"Wang Qian, you really have a clever plan."
After listening to Wang Qian's account, He Miaoyin said thoughtfully, "So you agreed to let me be your personal bodyguard and secretary because you wanted to use me to help you investigate the case."
"Likewise."
Wang Qian was also aware that he had been seen through. "You've been shamelessly clinging to me as my secretary and personal bodyguard, aren't you just trying to find out something from me?"
He Miaoyin was speechless.
She never concealed her intentions from the beginning, and she knew that Wang Qian had also figured them out, but he had never said anything.
"Alright, then let's each get what we need."
After a moment, He Miaoyin reluctantly agreed, "I can help you find out what you want to know, but you'll need to cooperate with me when necessary, okay?"
"Can!"
Wang Qian readily agreed to He Miaoyin's suggestion.
Since we both know each other's intentions, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just say what you mean, and it'll save us a lot of trouble.
"However, based on your description just now, I cannot give you an answer in a short time."
He Miaoyin said, "Investigation requires reason and evidence. Your one-sided statement is not enough. I need to spend more time with Zhou Yuanyuan."
"no problem."
Wang Qian nodded. "After she comes back, you can stay here with her and mind the shop."
"You're quite good at ordering people around."
He Miaoyin smiled wryly, "While asking me to help you investigate Zhou Yuanyuan, you're also indirectly helping you manage the shop."
"It's necessary for the investigation," Wang Qian said noncommittally.
...
Around noon.
A European and American style coffee shop.
"How is it? Has Li Wei followed my plan?"
Upon seeing the person keeping watch return, Liu Qingqing asked impatiently.
"Miss Liu, everything is under control."
The person in charge of keeping watch gave a sinister smile. "From 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., there were supposed to be nearly 30 customers, but Li Wei only sold three bottles. The rest of them left looking very depressed."
"That's good!"
Liu Qingqing nodded in satisfaction, her fair face, which was both charming and slightly mean, was filled with a triumphant smile.
But then, as if she had noticed something, her smile vanished, and she frowned, asking, "Why only before 10:30? What about after that? Does Li Wei resume normal business hours?"
"Yes."
The person in charge of surveillance nodded first, then said, "However, later, because the marketing manager Yang Ju came, Li Wei was probably afraid that Yang Ju would find out, so she had to go back to normal."
"Hmph, bullshit!"
Liu Qingqing angrily rebuked, "We also bribed Yang Ju, the marketing manager. We paid her a full 30,000 yuan. Why did she stop Li Wei?"
"That's why I've come to see you, Miss Liu."
The man said, "Since Yang Ju accepted your offer, she should have conspired with Li Wei to ruin Wang Qian's Niangui roasted green pepper sauce business. Why did business return to normal as soon as she went to the No. 1 branch?"
He paused, then added, "Could it be that Yang Ju is the one who takes the money but doesn't do the job?"
Liu Qingqing did not answer, but her expression was extremely unpleasant.
She had considered this possibility before.
However, she firmly believed that given the wealth of her Liu family, Yang Ju, a powerless rural girl, shouldn't dare to cheat her since she had taken her money.
However, it now seems that Yang Ju, this rural girl covered in mud, is much braver than she imagined.
"Miss Liu, may we talk?"
Just as I was feeling down, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
It was a woman's voice, clear and melodious like a bell.
Even Liu Qingqing felt a little jealous of that sweet voice.
Looking up, I saw a woman wearing a women's suit with a sweet face.
"Li Wei?"
Upon seeing who it was, Liu Qingqing raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be at work? How did you end up here?"
"Didn't you say that I could come here to find you anytime if I had any problems?"
Li Wei walked over and sat down in the chair in front of Liu Qingqing, staring intently at her. "I've thought about it, and I can't agree to this."
"What? Are you going to back out?"
Liu Qingqing's face darkened, and her gaze toward Li Wei gradually became sharp.
"You can think that way if you want, but I'm not doing it."
As she spoke, Li Wei took out a wad of cash from her bag and pushed it across the table in front of Liu Qingqing. "Take it back. I don't want this money."
"Li Wei, what do you mean by this?"
Li Wei didn't take the wad of money, but her voice was icy cold, "You clearly agreed last night, but you're going back on your word today?"
Li Wei didn't say anything, got up and left.
"You come back here!"
Liu Qingqing grabbed Li Wei and forcefully pressed her back into the chair, staring intently at her. "Do you know what the consequences of refusing are?"
"I have a rough idea."
Li Wei seemed to have been mentally prepared, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "You are a member of the Liu family. If you want, it will be very difficult for me to find a job in Nanming County in the future, right?"
"You're not stupid."
Liu Qingqing's lips curled into a smug smile. "Since you knew that, why did you still reject me?"
"Because my job is pretty good!"
Li Wei said, "My commission is very high, and I can earn more than a thousand yuan a month. Our boss, Wang Qian, treats us very well. I have no reason to go against my conscience and do something that is detrimental to our company for your eight thousand yuan."
