Chapter 1 Undeliverable Packages
By the time I was twenty-four, I had already been fired by eight businesses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I'm unemployed.
I am a computer programmer, that is, a programmer. I use the oldest ****** computer, and I will only use the most cumbersome VC++ to write software. But other companies have replaced the latest LCD computers, as well as visualstudio software programming, this kind of computer and software I have not been in contact with at all, and I can't play it.
Like me, there is also my college classmate, Ma Qiwen. This guy is even more pitiful than me, and it is said that there are more than a dozen companies that don't want this guy, and even every company has said that no company will accept a programmer like Ma Qiwen.
A man who has no regrets in his twenties and stands in his thirties, and many successive setbacks weigh on my whole body, allowing me to inherit my father's field and live a hard life of sunrise and income.
One day I went to the town to buy fertilizer and stumbled upon a small advertisement posted on the wall of the agricultural station.
I used to go to school in a big city, and I often saw people putting small advertisements on the walls, which were nothing more than Miss Bao, all kinds of certificates. Either it is to buy sperm at a high price, and a certain product treats venereal diseases.
What really caught my eye was a plain piece of A4 paper with a job posting written on it.
All people express (pseudonym) company is now recruiting two couriers, the age is not limited, male is the best, day shift and night shift in turn, generous treatment, address Shajiagou Beicheng old area Beimen Road No. 104, contact Mr. Zhuang, contact information 184......
I thought to myself, I'm a programmer, which can't be the same as the courier's eight poles, should I apply for a job. If you don't apply, you have to face the loess with your back to the sky, and go to Shajiagou with an attitude of trying.
Shajiagou is a small city in the north of our town, sparsely populated, but rich people are everywhere, at a glance all are driving Mercedes-Benz BMW, far away from our town, it took more than two hours to arrive. In the courier company, I found Mr. Zhuang, who was in charge of recruitment, who looked to be in his forties, wearing a pair of metal-framed round eyes, with his head down and not knowing what he was looking at, and laughing from time to time.
When he saw someone coming in, he immediately put away the things in his hand and came over to shake hands with me.
After sitting down, Mr. Zhuang asked in a cold voice, "What's your name?" Have you ever worked as a courier? ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, "My name is Tang Jiale, and I haven't worked as a courier." ”
"Oh? Haven't worked as a courier? Well, I think about it! Mr. Zhuang looked at me, thought for a moment, and said: "In this way, the probation period is 1800 yuan, the salary is 1800, the work is 8 hours, the day shift and the night shift are rotated, including food and accommodation, and you can also go home to eat and drink." You think about it. ”
Mr. Zhuang's tone gave me the feeling of a teaching gentleman, like us farmers, where there are 1,800 oceans in a month, it would be good to have 1,000 in the sky. Besides, the farmer's schedule is never fixed, and I can only think about it in my dreams for 8 hours, so I was about to nod my head in agreement, but Mr. Zhuang said again: But there are a few points you have to pay attention to.
I nodded, "Hmm." You said. ”
"You have to be on time to get your shipment on time, not even a minute! After the delivery is signed, you have to leave in five minutes at most and then return. On the way back, if someone asks you to send a courier, it is not allowed. If no one signs for the delivery, it is not allowed to be brought back. And also. Mr. Zhuang pointed to an iron door and said in a solemn tone: "That door, unless it is requested, should never be opened." Smoking, drinking, and gambling are not allowed. ”
I nodded, I feel that these things are very reasonable, but at the same time I feel that something is wrong, no one can sign for the courier can not be brought back, do you have to throw it away? However, looking at Mr. Zhuang's resolute affection, in order to no longer face the loess and turn his back to the sky, he nodded and said clearly.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, for a long time, took out a key from his clothes, handed it to me, and said, "If there is nothing else, you can go to work today." This is the key to the dormitory. ”
I got a set of white overalls in the office, I went home first, explained the situation to my parents, and took my clothes and bedding to the express company.
As soon as the bed was made in the dormitory, Mr. Zhuang called and said that there was an express mail, and he was in a hurry and asked me to send it over. I put on my overalls, picked up the express, and left the courier company.
The express is a large box, about 2 meters long, about 60 centimeters high, and about 45 centimeters wide, like a refrigerator in a household appliance. The box is strange and heavy, what is inside, I don't know, there is no explanation on the tracking number, only the recipient's address, no contact information. The address is No. 104, Unit 4, Rose Community.
Approaching seven o'clock, every street in Shajiagou was crowded with more people, and there were barbecue stalls on both sides of the road, and I rode an electric tricycle to the Rose Community. I am also familiar with Shajiagou, but fortunately there is a map, and Mr. Zhuang said that it will be delivered within half an hour, the time is a little rushed, and the road is a little blocked.
Not long after entering the Rose Community, I saw a white flag hanging downstairs in Unit 4, and I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the dead man's thing is a common thing. Carrying the box, I went upstairs, came to the door of No. 104, knocked on the door, imitated the tone of those couriers, and said lamely: "There is a courier, please come out and sign for it!" ”
But after a long time, no one came out to sign for it.
Mr. Zhuang said that the express mail that could not be sent out could not be brought back, and now there is no one to sign for it, which makes me a little distressed all of a sudden. Moreover, the courier order needs to be handed in, and I can't take it back.
I knocked on the door again, but no one opened it.
And next door to No. 104, someone came out. It was an old man, this old man had a gloomy face, peeked out of the door, looked at me twice, looked at the box next to him, coughed, and said gloomily: "Don't knock!" This family doesn't live here for a long time. ”
I was stunned, took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man, and asked with a smile: "Old man, do you know where this family went, I am a courier, the company stipulates that it must be delivered to the recipient within a limited time, I ...... it"
The old man turned pale in an instant, looked left and right, and asked me to come over.
Although I was puzzled, I still listened to it.
"Young man, are you from the All People Express Company?"
I was stunned, but I nodded, and asked the old man how you know. The old man's complexion changed even more, pointed to the box, and then pointed to 104, and said cautiously: "I advise you, it's better to quit this job, this bowl of rice is not delicious!" ”
After the old man said this, he slowly pushed open the door, walked out on crutches, looked around the box twice, pointed to the box, and said, "Isn't there a signature on this express bill." Old man, I will be a good person, I will help you sign this express, and you must quit this job when you go back, otherwise...... Miserable! ”
Miserable? I didn't understand a little, so I asked the old man, but the old man didn't say. However, as long as someone signs this courier, my task is also completed, and looking at the time, there are still two or three minutes to go and half an hour.
The old man signed the courier, and I helped him move the box in, and then went downstairs and rode an electric tricycle back to the courier company.
Mr. Zhuang has not fallen asleep yet, he is waiting for me in the store, and when he sees me coming back, let me go in and wash my hands, and go back to rest.
I answered, handed the courier order to Mr. Zhuang, and was about to go back to the dormitory, suddenly, Mr. Zhuang's exclamation frightened me, I quickly turned back, only to see Mr. Zhuang standing in place sluggishly, staring at the electric tricycle with dead eyes. Puzzled, I looked at the tricycle as well.
On the tricycle, there is a box about two meters long, about 60 centimeters high, and about 45 centimeters wide, with a white delivery slip still attached to the front of the box.
I chuckled in my heart and looked at Mr. Zhuang's hand, which was still holding the courier bill in his hand.
"Are you sure the courier was delivered?" Mr. Zhuang's face was gloomy, and he turned to look at me.
I nodded stunned and said, "Yes, it was indeed delivered, and the courier bill is also in your hands." ”
Mr. Zhuang hesitantly glanced at the courier order, handed it to me again, and said, "Then tell me, what is this!" ”
I squinted at the thing in Mr. Zhuang's hand, and it turned out to be a blank piece of paper!
