Chapter 136: Searching
According to the information given by Wen Chongyi, Sixi went to the welfare home, and after so many years, the welfare home had long been rebuilt on the original site. Even the logo of the hospital has changed, and Sixi went directly to meet the person mentioned by Wen Chongyi, the former financial assistant of the welfare home, and now the acting director of the welfare home.
The acting director is a middle-aged man, with most middle-aged men who are bald and have a big belly.
"Acting Director, hello!"
"It's Ms. Wang, Mr. Wen said it in advance, please sit down." The acting director warmly greeted him and guided Si Xi to take a seat.
Before Si Xi could ask, the acting director said bluntly: "Ms. Wang's intention, Mr. Wen has already said, I should have been in this welfare home for almost 30 years, and the welfare home received social donations 12 years ago. ”
"Acting Director, you can help me see if I still have an impression of this." Si Xi handed him the key with the number plate.
The acting director took the key, with nostalgia on his face, "I lost the key before after moving to a new office, and now I still miss the days when I see it." He took a sip of tea, "This is the key to our old locker at that time, basically the whole hospital is of this specification, and the last time Mr. Wen arranged for people to come, they didn't find the cabinet No. 06." ”
Si Xi also understood that she shouldn't be able to find anything useful just by relying on the key number plate, otherwise Wen Chongyi would tell her directly, "Director, do you remember that a woman named Xiaohong came here more than ten years ago?" Well, she's a smuggler, and she still has a little girl, do you have any impressions? ”
"It's not that I don't help you, it's just that there were too many people who came and went in this welfare home in the early days, and it was difficult to check without names. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for you to smuggle the smuggling you are talking about, because we will look at the ID card of our employers, and we will not use them if we do not meet the employment standards. ”
"Acting Director, please think about it carefully, that little girl should have been surnamed Xiao when she first came, and her name was Xiao Yu." Si Xi didn't give up, but still wanted to ask.
The acting director thought carefully for a long time and shook his head, "I really can't think of it, but if there are children, there are files to check." However, the early archives are relatively concentrated, and it may be more difficult to query. This is undoubtedly good news, and Si Xi is still quite excited in his heart.
"It's okay, acting director, please help me with this, if I can, I'll find it myself."
"Then I'll make arrangements, Ms. Wang, but I may not be able to spare people to help you." After saying that, I made a phone call, and after a while, a staff member brought a bunch of keys.
"Ms. Wang, the materials of our early years are basically placed in a small room in the back warehouse, take you to have a look."
Si Xi followed the acting director all the way to the warehouse and saw an iron door with a sign on the door: Data room. When the door was opened, a puff of dust was stirred up. Inside the door are rows of iron shelves, and on the shelves are folders next to each other, and you can roughly see that some have labels and some do not. In the innermost part of the house, there are rows of lockers, some of which still have number plates, some of which are gone, and most of them are rusty.
"Thank you, acting director, if you have something, you can go and get busy, I'll take my time."
So much information Si Xi really didn't know where to start looking through, and finally she decided to take a look at the iron cabinet in the back, there were definitely more than 500 large and small visual inspections, Si Xi took a deep breath and made the stupidest but most practical way, that is, no matter how big or small, try them one by one with a key.
One, two, three...... Soon the first row was tried, but it couldn't be opened, Si Xi was actually more worried, this key would not be broken in this keyhole.
In this way, the morning passed, and she couldn't open it, and she knew that it was not so easy, so when the acting director came over to let her go to dinner, she also put away the key and went out.
In the afternoon, the work of testing the key continued, and the cabinet with the number plate D1-1 at the bottom of the seventh row was actually opened! Si Xi took out the contents of the cabinet, a letter and a music box, Si Xi did not rush to read the letter, but put everything in the bag. Then close the cabinet door, and continue to use the key to try other cabinets, I wanted to pretend, after all, she was able to come in by Wen Chongyi's relationship, but the welfare institute is estimated to have some confidential information of her own, she is not confident that she can rely on the relationship to let her look through the information at will, maybe there is a pair of eyes staring at her behind her.
Patiently, I continued to test the key, and I planned to go through the information after trying on a row. Unexpectedly, this key also opened a cabinet with a worn license plate, and there was a book in the cabinet, a book called "Dawn". According to Sixi's understanding, this book is a foreign masterpiece, preaching equality, democracy, and peace, and its readers are very limited.
Si Xi flipped through it at will, there was no mezzanine in it, and there was no other paper, except for some paragraphs with outlines and handwritten annotations, there was nothing else special, no matter three seven twenty-one, it was also in the bag. At this time, Si Xi was still glad after all, she came over with a backpack today, if it was a handbag, I am afraid she would not be able to take these things away.
Seeing that the time was almost 4 o'clock, Si Xi sped up the action of unlocking, and now she was not sure if the cabinet could be opened. A phone ringing interrupted her train of thought, "Mr. Wen, hello! ”
"Sixi, just call me Chongyi, did you go to the welfare home today to find what you were looking for?"
"No, there is too much information, and it is very messy, and it is very troublesome to find." Si Xi paused, "I want to come over tomorrow, do you have a way?" ”
Wen Chongyi's embarrassed voice came: "Today is the acting director to save face, after all, my rights are in the Wen Foundation, not in the welfare home." Si Xi secretly scolded treacherous, and said very respectfully: "Ah, then I haven't found it yet, what should I do?" ”
Sure enough, Wen Chongyi was silent for a while, "In this way, accompany me to a drinking party tonight, and I will accompany you to find it tomorrow, I believe that the acting director will not refuse." ”
"What drinking party? What if I go to disgrace you, you should let your secretary accompany you, I don't think I'm suitable. ”
"Sixi, don't say that, in any way we have been together, whether it is suitable for me knows best. That's it, someone will come to the welfare home to pick you up for styling, and call me if there is anything. ”
Si Xi pinched the phone for half a ring and didn't come back to his senses, when the voice of the acting director came from the door, "Ms. Wang, have you found it?" ”
Si Xi shook his head, "It's too much, I haven't found it, and the key can't be opened, the acting director thank you today, I have something to do in a while, so I'll leave first." ”
The acting director said with a smile: "It's okay, you can come over and have a look when you have time in the future, I came here to tell you that Mr. Wen sent a car to pick you up, right at the gate." ”
This speed is really fast, Si Xi nodded, put on his bag and went out with the acting director.
Sixi's appearance is more gorgeous, so the stylist painted her a charming makeup, with Sixi's original cold temperament, it is amazing, all the hair is tied up on the head, and it is embellished with rhinestones. The dress Wen Chongyi sent was a black slanted shoulder close-fitting long skirt, with some hollows at the waist on both sides to show a slender waist, revealing a delicate collarbone, with a pear-shaped diamond pendant platinum thin chain, the diamond pendant and the rhinestones on her head reflected each other, making Sixi's whole person look bewitching and cold.
As soon as this look came out, the stylists were full of praise, not to mention Wen Chongyi, who had just come in from outside the door, he saw Si Xi lose his mind for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, frowned, and quickly returned to coldness, and also covered up a flash of dislike.
The venue of the reception was on the fourth floor of the Grand Hotel, and when Wen Chongyi appeared at the reception with Sixi, it caused a commotion, not because of Sixi, of course, but because of Wen Chongyi's attendance.
Wen Chongyi is the successor of the Wen consortium, he basically doesn't attend the drinking party, even the family gatherings, he is the master who leaves when he shows his face, and this time he actually participated in the drinking party. The reception was organized by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, giving the members of the Business Alliance a platform for mutual communication. Every time, I sent invitations to large companies according to the number of courtesies, but whether people came or not was another matter. And this time the successor of the Wen consortium attended, how could it not cause a commotion.
I don't know who revealed the news of Wen Chongyi's attendance at the business reception, and soon the helmsmen of other large enterprises followed, pushing the atmosphere of the reception to a climax.
Wen Chongyi was holding Si Xi's waist and was dealing with people, Si Xi was going to eat something, but he didn't let him, commercial things, Si Xi didn't want to spend that brain, and he didn't want to be a vase by his side all the time.
Taking advantage of a little gap, she said to Wen Chongyi: "I'll go over there to eat something, you can go with your business, just call me when you leave." ”
Wen Chongyi pinched her waist, "Obedient, I'll take you over in a while, follow me first." Si Xi was unhappy, and at this time, a pot-bellied man came over with a glass of wine, and greeted Wen Chongyi with enthusiasm:
"Oh, Mr. Wen, hello hello! I am Zhao Nan of Jiamao Industry, and I am fortunate to meet you! This person named Zhao Nan stretched out his right hand to shake hands, but Wen Chongyi's hand holding Si Xi's waist never let go, and he held the wine glass with his other hand, which was a little embarrassing.
Wen Chongyi looked at Si Xi, Si Xi pulled his lips with a smile, he didn't speak, and he couldn't see this embarrassing situation. Wen Chongyi smiled and said to Zhao Nan: "Mr. Zhao, forgive me, my girlfriend has a temper, I'll take her to lose company." ”
Zhao Nan smiled, "Mr. Wen, you are busy." ”
Wen Chongyi took Sixi to the food area and asked her to sit on the sofa, and he went to bring her some pastries and fruits, and sat on the sofa together. Forked a mango to feed Si Xi, Si Xi dodged, how old people still need to be fed, and today Wen Chongyi is a little strange, it can't be said to be strange, usually the two of them are polite, and what Wen Chongyi did today is like announcing that Si Xi is his person.
One insisted on feeding, the other insisted on eating by himself, and was at a stalemate, when a surprised voice appeared to break the deadlock:
"Big brother, are you here too?"
