Chapter 7 All Things
The next day, according to the address on my business card, I came to the eighteenth floor of a business building next to the Workers' Stadium.
Looking at the introduction on the business card, I felt the corners of my eyes twitch.
Everything can be entrusted to Co., Ltd.: catch thieves, catch ghosts, catch juniors, drink on behalf of drivers, and engrave seals on behalf of others. Free shipping, fast package, package you cool, treat people, treat pets, treat Li Gang.
What a mess of company introductions, it's definitely my second uncle's style.
Unexpectedly, I was a returnee and the first company I entered after graduation...... It turned out to be ...... No main business, no work plan, not even a business license...... As long as you give money, you can do anything...... Leather bag company.
1808…… I found the door of my second uncle's company.
The place is not bad, the door looks very elegant, different from those business companies, the second uncle's office is decorated antiquely, but it looks like a tea house.
The place inside is not big, only about sixty square meters, but the furnishings and patterns seem to hide mysteries, and there is actually the charm of three steps and one scene, which is thought to be from the hands of famous artists.
Also, my second uncle knows how to cloth feng shui, and the company he opened naturally has to put a little effort into it.
There are three people in the company, there is a bald little fat man, the name is very interesting, called quitting meat, I heard that he was entrusted by his second uncle's friend to take care of him, about fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, a little dull, mainly in charge of some excessive work.
I couldn't help but sweat in my heart, didn't my second uncle know that it was illegal to hire child labor? also cultivated a minor into a little god stick, which is simply too nonsense.
The other girl doesn't look very big, I estimate that she is about twenty years old, with long hair, a good figure, wearing a cheongsam, but she is wearing a nondescript sunglasses, her name is Gu Wei...... Mainly responsible for docking with customers, but also responsible for logistics and intelligence collection, it is said that some idle work on weekdays is also arranged by her.
There is also a middle-aged man about thirty or forty years old, dressed very smartly, is a retired soldier, and is also the assistant of the second uncle, called King Kong, I can't help but look at him twice, his skin is dark, and he is also very big, it seems to be stronger than the second uncle, I can't help but maliciously guess, the second uncle will not really be black before, right......
Now this company has another "general manager", and that is naturally me.
The title of "general manager", although it sounds like a cow, is actually bitter in my heart, because there is no salary!
I also admire my second uncle, I just returned to China for a day, and even the business card has been printed for me.
I asked him what he wanted me to do before, and the second uncle said that he would write it on the business card, and if he didn't understand, he would ask the three old employees, and he also threw me a book, saying that it was specially selected for me, so that I had time to learn more and work hard...... In the end, I was told that the money for the book was deducted from my salary...... After saying that, he patted me on the shoulder and hit me staggeringly.
Looking at the unsightly and colorful business cards in my hand, I feel that as long as I add a few sexy and thinly dressed beauties as background pictures, it is simply like those small pieces of paper of the XX Club in the hotel......
So, the first thing I decided to do when I started my job was to redesign the company's VI......
It only took less than an hour for me to be basically familiar with the situation in the company, thanks to Gu Wei, from the moment I stepped into the door, her mouth basically never stopped, from the company's business to customer gossip, and jumped to current political news and all kinds of gossip......
But after listening to it, it still sums up the same thing, that is, you can accept any commission.
Qu Meat stuttered a little, and always wanted to insert a few words, but the fat little face was flushed and didn't insert a few words.
Gu Wei said, don't look at the abstinence from meat, I don't stutter at all when I recite the scriptures, and I secretly admire this.
King Kong doesn't like to talk, but I noticed that he seems to like to listen to others, which shows that he is not the kind of person who likes to be quiet, but is not good at expressing himself.
On the first day of work, I felt pretty good, except for the business card that made me crispy and tender, I was basically very satisfied with this company, when Gu Wei was making tea, the mink also came out of the bag I was carrying, and the three of them took a look.
Mink is not as grinning as he is when he sees his second uncle, and he is quite close to quitting meat.
And the three of them didn't seem to be very surprised by the mink, I don't know if they didn't notice the difference between them and ordinary pets, or if they thought it was just a special pet.
I was idle, I drew a few business card samples to show them, and I also thought that the new design was better, but the original version was designed by my second uncle, and Gu Wei was a little hesitant.
I reassured Gu Wei, I will redo it according to my design, I will carry it on my second uncle's side, if he has an opinion, Lao Tzu will pat his ass and leave!
Just as we were discussing business cards, a customer came to the door.
I didn't expect such a company to really have customers.
It was an old lady with silver hair and a very well-dressed person.
Listening to her accent, she looks like a Shanghainese.
The old lady's surname was Qi, seventy-two years old, Gu Wei saw her hesitant appearance, and invited her in very skillfully.
A few of us sat down around the coffee table, Gu Wei handed her a cup of hot tea, and then asked her what had happened, King Kong and Jierou both sat aside and listened carefully.
I didn't know what to do, so I just flipped through the pages of my notebook, picked up my pen, and prepared to make some notes.
Mrs. Qi took a sip of tea and slowly told about what happened to her, her wife is also surnamed Qi, is a soldier, the two met in Shanghai, when her husband was serving in the Shanghai Armed Police Force, this was fifty years ago, the two fell in love, and soon got married, and later Qi Lao was transferred to Beijing, and the old lady followed.
Forty years have passed in Beijing, and the two have two sons before and after, and now the two sons have families, and they each have jobs in Beijing, and the eldest son has a daughter.
But just two years ago, Qi Lao first died of illness, before Mrs. Qi came out of the pain, last year, the eldest son and his family of three on the way to Dubai, the plane had an accident, the eldest son and daughter-in-law and the eight-year-old granddaughter were all killed.
I sighed in my heart, this old lady Qi is also a hard-working person, when people reach their old age, they just start to enjoy Qingfu, and they encounter this kind of thing one after another.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" precept suddenly announced a Buddha name, the pronunciation of the words is round, the voice is loud, and he can't see the usual stuttering at all, it seems that Gu Wei is right.
Mrs. Qi's eyes were a little moist, she took the tissue handed by Gu Wei and wiped her tears, and began to talk about the things she wanted to entrust us.
It turned out that Mrs. Qi's second son was also in Beijing, and later because she was worried that Mrs. Qi was depressed and had no one to take care of her, she was taken home at the beginning of this year, and the second son's home was in the suburbs of Beijing, and it took 90 minutes to take the subway and bus from the old house.
And the original old house was also vacant, and at the beginning, Mrs. Qi went back every other day to feed the fish, water the flowers or something......
And just last month, the second son's daughter-in-law was also pregnant, and Mrs. Qi couldn't take care of it, and the flowers and goldfish at home were moved over, and everything that could be sold was sold, and some flowers and plants that couldn't be sold were also given away.
Having a child, this is a good thing, Mrs. Qi, who was originally depressed, has the motivation to live again, but unexpectedly, a week ago, the two daughters-in-law were found to have a strange disease in the hospital, although this disease is not a terminal disease, but with the current domestic medical conditions, it is not easy to keep the daughter-in-law and the child in the belly at the same time.
This kid is the only incense in the old Qi family......
Because of this, some of the black hair that Mrs. Qi originally had in a hurry turned white overnight.
The second son was also worried about Mrs. Qi's physical condition, and was busy comforting her, it is said that foreign experts still have successful cases in treating this disease.
Mrs. Qi has hope again, but if she wants to go abroad for surgery, it will cost a lot of money, and unlike in China, there is still medical insurance that can reimburse a large part of it.
Although the second child is not poor, he is by no means too rich, so he is worried about the medical expenses.
Mrs. Qi was also decisive, took out the real estate certificate, and asked the second child to sell the old house directly.
The second child still hesitated and didn't dare to decide, after all, this is the ancestral home of the old Qi family, but the house he lives in is on the outskirts of the city, and he can't sell it for a few dollars, so he still can't solve the problem.
In the end, Mrs. Qi made the decision, the house is gone, you can buy it again, this person is gone, but there is really nothing!
It can be seen that Mrs. Qi, who has lost her loved ones, values life more than anything else.
So the second child moved almost all the furniture in the old house back, which was regarded as a thought for the old man, and then sold the ancestral house.
The house was sold, and the second child took the money and took his daughter-in-law abroad for medical treatment.
But these days, the old lady is alone at home, but somehow, she always dreams that her wife and eldest son's family of three come to her, saying that someone wants to harm their family, rob their land, and cut off their family's incense.
Mrs. Qi woke up several times in the middle of the night, and she couldn't rest assured that she finally told the news to her second son who went to the United States for medical treatment yesterday, and the second son was still comforting her on the other end of the phone, but today, the second son's phone couldn't get through.
The second daughter-in-law's phone was also turned off, which made Mrs. Qi anxious.
Mrs. Qi found this place in the hope that we could contact the second son and his wife, and find out whether this series of tragedies is really someone behind the ghost.
Listening to Mrs. Qi's description, although I sympathized with her plight and wanted to help, I didn't have much experience after all, so I didn't dare to speak rashly, so I could only look at Gu Wei for help.
Gu Wei was still wearing sunglasses, and when she saw me looking at her, she pondered for a moment and said, "Have you offended anyone before the Qi family?" Are there any enemies, or have had a holiday? ”
Mrs. Qi thought for a while and replied: "Our old Qi family has not offended anyone, and the relationship between the neighbors is very good, but my wife is not only upright, but also a little tough-tempered, even if there is something, she doesn't tell her family, and she solves it by herself, so I don't know if he offended anyone......
"The eldest and second eldest of our family also have a good temper, and the daughter-in-law is also of good character, not a person who will cause trouble, so it seems that there is really no enemy." Mrs. Qi added.
"What kind of unit was your lover in?" King Kong, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.
"In the Haidian District Armed Police Force, it's on the side of the North West Third Ring Road......"
I asked King Kong curiously if he knew any clues, and I knew that King Kong was also a veteran.
King Kong shook his head and said that he was just asking, because the army has a number of deaths every year, maybe investigating the person who had happened recently may be an entry point for this case.
When Mrs. Qi heard King Kong's words, her face changed greatly, and she asked nervously, "Young man...... Oh no! Master, what do you mean by the death quota? Do you mean ...... It is not man who will harm us...... Is it a ghost? ”
When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I wondered if the culprit was not human.
"Grandma Qi," Gu Wei smiled strangely, and suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated to this matter, "How did you find us here?" ”
Mrs. Qi was stunned when she heard this, she looked at a few of us, looked around again, and said in a nervous tone: "I ......"
"Don't worry, if my guess is correct, it should be your deceased relatives who asked you to come, right?"
Hearing Gu Wei's words, not only Mrs. Qi, but also I was startled.
I couldn't help but repeat the name of this company in my head, everything can be trusted...... Everything if understood as the things of the yang world...... Isn't this a company that specializes in helping the dead!?
Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat on my back.
