Chapter 187: New possibilities

Her mind was whirling with all the new possibilities. Sally must have been put here by the gods as an answer to her problems. She grabbed Sally’s shoulders and shook them vigorously as she asked, "Which school was it?"

"Miss, you will break Sally if you keep shaking her like a mango tree." Sally complained as she pried Chi Lian’s hands away from her body.

Chi Lian realized that she had overreacted so she dropped her hands to her side and apologized. "I am sorry." She said, "I am just in a hurry to find something that Mu Qingzi took from me."

She saw Sally’s eyes light up like a shining star. "What did that woman take from you miss?" she asked curiously.

Now, Chi Lian recalled that this woman had a penchant for blackmail. The way her eyes were glowing, she was certainly not giving out this information or free. She decided to beat Sally to the punch by making an offer the woman could not possibly refuse. According to T4, Sally was a single mother of one child. She was widowed at twenty five, her husband was the breadwinner of the family so when he died, Sally was left poor and desperate with no means of income; she was forced into this line of work to feed herself and her child. If there was something this woman needed, it was money.

"I will pay you more money, the kind of money that can change your entire life and ensure that you will never have to pour alcohol ever again. But this is a onetime only offer, if you hold back to try and get more out of me I will not be as cordial as I am being right now."

"Miss," Sally said with a bold smile, "I will not take your money."

Chi Lian was stunned, why was Sally turning down an offer which could change her life and that of her daughter?

"Why?" she asked.

"Money is something that can vanish at any time; I learned that after my husband’s death. When he was alive, we had money. We were not rich but we had enough to live on happily. After his death, the money we had was quickly spent. Suddenly my daughter and I had nothing to eat; I could not afford her kindergarten school fees. We could not even afford rent so I needed a job.

I quickly discovered how hard it was to find a decent job that pays well. I searched for a month and got nothing. So when I got this one, I held on to it like a life line, catering to vile men as long as they paid well, but I am tired of this life. Sally doesn’t need your money, what Sally needs is a good job. If you can guarantee Sally a good job for the rest of her life then you can get what you want.

And don’t tell me that you can’t because that will be a lie. You see, to survive in this line of work, you have to have a keen sense of observation for everything. You need to identify a rich person from a mile away. You always keep yourself updated on the latest trends, gossip and fashion. Your eyes should know what’s fake and what’s real. You need to know which words tick off which clients, which buttons to push to get the most out of them or run when they are stupid drunk, angry and just about to get violent."

Chi Lian was taken back, this woman was smarter than she looked. People who called her crazy were right or really wrong. She wanted to see just how smart this woman was. If she was useful, she would take her in.

"And what have you observed about me?" she asked.

"I have noticed that your clothes are expensive. Not just expensive, they are custom made or specially ordered because the quality is excellent. It’s the same thing with your shoes, if my eyes were careless, I would assume that your boots are just common combat boots but they lack creases in them. Not even one line, so unless they are brand new, they are also custom made with excellent leather.

Then there is your bag," Sally pulled out her phone and showed it to Chi Lian on a website, "It’s a McQueen bag, a brand which produces only one hundred bags a year, each costing around fifty million Yuan and most of them are claimed by members of the royal family, privileged families and a few celebrities. Because the queen uses that brand, if one is caught with a fake, they can be imprisoned for up to two years or fined one hundred million Yuan. Only a fool would go around in public carrying a counterfeit McQueen.

I also know it’s the genuine bag because the last stich of the genuine bag is shaped like a tiny crown and dotted with real gold.

And last but not least is your watch, only two such watches currently exist in the empire like that. One belongs to Professor Jun Muyang of the Jun family and the other belongs to his girlfriend CEO of Phoenix media Chi Lian.

There have been no forgeries of that watch yet, I know because one of my clients has been dying to buy one. So, all this can only mean one thing, you are Miss Chi Lian, I don’t know why your face is different but I can assume you are wearing a mask." She finished proudly.

Chi Lian was stunned into a few seconds of uncomfortable silence. Was crazy Sally actually detective Sally?

"Host, how could you forget the watch?" T4 asked in a judgmental voice.

"Well, you didn’t remind me about it as well." She retorted. They were both careless, there was no way she was eating this loss alone.

"The mask was supposed to change your face and hair; you were supposed to take care of the rest." He responded angrily.

"Oh Shut up." She answered, desperate to hide her shame because he was right. "Next time I will be more careful."

"Well, what do you want to do about her in the meantime?" T4 asked, "We could wipe her memory with a portion from the mall. It’s expensive and will use up half of our points but safety should come first."

"Wipe her memory, are you crazy!!!! She is the closest I have to finding my son right now. I am not tampering with her memory."

She smiled at Sally and said, "You have excellent observation skills, I could use someone like you in my team. Now I am not admitting that I am Chi Lian, however let’s just say I work for her very closely. Now there are two ways this can go, you can get an ordinary job in the capital like a secretary depending on your education or skills with her recommendation of course. Or you can join us and work for her personally. However working for means swearing your loyalty to her, it means your life belongs to her. Whatever she asks you to do, you do without question."

"Is that a secret cult?" Sally interrupted with a foolish question.

"No, are you crazy?" she asked in frustration. It had been over two hours and she was no closer to the answer she wanted than she had been when she stepped into the bar. "Just shut up and listen. If she takes you in, your life and that of your daughter will be settled for forever.

Go to the capital and see this person, he will give you a place to stay and some money to take care of yourself as you think about what you want to do." She wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper and gave it to Sally.

The number was old Tiger’s. If she went to the capital, he would take care of her until she returned.

Sally took the paper from Chi Lain and said, "The yellow sticker on the back of the car had two bumble bees. I could not see the name of the school though. There was a child in the back seat, I don’t know if Qingzi was the mother but I assumed so."

"Is that all?" Chi Lian inquired.

"Yes," Sally answered and then she walked away slowly with a smile, before exiting the room, she turned around, held up the paper with the phone number and said, "Thank you for changing my life."

Did this mean she was successfully recruited or not, Chi Lian wondered?
