Ghosts or Gods, I Run 'Em All

The contract offered to Lin Yuan pays ten thousand yuan a month, comes with benefits, and requires nothing of him except that he show up and be seen. The office making the offer is the bureau that manages gods, ghosts and demons, and he takes the job. He had been delivering food in a rainstorm when he went into an abandoned psychiatric hospital and met a ghost in red who asked him whether she was beautiful. He assumed it was a stunt, photographed her with a beauty filter, and pushed the delivery order into her mouth. Something in him called the Source of the Dao went off, gold light everywhere, and the ghost turned devoted. A nine-tailed fox saw it happen. The two of them fought over him, and that is how he was brought in. Bureau tests rate his spiritual power at zero, which makes him the resident dead weight. The fox puts herself between him and anything dangerous. He mistakes the head of the Yan clan for a janitor and they become friends over snacks. He is assigned to the director, Su Qinghan, as a warm body to sit beside her at night, and he concludes she is ill. Yan Xiao of the Yan clan resents the attention she gives him and calls a duel to the death, then uses a forbidden technique that drops a ball of fire on the city. Lin Yuan raises one hand and puts a finger against it.
