When I arrived at the waiting room of Nanyue Railway Station, there was still an hour and five minutes before the departure time, but Section Chief Wei, his assistant Miss Tian and Ouyang Nihong were already waiting for me in the waiting room.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I say.

"No, we've just been here for a while, and it's still early." Section Chief said.

Ouyang Nihong followed and said, "I've just arrived for two minutes. If you don't be late, you don't delay things, so what's so embarrassing! ”

I think about it, too, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's still early, and I'm not late, so what's sorry. I looked at the waiting room, and it was almost full, and it was difficult to find a seat.

"Why are there so many people?" I say.

Section Chief said: "In recent years, Guangdong's reform and opening up has been getting better and better, and there are more and more people coming and going to Guangdong, and most people can't afford to take planes, so there are many people at the railway station." ”

I smiled and pretended to understand.

Actually, I don't quite understand it.

Although I have seen some materials and newspaper news in the company these days, and the word "reform and opening up" has been mentioned repeatedly, I still basically have no understanding of Guangdong's reform and opening up, and it is just a concept at best. Before being transported to the world, my master Li Bai did not mention this situation to me.

"Brother Long, this duffel bag of yours is really unique, where did you buy it? I've never seen anything like it! Ouyang Neon suddenly became interested in my duffel bag.

Ouyang Nihong's interest aroused the interest of Section Chief Lu and his assistant Miss Tian at the same time, and they both said that they had never seen such a duffel bag, and they both chased me and asked me from which advanced and developed country I bought it from.

I thought to myself, don't say you're weird, I'm weird too! Before I left, my master Li Bai gave me such a duffel bag, and nothing else was given to me. As for where this bag came from, I don't even know!

But I can't say, absolutely can't say that!

I can only tell them that it was sent by a friend, and the source is not clear.

After getting on the train, the section chief took us directly into the sleeper car.

The section chief said: "Two lower bunks, two middle bunks. I slept in the middle bunk with Da Long, and the two ladies slept in the lower bunk. ”

Miss Tian said: "Our section chief is really a gentleman, just personable. ”

Section Chief said: "Men, of course you have to be gentlemanly, and you must leave the convenience to you ladies." ”

After putting away the luggage, Miss Tian gave the printed business card and the made work card to Ouyang Nihong and me, and said: "From now on, the two of you are from our garment factory, Dalong's identity is the deputy section chief in charge of sales in our garment factory, and Ouyang Nihong's identity is the business director of our supply and marketing department. Our deputy section chief is directly the section chief of our supply and marketing department. Everyone remembers, don't call it the wrong one. ”

I said, "That's fine. I'd like to know a little bit more about who signed the contract. How is it signed? What is the payment method? How does the other party breach the contract? What is the rationale? ”

Section Chief said: "All of them have been brought, including the manuscripts of the telegrams we have sent many telegrams to collect payments. This contract was signed by me, but I agreed it with our section chief Zhang, and the responsibility is not entirely on me, after all, section chief Zhang is the decision-maker. ”

I asked, "Where was the contract signed?" ”

"The contract was signed at the National Ordering Fair in Beijing, and the total amount was 2.03 million." "At that time, it was a large-scale national order fair, and many manufacturers rented booths at the fair. We also rented a big booth. As we all know, the highest task of an order meeting is to get more orders. The order will be a total of three days, the first two days, our orders are not much, a total of only more than two million, and are small orders, there are hundreds of thousands, there are hundreds of thousands, there are hundreds of thousands, and many customers are asking our factory to bear the freight. On the afternoon of the third day, two buyers came, saying that they were the chairman of the company and the head of the procurement section, saying that they had taken a fancy to some of our clothing, and the amount of goods was also very large, and offered to bear half of the freight as long as we delivered the goods on time and with quality and quantity. Section Chief Zhang discussed with all of us and felt that this was a good thing, so he immediately asked me to sign the contract. The contract stipulates that the freight is paid on delivery, and both parties bear half of the freight. ”

"And then?" I asked.

"Half a month later, according to the time required for railway transportation, we estimated that the goods should have arrived, so we called to ask for payment, and the other party replied that the goods have not yet arrived, it may be the reason for railway transportation, let's wait."

The section chief paused for a moment, and then said: "After a few days, we called again, and the person who answered the phone on the other side said that it was not the project she was responsible for, and she did not know, and promised to help us ask." After a few days, there was no news from the other party, so we went directly to the railway transportation department to inquire and learned that the other party had received the goods. We went to telegram to collect money and got no reply. A few days later, we telegraphed again to collect the payment, but there was still no news. ”

The section chief sighed, looked at Miss Tian, and said, "We called, and the person who answered the phone claimed to be the section chief, admitted that he had received the goods, and said that the chairman had gone out to attend the order meeting, and he would sign for us to pay us immediately after he came back." In this way, it dragged on for two months. We sent another telegram to collect the payment, but it was in vain, and we called many times, but there was no answer. ”

As he spoke, he handed me a contract and a few telegram drafts, and said, "We may have been deceived. ”

I said, "It's not possible, it's that you've been deceived." ”

"Yes, that's what our section chief Zhang thinks, he has made a detailed report to the factory leaders, and he has been severely criticized."

Section Chief Xu suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Originally, the factory leaders intended to promote Section Chief Zhang to deputy factory director, and if this happens, it must be no fun." Section Chief Zhang is also mentally prepared to accept more severe punishments. It was at this time that you offered to help us collect debts, and Section Chief Zhang was naturally very happy, and the factory leaders also held the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so they agreed that I would go with you. Mr. Da, I heard that you are eloquent in the battle group, and this time it is all up to you! ”

Miss Tian reminded: "It's the deputy section chief! ”

The section chief said: "Yes, yes, look at my memory!" It should be the deputy section chief. ”

I probably looked at the contract and thought it wasn't too important. I focused on reading a few drafts of the telegrams for dunning, mainly to understand the timing and judge the possibility of recovering the debt.

I asked, "It's been a week since this last collection telegram today, and there is still no news?" ”

The section chief said, "No, nothing." ”

"Okay, let's rest, let me think about it." I say.

Lying on the bunk, I recalled the words of the section chief back and forth, and felt that the problem was serious - it seems that this department store trading company in Yuanchang County is not as simple as defaulting on the payment because of a lack of funds, they are very likely to be a leather bag company, and it is very likely that they were a fraud in the first place. If so, then it's troublesome, you can't find a company, you can't find someone, who to ask for money!

If you don't want to, you have a headache when you think about it!

Seeing that they were all resting, I got up and took out the diary that Wanting had given me from my duffel bag, trying to record some of my ideas.

Open the first page of the diary, and two lines of beautiful small characters stand out: Brother is on the bank of the Yellow River, sister is on the side of the Pearl River, I miss my brother every day, and pray for my brother's safety.

When I think of Wanting, I can't calm down.

Sister, what a good girl, Brother Long, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time......

The first time I took the train, I was very uncomfortable, except for the freshness of just getting on the train, I felt groggy all the way, and I wanted to sleep but couldn't.

Having something in my heart is a big thing about two million, and it's a big thing that I feel more and more bottomless in my heart, where can I sleep!

On the way, the section chief said that he wanted to invite everyone to the dining car to eat, but Ouyang Nihong refused.

She said: "The food truck is more expensive to eat, and the matter has not been done yet, so it is better to save a little, I have prepared instant noodles, let's make do with it." ”

I think Ouyang Neon is right, and I have a further good impression of her.

Then, the four of us made four bowls of noodles and ate a meal.
