Chapter 412: The Company That Can't Be Found
On top of the small four-story building, it seems to carry countless companies, and almost every window has a variety of company names pasted on it.
The air-conditioning units between the floors are also plastered with all kinds of advertisements like urban psoriasis, and even on the shelves of many air-conditioners, there are all kinds of company signboards that sway in the wind.
Standing downstairs, Cheng Yu looked up, glanced at it a few times, and determined that there were at least seventy or eighty companies on this small four-story building.
Judging by the number of windows, there are not even seventy or eighty rooms in this small building, and there is no doubt that many companies are simply several companies crammed into one office, and one desk is considered a company.
Cheng Yu frowned.
It's hard to find this ghost place, and now, it's not so easy to find out the labor company from among the seventy or eighty companies in this building.
It is almost impossible to expect this kind of company, in this kind of office building, to confirm the room number of its office floor and office according to the map at the front desk on the first floor, as is the case in a normal office building.
There should be a parking lot in this building, but Cheng Yu didn't bother to find the entrance to the parking lot, so many companies, I don't know how many people are crowded in this building, and it would be strange if there were empty parking spaces in the parking lot.
Fortunately, in this kind of ghost place, it is normal to park indiscriminately, Cheng Yu directly leaned the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, and walked towards the gate of the four-story building.
Pushing the door in, a more humid and stuffy smell came to my face.
In this kind of small building, the office is equipped with split air conditioning, and in the lobby on the first floor, there is obviously no air conditioning or other equipment.
Not only is there no air conditioning, but after Cheng Yu pushed the door open, he was even in a trance.
This so-called first-floor lobby is almost noisier than the street, but in the lobby of seventy or eighty square meters, except for a road leading to the elevator room in the middle, the rest of the place is filled with desks of various sizes.
The ground is also full of wires dragged out of various power strips, and several dilapidated fans are making strong noise, and the wind blowing out falls on people, not only does not have the slightest cool feeling, but on the contrary, it will make people feel more stuffy and breathless.
Those people didn't react at all to Cheng Yu's arrival, everyone was speaking in various strange accents, even different languages, shouting something.
The only thing that is the same is that these people are either shouting into a microphone in front of a computer or into an old phone in their hands, as if they are not talking about business at all, but into a fight.
As for the sitting position, it is non-existent, everyone has an extremely cramped space, and some even simply sit at their desks, take off their shoes, and put their feet on the desk opposite.
Others, sitting on their computer case, smash their worn-out keyboards as if they were a weapon.
In addition to the stuffiness caused by the lack of air conditioning, the lobby is also mixed with the smell of sweat and feet, the smell of unknown small animals rotting after death, and the smell of swill caused by leftovers, which is probably the most unpleasant smell here.
Rao is Cheng Yu didn't have too many habits of a noble son, and he suddenly stayed on such an occasion, which was even more unbearable than the domestic vegetable market, and he still frowned.
After touching his body for a while, Cheng Yu took out a pack of napkins, took out one, and unfolded it to cover his mouth and nose.
The scent of napkins finally made Cheng Yu feel that his breathing was a little more normal.
I didn't dare to have any further delays, and the only fantasy before entering the door, hoping that there would still be a front desk in this building, at least the idea of confirming what floor that damn company was on was completely gone. Cheng Yu hurriedly crossed the road in the middle that could kick a person's leg at any time, and rushed to the elevator room.
The elevator is still very old-fashioned, and there is an iron fence door outside the door, Cheng Yu pressed the button of the elevator, the light turned on, and in a creaking sound, it was soon there.
Someone inside opened the elevator door, then glanced at Cheng Yu expressionlessly through the fence, and then said, "Where?" in Spanish.
When Cheng Yu was studying in the United States, he also had some contact with Spanish, and the conversation and communication may not be enough, but he can still understand some simple words.
He first asked if he could communicate in English, and although the official language of Chile is Spanish, English is still a language that educated people can barely communicate.
The other party changed to English with a strong accent and asked, "Where are you?"
Cheng Yu then said: "I want to find a company ......"
He reported the name of the company to the other party, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by the other party.
"I don't know the company you're talking about, there are hundreds of companies in this building, who knows what company you're talking about. What floor are you going to?"
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll go to the second floor to look for it first." ”
The man held out three fingers with a blank face and said, "Three hundred pesos." ”
Cheng Yu was stunned, he never thought that in this kind of ghost place, he would have to pay for even an elevator, and it seemed that if he couldn't pay for it, the other party wouldn't even let him in the elevator door.
The peso is the local currency unit, and three hundred pesos is about three soft coins, which is not expensive, but the problem is that Cheng Yu does not have a local currency at all.
The dollar should also be common here, at least these people will not be reluctant to accept the dollar, but Cheng Yu does not have a dollar below a single dollar.
There is no need to worry about waste, Cheng Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and said directly: "Is it okay to use dollars?"
The other party looked at him again and nodded, "Yes." One dollar. ”
One dollar is almost close to seven hundred pesos, and the other party is definitely blackmailing, but Cheng Yu has no other way.
I took out my wallet, and the smallest denomination in it was only a ten-dollar bill.
took it out and handed it over, the other party accepted it directly, got up and opened the fence gate for Cheng Yu, and then pressed the button on the second floor, without the slightest intention of looking for money.
Although Cheng Yu didn't care about a trivial matter like ten dollars, how could he, who was used to picking at it, watch his money being directly taken by the other party?
When the elevator reached the second floor, Cheng Yu said: "Looking for money." ”
The man rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you looking for someone, in case the second floor is not there, you have to continue going upstairs." I'll find you later. ”
Cheng Yu looked at the other party's eyes flashing with cunning brilliance, knowing that the other party actually didn't plan to give him the money, after a little hesitation, Cheng Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and stuck the other party's neck.
Putting the other party's head against the wall of the elevator, Cheng Yu lowered his voice and said viciously: "You especially find money for Lao Tzu, one less peso Lao Tzu will kill you!"
The other party was frightened by Cheng Yu's sudden ferocity, his neck was also pinched uncomfortably, and a slurred sound came out of his mouth, which meant that Cheng Yu let go of his hand, and he would look for money again.
Cheng Yu glared at the other party, slowly let go of his hand, and at the moment when the other party was about to rise up, Cheng Yu punched the other party in the face, and then stuck the opponent's neck again.
"Don't play tricks with Lao Tzu, be honest, or I wouldn't mind letting you lie here. ”
This time, the other party was completely honest.
Looking at Cheng Yu's pampered face and fair skin before, this person felt that Cheng Yu must be the kind of person who was very good to bully. didn't expect Cheng Yu to use such violent means to let him see the viciousness under the white face.
The man looked at Cheng Yu timidly, and handed back the ten dollars in his hand, meaning that he would not accept Cheng Yu's money.
Cheng Yu continued to stare at him and said, "Lao Tzu is the one who doesn't give money?
Only then did the other party open the small bag he was carrying, grabbed a handful of pesos from it, was choked by Cheng Yu's neck, counted out six thousand five hundred pesos tremblingly, and handed it to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu collected the money, opened the elevator door, and walked out.
When he walked out of the elevator door, Cheng Yu turned his head and glared at the man viciously.
The person who drove the elevator must be one of the lowest people in the staff here, and that person just thought that Cheng Yu should be a good bully, or saw that Cheng Yu had a lot of dollars in his wallet, so he had a crooked thought.
But after all, he is a staff member here, but Cheng Yu is only one person, and Cheng Yu has to prevent the other party from finding someone to retaliate against him.
To glare at him is to give him a warning, hoping that this matter can end here.
However, Cheng Yu immediately clicked on the mall in the upper right corner on the light screen in his mind, and then exchanged for a martial art in the mall.
After the five points were spent, Cheng Yu's storage compartment had an additional martial arts option.
As long as the people in the elevator dare to make any moves, Cheng Yu doesn't mind wasting these five points and using the highest value of personal force within the earth to teach the other party a lesson.
The entire second floor is far more than what Cheng Yu saw when he was downstairs, and when he walked to the end of the corridor, Cheng Yu found that after the corridor turned around, there were two identical corridors behind him, and above each corridor, there were at least a dozen offices.
From the signs hanging at the door of those offices, Cheng Yu can clearly know that in these offices, there are at least two companies, and at most there are even as many as five or six companies.
However, looking from the open doors of some offices, there are only a dozen square meters of area, and it is a little difficult to put three desks, Cheng Yu has a hard time understanding how those offices crowded with five or six companies get along with each other.
But none of this had anything to do with him, he just walked along the corridor, office by office, looking at the small signboard hanging on the door, looking for the location of the company that helped Li Dali apply for the labor dispatch certificate.
A corridor came to an end, no.
After turning the corner, there were no companies in the second corridor that even had a similar name.
The entire second floor was finished, and Cheng Yu couldn't find the company he was looking for.
Turning back to the elevator room, Cheng Yu pressed the elevator, and the elevator door opened directly.
When the man saw that it was Cheng Yu, he shivered slightly, and then opened the elevator door very dogleggingly.
"Third floor. Cheng Yu didn't talk nonsense to him, as long as this person didn't dare to find someone to retaliate against him, Cheng Yu took out those pesos just now, counted three hundred, and handed them over.
The other party was a little hesitant, but seeing that Cheng Yu's eyes widened again, he honestly took it, started the elevator, and took Cheng Yu to the third floor.
I looked around on the third floor, but I still couldn't find the company.
Cheng Yu had to spend another three hundred pesos to the fourth floor.
When he reached the fourth floor, Cheng Yu felt a little strange, because he found that the length of the corridor on the fourth floor was at least one-third less than that of the two floors downstairs.
With doubts, Cheng Yu still searched room by room, but after searching the entire fourth floor, he still couldn't find the company.
This is strange, Cheng Yu confirmed again that he did not find the wrong building, and the company should be in this building, but why, I couldn't find this company after searching all over the building?
Cheng Yu suspected that there was a large company on the reduced area on the fourth floor, but he couldn't find the entrance.
So he searched carefully twice on the fourth floor, and even asked a local who worked on the fourth floor and didn't seem so busy.
The man told Cheng Yu that the small area on the fourth floor compared to the downstairs was indeed occupied by a unit, but that unit was not a company, but a non-profit organization, affiliated with the local government, and they did not enter and exit from here, but installed an elevator on the exterior wall.
Cheng Yu inquired carefully and told the person the name of the company he was looking for, and the man shook his head suspiciously, and said, "There are at least more than 200 companies in this building, and I really don't know which company you are talking about." But I can assure you that the non-profit organization on the fourth floor is by no means the company you're looking for. Listen to what you said, that company probably does labor certificates, right?"
Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this, from the name, that company definitely sounded like a normal foreign trade company, but why did this person directly understand that the company was doing these things?
It may be that Cheng Yu's expression gave the man insight into the truth, and he explained with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else." I just want to tell you that if you're just trying to find a certificate of employment that will help you extend your visa in Chile, there are 50 companies in this building that specialize in that, to say the least. You don't have to find that company. ”
Cheng Yu suddenly realized and said, "Your company is also ......?"
But the man shook his head and said, "Not really." In this case, you go directly to the first floor, stand in the hallway and shout, and say that you need a legal labor certificate. I think there will be at least ten people who will come and invite you. This kind of thing can usually be done for two or three hundred dollars. ”
Cheng Yu scratched his head, thanked him, and turned to leave.
confirmed that there would never be the company he was looking for on the fourth floor, and Cheng Yu was even more puzzled.
Could it be that the company is so embarrassed that it can't even afford to rent an office, so it has to stay in the lobby downstairs?
Cheng Yu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, the area of the upstairs was at least thousands of square meters, but the lobby downstairs was only seventy or eighty square meters. This suggests that there should be offices on the ground floor in addition to the lobby.
So he went back to the elevator room, pressed the elevator, and when the man opened the door, he asked him, "Is there an office on the first floor?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
Cheng Yu opened the fence gate, stepped in, and said, "First floor." ”
The man hesitated, stretched out his hand, and said timidly, "Five hundred pesos." ”
Cheng Yu glared and said, "Isn't it three hundred?"
The man shuddered, and then said, "Three hundred on each floor, four hundred on two floors, and five hundred on three floors." ”
Cheng Yu was really speechless, this Nima was the most expensive elevator he had ever taken in his life.
Seeing that Cheng Yu seemed to be a little dissatisfied, the man hurriedly pressed the button on the first floor, and said tremblingly: "No, no, no, I have already received nine hundred pesos from you, and this time I will give it to you." ”
The elevator was running precariously, and Cheng Yu had the intention to throw five hundred pesos, but after thinking about it carefully, why! If he had looked for it on the first floor from the beginning, he might have found that company, and he wouldn't have needed to come up at all. Even the nine hundred pesos, Cheng Yuhua's flesh hurt a little.
Moreover, it was the person himself who said that Cheng Yu was given the opportunity to take the elevator this time, and Cheng Yu naturally had no reason to give him money.
When he arrived on the first floor, Cheng Yu asked, "Where does the office on the first floor come from?"
The man stood up and rushed to the other side of the elevator, only then did Cheng Yu realize that the elevator was actually on both sides, and the office on the first floor was on the other side of the elevator.
When he stepped out of the elevator, Cheng Yu heard a soft sound in his head: "Ding!"
A golden +3 appeared in Cheng Yu's mind, Cheng Yu didn't think much about it, it was estimated that it was because he didn't spend money on the elevator this time, so the system gave a reward.
After looking for a long time on the first floor, Cheng Yu still couldn't find the company, and said that it was because it had been too long, and the company had ......
But the problem is that Cheng Yu only called them two days ago, and the other party did not mention the change of office address.
With doubts, Cheng Yu left the building and got into the car, puzzled.
In fact, there is an easier way to find that company, but Cheng Yu doesn't want to startle the snake.
I originally thought that since I had the address of this company, everything should be easy to find, and if I found this building, even if there were more companies in this building, I could always find it if I looked for it one by one.
Cheng Yu wanted to pretend to be the kind of customer who crashed into the door by himself, but didn't want the other party to have even the slightest feeling that he was specifically looking for him.
This kind of company obviously has a certain underworld background, who knows if the people in this company have any special relationship with Lawrence Beal?
But now, Cheng Yu really had to make a phone call.
Fortunately, now he is holding a local phone card in his hand, and the other party should not have such a good memory to remember Cheng Yu's voice.
Like last time, the phone rang a few times before someone answered.
