Chapter 173: Toll-free calls
"But I always feel that today's things are not simple, and they are different from what you have encountered before. Don't think I'm cursing you, my dear, I'm a woman, I have a sixth sense. I advise you to go home tonight and see what the hell is going on, what do you say?" Fang Fang looked at Chen Gong and asked softly.
"Okay, I'll go back and have a look after I'll finish dinner with you. Alas, every time I go back to that house and see a room full of women, I get annoyed to death! Chen Gong stared at Fang Fang gloomily and said.
"Okay, my dear, you must be happy. What we have to do in the future is very important, whether we can succeed or not depends on you!" Fang Fang said sweetly, slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to Chen Gong's side, took his arm and snuggled up, and walked into the room together.
At the same time, Lu Yao, who was still walking in the rain on Shahe Road, was already out of breath and had a dry mouth. Pain and exhaustion also plagued him. As he walked along the rain-soaked road, he felt more and more overwhelmed. He was eager to find a place to drink a bowl of hot porridge and have a bed to sleep in.
If it had been yesterday, none of this would have been a problem. Now, it's all a luxury.
He secretly encouraged himself that he must not stop, he must get out of the city as soon as possible, return to the pine forest area, find a job near Fuwei Village, settle himself down first, and take care of Ah Ying and Wuhuahua in secret in the future.
He made this decision because an hour earlier, he had witnessed a traffic accident that pierced him deeply.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, after he was blasted out by the security guard at the gate of the villa, he stood on the side of the road and waited for more than an hour, without waiting for Wang Hai to drive in and out of the gate of the villa.
The pain in his body, as well as the extreme sleepiness and torture, made him exhausted and unable to wait any longer. But he couldn't go out to look for a job with this jar of medicine and wine, so he thought that when he was buying medicine at the pharmacy opposite just now, he saw a red landline phone on the counter. He decided to go to the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist to see if he could borrow their phone for free.
When Lu Yao appeared at the door of the pharmacy wearing a wet raincoat and holding a jar of medicine and wine, the pharmacist was taken aback when he saw it, thinking that Lu Yao came back to ask him to return the money, because the medicinal materials he sold to Lu Yao just now were indeed more expensive. He asked worriedly, "Little brother, you haven't left yet, what's wrong, is it raining too much, or is it too far away from where you live?"
"No, my uncle lives in the villa area opposite, and the security guard won't let me in. Lu Yao replied truthfully.
"Oh, the villas are all rich people, and most people don't give them. Since your uncle lives inside, you can ask the security guard to call and ask your uncle's nanny to come out and pick you up!" said the pharmacist.
"The security guard called, but the nanny said my uncle was on a business trip. She didn't make it clear, and I couldn't explain it, so the security guard blasted me out. Lu Yao said helplessly with a wry smile.
"Well, what can I do for you? Oh? You want to use our pharmacy phone, right? Yes, our landline phone is all external. Calls to the city cost a minute, and you can't make long-distance calls for the time being. One dollar for a pager, no charge for answering a phone call within one minute, one piece for every two minutes after one minute, and two minutes for less than two minutes. The pharmacist said.
"Huh, so expensive, but ······"
"Oh, you're out of money! Okay, I'll call you toll-free! Are you calling a landline or a pager?" asked the pharmacist.
"I'll call the pager. Lu Yao replied.
"Okay, you can fight. No hurry, no one came out to call on a rainy day. Do you need my help?" asked the pharmacist.
"No, I'll call, thank you!" Lu Yao gently put the jar of medicine and wine on the ground, thought about Wang Hai's pager number, and began to dial the number. After the phone was connected, he quickly finished his words, and stood firmly on the edge of the counter waiting for Wang Hai to call back.
"Little brother, there is a stool next to it, sit down and wait. It's okay, it's okay if the stool is wet, I'll just wipe it later. ”
As soon as the pharmacist's voice fell, the phone rang. The pharmacist quickly picked up the microphone: "Hey, this is the health pharmacy! Who are you looking for? Oh, paging back! Yes, he's here, please wait." The pharmacist then handed the microphone to Lu Yao.
"Brother Wang Hai, I'm Lu Yao! I'll bring medicine and wine to my uncle, but the security guard at the gate won't let me in, please come out and pick me up, okay?"
"Lu Yao, I accompanied my boss on a business trip. You don't have to worry, I'll call the babysitter right away and ask them to pick you up at the gate. Anything else?" asked Wang Hai on the phone.
"Oh, no, goodbye!" Lu Yao's two eyes kept glued to the display on the landline, the number flashed to fifty-seven seconds, and he immediately hung up the phone.
"Little brother, don't be in such a hurry. Since your uncle lives in the villa area opposite, we are also neighbors, and we will meet often in the future, and we can also be friends. Do you still need to call?" asked the pharmacist.
"No need, thank you!" Lu Yao smiled and said gratefully.
In fact, he really wanted to call Wu Jingsheng and Ning Hao, but he didn't know the phone number of the stone yard. He also wanted to call Hao Dachun, it was class time, and he felt that it was not good to disturb his study.
He also wanted to call Haotianlu and ask about the work over there, and he considered that it would add hemp to Haotianlu. Once Haotian Road knew that he had come out of the orchard, he would most likely send a driver to pick him up. At present, he has not yet decided whether to go to Nanguang City for development.
He thanked the pharmacist, picked up the jar of medicine and wine, walked out of the pharmacy, and walked towards the gate of the villa.
When he reached the sidewalk, which was still ten meters away from the sentry box, he stopped and looked up at the gate. Through the dripping rain, I saw a woman about 40 years old, standing next to the sentry box with a black umbrella and looking out.
Lu Yao recognized it at a glance, he was Zeng Youliang's nanny. He hurriedly walked over to the sentry box and shouted, "Auntie, I'm Lu Yao, and I'm here to bring medicine and wine to my uncle." ”
"Lu Yao, come in, are your clothes wet?" the nanny asked with concern.
"Hey, stop, talk about you!" shouted the security guard at Lu Yao. Then he turned around again and asked the nanny kindly, "This eldest sister, where are you working as a nanny?"
