Chapter Forty-Six: Get the Clue
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Ji Bai thought of a rhetoric in his mind: "Isn't there a lot of top members in our club, I just want Brother Geng to help me introduce me." ”
"Got a top member? What are you looking for them all of a sudden? Geng Nan looked at Ji Bai with strange eyes: "Or did you finally figure it out and don't want to work hard?" ”
Just when Ji Bai was still thinking about what he had figured out, Geng Nan suddenly sat up straight, looked at Ji Bai with a serious face, and said seriously:
"Ji Bai, brother advises you, we can't let go of the right path, we have to engage in some crooked ways.
Everything said on the Internet is a lie, a rich woman happy ball or something, it is not something that ordinary people can control.
I heard that there is a new rich woman golden hoop stick now, and the rich woman is happy.
It's not for anyone to get rich overnight, listen to my brother's advice, there is a deep water here. ”
Only then did Ji Bai react to what Geng Nan said, and looked at Geng Nan with a smile and said:
"Brother Geng, where do you want to go, am I that kind of person? I just have something I want to ask. ”
After saying that, Ji Bai suddenly thought of something, and stared at Geng Nan with very strange eyes:
"Brother Geng, how do I feel that you are very familiar with this aspect of things, and you even know everything about the latest tricks, can you say that you ......?"
Geng Nan interrupted Ji Bai with an embarrassed cough: "Don't be cranky!" I heard it from a friend, well... That's right! Friends there. ”
Seeing that Ji Bai was going to continue to ask, Geng Nan hurriedly changed the topic: "Since you don't have that kind of thought, I'm relieved, but why did you come to me." ”
"Who are you looking for?" Ji Bai said strangely: "Among the people I know in the plenum, you are the most likely to know the people above." ”
Geng Nan also looked at Ji Bai strangely: "Think about it again, among the people you know in the clubhouse, there are much stronger than me." ”
"Someone I know? Could it be that you Lin Pan?! Ji Bai was shocked: "Could it be that he is still a hidden rich second generation?" ”
Ji Bai thought about it for a while, but it was not quite right: "No, Lin Pan shouted that he had no money all day long, and he drank my protein powder before, could it be .......... Did he go play the rich woman happy ball? ”
"Okay, okay, don't guess." Geng Nan hurriedly interrupted Ji Bai's gratuitous association:
"Mr. Xia, who was specifically looking for you to cooperate before, didn't he ask me to give you the phone, saying that if you change your mind, you can contact her at any time."
"Mr. Xia?" Ji Bai scratched his head: "Isn't she just an ordinary staff member?" ”
"Don't you usually watch the news of this province?" Geng Nan said speechlessly: "People are big bosses in the real estate industry, and they are interviewed on TV every once in a while, how can they become ordinary staff members when they come to you." ”
"This ......."
Ji Bai said that he was embarrassed, he was still wondering how an ordinary staff member could have such a big tone, it turned out that he was a real big boss.
"Then I..... Contact her? Ji Bai said tentatively.
"Try it." Geng Nan shrugged indifferently: "It's really not okay, you can find Tinglian, or Chen Xi is okay, their family background is not ordinary, they are all in a circle." ”
Ji Bai thought about it and decided to contact Xia Yanya first, Xia Yanya should be the person who knows the most about this aspect, and the two sisters, Chen Xi and Li Tinglian, are not people who can be related to this kind of thing at first glance.
Before the call, Ji Bai was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he directly rejected others last time, and now he came back to ask for news, even if he ignored himself at all, it was reasonable.
After the phone was connected, the voice was a little noisy, and Xia Yanya seemed to be in a meeting.
Ji Bai first said a few words of greeting and then said his purpose, saying that he wanted to consult Xia Yanya about something.
To his surprise, Xia Yanya agreed very happily, not caring about Ji Bai's previous refusal, and the two naturally agreed on a time to meet at the café on the fifth floor of the club at three o'clock in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Bai sighed a little emotionally, otherwise he would say that people could be big bosses, just this refreshing and comfortable style of doing things, and he couldn't accept it.
After arranging the time, Ji Bai stayed in the lounge to chat and brag with Geng Nan, and had lunch by the way.
It wasn't until the afternoon that it was almost time, and Xia Yanya also sent a message to Ji Bai that she had set off, and Ji Bai said goodbye to Geng Nan and came to the café on the fifth floor.
Not long after Ji Bai arrived at the café and sat down, he saw Xia Yanya's figure appear at the door.
Xia Yanya came to the seat in professional attire, and nodded to Ji Bai with a smile: "Long time no see." ”
Ji Bai also hurriedly got up and greeted: "Long time no see." ”
"Stop standing, sit down and talk." Xia Yanya smiled slightly, and after sitting down, she naturally said, "What do you want to drink?" ”
"emmmmmm....." Ji Bai pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay to bring me a glass of ice water, I'm not very good at drinking coffee." ”
"You're welcome." Xia Yanya smiled faintly: "Today I have a treat." ”
After that, Xia Yanya pressed the call button on the outermost side of the table, and said to the oncoming waiter: "A latte, a cup of Americano." ”
After the waiter wrote down the order and left, Xia Yanya turned her head to look at Ji Bai and said:
"The coffee here is very good, not as bad as the professional coffee shops outside, they are all brewed with hand-ground coffee beans, the latte has a mellow taste, and the bitterness is not so obvious, which is suitable for beginners."
Ji Bai nodded and didn't say anything, he could see that Xia Yanya had been very restrained last time because she wanted to recruit Ji Bai.
This time it was Ji Bai who took the initiative to contact her, and Xia Yanya showed the temperament of a huge group as soon as she came up, with a strong desire to control and say nothing, and she was used to arranging everything with her own will.
After finishing the order, Xia Yanya leaned on the sofa elegantly and said, "Mr. Ji came to me this time, is there something wrong?" ”
Finally getting to the point, Ji Bai hurriedly sat up straight: "I'm mainly in trouble this time, so I want to consult Miss Xia about something-"
Before Ji Bai could say the question, Xia Yanya suddenly interrupted with a chuckle: "It's easy to ask for news, but it's ...... Why should I tell you? ”
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Mr. Ji should understand this truth."
Xia Yanya said playfully:
"And news is a very valuable thing in the eyes of our businessmen, and often the speed of a message can determine the rise and fall of a large company."
Ji Bai looked at Xia Yanya with a headache, and he knew that things were not so simple.
After thinking for a long time, Ji Bai said in a thoughtful tone: "So what does Miss Xia want?" ”
"You mean to make me a condition?" Xia Yanya laughed lightly: "Aren't you afraid that my lion will open his mouth?" ”
"You won't." Ji Bai stared at Xia Yanya's eyes, shook his head and said:
"You didn't even ask what I wanted to ask, which means that you didn't want to use this matter to blackmail me.
Besides, if the conditions of your opening are too excessive, I will just ask someone else, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree. ”
"Indeed, I don't have the idea of blackmailing you, I don't want to offend a big master for no reason."
Xia Yanya took a sip of coffee and said her conditions:
"My conditions are very simple, I don't ask you what your purpose is, you only need to promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"If I encounter any danger in the future, help me once if you can."
"It's that simple?" Ji Bai showed a surprised expression and said, "I thought you would ask me to join your company." ”
"Twisted melons are not sweet, I still understand this truth."
Xia Yanya said lightly, turned her head to look out the window, and seemed to be recalling something:
"Forcing others to act according to their own ideas will not end up well, and I have suffered a lot in this before."
Ji Bai looked at Xia Yanya's side face, and instantly made up thousands of words of grievances and hatreds from wealthy families, but he quickly drove these irrelevant things out of his mind, and now the most important thing is to get clues.
Ji Bai pondered the words, tried not to expose the fact that he was investigating the case, and asked Xia Yanya if she had encountered any special situations recently.
For example, have there been any special performances of big names recently, or what special changes have occurred in who and who have compared with before.
Xia Yanya thought for a while, remembering if anything special had happened during this time, and shook her head with some regret after a few minutes.
"I'd love to help you, but nothing special has happened lately."
Hearing Xia Yanya's answer, Ji Bai was a little disappointed, frowned and asked without giving up: "Is there really nothing?" Anything goes, as long as it's something you don't feel like is in harmony. ”
Xia Yanya picked up the coffee and took a sip and said, "I really want to say yes, after all, it's about whether I can get your promise, but nothing special has happened recently." ”
Ji Bai's brows tightened, it seemed that this gang was more cautious than he imagined, and he didn't want to show a flaw, Xia Yanya couldn't ask anything here.
"I'm sorry for you today, if you find anything in the future, please contact me as soon as possible, our agreement has always been valid."
Ji Bai decided to look for Li Tinglian and ask for news, but he really couldn't ask Chen Xi, he didn't believe that he couldn't find any clues.
"Sorry, didn't help much."
Xia Yanya also got up to say goodbye, but accidentally saw a beauty advertisement on the café TV, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
"Wait." Xia Yanya motioned to Ji Bai to wait: "I suddenly remembered something, I don't know if it's special." ”
Hearing that Xia Yanya had made other discoveries, Ji Bai perked up and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about it." ”
"I remember playing mahjong with the wife of a business friend the other day, and she suddenly asked me if I would be interested in trying beauty treatment."
Xia Yanya recalled what happened a few days ago:
"I remember Mrs. Chan saying in a strange tone at the time that she had recently discovered a special beauty method that could make people look teens younger without any side effects.
But I wasn't interested in anything like beauty, and I didn't say yes because it wasn't very reliable when I heard it.
However, several other rich wives who played cards together were obviously more interested, and kept asking Mrs. Chen what method was. ”
Beauty?
Ji Bai touched his chin thoughtfully, and continued to ask: "Did Mrs. Chen reveal the specific method?" ”
"That's not true, Chen Tiantian has always emphasized that you can only know what the method is when you go."
After that, Xia Yanya looked at Ji Bai and smiled faintly: "I don't know if this news will help you." ”
"This news is important." Ji Bai nodded solemnly.
In this way, it makes sense, why does that gang of traffickers look like they have a big man as an umbrella, and they can know the deployment of the police in advance every time, but they have never been able to find out who is reporting the news.
It would make sense if the wives of those big people reported the news, and most people would not be wary of the pillow people who slept with them every day, and the police would not think that the family members of the top officials had leaked the information.
As for the wives of the big guys doing this, it's very simple to think about.
Don't underestimate women's desire for youth, not to mention that those rich wives have basically reached the age of old people.
In order to keep their husband's heart and ensure that they can continue to enjoy a good life, they do everything.
As long as you gain a person's trust, or be needed by that person, it is not too simple to ask for information from him.
If this gang can really achieve the kind of beauty effect they say, then there is no need to take the initiative to ask, those rich wives will naturally take the initiative to tell everything they know in order to regain their youth.
Now that the clues have been grasped, the next key question is how to find the mastermind behind the scenes through the clues.
Thinking of this, Ji Bai said to Xia Yanya with some embarrassment, "Can I ask you for another favor?" ”
After speaking, Ji Bai smiled a little shyly, feeling that his cheeks were a little hot, and he also felt that his words were a little abrupt.
I just said that I was just asking some questions, and now I actually make other requests, which is a bit of a slap in the face.
Ji Bai scratched the tip of his nose and said embarrassedly, "Otherwise, I will save you one more time in the future." ”
Xia Yanya looked at Ji Bai's embarrassed appearance, and laughed out loud: "Say it, what's the matter, as long as it's not too much." ”
"It's very simple, I just want you to contact the previous Mrs. Chen to see if you can find out where they do their beauty treatment." Ji Bai said tentatively.
"Yes." Xia Yanya nodded briskly: "I'll try to see if I can ask, and if I do, I'll contact you." ”
