Chapter 125 Private Investigator and Bar Hostess
When Klein completed a commission and happily returned home with his first pot of gold, he was surprised to see a newly opened "Backlund General Affairs Commission" on the streets of Minsk.
"When did this appear?"
Klein was drawn to the strange name. In fact, many residents of Bridgewood were also drawn to it. Looking at the description on the bulletin board, it was clearly a small to medium-sized general store.
"This... shouldn't be stealing business from me, a private investigator, right?"
Klein thought to himself with some uncertainty.
He felt that the private investigation profession still required some level of professionalism.
Klein initially thought so, until he approached and saw the notice board listing some acceptable tasks, including but not limited to:
Temporary pet care, temporary housekeeping, temporary housekeeping, temporary translation services...
Patrol services, incident security, debt collection, road cleaning...
Information investigation, information delivery, various errand services, various temporary worker services... various agency services...
We accept various short-term or long-term commissions, arrange for relevant personnel to provide door-to-door service, and offer simple, flexible, and convenient contracts to provide timely and effective assistance to those in need.
this...
While Klein was slightly stunned, quite a few residents of Bridgewood District who had come "by reputation" went in to inquire.
Although this company is rather diverse and cannot compare with professional housing rental associations or domestic service associations, its advantage lies in its flexibility.
Professional domestic service associations accept long-term jobs, at least several months long. When the middle-class residents of the Joewood neighborhood are short-handed and need temporary workers, it can be quite troublesome to find help.
Now that there's a "comprehensive services company" like this, they'll naturally be very interested, even though it's a newly established company.
However, the fact that they can accept so many different kinds of commissions shows that they do have some practical capabilities.
Moreover, this company is said to have branches in the East End, Docklands, Joewood, and Bridgelands, so it should be quite professional.
I...
As Klein watched more and more people walk into that "integrated services company," he suddenly felt that his private detective career was about to be cut short before it even got off the ground.
Would a large, all-purpose agency like that compete with a small-time private detective like him for jobs?
Probably not.
Even if some simpler businesses are taken away, such as investigating extramarital affairs, finding missing persons, and business and economic investigations, the more complex businesses shouldn't be taken away, right?
Even though he tried to comfort himself with these thoughts, Klein still had a bad feeling. With a heavy heart, he walked into the comprehensive service company and saw some young receptionists. These women all had bright smiles on their faces and provided excellent service.
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"
One of the ladies, upon seeing Klein enter, immediately came up to greet him politely, led him inside, and enthusiastically offered various explanations and introductions.
Such a warm attitude and thoughtful service made Klein, who had only come in to take a look, feel a little embarrassed, and even gave rise to a feeling of...
Should I just buy something? But this isn't a store.
"Sir, please don't feel pressured. We are here to provide an introduction and explanation for someone like you who is interested in our company."
This is my job.
"Even if you don't need it right now, that's okay. You can learn about it first, and then come to us to entrust your business when you need it."
The young lady noticed Klein's embarrassment and offered words of comfort with a smile.
Even though Klein didn't seem inclined to offer any commissions yet, she didn't mind and continued her enthusiastic introduction.
Because she truly cherishes her current job. As a former "Nightingale" in the Huili Party's territory, she engaged in a very undignified job with unstable income, a complicated environment, and a certain degree of danger.
Now she works at the Jowood district station, where her income is more stable with a fixed weekly wage, and the working environment is safer.
The working hours are more regular, and there are also certain commissions and bonuses.
Most importantly, this job is undoubtedly more respectable, unlike before when it was hard work and you didn't get any respect.
Her current job is at least more meaningful, providing services to those in need, rather than her previous work as a prostitute.
This gave her some hope.
She also cherished this opportunity.
Seeing the other party's sincere eyes, Klein relaxed and patiently began to learn about this comprehensive service company.
It is said that their headquarters are located in the East District and have ample human resources, enabling them to help clients find reliable and reputable individuals to accept their commissions according to their needs.
"Most of the people coming here are probably looking for temporary work. Can you really find enough people to take on these tasks in such a short time?"
Although Klein understood how it worked, he still asked out of curiosity, since it was simple to say but quite complicated and troublesome to do.
For example, if the person accepting the commission suddenly changes their mind and runs away halfway through the work, then the intermediary company must compensate the commissioner for their losses.
"Yes, Mr. Moriarty, we can. The services we accept are mainly divided into two categories: one is the common type, which can be handled directly at the front desk, and the other is the more private type, which will be handled in a private room."
"Whether it's the former or the latter, we will assign the task to people we can trust, such as those with a fixed address and a fixed family."
"We also provide some jobs for the homeless, such as helping to clean the city, helping to move belongings, and helping to clean up sewer garbage. These are jobs we do in cooperation with the government. Only after we have built up enough trust will we start to provide some jobs for men or women."
Distribute them to them.
"As you know, some gentlemen may have some reservations about the status of a homeless person. We should respect their opinions and present some work experience for these gentlemen to evaluate."
The receptionist patiently explained.
Such a company inevitably deals with all sorts of people, but the predecessor of the Huili Party was engaged in shady businesses.
We have ample experience in this area.
Moreover, the "Hedonistic Trio" certainly held their own.
"What do you do for a living?"
The receptionist asked politely.
"I'm currently just a relatively unknown private investigator."
Klein chuckled with a hint of self-deprecation, saying that with someone stealing his business on the same street, he, as a private detective, would eventually be unable to make a living and would become a bounty hunter.
"Private investigator?"
"May I ask where you live? Perhaps we can establish some cooperation in the future."
The receptionist's smile became even more genuine. She had a good eye; this gentleman was clearly different from those rude fellows—he was a gentle and meticulous person. It would be even better if they could achieve some cooperation in the future.
