Chapter II: Provincial Accountability

Yesterday, after Chen Long learned that Chen Fa at the head of the village had reported that his wife was missing, he hurried to the field to find his mobile phone and go home to charge it. After that, he called the matchmaker company in the provincial capital, but the person who answered the phone pushed him to ask for a refund of the advance payment he had paid, which made Chen Long very annoyed and anxious......

Because of the suddenness and urgency of the incident, Chen Long decided to rush to the provincial capital to find them in person......

Ten years ago, Chen Long was introduced by a border matchmaker and spent more than 20,000 yuan to marry a very well-behaved, obedient and beautiful foreign girl as his wife, and later gave birth to a daughter and a son for him. His hard-working, kind, and obedient wife has been praised and recognized by many people in the village, especially those poor and seriously overaged old bachelors, who dream day and night that they want to marry a foreign girl like his wife.

However, three years ago, his wife fell into the mountain and died unexpectedly when she went up the mountain alone to cut wood......

Unexpectedly, less than half a year ago, a few poor old leftover men in this village and neighboring villages went to the provincial capital to spend tens of thousands of yuan to marry their wives through the so-called regular "multinational matchmaking company", and they ran away collectively in half a day! And Chen Long also signed a contract with the multinational matchmaking company a month ago and paid 20,000 yuan in advance for a "referral fee", hoping to introduce one to him through this matchmaker company, but now it seems impossible.

Yesterday he hurriedly went to the county railway station to buy a ticket to take the train to the provincial capital, it was already evening, to the provincial capital directly to the matchmaker company found that it had been closed after work, but he had to find a cheap hotel nearby to live.

He came to the matchmaker company early this morning during work. This company is not very big, divided into two floors, but the decoration is very elegant and chic, the entrance of the first floor is the reception hall, the wall of the hall is posted with many photos of handsome men and beautiful women, and a lot of happy and sweet couples are married photos. In a few blind date rooms, one or two handsome men and beautiful women dressed fashionably and decently came in and out from time to time.

Chen Long waited in the reception hall for most of the day, but the manager in charge never came, which made him very impatient!

"Is your manager in charge coming? When do you have to wait?" Chen Long walked to the reception desk again and said angrily to the little girl sitting at the table, "I've been waiting here for a long time, isn't my business important? If you don't come, I'll call the police!"

Looking at Chen Long's angry face, especially when she heard the word "call the police", she seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly said politely with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, I'll call our manager to urge him to come quickly." Come on, I'll pour you another glass of water, and you sit down and drink and wait patiently. As she spoke, the little girl got up to pour water for Long Chen.

"Don't pour me water, I've had a lot of drinks since the morning! You call immediately and tell your manager to come immediately, otherwise, I'm welcome!"

"Okay, okay. Please be patient sir and wait...... I called him right away. The little girl quickly grabbed the phone on the stage and dialed it.

Chen Long walked back to the hospitality sofa next to him and sat down, grabbed the paper cup on the coffee table and squeezed it into a ball, and threw it to the corner of the wall angrily, his face was a little red with anxiety. He was really worried that this money would not come back, for him, this is not a small amount, now that he thinks about it, the original idea is too beautiful and simple, he can't imagine that this society is really complex and changeable.

After the little girl at the front desk called urging, sure enough, someone came soon. A young and handsome young man wearing a brown suit, leather shoes and a red tie, carrying a black leather bag, politely took Chen Long to the innermost manager's room on the second floor, and poured Chen Long a cup of hot tea. Then he sat down in his manager's chair and said to Chen Long with a smile and apology:

"This big brother, I'm really sorry, because there are too many temporary things and I can't arrive in time, please understand. We will definitely take care of your affairs for you and give you a satisfactory answer. ”

"I don't want any satisfactory answer from you, I just want to get my money back now!" Chen Long didn't drink the cup of tea, but put the tea down on the countertop, pushed it, and stared at him with a serious face.

"Big brother, don't worry, listen to me slowly. We are a regular company, and every business thing that the company does is carried out in accordance with the rules and procedures. Yesterday's incident of running away is not the same thing as the matchmaker's engagement you asked us to introduce. ”

"Hehe, it's not the same thing? The girls who ran away are all from a certain country, and it has only been less than half a year, and they have all conspired to run away at once, this is a premeditated fraud! You still want to help me introduce me again, who dares to ask for it?...... Do you know, from yesterday to now, those who have run away from their wives have kept calling me, and some people have come to the door and asked me to help me find my wife, and even asked me to go to a certain country to find their wives back...... What has become of me?"

"This big brother, then this is their fault, and their wives were not introduced by you, let alone you arranged for them to run away, so the responsibility is not yours. In fact, from yesterday to now, they have also called us, and after we learned about the situation, they also arranged for someone to investigate the situation as soon as possible, and even reported the case with them...... Big brother, no one wants something to happen, this is also unexpected, our matchmaker company has never had such a thing, and we are also anxious and worried now...... But what's the use of worrying? Now that something has happened, we still have to calm down and think seriously about what to do...... This still has to be carried out according to the procedure......"

"You guys are shirking! Asking for so much money from a wife, more than 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, this is not a small amount, and our people's money is not as simple as picking up leaves...... What did you say in the beginning? What did you say, how nice it sounded, what kind of promises, and what kind of promises, but what turned out to be? It's all a premeditated deception!"

"Big brother, please don't say that! We sign contracts and press fingerprints to do things, and at the beginning, we all signed contracts, including yours, and we also signed contracts with fingerprints. ”

Hearing this, Chen Long was about to explode, and he raised his voice and retorted: "You are a bunch of nonsense! The contract you signed with them is that you will only run away for half a year, hehe, the time is really accurate, and when the time is up, they all run away at once, how do you explain it?"

"Big brother, can we be blamed for this? They are not commodities, they are all human beings, they have hands, feet, brains and eyes, there is always a reason for accidents, maybe after marrying them, they find that they are not as good as they imagined, maybe they were abused or something, which caused them to run away, who knows the reason?"

"Okay, I don't want to listen to your prevarication debate, I'm asking you seriously now, can all the money I have handed over to you be returned to me?" Chen Long didn't have the patience to listen to him anymore, and stood up to make a final questioning showdown with him.

"This big brother, don't worry, don't worry, sit down, I'll tell you......" Seeing this, the young manager immediately stood up nervously, and the friendly An Fu motioned for Chen Long to sit down, "I have already told you at the beginning, we will definitely handle your affairs well and give you a satisfactory answer." Big brother, you have to understand that you came to our company with enthusiasm and asked us to find a girl from a certain country to be your wife, and you have already signed a contract, so now that you are here, you must also solve it according to the procedures of the signed contract. Do you understand?"

"Then what do you want to do to return my money back to me? It's been more than a month now, and I haven't even seen the shadow of a girl, are you going to swallow my money like this?" Chen Long felt that the money he wanted to get back was really hanging, and he was even more anxious. The original contract was to introduce a girl from a certain country to 50,000 yuan, sign the contract and pay 20,000 yuan in advance, and pay the last 30,000 yuan after arranging to meet the girl and successfully get married.

At this time, a woman wearing a long white skirt who claimed to be nearly forty years old when she entered walked in, and greeted from a distance: "Manager Wang, you find out the contract he signed with our company to introduce the matchmaker, see how the contract is written, and we will deal with him according to the contract." ”

Mr. Yang sat down on the chair next to Chen Long, smiled at him a little, and then said regretfully: "This handsome guy, you can't just withdraw from the contract and break the contract, you asked us to help you introduce the girl, and it is not easy for a girl from a certain country to come to our country, and it takes time to go through the formalities! Maybe you are on the way to come now, how can you tell us to explain to others if you toss it like this?"

"What kind of girl are you introducing, as soon as the contract period arrives, all the bees are running away, who would dare to ask for such a girl?...... I don't care what you say, I just have to get my money back now!"

"Handsome guy, why are you so unreasonable at first glance?"

"Who is unreasonable now!" Chen Long stood up excitedly, with an angry face.

At this time, Manager Wang found out the contract signed by Chen Long and them from the filing cabinet: "Big brother, don't get excited, now let's look at the contract together and see how we agreed on the contract." As he spoke, he opened the contract and pushed it to Long Chen.

Chen Long didn't look at it seriously, just glanced at it, closed the contract and pushed it away: "I don't care what the contract is, I just need to return my money now!"

"Handsome guy, don't be so unreasonable, okay?...... In this way, you can take a slow and serious look at the contract we signed here, and then we will discuss with you what to do next. Mr. Yang picked up the contract on the table and put it in Chen Long's hand, then waved his hand at Manager Wang, and gestured with a look, "Manager Wang, you go out with me for a while, and let him take a look at the contract here first." ”

When Manager Wang heard what Mr. Yang said, he left Chen Long and followed Mr. Yang out of the manager's room quickly.

As soon as they walked away, Chen Long opened the contract he had signed with them before and looked at it slowly. At that time, when the contract was signed, the wish idea was very beautiful and simple, and they also said it beautifully, saying that signing the contract was just a formality, so he didn't read what was written on the contract at that time, and they told him to sign there and sign there,...... Now that I think about it, it's just a trap!

The contract is densely packed with small texts, three pages, and more than 20 clauses...... If you don't follow the contract, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get the money back. ...... He began to worry more anxiously!

Not long after, Manager Wang and Mr. Yang returned to the office one after another. Mr. Yang poured a cup of tea again, politely put it in front of Long Chen, and said with a smile on his face: "Handsome guy, come and have a cup of tea." Let me tell you, we can give you back your money, but you have to do us a small favor first, and even we will give you another fee when it is done. ”

Chen Long couldn't believe his ears, is there such an easy and lightweight thing? Just now he was still looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility, but now it has suddenly become so crisp, what kind of medicine are they selling in their gourd?

"You have to count when you talk, tell me, what kind of little favor do you want me to help?"

"That's right, you went on a blind date with a girl on our behalf this afternoon, and when the blind date is over, we will return your money to you. ”

Oh my God, what kind of busy is this! This stunned Chen Long's ears,

"Mr. Yang, please explain clearly, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"Handsome guy, then I'll just talk to you. That's right, we made an appointment this afternoon that a girl is going to go on a blind date with one of our handsome customers, because the handsome guy has something temporary and can't come from out of town, and you and the handsome guy are relatively similar in terms of appearance and height, so I want you to replace it to complete this blind date. ”

"This ...... Is that okay?"

"Yes, if you agree, we will explain the situation to you in more detail so that you know what to do. Okay?"

...... After Mr. Yang and Manager Wang explained to him in detail, Chen Long figured it out. It probably means that he is asked to pretend to be a successful single unmarried man and go on a blind date with an unmarried lady who has come to find a partner.

Isn't this just a foolish business! What kind of behavior is this matchmaking company doing......

But after the two of them took turns to attack and grind, Chen Long was still convinced. He was next trained for the shortest period of time...... The detailed personal information of the substitute object, including name, date of birth, ID number, place of birth, place of work, family background, career, etc., as well as precautions for blind dates, words and deeds, treatment of people, and some simple personal information of the person who came to the blind date...... The sudden "work", and the time is so urgent, fortunately, Chen Long is a person with a strong memory and acceptance ability, otherwise, it is difficult for anyone to be qualified for this "job".

......

Everything is ready, and a "blind date show" is about to be staged......
