Sister-in-law comes for treatment

rule?

Wang Tiezhu frowned. He went to school, then started working, went to work on construction sites, and later became a village doctor.

I have never run a company, nor have I visited these organizations many times.

Having no idea what the rules were, he remained silent for a moment, then coughed and said, "I really don't know what the rules are. Could you please tell me?"

The man glanced at Wang Tiezhu and shook his head slightly: "You're just starting out in business, you don't understand many of the rules."

Don't ask any questions, just take this and get things done. I guarantee you'll succeed.

Wang Tiezhu looked at the note in his hand, hesitating. He understood what it meant: the shopkeeper would collect the money, and the cleaner would collect the note.

But he was curious and wanted to find out what was going on. After a moment of silence, he said, "I bought a pack of cigarettes for thirty yuan, and you only gave me a note. What if that lady doesn't acknowledge it? Wouldn't my thirty yuan be wasted?"

The man held out his hand: "Then give me thirty yuan."

what?

Wang Tiezhu frowned: "What do you mean?"

The man laughed and said, "If you want to get things done, it's not just about spending thirty yuan; there's a lot more to it. If you can't even bear to spend this thirty yuan, you should go back. You're not capable of anything great."

Wang Tiezhu said with a hint of helplessness, "I understand."

Knowing he wouldn't get any information, he took the note and turned to leave.

As the man watched Wang Tiezhu leave, he couldn't help but curse, "You country bumpkin, this is only thirty yuan, a test of your obedience. Thirty yuan is just the beginning."

Wang Tiezhu returned to the lobby with the note and saw the cleaning lady. He handed her the note, saying, "I bought cigarettes and they gave me this."

The woman glanced at the note but didn't reach out: "The person you're looking for is called Su Chen. He's very busy; he's probably out on a field assignment."

Wang Tiezhu frowned, still holding the note in his hand: "I want to register the company now, is there any way to do that?"

The woman glanced at the note and smiled, saying, "There's a phone number on the back of the note. Call that number."

Wang Tiezhu flipped the slip of paper in his hand and, sure enough, saw a phone number: "Whose phone number is this?"

The woman shook her head: "That's a taxi driver's phone number. Call him, and he'll take you there."

Wang Tiezhu thought for a moment and said, "If I wait here, when will that staff member return?"

The woman laughed: "They're very busy; they usually only come to work on Mondays."

Monday?

Wang Tiezhu considered the situation in his mind. Today is Wednesday, and next Monday is Monday. There are still four days left.

I called a Didi (ride-hailing service), but I didn't know where to go or where my office was located.

He had a bad feeling.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke up: "Then let's wait until Monday."

The woman shook her head slightly and continued sweeping the floor with the broom.

Wang Tiezhu walked out of the hall and met Shen Sanshi: "Let's go, he's not here today."

Shen Sanshi was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you just buy cigarettes?"

Didn't you find out anything about that person?

Wang Tiezhu said helplessly, "I know the person who audited the company is surnamed Li and named Li Yan, but he's not at the company, so there's nothing I can do."

Shen Sanshi was even more puzzled: "During working hours, if he's not at work, where did he go?"

Wang Tiezhu said with a wry smile, "They said they were going out to do some work, but who knows what they were doing? Let's go, we'll come back on Monday."

As he walked out the gate, he saw the small shop and hesitated whether to go over and ask for his thirty yuan back.

The main reason was that I felt it was unfair to be given thirty yuan, as I didn't get any information from them.

After hesitating for a moment, I left anyway.

Four days later.

Monday morning, the gate was locked.

A car was parked at the entrance, and Wang Tiezhu sat in the passenger seat, staring at the gate.

At 7:45, someone opened the gate, and people went to work one after another.

Wang Tiezhu got out of the van and walked towards the gate. Just as he reached the gate, the gatekeeper called out, "Hey, who are you looking for?"

Wang Tiezhu saw the old man guarding the gate and said with a smile, "I'm looking for Li Yan to apply for a company license."

The old man waved his hand: "I haven't started work yet. You can wait outside. You can only enter the gate after eight o'clock."

Wang Tiezhu thought it made sense, said thank you, and stepped back to the door.

We got back into the car.

Shen Sanshi was scrolling through videos on his phone in the passenger seat when he saw Wang Tiezhu return. He looked up from his phone, then asked Wang Tiezhu, "Why are you back?"

Wang Tiezhu said helplessly, "They start work at half past the hour."

Shen Sanshi's gaze returned to his phone, and he continued scrolling through it.

Wang Tiezhu took out his phone, looked at the time on the screen, and waited until eight o'clock. He got out of the car and walked towards the gate, and this time the gatekeeper did not stop him.

Upon entering the lobby again, he saw groups of staff sitting at their workstations. He found Li Yan's workstation, but discovered that apart from a cup of tea, there was no one there.

He turned to ask his colleague next door and learned that Li Yan had gone to a meeting.

He just had to sit at the counter and wait while the staff in the lobby chatted about everyday things: what groceries they bought, where they traveled, what clothes had arrived, which chefs were good, when the price of gold would rise, and when it was time to buy...

This was Wang Tiezhu's first time in a place like this. He had never seen such a chat atmosphere before, nor had he ever seen chat content that was all about making money.

It felt completely different from the gossip and idle chatter in my own village.

One has to admire how incredibly wealthy they are.

Especially the food: buffets costing over 400 yuan per person, millet stewed sea cucumber costing 230 yuan a bowl, yak meat from Qinghai, blue lobster costing 700 yuan...

Wang Tiezhu felt he had forgotten many things, and it wasn't until they left one by one that he realized it was already 10:30. Seeing the last employee about to leave, he quickly went up to him and asked, "Excuse me, when will the meeting adjourn, Li Yan?"

The man glanced at Wang Tiezhu and said, "The morning meeting only lasted half an hour, it's already over."

what?

Wang Tiezhu was somewhat incredulous: "But I haven't seen him at all!"

The man pointed outside: "They've probably gone out on fieldwork after the meeting. You don't need to wait. Come back tomorrow."

He finished speaking and quickly left.

Wang Tiezhu was dumbfounded. He hadn't seen anyone at all. How could they have left?

Do we really have to wait until tomorrow?

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw the cleaning lady walking over, seemingly about to speak, so he stopped.

The cleaning lady stopped in front of Wang Tiezhu and asked, "Have you waited for the person you're waiting for?"

Wang Tiezhu shook his head and complained, "The meeting ended at 8:30, and they didn't even come to their posts. And it's only 10:30 now, and they've all left. I wonder what they've been doing."

The cleaning lady smiled and said, "Everyone has gone home to cook."

Wang Tiezhu frowned and asked, "What time do they start work in the afternoon?"

The cleaner smiled and said, "Their work for today is finished."

Wang Tiezhu was somewhat indignant: "Don't they work in the afternoon?"

Aren't they afraid that someone might not be able to get things done and report them?

The cleaning lady looked at Wang Tiezhu as if he were an idiot: "You... what are you reporting? They were just on fieldwork, investigating merchants. What are you reporting?"

……

Wang Tiezhu was speechless for a moment, only then realizing that the other party had already prepared an excuse. However, he was in a hurry to set up Baxi Company and could not keep delaying like this. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How can I see Li Yan?"

The cleaning lady smiled and said, "Go buy me another pack of cigarettes."
