Chapter 443: Inquiring for information and coming to the door
The residential area is a high-end residence and all vehicles entering and leaving must be registered. Outsiders like Zhang's father were stopped outside the gate by security guards before they could even enter.
"Who are you looking for?" The security guard looked at Zhang's father with a stern face. If Zhang's father hadn't been driving a decent car, his tone would have been even more impolite.
Zhang's father poked his head out and gave Zhang Jianguo's address.
The security guard's face suddenly changed, and he frowned and said, "Zhang Jianguo and his family no longer live here. Their house has been sealed off. You should leave quickly."
Father Zhang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Then do you know where they moved to?"
The security guard waved his hands impatiently, "How would I know this? I don't even know them!"
Father Zhang wanted to ask how he knew the family had moved away if he didn't know them, but the other party obviously didn't want to continue the topic, and it would be awkward to continue, so he had to drive away and stopped on the side of the road to smoke a cigarette. After a while, he picked up his phone and called Zhang Jianguo, but no one answered.
Unable to contact Zhang Jianguo, Zhang's father had no choice but to call Zhang's mother, "Lan, can I ask if you have the phone number of my sister-in-law or Nini?"
When Zhang's mother heard that Zhang's father was not asking for money, she breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "How could I have the phone number of a person like that? Don't you think we are not good enough to marry him?"
Father Zhang frowned, "Well, it's already this time, why are you still fussing about that? Really?"
"No, no, no." Zhang's mother hung up the phone angrily and sulked alone.
Father Zhang didn't expect Mother Zhang to have such a bad temper. He stared at his phone in a daze for a while before he let out a breath and turned to Huang Guilian's previous workplace. However, he didn't know who to look for here. After thinking about it, he could only buy a pack of cigarettes and approach the security guard. "Brother, I want to ask you something. Is Huang Guilian from your workplace still working here?"
The guard was a little confused when he saw the Zhonghua cigarette, but after hearing what Zhang's father said, he quickly put the things into the guard room, took Zhang's father in to sit for a while, and smiled politely: "I'm not saying that you should ask about people in our unit and find me. The Huang Guilian you mentioned was the section chief of our unit before, a woman who usually dresses well. Her husband was the director of the Land Bureau before, and he always looked down on people. If I wasn't a guard here and people often deposited things with me, I guess they wouldn't say a word to me."
The guard paused after he finished speaking, and Zhang's father immediately handed him a cigarette and lit it.
The guard looked outside, smoked contentedly, blew out a circle of smoke, and then continued: "It is said that flowers do not bloom forever, and people are not good forever. If you want to talk about this, you should not be too proud, otherwise no one will help you when you are in trouble. Not only will no one help you, but there will also be people who step on you.
Director Huang is in this situation. Her husband had just gotten into trouble, and the company said they found evidence of her dereliction of duty and forced her to resign and leave. In fact, there are many people who commit dereliction of duty. Most of the people who come to our company are people with connections. As long as their connections remain, they can just stay here and wait for retirement without having to do anything.
Once this relationship falls through, everything else becomes a cloud. It is better for a small security guard like me to be stable and down-to-earth. After all, we don't have to compete for power with them, right?
By the way, what did you want to know?"
Father Zhang looked depressed. After all this time, you finally thought of asking me, "I want to know Huang Guilian's contact information. Can you help me find out?"
Father Zhang didn't expect the security guard to do anything, it would be good enough if he could point him in a direction.
Unexpectedly, the guard took out an old communication form from the drawer without saying a word after hearing what Zhang's father said. He laughed and said, "You came at the right time. Every time there is a personnel change, the administration will replace it with a new communication form. I haven't had time to throw away the previous one. Let me take a look."
The guard was old and dim-sighted, so Zhang's father hurried over to help him look for her. When he saw Huang Guilian's name in the contact list, he was overjoyed and immediately said, "Here."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Please remember it."
Father Zhang quickly saved Huang Guilian's phone number in his mobile phone, thanked the security guard again and again, and then left in a hurry.
After walking a little further away, he called Huang Guilian. The call was connected, but no one answered.
Father Zhang frowned tightly and closed his eyes with a headache. After a while, he called Zhang Wanwan and asked, "Girl, where is the counter in the mall where you met Nini before?"
Zhang Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "Dad, haven't you found anyone yet?"
Father Zhang said depressedly: "No, I couldn't get through to your uncle, and your aunt's phone was connected but no one answered. I can only go to your cousin."
Zhang Wanwan had no choice but to report Zhang Nini's work address to her father.
Zhang's father walked around the city for a long time before he found the mall that Zhang Wanwan mentioned. The mall was huge, with so many counters that even though Zhang's father knew the specific floor, he still had a hard time finding it. He finally found the beauty area and the counter that Zhang Wanwan mentioned, but he didn't see Zhang Nini at all. He hurriedly asked the salesperson, "Hello, does Zhang Nini work here?"
The saleslady looked at Mr. Zhang suspiciously and shook her head innocently, "I don't know."
"Then can you help me find out?" Zhang's father asked anxiously.
Seeing Mr. Zhang's expression, the other party hesitated for a moment and called the supervisor over.
Father Zhang hurriedly said, "Hello, I am Zhang Nini's uncle. I have been looking for her for a long time but can't find her. Do you know her contact information?"
"Zhang Nini! We had such a person here before, but she worked for a very short time, just a few months, and resigned last month." The supervisor said, flipping through his phone and giving Zhang Nini's cell phone number to Zhang's father.
Mr. Zhang was so grateful to get the phone number that he bought a set of skin care products worth several hundred yuan.
Before leaving the mall, Zhang's father called Zhang Nini and paced back and forth anxiously. Fortunately, the call finally went through this time.
"Hello, who is this?" Zhang Nini's voice sounded hoarse, tired, and weak.
Father Zhang shouted in a hoarse voice: "Nini? I'm your uncle. Where are you now?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Zhang Nini's faint voice came out, "Uncle, I now live in Room XXX, Building XX, XXXX Garden."
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he hurried forward and said worriedly, "I'll be there right away. Stay home and don't go out."
When they arrived at the neighborhood that Zhang Nini mentioned, Zhang's father found that this place was similar to the old neighborhood they lived in before. It was also a demolition planned area. Some families in the community had already moved out, and only some nostalgic elderly people were still holding on, and would not move until the last moment.
