Chapter 16 You really know how to live a good life
It was the first time that Qu Mingcong encountered such a customer. Even though he knew that the pet was probably dead, he still insisted on getting it back.
After Qin Lu left, Qu Mingcong sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. Qiao Yueying asked him what he was thinking about, and he replied: "I am thinking about how to get the cat back."
"Is it too difficult?" Qiao Yueying felt that there was little hope. "If it is thrown into a trash can on the roadside, it will be cleared away by sanitation workers in less than 24 hours. How can it be recovered?"
"It is indeed difficult, but since the customer made the request, we can only try our best." Qu Mingcong stood up and walked to the computer, patted Wang Wei who was sleeping on the table, "Get up, I want to use the computer."
Wang Wei was so sleepy that he didn't even know that a guest had just arrived. He was shaken awake by Qu Mingcong, his face lifted from his arms, and his eyes were so sleepy that he couldn't open them.
"Go home and sleep." Qu Mingcong said in a disgusted tone, "If you don't want to sleep on a bed at home, you have to sleep here."
"I stayed up all night last night..." Wang Wei stood up holding his head, "I'm going to wash my face and wake up."
"Okay, if you feel sleepy, go back to sleep." Qu Mingcong pulled him away from the computer desk.
Wang Wei held on to the table and refused to leave, "Who will look after the store when I go back?"
Qu Mingcong said: "I'm looking after the store."
"Aren't you going to check on Shao Jiaming's wife?"
"No more checking, that list is useless."
"Oh, you didn't cheat, right..." Wang Wei yawned indifferently, "What's wrong with this? Everyone likes to fantasize about being a cuckold."
Firms often encounter this kind of order. The husband or wife suspects that their partner is unfaithful, but after checking, they find that there is no such thing at all, and it is all their own random imagination.
Wang Wei thought that when Qu Mingcong said the order was void, he meant that the other party had not cheated on him, so he didn't ask any more questions and went back with a yawn.
The video editing software and a bunch of messy videos left on the computer desktop are the result of Wang Wei's hard work all night. He obviously has not given up on live broadcasting.
Qu Mingcong ignored these things and clicked on a document from the desktop. There was a row of names and mobile phone numbers in the document.
He dragged the mouse to look at them one by one, and finally stopped at a person's name. He glanced at the number behind the name and picked up the phone to dial.
Qiao Yueying asked curiously: "Who is this person?"
Qu Mingcong replied meaningfully: "A person who can let me use my public tools for personal use."
Qiao Yueying: "???"
The call was quickly connected, and a bold voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Oh! That's strange, why does Captain Qu have time to call me today?"
Qu Mingcong smiled and greeted the other party: "How is your work lately?"
"What else can we do? It's the same as usual, what about you? I heard that you are now working alone and making money, but don't forget us brothers, remember to treat us to dinner!"
"It's just a small business. I need a meal to satisfy my hunger."
"Really? Don't fool me."
"Have I ever fooled you?" Qu Mingcong said with a faint smile, "But no matter how bad you are, it's still okay to treat me to a meal. Are you free today? I'll treat you to a meal, and you bring Director Wang with me."
"Damn, you are not pure in mind. Are you trying to trick our Director Wang into working for you?"
Qu Mingcong laughed and said, "Help me, I'll buy ham for Director Wang."
The person on the other end of the phone was hesitant, "I can't even buy intestines. He is on duty for eight hours today. If he works at night, it will be overtime. If someone finds out, a report will be filed on me and I will be suspected of animal cruelty."
"What about tomorrow?" Qu Mingcong was extremely patient and asked unhurriedly, "When is the most convenient time tomorrow? Don't worry, it won't delay our Director Wang for too long."
"Oh, okay, okay, then tomorrow morning, I will take it out for a morning run, and then you can come and pick it up. Anyway, it knows you, so remember to bring it back before ten o'clock."
"Thank you." Qu Mingcong raised the corners of his mouth and hung up the phone happily.
Qiao Yueying finally understood and said in surprise: "Director Wang is a dog?"
"Well, police dog." Qu Mingcong said with a smile, "One of Trane's dogs was originally named Wang Zai. Later, the dog trainer found that all the dogs in the team obeyed him. Seeing that he was as obedient as the dean, he began to
Let’s call it Director Wang.”
"Ah ah ah, that's great! Let's get a dog too!" Qiao Yueying was excited, "It would be great to have a dog to help investigate cases!"
Qu Mingcong also likes dogs, but he restrains himself when he thinks about the time and energy required to raise a dog. He is not sure whether he is qualified to raise a dog besides taking care of his mother.
"Let's talk about it later," he replied.
…
There was no business in the afternoon. Qu Mingcong sat in the office for most of the day without a single customer.
Normally, he and Wang Wei have a clear division of labor. One is looking at the store and the other is investigating. He is running around almost all day, but today he sat in the store for several hours, doing nothing, and was so idle.
Qiao Yueying was also bored. She dug out the Korean dramas she had downloaded from the beauty salon, watched one episode, deleted one episode, and fast forwarded, finishing seven or eight episodes in one afternoon.
There was not much left in stock, and Qiao Yueying couldn't help but worry about the long night that was coming - Qu Mingcong would be with his mother in the hospital from 6 to 10 pm, and he would have no time to talk to her. She could only find a way on her own.
kill time.
"Otherwise, when the reward for finding the cat comes in, I don't want you to buy a gift bag, so you should buy me a membership to a video website." Qiao Yueying sighed on her phone, "It's really boring."
Qu Mingcong said: "Just think it's free."
"The free one doesn't look good! There are too many ads!" Qiao Yueying complained, "Can't you just buy a one-month membership first? It's only 30 yuan, and you can even buy ham for your dog for more than that."
Qu Mingcong thought for a moment, stood up, picked up his backpack, hung his cell phone around his neck, and said, "You reminded me, I have to prepare food in advance when I pick up Director Wang tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Qiao Yueying was stunned, "Aren't you looking at the store?"
Qu Mingcong looked at the time, it was 4:20, and there was only more than an hour left before closing time.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we close a little early. Looking at today's situation, even if we wait until six o'clock, there will still be no business. Why not go to the vegetable market? There will be discounted meat bones for sale when the stall is about to close."
After hearing this, Qiao Yueying couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Ming, you really know how to live a good life."
Qu Mingcong put on his bag and went out, closed the glass door, pulled down the rolling shutter door outside and locked it, then got on his motorcycle and left in style.
When passing a blind massage parlor, I subconsciously slowed down.
He saw the client's wife just walking out of the massage parlor. She deliberately held a parasol and wore a mask, but Qu Mingcong still recognized her at a glance.
To be honest, he doesn't understand very much. He doesn't understand the husband's punches and kicks against his wife, nor the wife's betrayal and concealment from her husband. If it hurts, wouldn't it be better to leave? Why do they torture each other in the name of marriage?
But this matter has nothing to do with him anymore, and it is not his turn to care about other people's lives.
Holding the handlebar tightly, speeding up, the motorcycle quickly drove out of the neighborhood.
