Chapter 176: Fork in the Road
Chapter 176: Fork in the Road
Ten minutes later, Cheng Wenxin walked in with a cup of brown sugar water.
Then he put the cup on the table and sat next to me.
"I've prepared some brown sugar water for you, it's just a little hot, you can drink it later."
"Okay." I looked at him, "By the way, Wenxin, I have a plan that I want to tell you about."
"what's the plan?"
"Starting tomorrow, I need to investigate some things and some people, so I won't be back at noon. But I will be back after get off work in the evening."
"No, if you don't come back, Dad and I will be worried about you. What will we do if something happens to you again?"
"Don't worry, I will protect myself. And this time, I will not act alone, but do it with others."
"With whom?"
"With Xiaoru, or the disciples of Feizhen Sect. As long as I don't act on my own, nothing will go wrong."
"That's not OK."
"why?"
"Nan Xi, have you forgotten about your sect? They finally cleared their relationship with you, but you went back to look for them. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"But if I don't investigate, I will always be a fool and know nothing.
If this is the case, then I would be unworthy of my master's teachings and my identity as a disciple of the Feizhen School.
So, Wenxin, please agree to my request, okay?"
Vice President Cheng thought for a moment, "In that case, I will agree to your request. But I need to send a few people to follow you. Don't worry, they are your helpers and will not affect your actions.
They can help when there is a shortage of manpower, and they can also help you if you are in danger.
Besides, Nanxi, this is my last concession. On the one hand, it is for your safety, and on the other hand, it is to reassure Dad.
If you don’t agree, then I won’t allow you to do that.”
"Okay, I agree."
"Yeah. I see it's getting late, I'll go wash up first."
"Okay." I said and he went to the bathroom.
At noon on October 10, after I had my meal, I drove to the beauty salon.
Of course, I didn’t go in, but went to the fork in the road from last time.
As for the people from Cheng Wenxin's group, they drove behind me and walked forward after I got off the car.
They followed quietly behind me because Cheng Wenxin told them that they were only there to protect me and not to interfere with my actions.
This time, I chose to go to the left and walked slowly inside.
But this road is like a maze, with a sign and a street light every ten or so steps.
I went back and forth several times and saw the same thing.
So I walked back and walked several times before I got back to the starting point.
Then, I walked to the right intersection. This time, unlike the road on the left, it was a smooth road without standing still.
There was nothing extra except the street lamp on top. But the road was a bit long, and it took me fifteen minutes to reach the end.
At the end, there was a door and I pushed it open.
As soon as you enter, what appears in front of you is the back of Gushixinhe supermarket.
I walked a few more steps and found that there was a dead end ahead. I couldn't go any further, so I had to go back.
However, I thought this discovery was very important, so I took out my phone and took a few photos. After taking the photos, I returned the same way I came.
At this time, I looked at the time and it was already 12:30, so I drove to Chengjia Industrial Park.
When I got there, it was not yet time to go to work, so I didn't go in. Instead, I leaned back on the chair and took a nap.
When those people saw me like this, they thought there was no problem, so they drove back and reported to Vice President Cheng.
After hearing what they said, Vice President Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would have been worried all morning. Fortunately, I just walked around and nothing happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to cry.
At 2:30 p.m., Mr. Meng appeared at the gate of Chengjia Industrial Park.
Then he walked in and went to the storeroom. He knocked on the door before entering.
"Manager Nan, I'm here to renew our previous cooperation with you."
"Okay, then just hand the things over to us." I stood up and looked at him, "Mr. Meng, why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me? I'm the president of our bank. If it's not me who's going to do the contract renewal, who else can do it?"
"Yes, yes, you said so."
Xiaoru smiled and gestured for him to sit down. "Mr. Meng, please sit down."
"Okay." Mr. Meng sat down, opened his briefcase, took out the documents inside, and handed them to us, "Here, take a look first."
"Okay." I took it and looked at the content with Xiaoru.
We finished reading it in 20 minutes, and then I called Vice President Cheng to verify the matter.
Xiaoru opened the filing cabinet and looked for relevant documents.
Vice President Cheng said that there was this cooperation, and asked me to check the information. If there was no problem, I would modify the date and some key issues in the file in the computer and print it out.
As for the signature, you don't need to sign it yet, just stamp it with the official seal. After stamping it with the official seal, let Mr. Meng sign it, and then wait for us to sign it, and then send it to him.
After listening to his words, I nodded and agreed. Then, I told Xiaoru what Vice President Cheng said.
Next, we did this according to Vice President Cheng’s arrangements.
After finishing, Mr. Meng left first. As for us, we continued to do our work.
"Hey, Manager Nan, do you know this Mr. Meng?"
"Yes, I worked in the supermarket he opened for a while."
"I see. Have you been in contact with him since you came here?"
"No more. If he hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have been able to see him."
"Okay." Xiaoru nodded.
I sorted out the documents in front of me and looked at her again, "What's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"
"It's okay. I just wanted to ask if you know him and see if the supermarket he runs is hiring. If you need help, I want to ask for my aunt."
"Oh, that's easy. I'll give you his phone number, and then you contact him to see if he needs help. If he does, ask your aunt to go over and take a look."
"OK, thanks."
"You're welcome." I picked up my phone, found the address book, clicked on Mr. Meng's number, and then copied and pasted it into Xiaoru's WeChat. "Okay, Xiaoru, I've sent it to you."
"Okay." Xiaoru opened WeChat, looked at the number, and saved it.
Then, she stood up and dialed the number. Then, she started talking to Mr. Meng. After about ten minutes of communication, Xiaoru hung up the phone.
