Part 2 Chapter 55 New Business
I don’t know if it was because my mind was in a mess or because I was a little defensive because I slept in the same room with Bai Kai, but I didn’t sleep well at all. I dozed off and on and barely managed to sleep until after 1:00 p.m.
Fortunately, the boiled katydid also fell asleep and didn't bother me all the time.
I opened my eyes and found that Bai Kai was sleeping soundly. I called for takeout, and when we were almost done eating, Bai Kai woke up.
We ate and talked. Actually, he looked unpleasant, but if we talked in depth, he was not so annoying. Apart from using a lot of swear words, he was quite organized in his speech. He was a bit dark, but he liked to wear white clothes, and they were quite clean.
Bai Kai said that he thought about it before going to bed and decided that he was going to continue investigating anyway, and if I also wanted to investigate, he wouldn't mind bringing me along as a burden.
This is really fucking harsh, but it makes sense. I thought about it seriously for a while, and asked myself whether I should continue to be trapped in it endlessly. Later I realized that the answer to the mystery might not be important to me. I just wanted to find Qin Yiheng and ask him if he really regarded me as a friend after so long. In fact, I am not a person who likes to be serious, but I suddenly felt that this is what I want to know most now.
So I asked Bai Kai if he had any plans. He said that everything was still unclear and there was still some time before next month. During this time, we should buy a house and do business. Jiang Shuo was still Jiang Shuo , and Bai Kai became Qin Yiheng.
He said there were two reasons for doing this: first, if we did anything too outrageous, it would definitely be noticed, which would be unsafe; second, he was a little short of money and was ready to make some money while he had time.
I didn't turn him down, and I couldn't think of a better idea.
So I made an agreement with Bai Kai that during this period, all the houses would be 70% for him and 30% for me. I didn't think about making money, I was going to give the 30% profit to Xu Chuanxiang's family. Besides, when it comes to making friends, I believe that sincerity will definitely be exchanged for sincerity.
Bai Kai was very happy and treated me to a drink that night. He can drink a lot, no wonder he was fine after drinking six bottles.
I vomited several times after drinking, and finally had a very sound sleep.
The days that followed made me feel like I was back to when I first started. I don't know if it was a coincidence or if our fortunes were compatible, but in short, all kinds of business came one after another. Bai Kai was not picky, and he took on all the big and small jobs. He even took the phone all day to instruct people on things like calculating the wedding date for a young couple and what it meant when a family member came to him in a dream, which cost a few thousand yuan. And the payment method was very trendy, using Alipay.
Bai Kai's method is completely different from Qin Yiheng's. I'm too lazy to investigate whether it works or not. Anyway, the most important thing is to get the money.
After doing a few small jobs, I finally got a bigger business.
A beggar has been waiting downstairs of a CEO's company for many years. He walks back and forth on the street to ask for money during the day, and sleeps in a corner of the company's building at night. Because of the design of the building, the corner is barely covered by three walls, and there is a glass cover above to prevent rain.
This boss couldn't be said to be a kind person, but he wasn't a bad person either. Seeing that the beggar felt sorry for him, he acquiesced.
But even if it could block some wind and rain, it was still outdoors. The beggar didn't know whether he was sick, cold, or something else, but he died one winter night.
The death of a person is a very unlucky thing in itself, especially at the gate of his own company. The boss quickly paid for the cremation of the body.
However, when the company security guard was cleaning up the beggar's belongings, he discovered that the beggar had hidden a lot of paper money, of various kinds, under the cardboard he slept on.
Although people thought it was strange at the time, no one took it seriously. The beggar was probably insignificant to anyone, and if he disappeared, he disappeared.
However, unexpectedly, right after that, some trouble started to occur downstairs in the company.
The reason I used the word "chaos" instead of "filth" is because that's how the boss himself described it. In fact, his description was quite apt.
This company is in the IT business and requires frequent overtime. When it is busy, many employees get off work at one or two o'clock in the morning.
Normally, there should be no one on the street at that time, but many employees said that after they finished overtime and walked out of the office building, they would meet people asking for directions.
Although there was no such thing as possession or evil spirits, it was still scary to be approached and asked for directions in the middle of the night.
At first, everyone thought it was a coincidence, but the number of people asking for directions kept increasing. After everyone gathered together to discuss the situation, they found that the people asking for directions were not the same person, which ruled out the possibility that there was a mentally ill person nearby.
Now people began to feel a little scared. Many ghost stories have told similar plots, which made people panic for a while.
At this time, the boss could no longer sit still. Not only did this affect the operation of the company, but if the news spread, no one would dare to do business with him, so he wanted to find someone to take a look.
Although many bosses are superstitious, this boss is an engineer and has always been an atheist. He was looking for someone to see it just to show off to his employees, so after many twists and turns, he found me. I can say without shame that I am also somewhat famous in this industry - although this is all thanks to Qin Yiheng.
This boss was very generous. He was very clear on the phone and clearly marked the price of his services, just like he was discussing a serious business deal.
The price he offered was very reasonable, and the company was located in a first-tier city. I’m not in a position to reveal the exact location, but it’s very close to me anyway.
I didn't even hesitate and agreed. It wasn't because I was impressed by the price, but I wanted to see how good this boiled water was.
Bai Kai and I rested for a day, and drove off the next day. I deliberately didn't let Bai Kai bring Guoguo with him, because if he had been annoying all the way, I would definitely go crazy.
Along the way, I tried to talk to Bai Kai and asked him if he needed me to help fool him, because from the description over there, even if there was indeed filth, it wouldn't be a big deal, and we needed to communicate in advance to avoid exposing ourselves if we were just pretending.
Bai Kai still looked very proud and said, this matter is not as simple as imagined, we have to see it first. Under the ancient city wall, there are many experts running around the streets, and this boss insisted on bringing people here from other places. It's only with your IQ that you can do this.
I felt quite upset after hearing that, but I didn't want to argue with him, so I could only concentrate on speeding on the highway.
After entering the city, we were stuck in traffic. When we arrived at the building, it was three hours later than I expected. The boss had been waiting for us for a long time.
Seeing that it was time for lunch, we found a nearby restaurant and the three of us ate and chatted.
The boss was indeed a highly educated man, and he was quite young. He didn't mention anything extra, but just told the story again. But what was different from the past was that after he finished, he also shared his own analysis and understanding, saying that this might be a crime committed by a criminal gang, and he was ready to call the police.
I secretly felt that this was not a good thing. This kind of person has very clear thinking. If we want to get money from him, we must come up with a very reasonable and intuitive explanation. Unlike many people, the matter itself is not a big deal, but they scare themselves to death. If I just stir up trouble, they will pay money desperately.
After dinner, the boss took us on a tour of his company. It was almost 10pm, and there were still quite a few people in his company, all looking at us like we were monsters - I guess they had heard that some great person was coming.
Bai Kai looked around and it was obvious that he was not looking at the house, but only at the good-looking female employees.
I was standing by and couldn't remind him, so I could only bear it until I got downstairs. There were still many people on the street at this time, and it was busy outside. The boss took me to the corner where the beggar used to sleep, gave me a few instructions, and then said that he had a lot of official business, so he didn't want to disturb us, and left alone.
I don't know what Bai Kai saw, but after looking at it for a long time, I found that this was just an ordinary corner, so ordinary that any building could have such a corner.
I asked Bai Kai: "Is there any saying about this place?"
Bai Kai thought about it thoughtfully and asked me, "Hey, 'Duxinyan', do you think that pretty employee upstairs has been sexually exploited?"
I nearly vomited blood, so I just kept my mouth shut, hoping that he would be better off watching it alone than me.
