The result of the discussion is that since we have confirmed that the other party is picking up the goods, we will start tomorrow from the 249th where this company is located. According to the old janitor, they are hiding, but the company has not moved away after all, and this is the only place we can grasp at the moment, and from here, there may be hope to find the person concerned.

At nine o'clock the next day, we went directly to the compound at No. 249 Minsheng Road after breakfast.

The old janitor was poking a honeycomb coal stove under the window of the gatehouse, and the water was boiling on the stove, sizzling, indicating that the water had not yet boiled.

I stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I know your water is boiling to the point where it can't be boiled, why don't you wait until the water is boiling before turning the stove?" ”

The old man didn't reply and said: "Nonsense, the boiling water doesn't make a sound, the water doesn't boil, the ghosts know it!" ”

I said, "Then do you see if I'm a human or a ghost?" ”

The old man glanced back at me and recognized me at once.

The old man said, "Didn't you come yesterday morning?" What's wrong with it again? ”

I said, "Uncle, I'm here to disturb you again." ”

The old man said, "So many more people than yesterday?" It's not a fight, what's the use of having a lot of people? It's useless! ”

The section chief hurriedly stepped forward, handed the old man a cigarette and lit it.

I said, "We went to the freight room of the train station to check, and it was indeed the person at this address who picked up the goods, and we wanted to come and see the office of this company." ”

"It's useless to see it, the rest are tables and chairs, all dead, can't speak." The old man said.

I said, "But we still want to go in and have a look." ”

The old man took a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and said: "Several companies have global brands, some make clothing, some make shoes and hats, some make department stores, some make food, and some make hardware and electrical appliances, I don't know which one you are looking for?" ”

"Costume makers." Ouyang Ni Neon said.

The old man raised his finger and said, "The one in the middle is the world that makes clothes, you go and see it, there is nothing anyway." ”

We thanked the old man and walked straight inside.

We walked in, and sure enough, we saw several signs with the words "Yuanchang County Global Trade" hanging at the door. The company we were looking for was right in the middle, the door was locked, and looking through the glass window, the room was small, about a dozen square meters, and there was nothing in it except a few empty tables and empty chairs. The table top is covered with dust, indicating that no one has used it in a long time. We wanted to go in and find something, but the old man said we couldn't get in without a key.

Section Chief said, "Is it okay to smash the door lock in?" ”

The old man said, "That's not going to work! I'm in charge of guarding the door, and I'm responsible for smashing the lock. ”

I said, "Don't embarrass you, let's think of another way." ”

The old man said, "I'm not doing any evil, I'm just a janitor." ”

When I walked to the gate, I suddenly felt that this old janitor was a kind-hearted man, and that I should have a good chat with him, and maybe I could find the slightest clue.

I asked, "Uncle, do you know where the owner of this company lives?" ”

The old man said, "I don't know, I just look at this gate, and I don't know anything else." ”

The section chief had work in his eyes, and hurriedly handed over another cigarette.

Ouyang Neon also had work in his eyes, walked over to look at the honeycomb coal stove, and said: "Uncle, the briquettes in your furnace are about to burn out, and the fire is about to go out, I'll help you change it, hurry up, otherwise, it will be very difficult to come back again when the fire is all gone." With that, he began to make the stove.

I continued to be in charge of chatting with the old man.

I said, "Uncle, are you going to be old this year?" You look pretty young. ”

"Young? That was twenty or thirty years ago. I've lived in vain for sixty years. ”

"But I think you're still very young." I say.

"Most of my body is in the ground, where can I talk about being young? Young, this is a matter of your age, I don't have this dream anymore. ”

The section chief said: "I see you, you must be a person who accumulates virtue and does good deeds, and you must live a long life, and sixty years old is at most half." You will live to be at least 100 years old. ”

"A hundred years old? That's going to be a turtle, I don't want to. Besides, although I haven't done anything that lacks virtue, I haven't done anything to accumulate virtue and do good. You say, these companies are all cheated and deceived, but I am here to show them the door for a few wages, where can I be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good? ”

I said, "I can't blame you, maybe you didn't know the situation when you came to show them the door." ”

The old man said: "This is to the point, when I first came, I really didn't know the situation, I just said that I came to guard the company, and I was paid 600 yuan a month, and I came." But now, I come to collect debts every day, I know, but I can't go, I haven't been paid, and I have to continue to be responsible for watching the door, alas, who knows when this day will be! And you, coming from all over the country to collect debts, far away, are not easy! ”

I asked, "You are so kind, maybe you can help us a little." Do you know what the last name of the boss we're looking for? ”

"The boss's surname is ......," he suddenly stopped and changed his words, "I don't know." You'd better look for it yourself, I'll just watch the gate. ”

Miss Tian stepped forward and pulled up the sleeves of the old man's clothes and said, "Uncle, we are from other places with black eyes, and there are no clues at all, where can we find them?" You can do it, okay, just tell us what his last name is. ”

The section chief immediately took out the half pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it to the old man.

The section chief said, "Uncle, this pack of cigarettes has been delivered to you." You see, it's not easy for us to come all the way, we can't find anyone, and it's not easy to go back to the factory, so you can help. ”

The old man took the cigarette and said, "Golden leaf, good smoke." Normally, I can't afford such expensive cigarettes! ”

Section Chief Yu said, "Good cigarettes are also given to you." ”

Miss Tian said, "Uncle, just help us, what's the boss's surname?" Where to stay? ”

The old man's hand holding the cigarette was trembling, and he said, "That boss's surname is Jiang, and he is a farmer in Jiang Village. That's all I know, but don't say it's me. ”

Ouyang Ni Neon asked, "Uncle, where is Jiang Village?" Far from here? ”

The old man said, "It's not far away, I can't say the specifics, you can inquire for yourself." ”

I motioned to Ouyang Ni to stop asking.

Before leaving, the old man trembled and said, "But don't say that I said it!" ”

We thanked the old man and gave him assurances, and walked out of the big courtyard.

I said, "Uncle has already said everything that shouldn't be said, which means that he has told us everything, and it will be difficult for a strong man to ask any more." ”

Section Chief said: "Yes, with the uncle's reminder, it should be easy for us to find out where it is." ”

Then, everyone praised the section chief for coming to work, and a pack of cigarettes got an important message.

Section Chief said: "This is the habitual action of business personnel, if you want things to go smoothly, you must first open the way with tobacco and alcohol." Besides, this cigarette is only ten yuan a pack, and it's worth it! ”

Ouyang Nihong said: "It seems that I will have to learn from the section chief in the future, and I will have to buy a pack of cigarettes in my pocket at any time, which will come in handy at a critical time." ”

Section Chief said: "Women don't need it, a sweet mouth is a good weapon." ”

With this address, we saw a little hope and immediately decided to go to Jiang Village.
