A foreign city, dear you

"It's okay, our reception is the same."

"No, we need to open a note with him." Cao Xueqian said

"What note?" the female salesperson asked strangely.

"Twenty thousand is worth thirty thousand notes." Ye Lian added.

"What's twenty thousand worth thirty thousand?" The female salesperson looked confused.

Is this female salesperson new here? Why don't you know anything?

Cao Xueqian then told her everything:

"Last Sunday night, Zhu Jintao called me and told me that the company had a new promotion - pay a deposit of [-] in advance to get [-] in cash. We had already paid [-], and he asked us to pay [-] to enjoy the event. Welfare.

"So we paid him another [-] yuan that night. He took our money, issued a receipt to us, and asked us to ask him to write a note for [-] yuan to [-] yuan when we paid the balance today."

Ye Lian also agreed and took out the receipt to show the female salesperson.

Unexpectedly, the female salesperson was stunned for a moment and said, "We don't have this event!"

"Isn't it?" It was Cao Xueqian and Ye Lian's turn to be stunned.

Cao Xueqian didn't believe it and took out his mobile phone to call Zhu Jintao, but the voice from the mobile phone was: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off."

Things are not looking good! It seems that there is really no such thing as "[-] is worth [-]".

If this is the case, then the money they bring will not be enough.

What a joy.

Forget it, if you can't pay it off, you can't pay it off. Let's pay the money first. We'll see if we can negotiate for the remaining [-] yuan.

The female salesperson led them up to the second floor

There are two men sitting at the table next to the finance office on the second floor. One of them is wearing a white shirt, is slightly fat, and looks a bit like a big boss or executive.

"We'll pay the balance," Ye Lian told the finance manager.

"Give me your receipt." The finance officer said calmly.

Ye Lian gave her both receipts.

The treasurer looked at the two receipts and compared them with the account book in her hand. Suspicion gradually appeared on her face: "Why do you have two receipts? Did you pay twice?"

"Yes."

"Did you pay them all here?"

"No, I gave it to Zhu Jintao once." Ye Lian said truthfully. As for which receipt Zhu Jintao gave them, she couldn't tell.

"Did you pay Zhu Jintao? But he didn't give the money to me." The finance manager looked surprised.

"Then we don't know. Anyway, we paid the money. You can ask him." Ye Lian was not very worried at this time.

"Ask him? Where can I ask him? Everyone is gone." The finance officer sneered.

People are missing? Why is it missing?

What to do? The ten thousand yuan we paid was wasted?

Ye Lian began to worry.

At this time, the man in the white shirt looked over: "Are you Zhu Jintao's receptionist for house buyers?"

"Yes?" Ye Lian nodded.

"Why did you give the money to him privately?"

"He asked us to give it to him..." Ye Lian repeated what Cao Xueqian just said below.

After Ye Lian finished speaking, the man in the white shirt motioned for them to sit down.

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian went over to the table and sat down.

The man in the white shirt asked Cao Xueqian his name, and then handed Cao Xueqian a business card. It turned out that the man in the white shirt was surnamed Chen and was the manager of the sales department of Xiya Garden.

"Zhu Jintao has disappeared out of thin air for a few days, and we can't contact him. If you also paid him [-] yuan, then he left with [-] to [-] yuan." Manager Chen looked at Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian .

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian looked stunned. Zhu Jintao took their money and ran away?

"Are you fellow villagers?" asked the man next to Manager Chen.

"That's right, they are all from Hunan." Ye Lian replied.

"We suspect that you are colluding to defraud money." Unexpectedly, the man said something bad.

When Ye Lian heard this, she became anxious.

But Ye Lian is dull by nature, and although she is anxious, she doesn't know how to explain herself.

Cao Xueqian gave up after hearing this. He exploded like a lit firecracker. He stood up from his chair and blurted out: "Who are you? How do you talk? I still doubt it's you." The developers are trying to steal our money!

"Why did we defraud you of your money? Run away? Then why did I bring the money here? Did I throw myself into a trap? I bought the house to live in, why did I do such a terrible thing?! I have Sick?

"Isn't Zhu Jintao an employee of your company? Doesn't this receipt have your company's financial seal?

……

"If you want to say this, I haven't bought this house yet, so please return the [-] yuan to me!"

Cao Xueqian fired one sentence after another like a barrage of cannons, knocking the man speechless.

"Calm down, calm down," Manager Chen stood up and patted Cao Xueqian on the shoulder: "He was also quick-talking and said the wrong thing. We are not doubting you. I believe you are not such a person."

Hearing this, Ye Lian felt relieved a little.

Cao Xueqian also softened his tone: "What should we do now? Do you still pay the money? If not, return the [-] yuan to us."

Alas, I never thought something like this would happen. It seems like I can’t buy this house.

Ye Lian was so depressed.

Manager Chen thought for a while and said: "In this way, you pay the balance. As for Zhu Jintao, we will first find a way to get in touch with him and give him a chance to return the money to the company.

"As long as he returns the money, we will not hold him accountable. But if we really can't contact him, or he really refuses to return it, then we will call the police."

After Manager Chen finished speaking, he explained to the finance department.

Cao Xueqian first paid [-] yuan in cash, and then went to a nearby bank to transfer [-] yuan. As for the remaining [-] yuan, Manager Chen said that due to the special situation, they could be postponed for another week.

Before leaving, Manager Chen stopped Cao Xueqian: "Xiao Cao, you and Zhu Jintao are fellow villagers. If he contacts you, please persuade him to return the money. You are still young, so it is easy to turn back."

Cao Xueqian nodded and agreed: "I will definitely do this."

Cao Xueqian was also angry and wanted to find Zhu Jintao and scold him.
