Chapter 44: The Delayed Letter
"Since we can't help it, let's come. Looking back and thinking about yourself, when the time comes, others say that we are afraid of people paying more, but we are embarrassed! Yuan Yuxiao said with a smile.
"Are you starting to reflect on yourself again? Have you reflected three times today? Li Zhuo said with a smile.
"I just said it, the main thing is that there are few people to discuss, and there are many people talking, not for money, what are you talking nonsense?" Liu Shucheng was a little annoyed and angry, "Your character is always left and left, and right is right, and you don't have your own principles, so you took another tea!" ”
Yuan Yuxiao's face was hot when she heard this. It turns out that everything has roots. He took Liu Shucheng's words and thought about them carefully.
"Hey, why hasn't Jin Daotong come back yet?" Li Zhuo heard Liu Shucheng mention tea, and suddenly remembered to ask.
"Really......" Mr. Liu said.
At this time, everyone felt that he had indeed been out for some time, could it be that the peasant woman was so powerful, and he still couldn't handle that matter well?
"Yuan Yuxiao, go and see what's going on." Liu Shucheng said.
Yuan Yuxiao got up and left, but when she got to the door, she bumped into Jin Daotong, who had just come in.
"How's it going?" Yuan Yuxiao hadn't yet stood firm, so he asked anxiously, he was naturally the person who cared most about this matter.
Before Jin Daotong could answer, Liu Shucheng suddenly said: "Boy, you really know how to hide!" ”
Yuan Yuxiao and Li Zhuo were confused by this headless and brainless sentence, and looked back at Liu Shucheng.
"Will you hide? What to hide? Brother Cheng, master! Jin Daotong was a little surprised, and when he heard this tone, he quickly laughed.
"Director Zhang came to talk about the addition of people to our group, you don't want to oppose Director Zhang, and you don't want to go against your brothers, just stay out of the way and don't come in for half a day!" Liu Shucheng said.
"This is really wronged, Brother Cheng, how did I know that Director Zhang was here to talk about this, I thought it was for the tea matter!" Jin Daotong still laughed.
"You're so smart, you can't think of it, I don't believe it!" Liu Shucheng said.
"Brother Cheng, actually, whether he knows it or not, whether he participates in the opposition or not, can't decide the outcome of the matter, right?" Yuan Yuxiao naturally had to help Jin Daotong defend himself.
"That's what I said, it's just ......" Liu Shucheng swallowed the second half of the sentence, held the teapot and continued to drink tea.
"Brother Cheng, if I want to hide outside because I am afraid of Director Zhang's criticism because I took the tea, it makes sense. If I can guess that Director Zhang is talking about personnel transfers, Brother Cheng, you really think highly of me, and I can't pinch and calculate, this kind of thing is also the first time I have seen it, how can I know the pace of the leader, how can I expect that the head of the white unit will walk on the front foot, and Director Zhang will come for this on the back foot, and he is called by the tea seller! Jin Daotong seemed to be a little anxious by Liu Shucheng, and the rhythm of his speech was enough to run for 100 meters.
Liu Shucheng suddenly laughed, "Haha, a joke can make you rush like this, it doesn't seem to be hopeless!" ”
Yuan Yuxiao didn't understand what was hopeless about Jin Daotong, but Jin Daotong's expression was already relaxed, "Brother Cheng is not joking, it's just a joke, it's really scary to death!" He also laughed, and then asked, "Director Zhang talked to you about adding people just now, what was the result?" Without waiting for an answer, he immediately solved his own question, "Oh, since Yuxiao said that if she opposes it or not, it can't decide the outcome of the matter, that is, they will definitely come!" ”
"Needless to say." Li Zhuo said, "You are relatively good at speaking, but I am interested in knowing, if you were here just now, what would you say?" ”
"Brother Cheng is here, don't say I can speak or something!"
"Don't be sloppy, I'm just interested in knowing what you'll have to say!" Li Zhuo did not relent.
Jin Daotong was forced to be helpless, so he had to smile and say, "Me...... I'll have to see what Director Zhang has to say. ”
"He said that if he didn't agree to add people, then he would have to make a guarantee that he would be able to show out the tax stamps we issued if he met any vendor outside!"
Jin Daotong frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Then you will promise him!" ”
Li Zhuo and Yuan Yuxiao exchanged glances, and then looked at Liu Shucheng, who was leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes, as if he was dozing off.
"Can this be promised? Are you sure? Yuan Yuxiao asked.
"Did he really check it? It's just that he checked, and he took the vendor back to confront us? Fight for this idle person, and still be the governor! ”
"You must have eavesdropped on us outside!" Yuan Yuxiao said.
"Eavesdropping on what?" Jin Daotong had a puzzled expression, Yuan Yuxiao looked at him carefully, as if to judge from his expression whether his puzzlement at the moment was true or false, "Is it really......" he asked in a lengthened voice.
"Yuan Yuxiao, how can you be like a child, it's not surprising that Jin Daotong can think of this layer, his level of handling things is indeed higher than you, a cut above all of you!" Liu Shucheng closed his eyes and said calmly.
Yuan Yuxiao was already convinced of Jin Daotong, so she didn't dare to say anything, just covered up her embarrassment with a light cough, and then quickly changed the topic, "How about that matter you handled?" "That's what he really cares about.
"I'll give this back to you first." Kim Daotong smiled and handed him the one-dollar bill he had just thrown at the peasant woman.
"I'm not going to ask for this! I'm so creditless! Yuan Yuxiao said.
"You're making a mistake again! Do you need to be trustworthy with that kind of villain! Take it! It's not your business, I'm coming back, this little thing can't be done, how can I be called Jin Daotong! ”
Yuan Yuxiao said in her heart, oh, you have to be a little qualified to be called Jin Daotong, well, you are ruthless!
"How do you ...... And that? As soon as he remembered what had just happened, he was still angry.
"I'm ......" Jin Daotong glanced at Liu Shucheng, Liu Shucheng didn't look at him, just opened his eyes, and casually chose one of the books on the table and flipped it up.
"I just told her directly, the person who lost this money didn't take your tea, you know, I know, everyone understands it in their hearts, right, so this money can't be given to you. Don't think that if you pick up this load of tea, you can mess around. I tell you responsibly, as long as you still need to do business in our city, no matter which district and which street, don't touch us, we all know you, your name and address are on the tax stamp stub, if in the future, you may need to go to the tax bureau on behalf of + to open a temporary business invoice, I just need to copy down your name and address, and leave a copy in each generation + window, you may not be able to open a ticket! ”
Yuan Yuxiao listened to it one by one, "That...... So what did she say? ”
"What does she dare to say, the day we deducted her tea together, she was afraid of me, and of course she is still afraid of me now, if she is not afraid of me, why don't you dare to identify me in front of Director Zhang, do you say it!"
"This ...... Quite right. Yuan Yuxiao thought, anyway, you are the nemesis of businessmen, there is no way to do this. He has always been happy and sincere with Jin Daotong.
"That'...... Thank you then, although it's not a dollar, I can't swallow this breath! He was still angry.
"Then forget about this dollar for ice cream!" Li Zhuo said with a smile.
"Okay!" Yuan Yuxiao threw it to him, he took it, and went out with a smile.
"It's not over yet...... Kim Daotong smiled, "I said she made a little mistake in starting that tax stamp, and I'm coming back......"
"What do you mean?"
"I got a new one and changed the expiration date to today! It's almost evening. If she doesn't work extra night today and has a profit, it will be equivalent to taking an expired invalid ticket. ”
"This ...... Is it appropriate? Yuan Yuxiao asked.
Liu Shucheng snorted in his nose.
Jin Daotong put his hand on his shoulder, and his expression suddenly became very solemn, "Whether this is suitable or not, I really don't know, I only know that well-wishers should be respected as they deserve, and ungrateful should be punished, and tolerance for evil is cruelty to good!" ”
"But......" Yuan Yuxiao thought, it all sounded right, and it was relieving to do it, but it just felt weird.
"If you think I'm faking the public and that this is not in line with your education, then I ask you, what else can I do to achieve my goal?"
Yuan Yuxiao thought about it, but it was too. What else could he do?
"You're not afraid that she will go to Director Zhang to sue you again?"
"After talking for a long time, you turned back again! If she wants to sue me, she can sue me for taking tea from the beginning! Isn't it? So to speak, she never dared in front of me! Because she was already afraid of me from the first time she saw her on the street that day! ”
Yuan Yuxiao thought about it carefully, it really made a lot of sense, and just thinking about it, Li Zhuo came back with a few ice creams in a plastic bag, and said to Yuan Yuxiao: "There is a letter from the communication room that has been returned, I remember that Ling Jiamin said that you have an old classmate surnamed Yu Xiao or something, I don't know if it's your ......."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Yuxiao had already shot like a cannonball into the communication room.
He didn't have time to think about how there could be a "returned letter", and it only took about ten seconds from hearing this to grabbing the letter in his hand.
It was the letter he sent to Yu Xiaolu a few days ago that was returned!
The reason for the rejection is really ridiculous...... He forgot to put a postage stamp!
He would not have made such a mistake, and he usually double-checked it before sending a letter.
But that morning, when he was about to enter the post office with the letter, because Jin Daotong came up to read the letter curiously, he was momentarily weak, and hurriedly stuffed the letter into the mailbox, so such an accident occurred.
Since the letter had been returned, he had to check it carefully, thinking of the conversation with Mo Qing that night, he felt more and more as if he had a thousand catties of burden on his shoulders, so he planned to rewrite the letter at night.
Unexpectedly, at dinner, my mother said with a smile that the factory showed Hong Kong martial arts videos today, and the three consecutive performances of "Hong Kong Little Godfather", "Tiger and Crane Double Fist" and "Tiger Descending the Mountain" were performed in a row, and I wanted to take him to see it, which was a rare opportunity. After eating, I went to the factory with my mother, and there was a sea of people at the door, and four or five doormen sweated and let people in from the small door, screening them one by one. Then I entered a small auditorium, where four televisions hung high, and the audience was huddled into a pile. It's already midnight after watching the three videos, and when I go home, I don't even want to wash my feet and spread out on the bed - I didn't lose sleep all night!
The next day, it was Liu Side's nineteenth birthday, and he invited some classmates to his house in the evening, and tossed it for half a night.
On the third day, Cheng Shangneng's grandmother passed away, and each person in the stock scraped together five dimes of incense money, and in the evening, he had to send a few representatives to bring money and attend the memorial service by the way. He and Cheng Shangneng were in the same class at the Finance School, so they went to participate.
It was not until the evening of the fourth day that I calmed down and carefully rewrote the letter, and the next day I carefully checked it and sent it.
It's not that he can't squeeze out bits and pieces of time to finish the letter during the day, but he just has to spend a relatively complete and quiet time doing such a solemn thing. However, he could not have predicted that every day of this delay would mean a lot to him!
After resending the letter, he didn't wait for Yu Xiaolu's reply for nearly two weeks.
This is the first time they have written a letter in so many years of knowing each other. Moreover, the first letter is a love letter. This letter is significant, not only because it is the first, but also because in the letter he clarified the relationship between the two and made a solemn promise. Therefore, he was looking forward to replying to the letter.
Yuan Yuxiao felt that Yu Xiaolu should definitely reply. She didn't reply, and he felt a little embarrassed to see her. He hoped that the next meeting would be the best after getting an accurate answer from her.
Yu Xiaolu didn't reply to the letter for a long time, so he couldn't let go of something in his heart, and he didn't know what to do next.
Still, he wasn't too upset by this. Because he is a man who lives according to habit. And between him and Yu Xiaolu, there has never been a letter, so his letter is an exception, and she does not reply to the letter, which is not a violation of their habit of interacting.
Perhaps, she is not accustomed to writing letters to convey such a significant meaning?
But another thing violates habits, that is, Yu Xiaolu not only did not reply to the letter during this time, but also never even called. This really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
