Chapter 17 The lights are gone
With a pink puffy skirt, white princess shoes, a fabric backpack on her back, and a high ponytail, the two wore exactly the same parent-child outfits. Akemi led her goddaughter Bei Bei out of the door, and many passers-by cast envious glances.
The driver sent Akemi and Bei Bei to the courier company where Li Guo used to work. This is a large factory in the industrial park of the suburban development zone, and the car drove for a long time without seeing half a figure, and Mingmei came to the doorman's mailroom with Bei Bei in her arms.
"Hello, uncle, I'm looking for someone." Akemi shouted through the glass to the uncle watching TV in the mailroom.
"Register." The uncle threw over a blue notebook, handed over a pen, sat back in his chair, and continued to watch TV.
"Okay." Akemi left her phone number and personal information on it, and then walked into the courier company.
Although it is large, the area is clearly divided, with the warehouse on the left and the place where the express packages are loaded and unloaded, the middle five-story office building, and the staff canteen and dormitory on the right. This enterprise is very formal, and it is a leader in the industry among the national express delivery companies. Being able to work here, Li Guo should be very satisfied, so he is reluctant to leave. Akemi walked towards the office building while thinking about how to convince Li Guo for a while.
Entering the office building, there was a security guard sitting in the main hall, and the security guard saw Akemi coming in with a child in her arms, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Hello, what's the matter?" The security guard was a little surprised, I had never seen anyone come to the company with a child and wear parent-child clothes, and it was the first time today.
"I want to find someone, his name is Li Guo, he turned out to be your courier here, and later participated in civilian training and was transferred to the headquarters." The last time I chatted with Li Guo, Li Guo mentioned this matter, and he excitedly posted a bunch of expressions at that time.
"Li Guo?" The security guard struggled to recall the name, and then asked the security captain on the hand.
After a while, a man about forty years old came down from upstairs and politely beckoned Akemi to enter the reception room on the first floor to rest.
"That's right, hello, I'm Li Guo's department head, and I promoted him to participate in civilian competitive training." The supervisor saw through the office window early in the morning that Akemi was stepping out of a new white Cayenne with her child. The mercenary villain's face was immediately revealed, and when he heard the security captain say that he was looking for Li Guo, he immediately ran over.
"Hello, I'm a friend of Li Guo, and I can't contact him, so I took the liberty to come to the company to find him." Akemi is also very polite.
The director took out some candy from the cabinet in the reception room and gave it to Bei Bei to eat, and then handed over a business card with both hands.
"This is a contemptible business card, I can't find Li Guo for the time being, he left, but we have an employee here who can contact him, they are small, I will send his contact information to your mobile phone later." In fact, Anzi is upstairs, and there is no need to leave any phone at all, and he just hopes to get Akemi's mobile phone number. Multiple friends and multiple roads, multiple rich friends, that is one more highway! The supervisor relies on his ability to climb power and attain nobility in order to have a place in the company.
Akemi was a little disappointed, she didn't see Li Guo, left her phone number, and left the courier company with Beibei.
As soon as I got in the car, I didn't go far when I received a call from Anzi.
"Are you looking for Li Guo?" Anzi didn't have a good tone, and asked impatiently.
"Yes, do you have his phone?" Akemi asked knowingly, because she wanted to see Li Guohou to have a reasonable explanation for the origin of the number.
"You're Akemi? The guy who opened the porridge shop? Anzi asked.
"It's a bookstore. Did Li Guo mention this to you? Akemi seems to see a little bit of hope.
"He went to work in another place, and his mobile phone number was changed, so I couldn't contact him." Without waiting for Akemi to say anything, Anko hurriedly ended the call.
Putting down the phone, Akemi had two questions in her mind. First, he and Li Guo have been in love for many years, and I have never heard him mention any small hair. If he is small and has worked in a unit, he must be a very important friend, but why didn't Li Guo mention anything about this person? Second, Li Guo is a very emotional person, and he said that he can't change his phone number, because after changing, many old friends who have lost contact with him will not be able to find him. Therefore, he has been using that familiar number for more than ten years.
Thinking of these two questions, Akemi has been uneasy in the car, and Bei Bei asks her questions, but she doesn't hear them. Her instincts told her that Anko was not a good person. According to Li Guo's character, with such a good buddy, he must be talking about it every day, and it is impossible not to even invite Anzi to the wedding. Why did Li Guo, who was immediately promoted to civilian position, leave his post? Left his job, didn't contact Akemi, didn't even be the owner of the bookstore, and went to the field alone? Then the only few relatives he has are in this city, and he can't be willing to leave. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Anzi's words were not credible, and this person also had a lot of doubts.
Akemi called her high school classmate Zhao Xin, who was a police academy student, and this classmate was a master of checking people. In the past, Akemi's mobile phone was lost, and the person who picked it up was very arrogant to use Akemi's mobile phone and refused to return it. It took Zhao Xin three days to find this person, not only found the phone, but also asked the person to apologize to Akemi in person. Zhao Xin can be said to be brave and resourceful, and worthy of trust and trust. Akemi told him Yasuko's phone number, and briefly explained why she wanted to check this person. Zhao Xin promised to give Akemi an answer as soon as possible.
The car drove for an hour, and when she returned to Xingfu Road in the city, Bei Bei was a little hungry, and Akemi took Bei Bei to drink red bean porridge.
The porridge shop is still the same, it hasn't changed at all, no matter what time it is, there are people waiting in line. There are some shabby signboards at the door that say five yuan a bowl of red bean porridge, which is slightly more expensive than other stores, but it is genuine, and the taste is not available in other restaurants.
After waiting in line for a while, there were finally two spots. Babe was hungry and ordered a lot of things to eat.
Bei Bei and Akemi really have a mother-daughter relationship, and they drank the red bean porridge cleanly, the little guy has the same taste as the godmother, and he especially likes the red bean porridge.
"Boss, another bowl." Akemi turned around and said to the boss behind her. Neither of them had enough to drink, and they planned to have half a bowl by themselves.
There was only half a curtain between the kitchen and the front hall, and the boss came out of the kitchen and answered. The moment Akemi turned her head, Li Guo saw the backs of Akemi and Bei Bei from the crack in the door curtain that the boss half-opened, and the two did not make eye contact, only some afterglow might be able to sweep each other. It's a pity that Akemi turned her head too fast and missed Li Guo.
Li Guo looked at the happy couple and smiled. I muttered in my heart, what a happy child, spoiled by a beautiful mother. I have been fatherless and motherless since I was a child, and I have fantasized countless times about my mother eating with me, but unfortunately I have never realized it. Every time I eat a bite of food at a relative's house, I suffer a lot of white eyes, they are all distant relatives, and it is already good to take them in kindly, and Li Guo does not expect people to treat him like his own parents. Every relative who has taken him in is on the list of Li Guo's thanks, no matter how poor and destitute, Li Guo will also buy some things to visit during the New Year's holiday.
Akemi and Beibei were full of food, and after thanking the owner, they left the red bean porridge shop. In this way, they missed each other, and everyone looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was there, and the lights were dim.
