Reborn before her mother committed suicide, the heroine went crazy

The security guard was not very old, probably in his fifties. He greeted everyone with a smile and seemed very kind.

Wan An Ning also discovered that in addition to the guard room which he cleaned spotlessly, the inside and outside of the gate were also very clean. Not only was there no leaf garbage, but it was dry at this time as it was not snowing, and the ground was not hardened like in later generations. When he swept the floor, it was all dirt. He also thoughtfully sprinkled water on the dusty places.

When Wan An Ning and Su Ruyi went to the guard room to borrow a table, he asked about their purpose and immediately agreed to lend them the table. He also kindly told them that they could set up a stall at the gate.

From this point of view, he is also a warm-hearted person. Moreover, the fact that he always has paper and pen ready also shows that he is a cultured person.

Such a person would not lower himself to beg for help unless he was forced into no other choice.

When the security guard saw Wan An Ning asking, he smiled bitterly and said, "Did you figure it out?"

Wan An Ning nodded: "I just saw that the old man looked worried, so I thought if I could help, I would lend a hand."

The security guard was silent for a while, and finally made up his mind: "To be honest, I used to be the director of this national cotton mill..."

Just one sentence left Wan An Ning stunned.

The director of the National Cotton Mill!

The old man in the guard room?

The difference between these two identities was quite big, which made Wan An Ning unsure whether he should believe him or not.

She widened her eyes, then her eyes flickered, she glanced at the security guard secretly, and then glanced again...

The security guard saw her curiosity, but did not get angry. He still looked calm, as if waiting for Wan An Ning to digest what he had just said.

Wan An Ning calmed down and asked carefully: "Then how could you..."

She hesitated to speak, not knowing how to ask.

The security guard took a deep breath and said slowly: "Because of an accident..."

At this point, the security guard paused, as if recalling something painful, with a somewhat sad expression: "... three people died in that accident!

Three lives died right under my nose. I felt I had no face to continue being the factory director, so I asked to be demoted and came here to guard the gate. This is the last role that an old man like me can play for this factory."

Wan An Ning felt a sense of regret.

But at the same time, she also admired the security guard's sense of responsibility and commitment.

The security guard patted Wan An Ning on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But I think there is nothing wrong with being a gatekeeper. It gives me more time to think..."

I have to say, this security guard is really optimistic!

Wan An Ning took a deep breath, and felt that something that could embarrass the security guard must not be a simple matter...

"Uncle, are you having any trouble now?"

Hearing Wan An Ning's question, the security guard sighed.

"To be honest, ever since three employees of the factory died in that accident, I have been taking care of their families and also arranged for their relatives to work in the factory..."

Wan An Ning nodded. At this time, in large state-owned factories like the National Cotton Mill, there are limited job opportunities, and children basically take over their parents' jobs. So it is reasonable to arrange for a family member of a deceased employee to work in the factory.

"The relatives of two of them were hired directly, but the other family sold the opportunity to work in the factory because they didn't have a suitable candidate at home... Of course, this is not in compliance with the regulations, but the subordinates all did this, and I was no longer the factory director, so I turned a blind eye to it and let them sell the opportunity to work in the factory..."

Wan An Ning frowned: "Could it be that the family who sold the opportunity to enter the factory regrets it now?"

If you regret it and want to work in a factory, it would not be a good choice.

After all, the state-owned cotton mill is now having difficulty paying wages, and it will completely collapse in a few years, and the employees in the factory will have to be laid off and find other jobs.

It would be really stupid for that family to choose to take back the job they sold at this time.

The security guard shook his head and said, "No, that family has returned to their hometown and has no intention of coming back. However, before they left, they gave me a house they had bought and asked me to help sell it.

I definitely wanted to help with this, so I agreed right away. However, the house was a bit remote, and after so many years, I still hadn't found a buyer, so I had no choice but to tell them that the house had been rented out, and I would take out part of my salary on time and send it to them as rent...

A few days ago, they wrote to me saying that their family was in great difficulty and asked me to find a way to sell the house..."

The security guard smiled bitterly when he said this: "Of course, I'm not telling you this to buy this house. I'm just thinking that you guys are running around buying and selling things. If you meet someone who wants to buy a house, could you please recommend one to me?"

Wan An Ning felt her heart pounding, thinking about how she made a lot of money from the last house. Could it be that this opportunity has come again?

She suppressed her excitement and nodded, "Uncle, don't worry, if you meet someone who wants to buy a house, I will definitely recommend it to you."

The security guard thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much, little girl."

"Uncle, you are too polite." Wan An Ning smiled, "But can you tell me the specific details of the house? The location, area, layout, etc...."

The security guard introduced the situation of the house in detail. Wan An Ning listened carefully and already had some ideas in his mind.

"Uncle, can you take me to see the house in person?"

The security guard thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if you have time, I'll find someone to help me for a while, and we'll go over now."

Wan An Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll go tell my cousin and the others, and we'll be there soon."

The security guard went to the family compound and found an old man about his age to help him watch the door. Feng Qianyang and the other two had already loaded the car and came over to call her over.

"Brother Qianyang, I just happen to have something to do and I'd like to trouble you to come with me."

Wan An Ning said, and went to Su Ruyi again: "You and Ma Erqiang send these goods back to the hotel together. Brother Qianyang and I have something to do. We will meet you at the hotel later. If we are not back to the hotel by the time, you can come here again. We will pick up another batch of goods after get off work in the afternoon!"

Su Ruyi agreed, and she and Ma Erqiang left the staff quarters of the National Cotton Mill on a donkey.

Wan An Ning asked Su Ruyi and Ma Erqiang to go back to the hotel first, and he and Feng Qianyang went to look at the house with the security guard...
