Confessions of a Salesman

Having said this, Yaozu hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Old Ancestor, I really don't mean anything else, Grandpa Yue has always acted fairly, we all know it, it's because I didn't think carefully about this matter, you can do whatever you want? "

The old ancestor's frowning face finally had a little smile and said: "You are all good children, filial, obedient, I like you from the bottom of my heart, if you want me to say, go to the crematorium and set up a mourning hall, the same The scenery is beautiful, it’s the same everywhere, if people die and the lights go out, maybe it will be my turn tomorrow!”

Everyone hastily persuaded: "The ancestor must live a long life!"

The old ancestor waved his hand and said, "I know my own affairs, and I've reached this age, what else can I not think about? Let's see, can this be done?"

Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement!

I didn't know which tendon was twitching again, so I raised my phone and said, "I just checked, and it seems that private funeral halls are allowed under the policy, just to report to the police! But burning paper is definitely not allowed!"

All of a sudden the air became quiet, and the situation that was finally under control was broken by a word from me. Lao Yue looked at me with a livid face and asked, "Are you sure?"

I nodded and said, "I wasn't sure at first, I checked it on my phone just now, but it's not that different places have different policies, so I don't know!"

The old ancestor frowned and asked, "Who are you? How did you get in the ancestral hall of our village? You talk nonsense!"

Lao Yuetou hurriedly explained: "Old ancestor, he is a new resident who has bought a house from Damei's family. I thought he lived in the same village, so I called him over!"

I thought that my ancestors would drive me away immediately, and I was about to stand up and go out. I was indeed looking for trouble for myself. Everyone agreed, and I came to add trouble to them. Who knew that my ancestors nodded acquiescingly, "Are you sure you can?" he asked me.

I hummed and said, "Anyway, it says yes!"

The old ancestor looked at Lao Yuetou, and Lao Yuetou hurriedly took out the notice and handed it to the old ancestor, explaining: "Look, I applied early in the morning, and the notice issued to me prohibits this, I didn't make up of!"

The old ancestor didn't pick it up, so he asked Lao Yuetou to show me the notice, I took it over and looked at it and said: "The chapters run by the street here, do they have the right?"

Lao Yuetou nodded and said, "They represent the government!"

I sighed and said, "They really can't represent the government. I think this matter is worthy of further study!"

The old ancestor answered, "What's your name?"

I replied: "Fade Chen, you can just call me A Fei!"

The old ancestor snorted and said: "Then Ah Fei will trouble you, go run and see, what's going on?"

I hesitated for a moment and said: "Old Ancestor, I actually agree with your decision just now, but I couldn't hold back for a while, and said some things, you don't have to care about it, I don't think this brother is against your decision, how about Do as you wish?"

Yaozu hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, old ancestor, we have no objection, we can do as you wish!"

The old ancestor shook his head and said, "Even if we do it according to my wishes, we still have to figure things out, don't we? Ah Feizi, do you find it troublesome? Then I'll find someone else to do it!"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no, I'll go and ask, what's going on?"

The ancestor nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you!"

Taking such a job for myself for no reason, I really wanted to slap myself a few times, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

The sub-district office is on the opposite street not far from the market. I didn't expect this sub-district office to be so grand. It is a small two-story western-style building with a facade as big as a supermarket gate.

Push the door open and go in, the inside is indeed empty, no one is doing business, there is no one behind the counter, walking inside, a middle-aged woman who is running away, stopped me and said, "Who are you looking for?"

I hurriedly stopped and said, "Ah, I'm a villager from the flower market. I have something to ask!"

The woman glanced at me and said, "It's off work, come over tomorrow!"

I looked at my watch and asked inexplicably, "I get off work at 10:[-]? Even if I get off work, I can come over in the afternoon. Why do I have to wait until tomorrow?"

The woman curled her lips and said, "Why do you have so many questions? I said tomorrow will be tomorrow!"

I was a little unhappy, but I still said patiently: "I just have a small question, just ask!"

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "I told you, after get off work, I have to ask any questions tomorrow!"

Now I couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at her: "Then what are you doing this afternoon?"

The woman said contemptuously: "What are you doing? It's up to you? What are you doing?"

Unconvinced, I said: "I am a resident under the jurisdiction of your sub-district office. I have come to you to solve the problem. Can I ask you? What is your attitude? You are also a civil servant in the system, right? This is how you treat the people. ah?"

The woman said disdainfully: "What kind of people are you? Don't put a high hat on me. My attitude is already very polite. Please go out first. This is our internal office. It is not for you to come in. If you want to To do business, go to the lobby outside and wait for a number!"

I frowned and said, "Is there anyone working outside? It's only 10:[-], and there is no one here. Do you think I want to come in? Tell me first, what is your job number?"

The woman looked at me and took out her mobile phone. It seemed that she was serious, so she softened her tone and said, "Comrade, why are you so serious? It's not that I won't do it for you, it's because there is no one else. The personnel are all away busy, so I said that they are all off work, I may not express it very clearly, what I mean is that they are all out to do errands, and to do errands will have to wait until tomorrow!"

I was still dissatisfied and said, "Don't you leave anyone behind when you go out to do errands? If you want to do errands, you all go out to do errands?"

The woman said impatiently: "You comrade, our street office manages 6 districts, 14 streets, plus a gymnasium and a flower and bird market. Usually, there are a lot of things, and the staffing is insufficient. It is not normal to often work outside. ?"

I curled my lips and said: "If you said that at the beginning, I might believe it, but now I really don't believe it! I'm going to have a fight with you today, and I want to see if they all go out to work ?”

The woman snorted and said, "Don't mess around here! If you do this again, I'll call security!"

I snorted and said, "Security? Where is it? Is this a bank, or a government office hall? And security? Who are you guarding against? We ordinary people?"

The woman snorted coldly: "I just leave you lawless people who intentionally make trouble!"

I said angrily: "I made trouble on purpose? Why did I make trouble on purpose? I came to handle the matter, you said that everyone was off work, and then changed it and said that everyone went out to work, and I said I was waiting here, what's the problem? You Are you going to call the security guard? Why are you calling the security guard? Are you driving me out? What is the reason? Why?”

The woman saw that she couldn't stand me, so she ignored me and walked out by herself, but I ignored her and wanted to go inside, so she turned her head and yelled at me: "You can't go in!" clothing.

My shirt was ripped from my waist, I waved off her hand, and she slapped me back.

After the slap in the face, she and I were stunned at the same time. I resisted the urge to kick over, and at the same time warned the devil in my head not to mess around. This is a government agency, but I looked into her eyes , as if to kill her.

She also panicked and said at a loss: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it!"

Seeing her nervousness, I was relieved instead, and then said: "You are unreasonable first, and then you do it, isn't it too much?"

She kept saying sorry, but she still sent me out, as if she didn't want me to cause trouble here, and she was afraid that someone would be alarmed.

This time I didn't resist, and walked out of the hall with her, and she said loudly: "I... Let me tell you the truth, I'm still in the internship period, and I can become a regular in two months! If you make such a fuss If I go down, my job will be gone! I'm just a temporary worker who does cleaning and serving tea and water. I said they are all off work, which is true! They asked me to watch them outside, and if anyone came, I would send them away , I happened to have something to do at home, so I thought it was already 10:[-], and no one would come over to handle errands, but you came, and I wanted to send you home as soon as possible!"

I asked inexplicably; "Do you usually treat the people who come to do business like this?"

She shook her head hastily and said, "No, no, it's just that I have a temporary business today! I know it's wrong for me to hit someone, so let me treat you to dinner as compensation, right?"

I shook my head and said, "Isn't this necessary?"

But she insisted: "Yes, yes, I will apologize to you. It's my fault. Come, follow me, let's go eat!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of my objection, he dragged me into a small Sichuan restaurant nearby. Unless it is a big city in Guangdong, it would be difficult to see such a small Sichuan restaurant. It’s not that Cantonese people don’t like it. Sichuan cuisine, it is too spicy, it is uncomfortable to get angry after eating!

Since it happened to be lunch, the restaurant was not big, but it was full of people. She seemed to know the boss very well, and after shouting twice, she arranged for the two of us to a corner. The location was very good, and no one would bother us.

The dishes are all spoken casually without looking at the recipes. After ordering, she officially introduced herself and said: "My surname is Xiao, and they all call me Sister Xiao. How about you, brother? We don't know each other without fighting!"

I replied: "My surname is Chen, they call me A Fei!"

Sister Xiao hummed and said: "I think my brother is also an honest person. My sister hit you like this just now, but you didn't fight back. You look like a man!"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I know you didn't do it on purpose, so forget it, but I really don't understand, why are you covering for them? What did they do?"

Sister Xiao sighed and said, "Why do you think they can go? Either they go to play mahjong, play until noon and eat, and continue in the afternoon; or they go home and cook for their husbands, sons and daughters! I don’t show them, and there’s no one outside, so what if the leader comes? Who told me to be a temporary worker? If something goes wrong, it’s all my fault!”

I asked inexplicably, "Then why are you treating me like that? If you tell me gently, I'll come back tomorrow. What will happen later?"

Sister Xiao said with some embarrassment: "Isn't it because I have been bullied by them a lot, and my heart is twisted, and I have an inexplicable sense of superiority towards ordinary people. I don't know why, so I get arrogant! I also know that I The problem, I don’t know what’s wrong, but I can’t change it!”

I yelled, "Understandable!"

When the food came, Sister Xiao kept persuading me to eat the food, and asked me if I would like to drink, but I refused decisively.

Sister Xiao said: "This place is opened by a fellow of mine. The taste is very good and the price is fair. We used to come here for dinner, but later they thought it was too small and the environment was not good. They didn't dare to issue more invoices, so they didn't Here it comes! The most annoying thing is that I get kickbacks!"

Seeing her aggrieved look, I really have reasons to believe that she just got kickbacks, and now she can't get them, so she feels dissatisfied. Of course, these have nothing to do with me.

Sister Xiao saw that I was silent, so she remembered and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what exactly are you here for? Marriage certificate? Divorce certificate? Birth certificate for the child? Or is there an old person in the family who passed away, so come here to apply for the death certificate ?”

I groaned and asked, "Why is it all about certificates? Isn't the death certificate issued by the hospital?"

Sister Xiao shook her head and said, "It's for the hospital to do it, but we have to prove that you belong to this community! Don't look at us as a street office, there are a lot of things to manage! Without our chapter, many things can be done No! Then what are you going to do?"

I took out the notice and handed it to her and said: "An old man in our village passed away and wanted to set up a relic hall in the ancestral hall. You can't apply for it, but it was rejected, so I received this notice. I just want to I know, according to which country's regulations this was rejected? I didn't see such a relevant regulation!"

Sister Xiao looked at the notice, and said ah: "I have the impression that your village is from the flower market, right? Lao Yuetou came here to do it, and it was rejected at that time!"

I asked puzzled, "Why?"

Sister Xiao said mysteriously: "Why do you need to ask? It's too troublesome! You don't need to read any regulations at all. This kind of thing can be avoided if it can be avoided. If burning paper causes a fire, we will be responsible. More things are worse than few things." One matter, we have been notified anyway, if they still insist on doing it, it’s their fault if something goes wrong, we don’t care about it! Just pass the buck, don’t say I told you!”

I frowned and said, "So, there are no rules at all, but you don't want to do it, don't you? You don't even have a red-headed document, so you just rejected it! Isn't this too much?"
