No. 249 Minsheng Road is the address of the other company we are looking for on this trip.

We searched all the way through the house number and finally found it in a dilapidated compound.

I was taken aback: it was such a small yard, and it would actually be "Yuanchang County Global Trading Company"!

I asked them to wait, and I went in first to find out what was real.

The iron fence gate was ajar, and there was no one to be seen coming and going, quietly, almost without any sound.

I walked in slowly, startled by a voice.

"Who are you looking for?"

As soon as I turned around, I saw an old man coming out of the duty room next to me.

The old man was about sixty years old, with gray temples and a wrinkled face, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

I said, "Uncle, is this No. 249 Minsheng Road, Yuanchang County?" ”

The old man said, "No, one number is two hundred and five." ”

I said, "One number short is two hundred and five?" That's still number 249. ”

The old man said, "Do you need to ask?" Is it clearly written at the door, is it wrong? In this county, there is only one Minsheng Road, just No. 249, which is here, and it can't be wrong. ”

I said, "Are you ......?" ”

"I'm on duty here, just to watch the gate." The old man was a little old, but he still spoke very neatly.

I said, "Excuse me, is this the address of Yuanchang County Global Trading Company?" ”

The old man said, "You're here to ask for an account, aren't you?" Then let me tell you, a lot of people have come in the past few days, all of them are asking for accounts, and they can't find anyone! ”

I said, "What I'm looking for is Yuanchang County Universal ......."

The old man interrupted me and said, "Global Trading Company, right? ”

I said, "Yes, I'm looking for a global trade ......."

The old man interrupted me again and said, "Don't look at this courtyard, it's not big, but there are several trading companies, all of which are global, and I can't tell which one is which." But now you can't find it, so you'd better look for something that isn't global. ”

I said, "Old man, may I ask, are these trading companies still there?" ”

The old man said, "In?" What a fart! I was there before, and from time to time someone came to say hello. In the past few days, I can't see a single figure, and I am the only one who guards the whole big courtyard. ”

I asked, "Old man, do you know where they've gone?" ”

The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "Recently, a lot of outsiders have come to look for them, all of them are looking for the world. If I knew where they went, I wouldn't have to sit at the door. I'm going to the world! ”

From the old man at the gate, I judged that the address didn't make much sense anymore.

Coming out of the courtyard, I explained what I had learned.

Section Chief Yu said: "You have analyzed correctly, probably the situation may be like this, so what should we do next?" ”

What to do? I don't know.

Looking at Ouyang Neon and Miss Tian, they also shook their heads, all of them looked like they didn't know what to do.

I said, "Well, we'd better split up." The hotel we live in now is too far away from the county seat, and it is very inconvenient to come and go, and it is too much time waste. So, we had to solve this problem and find a way to live in the city. We divided into two routes, one way to find a hotel, to see if we could find a hotel in the city, and first put a place to stay. Another passer-by went to the freight room of the train station to check the freight situation and then think about what to do. ”

Section Chief said, "Okay, that's a good suggestion. So how to divide it? ”

I said, "I have to go to the train station, and I can't figure out what to do next without checking the shipment." ”

Ouyang Nihong said: "Then you should go back and check out, no matter how you say it, you have to say goodbye to the little proprietress of others." ”

Miss Tian followed and said: "Yes, when you go out in the morning, people talk to you so hotly, maybe you will wait to go back and talk for a while, if you don't go, the people will be so sad." ”

I said, "You're kidding again, aren't you?" Let's get down to business. I have to check the shipment! ”

Ouyang Ni Neon said: "Then I'll go with you." ”

I said, "No, after all, we are two people, and we have to be separated." In this way, Miss Tian and I went to the train station, and Section Chief and Ouyang Ni Neon went to solve the hotel problem. I know that finding a hotel is difficult, but it has to be solved. Section Chief, you don't need to discuss with us after you find the hotel, just go to the hotel in the suburbs to check out, move your luggage over, and tell us after you settle down. Try to finish it before 12 o'clock at noon, otherwise, we will lose a day's rent. ”

Section Chief said: "I know this, then you will work hard." ”

I said, "You're welcome, it's going to be hard." ”

After Section Chief and Ouyang Neon left, Miss Tian and I went to the street to inquire about the location of the train station.

Before we could inquire, the tricycle driver stopped in front of us.

"You're going to the cargo terminal, aren't you?" Said the coachman.

I thought this coachman was very familiar, and I immediately remembered the way I used to pull a foreign cart. Could it be that this is what the master Li Bai said, "In the future, someone else will pull a foreign car for you"?

I asked the driver, "How do you know we're going to the freight station?" ”

The driver said: "The outsiders I have pulled these days are either going to the freight station or to the hotel, and there is nowhere else." ”

Miss Tian said: "We are going to the railway station in Xinxiang to check the freight records, far away, do you have a tricycle?" ”

The driver said: "The guests I have pulled in the past few days are all going to check the freight records, where do I need to go to Xinxiang?" There is a freight station in our county, which is on the edge of the west end of the city, and it takes more than ten minutes to arrive. ”

I asked, "You have a train here?" ”

The driver said, "Definitely, it's just a freight station, and the buses haven't been opened yet." To go or not? Fifteen dollars for two. ”

I thought it would take me a few hours to get to the train station in Xinxiang City, but when the driver said this, I felt relieved and said, "Okay, pull us there." ”

Miss Tian said: "Fifteen yuan in ten minutes? Too expensive, right? ”

The driver said, "It's been the same price lately. ”

I was reminded of the scene when I used to pull a foreign cart, and there were many times when some rich people were just stingy and liked to bargain for us. It tastes bad!

I said, "It's not expensive, pull us along." ”

When I got to the cargo room, I realized that things were not complicated. We took out the invoice, and the staff on duty quickly gave the result: the goods were picked up on January 23, the delivery unit was Yuanchang County Global Trading Company, and the signature of the person who picked up the goods was Jiang Likun.

I calculated the time, and there is no difference between the railway arrival time and the contract, that is to say, there is no problem with railway transportation, the other party has already picked up the goods on time, and the so-called non-arrival is completely a reluctance to pay the bill.

But in any case, we at least confirmed that the other party has picked up the goods, and that's an important piece of information!

There is also good news on the section chief's side: the hotel has been found, and it is in the center of the county seat, only a few hundred meters away from the county party committee and the county government.

When we converged, the section chief said: "It's really lucky, there is a hotel named Yu Dubin just two rooms of travelers check out, one hundred and eighty-eight, expensive is a little more expensive, but the conditions are good, TV, shower, and it is the center, it is convenient to come and go." ”

Ouyang Nihong said: "That's really good, I finally found a place to live!" ”

Immediately, the section chief arranged for Ouyang Nihong and Miss Tian to go to the suburbs to check out and get their luggage.

Section Chief said, "The two of us stayed to discuss the next step. You two take a taxi and let the taxi pull you back with your luggage directly, don't be afraid to spend money. Also, the time must be exceeded, don't be serious with others, try to discuss and see if it's okay to give half a day's rent? If you really can't do it, then give what should be given. Wait until you come back and have dinner together. ”

After they left, I gave a brief account of what I had found at the terminal.

Section Chief said: "Since there is no problem with railway transportation, then they must be doing their own tricks, and we can't find their people, what should we do?" ”

I said, "Looks like we're going to have to work hard, so let's find a way to find it slowly." ”

The section chief said: "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, where can I find them?" ”

I didn't know where to look for it, so I comforted him and said, "Take your time, I'm sure they'll leave a trail." ”

When Ouyang Neon and Miss Tian came back from the suburbs, it was already half past four in the afternoon, and everyone remembered that they didn't bother to eat at noon. After putting away our luggage and resting for a while, we left the hotel to find a place to eat.

Section Chief said: "Ouyang and Xiao Tian did a good job, the problem was solved by paying the rent for half a day to the proprietress, saving a hundred yuan, we will have a little chic for dinner, eat this hundred yuan, I will make up for it, everyone is too hard, drink some wine to comfort yourself." ”

Miss Tian said: "The 100 yuan saved, of course, has the credit of me and Ouyang Neon, but there is also half of the credit of our deputy section chief." ”

I asked inexplicably, "You two ladies did it, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Miss Tian said: "The little proprietress said that according to the regulations, the all-day fee should be deducted, and she thought that Mr. Da was a good person, so she opened the back door and deducted the half-day fee." People also asked me to reach the BB number of the deputy section chief, but I didn't dare to give it, and lied that I didn't. ”

Ouyang Neon also proved that there was something to be done.

I said, "Don't talk about it, no matter whose credit it is, anyway, we saved a hundred yuan, and according to the arrangement of the section chief, let's go and have a dashing time." ”

We found a small restaurant not far from the hotel, ordered the food and drinks, and began to discuss tomorrow's plans while eating.
