After having a late-night snack, I returned to the room next to Uncle Huang's. At that moment, I was still thinking about Shantang'ao.
Uncle Huang said that someone from above would be sent over. Could that person be my grandfather?
The timing is perfect, and Grandpa moved here from Kyoto. If that person really was Grandpa, then Grandpa might still have relatives in Kyoto. But now that Grandpa is gone, even if he had relatives, there's no way to find them. Besides, Grandpa never mentioned them when he was alive.
Uncle Huang said that a taboo was found at Shantang'ao. What exactly is this taboo?
When I was a child, the old people in the village often said that there were leopards in Shantang'ao, and they told us children never to go there to play. Now I think that maybe it wasn't a leopard at all, but something we were afraid of, but we just didn't dare to say it.
And why did Grandpa choose a burial site facing Shantang'ao? Is there some hidden reason behind it?
However, the USB drive that my grandfather left behind didn't teach me any feng shui techniques, and I knew absolutely nothing about them myself.
My grandfather had the best relationship with the village chief, Feng Dahai, when he was alive. It seems I really need to visit him sometime and ask if I can find out any hidden secrets.
That night, my mind was filled with thoughts of Shantang'ao, and I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
I don't know when it was late at night, but I couldn't stay awake any longer and finally fell asleep.
The next day, I woke up groggily and found that my phone was dead. No wonder the alarm clock didn't go off. I looked at my watch and realized it was already past 10 a.m. I jumped out of bed, quickly put on my shoes, grabbed my things, and went out.
As soon as I came out, I saw Uncle Huang drinking tea in the lobby, and sitting opposite him was Huang Haitao, the owner of the express delivery station.
"Haha, Changming, you're awake! Did you sleep well last night?" Uncle Huang stood up and laughed heartily as soon as he saw me.
Uncle Huang looks great today; compared to his listless appearance yesterday, he looks 10 years younger.
"It's alright." I smiled and greeted Uncle Huang as I walked over, then said to Huang Haitao, "Uncle Huang, Mr. Huang, I'll take my leave now. I still have things to do at the courier station."
"Hehe, Changming, don't worry, I've already spoken to your boss. He'll give you two days off, and you'll still get paid. Come on, have a cup of tea first." Uncle Huang quickly beckoned me over.
Huang Haitao also said with a smile, "Yes, Changming, you've been working for so many years. Let me give you two days off to rest properly. Remember to balance work and rest."
"Little Huang, with Changming's skills, it's a waste of his talent to be working at your courier station delivering packages," Uncle Huang said softly, glancing at Huang Haitao.
"Haha, if Xiao Yin hadn't told me, how would I have known that Changming had this ability? But for now, I'll let Changming do as he pleases. If he wants to work, he can work. If he finds a better opportunity, then I wish him a bright future." Huang Haitao laughed heartily, without the slightest affectation.
"Hehe, Changming, you heard it all, didn't you?" Uncle Huang chuckled as he looked at me.
I scratched my head a little embarrassed. This Uncle Huang, saying that in front of my boss, isn't he just making things difficult for me? But I don't plan to change jobs for the time being.
"Hehe, Mr. Huang, I don't plan to change jobs for the time being. Delivering packages is fine too," I said with a serious expression.
"Haha, good, good, Changming, if you're free, just deliver packages. If you get any work, just let Xiaoyin know. Anyway, the delivery station has plenty of manpower." Huang Haitao patted his knees and laughed heartily, looking very happy.
When I heard Huang Haitao say that there were enough people, I thought of Deng Xiaohong. Zhang Guangyin had also said that Deng Xiaohong was brought in by the boss, so I decided to take this opportunity to ask her indirectly.
I sat down next to Huang Haitao and casually asked, "By the way, Mr. Huang, where did you find such an excellent employee as Deng Xiaohong?"
"Oh? You also think Xiao Deng works hard?" Huang Haitao raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
"Yes." I nodded.
"Hehe, I thought he was just there to kill time." Huang Haitao chuckled and continued, "Actually, I didn't find Deng Xiaohong; it was arranged by my superior. I don't know him very well either."
"I originally thought that Xiao Deng was just loafing around at the courier station and would eventually go home and join the business. I didn't expect that this kid is actually hardworking."
"Oh, no wonder he drives to work." I pretended to suddenly realize something and seized the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Huang, don't you know his family?"
Huang Haitao shook his head and said slowly, "I don't know them, but my superiors said their family does business in the city, and it seems they moved here from Beijing."
I was startled when I heard that. Moved from the capital?
I remember that my grandfather also moved from Beijing. Could there be any connection between the two?
However, I quickly abandoned this unrealistic idea. My grandfather has been here for decades, what could possibly be the connection?
Seeing that I couldn't get any useful information, I didn't intend to ask any further questions.
However, I suddenly thought of An Lili again. An Lili seemed to know Deng Xiaohong, but Deng Xiaohong never mentioned it.
Another thing is that An Lili was also recruited by Huang Haitao. Taking this opportunity, I would like to inquire about An Lili's situation.
"Mr. Huang is really something! He already found An Lili, a college student, and now he's found a rich second-generation to deliver packages." I gave Huang Haitao a thumbs up and praised him.
"Hehe, it was all arranged by my superiors. I don't have that ability!" Huang Haitao chuckled, his face full of pride.
I frowned involuntarily. I didn't expect that An Lili was also arranged by that leader. But why would this leader do this, or is there someone behind him instructing him to do this?
However, I don't know who Huang Haitao's boss is, so I'll just leave it at that for now. If Deng Xiaohong doesn't mean to hurt me, I won't bother with her.
"An Lili was a good employee, it's just a pity he quit," I said casually.
"Hehe, it's not that An Lili quit, it's that her superiors called her back, probably because they have a better job offer for her," Huang Haitao said with a smile.
I was startled. An Lili had been called back by that leader. What was the reason for her being called back?
Could it be that An Lili failed to complete some task assigned by her superiors at the courier station, so Deng Xiaohong was sent instead?
I feel that Deng Xiaohong is even more dangerous than An Lili, and he also possesses magical powers. It seems I need to be more careful in the future.
But now she can't get through to An Lili by phone, and she doesn't know if she's in any danger.
I suddenly really want to know how An Lili is doing now, but I don't know how to face her.
Perhaps none of this was her intention. I've decided that once I'm done with Ma Jiabao's matter, I'll visit An Lili's house. If I see her, I'll ask her some questions in person, including about Deng Xiaohong.
"Alright, stop chatting. Changming hasn't had breakfast yet. He doesn't need to eat now. Let's go have lunch." Uncle Huang put down his teacup, clapped his hands, and stood up to say this.
