Huang Renjie listened to Rose's words, his expression momentarily puzzled. He felt that this mysterious woman might be joking or had mistaken his abilities. However, he soon turned serious and responded, "Please be more discerning. I am a detective, not a defense expert, and I cannot handle such highly sensitive international affairs."
Rose looked at Huang Renjie and seemed to understand his concerns. She gently explained, "We highly value your involvement, so we will provide you with an initial payment of 500,000 Taiwanese dollars. This is a gesture of our sincerity to express our confidence in your ability to solve this problem. Of course, if the situation is successfully resolved, you will receive more compensation, the amount of which will be determined by your contributions and results. We are willing to pay an appropriate total amount to show our gratitude for your efforts and assistance."
Huang Renjie looked at the rose in amazement, his eyes filled with doubt and surprise. Five hundred thousand Taiwanese dollars was already a huge sum for him, but he didn't expect that it was just the down payment. He tried to conceal his inner shock, but it was difficult to completely ignore the tempting offer. This amount of money represented an opportunity to solve the current financial crisis for him, and perhaps it could save his detective agency from its predicament. However, he remained cautious and unwilling to agree easily. He knew that accepting this commission might involve risky business and required careful consideration.
Rose continued to explain: "We are very familiar with your detective agency, especially in the past few months. You have been facing a scarcity of cases, and I know you have been working hard to keep the agency running. This commission will not just be another case; it could be a turning point. It will not only help you deal with the operational pressures but also bring additional reputation and financial stability to your detective agency."
The words of the woman were like a precise needle, mercilessly poking at the pain deep within Huang Renjie's heart. His eyes were somewhat vacant, and he understood that this tempting deal might be his only way out. In that moment, he saw a possible future where the firm regained its vitality, the staff could continue working, and the business gradually prospered. No longer plagued by financial pressure, he could focus on pursuing his own ideals, even changing the country's security situation.
This money represented rescue and hope, easing his long-standing pressure and giving him a chance to stand up again. However, deep down, he also knew that this deal might bring more unknown risks and challenges. Faced with the firm's predicament, he felt helpless and could only agree.
He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly. This was a difficult decision, but it was also an important step for the security of the firm and the country. Huang Renjie knew in his heart that this assignment would lead them into a journey full of danger and mysteries, a game that would determine the future of the entire country.
Rose smiled, a smile filled with satisfaction. Slowly, she took out what seemed to be an ordinary hard drive from her handbag and gently placed it on the table. "Mr. Huang Renjie, the detailed assignment and key clues are all on this hard drive," she said, her voice low and mysterious. Then she pushed the hard drive towards him, bringing it in front of him.
Huang Renjie took the hard drive and felt its cool touch. He knew that this small hard drive might contain a huge mystery, one related to national security. He gazed at the hard drive, understanding that this would be the beginning of an adventure, a journey full of unknowns and challenges.
"Please read it carefully, sir," Rose emphasized again, then smiled and got up satisfactorily. She took out her phone, lightly tapped it, and transferred the first payment into Huang Renjie's account. When he saw the amount credited, an unmistakable expression of joy appeared on his face, his eyes filled with hope and relief. This money represented a new opportunity for their firm, perhaps a chance to change their current predicament.
Rose turned and walked gracefully towards the door in her high heels. She turned back to Huang Renjie and said, "If you don't stop what's about to happen, you can forget about the final payment, sir." Her voice carried a hint of playful teasing. Huang Renjie watched her leave, his brow furrowing slightly, knowing he was now caught up in a complex game.
Lin Ahong quickly walked to the door to see the guest off politely. She opened the door to let Rose leave the detective agency smoothly.
At the same time, Huang Renjie has returned to his desk and is focusing on studying the mysterious hard drive. He turns on the computer, inserts the hard drive, and begins to examine the files.
