Cursed Peak: The Revenge of the Ghost on the Fifth Floor

The city gradually awoke in the early morning, with bustling crowds filling the streets. The traffic lights, like rigorous conductors, orderly dispatch the busy traffic. Amidst this bustle, Jack gracefully navigated the crowd of suited professionals, his steps sure, his gaze clear, and his heart beating to a unique rhythm. In the blink of an eye, the company's massive signboard loomed into view. Jack halted, glancing at his watch. It was 8:50 - he had arrived ten minutes early. This watch, a humble gift from his first love, held immense value despite its simplicity. Watches bear witness to their feelings, and every time Jack gazes at them, memories of their innocent love and the kind-hearted girl flood his mind. Though she's no longer with him, her memory remains vivid in his heart. Perhaps, in heaven, she smiles down at Jack's unwavering loyalty. Perhaps this is why he turns down the advances of so many beautiful women, preferring to cherish the past and hold onto that profound emotion. Jack is a man of deep sentiment and unwavering loyalty. His charm lies in his inner strength, perseverance, positive outlook on life, and effortless elegance. These qualities set him apart, making him a unique and memorable presence. My ability to portray his life stems from a fortunate coincidence - we happen to be neighbors and colleagues. This serendipitous turn of events has granted me a deeper understanding of his existence. A year later, a revelation struck. We had attended the same graduate program in England. He was a year ahead of me, explaining why he joined the company after I had already arrived. And so, without further ado, let's move on from my personal tale. Eagerly anticipating his new beginnings, Jack is well aware of his physical limitations. His lack of regular exercise makes the climb to the fifth floor a challenging feat. The initial steps are relatively effortless, but as the floors mount, the effort becomes more pronounced. His breathing becomes labored, and beads of sweat dot his forehead. Jack grits his teeth and maintains a steady pace, knowing that this is merely the beginning and that perseverance is key. For his new life and his future, he cannot afford to give up. In the personnel department, Jack successfully completed the onboarding procedures. The kind HR specialist patiently explained the company's rules and regulations to him and assisted him in completing all the onboarding materials in detail. Although the process was tedious, with the help of the HR specialist, everything went smoothly and Jack felt it was going smoothly. After completing the onboarding procedures, Jack was informed that he needed to report to the office of the design department manager. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his tense emotions. He understood that this was the beginning of his new life and the first step towards his future. After adjusting his state, Jack walked with firm steps towards the office of the design manager. He knows that this is his new challenge and an opportunity to showcase his talents. He hopes to make a difference in the company and write a wonderful chapter in his life. The office door gently pushed open, and Jack saw the desk of the design manager and the bookshelf behind him. He noticed that there were various design books and models placed on the bookshelf, each full of artistic and professional qualities. This has given him a deeper understanding of the professionalism and authority of this department, and also made him more hopeful about this new environment. Jack took a step forward and walked up to the manager of the design department. He introduced himself and expressed his gratitude for this opportunity. The manager welcomed him with a smile and introduced him to the company's culture and design philosophy. His words were filled with passion for design and pride in the company, which deeply affected Jack. During this process, Jack felt that his fit with the company was very high. He strongly resonated with the company's culture and expressed a high degree of recognition for the design philosophy. After leaving the manager's office, Jack felt even more excited. He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and the scene before him became even brighter. He realized that this was a brand-new beginning and an opportunity to showcase his talents. Jack walked briskly to the office area of the design department. Several colleagues were already busy there, and when they saw Jack, they all smiled and greeted him. Jack felt the warmth and friendliness of the team, which strengthened his determination to work hard there. He is determined to work hard on this platform and contribute his efforts to the company's design career. He believes he has the ability to create his own world here. He will continuously learn and improve in his work, striving to become the backbone of the company as soon as possible. With a cold wind blowing, Jack walked into the office of the design manager. This cold air blows out from the air conditioner, making the entire room filled with a refreshing atmosphere. In this air conditioner, there is also a hint of perfume, which is a noble and unique fragrance, as if it is the classic work of the Chanel brand. Jack smiled slightly and thought to himself, the working environment here is really elegant and comfortable. He will definitely have a pleasant time here. Jack walked into the office of the design manager and was immediately drawn to the scene before him. This office is very large and exquisitely decorated, with every detail showcasing the company's professionalism and taste. Jack noticed that there were some photos and paintings of designers hanging on the wall, each with its own unique features, showcasing the company's design philosophy and creative level. Each work seems to tell a story, making people feel the charm and depth of the design. In a corner of the office, there is also a large bookshelf. The bookshelf is filled with various design books and materials, covering everything from theory to practice, from history to modernity. Jack realized that this was a precious treasure trove of knowledge, where he could constantly learn and enrich himself. The entire office gives a comfortable and professional feeling, making people feel at home. Jack feels that he can learn and grow here, and he looks forward to showcasing his talents on this platform and working with colleagues to create more excellent designs. Manager, this is a newly hired colleague who graduated from K School in the UK with a major in design. "Okay, sit here!" "Thank you, manager, for your guidance in the future." The manager responded with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness and distance in her eyes. Jack noticed that the manager was a cold and beautiful woman in her early thirties, with a high and cold temperament, as if isolated from the world. Jack couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the working environment in this department is really full of challenges. Jack is well aware that a time bomb was planted at the beginning of his work. The relationship with the manager will directly affect his performance and future development in the company. No one dares to judge what will happen in the future. Jack is a strong and gentle man, while the female manager is a domineering female CEO, with significant personality differences between them. Jack couldn't help but beat drums in his heart, wondering if their cooperation would go smoothly, or if the manager would deliberately make things difficult. These questions were all hovering in his mind. However, no matter what may happen in the future, Jack is determined to work wholeheartedly. He believes in his talents and abilities, and also believes that this platform can enable him to make a difference. After everything was arranged properly, Jack sat opposite me and began his first job. We have a total of 5 employees in our office. In addition to Jack and me, there is also a chubby girl, a 50-year-old uncle who switched careers, and a young man. The layout of the office is unique, with personnel, front desk, and finance personnel all having separate offices, while Ms. Mao, the manager, occupies a larger office alone. The farthest corner is the conference room, lined up with other offices. The long corridor connects all offices together, forming a unique layout. This office used to be a bustling hotel, and it is said that a fire broke out ten years ago, resulting in at least 5 unfortunate deaths. However, this elimination The news was deliberately concealed by the hotel owner. One year later, the hotel was closed due to unforeseen circumstances and has been vacant ever since. Until recently, our company only moved into this office. I do have some confusion and doubts about the layout of the office and its past history, but I did not delve into it. After all, this is the workplace of the company, and work is the top priority. Jack has just arrived, and I warmly welcome his joining. I hope we can work together to contribute to the development of the company. I have a better understanding of many details in this office than my colleagues, but I chose to remain silent and dare not disclose them easily. The layout of the office and its historical significance With complex interests and extremely high sensitivity. I am worried that saying these things out loud will bring unnecessary trouble for the company and me. The manager was well aware of this and chose to avoid discussing it, unwilling to get involved in it. However, some things cannot be avoided all the time. The elevator problem is gradually emerging, which concerns everyone's safety and comfort. I think there are some things that need to be candid and resolved in a timely manner to avoid causing greater risks. Although this may bring some problems and inconveniences, I firmly believe that it is responsible performance for the company and employees. I took a deep breath and decided to discuss this issue with Jack. He is new to the office and not very familiar with the situation. Perhaps he can provide some new perspectives and suggestions. I found a suitable time to have a private conversation with Jack. I have described in detail the issues with the elevator and the potential risks it may bring. Jack listened attentively, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes showed concern. "Why didn't you mention these situations before?" Jack asked. "Some things are very complicated, and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble," I explained, "but now I feel it's necessary to let everyone know, after all, safety is nothing." Jack nodded in agreement with my point of view. "I will discuss with everyone and see how to solve this problem," he said firmly. How should we face such a situation?
