It was a bald man who opened the door for Chen Taitong.
The bald man pointed upstairs, signaling him to go upstairs.
Chen Taitong looked back to make sure no one or cat was following him before he walked into the building.
"Your place is so hard to find. I almost couldn't find it." He tried to talk to the bald man.
The bald man didn't pay any attention to him. He locked the door and went up the stairs.
Chen Taitong was embarrassed. He had to follow the bald man.
The door on the second floor was closed and locked. They went all the way to the third floor.
There were only two rooms on the third floor. One was a toilet and the other was an office.
The bald man pushed the door open and signaled Chen Taitong to go in.
Chen Taitong walked in carefully. The bald man closed the door and didn't follow him.
It was a small building. Of course, the rooms in the building were also small. The office was no more than five meters long and three meters wide. There was a desk with peeling paint, a sofa that was so dirty that its original color couldn't be seen. There were also two pots of Dragon's Beard as decorations. The Dragon's Beard was in good condition.
A young man in a striped suit and gold-rimmed glasses was sitting behind the desk. He was much younger than Chen Taitong and looked very handsome.
Seeing Chen Taitong come in, the man stood up with a smile and asked Chen Taitong to sit on the sofa.
"Please sit down. Wang Qi, right? That's not a good name. "
Chen Taitong sat on the sofa and froze when he heard the name.
"Don't worry. Most of the people who come to us have fake names. You are not the worst. There was a client before – probably your brother. He called himself Wang Ba."
The man was smiling. It was a big contrast to the cold bald man.
Chen Taitong was smiling too, but he thought his smile must be ugly.
"How should I address you?" he asked in a low voice.
"I don't want to give you a fake name. This is Qing Ren Consulting Firm. You can call me Qing Ren."
"Mr. Qing Ren, I called you before …" Chen Taitong didn't want to stay here for long. He went straight to the point.
"I know, I know. I have investigated what you wanted. Please take a look." Qing Ren stood up from the sofa, returned to his desk, and picked up a kraft paper folder. He placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Seeing that Chen Taitong didn't move, Qing Ren opened the file for him and placed the photocopies and forms on the coffee table.
"You asked me to investigate this pet shop. Tsk tsk, it's quite interesting. This is the information I asked someone to gather. The business, fire, housing management, quarantine, health, tax, and other departments' certificates are all complete and still valid. The owner seems to be a very cautious person. And this — "
He took out a few sheets of photocopied paper. "This is the information on Pets' Home Breeding Base. At the very least, there was no problem with the quarantine of pets, and the quarantine certificate was complete. I don't know much about other things. After all, I don't raise pets and I don't know much about pets. Mr. Wang Qi should know a lot about pets, right? After all, we're in the same trade. "
Chen Taitong wanted to say something but was stopped by Qing Ren.
"You don't have to explain. Only people in the same industry would hate each other so much." Qing Ren laughed. "Mr. Wang Qi, don't be nervous. Look at you. You are sweating … The customers that come to my shop can be divided into three categories. The first is the trivial matters between husband and wife, the second is the disputes in the industry, and the third is the grudges in life, such as owing money and not paying it back. Anyway, don't worry and don't be embarrassed. I have seen these kinds of things many times. Foreigners have a saying — there is nothing new under the sun. "
Chen Taitong's throat was dry, as if all the water in his body had been excreted along with his sweat.
"And this." Qing Ren handed over a colored photo. It was taken secretly with a cell phone and printed out.
"This is the pet sales agreement of that pet shop. I don't know much about the content, but it doesn't seem like a bully clause."
Chen Taitong looked at the photocopied papers and photos covering the coffee table one after another. His heart felt like it was being squeezed. It took him a lot of effort to struggle and breathe.
He suddenly thought, "Is someone doing this to me behind my back? Hiding in the dark like a poisonous snake, collecting information about me and waiting for the right time to kill me. "
Thinking of this, his stomach started to contract and he felt like vomiting.
"You don't look so good, do you? Are you okay? "Qing Ren asked with concern." But this is common. People who see the dark side of the city for the first time will feel the same as you. Regret, fear, anger … All kinds of feelings mixed together. It doesn't feel good. I understand. But … "
He put his face close to Chen Taitong. His nose was almost touching Chen Taitong's face. "Congratulations. You are now a member of the dark side of the city. You don't need to be afraid anymore. Who would be afraid of themselves?"
Chen Taitong suddenly moved back as if he wanted to hide in the corner of the sofa.
"Mr. Wang Qi, you really don't need to be afraid. Especially not of me. You are my customer, my God of Fortune. I am hired by you. Why should I be afraid of me? I should be the one afraid of you. I am afraid that you won't pay me. I have been working very hard on this investigation, "Qing Ren said seriously.
Chen Taitong struggled to say, "I … I will pay you … I will pay for the investigation."
"Don't worry." Qing Ren shook his head with a smile. "I found out that this shop is doing well. If I were in the pet business, I would be jealous too. I understand how you feel. I really do … Are you going to let this shop continue to be popular? Are you going to let him take away the business that belongs to you? "
Zhang Zian's face appeared in front of Chen Taitong's eyes. His face, voice, and tone when he called the urban management bureau clearly appeared in front of Chen Taitong's eyes. He must be looking down on me right now. Absolutely. He must be thinking this. Being scared away by one phone call … If Chen Taitong couldn't save his face, he would be ashamed in the future.
"What … What are you going to do?" he asked with a trembling voice.
Qing Ren touched his nose awkwardly. "It won't be easy on the surface. After all, his paperwork, license, and purchasing channels are all good. Even if I report him, I don't think I can find anything … But, Mr. Wang Qi, you saw it when you came in, right? This is Qing Ren Alley. Instead of destroying his shop, isn't it more convenient to destroy his people? "
"You …"
"Teach him a lesson. Let him know that he messed with someone he shouldn't mess with. To prevent things from getting out of hand, how about crippling one of his arms or one of his legs? If he is smart enough, he will give up. The arm is sixty thousand yuan, the leg is eighty thousand yuan. Which one do you choose? Of course, the investigation fee will be extra. Don't go back on your word! If you don't, we will have a headache. "
The door of the office opened. The bald guy was standing in front of the door with his arms crossed.
Chen Taitong looked out of the window. Unless he had the courage to jump from the third floor, he would have to make a choice to leave.
