Chapter 264 Phone Trouble 2
You must not give in to the mighty, even if the person in front of you is a leader, you must not show weakness in momentum.
Yike and Liu Baoer walked forward a few steps and stood in front of the middle-aged man. Liu Baoer asked first: "Are you the leader of the post office?"
"Liu Baoer, are you Liu Baoer?" the middle-aged man asked with a frown.
"I am, who are you? How do you know me?" Liu Baoer also frowned and looked at the middle-aged man, thinking hard.
"If you can't remember, don't think about it. I'm the leader here. Are you here to cause trouble? Your father said you are very naughty. You wouldn't be naughty and come to me, would you?" The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Oh, so you know my dad. Humph, I knew that my dad never says anything good about me." Liu Baoer muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Comrade leader, it's not my cousin who's causing trouble today. It's your salesperson who has a bad attitude and incorrect thoughts that's causing it."
Yi Ke stepped forward and explained.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man saw that Yi Ke was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not at all like the country bumpkin that the salesperson described. The salesperson's vision was too poor.
In fact, the middle-aged man was at the door when the commotion was happening outside, he just didn't show up. He just wanted to see how things would develop, and if the salesperson could solve the problem, he would not show up.
But he didn't expect that the little girl was so good at talking. If he didn't come out, the salesperson might really be instigated by the little girl to incite the crowd. If it was reported, he, as a leader, would be in trouble.
"This is my cousin," Liu Baoer introduced.
"Oh, young comrade, can you tell me what happened? Don't worry, I will handle it fairly." asked the post office leader.
Yike just told the story exactly as it happened, without adding any embellishment.
The post office leader asked the clerk again if this was true. She wanted to argue, but was frightened by the leader's stern look and had to nod and admit it.
The post office leader first severely criticized the salesperson and ordered her to apologize to Yi Ke and Liu Baoer. The salesperson said reluctantly, "I'm sorry." Then he stood beside her and stared at Yike viciously. It seemed that he was holding a grudge against Yike, but Yike was not afraid of her holding a grudge against him.
"What? You're still not convinced? With your work attitude like this, and the fact that people just said you overcharged people for phone calls, do you think no one knows about it? From today on, you go sweep the floor, and you don't have to work this counter anymore."
"Director, I know I was wrong. Please don't make me sweep the floor." The salesperson then panicked.
"If you don't want to sweep the floor, then go home. If it weren't for the fact that you have worked here for so many years, do you think you can still stay in this position for what you have done?" said the post office leader seriously.
"I will sweep the floor. I will sweep the floor. I have a big family to support. I can't live without this job. Director, please be kind and let me sweep the floor. I will do my best and never make mistakes again." The salesperson shed tears.
"Hmph, go ahead." The post office leader dealt with the salesperson and said to Yi Ke, "Since the salesperson's attitude has caused you verbal harm, your phone charges for today's call will be waived. Where do you want to call? There are two phones here, one for long-distance calls and one for short-distance calls."
"I want to call Kyoto." Yike took out a piece of paper with a phone number written on it and said.
The post office leader looked at it for a moment or two, but didn't say anything, and just pointed at the long-distance phone. When Yi Ke went to make a phone call, Liu Baoer was standing there waiting.
"What kind of relative is she to you?" the post office leader asked Liu Baoer.
"My aunt's daughter."
"Isn't your aunt in Kyoto?" The post office leader was surprised. He knew that Liu Baoer's aunt's family was a powerful family in Kyoto.
"Yes, youngest daughter. Why? Do you suspect I'm lying to you?"
"No, I haven't."
Yike dialed the number and held the receiver to listen to the long "beep...beep" sound of waiting.
After waiting for a while, a sweet female voice came from the receiver: "Hello, who is this?"
"Sister, it's me, Yike."
"Sister, is that your sister?" A high-decibel voice from the other end of the phone hit my eardrums directly.
"Haha, it's cousin Xin'er, right? That girl must be so happy, her voice is so loud." Liu Baoer laughed beside them.
Telephones these days are just like mobile phones in the past with speakerphone turned on. When someone is talking on the other end, everyone within half a meter around can hear it. There is no privacy at all.
Yike moved the microphone further away from her ear and answered, "It's me, sister. How are you? How is mom? Is mom home?"
"Oh, I'm here. I'll call for you." Xin'er's high-pitched voice came from the other side of the phone, asking her mother to answer the phone. After she finished shouting, she spoke to Yike, "Sister, why did you take so long to call? We have been wanting to call you for a long time. We called your production team, but they said you were not at home. We were so worried. Did anything happen to you?"
"No, I'm fine. I just went out to do something. Is everything okay for you when you get back?" Yi Ke asked.
"No, I still go to school like before. Hey, Mom, don't snatch it, my sister won't run away." Xin'er's grumbling voice came from the other side.
"Yike, yike." Zhong Tongqi's crying voice came from the microphone.
"Hey, Mom, it's me. I'm fine, don't worry." Yike was also infected and started to speak in a nasal tone.
"Okay, okay, that's good. I called your team and your team leader said you were not at home. I was so worried. If you don't call again, I will ask your aunt to look for you. Mom is scared after what happened last time. Good boy, next time you are going out for a long time, let your aunt know. Ah!"
"Okay, I remember. Are you feeling well?"
"Okay, after taking the medicine you gave me, I feel much better now, and I sleep better now. I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good. I have seen many doctors for this problem but none of them could help me."
"Mom, it's mainly because you're in a better mood, so the medicine worked."
"Yike, can you let me talk to my aunt?" Liu Baoer felt itchy.
"Here, here you go, but you better keep your words short." Yike said into the microphone, "Mom, cousin Baoer wants to talk to you."
"Aunt, it's me, Baoer. Don't worry, I will help you take good care of your cousin..." Liu Baoer said a lot of things in a row.
The head of the post office really believed it this time. Yi Ke was the daughter of a powerful family in Kyoto. He secretly thanked his luck that he did not favor his clerk when handling the problem today. If the matter really got out of hand, he would be in trouble.
Although the call was free, Yi Ke still hung up after only 20 minutes. Liu Baoer was even more reluctant to leave than Yi Ke, the protagonist, and even wanted to talk to her aunt. Yi Ke was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Before leaving, Yi Ke praised the post office leader: "Comrade leader, you have a very high level of ideological awareness. You are really a good leader."
Yike and Liu Baoer left the post office, and Liu Baoer whispered in Yike's ear: "Cousin, you are so good at telling lies, haha, don't tell me, it really works."
Yike said seriously: "Cousin, those are not nonsense, those are the truth of the leaders." "Okay, they are the truth. I will learn from you in the future and use these truths to hit those who make me unhappy. Haha!" Liu Baoer laughed uncontrollably at the thought of that scene.
"Cousin, do you want to have an ice lolly?" Yike felt very hot and wanted to eat something cold.
"I will eat it, of course. Just wait, your cousin will treat you." Liu Baoer ran to buy two popsicles and handed one to Yi Ke, muttering, "The guy who bought the popsicles is so ruthless. These are just made of water, and he still charges me two cents."
"It's a little expensive. Do you like it? I'll ask you to make mung bean popsicles. I guarantee they'll taste better than these white ones."
"Really? You can also make popsicles?"
"As long as there are materials, we will definitely make it."
"What materials do you need? Let's go buy them now."
So Liu Baoer hurriedly dragged Yike to buy materials. After buying the materials, she asked Yike to teach her how to make it. Yike had no choice but to teach her patiently.
It was not until mid-afternoon that Yike was able to go home. However, when he went home, Yi Ke packed more than a dozen popsicles in a cardboard box. Of course, he froze them like he did in his previous life, otherwise they would have melted before he got home.
