Chapter 42: Office Hall
Seeing him standing outside the store and smoking, I knew that this old brother was afraid of being embarrassed, it seemed that it was impossible to eat more of this meal, so I had to go out and ask Kaohsiung why he didn't eat much, whether he was thin and had a small amount of food. He spat out his cigarette and pointed at me: "I'm already full, and I still need to eat?
After a while, Huang Chengcheng rushed out with a few packed plastic bags and shook hands with the two of us: "Boss Gao, Boss Tian, I will try my best to introduce customers to you, but Boss Tian is Xinyin, if there is a tricky business, you still have to find Boss Gao to solve it! He has a strange temper, and he doesn't know where he has offended him, but he doesn't like me." But that's fine, with your boss Tian as the middleman, it will be easier to do more things in the future!" "I said of course, anyway, if I have a business, it means that you have money to take, and everyone makes money."
Listening to the conversation between the two of us, Kaohsiung snorted and did not respond.
After playing in Bangkok for more than two days, I asked Huang Chengcheng to follow the tour group and fly back to Guangzhou from Bangkok. On the plane, I saw that these tourists were basically from Anhui, and they all held a lot of rubies, jadeites or tourmaline jade pendants, and compared them with each other. I thought to myself, maybe they all bought it from Huang Chengcheng's jewelry store, how much money does this guy make every year from these tourists?
When I flew back to Shenyang from Guangzhou, the owner of the travel agency asked me what my relationship was with Huang Chengcheng, and I said that he was my godbrother. The boss said that I am a casual passenger with a group, and I have to fill in a lot of information to the airline every time, which is very troublesome. If it weren't for the relationship with Boss Huang, he wouldn't bring any individual customers. I immediately understood that the two sides had negotiated, and if I wanted to go to Thailand in the future, I would no longer need to be coordinated by Huang Chengcheng, I would directly give the travel agency owner an extra 200 yuan each time, and the Liaoning group would be sent to Bangkok and Chiang Mai at least twice a month, and I could follow at any time.
When I came out of the airport, I texted Zhang Na. She probably didn't want to meet me, so she asked me to use the same city express. After I got home, I sent the photos of eating, living, and traveling in Bangkok in the past few days, and asking for a card at Banna's house in Cuba on QQ. The next day, I received a text message from Zhang Na: "The Buddha card has been received, and a piece of paper is also attached, the front is the introduction of the Buddha card, the way to worship and the taboo, and the back is a few strings of mantras for entry, is it so complicated?"
I replied: "All Thai Buddhist cards are introductory with mantras, and they also have taboos and ways to worship. This butterfly card is a genuine card, it can not be worshipped, and the taboo must be observed. But if you want the effect to be obvious, it is better to make offerings, such as burning incense and praying often, and putting a few flowers and a bowl of water is ideal. ”
"It's not convenient to worship at home, but I have an empty house near the unit, can I worship these things there?" Zhang Na asked. I said of course you can, the amulet card does not look at the location, but only the person who is enshrined. Probably afraid that the way of worship would be wrong, Zhang Na asked me to take time to go with her empty house and give on-site guidance. I thought to myself, the administrative office hall of Tanglin District was quite far away from me, but for the sake of earning her a thousand yuan, I still agreed.
The public institutions all leave work at 4:30 p.m., and I came to Zhang Na's work unit downstairs 15 minutes early to wait. To save money, I didn't take a taxi, but took the bus, which was a full 20 stops. Zhang Na specially instructed me not to go into the hall to look for her, saying that the unit did not allow private meetings during working hours, so I stood at the door of the building and listened to the song with headphones. This is the administrative hall of the district, and not many people come in and out. A few minutes after arriving at the place, it suddenly began to rain, and I remembered that the weather forecast I received on my mobile phone in the morning said that it would rain in the evening, but I didn't bring an umbrella, so I had to hide in the hall first.
The hall is very spacious, but there are only five or six people doing business, and against the wall is a whole row of office windows, there are more than a dozen, it seems that these people are very idle, I am very envious. Looking left and right, I immediately found Zhang Na sitting in the window, she was wearing a navy blue women's suit uniform, and there were two people, a man and a woman, standing outside the window, doing errands. The man at the front said: "Comrade, in the morning, you said that there was a lack of a housing certificate, my family is in the countryside, and it took more than two hours to run back and forth, and now you say that there is a lack of a deed certificate. I'm going to get off work soon, and I have to take a leave of absence tomorrow, so if you tell me in the morning, wouldn't it be so troublesome?"
"You didn't ask me in the morning if I lacked anything else. Zhang Na was expressionless.
The man asked, "You've read all the materials, and I have to ask for just one sentence?"
Zhang Na pointed to the opposite wall, the man looked back, I also looked, and saw that there was a big word written on it: "Respond to requests, answer questions." The man suddenly had nothing to say, and I almost laughed out loud, thinking that there was nothing wrong with this, and I would answer all questions, and you didn't ask how people would answer you!
The man was so angry that he made a loud noise, Zhang Na seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and she didn't hurry, and directly pointed to the ladies in the back to come over to do business. The lady hurriedly squeezed over, and the man was both angry and helpless, and after arguing for a while, he walked out of the hall with the materials. The lady looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was half past four in less than five minutes, and she took out a lot of materials from her file bag and handed them over, saying, "This time it's all over, all the originals and copies." ”
Zhang Na carefully read each piece of paper, there were more than 30 materials, and just about to operate the computer, a dinging sound came from the counter. Zhang Na immediately threw the materials back to the counter, and the lady was dumbfounded and asked what was wrong. Zhang Na said: "I'm off work, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
The lady opened her mouth wide: "Didn't I have five minutes left when I started?"
"It's past when I started typing. Zhang Na said as she cleaned up the things on the table. The lady was so angry that she threw things and said what are you doing so slowly, and you read each one for half a minute. But Zhang Na ignored it completely, and the staff at the counter also packed up their things, most of them women, who put down the trap door of the window and walked into the inner door with their bags.
The lady walked out angrily, saw me standing next to me, thought I was also here to run errands, so she said: "People are off work, it's useless to wait!" A few minutes later, Zhang Na, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came out of the side door with an umbrella in her hand, and when she saw me, she seemed to be a little surprised, and before I could open my mouth, she had walked out of the hall quickly. Then several women came out, all of whom were staff members just now, who had changed into civilian clothes, and whispered and laughed as they walked.
Outside the hall, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and I didn't have an umbrella with me, so I had to take off my coat and put it on my head. Zhang Na walked very fast and crossed the road in a blink of an eye. I knew she didn't want her colleagues to know that someone was looking for her, so I had to follow closely. After walking about a street and a half, Zhang Na looked left and right to see if there were no colleagues walking together, and then stopped. I followed, and she was a little angry: "Didn't you ask you to wait outside?"
"Sister, you also know it's raining outside, and I'm still being watered!" I replied.
Zhang Na said: "Who do you blame if you don't bring an umbrella on a rainy day?" I was not surprised that she could talk like this, so I asked how to go. Zhang Na and I passed by the flower shop, and she went in to buy a bouquet of flowers, and then bought two boxes of Tibetan incense and a small incense burner at the jewelry store next door.
