Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 144

Ning Qing turned to the management of the storage room, “You must also pay attention at all times, the goods are important. You know the consequences of such a mistake.”

“Yes, yes, boss, I would definitely pay attention to it, please rest assured,” the manager was busy assuring Ning Qing.

Ning Qing then went out of the ingredient room and went to inspect other places. She originally thought that it was just a mistake caused by the newcomer’s eagerness and did not take it too seriously. She did not expect that things were not so simple as she saw.

…………

Su City.

The light from the window came in and stretched his shadow extremely long.

The man’s face was finely chiseled like perfect, slightly high brow bones set off the thick black sword eyebrows extraordinarily strong. His dark eyes looked out the window, gaze unfocused.

The news that came back one after another over the past few days had him worried, things seemed to be running in two directions at the same time.

At that moment, a voice came in from outside the door.

He turned around and lightly opened his thin lips, “Come in.”

The door was pushed open and a small man entered, “Master.”

Chen Jili put one hand behind his back, walked to the case table and sat down.

The man said, “Master, today I found a suspicious thing. Yesterday I sent people to follow a woman. The woman’s relative was very sick. There has been no silver medical treatment, early this morning she took the patient to the doctor, with a cash settlement.”

“The treatment was not cheap. Her relative was bedridden for more than half a month. She had silver to buy the rouge. Why not save it for medical treatment? And in the case of no income, how did she suddenly have the silver? It makes her suspicious, so I specially rushed to report.”

Hearing that, Chen Jili thought about another woman the day before. She had a husband who gambled. Her family has long been penniless. Usually women paid great attention to makeup even if they were poor, but not buy such high brands. Also there was an accident.

The woman was beaten by her husband. The fight was quite fierce. She was pulled out of the door by her husband by the hair. Due to the commotion, soon a lot of spectators gathered outside her door.

From the cursing words of her gambler husband, they could hear a little bit of clues. It turned out that the husband came home and searched everywhere for silver. He was addicted to gambling. The woman’s face looked cleaner so he thought that she, who usually liked to put makeup on her face, must have another man who gave her money. 

The woman cried out that she earned the money and she had no other man. The husband didn’t believe her and said she had never worked, so how did she get the silver?

The woman still refused to admit that she got it from a man anyway.

Those days, there were more than twenty rotten face incidents. Although only two women were suspected,Chen Jili, with several years of business experience, knew that something was unusual.

The possibility of someone behind the manipulation was very high.

After all, it was the first time for Ning Qing to set foot in the business world. If people blocked  the way of wealth, while she was still in the expansion period when the foundation laid is not yet stable, everything may fall in one swoop.

It was clear that the people behind this must be her competitors, but the entire southern side had at least a few hundred merchants. To find out who from them was too difficult.

He could only start from the woman who helped them, and follow the clue to find the person behind the control. But the person behind her would not personally show up. In order to cover up, he must have only paid the silver to a person or must have gone through several hands, and finally to the hands of the woman who carried out the task.

Chen Jili calmly analyzed, “So, start with this woman. She lacks silver. Spend some of ours. As long as her family is on the line, we can use silver to pry open the mouth of the family, layer by layer.”

The people who did such things were not decent people. They did it for money. So as long as they got more silver, they wouldn’t remain tight lipped. Of course, they also had a bit of integrity, but Chen Jili was not worried. Humans had weaknesses. If he pinched it, it was difficult for the person to escape the palm of his hand.

“Pay attention! Avoid alarming the snake with a stick,” Chen Jili admonished.

The man nodded in response, and then retreated.

After the man left, Chen Jili was once again deep in thought about the other twenty or so incidents. Why weren’t they all suspicious? Could it be that there was indeed a problem with the products?

If the formula was the problem, then the trouble was big. But it was reasonable to say that Ning Qing was using the Ning family’s secret recipe, so there should not be such a problem. Their Ning family’s recipe was several generations of inheritance. If there was a problem with it, it should have been exposed long ago, not now.

Besides, their Chen family also used the Ning family’s formula, and for four years never had such an incident. So it was clear that the Ning family’s formula was not the problem.

The new formula she was developing could be the problem. Thinking of the shiny luster, which was not in the Ning family’s formula, Chen Jili decided to go to Clear Water.
