Chapter 12 A near miss
"Girl, call the police." the fat man shouted.
The man was unwilling, "Why call the police? It's not me."
"It's either you or someone else. I saw it all." the fat man shouted.
The man with shifty eyes shouted, "I don't have a knife, how could I cut open her bag?"
"It's a liar."
"If you don't believe me, let me go and look for you."
Although the fat man looks rough, he is very careful. He sneered and said, "I've seen your tricks many times. Now that you've met me today, don't even think about leaving."
Cui Chengze stepped forward and grabbed the man and was about to attack him, but Cui Changjia quickly stopped him and whispered, "My money is not lost."
Cui Chengze's strength suddenly disappeared and he almost collapsed. This was the money they had worked so hard to get back. If it was stolen, he would probably go crazy!
When Cui Changjia called Cui Xiuyuan, Cui Xiuyuan told her to keep an eye on the money. There happened to be an ATM across the street, so she deposited the money there after hanging up the phone, leaving 5,000 yuan as a backup. After all, it was unsafe to have so much cash in the way of people. She didn't expect that someone would really target her. She didn't know whether her money was stolen because she was really unlucky or someone did it on purpose.
Fatty Tao Lei insisted on calling the police.
"Brother Lei," Cui Changjia said, "Forget it, this is someone else's territory."
Cui Changjia called him "Brother Lei" sincerely. Although the fat man looked rough, his character was impeccable. But now she just wanted to move the furniture back smoothly and didn't want to cause any trouble.
Fatty Tao Lei spat, let go of the thief, and stomped on him, "You think I'm just wasting my time in the army? Get lost!"
The thief ran away quickly, unaware that everything that happened here was seen by He Liangcai on the second floor. His eyes were full of sinisterness. That stupid brother and sister really got away with it today!
It gradually got dark, the street lights came on, and the furniture was put away.
Cui Changjia paid the workers wages, bought two bags of buns from the bun shop, and a bag of drinks, distributed them to the driver and the escort, and then got into the fat man's car with Cui Chengze.
"Brother Lei, thank you so much for today." Cui Changjia handed a pack of cigarettes he bought from the grocery store to the fat man, "Please take care of me along the way. Please tell the driver to drive slower. You've worked hard."
"Oh, no need to worry, don't worry, I've told you everything," the fat man said as he took the cigarette. He was very happy that Cui Changjia was so good at dealing with people, and said enthusiastically, "Thank you, sister. Take a rest. We'll be in the state capital soon. How's it going? Have you figured out where to unload it?"
"I'll make a phone call and ask." Cui Changjia said as he took a bite of a bun and called Cui Xiuyuan. "Brother, we have already loaded the car and are heading back now. Have you found the place?"
"I asked several warehouses, but they are all full. Changjia, wait for my call." Cui Xiuyuan said in a slightly heavy tone, "There is a vacant lot on the east side of Heping Road. If you can't make it, park your car there today. Put the furniture on the car first, and we'll pay for the transportation fee."
"Brother, is their warehouse really full, or is it because our Cui family is unwilling to rent it to us?"
After the furniture store fire, all kinds of rumors spread all over the city. Everyone said that the fire in Cui's house was caused by something strange. It was just a cigarette butt, how could it be burned up so quickly? The most outrageous rumor was that the location of the furniture store was not good. In ancient times, it was used as a place of execution. If such a high building was built, the people below would not be happy.
It's normal not to want to have anything to do with the Cui family at this time.
Cui Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and said, "No, I'll call and ask again."
Cui Changjia comforted Cui Xiuyuan, "It's okay, brother. I've already talked to them. It will be fine if we keep it until tomorrow. Don't worry, just take your time to look for it."
"Jia Jia, thank you for your hard work."
"What are you talking about? Isn't this what I should do? Call me back when you have news."
After hanging up the phone, Tao Lei turned around and asked Cui Changjia curiously, "Sister, what are you doing with all these furniture?"
"I used it to pay off the debt. Brother Lei, you guys are often involved in transportation, do you know where there are warehouses for rent?"
"I thought, it's impossible to buy so much furniture. You're looking for a warehouse, right? Wait, I'll ask for you." Cui Changjia perked up when he heard it. "Thank you, Brother Lei!"
Tao Lei said, "I don't have the nerve to do that. I have to call my boss and ask him to help me ask. I can only ask for you."
"Brother Lei, thank you for your help."
"Okay, don't be polite. Sister, I just saw that you are honest, so I asked for you."
The fat man took out his cell phone and dialed the number. After a while, the number was connected. He said, "Boss, well, this girl has no place to put her furniture. Can you help find a warehouse?"
Because it was an external speaker, I could hear everything the man on the other end said.
"You are free, where can I find a warehouse?"
Cui Changjia could tell that this man was the one who arranged the car quote for her.
"Oh, Boss, I think the girl is quite honest."
The other party said nonchalantly, "You see, every girl is real."
Even Cui Changjia wanted to laugh when he heard this.
"Hey, boss," the fat man quickly turned off the speaker, covered the receiver, and said something in a gibberish, then hummed a few words, and then the fat man said, "Okay, I'll wait for your letter."
After hanging up the phone, the fat man didn't look back.
Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze looked at each other, their eyes were very complicated, and then they felt like the days were long...
In fact, only three or four minutes later, the boss that Tao Lei mentioned called back. Fatty picked up the phone, said a few words, and then quickly turned back to ask Cui Changjia, "The minimum rent for the warehouse is 300 square meters, and the shortest is three months. For 300 square meters, it's 500 yuan a month."
"Is it dry?" Cui Changjia asked hurriedly.
"Is it dry?" the fat man asked the boss on the other end of the phone. The fat man quickly passed the message to Cui Changjia, "It's dry. The warehouse has been waterproofed. If it's not dry enough, you can put pallets underneath. The pallets cost extra. Don't worry about the safety. They specialize in renting out warehouses."
"Okay, Brother Lei, please help me decide."
Fatty turned around and told the boss, then hung up the phone. Cui Changjia thanked Fatty again, and Fatty said, "The warehouse rental guy is familiar with our boss, but I don't know him, otherwise I would have found one for you. But it will be night when we return, and the warehouse won't accept the call. The earliest is tomorrow at eight o'clock. If you're worried, you can stay with the car tonight."
"How could I not be relieved? Thank you so much, Brother Lei."
"Don't be polite. If you have any work next time, just give us a call and we can find a car for you no matter where you are."
"Hey."
The warehouse was ready, and Cui Changjia quickly reported to Cui Xiuyuan, asking him not to worry.
Cui Xiuyuan asked Cui Changjia and the others to slow down, and sighed after hanging up the phone. When his family was in the most difficult time and needed him the most, he could do nothing!
"Le Le!" Cui Xiuyuan suddenly shouted loudly.
