Chapter 7 Section VI

The client seems to want to ask detectives to find the missing cat.In this age of pet keeping, it is not surprising to receive such a commission.Considering the current operating conditions of Ukai Office, no matter what kind of entrustment it is, it must be good news. But Zhu Mei knew that the detective Ukai was very challenging.If it's an entrustment that you don't like, no matter how rich or powerful the other party is, you may still flatly reject it with a smile, that's why you're so poor.In his eyes, the commission of looking for Sanhuamao really didn't seem like a job that would attract him.

Zhu Mei thought that Yukai might slap the table to drive away the client at any time, and watched the progress of the situation anxiously. "Uh~ I see... looking for this cat...Uh~ Let me think about it..." Ukai was obviously looking for an explanation and opportunity to refuse, and Zhu Mei sent out a breath of "no rejection" from the side. "Are you willing to accept the commission?" "This one: ... wait a minute, but..." Ukai still responded vaguely, but in the next moment... "Oh!" As if being pushed by some invisible force, his body trembled suddenly, and his tone suddenly changed.

"Please, please wait a moment, I will discuss it with the chief financial officer!" "Discuss with the Chief Financial Officer? Why?" Ukai left behind the client with a surprised expression, and led Jumeira into the next room.Ukai stretched out his hand and closed the door backwards, then asked Zhu Mei abruptly. "Yes, that person is right. Why do I have to discuss it with you? This is my office, so I should be the person with the highest status?" "Eh? I didn't do anything?" "You've been sending something like a 'demon aura' to force me to accept this request!"

"You actually said that my aura is 'monster aura'!" Even so, Zhu Mei's meaning has been conveyed tentatively, which is really amazing.As the saying goes, qi can communicate with the heart, and the power of qi should not be underestimated.However, I have a tacit understanding with this strange detective, and I don't know whether I should be happy or sad.don't mention this... "So, Ugai-san, of course you will accept this request, right?" "Accept the commission? The commission from Sanhuamao? I will accept it? Hahaha!" "Will you accept it?"

"If it's a million-dollar Siamese or Persian cat, I can consider it." "Will you accept it?" "It's absurd that I should be looking around for a mere mongrel cat." "I will accept it!" "I, don't I have the freedom to choose? Who are you to me?" "Creditor." Zhu Mei didn't want to say it, but it was the truth. "Hmm, that's right." This unceremonious response silenced the detective. "In short..." Zhu Mei encouraged Ukai. "You can't refuse immediately, let's listen to what conditions he offers first. The old man must be a cat fan, because he likes cats so much, he will put a huge lucky cat in front of his store, as if he is not only a work partner, but also a cat lover. The cat is his only friend, that’s the kind of person he is. Now that the cat is missing, he would not hesitate to spend money to find the cat, so maybe even if it’s a mere cat, he might prepare a good reward.”

"Is that right?" "That's it, cheer up." "Okay, leave it to me!" The detective did as he said this time. "I kept you waiting." After Ukai and Azumi came back, Gotokuji Toyozo straightened his body on the sofa and reconfirmed. "How, are you willing to accept the commission?" "Well..." Ukai quietly glanced at Zhu Mei to observe the reaction. "In short, is it convenient to know the conditions you offered first? Only then can we decide whether to accept it or not." "The conditions you mentioned mean...ah, that's how it is." Gotokuji Toyozo patted his thinning hair on his forehead. "This is my negligence, I'm really rude. The conditions you mentioned refer to the remuneration, right? For my lovely Sanhuazi, of course I will prepare a corresponding thank you gift."

"Correspondence means?" "Hmm~ Actually, I don't know much about the market in this area. I want to say that it's up to you to decide. How much price would you like to accept this commission?" "Let me make the price, eh~ I didn't accept the commission to find the Sanhuamao either. Ah, that's good." Ukai seemed to have thought of a good idea, and his expression lit up instantly.Zhu Mei was shocked by one thing. Wouldn't this unmotivated detective want to open his mouth to the lion and ruin this rare job? Later, Ukai was just as Zhu Mei imagined... no, it was beyond Zhu Mei's imagination, and the price was astonishing.

"If it's one million, I'll accept this commission." ah ah!What a lion!Zhu Mei closed her eyes in despondency.However…… "Okay, I will trouble you with one million." Zhu Mei opened her eyes and suspected that she had heard wrong. One million yuan.This gentleman probably didn't take this amount of money seriously, but it was a sky-high price as a reward for finding a three-coloured cat. This money could buy several cats with pedigree certificates.Even if a relationship is developed, a mongrel cat should not be worth the price, and Zhu Mei can't help but suspect that the other party is joking.

"I, I, I said Japanese yen, one million yen." What detectives suspect is currency units.He has a good point of view, but seems to have a poor head. "Of course it's one million yen in Japanese yen." "One million yen! Really, really one million yen! Since the reward for success is one million yen, it means that the relevant expenses are calculated separately. I don't think it's good to say that, but finding a cat will cost a lot of money. , such as printing fees for leaflets or posters, personnel expenses for posting posters, advertising expenses for publishing newspaper notices, transportation expenses for inquiring everywhere, meal expenses during this period, water, electricity, gas and telephone bills, etc... "

Ukai even lists items that are obviously not related expenses, just like a cleverly named income tax declaration. even so…… "Of course these are also borne by this side." Gotokuji Toyozo readily agreed to do it all, like a loosely censored IRS. "Hey, as long as Sanhuazi comes back to me, it's just a small amount of money. After all, she's a living thing, and money can't buy her." "I see. Then coordinate again!" Ukai played his naturally cheeky personality. "Just make up a good number, how about 1.2 million? If it's 1.2 million, I'll accept this commission."

"?" Hotokuji Toyozo, of course, didn't know what to do. "But I don't think 1.2 million is a good number?" "This is one year, exactly one year, and it is paid in full." "What is this talking about?" However, the client is not obsessed with such small numbers. "In short, that's it, don't worry about such a small money as 1.2 million. If 1.2 million can be accepted by you, I have no problem here." "Oh, that's very generous. Then, let's formally sign the contract immediately... Hey, Miss Zhumei, paper, paper, paper!" Let's talk about the contract, it's not that there is no toilet paper in the toilet! In short, looking for the commission of Sanhuamao, so I took the initiative to find the detective.Now that he has accepted the commission, Ukai cannot be lazy. Regardless of the job content, the pay was attractive, so he acted accordingly.This includes posting leaflets and posters in urban areas, publishing cat hunting notices with photos in newspapers, asking citizens for information, and if there is information that needs special attention, go to the area to find it in person. Ukai's apprentice Tomura Ryuhei also helped to find it. "Hoohoo, I know there is a cat that looks like the one in the photo, please leave it to me, it's easy." As soon as he saw the three-flowered cat in the photo, he showed an attitude of winning. From Zhu Mei's point of view, Ukai and Ryuhei are working so hard for the time being, that she thinks "it's okay to help a little bit", which is human nature.The reason why Zhu Mei held the bucket in one hand and hunted down the three-flowered cat that appeared in the Liming Building was based on this ins and outs.
