The call was so urgent that Qu Mingcong didn't answer the call three times in a row. He finally answered the fourth call.
Wang Wei asked angrily: "Why did you answer my call?!"
Qu Mingcong said: "There is a DIY shop here that makes maple leaf specimens. I am helping them get the materials."
"It took you so long to get the materials?!"
"...Well, it took some time to bargain with the boss."
Wang Wei almost vomited out his blood, "Brother, you just earned one hundred thousand yuan! Can you respect this one hundred thousand yuan?!"
"There is not one hundred thousand after tax deduction," Qu Mingcong said calmly, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I'm looking for you..." Wang Wei paused and started to hesitate like a little daughter-in-law, "I just wanted to ask when you will come back. I want to discuss the firm's business with you..."
Qu Mingcong looked at the elders who were having fun and said, "We will go down the mountain around four o'clock and drive back for two hours. If we include the traffic jam, it will probably be after seven o'clock in the evening."
"It's so late?!" Wang Wei was worried, "Can't you go down the mountain earlier? Is there anything fun on the mountain? If you go down early, you can miss the evening peak!"
Qu Mingcong didn't understand why he was anxious, "What's so urgent? Isn't it the same as discussing on the phone?"
Wang Wei hesitated, "That's right...yes..."
"If it's not convenient for you to talk on the phone, then let's wait until I get back to talk. I have to buy water for my mother and your parents." Qu Mingcong didn't bother to listen to his dilly-dallying and was about to hang up the phone.
"Hey!" Wang Wei spoke quickly, "I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I would like to sign an advertising endorsement for you, okay?"
Qu Mingcong: "???"
Wang Wei added: "There is another special order that may require you... to go on a business trip."
Qu Mingcong suddenly had a headache, "Do you want to discuss it with me, or inform me directly? It's not like you don't know my situation. I can't take this kind of order."
"I know, I know, but I can't bear the money!" Wang Wei shouted, "That company makes outdoor equipment. I specifically told you not to take photos or videos. The other party said they only need you.
Just wear their equipment when you're on camera investigating a case. They'll give you all the clothes, pants, flashlights, and searchlights. The endorsement deal is 300,000 yuan a year, 300,000 yuan a year. How can I refuse? We only earn a few hundred yuan by catching a cat?"
Qu Mingcong: “…………”
After a moment of silence, he asked: "What if... I am willing to take pictures?"
"..." Wang Wei was asked.
In fact, he never thought that Qu Mingcong would agree, so when the brand inquired about cooperation, he blocked the possibility of taking photos in advance, so he did not know the price for taking photos and videos.
Qu Mingcong asked: "What happened to the business trip order?"
Wang Wei became more energetic and immediately explained: "You would never imagine that this is a list of a big star! The money is not much, just 120,000, but the meaning is different. Maybe we will step into the entertainment industry and become a big star from now on."
Become a star! They came to us this time, probably because of our recent popularity! The opportunity is too good to miss, so let’s take it!"
Qu Mingcong was silent, thinking that Wang Wei was really arrogant and thought that 120,000 was "not much money."
"I really can't accept the business trip order." Qu Mingcong said, "My mother can't live without people, as you know, I won't trust her when she goes to other places."
"It won't take long, just two or three days. During those days, I can let my mother sleep at your house and stay with your mother. Don't worry!" Wang Wei directly contributed his own mother to his career, "
My mother always complains that my father snores in his sleep. Maybe finding a different place to sleep will suit her needs!"
Qu Mingcong weighed it in his mind. Earning 120,000 yuan in two or three days was indeed a good deal, and he was dealing with people in the entertainment industry. No wonder Wang Wei was moved.
"If no results are found, how will the remuneration be calculated? How much will be deducted?" he asked.
"120,000 is the investigation fee. As long as you go there, you will get the money." Wang Wei paused and said, "But they haven't sent me the specific contract details yet, so you come back quickly! Let's discuss it together!"
Qu Mingcong sighed, "Okay, I understand, what's the name of that star?"
Wang Wei replied: "My name is Tong Yuan, he is quite famous!"
"Yeah, I understand. Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Then come back early!"
The phone was hung up over there, and Qiao Yueying had already started actively searching for information.
"What Wang Wei said is not accurate. This star is quite famous, but he should be notorious. Two months ago, he was exposed for acting like a big name. Netizens put him on the hot search and scolded him for three days. After that, there was no news. I guess
They want to wait for netizens to forget about this matter, and now they come to us, obviously to divert the attention of netizens." Qiao Yueying commented, "This guy is a bit of a thief~"
"We'll discuss it when we get back. We don't know exactly what they want to investigate right now," Qu Mingcong replied.
He was still in a calm mood. 120,000 yuan was indeed very attractive, but he also had to evaluate the difficulty of the task. If it was really a case that could be solved in two or three days, of course he would welcome it, but if there was a possibility of delay, he would have to
Declined.
…
As Qu Mingcong expected, the return trip encountered a traffic jam. When they returned to the neighborhood, the group was all hungry.
He found a restaurant on the roadside to have dinner, then went home to wash up and tidy up. By the time Qu Mingcong remembered to contact Wang Wei, it was already after nine o'clock at night.
He went downstairs and saw the brightly lit office, and couldn't help but feel distressed about the electricity bill.
Pushing open the glass door and going in, I heard Wang Wei inside let out a long howl: "You are finally back!"
"You've been a bit too ambitious recently." Qu Mingcong sighed helplessly, "Tell me what's going on."
Wang Wei quickly picked up a pile of materials and brought them together, "Come on, come on, look at these, I've printed them all."
The above pictures are pictures, and the following are the preliminary contract terms.
Qu Mingcong walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up one and looked at it. He couldn't help but frown, "What is this? Is it a letter?"
The picture shows an open piece of letter paper with handwritten words covering a full page.
He scrolled down, and there was a picture like this below.
"I printed this. The pixels are a bit blurry. You can ask them for the originals after signing the contract." Wang Wei pointed to the pictures, "It looks like letters written by crazy fans. I have found five of them so far. The content is a bit weird, so they want to
Please ask a private investigator to investigate."
Qu Mingcong struggled to identify the words on the letter paper.
The content of the letter is nothing special. The person who wrote the letter expressed his admiration and love for Tong Yuan in a long paragraph. He said that he went to the concert specially, and also said that he bought a new album and some peripheral products. The last paragraph expressed his feelings of longing for Tong Yuan.
It's a pity that I live in a small town, too far away from the big city where Tong Yuan lives.
Qu Mingcong raised his head and looked at Wang Wei silently, his eyes seeming to say: "That's it?"
"Keep watching, keep watching." Wang Wei urged him.
Qu Mingcong then read the second letter.
I raised my eyebrows when I saw the first line, because the writer said that he had come to Xianghai City and found a job. He wanted to live in the same city as Tong Yuan and fantasized about the intersection he had walked with Tong Yuan.
I've been there before too.
The third letter was more subtle. The writer learned from entertainment reports that Tong Yuan lived in the Yanxi Road area, so he also moved to Yanxi Road...
