Ark, Just Tell Me Whether the Mission Was Completed

"Sir, please listen to my ex—explanation..."

Wang Jie trembled in terror, his hulking body shaking as he collapsed limply to the ground.

"Your crimes are backed by irrefutable evidence. As the victim, I have the right to remain silent. Call your boss and lawyer over."

Everyone at the real estate agency froze when they saw Luo Chen's ID.

They finally understood why the young man had so righteously told Wang Jie to extort a little more from him.

So this was an entrapment operation.

Half an hour later.

Every employee of the real estate agency had been summoned to the boss's office, while Luo Chen sat in the boss's chair.

All the agency employees stood in a line, and even the agency owner obediently stood among them.

The agency owner had called Miss Lin, the boss above him, earlier. There really was an officer named Luo Chen in the Lungmen Guard Department.

And after Boss Lin heard that they had offended Officer Luo, she said she would come over immediately and told them to wait there.

Now, not only was Wang Jie, who had wanted to earn two Lungmen Dollars in consultation fees, so terrified he nearly fainted, but even the agency owner could barely keep his feet under him.

Fortunately, Officer Luo Chen seemed like a decent man and gave them a chance to settle privately without going to the Lungmen Guard Department.

As long as Wang Jie compensated Luo Chen with three hundred thousand Lungmen Dollars for emotional damages, he would accept the settlement and not send the case to the Lungmen Guard Department.

"Sir, here are your three hundred thousand. Please be merciful and forgive my offense."

The agency tough guy, his face swollen from being slapped by the boss, forced a smile as he set the briefcase containing three hundred thousand Lungmen Dollars on the desk.

To his surprise, Luo Chen did not even look at it and simply pushed it back. "This isn't mine."

"Huh?" Wang Jie was stunned. His boss had already settled everything with this officer in the little dark room. Why did he not want it now?

"I said this isn't mine." Luo Chen glanced at the surveillance camera in the room and said sternly, "The Lungmen Guard Department has rules. We can't casually accept huge sums of money."

"But this is compensation for your emotional damages."

Not only was Wang Jie dumbfounded, but even the burly boss felt his scalp go numb.

Could this gentleman be changing his mind again? What exactly did he want?

And three hundred thousand Lungmen Dollars was no small amount. Based on the Lungmen Guard Department's public salary figures, a chief inspector probably only earned ten thousand a month.

Besides, hadn't they already discussed this? Why was he pulling this again?

The agency owner and Wang Jie both wanted to curse, but neither dared show even the slightest displeasure before Luo Chen.

Seeing everyone red-faced and at a loss for how to respond, Luo Chen kindly gave them a hint.

"You say it's emotional damages, and that makes it emotional damages? We haven't gone to court for mediation. Who can prove it's compensation for emotional damages?"

With a thud, Wang Jie dropped to his knees. The six-foot-tall man burst into tears on the spot.

"Sir, I was wrong. Please spare me. I'll do anything you tell me to from now on."

"Sir, if you're not satisfied, I can offer more compensation." The agency owner stepped forward to plead as well. He no longer cared about the money.

Only by soothing this gentleman's anger before Boss Lin arrived could he avoid being blamed by her.

Otherwise, if Boss Lin held him accountable, money would be the least of his problems.

"Why are you crying? You're making me look like the bad guy."

Luo Chen waved his hand. "As an inspector with the Lungmen Guard Department, countless eyes are watching me every day. If I suddenly have three hundred thousand more in my account, how am I supposed to explain that to everyone else?"

"Sir, you're so talented. Isn't it perfectly normal for you to have a side business and make some extra money?" The agency owner immediately flattered Luo Chen.

"The Lungmen Guard Department works based on evidence. Even if I had a side business, there would need to be a contract to prove it. Money with an unclear source is a problem." Luo Chen lifted the teacup from the desk and took a small sip before continuing.

"Besides, I'm not some expert or professor who can earn hundreds of thousands from giving a single lecture. And even if I had studied abroad and could offer guidance on business operations, how would anyone else know?"

The moment he heard this, the agency owner was overjoyed.

After all that circling around, he still wanted money.

But the method of taking it had to be legal and compliant.

So how could it be legal and compliant?

Expert? Professor? Lecture?

There it was.

The agency owner kicked Wang Jie, who was kneeling before the desk, aside and pushed the briefcase back again.

"Sir, our agency's development has always hit a bottleneck. No matter what we do, we can't scale it up."

"We'd like to hire you as a consultant and ask you for some guidance. These three hundred thousand are your consulting fee. We can sign a proper consulting contract."

After opening the briefcase and confirming that not a single cent was missing, Luo Chen slowly said,

"From the perspective of a customer, your agency does indeed have quite a few problems."

"And your employees lack professional qualities and career planning. If this continues, your agency will never grow. You could even say it faces the risk of collapse at any time."

"I happened to study in Victoria, so I'm fairly familiar with the business environment there and have some insights of my own."

"Since you wish to hire me for consultation and sincerely want to save your business in its time of crisis."

"Whether for public or private reasons, I can't simply stand by. In that case, I won't refuse. Prepare the contract immediately."

After signing the contract.

Luo Chen also proposed immediately giving them professional training and recording a video as evidence.

Naturally, the agency owner did not dare object in the slightest.

He immediately obediently followed Luo Chen's instructions and gathered all the employees outside, lining them up beneath the scorching sun.

By then, Luo Chen had changed out of his dirty shirt and into a vintage suit provided free of charge by the agency owner.

The atmosphere among everyone present was somewhat tense as they silently waited for Luo Chen to speak.

With his hands behind his back, Luo Chen paced slowly, carrying the air of a leader inspecting the premises.

After looking around and confirming that no one was whispering to another, he began to offer his guidance.

He emphasized that, as a service industry, real estate agencies had to uphold the fundamental principle of putting customers first if they wanted to stand out among countless competitors and become influential businesses.

Faced with the complicated environment of the Lower City, they had to remember the legal red line and avoid dragging down the company or organization.

At the same time, they needed to make the most of their own initiative when planning their careers.

They had to build a good personal image and accurately provide the services customers needed.

They also had to ensure customers enjoyed spending money and were satisfied with their purchases.

At the end of his speech, Luo Chen distilled three things real estate agents must have and one thing they must not do.

They needed legal awareness, a service mindset, and career planning.

They must not leave customers with a bad impression.

"I hope all of you elites in the service industry can work together to make the company's and organization's performance flourish, building a distinctive team renowned throughout Lungmen."

"At the same time, you should value and improve professional standards and benefits in business operations, pay attention to the all-around development of every colleague, and unleash their potential."

Just as Luo Chen passionately instructed the real estate agents to remember the three things they must have and the one thing they must not do, and to firmly implement the strategy of civilized development.

A black sedan pulled up at the curb beside their formation.

The door opened, and a beautiful black-stockinged leg in boots stretched out. Lin Yuxia had arrived.

She casually shut the car door and glanced at the group, who were nearly falling asleep yet still forcing themselves to stay alert.

She could not quite figure out what was happening. "What are you doing here?"

The moment the agency owner heard Lin Yuxia's voice, his muddled head instantly cleared.

He immediately led his subordinates in bowing to Lin Yuxia. "Boss, we're asking Officer Luo Chen to teach us his experience in running a business."

"Running a business?"

Lin Yuxia was immediately stunned.

An officer from the Lungmen Guard Department was teaching gangsters how to run a business?

She could not tell whether that was some new gang slang.

As Long as the Method Is Right, a Thief Can Become a Lawyer.

"That's right, business operations."

While Lin Yuxia was still confused, Luo Chen took the initiative to explain.

"When I first arrived at this agency today, I noticed that it had serious problems in its business operations."

"As the boss of this area, you should know that market conditions have been getting worse recently, right?"

Lin Yuxia nodded. "The earnings in this area have indeed been gradually declining lately. I've discussed it with the people in charge of several shops, and they promised to go back and take their work seriously."

"But there hasn't been much progress."

Luo Chen continued from her words.

"Exactly. That's because the company's problem isn't at the top but at the grassroots level, so your directives have no effect."

"If you want to take performance to the next level, you have to find the key to the problem."

"And the owner of this shop under your command has great foresight. He invited me to train the grassroots employees."

"Train the grassroots employees?"

Lin Yuxia recalled what she had seen when she got out of the car.

The thugs, who were normally all brimming with energy, no longer had their usual vigor. Their faces were instead filled with exhaustion.

Lin Yuxia had gone to school, so she understood their condition well. Those low-level thugs could not understand a word of what Luo Chen was saying.

"Officer Luo, I know you mean well, but I think what you're saying is too complicated for them to understand."

Lin Yuxia had originally wanted to say that Luo Chen did not know how to teach according to one's aptitude, but out of politeness, she placed the blame on her own subordinates instead.

Luo Chen's calm face rippled slightly after Lin Yuxia finished speaking, revealing a trace of displeasure.

"Miss Lin, you may question my teaching ability."

"But you may not doubt the students' ability to learn."

"And I've already distilled the core principles for them: three things they must have and one thing they must not do. As long as they accomplish those four points, they will definitely stand out in future competition."

"Miss Lin, as their leader, you have so little faith in your subordinates. How disheartened would they be if they heard that?"

With that, Luo Chen looked at his students.

"Do you have confidence that you can learn this well?"

For some reason, a trace of unwillingness gradually rose in everyone's hearts.

So, in their boss's eyes, they were all useless trash.

Whether to prove they had ability or simply because they did not want their boss to see them as trash.

Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.

"We have confidence!"

Sigh!

Watching Luo Chen and her subordinates, Lin Yuxia suddenly felt as if she had been isolated in an instant.

She was like someone who had come looking for trouble, while Luo Chen had instead become the boss of the gang before her.

Fortunately, Luo Chen did not dwell further on Lin Yuxia's attitude.

After rallying everyone's spirits, he dismissed the class.

"Since Miss Lin is here, today's lesson will end here."
