Chen Taitong had been acting really weird these days.
”What do you think about Boss these days? He looks so worried, it’s like he’s having constipation.”
A few workers were discussing this during the lunch break when the boss wasn’t around.
”Sales have gone down tremendously. You would look the same if you were the boss,” another worker responded.
In fact, sales weren’t too bad. It was even pretty good compared to other pet stores. However, the operating cost was high considering all the staff that was hired.
”Hey, let me tell you. I saw that boss was talking on the phone outside the store. He seemed like he was doing some under-the-table deal because he kept looking around as he spoke.”
”Is he trying to sell the store?”
”What the f*ck? You are right. He might be contacting the buyer!”
…
Taitong walked out of the store, found a quiet spot and checked to make surethat there was no one around. Chen Taitong pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number.
The line was picked up. The person didn’t speak, but Chen could hear his breathing.
”Hello? This is Wang Qi,” Chen Taitong said.
Qing Ren said slowly over the other end, ”Mr. Wang Qi, what’s up?”
Chen Taitong asked nervously, ”You…You agreed…”
”What did I agree?”
”You agreed…to handle him…”
”Oh, that’s right. And?”
”He still…”
Conscious about the conversation being recorded, Chen Taitong muttered and mumbled.
”Oh, I see,” Qing Ren laughed, ”Mr. Wang Qi, you didn’t mention a timeline so I thought it wasn’t urgent. I will push them to take action as soon as possible.”
”It… It is urgent!” Chen Taitong growled quietly, ”I already paid you…”
Qing Ren stopped him, ”Okay, I will rush them. They should get it done within a few days. Do you have any further questions?”
”Well…I am set.” Chen Taitong hung up with a forehead full of sweat.
Qing Ren was right. He had rolled into underground deals and there was no way back.
Even…
The people who offended him appeared to his mind one by one. Everyone’s face was labeled with a price, 60 thousand, 80 thousand…
So-called life was only a bigger number…
As long as someone had money, they could easily…
As soon as Chen Taitong hung up, Qing Ren immediately dialed another number.
”Hello?”
”A Jin?”
”Ha-ha…Who? Who is it? Qing Ren?”
The background noise from the other end was still loud. A Jin seemed to be drunk and his tongue sounded stiff.
”It’s me.” Frowning his eyebrows, Qing Ren knew they went out partying again. These people were not professional at all. They would blow money like today was their last day.
Qing Ren picked them because they were stupid.
He hated them also because they were stupid.
”What is it? Qing Ren? You got another deal? A big one or a small one?”
Qing Ren said coldly, ”You have not fulfilled this deal.”
”Ha-ha… Why do you push… Get some more money, then we…will take action…”
Qing Ren tapped on the desk impatiently, ”We have to keep our reputation. I wouldn’t push you if the customer didn’t rush it, but now he wants to get it done ASAP!”
”Reputation? Ha-ha… Qing Ren, you are interesting… I never knew there was such a thing called reputation in our industry…”
Qing Ren paused and said, ”Go wash your face, then call me back.”
”No! I… have to have more fun…”
”Go wash your face and call me back. If I don’t hear from you in 10 minutes, don’t call me again, ever!” Qing Ren hung up.
