink stone to prevent any ink spillage on the reports, "Continue." As his interlocked his finger, the aura surrounding him became ice cold and the guards became rigid at the sudden change of the atmosphere, they feared for their life.

"The fake was a noble girl who decided it was the best way to..." the guard's voice trailed off, hesitant to continue his sentence, "Her motives were pursued you in hopes to achieve the position of Master's wife." All the guards held their breath as they awaited the response of their master who was seemly very quiet, it was unnerving to bear the wait.

Wen Cheng's expression darkened upon hearing about the fake Ghost Songstress motives when being employed by his business, "Summon her." The guards bowed and quickly scurried away to look for the fake Ghost Songstress.

The woman who claimed to be the Ghost Songstress entered the study room. She was tall and slim, her posture was firm and straight like a willow tree, her black hair was elegantly tied up which exposed a part of her pale neck. A sweet sickly scent came from her. Her face was covered by a white veil creating an aura of mystery but by no means did she seem like the Ghost Songstress. She played the Guqin elegant during her performance only singing popular songs when required, never singing the same song that the Ghost Songstress was sung that night. Emphasising the fact that she could not have been the real Ghost Songstress, "Greetings to Master," the Songstress slightly curtsied as she greeted, her sweet voice has lulled many men to chase her.

But to Wen Cheng, this woman was foolish enough to think she could even try to think about standing next to him, "I have informants who told me you are not the real Ghost Songstress," Wen Cheng was not one to think about people's emotions, but only thought of profits and efficiency to be of most importance.

The woman widens her eyes but quickly masked it by smiling but the smile was stiff, "Young Master, I hope you did not diverge in rumours as they can be quite precarious." The woman tries to prove herself, but the more the woman tried to convince people that she was indeed the real Ghost Songstress, the more Wen Cheng felt that she was lying.

Wen Cheng frowned at the woman's stupidity, "You dare insult, my informants!" Slamming the table, which caused everyone in the room including the woman to kneel on the ground.
