Chapter 287

Recently, Huang Zhengming has become a rat that everyone shouts to beat and kill. The dancing their company is unwilling to accept him as such a brainless Chairman; even other companies have declared that if he continues as Chairman, they will unhesitatingly sever all cooperation with his company, and they will also need to pay huge breach-of-contract penalties.

Jiang Cheng obtained quite a bit of inside information.

Most of this information came from the private detective.

The private detective is utterly loyal to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng had an idea.

He has always worked hard for him, even—

His recent performance has been quite impressive.

Why not take this opportunity to bring him into the fold?

After all, having such a loyal subordinate is certainly a good thing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng sent him a message asking if he had time for lunch today.

The private detective was also curious.

He had just met Jiang Cheng that morning and reported all the inside information he had gathered in detail.

How long ago was that,

Jiang Cheng seemed to have another important matter and wanted him to handle it together.

The private detective, not understanding why, did not refuse.

He basically agreed instantly.

Su Manyao was in a good mood: "Since we finally achieved Victory, let's call my brothers and celebrate tonight."

"Okay."

Such good days have finally come to an end!

Having lost the company's protection, although he is arrogant, his chances of succeeding with those schemes are slim.

Unless he dares to gamble, dares to take—

his own life as a joke!

If he wins the gamble, he can flee with a sum of money.

If he loses, he will be caught; at around forty years old, he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.

How pitiful, how pitiful.

But these are entirely his own doing; no one else is to blame.

After parting with Su Manyao, Jiang Cheng met the private detective.

The private detective was heavily wrapped up because he had recently caught a slight chill.

To avoid spreading his chill to others, he bandaged himself up so as not to cause trouble.

Seeing him, Jiang Cheng was also a little surprised.

He looked at the person before him, laughing and crying at once, and Jiang Cheng fell silent.

At the same time.

Jiang Cheng straightforwardly stated his purpose.

"This time, I want to discuss with you whether you'd be interested in joining my team," Jiang Cheng invited the private detective.

"Huh?"

The private detective was obviously bewildered by Jiang Cheng's behavior.

He was slightly stunned for a second.

"Could you explain in more detail in front of me? I seem to not have understood what you meant just now," the private detective said, eyes sharp.

His gaze began to size up Jiang Cheng.

He had actually understood Jiang Cheng's words all along.

But he felt the matter came too suddenly; being taken aback, his mood was as if he could not calm down for a moment.

He needed Jiang Cheng to say it again.

Jiang Cheng, without tiring, said: "Your abilities are not bad; I value them greatly, so I want to ask if you're interested in joining my team."

"You needn't worry about salary; your monthly pay will definitely be higher than what you have now. Of course, you will thereafter work only for me and must not betray me." Jiang Cheng explained beforehand, leaving the decision up to him.

Upon hearing this, the private detective truly did not expect Jiang Cheng to actually throw him a bait.

Beyond his expectations. She pondered repeatedly; he, who had always been accustomed to freedom, thought that in the future he might have to clock in every day.

Thinking of that, he felt a bit weary.

"Could you give me some time to think? I need to ponder further."

He said: "Although the temptations you offer are strong, I have always been accustomed to freedom."

"If I had to clock in and go to work every day, I would rather not."

Moreover, the money he has earned over the years has unknowingly accumulated into a certain amount of savings.

He can work if he wants to, and skip work if he doesn't.

There's no need to wrong himself.

"Who said that working for me would make you lose your freedom?" Jiang Cheng was amused by his thinking.

He is certainly not that kind of person!

He gave a slight start.

"So you mean that in the future I will investigate these things for you, but I can still be as leisurely and carefree as I am now?"

!

"Yes!"

Then Jiang Cheng nodded: "You can still do whatever you want, just as you do now. As for the tasks I assign you, try harder; ideally, you should not leak anything, or at the very least inform me immediately of any information you obtain."

"Besides the monthly salary on my side, there are various bonuses at year‑end. What do you think?"

"The remuneration Jiang Cheng offered is already quite high."

"Who would have thought Jiang Cheng would even give him a bonus?"

"To be honest, a Lao ban as conscientious as Jiang Cheng is rare indeed!"

"Upon hearing this, his eyes lit up."

"I have to say, the more Jiang Cheng proposes these, the more his heart is moved."

"He truly wants to accept."

"However——"

"He still feels a bit torn."

"Jiang Cheng did not force him: 'You think it over yourself; once you've figured it out, you can contact me anytime. I'm very much looking forward to your answer then.' Jiang Cheng wasn't in a hurry, but he also really wanted to bring such talent to his side."

"He realized that the private detective before him had methods somewhat superior to others'."

"Last time he hired a total of two."

"The other one's ability, though strong, is naturally not as strong compared to that of the private detective before him."

"Jiang Cheng, too, after careful consideration, chose to bring him to his side."

"\"Good! \""

"His previously tense heart finally relaxed a bit."

"If Jiang Cheng were to demand an immediate answer, he would instead keep hesitating, remain torn, and not know what to do next."

"However."

"Jiang Cheng gave him ample opportunity to think."

"\"I'll give you an answer within three days, whether I accept or refuse, I'll make it clear to you. \" The private detective's expression was solemn."

"He spoke, word by word, in front of Jiang Cheng."

"At that time."

"Jiang Cheng nodded."

"\"Okay. \""

"\"I have great faith in you, and I also believe you will not let down my expectations going forward. \" Jiang Cheng's mouth curled slightly."

"Then the two went their separate ways."

"The private detective continued to observe Huang Zhengming."

"Huang Zhengming, this guy, appears to be in poor condition on the surface."

"But this guy repays grudges,"

"Given what he's been through, with his personality, he definitely can't tolerate it."

"He might blame all the responsibility on Jiang Cheng and think of ways to deal with him. (End of chapter)"
