Chapter 465: First Arrival in Donghai
Lin Changqing’s cell phone was turned off. There was no way to get in contact. The only way for Yang Ming to find him was to find the Dafa Hotel according to the address provided by Shen Yueping.
This was a very secluded alley. Yang Ming found such a place after several inquiries. A dilapidated bungalow, a bunch of garbage dumpsters – perhaps every city had such a destitute side, even Donghai as the provincial capital city.
Looking at the three cars driving into the alley, the people on the side of the road were surprised and widened their eyes. Especially Yang Ming’s sports car, which could be only seen on TV. The people there were very surprised.
Dafa Hotel, the name looked very opulent, but it didn’t seem to have the meaning of getting rich. It was a very dilapidated two-story building with a plaque that had lost its color. With the words “Dafa Hotel” written on it and the “Hotel” was added later with paint. The original words were “Guest House.”
Perhaps the owner of this hotel wanted to keep up with the times, but the environment in this place was so different. No matter how he changed, he couldn’t make it a high-class hotel.
“Is there a person named Lin Changqing living here?” Yang Ming walked into the hotel and asked a sleepy middle-aged woman who was sitting at the service desk.
“Lin Changqing?” The middle-aged woman glanced at the record registration form next to her. The few guests that were registered didn’t have that name, so she said, “There is no such person.”
” Oh ? No way.” Yang Ming was stunned. “It is indeed here. Is there only one Dafa Hotel here?”
“Do you think that I can open another branch?” The middle-aged woman shook her head and curled her lips. “Are you both staying? The hourly room is very cheap. Of course, if you book it for a long time, you can also get a discount. There is a closed-circuit television, suitable for flirting between you couples…”
” Huh ?” When Lin Zhiyun listened to the words of the middle-aged woman, she was a little stunned. She raised her blushing face and looked at Yang Ming with embarrassment. “What do we do? My father isn’t here…”
“I don’t know. There should be nothing wrong…” Yang Ming shook his head and continued speaking with the middle-aged woman, “We can stay here. We can just rest a bit…”
” Oh ? Well, an hourly room for a day, is that okay?” When the middle-aged woman heard Yang Ming wanted to stay, she was immediately energized. “If you stay longer you can get a discount, and you don’t have to register your ID card…”
Don’t have to register your ID card? Yang Ming suddenly thought of something!Yeah, this isn’t a big hotel. It’s just a small hotel. The management of this kind of hotel is very loose. Since there’s no need for an ID card, many people who come here are basically registered with fake names. The proprietress of this hotel is also using this to attract some young men and women to book a room here…
Lin Zhiyun’s father, Lin Changqing, is now hiding from debt, so he is likely to use a fake name… Thinking of it, Yang Ming couldn’t help but shine his eyes.
The reason why he said that he wanted to stay in the hotel was also to ask for more information from the proprietress. At first glance, this proprietress was the kind of woman who was only interested in profit. When Yang Ming didn’t say he wanted to stay here, she had a drowsy expression. When he said he wanted to stay, she immediately became spirited.
“Okay, then let me stay for a day.” Yang Ming gave a hundred yuan to the middle-aged woman.
” En , I will collect one hundred yuan first, then I will get the remainder when you return the room.” The proprietress said.
“Okay, no problem.” Yang Ming nodded and said, “Proprietress, let me ask you something.”
“What is it? Just ask.” The attitude of the proprietress was very good this time. The service was really different after paying.
“This is the case. I have a friend who told me that he also stays here. He asked us to find him… but you just said that he’s not here. I will tell you what he looks like.” Yang Ming said.
“Alright, just say it. Many people don’t register here…” The proprietress nodded. “If you stay in the hotel, I don’t even register your name.”
Yang Ming sweated. She runs this hotel. Isn’t she afraid the customer could be a murderer? However, this wasn’t what Yang Ming could worry about, so Yang Ming described Lin Changqing’s appearance.
“This man…” The proprietress fell into deep thought, “Listening to your description, I have some images of him. It seems to be a man living on the second floor. Forty years old… I don’t know the detail. He didn’t register. I don’t know if he’s the one you’re looking for… He just went out and hasn’t returned yet.”
Lin Changqing just ate a bowl of noodles outside and faintly heard that someone had been asking about him. Lin Changqing immediately was shocked and quickly stopped. He didn’t dare to go inside. He squatted by the door and carefully looked inside.
When he saw that Lin Zhiyun and Yang Ming were the people who came, he breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open and went in.
“Zhiyun, Yang Ming, how come you are here?” Lin Changqing asked.
” Neh ! It’s him. Is this the person you’re looking for?” The proprietress knew that they knew each other, but she still didn’t forget to sell her favor.
“Uncle Lin, is your room upstairs? We also booked a room, let’s go up and talk.” Yang Ming knew that this place wasn’t a place to talk, so he suggested this.
“Good.” Lin Changqing nodded. “Let’s go up and talk.”
Yang Ming thanked the proprietress. Then he went upstairs with Lin Changqing and Lin Zhiyun. Yang Ming’s room and Lin Changqing’s room were diagonally opposite, so it wasn’t close.
When Yang Ming first looked at his room, the environment was okay. The appearance of the hotel didn’t look nice, but the inside was clean. It was just that the TV was obviously antique.
Hou Zhenhan didn’t care about it. It was the same no matter where they stayed. They also reserved a few rooms together. The proprietress was so happy she nearly fainted. There was so much business suddenly.
Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun came to Lin Changqing’s room, then closed the door and asked, “Uncle Lin, Auntie Shen said that you are in trouble. What is going on?”
” Ai !” Lin Changqing sighed and said, “This matter, I have to start from the beginning…”
It turned out that Lin Changqing’s original hotel was closed because of the gang fight between Bao Sanli and Yu Xiangde. Therefore, Lin Changqing was laid off.
Not long after, Lin Changqing’s previous colleague found Lin Changqing and said that there was a good job to introduce to him. This colleague was doing trading with a boss in Donghai. He heard that the monthly income was in excess of 10,000 yuan.
Lin Changqing was moved and quickly rushed to Donghai. Under the introduction of the colleague, he joined a company called Renyi Trading and started as a sales manager.
Although there was no basic salary, and the commission was very low, (it was 0.5% of the revenue), but the trading volume of this company was very large. It had businesses in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions.
Because of the absolute price advantage, Lin Changqing, as a newcomer, had easily signed two large business that was worth more than 100,000 yuan. He had made a lot of achievements and earned about 1,000 yuan in commission.
Moreover, he had established good cooperative relations with these two trading companies. A few days ago, Lin Changqing and the two companies signed two more businesses that were worth 1,000,000 yuan. Because it was the second cooperation, everything went smoothly. The other party also paid a deposit of 20% in accordance with the contract.
Lin Changqing was very excited. If these two businesses were successful, he could earn more than 10,000 yuan.
However, the good times didn’t last long. When the two companies expedited the goods, Lin Changqing suddenly found out that his boss had disappeared. At that time, the two companies didn’t care about this. They found Lin Changqing and asked him about the goods… If it was out of stock, then he needed to refund the money, otherwise, they would sue him.
Lin Changqing was scared. He quickly found this small hotel to hide in first. He didn’t know what to do.
“Uncle Lin, what is the contract you signed? Do you have a copy?” Yang Ming listened to Chen Changqing’s narrative, and his heart sank slightly. This was obviously the typical example of a shell corporation [1]. They cheated you once and then they disappeared. The salesmen below would suffer.
“Contract? Yes, I have a backup of every contract here. Wait a moment. I will show them to you!” Lin Changqing listened to Yang Ming’s words and quickly took out a stack of contracts from a briefcase on the bed, and passed them to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming didn’t look at the others. He just looked at the first party, and his heart sank! The first party wasn’t the name of the Renyi Trading Company, but the name of “Lin Changqing!”
Looking at the contract again, Yang Ming’s mood was even heavier! Although Yang Ming wasn’t a legal expert, he could roughly understand the terms written on the contract.
All the terms weren’t against the Renyi Trading Company! Instead, they were all against the individual. If the person breaches a contract then what will happen…?
