Chapter 140: Keep Your Hands and Feet Clean
Today's headlines are not about gossip about a certain celebrity, but about a wealthy boss from Short Sands seeking a wife.
Why does this kind of thing make the headlines?
This headline must have been bought!!
Many people entered the comment section with such anger and doubts, and then after finding out that the headlines were indeed bought, they became furious and cursed!
I saw a group of second-rate people on Weibo, and their expressions went from surprise, to helplessness, to panic, and then to hysteria.
Looking at Wei Jie's face showing calm , Tan Xinyue had a special feeling.
I felt that Wei Jie had stirred the emotions of those second-rate people with just a few casual words, and I couldn't help but feel the fulfillment of holding power.
Alas, the happiness of rich people is so plain and boring.
Tan Xinyue also wanted to be as outstanding and rich as Wei Jie, but her living conditions did not allow it.
Some time ago, she could still pretend to be a female boss, but when Wei Jie pulled the rope slightly, she came back obediently.
well……
Tan Xinyue sighed and started reading the medical book again.
The more I watch, the more annoyed I become!
All I have to look at all day long are these annoying professional terms, and my salary is just this little. All my life savings are gone, and I still owe a lot of debts. I dare not go out to see anyone.
If I hadn't read this when I was young and had learned to code, would I be in this mess now? Why do I have to be scolded and insulted for that little salary in my forties?
Just as Tan Xinyue was killing time by reading a medical book that she couldn't concentrate on, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Wei Jie heard the knock on the door and shouted, "Come in."
Without waiting for Tan Xinyue to open the door, a man walked in.
This is a short-haired man wearing a suit. He looks somewhat refined and is about 30 or 40 years old.
Tan Xinyue had seen this person before. He was the person Wei Jie hired to do the work.
When she saw this person come in, Tan Xinyue continued reading the book, pretending that she had never seen this person.
Mu Mingwang quickly walked into the room, and after looking at the two people in the room, he said to Wei Jie: "Boss Wei, congratulations on becoming famous."
Wei Jie said calmly: "Are you talking about the post I posted?"
Mu Mingwang nodded. "When I first met President Wei, I knew that he was not an ordinary person. I have also seen the changes in him over the past few months. However, I did not expect that President Wei could be so powerful. I was short-sighted."
Wei Jie didn't like this kind of politeness, and simply said: "I didn't come to you this time to ask you to investigate marriage partners. Just pay the money for these times."
Mu Mingwang spent a lot of money on these visits, and the professional service was naturally worth the price.
"It's only been a few days since we last settled the bill. Is this time, Mr. Wei, there will be a new task next time?"
Mu Mingwang took out a printed bill from his briefcase, which listed the various expenses incurred during the mission.
Most of the miscellaneous items are necessary expenses when completing tasks, such as tea and meals in restaurants as a cover-up, as well as car fares, fuel costs, and rent.
As for the larger amount, it is the labor cost.
The charges of a private detective are not just the cost of taking a few photos, the biggest expense is always the labor cost.
Wei Jie took a quick look and said helplessly, "We spent a lot of money on Xu Zhaorui. So let's just leave it at that. I've called someone from the bank to come over and the money will be transferred before tomorrow."
Mu Mingwang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Boss Wei, you are joking. There is no need to call someone from the bank for such a small amount of money."
Wei Jie said, "I'm going to apply for a new card this afternoon. Because of my physical condition, I asked someone from the local bank to come and handle it on site. I wanted to use this card for my first purchase and swipe more money. But if you're in a hurry, I'll transfer it to you now."
Soon, Wei Jie picked up his phone to transfer the money.
The money for the investigation is only tens of thousands, not much.
Mu Mingwang was a smart man and already knew some things. He asked, "Don't you have anything to tell Mr. Wei?"
Wei Jie said in a bored tone, "No, it's not good to bother you all the time. I think it's too much trouble to do this. I plan to talk to Xu Zhaorui directly about everything. Xu Zhaorui's mother and I are not very familiar with each other. I have done my best to help her."
Wei Jie’s meaning was very simple. The receipts and information in Mu Mingwang’s hand were useless to Wei Jie.
Don't think that you have Wei Jie's leverage over you just because you're helping him.
Wei Jie had dealt with many lawyers and detectives and was very clear about these people's attitudes towards some big clients.
Don't think that just because you think you are a big customer, these people will be obedient and keep their hands clean.
You are a big customer and also a big fat sheep!
Mu Mingwang said quickly: "President Wei is really a kind person."
Wei Jie smiled indifferently and said, "It is indeed a good deed. When Xu Zhaorui wakes up, I will give him the information I have and let him know how humble he was before."
Mu Mingwang looked at the smile on Wei Jie's face and said tactfully, "I have received the money, so I will not disturb you from resting. If you need me in the future, please take care of this small business."
Wei Jie nodded, then looked at the computer and continued typing boredly.
Mu Mingwang left the hospital very quickly. He also wanted to "accidentally" do something wrong and make Wei Jie become a grasshopper on the same line with him.
But this young man was so sinister that Mu Mingwang felt like he would be sent to jail before he even made a move.
Mu Mingwang thought of something, so he sat quietly on the bench in the lobby of the inpatient department.
There were other people waiting here, so Mu Mingwang was not conspicuous sitting here.
About twenty minutes later, a familiar-looking man walked towards the elevator.
Mu Mingwang didn’t know that person. Although they didn’t know each other completely in this industry, the several famous main players were still very clear about each other.
But Mu Mingwang was sure that the man was also doing this, and if nothing unexpected happened, he should have come from somewhere else to do this!
"Investigate me? What a difficult brat to deal with."
Mu Mingwang said this helplessly, and then prepared to get up and leave.
After Mu Mingwang left, a young man who was playing a mobile game near Mu Mingwang stood up and started making a phone call.
"Boss Wei, they've left. Do you want to follow them?"
The reply came quickly from the other end of the phone: No, you can come up and pay.
