Chapter 002: The Prime Minister's Instructions

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Xiao Meng was startled and hurriedly ran to the door, opening the two security doors to rush outside. Inside the room, Xiao Li and Xiao Yang, who were near the window, both stood up to look outside. In the background, Xiao Liu and Wen Ping exchanged glances filled with an indescribable expression as they watched Xiao Meng's retreating figure: it seems that this guy always has worse luck than others.

Xiao Meng's mouth suddenly gaped wide, and his jaw nearly dislocated: "Is this a note from Premier Zhu? No way... With such crooked handwriting, it's not even better than that of a second-grade elementary school student. I've seen Premier Zhu's signature on newspapers and books; how can it be this poor?"

He looked up at the young woman, who had a pair of beautiful large eyes, with long, fluffy eyelashes, and distinctly black and white pupils. It was that gaze... so piercing. Xiao Meng's body shrank back slightly: "Heavens! A lunatic?! How am I so unlucky!"

Lao Liu glanced at his own clothes, oh! It was the short-sleeved green military shirt from when he was transferred. He looked suspiciously at the small Meng, who had a wry smile on his face. After taking the note from the young woman's hand and reading it, he carefully examined the young woman again. He quickly nodded seriously and said: "This issue is very serious! Come, come, sit down here, and I will listen carefully to what the matter is. Rest assured, we police will not let a bad person go!"

Xiao Meng rushed out the door, turned around the pillar, and saw the young woman still lying on the ground. He hurried over and helped her up. Standing at 1.74 meters tall, Xiao Meng was quite sturdy. Although the young woman appeared to be in her early thirties, her body was surprisingly light. With a single pull, he lifted her up and helped her sit down on the sofa by the window. Xiao Meng then ran to the side, poured a glass of mineral water, and brought it to her.

The young woman comforted him in return, saying: "Elder brother, do not be anxious, do not be anxious. I have the government compensation document, and I am afraid of it being stolen, so I have not dared to take it out."

Xiao Meng admiredly exclaimed: "Master Liu, you are truly amazing. How is it that that woman listens to you so well?"

He sat back by the window, and after a while, two company cashiers arrived, disbursing a sum of petty cash and collecting 130,000 in cash, which was just enough to bundle. Next to him, Xiao Yang nudged his rib with his elbow and whispered, "Brother Meng, that woman is back again"

Meng Xiaobai said irritably: "Go away, get lost, if there is another opportunity in the future, I will definitely give it to you!"

When faced with this situation, there is only one solution: send them to the police station. Rest assured, although the police station is responsible for public security, this matter is also related. Upon seeing that it is a mental illness case, they will naturally handle it. When I was a savings clerk, I encountered one such case, and he even had a note from Chairman Mao. If it weren't for his mental illness, he would have been labeled a counter-revolutionary long ago. As it was, he spent half a month at the police station, haha.

Xiao Meng, with a smiling face, cautiously said: "Elder sister, please do not worry. Can you tell me where the money is deposited? Do you know the account number or anything? If it is a demand deposit, I can accompany you to the opposite side to report the loss. If it is a fixed deposit, you will need to go to the savings institution where the money was deposited to report the loss."

He chuckled twice, tentatively asking the young woman, "Sister, what is your name? Um... where do you live? Do you have a phone or something like that..."

The young woman hesitated for a moment and stammered, "I don't know which bank I deposited the money in; it has probably been lost for about seven or eight years"

Meng Xiaobai felt a jolt in her heart upon hearing this, and her hands slipped, causing half of the money she had tied up to scatter all over the table

She looked around mysteriously and said enigmatically, "I see that you are a good person, big brother. I will give you the card, and you help me withdraw the money. Thank you so much!"

As soon as the young woman saw him, her face lit up with joy. She rushed over, breathless, and grabbed him, pointing at Xiao Meng and angrily saying: "Comrade police, this bad person is trying to steal my money, which is the compensation from the government! He is attempting to rob me!"

The young woman, upon hearing this, snatched the note back from his hand, glaring at him warily, her body shrinking back as she said: "Why are you asking this? You... you are not a good person either; you want to trick me out of my money!"

Old Liu chuckled and said with great satisfaction: "I noticed it long ago, don't worry, she won't come to cause any trouble!"

Old Liu went upstairs while talking. Xiao Meng scratched his head, thinking that apart from Old Liu's idea, there really wasn't any other good solution. When he returned to the cashier's office, Xiao Yang made a face at him and said, "Brother Meng, it's a pity that the woman said you are a robber; if she said you were a rapist, you really wouldn't be able to explain yourself!"

At 8:20, Section Chief Chang arrived at work in his white Jetta. While following the regulations to unpack and count, Xiao Meng stole a glance at Section Chief Chang, who appeared to be his usual self, not casting a single glance towards the cashier's area. He then ascended the stairs amidst the rhythmic sound of drums. Xiao Meng immediately felt relieved, secretly laughing at his own unfounded worries.

Hahaha... In the office, there was a burst of hearty laughter. Xiao Li, with a furrowed brow and a troubled expression, said earnestly: "Alas! Why am I not blessed with such fortune?"

Old Liu let out a sound of disdain and said, "If she causes a scene here and people who don't understand the situation hear it, won't they think the bank is cheating her out of her money? What can we do about her? Send her to a mental hospital? Without a family member's signature and without payment, would they even accept her? If her family finds out, won't they come knocking on our door?"

The young woman took the cup of water but did not drink, her gaze fixed intently on the brown glass coffee table in front of her, murmuring to herself: "One hundred thousand yuan must have been taken by someone. I have visited three savings institutions, but they refuse to report it as lost."

The young woman, feeling emboldened with support, immediately gained confidence. She followed him to one side, gesturing and occasionally pointing at the innocent-looking Xiao Meng. After a lengthy discussion, Old Liu smiled and nodded at her, handed back a note, and pointed towards the door while saying a few words. Upon hearing this, the young woman was filled with joy, bowed to him, and happily rushed out the door

Xiao Meng asked in a daze, "Ah?! Is this really possible? This..." She turned around and realized she had been deceived, and wouldn't come back to cause a scene anymore, hetushu.com.com?

The young woman turned her face and said excitedly, "Really? You can help me? I saved the money in Wuhan. Big brother, could you help me report it lost?"

After a while, seeing Old Liu go downstairs to the company, Meng Xiaobai hurriedly nodded in gratitude to Master Liu.

At 8:30, just as the business began, a young woman dressed in a white top and a blue professional skirt walked in. She had delicate features, but her complexion was somewhat pale, and her gaze was fixed intently on Xiao Meng as she walked straight over.

Old Liu chuckled twice and waved his hand, saying: "It's nothing. I told her that having the Prime Minister's directive wasn't enough; she also needed the signature of the local police station chief to withdraw the money for her, so I sent her off to the police station."

Old Liu from the loan department on the second floor waddled in through the door. Upon seeing a slender young woman standing in the lobby shouting that someone was being robbed, Xiao Meng stood by, drenched in sweat, shivering and too scared to move. The people at the counter leaned over to watch the commotion, hurried over, cleared their throat, and asked: "What’s going on? Who is being robbed?"

Early in the morning, Xiao Meng arrived at the office to collect the payment, still feeling a bit anxious about what had happened yesterday

The young woman suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't it possible to report a loss here? I have been to three savings institutions, I have been to three savings institutions!" As she spoke, her body swayed, and Xiao Meng, through the bulletproof glass, heard a thud, and then the young woman's figure disappeared.

Xiao Meng walked over and awkwardly said to Old Liu: "Master Liu, that woman... is mentally ill, I can't communicate clearly with her!"

The young woman hurriedly escaped from the other side of the coffee table, running to the center of the hall and shouting, "Thieves are robbing us, thieves are robbing us!"

Uh? If I lose my passbook and it gets fraudulently claimed, does the government still compensate? Xiao Meng curiously took an old, sweat-soaked piece of paper from her hand, and saw a crooked line of text on it: "Please pay this comrade a total of 100,000 RMB, Zhu XX"

Xiao Meng felt relieved and quickly stood up to take the microphone, politely saying to the young woman: "Sister, when you go out and cross the road, walk 30 meters to the right, and you will find the savings bank of my bank. You can report the loss there!"

Xiao Meng looked at the woman in surprise. The young woman approached the counter and hesitantly said: "I... I want to report a loss!"

Xiao Meng was taken aback and said, "Wuhan? This... this is Jinan! Uh... don't worry, don't worry. At which savings institution did you deposit your money, and when did you realize your passbook was lost? I can help you check the system for the phone number. You can first report the loss verbally over the phone, and then find a way to report it in writing."

He looked up and saw the young woman in a white dress and blue skirt, excitedly holding up a piece of paper. Like a warrior, she strode confidently to his window, slammed the paper onto the counter, and said with an imposing air: "Withdraw money! The police station said that efficiency is key in handling affairs now, and it’s all one-stop service. No need for the director's signature; just come and withdraw the money!"

Xiao Meng stammered upon hearing this: "What? Seven... seven or eight years? Still don't know which bank it's stored in? This... this..."
