Chapter 12 Gambling Wins Millions, But Still Runs Night Bus Every Day (1)
I don't know whose phone it is, but Li Kan's voice when he answers the phone is very strange, not at all like his usual lazy and indifferent tone, but like an adolescent middle school student, a little excited, a little shy and a little nervous.
In my experience, it should be a woman on the other end of the line, and the kind he likes.
Li Kan didn't hide it from me, hung up the phone, and was embarrassed to admit that the other party was his high school classmate, and he had always had a crush on someone when he was in school, but he never dared to confess to her.
This girl is a general learner, but the family conditions are very good, and her father seems to be some kind of leader.
When she was admitted to university, she was barely admitted to a junior college in the provincial capital, and there was no good way out there after graduation, so she returned to Chengyang City, and heard that she got a job with a career establishment by relying on her father's relationship.
I haven't been in touch for so many years, but I didn't expect her to become the deputy manager of the city bus company, and sure enough, there are people in the court who are good officials.
The purpose of her call to Li Kan was to ask him to help him check the rumors about the ghost bus in the market recently.
Li Kan didn't expect that after so many years, he had been under the attention of the goddess of his crush, not only knowing what he was doing, but also being able to find him with a phone call.
As soon as he was excited, he completely left the World Cup behind, and took the order very happily, without discussing the price, and hurriedly pulled me to the bus company.
When I arrived at the assistant manager's office and saw Li Kan's dream lover, I understood why he still remembered it for so many years.
This female manager and classmate Li Kan should be thirty-five or sixteen years old, but judging from her face, she looks like a post-90s generation, not only with bright eyes and beautiful teeth, but also very young and sunny.
If she hadn't introduced herself as Li Kan's classmate Luo Xin, I would really think of her as the kind of little secretary who had just graduated from college.
I immediately understood Li Kan, such a frozen age goddess, I would also run in a panic when I put it on my body, just like Zheng Banqiao said Xu Wenchang, I am really willing to be her lackey.
I secretly glanced at Li Kan, but he didn't look like a monkey at home just now, but stood up, looking very profound, and listened to Luo Xin's introduction with an expressionless face.
Luo Xin is indeed the material of the official, he speaks clearly and thoughtfully, and we quickly understand the ins and outs of the matter.
Unlike many other cities, the buses in Chengyang City are not operated by the public in a unified manner, but are operated in the form of privately contracted vehicles or routes, which is called affiliated operation.
This mode of operation is more economical financial expenditure, the bus company does not need to purchase vehicles, only charge management fees on the line, but the disadvantage is that the privately contracted vehicles only talk about the efficiency and do not talk about the service, when the rush hour of commuting, desperately grab the site to grab the passenger flow, when the flow of people is less at night, simply close the shift in advance, resulting in some people who catch the last train waiting in vain.
This year, Chengyang City wants to create a national civilized city, and if public transportation is still like this, it will definitely be useless, so the leaders of the city will make a decision, cancel the affiliated operation, take back all bus lines to the state, and operate them in a unified manner.
Luo Xin took office in this situation, although he was the deputy manager, but the "number one" of the bus company retired in two years, and now he is sick, and he has been treated in the field for many years.
In order to facilitate the people and win a good reputation, she extended the closing time of some key routes from 9 o'clock in the evening to 12 o'clock in the evening, so that many people who got off the night shift and went out shopping had a bus to take, and it is said that the masses responded very well.
However, her decision, to a certain extent, robbed the taxi business, made many taxi drivers dissatisfied, and there was an incident in the middle of the taxi stopping the bus, and later the bus company called the police, and the relationship between the two sides was very tense.
Later, the leaders in charge of transportation and administration in the city came forward to coordinate, and the closing time of the bus was uniformly limited to 11 o'clock at night.
When the rumors of this ghost bus first came out, Luo Xin thought that it was a rumor spread by taxi drivers in order to scare those who took the bus at night.
Who knows, later the taxi company actually took the initiative to call the bus company, complaining that their bus was operating overtime, and there were buses at the station at twelve o'clock, and some taxi drivers took evidence.
Listening to the tone of the taxi company's manager, it seems that he really doesn't know.
Luo Xin called up the photos in the mobile phone to show us, the photo was taken by the mobile phone camera, the pixel quality was not good, and the light conditions at night were not good, so we could only vaguely see that it was a white and green bus.
I can't see which car it is, because all the places on the body that indicate the route number are pasted with things, Luo Xin said that the same model and painted car, the bus company has dozens of cars, and I can't see which way it is.
Li Kan looked at the photo carefully and did not say anything.
I asked Luo Xin, could it be that someone from the taxi company estimated that it was planted by him? The time is also not shown on this photo.
Luo Xin told me that they also went to the terminal parking lot to check for this purpose, because the line has just been recovered, a lot of hardware needs to be added and replaced, and the new video surveillance system in the parking lot has not been debugged.
However, judging from the manual records of the dispatch room, after twelve o'clock, there was no record of leaving the car.
They also sent people to look for it all night, and drove around several main routes, but they didn't get anything.
Luo Xin and the others originally wanted to treat this legend as a prank, thinking that as long as they ignored it, the rumors would naturally disperse.
Unexpectedly, there are more and more rumors about the ghost bus, and the more you pass through the evil, there are even legends that someone accidentally took this bus and found that the car was empty, not even the driver.
Some people also said that when they got up, they saw that the car was full of people, but later found out that it was all ghosts.
My hairs stood on end as I listened, and I turned my head to see Li Kan's reaction.
He was fiddling with Luo Xin's mobile phone casually, I caught a glimpse of him secretly using Luo Xin's WeChat account to add himself, and agreed to look at her circle of friends, and finally he used Luo Xin's number to send the photo to himself.
This series of actions is done quickly and covertly, and it can be said that it flows smoothly without a trace, which is really fucking breathtaking.
Before I could recover from my surprise, Li Kan suddenly stood up and said that we would take this matter over, but we had to go back and study it first, and give her an answer in a few days.
Luo Xin warmly invited us to stay for a meal, saying that the old classmates hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had to get together even if they didn't want to do it.
I was very happy for Li Kan in my heart, and felt that this was exactly what he wanted, but who knew that he flatly refused, saying that next time, I still have to watch football at night, and I want to sleep during the day.
On the way back, I said Li Kan, what are you pretending to be, it's not a crush, I rushed over to see her on a hot day, and now people take the initiative to invite dinner, but he still picks up his strength?
Li Kan shook his head and said seriously, I don't have time to soak mushrooms, maybe this time it's really a bit like that.
I shuddered when I heard this, and I asked him which one was that?
Li Kan was also unsure, so he asked me to go back and sleep quickly, recuperate and go to the construction site at night. I didn't ask again, but I kept muttering to myself, could it be that it was really a car full of ghosts?
We ate two plates of fried noodles on the street at noon, and when we returned to his house, we began to sleep until we were woken up by a mobile phone alarm.
I went to the living room and looked at the watch hanging on the wall, it was eleven fifty o'clock at night.
Li Kan didn't know when he got up, he was sitting on the sofa and grabbing his hair while the TV showed the goal highlights of the match between France and Uruguay.
No need to ask, just look at him like this, you know that he is betting on the wrong team again.
When Li Kan saw that I was awake, he shouted at me, fuck, the French team actually won!
I said you stupid, this French team is so awesome, Real Madrid, Barcelona is in Paris, and it's normal to win against Uruguay.
Li Kan shook his head and said that gambling on football requires betting on the underdog to make money, and Uruguay's strength is also good, but he didn't expect that there would be no upset.
I see his dejected appearance, I can't help but be a little worried, since the start of the World Cup, I often hear about bankruptcy, I don't know how many people jumped off the building in Germany vs. Mexico alone, he won't play so big, right?
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that I heard him say yesterday that Manager Luo had called 100,000 yuan as promised, and he had bet on Uruguay, and there were still 30,000 yuan for me.
So, I accompanied him carefully and asked him how much he bought, so that he would not go to the rooftop.
My words touched his sadness, and he pulled his hair vigorously and said, "One hundred, a whole loss of a hundred yuan!"
Fuck, I scolded on the spot, what the fuck is this, a virtue of dying or living, and the relationship only lost a hundred dollars.
After thinking about it, this is also in line with the character of this product, he usually can't even eat more steamed buns, and a penny can pull out the water, and losing a hundred yuan this time is a huge amount of money for him.
So he picked such a person, willing to lend me 200,000 yuan at once, I think about it, I began to thank him again.
So I hurriedly comforted him, saying forget it, make money when the money is gone, don't gamble on football in the future, football is round, nine out of ten bets are lost, and I have never seen anyone gamble to make a fortune.
He slurked his lips and said that it was not necessarily, listening to the people in the betting group say that some people have bet on the game since the start of the game, not only betting on winning or losing, but also betting on the score, which is really amazing.
I think he is really stupid, and I believe this kind of unfounded legend, which is made up by the dealer to deceive gamblers.
Li Kan said that this person is Chengyang City, there is a name and a surname, and there are people in the group who recognize him, it is said that this guy gambles quite big, and every time he bets tens of thousands of dollars, he seems to be not afraid of losing at all.
I don't bother to pay attention to him, some people are normal things to get in and out of a limousine at a time, with his pattern, where can I get through?
I put my clothes on and asked him if he could get off the construction site? The money is all lost, and if you are talking nonsense here, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind.
Li Kan picked out his pocket, took out a crumpled hundred-yuan bill from it, and said, what kind of northwest wind to drink, go, go to the ghost store for supper.
