34. Serve as a river harbor caretaker for a day

"Lord Chief, are you alright?" Just as Wang Wenyuan was marching towards the temporary headquarters, a slightly anxious voice suddenly sounded in the direction of his side.

Turning his head, he saw his colleague nervously gathered around a small cabin, his words full of doubt and a hint of joy.

"Is it okay for the principal?" He didn't have time to hesitate, and quickly came to the door of the cabin.

Sure enough, Li Boling was on crutches in one hand and a newspaper in the other, reading the newsletter carefully, and his face was not particularly good-looking, as if he was troubled by some trouble.

Seeing that their boss was silent, they didn't dare to leave without permission, so they had to stand in place, and couldn't help but speculate about the reason.

"How did you complete this mission, I don't need to say anything." After a long time, Li Boling raised his head and stared at his subordinates.

And they lowered their heads, hung their arms, silent, listless, like defeated roosters.

"Everyone must submit a review letter tomorrow afternoon, and if they can't, they will be demoted and reduced in salary, and they will be reviewed for half a year." Li Boling coldly put down a cruel sentence, then got into his jeep and disappeared in front of everyone.

After Li Boling's car completely disappeared, everyone whispered tremblingly for a while, and walked quickly to their respective apartments.

"Wen Yuan, and slow." Before he could take two steps, a slightly gentle middle-aged male voice sounded behind him.

"Deacon Hou?" Wang Wenyuan was a little surprised, it turned out to be Hou Shaochun, Li Boling's absolute confidant.

"The principal asked me to tell you that you don't have to submit a review tomorrow afternoon, but you must complete two new tasks with quality and quantity."

"New mission?" He stopped and looked at Hou Shaochun with a serious face.

"The first was a day of voluntary labor at the orphanage on Vinny Street, and the second was a day of work in place of Pavlov as a river harbour keeper." Hou Shaochun said slowly with a straight face.

"But both of these tasks would take a whole day, so how could I possibly do both?" He spread his hands a little helplessly, and said in his heart that this was not called punishment, but deliberately raising the pole.

"By the way, Miss Gu is in room 608 of the Vila Carlos Hotel." Hou Shaochun suddenly walked up to him mysteriously, patted him on the shoulder, and then left behind such a nonsensical sentence.

"Not sooner." Wang Wenyuan glared at him, then sprinted 100 meters and went straight to the hotel building.

At this moment, Gu Yuexi was resting quietly on the leather sofa next to the bay window, her eyes were slightly closed, her arms were slightly drooping, indeed, the fight just now made her body fall into a state of extreme exhaustion.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a soft, slow knock on her door, which at first glance sounded like a hotel attendant cleaning.

"Didn't you just clean it up at noon?" She couldn't help but mutter, and then shouted, "What's the matter? ”

"Girl, thank you, open the door, I have something important to report." Wang Wenyuan hurriedly explained his intentions, and at the same time secretly thought about how to make his request tactfully and clearly after a while.

A trace of doubt suddenly appeared in her heart, and she said in her heart, Could it be that Li Boling asked him to reveal to her the clues about the Snow Mountain Scroll? But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was not right, even if Wang Wenyuan was promoted, he was still an ordinary person in Seweiyin, and it was impossible for Li Boling to tell him such an important thing.

Slowly unlocking the door, her eyes met his mud and bloodstained clothes.

"Sit down." An uncomfortable feeling suddenly arose in her heart, she was only thinking about the Snow Mountain Scroll just now, so she didn't have time to worry about his safety.

"It's not hurt." She hurried to fetch him a glass of pure water, and trotted to place it on the table beside him.

"The shoe is off." He stifled a smile, the first time he had seen her so busy.

She threw on her slippers slightly awkwardly and sat across from him with a complicated expression.

"I'm not hurt, how could I be so stupid and lose my life for the so-called ethereal fame and fortune?" He said lightly, not realizing that his little caution had already been penetrated by her.

"That's good." She replied to him with duplicity.

After being silent for a while, Wang Wenyuan finally mustered up the courage and said to her word by word: "That, girl, I have something I want to ask you to help me with." ”

"Oh?" Her expression was slightly stunned, and then she said in a soft tone, "But it's okay to say it." ”

"Tomorrow the company has assigned me two tasks, one is to go to the dock as a caretaker, and the other is to go to the orphanage for a day of voluntary labor, both of which require a whole day's time, I can't take care of it, I just want to ask you to go out of the mountain and give me some guidance." Wang Wenyuan said while thinking, trying his best to make his words as concise and clear as possible.

"Tomorrow the maximum temperature is 44 degrees Celsius, and I don't want to go out." She pouted, looking reluctant.

"For the sake of us fighting side by side, it's up to me once, okay?" Wang Wenyuan hurriedly restrained the slight loss in his heart, and showed a fake smile that could not be faked.

"Alas......" Gu Yuexi pretended to be impatient, and then said slowly: "It's done, it's up to you once, but I want to go to the river to enjoy the scenery." ”

Hearing her words, his face turned white in an instant, he knew that he should have revealed it to her half-truths, he didn't want to go to the orphanage to do voluntary labor, after all, he was impatient, and he didn't hold back his mouth, and he didn't look like the material for taking care of the child.

It seems that Li Boling is really a treacherous and cunning red fox, digging pits and laying mines for him everywhere, and vowing not to give up if he is not blown up into black pepper.

When the cool wind blew across the vast Briganga River in the early morning, Wang Wenyuan appeared at the entrance of the river port, at this time, he was pushing an old-fashioned bicycle and carrying a dusty backpack, as for how he persuaded her to go to the orphanage to work last night, it must have been achieved through a series of sugar-coated shells, there is a saying, to overcome rigidity with softness, he is soft, she is rigid.

"Lord Deacon, please take a look." Before he could sit down, two employees of the bank came with books of accounts and asked him to check them.

Indeed, the reason why Sevi Bank was able to settle in Bangladesh was not only because of valuable information, but also because it took the initiative to take over some affairs of the local authorities, such as collecting taxes, building roads, building ports, etc., among them, taxation is the simplest, but the money earned is no less than the latter two.

After a simple check, Wang Wenyuan found that among all the ships passing through the port in recent days, the number of ships transporting bulk commodities was the largest, reaching about four-fifths, and among the ships transporting bulk commodities, metal products were the mainstay.

"Something is wrong." Wang Wenyuan couldn't help but shake his head, although there are 5 big cities such as Dhaka along the Briganga River, and the industry is relatively developed, but in general, Bangladesh is still an agricultural country, even the most industrially developed Dhaka region, its industrial output is still at a low level, so the region does not need so many industrial raw materials, it does not have such a large production capacity, and it does not have such a large consumer market.

Of course, there is also the possibility that they are just on the registration form, filled in the so-called metal products.

"By the way, when you collect the toll tax, do you usually board the ship to inspect the goods?" Driven by curiosity, he called the employee on standby and asked casually.

"Of course, Lord Deacon, a ship carrying metal products will generally charge a 3% more toll tax than a ship carrying agricultural products." Perhaps afraid that the new administrator would not believe him, the employee also pointed to the industrial and commercial regulations posted on the wall next to him.

"It's weird, they're stupid and have a lot of money." Wang Wenyuan looked puzzled, and suddenly, he frowned, as if he had thought of some terrible existence, and immediately asked the employee; "What about the toll tax and arms supplies for opium poppy and other agricultural products?"

"The poppy is higher than the metal product, and the munitions are even higher, more than three times that of the metal product." The employee froze for a moment, as if he felt that something was wrong with the new administrator's mind, but he answered all of his questions as they were.

"In a moment, I'll inspect the goods myself." Wang Wenyuan simply stood up and walked towards the depths of the dock.

"No need my lord, our Sevi Silver is already meticulous enough, I think at the beginning, those Bihar people, but the form was filled in randomly." The employee immediately looked surprised, he had never seen such a conscientious administrator before.

Just after 8 o'clock, there were more boats on the river, but these boats were all small boats pulling fish and transporting vegetables, and there was not a single ship transporting metal products in sight.

He wanted to ask the employees on the side again, but he quickly dismissed this idea, because hearing is false, seeing is believing, and besides, those employees have not been less fishy during their work, so they must not be able to ask anything valuable.

Before he knew it, after noon, in addition to more than 100 ships transporting agricultural products, he did encounter more than 10 cargo ships transporting steel and non-ferrous metals, but this ratio was a little too different from that in the account books.

When the sun set down on the other side of the river, the employees laughed and packed their bags and told him that it was time to leave work and that another group would come to take their place in the evening.

Wang Wenyuan muttered, and secretly decided to stay and take a look, after all, there were hundreds of boats pulling metal products in one night, and the scene was extremely shocking to think about.

Since the dock was full of undeveloped woods, he didn't worry much about being discovered by others, so he found a random spot with a good view and good concealment, and ambushed him.

Soon, two army-green jeeps slowly drove into the small square in the river harbor, and immediately after, two groups of slightly familiar people in camouflage uniforms appeared in his line of sight.

He was slightly surprised, the person who came was none other than someone else, one of them was a group of high-level figures in Seviyin, such as the chief Li Boling, deacon Hou Shaochun, Zhao Chenghui, etc., and the other group of people he didn't know most, but he saw Jia Hanji.
