Chapter 136: A Small Deal

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Chen Taitong left, Qing Ren picked up his cellphone happily and dialed a number.

"Hello?" Someone answered. It was super loud over there and sounded like a karaoke bar.

"We got business," Qing Ren said.

After a bit, the noise disappeared. That person probably walked out of the karaoke bar.

"It’s been a while. Mold has almost grown on me! What is it, a big deal or a small one?"

"Just a small deal," Qing Ren replied.

"What? A small deal again? Sh*t!"

Qing Ren sighed and said as if he was worried about the country, "Well, now the whole economy is going down. All of my money is in the stock market and real estate. The real economy is weak. It is good to have a deal. Don’t be picky."

"Qing Ren, I suggest you change your location. Look, your office is too difficult to find. You won’t get much business there."

Qing Ren laughed, "Rent is cheap here. Why would I change my location? Honestly most of my customers come from word of mouth, so location is not a problem."

"Well, never mind. Tell me, where is the deal?"

Qing Ren picked up a piece of paper and read, "Zhong Hua South Road. Amazing Fate Pet Shop."

"Holy sh*t! A pet shop? That’s crazy!"

Qing Ren laughed, "The real economy is weak. Customers are limited. We have to do what we can."

"Hey, Qing Ren. I remember you graduated from a good college, right? You know, nerds like yourself can only find so many big excuses!"

Qing Ren giggled, "Don’t joke around, A Jin. If I graduated from a good college, I would’ve done much better!"

"Well, you are doing well enough. Don’t fake it! I know, you guys come up with the ideas and make the big bucks! We only get the pennies."

Qing Ren smiled, "So, are you going for this deal or not?"

"Oh yeah! Of course? Which part? How much?"

"An arm. 40 thousand," Qing Ren replied.

"Hey, why don’t you only provide the leg as the only option to your customers? Eight out of ten would choose an arm to save money."

Qing Ren disagreed, "That wouldn’t work. If there is only one option, the customer doesn’t have a choice here. My theory is that the customers always come first. If the customers aren’t happy, where do I get the returning customers?"

"Fine. Stop your bullsh*t. Is there a time limit?"

Qing Ren recalled, "No. The customer was a bit scared, so he didn’t mention it."

"Ha-ha… That’s good, otherwise 40 thousand would not be enough."

Qing Ren understood, "You are going to…"

"Of course! We have to make more money to make up for the part that you took away from us."

Qing Ren was knocking at the desk, "Well, now most people use online transference so I don’t think he has much cash in the store."

"Get as much as we can!"

"Well…" Qing Ren thought for a second, "I was told that the owner makes a deposit at an ATM every three or four days. You can take action when he does that."

"I knew I would have a long and great partnership with you."

"Well, we are also in the service industry. Friendliness is conducive to business success," Qing Ren smiled and said, "You won’t forget the rules, right?"

"Of course not. I won’t tell on you if I fail. I won’t fail anyways. I am a professional. We have worked together for such a long time. You should trust me," A Jin promised.

"Perfect," Qing Ren responded. He didn’t trust A Jin. Although he made all kinds of promises, if he failed, he knew A Jin would tell on him immediately… He was well-prepared for that day.

"Trust" didn’t exist in his industry.

"Oh, right. The pet store you just mentioned?"

"Amazing Fate Pet Shop," Qing Ren confirmed again.

"How many people are there in the store?"

"Only the owner. It is going to be an easy job for you."

"No, I don’t worry about that… Does he sell weird things like lizards, poisonous snakes, or crocodiles?" A Jin sounded uneasy.

Qing Ren found it interesting so he asked, "You are scared of those?"

"Bullsh*t! Who isn’t?! If you aren’t, how about you have a poisonous snake bite you? Poisonous snakes are not the worst. I heard about the blue octopus…"

"Blue ring octopus," Qing Ren corrected him.

"That’s right. That’s it! I heard if you get bitten by that, you will die! Hey, if that pet store sells that stuff, I am not taking this job! No matter how much you offer." A Jin started to get loud. "Holy! If the owner got mad and threw an octopus or snake at me, I would be frightened to death!"

"Ha-ha!" Qing Ren laughed.

"Why did you laugh? Laughing at me?!" A Jin screamed.

Qing Ren stopped laughing, "Hey, man. I mean… We have worked together for so long, I wouldn’t laugh at you. You were overthinking! That pet store only offers cats and dogs. Maybe there are a few rabbits and hamsters. Octopus, poisonous snakes and lizards are not in the store… Are you happy now? Don’t tell me you are scared of cats and dogs! If so, I really have to think about getting a partner that’s brave…"

"Go f*ck yourself! I am not scared of cats and dogs! I am going to make a cat and dog hotpot…"

Qing Ren remembered a video he saw online and reminded him, "There is a troublesome cat in his store. It is a golden cat. You will notice when you walk in. That cat caught a cat thief earlier. She looked quite ferocious. Pay attention to that cat."

"Sh*t! Qing Ren, how could you compare me to a cat thief?" A Jin raised his voice.

Qing Ren sneered and thought, "This stupid guy was so impatient. He thought he was great? If it wasn’t for all the information he provided, these idiots would’ve failed many missions."

"Well, I just wanted to remind you. The owner is a wimp. Other than the golden cat, you don’t really have much to deal with. Make it quick. You should be fine."

"Okay. Understood! I will get it done in a few days. Have your customer prepare the money."

The karaoke noise returned from the other end. A Jin walked back in the karaoke bar as he spoke.

"No problem," Qing Ren said, "Leave it all to me."
