The house was completed with great ease, but I didn't feel like celebrating. I feel a little sorry for not giving the couple too much practical help. After going through the contract process, Bai Kai and I returned. Continue to fight on the front line of closing the house.
The days when I went back were still very busy, and the houses came out of the building one by one. But just before I took over the next house, there was a little episode in the middle. An acquaintance of mine approached me and said there was something going on in his shop.
This person opened a laundry shop, which is a national chain, relatively high-end, although the price is not cheap, but the business has always been very good. The location of the store is near my home, and my suits or leather clothes have always been washed here. The boss is a southerner who is very good at doing business. Every time I went there, he would chat with me for a while, and he became acquainted with me over time. This time he opened his mouth to find me, I was really embarrassed to shirk, so I had to take Bai Kai to have a look. I didn't think there would be any real situation. This businessman is superstitious, and he listened to me in normal times It is easy to make a fuss about many ghosts and ghosts. So I thought it was nothing more than going through the motions and giving him some psychological comfort, and it was over. I didn't expect to see something strange during this trip.
Bai Kai and I met at my home. The laundry is not far away, so we were not in a hurry. We called the owner of the laundry and had a meal at a special restaurant nearby. During the dinner, we asked the owner to talk about the matter , so that Bai Kai has a bottom line.
The boss has always admired the people who work in our industry. Before he could talk about it, he praised Bai Kai first, and then told us that there are five machines in his shop, but for some reason, the innermost one The problem is that after washing the clothes with that machine, the clothes will have a strange smell, which is very unpleasant. He didn't notice it at first, and he didn't know until a customer came to the door. I ran to check the machine, and there was no dirt or foreign matter in it, and it smelled normal. He thought that the customer had something in his pocket and forgot to take it out. It is not obvious when it is not washed. After washing, it is dissolved by the high temperature of drying, and the smell spreads. So the boss negotiated with the customer, made an apology and rinsed it for free, and the matter was over.
Afterwards, the boss also investigated, and the customers here are basically regular customers, and they all live nearby, so it doesn't seem like someone is deliberately finding fault. And all the washing utensils or supplies used in his shop are normal. In the end, nothing was found, so nothing happened.
But this is not over. From that day on, all the clothes washed with the innermost machine will have that strange smell. Now the boss can't take it anymore. First of all, the clothes sent here are not cheap street stalls. Some customers have a good temper, so they just say something nice. But some customers like to be serious, and if they insist on asking him to compensate, he can only admit that he is unlucky. Secondly, after this incident happened, it had a great impact on his business, and some customers simply didn't dare to come. What made him even more helpless was that he also found a professional master from the factory to look at it. There was no problem with the equipment, and he couldn't help. This laundry equipment was bought for more than 100,000 yuan. If it is left unused, it will not only make you feel uncomfortable, but also the productivity of the laundry will drop. In the end, he had no choice but to find a new one. Daxian from our city came to see it.
At that time, he didn't have the nerve to contact me, thinking that I was busy, and I didn't need to do it. As a result, after the Great Immortal came, he didn't do any rituals or anything like that. He just lit a cigarette and walked around the room, put his clothes in the machine to wash once, and immediately concluded that there was something wrong here. The smell of dead people, he can't solve it. I couldn't explain the rest, and I didn't ask for money, so I just left in a hurry.
This time the boss finally started to break out in a cold sweat. He is not afraid of people who don't understand saying ten thousand words, but he is afraid of people who know how to say a word. After that, let alone doing business, he was trembling in the store every day. In the past, sometimes he was too lazy to go home, and he would often use the computer to play card games online in the store. This time he dared not die, and he didn’t know if it was a psychological effect. He always felt that it was dark. After that, there was a strange noise in the machine. In this way, it lasted for a few more days, and he finally came to me.
I was a little dazed when I heard it. This was the first time I heard something was going on in the washing machine. Although this dry cleaning machine is different from a washing machine, I searched the Internet and found that the principle is similar. Nothing much. I don't see any change in Bai Kai's expression, and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I didn't think much about it at all, and then clinked glasses with them for a drink.
Because of the arrangement in the afternoon, none of us drank too much. After lunch, I took a rest and walked directly to the store.
This store is very familiar to me, and I don’t need an introduction from the boss. After entering, I directly explained it to Bai Kai. Seeing the fifth machine placed in the innermost place, there was nothing special about it, it was quietly placed there.
The white card turned around, but it didn't work for half a minute. The area of the laundromat is not large, and there are several washing machines that take up a lot of space, so the movable area is even smaller.
After the transfer, we whispered to each other, and now the boss is terrified. I was afraid that if Bai Kai saw something and pointed it out immediately, it would scare the boss to death.
I whispered to Bai Kai, what happened to the laundry? Did someone hide something inside
In fact, my first association thought that this washing machine looked like a coffin, but if something really happened, I thought it would be someone who had done something to recruit some homeless wandering soul here.
Bai Kai said something different, walked over and asked the boss to open the hatch of the machine, and reached in to dig it out. Looking back, is your machine brand new
The boss nodded, and Bai Kai asked again, before and after the incident, did any strange people come to do the laundry
The boss recalled it and said no. These customers are regular customers. And he has a good memory, even if someone is unfamiliar, he still remembers what other people look like. Now that he thinks about it, there is really nothing wrong with him.
Bai Kai said yes, and kept silent.
I thought Bai Kai's logic was correct. If the boss didn't do this, it must be an outsider. Most likely the customer.
I asked the boss, what about your employees? Have you deducted other people's wages? Many migrant workers from the village may not look amazing, but they may have learned a trick from the old people at home. More than enough harm.
The boss felt a little wronged and said what about me, don't you know? I have always been sincere and warm-hearted to employees. It is impossible for someone to repay their kindness, right
I recalled it, and it was true. I used to come here sometimes, and I happened to meet the boss eating with the employees. The dishes were all the same. When some employees were sick, he even asked his wife to cook soup for them. It stands to reason that no one will retaliate.
I exchanged opinions with Bai Kai, and Bai Kai laughed, saying that the matter might not be clear until night.
I saw that it meant to watch at night, so I immediately explained to the boss that the habit of our business is to see the real trick at night. So if you trust the two of us, give me the key, and Ansheng will wait for news at home at night.
The boss nodded naturally, and immediately handed over the key, showing great trust in me. I didn't wait until the evening, so I booked a restaurant to wait for us to eat at night, and went back directly.
After the boss left, there were only two people left in the room, Bai Kai and I, and I hung up the sign that the business was closed. Go to the washing machine and see for yourself. I don't know much about this kind of machine. I touched it all the way around, but found nothing. As for the most important smell, I also confirmed again and again, except for the peculiar smell of dry cleaning oil, there is nothing.
Bai Kai, what are your plans tonight? I closed the hatch of the machine and lit a cigarette.
What else can you plan, you will go home later to get some clothes, remember it, you need both tops and pants. In vain, you can use my clothes for washing, but you have to buy me new ones. You know what brand I am wearing.
I thought about it and let it go. I know the price of my clothes. It's useless to spend the day here now, so the two of us had to go back to my house and wait for it to get dark.
