Xie Qian believed that the media's focus on the book signing event should be that Wen Ying had broken the sales record for young writers, but the commotion at Wen Ying's first book signing event was exposed. Seeing that some people deliberately steered the topic towards "overnight fame, unstable foundation", questioning whether Wen Ying's creative level was worthy of her current popularity, Xie Qian felt particularly unhappy.
This unpleasant feeling made Xie Qian particularly have a bottom line when facing Wen Ying's "deviant pursuit".
We can’t leave Wenying in the Magic City.
The original signing arrangements cannot be disrupted.
We can’t let the people behind the scenes be proud!
Xie Qian insisted on these three principles, and Inspector Luo was in a particularly miserable situation. He was asked to take up his post as soon as he got off the plane.
Wen Ying couldn't argue with Xie Qian, so she settled for the next best thing: "Then you have to let me meet Inspector Luo, right?"
——Hey, hey, hey, if I remember correctly, Inspector Luo has cultivated important connections over two lifetimes. Isn’t it too casual for Xie Shen to order him around?
Wen Ying's cheeks puffed up, and Xie Qian reluctantly agreed:
"Okay, then you can meet Inspector Luo."
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it well. In the evening, Xie Qian invited Inspector Luo to dinner, and Wen Ying went with him.
Wen Ying finally managed to get a chance to meet Inspector Luo, but when Inspector Luo saw Wen Ying and Xie Qian appear together, he was not grateful.
What does it feel like when two underage employers get together?
The fig leaf that belongs to adults is gone.
Inspector Luo felt so sad that he wanted to cry, but he pretended to be calm: "I have so much business in Chengdu that I can't handle it all. If you weren't old customers, I wouldn't have come here this time!"
This was Inspector Luo's last act of stubbornness, but Wen Ying didn't expose it. "Then I'm really sorry to trouble you!"
Inspector Luo was quite surprised that Wen Ying became even more polite now that she was so famous.
"Professional matters should be left to professionals. I believe that Inspector Luo will not let us down."
When Wen Ying was talking, Inspector Luo was still a little reserved. But as soon as Xie Qian spoke, Inspector Luo immediately straightened his chest and tightened his stomach... It was really weird!
Xie Qian described in detail what would happen at the book signing that day and mentioned the key suspect. Inspector Luo didn't quite understand the media's attitude, but he was used to seeing similar operations as a private detective.
"This is retaliation against Wen Ying!"
It's actually related to that guy named Zhao Dong again.
I thought that after Zhao Dong left Rongcheng, he would have no connection with Xie Qian. Unexpectedly, Xie Qian did not take the initiative to cause trouble for this person, but Zhao Dong jumped out again to show his presence.
Although Inspector Luo failed in his business venture, he is not someone who cannot distinguish between good and evil. After being betrayed by his employees and failing in his business venture, he is able to better compare who is truly doing good for him.
Wen Ying hired him, helped him draft the commission agreement, and gave him advice on his detective agency, all for the sake of his career - but it was a pity that he wasted Wen Ying's efforts and actually ruined the "emotional consulting company"!
Inspector Luo reflected on himself for three seconds and quickly turned the gun towards Zhao Dong.
Wen Ying was definitely not wrong, and Zhao Dong was seriously wrong for bullying minors. I must get to the bottom of this matter and dig out all the evidence to avenge Wen Ying!
Hey, speaking of Zhao Dong... Why did Xie Qian ask him to come to Shanghai to investigate? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just ask his old comrade directly?
Inspector Luo was confused and wanted to ask Xie Qian, but then he remembered that Xie Qian had asked for confidentiality when he commissioned the matter, and seeing that Wen Ying was still present, he was not sure whether Wen Ying knew about this, so Inspector Luo held back and did not ask.
After dinner, while Xie Qian went to pay the bill, Wen Ying secretly reminded Inspector Luo: "You and I have a long-standing friendship. I knew you before Xie Qian, right? Although Xie Qian commissioned you this time, you must tell me if there is any progress!"
"Oh, okay, I'll definitely tell you."
Inspector Luo said one thing and meant another.
Friendship is friendship, work is work, how can the two be confused?
Although this is Wen Ying's business, the person who paid Inspector Luo to do the work was Xie Qian. Whether he can tell Wen Ying the progress of the investigation and how much he can tell, you must first ask Xie Qian!
Besides, Wen Ying is already a best-selling author, so she shouldn’t care too much about these little things.
Writers should spend their time and energy on more meaningful things. These details can naturally be handled by the people around them!
By the time the three of them left the restaurant, Inspector Luo had sorted out his thoughts. He told Wen Ying and Xie Qian that he had decided to start his investigation with the man in the baseball cap who was still in custody:
"Give me three days, and I'll turn this guy upside down. It doesn't matter if he has no criminal record. He must have other motives for doing something like this."
Xie Qian would not object, "I personally respect your professional judgment 100%."
Inspector Luo was very happy to hear this.
Inspector Luo was embarrassed to see someone come to Shanghai to seek refuge with a minor.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, his criteria for judging employers are too narrow.
Whether an employer is a good one has nothing to do with age. Some employers have age but no upbringing. They often question his professional ability and cry out when they are frustrated in the investigation. They pay a fee and want to enjoy the most distinguished service, which makes Inspector Luo very annoyed!
After saying goodbye to Wen Ying and Xie Qian, Inspector Luo happily returned to the hotel where he was staying. The front desk called him:
"Mr. Luo, you have a visitor."
Inspector Luo was short of money, so naturally Xie Qian helped him book the hotel where he stayed.
When Inspector Luo heard that there was a visitor, the first person he thought of was his old comrade who had come to Shanghai earlier than him. Unexpectedly, the person waiting in the rest area was a very elegant lady.
Upon meeting Inspector Luo, the elegant lady stood up. "Inspector Luo, right? I've heard a lot about you. You may or may not know me, but that doesn't matter. I'd like to formally introduce myself to you. My name is Zou Weijun, and I'm Xie Qian's mother."
Inspector Luo panicked.
——Is this the parent asking him to return the money?
"I haven't collected your son's money yet..."
Because Xie Qian helped him book flights and hotels and treated him to dinner, Inspector Luo didn't feel comfortable asking for compensation.
Judging from his experience of working with Xie Qian, Xie Qian will not treat him unfairly after the matter is accomplished!
The investigation hasn't even started yet, but Xie Qian's mother came to the door, and Inspector Luo was very embarrassed.
How can I refund him if he didn't collect any money?
If there is really no other way, I can only shamelessly ask my old comrade to borrow money to pay back the air ticket and hotel bill that Xie Qian paid for!
Inspector Luo was overthinking things, but Zou Weijun smiled and denied them. "Inspector Luo, you've misunderstood. I never interfere with how Xie Qian spends his money. On the contrary, Xie Qian must have great confidence in your abilities to have invited you from Chengdu. I also have a commission for Inspector Luo. Before you accept it, I'd like you to patiently understand the situation. This commission will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may even require you to travel abroad to collect evidence if necessary."
Zou Weijun's gentleness emanated from within, but his gentle words contained a huge amount of information, and Inspector Luo was a little confused.
"You mean—"
"My story is a bit long. If Inspector Luo is not busy, why don't you sit down, have a glass of water, and listen to me tell it slowly?"
Zou Weijun made a gesture of invitation, and it was difficult for Inspector Luo to refuse.
Oh my God, you can't blame him for making money from his son and then wanting to make money from his mother. It's really that Ms. Zou is too well-educated.
