Stuck in a Chinese novel

"And now you all know why you have been selected and why I need you. Are there any questions?" Wei Jun explained his purpose for calling them and his intentions to hire them.

One of the women, a girl with hazelnut hair and dark brown eyes said, "If all you're offering us is money, we can make it anywhere. What else can you offer us?"

Wei Jun nodded and replied, "A valid question. I will help you with the problems that no one else can. The gangs. As for the Quan family," He turned to the black-haired girl while saying that, "For now I cannot do anything about them but when I expand into Shannau City, your problem will be my top priority."

Realization dawned upon all five individuals in the room. They realized that Wei Jun had properly investigated them and realized their true worth. It also meant that the jobs he would have for them, wouldn't be easy at all.

"So, shall we discuss payments if you are all on board?" Wei Jun asked with a smile as he spread his hands. The five individuals looked at each other, figuring out each other's intentions. In the end, each and every one of them complied and made a deal with Wei Jun.

Wei Jun smiled and left the meeting room. His work was almost finished. He guided the intelligence team about what they needed to do and that they would have their first task by tomorrow.

Wei Jun left the office and returned home. He freshened up while the dinner was prepared. He ate and was in the gym by nine. The bodyguard team became terrified when they saw Wei Jun enter but they could do nothing about the hellish training that was about to come.

After an hour of training, they were saved by the call on Wei Jun's phone that rang at exactly 10 pm. Wei Jun picked it up and was happy to know who it was.

"We have checked your product. One of the directors, Director Wu would like to visit you tomorrow at the office. Can you tell us when we can meet you?" The other side informed Wei Jun and politely asked.

Wei Jun was happy that they were following proper etiquette and weren't being overbearing. He replied, "You can come to the office by ten am tomorrow. We can discuss the terms of the auctions and everything there."

"Very well." The other side replied and the call ended. Wei Jun smiled and turned to the bodyguard team, "You can rest for now. We will train on Sunday now."

=====

Wei Jun woke up at dawn. Did his morning routing. Took a cold shower and then soaked in a warm bath. Had a hearty breakfast and left for the office. His company didn't have a vacation on Saturday. In exchange for good pay, they were required to work on Saturdays as well.

Wei Jun arrived at his office by nine and asked Chen Xian to prepare refreshments for the coming guests. Wei Jun immersed himself in work once again and an hour flew by in a flash. At exactly ten, there was a knock on his door. Wei Jun allowed entry and Chen Xian entered, followed by the old from yesterday and another old man in a suit who Wei Jun suspected to be Director Wu.

"Welcome. I am Wei Jun Ruan." Wei Jun kept his introduction brief while pointing at the seats in front of him. Both of the old men sat down while introducing themselves, "I couldn't introduce myself yesterday. My name is Dao Han."

Wei Jun nodded and turned to the old man who introduced himself, "I would be Nan Wu. Please refer to me comfortably."

"Welcome Mister Wu. I take it you tested my pill and are here to negotiate?" Wei Jun asked.

"Yes." Nan Wu said but didn't say anything further. If how his manager, Dao Han had described Wei Jun, then Wei Jun would first state his conditions.

"Very well. Before we begin, I would like to state a few non-negotiable points. First of all, I can only sell you one pill for tomorrow's auction. Whether I can obtain more or not depends on my master. It was intended as a gift but since I am quite young and in need of money, I decided to sell it and my master had no qualms with it.

However, whether he has more to give me or not, I am currently unaware of that. In short, you will be only getting one pill. The second point, the origin of the pill would not be revealed at all costs. If anything happens, then Xiaohen auction house will be responsible for that.

Aside from that, we can cover anything you have to say." Wei Jun stopped speaking at this point and waited for Nan Wu to speak.

"Mister Ruan, the conditions you have stated are our main concern. However, if we cannot get more currently, we would like to request that if you do get more, you would first and foremost consider selling it to us." Wu Nan stated his condition.

He wanted a monopoly over the product and wanted more but seeing that Wei Jun had denied any negotiation in that regard, his only choice was to make it so that Wei Jun was happy.

"For that, we are willing to give you leniency on our commissions. Instead of the usual twenty-five, we would be consent with fifteen percent if Mister Ruan promises to keep us in mind for the future." Wu Nan stated his offer in exchange for being the first to sell the next item.

"I understand and I am very happy with the conditions so far and if that is all, I believe we have a deal." Wei Jun said while Chen Xian brought different exquisite kinds of refreshments for the guests.

While they ate, Wu Nan explained to Wei Jun the process of auction. Today was a special case but if he wanted to again leave his product, he would have to inform them a week ago so they could arrange more special invitations for the special individuals.

Wei Jun nodded to that in consent. Then Wu Nan told him the amount he thought it would be sold at. The price of the pill would be quite low considering it offered only a temporary effect for six hours. Wei Jun understood that point and said nothing about it.

After a little more discussion, the party left with the pill, and Wei Jun was left in his office, overseeing work and reports. He once again checked on the developers to see if there were no more mishaps and fortunately, there were none.

The arcade setup was going smoothly and the opening was assured by Friday. As for the intelligence team, it was already functioning and was waiting to carry out Wei Jun's first order.

Wei Jun dialed a number on his phone and the call was connected. On the other side was Li Wei, the girl with black hair on the intelligence team.

"I need you to compile data and information on the officers and detectives of the Yuan Yin city. Check all police departments. I need the information by tomorrow morning. Mainly focus on who is corrupt and who isn't." Wei Jun relayed his very first order.

"Understood." Li Wei replied and Wei Jun ended the call.

[Why the data on cops?]

'Because I would be killing a lot of people from now on. And police are the ones to get most in my way. Having information on the police would help greatly.' Wei Jun replied to the system's curiosity and got back to work again.

Before he knew it, it was three in the afternoon. Xiao Chen came to his office to remind him of the dinner which he wasn't very happy about but he still got ready to go home to dress up.

While on the way, Xiao Chen informed him, "Young Master, the detective from the other day called once again. He asked to set up an appointment. As you instructed, I have given him time for Monday at 10 am."

Wei Jun nodded but didn't say anything. Xiao Chen continued, "Also, Lady Yu called again today, asking to set up a meeting for tomorrow. Once again, according to your instructions, I have told her you are busy but I don't know if she would reproach the subject at tonight's dinner."

Wei Jun once again nodded along with a slight hum.

"The last task regarding Yao Tian, I have compiled everything you need to know. As for the deeper information, the intelligence team has been instructed. They say they would work on it after the police task." Xiao Chen further reported.

"Tell them to dig out anything regarding murders and such crimes. Also, find an actress and set up a meeting. Her name is Quan Li. She is a small-time actress and mostly plays side roles or object roles in stage dramas. She isn't very popular so it might be a little bit difficult to find her.

But find her and set up a meeting tomorrow." Wei Jun relayed his last introductions as the limousine entered the driveway of his Villa.
