Wang Xiaoliang gave Luo Bisheng a tug, and the two turned into the first guest room off the hallway, pulling the door shut behind them.
"I think we can do it," Luo Bisheng said first.
They discussed it for ten minutes, then came out.
Wang Xiaoliang walked up to Boss Wang. "Boss Wang, we'll take it."
"But we have a few conditions."
Boss Wang's face, which had only just relaxed a little, tightened again. "Go ahead."
"First, I need to meet the landlord himself and sign a new lease face-to-face."
"No problem! I've already spoken to him. I'll call him over right now!"
"Second, I want someone to do a quality inspection and check whether there are any problems with the renovations or concealed work."
Boss Wang paused, then nodded. "Of course!"
"Also, do you have records of all your expenses?"
"Yes, at home. I'll have my wife bring them over."
Wang Xiaoliang said no more and stepped aside to make a call. Boss Wang fumbled for his phone, his voice trembling. "Hey, are you free right now? Come over... yes, someone's willing to take over. Bring all the paperwork... we'll talk when you get here!"
He hung up and made another call. "Hurry home and bring me my account book. Oh, the one by the bed... don't lose the bills tucked inside..."
Xie Hui was very efficient. Less than twenty minutes after Wang Xiaoliang called, he got back to him. "Engineer Zhang from the Quality Inspection Section should be there in about an hour."
Engineer Zhang arrived sooner than expected. He was in his forties, wearing gray work clothes and carrying a tool bag. Wang Xiaoliang briefly explained the situation, and he began a careful inspection.
