A Chance for Rebirth

“Miss Bai Wanwan, you are now the sole person in charge of Rebirth Pavilion Funeral Supplies Co., Ltd. You possess one hundred percent of the company’s autonomy, provided, of course, that you can clear the company’s outstanding debts.”

Listening to the words of these impeccably suited men outside, Bai Wanwan felt nothing but utter bewilderment.

They had not introduced themselves, yet they had inexplicably delivered a company to her—a company she hadn’t even known was transferred into her hands.

Still, as she gazed at the documents, Bai Wanwan’s signature was clearly inscribed, undeniable in black and white.

During her period of bankruptcy, Bai Wanwan had indeed taken over some of the Bai family’s remaining assets, including numerous companies, studios, factories, and even large-scale agricultural bases.

However, she had sold them all to repay her debts. Otherwise, the amount Bai Wanwan owed would have far exceeded a mere three hundred million.

Truthfully, from Bai Wanwan’s current perspective, the ‘original’ Bai Wanwan had been too childish. Spoiled by her family, she knew only how to enjoy life, lacking any real experience, and would become terrified and blindly obedient at the slightest setback.

With such an exorbitant sum of money owed, hundreds of billions in debt, she should have held onto those tangible assets.

Even if not for her own future prosperity, she would at least have possessed the capital to rise again.

Yet, the original Bai Wanwan had never considered this. Her sole thought was to sell everything she could to settle her debts.

To call her foolish… she genuinely owed no one a single cent.

To call her kind… she had never once considered her own well-being.

Given Bai Wanwan’s current debt, let alone starting a new business, she couldn’t even secure a customer service job.

This funeral supplies company, handed to her free of charge, came with complete documentation and no irregularities, save for a two-million-yuan debt.

Bai Wanwan acutely realized this was an opportunity—a once-in-a-lifetime chance to leverage her skills and rise again!

“I understand. Thank you for your trouble.”

Bai Wanwan accepted the folder, nodding obediently.

The men in suits outside paused, clearly surprised by Bai Wanwan’s compliant demeanor.

As notary agents for company transfers, they typically encountered such debt-laden company transfers when the original owner had absconded, leaving a partner to bear the brunt. Every person they had ever met in such a situation had been utterly hysterical.

Yet, Bai Wanwan’s tranquility was almost unsettling.

However, they had no business concerning themselves with Bai Wanwan’s calmness. Their purpose was merely to deliver the notice. Seeing her accept the documents, they simply uttered, “We apologize for the intrusion,” and departed.

Bai Wanwan closed the door and meticulously studied the documents in her hand. Liu Hanzhi, who had been hiding moments before, drifted leisurely to stand behind her.

Upon seeing the company transfer agreement in Bai Wanwan’s hand, her eyes instantly lit up.

“A funeral supplies company!?”

Liu Hanzhi’s voice carried a hint of astonishment. Before Bai Wanwan could even react, she leaned closer, thoroughly inspecting the company’s operational status.

She found no issues. Although the company’s accounts showed a two-million-yuan debt, all its permits and licenses were intact, allowing for normal business operations.

“What is it?”

“Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get the permits for a company in the traditional folk industry? They’ve stopped processing new applications now; essentially, one less exists for every one that goes bankrupt.”

Liu Hanzhi possessed extensive knowledge in this area, not for any other reason than having been ‘invited for tea’ by an ‘uncle’ for an educational session during her street vending days.

Beginning twenty years ago, starting from Bai City, regulations on traditional folk industries gradually spread across almost the entire country. It was also from that time that unexplainable supernatural incidents reported in the news began to multiply.

Liu Hanzhi herself became active in human society around that same period.

“If you want to use your abilities to earn money, you absolutely must have legal permits. Otherwise, you’ll be arrested!”

As Liu Hanzhi spoke, her eyes instinctively darted elsewhere.

She had experienced it firsthand. Fortunately, the educational video played quickly, and Liu Hanzhi nodded like a pounding mortar during the verbal reprimand. Coupled with her pitiful appearance, she was released just before her paper effigy spell wore off.

Otherwise, the news would surely have reported yet another incredible supernatural incident.

“With this company… I can make money?”

Bai Wanwan still struggled to grasp the rules of this world’s worldview.

“Of course! We can offer coffin carrying, funeral services, sell funeral supplies, perform rites for the deceased, fortune-telling, and feng shui consultations. All of these are your strengths, aren’t they?”

“Most importantly, we have legal permits! We can even advertise on social media!”

“For example, ‘Rebirth Pavilion Grand Sale! Buy one tombstone, get one free!'”
