Cheng Ergongzi

Shi Fan paced into the office.

I looked up and said, "The bank has already approved the loan."

He nodded, "Just approve it."

Looking around for a while, he said, "Where's Wenyu? I haven't seen him for the past few days."

I said, "He is not feeling well, so he asked for leave."

"Oh?" Shi Fan was curious, "Wen Yu rarely gets sick."

He is not sick.

He was forced to sign a death contract, and he was in so much pain that he licked his wounds at home.

I said, "I'll take a look after get off work."

Xiao Wenyu's residence is not far from the company, within walking distance.

This is a newly completed high-rise apartment, and you need to swipe the key card to enter.

I pressed the floor call button, and after a while, a voice came from the other end, dying: "Who?"

I held back my laughter and said, "It's me."

The glass door opened slowly in front of my eyes, I walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the top floor.

The elevator arrived with a "ding", and as soon as the door opened, there was a pale man standing in front of him.

I raised my eyebrows, "Aiqing, I didn't expect you to be so seriously ill."

Xiao Wenyu dragged me into the room and closed the door.

The floors were clean and appeared to have been waxed, and the room ended with tall picture windows.The scenery is excellent, you can see the lake and forest in the distance.

There are a bunch of packages piled up on the carpet in the living room, some are made of paper and some are made of wood, which doesn't match the clean and tidy home environment.

I said, "What's going on?"

He pulled me to sit down on the carpet, with a dejected expression, "That man came to my house last night and asked me to pour out all the wine, and I refused to do so."

I looked around, "Are these wines from your collection?"

He nodded, "I protected it with all my might."

Picking up a small wooden box next to his hand, he removed the upper wooden board to reveal a delicate wine bottle, which reflected a slight red light under the light.

"I bought this from a winery in Burgundy, France." Looking at it for a moment, he picked up another slender bottle, "This is ice wine from the Okanagan Valley in Canada. It was just flown back to China a few months ago. I didn't have time to taste it."

He holds wine bottles full of treasures, as well as the decanters he has collected over the years, which is quite pitiful.

I said: "If it's not possible, you can give it away."

Xiao Wenyu's expression was gloomy: "How can you give up."

After a pause, "Then he gave me three days to lock all the wine in the cabinet and give him the key for safekeeping."

I couldn't help sighing: "It's not easy."

Xiao Wenyu's eyes were red, and he looked straight, "Who do you think I am for!"

I hastened, "I'll arrange to raise your salary immediately."

He raised his decibel instantly, "What do I want is money?"

"What's the point of raising your salary now!"

"Where is the extra money spent?"

It was deafening, and I couldn't answer for a while.

Raising his wrist to see if it was too early, he said, "Why don't we go have dinner together."

Xiao Wenyu lost his eyesight, "Don't eat."

I frowned: "Don't tell me you haven't eaten since last night."

He was in a trance, "I can't eat."

I ignored him, forced him to put on a coat, dragged him out the door, and stuffed him into the elevator.

He found a restaurant nearby, and dragged Xiao Wenyu in to sit down.

The waiter looked over with strange eyes, probably wondering why this person was wearing slippers under his feet because his wool coat was expensive.

I glanced at the menu and made a quick decision: Chicken Wings with Egg Yolk, Boiled Shrimp, Boy Chicken with Scallion Oil, Osmanthus Sorbet.

Immediately, the dishes were served one by one.

I smiled and said, "Look at this table, there are red, orange, light yellow, emerald green, white jade, and osmanthus petals. They are so beautiful."

Xiao Wenyu picked up a shrimp with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing, "it's really crunchy and smooth."

I picked up a chicken wing with egg yolk, the chicken wing was coated with egg liquid, rolled in flour, fried in oil, and topped with red oil egg yolk dug out of salted duck eggs. The attractive fat hangs on the crispy skin, like amber, Glittering under the lights.

I put it in my mouth, closed my eyes and tasted it carefully, and couldn't help sighing for a long time: "The meat is still delicious."

Xiao Wenyu smiled when he heard the words, and his expression eased, "I heard that the marketing department is investigating the warehouse theft recently, how is the progress?"

I said: "I have no clue. I adjusted the surveillance video of the warehouse and found nothing abnormal. The alarm system was also operating normally, but there was no alarm sound that night."

"I heard that you suspected the doorman on duty at the warehouse that night?"

I nodded, "There was a problem in the warehouse under his supervision, but he didn't notice it. Who did he suspect?"

"Oh?" Xiao Wenyu raised his head, quite interested, "What evidence do you have?"

I put a piece of scallion chicken in the entrance, "The master is in his forties and has guarded the warehouse for many years without any problems. There are many warehouses in that area, and other guards and freight drivers know him."

Xiao Wenyu touched his chin, "That's it."

"The only thing that people care about is that there is a long-term sick child in the master's family, who spends huge medical expenses every year. Both husband and wife have to go to work to earn money, and the grandparents are taking care of the child. We sent someone to see it. , the two old people can't ask anything when they are old."

Xiao Wenyu said: "If it's to treat a child, it's unknown if you took a risk."

I said: "The child's mother works the day shift in the supermarket, and the father works the night shift in the warehouse, just to take care of the child. Neither we nor the police have any evidence, so it's unreasonable to suspect people like this."

He thought for a while, "Have you investigated the gray market, are there any lost models circulating in it recently?"

I shook my head, "The marketing department and legal affairs went to investigate, but there was no clue."

He took a bite of the sorbet, "This is going to be difficult."

I shrugged helplessly, "Cheng's did suffer a loss in the warehouse accident, but after all, it was only a few pieces of hardware lost, which is nothing compared to Cheng's average daily shipments. This commotion is so big and costly." Human and financial resources must also be considered whether it is worth it.”

Xiao Wenyu nodded slightly, "If the hope of recovery is slim, it is really not worthwhile to invest more energy in the investigation. After all, for Cheng, the most important thing is customers and orders, and it is market share."

During the conversation, a waiter came over, routinely asked: "Do you two need anything to drink?"

I said, "A cup of hot pudding milk tea."

The waiter turned to Xiao Wenyu again: "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Xiao Wenyu was startled when he heard the words, "I want to drink..."

In the middle of the sentence, sad things suddenly aroused, and I almost couldn't hold it back, and I was about to shed two lines of tears.
