Chapter 88: Tong Haichuan's Flying Warehouse Web

  He once discussed the future of Tianhang Jewelry with Lin Xian, deciding to expand the high-end jadeite market while expanding the mid-to-low end market, thereby driving the development of the entire company. Compared with other jewelry companies, Tianhang Jewelry has a natural advantage in terms of jadeite supply, and has the confidence to focus on the high-end jadeite market.

  To develop the high-end market of jadeite, it is absolutely impossible without a few masters of jade carving, so he prepared to invite Su Pingnan to join.

  Su Pingnan was not surprised to hear Zhang Jun's invitation, as he had long been accustomed to many companies wanting to hire him. He smiled and sat back down on the sofa, saying: "I'm a free and easy person who doesn't like to be constrained."

  Zhang Jun smiled and said, "We won't restrict Master Su from doing anything. You can do what you used to do before, and by cooperating with us, our company will provide a salary of at least 50 million yuan per year. Master Su is famous throughout the land, and in a year, he can earn tens of millions of dollars. But if he can increase his income by an additional 50 million, I think Master Su won't refuse."

  He immediately got excited when he heard the amount of 50 million. Indeed, his annual income was between 30 million and 50 million in recent years. Seven or eight years ago, his annual income was only around 2-3 million, far from the current figure.

  After a moment of contemplation, Su Pingnan finally said: "This matter is very important, I need to consider it for a while. In a few days, I will personally go to Donghai to understand the business situation of your company."

  Zhang Jun smiled, knowing that things had succeeded halfway. He said, "Good, I'll wait for Master Su's good news and hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

  After leaving Su Pingnan's house, he received a call from Shen Rong on the way. Shen Rong said on the phone that a friend of the newspaper wanted to interview him. He wasn't someone who wanted to be famous, so he directly refused and said: "I don't like being in the spotlight, it doesn't do me any good, let's forget about the interview."

  "Alright. However, this friend of mine from the newspaper is the head of the commentary department at Tianjing Daily. It won't hurt for you to meet him and make friends."

  Tianjing Newspaper is the official newspaper of Kyoto, and its department head has a deputy ministerial-level position, which is also considered a number one figure. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll be going back to Donghai tomorrow, so if we're going to meet, it's got to be tonight."

  "Alright, I'll arrange a meeting place." Shen Rong said with great joy and a smile.

  In the evening, at a flavor restaurant, Zhang Jun met the commentary department director of Tianjing Daily, a man in his 40s with a very kind face and a smile all over his face.

  "Great hero, nice to meet you!" The middle-aged man said with a smile, standing up and shaking hands with Zhang Jun.

  Zhang Jun smiled faintly: "I'm not a great hero, just a small figure, but you're working in the party newspaper, that's a big shot."

  The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Alright, let's stop bragging about each other. Let me introduce myself, my name is Tong Haichuan, I work at the Tianjing Daily. Originally, I wanted to interview you and write a commentary piece. You're a part-time detective who has achieved great results, which can reveal some issues and uncover many things."

  "Director Tong, I'm just a small fry, there's nothing much to dig up on me. Being a part-time detective is just something I'm passionate about for now, who knows when I'll be fired?"

  "Haha, you're too modest. I've chatted with Shen Rong and he said your martial arts skills are impressive, and you're also a great hand in criminal investigation. If someone like you didn't become a detective, it would be a loss for the police force." Tong Haichuan said with a smile.

  After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them chatted freely about everything under the sun. Later on, Tong Haichuan brought up the main topic and said: "Brother Zhang, your detective skills are so impressive that I have something to ask for your help with. However, since we've just met, I feel a bit presumptuous bringing it up."

  Zhang Jundao said: "You say, if I can help, I'd be happy to lend a hand."

  Tong Haichuan said: "Then thank you." He drank a cup of wine by himself, his expression becoming sorrowful as he spoke of past events.

  Three years ago, he was just a journalist in the commentary department. The place where he was located was a county under Tianjing. At that time, he met an old couple at his workplace who took great care of him in life.

  Sometimes he was too busy to cook, so the old couple would invite him over for meals. When his clothes got dirty, it was also the old couple who helped him wash and iron them, treating each other like family.

  The old couple's home is a childless family, and more than 20 years ago, their only son died unexpectedly, and they have been lonely until today. They always say that Tong Haichuan looks very similar to their son.

  After living together for a period of time, the old couple's neighborhood was to be demolished. Because the developer was the son of the county's executive vice mayor, forced demolition was implemented uniformly, and the compensation conditions offered were also extremely harsh.

  The elderly couple, with no children to support them, had nothing to fear and firmly refused to relocate, standing their ground against the developer. However, in the second month of the standoff, the elderly couple unexpectedly died at home, with the police citing carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death.

  The old couple died and their property was directly confiscated by the unit, then the demolition went smoothly.

  At this point, Tong Haichuan's face was full of hatred and he said: "Although I suspected that their deaths were suspicious at the time, I couldn't find any evidence. But I always believed that they must have been murdered."

  Later, I became the director of the commentary department and used my power to ask the county town to reinvestigate this matter, but still nothing came of it. He sighed, "I don't want that old couple to die with their eyes closed, I must get to the bottom of it!"

  "Things have passed for three years and it's very difficult to investigate."

  Tong Haichuan nodded: "I also know it's difficult, but I still hope you can help me."

  He fell silent, and with common sense, it could be inferred that the death of the old couple was 80% to 90% related to the developer. However, this kind of old case is the most difficult to investigate, without a scene, without clues, and no way to start.

  As he hesitated, he recalled what Hua Buqi had said about why they should still treat terminally ill patients. At that time, Hua Buqi only said one sentence: It's impossible to satisfy everyone, but just don't be ashamed of your conscience.

  He sighed and said, "Alright, if I have time, I'll go take a walk over there."

  Tong Hai River was overjoyed and said: "Don't worry, whenever you have time, you can contact me, I will personally accompany you there."

  Zhang Jun thought for a moment and said: "It's been three years since the thing happened, it doesn't make much difference whether I go earlier or later. I've had a lot on my plate recently, so I won't be going anytime soon."

  "Alright, thank you." Tong Haichuan said sincerely, raising his cup in a toast.
