Tracking
Wei Xuan took them into the main room and sat them down. She poured each of them a glass of water before she started to greet them.
"Sisters-in-law, my name is Wei Xuan, and I'm Jiang Che's wife. You can call me Xiao Xuan or Xiao Wei. I wonder what you should call me, sisters-in-law?"
There were two women, the fatter one was called Lin Fengxia, and the tall and thin one was called Wang Cuiying. So where did Jiang Che find these two people?
After talking with them, Wei Xuan found out that the two were actually family members of workers at the National Cotton Mill, and that Jiang Che had lured them here from the family compound. The two still didn't understand what Wei Xuan and Jiang Che did, and were still asking Wei Xuan which factory was hiring.
Wei Xuan held her forehead and cursed Jiang Che from head to toe in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. She still smiled and explained to the two gently: "Two sisters-in-law, maybe Jiang Che didn't explain it clearly to you. This is not a state-owned unit, but a private store I opened. Why do you still do such a job?"
Lin Fengxia and Wang Cuiying were disappointed for a moment when they heard this, but they had been prepared. It is not easy to find a job, and they just happened to come across it. Before coming, Wang Cuiying said she was afraid it was a scam and would not come. In the end, Lin Fengxia said she would come and take a look, what if it was true, so she forced her to come.
Now hearing Wei Xuan ask them this, the two looked at each other, and Lin Fengxia asked straightforwardly: "Big sister, can I ask how much salary you paid this month?"
"Of course." Asking about the salary meant there was a chance. Wei Xuan told them in detail about the salary and job content without hiding anything.
...
...
After hearing this, Wang Cuiying asked hesitantly: "Is this really so? Is the salary really that high?" Could it be a lie? She remembered that the salary of a temporary worker in the factory was only a dozen yuan, which was not very high. How could a private store pay more than a state-owned factory? She said she didn't really believe it.
Wei Xuan told her confidently: "Of course it's true. I send it once a month. I live here and my store is nearby. There's no reason for me to lie to you, right?"
"No, no, we didn't mean that. I just want to ask clearly." Wang Cuiying quickly explained.
"It's okay, it's normal, I understand. If you have any other questions, you can ask them now."
Why ask? As long as she gets paid, everything else is secondary. She doesn't care whether it's a private or state-owned enterprise. She will work for whoever pays her. There is not much difference.
Lin Fengxia was a straightforward person and agreed directly: "Big sister, I'll do this job. When do you think I can come to work?"
Wei Xuan looked at Wang Cuiying again, and Wang Cuiying nodded: "I'll go with her."
Just be willing to do it.
"Since both sisters-in-law are fine, then come tomorrow. But don't come here. I'll give you an address and you can go directly there." Then Wei Xuan told them the address of the store and Wang Xiaomei's name, and told them to go directly to the store to find Wang Xiaomei tomorrow morning.
After seeing the two off, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Wei Xuan prepared lunch, and Wang Xiaomei came over to eat with yesterday's sales and account books.
"I saw that you didn't come this morning, so I thought that bringing these back would give you some time to settle the bill."
Wei Xuan took the account book and said, "It's just yesterday's account. Why are you in such a hurry? It's the same if you just leave it there and wait for me to look at it."
Wang Xiaomei helped her serve the dishes: "It's just a piece of cake." It's better not to let the accounts pile up; it's clearer to calculate them once a day.
Knowing what she was thinking, Wei Xuan didn't continue talking about it, but instead told her about Lin Fengxia and Wang Guiying.
"Tomorrow, the two of you will go over there. Just teach them how to work in the store. I'm a little busy these two days and may not have time to go over there. You can also help me observe their behavior and see if they are suitable for working in the store."
Wei Xuan didn't say it explicitly, but Wang Xiaomei understood what she meant. She wanted to see if the two of them had clean hands or not. After all, they would be directly in charge of a store in the future, and those who could touch the money couldn't be careless. No matter how clean the accounts were, they could still tamper with them if they wanted to.
For example, eggs, there are always a few bad and broken eggs in a box, if the storekeeper reports a few more losses every day, who can find out? Don't underestimate an egg is only five cents, over time it will be a considerable amount of money.
What's more, there are many things in the store, and eggs are not the only things that can be tampered with.
But compared to all these, what surprised her even more was: Brother Jiang and Sister-in-law Wei Xuan were going to open a new store so soon?
Wang Xiaomei swallowed the food in her mouth silently, feeling lucky that she had made the right choice. What's wrong with a store opened by a self-employed business owner? Self-employed business owners are just as reliable.
Now she only hopes that Brother Jiang and his wife's business will get better and better, and that she, the one who makes their living, can also benefit from it.
After dinner, Wang Xiaomei left. Wei Xuan coaxed the child to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep herself.
So she sat up, leaned against the bed and started to look at the account book. In fact, the accounts were very clear and she could finish reading them in just a few minutes without much effort.
What really worried Wei Xuan was the situation on Jiang Che's side. He said that he went to ask someone about Nie Yuande today, but he didn't know how he was doing.
Alas, I just hope that it was her third sister-in-law who made a mistake!
Unfortunately, things were destined not to develop as she wished.
The first thing Jiang Che did when he got up this morning was to look for Wu Feng, who worked in the same factory as Nie Yuande. Wu Feng used to have a very good relationship with Jiang Che and Jiang Tao, so when he saw Jiang Che asking him for help, he agreed without hesitation.
Jiang Che said, "Brother, this is not a glorious thing. Be careful when you ask about it. Don't let him find out. It will be embarrassing if it gets out."
Wu Feng nodded: "Don't worry, Brother Jiang, I promise to do this for you properly."
"Thanks. Come to my house for dinner when things are settled."
"Okay, I've been thinking about my sister-in-law's cooking skills."
What kind of person is Wu Feng? He is very similar to Jiang Che in the past. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Friends who can play together must have some similarities.
He looked like a sloppy person, but he actually knew what was going on. Jiang Che asked him to help find out if his brother-in-law was having affairs outside, but this kind of thing definitely could not be asked in the factory.
Would a man with a wife and children dare to do bad things in a place he is familiar with, especially when his father-in-law is very powerful?
Unless he had changed his mind, Wu Feng would still go to work during the day. Just before leaving get off work, he would casually walk to the door of Nie Yuande's office, wait for him to get off work, and then follow him out of the factory.
He saw Nie Yuande riding his bike around and around into a small alley, and when he followed him in, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There are a total of three families living in this alley. The first two families are facing each other, and the door of another family is facing the entrance of the alley.
Damn it, Wu Feng cursed in a low voice, which house did this guy go into? We can't let him knock on every door, right?
Just when he was at a loss of what to do, he heard the sound of two children talking in the yard on the left. God must be helping him, as a thief would not steal in front of children. So this family could be ruled out. Now there were only two families left on the right and opposite.
After thinking about it, Wu Feng walked to the door of the house on the right and knocked on the gate.
Soon, an old male voice came from the yard: "Who is it?"
The door creaked open, and Wu Feng made up a name at random: "Excuse me, is this Niu Dazhuang's home?"
"What Niu Dazhuang? There is no such person. You have found the wrong person."
Section 55
Taking this opportunity, Wu Feng saw clearly that there was another strange young man standing under the eaves. It seemed that this was not the house either. Wu Feng quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake."
After the gate was closed again, Wu Feng hurriedly rode his bike to Jiang Che's house.
It was just a coincidence that Jiang Che was stopped by Wu Feng just as he got home from get off work. After hearing Wu Feng's description of the current situation, Jiang Che didn't even bother to go home and turned around to follow him.
Wei Xuan in the yard heard the noise at the door and rushed out. Jiang Che only had time to say, "Don't wait for me for dinner tonight."
Without waiting for Wei Xuan to answer, he stared at the bicycle and ran away.
When Jiang Che and Wu Feng arrived at the entrance of the alley again, less than twenty minutes had passed.
Jiang Che asked him: "Which one?"
Wu Feng pointed it out to him and said, "I wonder if the person has left."
Jiang Che stared at the door with a sinister expression: "It doesn't matter, I'll come back after I leave."
The two men walked to the entrance of the alley and waited on the left and right. About an hour later, they heard some noise in the alley.
The two looked at each other and pricked up their ears to listen to what was being said.
First, a woman's voice said, "Why don't you stay and have dinner before going back? Ride slowly."
Then Nie Yuande's voice came over: "Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow. It's cold outside. Go in. I'm leaving."
Upon hearing this, the two people who were still at the entrance of the alley quickly hid to the side in case Nie Yuande came out and saw them.
Only after they saw him walk away did the two people who had been hiding come out again. Wu Feng saw that Jiang Che had remained silent, so he asked, "Brother Jiang, what should we do next?"
What to do? Jiang Che really hadn't figured out what to do next.
But after seeing Nie Yuande cheating with his own eyes, Jiang Che could be sure that he could no longer have this brother-in-law. He must not let him off as easily as he did last time.
Wu Feng said with some concern: "Brother Jiang, if there is anything I can help you with, just let me know." Don't keep silent, it's creepy.
Jiang Che came back to his senses and smiled at him in gratitude: "You know what, I really need your help with something. Can you help me find out some things about Nie Yuande's work, including his relationship with his colleagues and leaders."
"Okay, I'll go to the factory and ask someone tomorrow."
After Jiang Che separated from Wu Feng and returned home, Wei Xuan immediately went to greet him: "What happened? Did you find anything in such a hurry?"
"I'll tell you later, where's my daughter?"
Wei Xuan pointed to the room and said, "I just gave her a bath and she's covered in it now. Do you want to eat first?"
Hearing this, Jiang Che frowned. "It's so cold, don't let them get cold. Why don't we move to the sixth floor? They'll have centralized heating starting in November, so we don't have to worry about the children getting cold."
Heating was available in this era? Wei Xuan really didn't know. If she had known, she would have moved there long ago.
"How about we move tomorrow?" Wei Xuan asked hesitantly.
Jiang Che thought about it and decided that it was okay. Anyway, he was planning to take a few days off tomorrow to investigate Nie Yuande and his woman. It wouldn't be a big deal to move the family when he had some time.
