"We paid for the goods, why do you want to detain them?"

The security guard was very impatient. "Don't talk nonsense to me. Anyway, you can't take this batch of goods away today!"

Seeing that the tension between the two sides was growing, Shi Xiu hurried to intervene.

"Everyone calm down and listen to me first."

At Shi Xiu's eye signal, Ling Chuan and Ling Jiang suppressed their anger and kept silent.

The security guard didn't know Shi Xiu, so he naturally wouldn't give her face. "Who are you? What do you want? Get out of here!"

Shi Xiu was not angry either. She patted Ling Chuan and Ling Jiang's arms with a smile and said, "They are my half-brothers. I brought them to the factory to get the goods. Now that they have encountered a problem, it is natural for me, as their elder sister, to mediate, right?"

As he spoke, Shi Xiu took two steps forward and pulled the security guard aside to talk in private.

"Little brother, it's freezing cold, but you can stay at home, warm yourself by the fire and drink some wine. Life is so beautiful. If it weren't for a living, who would want to run around outside? Don't you think so? My two brothers are young and ignorant. This is their first time doing this business. We accidentally broke the factory rules and caused you trouble. I apologize to you on their behalf."

As he said that, Shi Xiu took out 10 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand, "Little brother, I am older than you, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Shi.

I do business at the small commodity market on Guomao North Road. If your wife or sister needs to buy jewelry, just come to me and I will give them a few pairs of jewelry to wear for fun."

Shi Xiu's humble attitude undoubtedly gave the security guard enough face, and the other party's anger subsided a lot immediately.

"I haven't married yet."

Shi Xiu immediately smiled and said, "What's the big deal? You are good-looking and have a stable job. It won't be easy for you to find a wife. There are many young, beautiful and unmarried working girls in our small commodity market. If you have time, come to me and I will introduce you to some."

This touched the security guard's heart, "Sister, are you serious?"

Shi Xiu patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. The girls in our market are all pretty and hardworking. They earn no less than you men."

The security guard looked at Ling Chuan and the others, then looked at the 10 yuan in his hand, and suddenly his heart was in a struggle.

It was the warehouse manager's order to make things difficult for Ling Chuan. If he let the man go, he would have a hard time reporting back tomorrow.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Shi Xiu immediately struck while the iron was hot, "Little brother, I know you are also following orders, but the rules are dead, people are alive.

Look, the bill of lading says there are 27 bags of goods, and there are 27 bags of goods on our truck, so there is no problem, right? Even if the people above ask about it, it has nothing to do with you, right? "

After Shi Xiu's reminder, the security guard suddenly got an epiphany.

The number of pieces of goods matches, and as long as he doesn't mention the issue of sealing the sacks, the leader won't know about it and he won't be held accountable.

The security guard put the 10 yuan into his pocket and waved to Ling Chuan and the other two.

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

Ling Chuan was overjoyed and immediately called Ling Jiang and Deng Wenbin to load the goods.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen again, the three men put all their efforts into moving the goods. After a short while, they had loaded all 27 large sacks into the carriage, and they were exhausted and sweating.

The security guard took the key and went to open the iron gate. When passing by Shi Xiu, he reminded her, "Sister, is what you just said true? I will come to see you in two days."

"Of course, just come. Dress up nicely. Girls nowadays like handsome guys."

The security guard narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay!"

Ling Chuan finally let go of his worries after the truck completely drove out of the factory gate.

After the pickup truck pulled over to the side of the road, Ling Chuan jumped out of the car and came to the passenger seat where Shi Xiu was sitting.

"Sister Shi, let's not go to the train station yet. We'll leave tomorrow."

After that, Ling Chuan briefly told him that Rong Zhengchang had invited him to go to the garment factory to check out the goods tomorrow.

Shi Xiu didn't say anything, "What about the goods in your car? It's so cold, you can't stay in the car all night, right?

This is also where Lingchuan is in trouble.

27 sacks of goods are of considerable size and they certainly cannot be placed in the hotel. We have to find a proper place to put them.

"How about this? Have the driver drive the car to my doorstep and park it there. You can take turns keeping watch at night."

That's one way.

Lingchuan found the driver again, negotiated the price, and then the truck drove towards Shi Xiu's home.

Shi Xiu's home was not far from the small commodity market, which was the staff compound of the Ministry of Railways.

The compound is strictly managed, and no outside vehicles are allowed to enter. Small trucks can only be parked on both sides of the road in front of the compound gate.

After the truck stopped, Shi Xiu reminded Ling Chuan and the other two, "The security in this area is not very good. At night, petty thieves like to hang around here. The goods on this truck must be guarded by someone. No one can leave it alone for a moment."

Ling Chuan nodded solemnly and then allocated time for the three of them.

Deng Wenbin guarded the evening, Ling Jiang guarded the first half of the night, and he guarded the second half of the night.

After he made all the arrangements, Shi Xiu invited them to his home for dinner, but Ling Chuan refused.

Shi Xiu's husband is a railway worker and is often not at home. There are only her mother-in-law and a son at home. As they are grown men and it is night time, it is inevitable that they will cause gossip if they go there.

"Sister Shi, thanks to you today, otherwise this batch of goods would have been detained. I'm really sorry that you wasted a day. Go back and call your family, and let's go to a nearby restaurant to have a meal together."

Shi Xiu hesitated for a moment, perhaps feeling that it would be inconvenient to bring so many people home, so he agreed.

With Shi Xiu's introduction, Ling Chuan chose a local specialty restaurant.

"I often invite customers to this restaurant. The food tastes good, the portions are generous, and the price is reasonable."

Ling Chuan nodded in agreement, "The place Sister Shi chose must be right."

After they sat down, the waiter came over to take the order, and Ling Chuan directly asked Shi Xiu to arrange it.

Shi Xiu did not refuse. Together with Deng Wenbin, there were a total of 7 adults and 1 child. They ordered 8 dishes, four meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, plus a beef blood soup.

After the dishes came, Ling Chuan asked everyone to eat while they were hot. He asked the waiter for two lunch boxes, one for rice and one for vegetables, and then stood up to go out.

Seeing this, Shi Xiu advised: "Brother Ling, eat first. The food will get cold soon. You can take it with you on your way back after you finish eating."

"It's okay. I can run fast and will be back soon. Big brother, you take care of everyone. If the food is not enough, just order some more."

Ling Jiang nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, I know."
