Ling Chuan nodded, "I'm married now. My wife is still studying and will be taking the college entrance exam next year. I work hard to earn money so that I can support her to go to college in the future."
The old man showed some regret on his face, "I have no sons, only two daughters. The eldest daughter got married two years ago, and the youngest daughter is still single.
I was thinking of finding a live-in son-in-law for her. To be honest, I liked you the first time I saw you, but it's a pity that you're already married."
Ling Chuan originally just wanted to ask the other party for advice on business, but he didn't expect that the other party only wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, which made him feel awkward for a moment.
"Uncle, thank you for your kindness. I, I love my wife. She is the only woman I will ever love in my life."
I thought the old man would be unhappy after being rejected by me, but I didn't expect him to laugh and say, "It's okay, meeting is fate, I'll just treat it as making a little brother."
"It is also an honor for us brothers to receive your guidance."
After hearing this, the old man subconsciously looked at Ling Jiang and said, "Why, are you two brothers? Oh, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that you two look a bit alike."
Ling Chuan introduced Ling Jiang to the other party, "This is my eldest brother. We are the only two brothers in our family."
"Hello, brothers."
The old man looked Ling Jiang up and down with a smile, and there was a bit of satisfaction in his eyes, "Is your eldest brother married?"
Before Ling Chuan could speak, Ling Jiang rushed to answer, "Okay, my son... my daughter is already 6 years old."
"Oh, you only have one daughter?"
Ling Jiang was stunned for a moment by the question, and then nodded vaguely, "Ah."
Afraid of mentioning his eldest brother's sad story, Ling Chuan quickly changed the subject: "Uncle, where are you from?"
"I'm from northern Shaanxi..."
From casual conversation, I learned that the old man's surname is Rong, his full name is Rong Zhengchang, he is 46 years old this year, and runs a clothing stall in his hometown county.
"Brother Ling, are you going back like this this time?"
"Well, we'll go straight to the train station in a bit."
Rong Zhengchang moved closer to him and whispered, "If you trust me, stay one more day. I'll take you to a place with good stuff tomorrow."
Ling Chuan brought a total of 5,000 yuan in payment for the goods this time, but now he has only received goods worth 2,000 yuan, and he has 3,000 yuan left on him. He is going back like this, and he feels a little unwilling.
Hearing the other party's words, my heart was moved, "What kind of goods is it?"
"Padded jackets, lined jackets, and if you're lucky, down jackets and overcoats are all leftovers from export. The quality is top-notch. This year is much colder than last year, so these things are easy to sell like gold."
Ling Chuan was not overwhelmed by the other party's words. "Uncle Chang, to be honest, I only brought more than 2,000 yuan with me this time. After paying for the goods, I only had a little money left for the trip."
Rong Zhengchang felt a little regretful, "Then there is nothing we can do. Okay, I will help you make money next time."
As he spoke, Rong Zhengchang reached into the inner pocket of his jacket, fumbled for a long time before pulling out a matchbox-sized piece of paper and handed it to Ling Chuan.
"This is my home phone number, Brother Ling, keep it. You can contact me if you need anything in the future."
Ling Chuan took the piece of paper with body temperature and looked at the number written crookedly in ballpoint pen on it, feeling a little ashamed.
"Uncle Chang, can I go with you to the factory tomorrow to take a look? If the goods are good, I'll try to find a way to raise some money from my acquaintances and take a batch of goods back to try."
"Okay, come with me tomorrow and take a look. If you think there's a way, you can go get the money."
After a while, small trucks drove over one after another. Rong Zhengchang stopped chatting and returned to his area to prepare for loading.
Seeing that there were only two people on Rong Zhengchang's side, Ling Chuan asked Ling Jiang to watch the goods behind him while he ran over to help.
Rong Zhengchang didn’t have much goods, just about ten sacks. With Ling Chuan’s help, they were packed in no time.
"good."
As soon as Rong Zhengchang left, Shi Xiu and Deng Wenbin came back with a small truck.
After loading the goods, Ling Chuan arrived at the factory gate and handed the delivery note in his hand to the security guard responsible for opening the door.
After looking at the list, the security guard stood up and walked out of the security room, walked around the pickup truck, and asked Ling Chuan to unload all the goods in the truck.
The goods that had just been loaded were asked to be unloaded again, and Ling Chuan was naturally unwilling to do so.
"We have paid for these goods. Here are the receipts. Why should we unload them?"
The security guard raised his head and squinted at him. "It says 27 bags on your delivery note, but I see you have more than 27 bags in your truck. Unload them all. I want to count them!"
Things have come to this point, and there is nothing Ling Chuan doesn't understand. He must have thought that the manager was holding a grudge against him, so he was deliberately making things difficult for him.
It was getting late, and if they delayed any further it would be dark. Ling Chuan had no choice but to swallow his anger and ask Ling Jiang and Deng Wenbin to start unloading the goods.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
There were three people, one handed the goods in the car, one received them below, and one was responsible for moving them to the open space next to them. They cooperated very well and unloaded all 27 bags of goods without much effort.
When they finished unloading, the security guard began to count loudly, "1, 2, 3...27."
Huh? How come there are only 27 bags? The security guard didn't believe it and started counting from the beginning, but after counting, there were still only 27 bags.
“Why are there only 27 bags?!”
Facing the security guard's angry questioning, Ling Chuan pretended to be confused, "Is there anything wrong with 27 bags?"
The security guard was speechless after being asked the question, but soon he also found something wrong with the sacks.
Formal large factories like theirs use professional sealing threads for sealing, but these sacks are just tied up casually with cotton ropes.
"Have you unpacked all these goods?"
"Can't I open the goods I paid for?"
"Of course not. Goods that haven't left the factory can't be unpacked privately. This is the factory's rule!"
"But we have already demolished it, what should we do?"
The security guard sneered, "All goods that have been opened privately will be detained and released only after strict inspection."
Ling Chuan's heart sank.
He had managed to avoid the manager's deception and schemes, but he didn't expect to be caught by the pigtails again.
“How long will the detention and inspection take?”
"It could be as short as two or three days, or as long as ten days or half a month."
Hearing that their goods would be detained for such a long time, Shi Xiu stepped forward to help speak up, "Brother, can you be flexible? The three of us came from Jiang City and are waiting to take the goods back to hand in our work. We really can't wait that long."
The security guard raised his nose in a commanding manner, "I don't care about you, I am just following the rules anyway!"
Seeing the security guard deliberately making things difficult, Ling Jiang also became a little angry. "It was your people who didn't explain clearly. We didn't even know there was such a rule. Besides, the seals of the cars that went out earlier were also removed. Why didn't they detain them?"
"I don't know. I just see that there is something wrong with your goods. If there is a problem, they must be detained. There is no point in saying anything!"
