The small four-story building seems to host countless companies, with various company names posted on almost every window.
The outdoor air-conditioning units between floors are also covered with various advertisements that resemble urban psoriasis. Even on the shelves of many air-conditioning outdoor units, there are various company signs hanging in the breeze.
Standing downstairs, Cheng Yu looked up and after a few glances, he determined that there were at least seventy or eighty companies in this small building of only four floors.
Judging from the number of windows, there are not even seventy or eighty rooms in this small building. There is no doubt that many companies simply have several companies crowded into one office, and one desk is considered a company.
Cheng Yu frowned.
This ghost place is already hard to find, but now, it's not that easy to find the labor service company among the seventy or eighty companies in this building.
It is almost impossible to expect this kind of company, in this kind of office building, to be able to confirm its office floor and office room number by looking at the picture at the front desk on the first floor like a normal office building.
This building should have a parking lot, but Cheng Yu didn't bother to find the entrance to the parking lot. With so many companies, he didn't know how many people were crowded in this building. It would be strange if there were empty parking spaces in the parking lot.
.
Fortunately, parking indiscriminately is normal in a ghost place like this. Cheng Yu parked his car on the side of the road, got out of the car, and walked towards the door of the four-story building.
Pushing the door open, a more humid and hot atmosphere hit my face.
In this small building, the offices are equipped with split-type air conditioners. Obviously, there will not be any air conditioning or other equipment in the lobby on the first floor.
Not only was there no air conditioning, Cheng Yu even felt a little dazed after opening the door.
This so-called first-floor lobby is almost noisier than the street. However, in the 780-80-square-meter lobby, except for a path leading to the elevator room in the middle, the rest of the lobby is surrounded by various large and small buildings.
The desk is full.
The ground is also covered with wires pulled out from various wiring boards. Several old fans are making strong noises. The wind blowing out falls on people. Not only does it not feel cool at all, but it will make people feel
It's even hotter and more breathless.
Those people didn't react at all to Cheng Yu's entry. Everyone spoke in various strange accents, even in different languages, and shouted something.
The only similarity is that these people are either shouting into a microphone in front of the computer, or yelling into the old phone in their hands, as if they are not discussing business at all, but quarreling with others.
As for sitting posture, that doesn't exist. Everyone's space is extremely narrow. Some even sit on their own desks, take off their shoes, and put their feet on the desk opposite.
And some sit on their own computer cases and beat the worn-out keyboard as if it were a weapon.
In addition to the stuffy heat caused by the lack of air conditioning, the lobby is also mixed with all kinds of sweat, foot odor, and the smell of unknown dead animals rotting. As for the swill smell caused by leftovers, that is probably the most annoying thing here.
I don't feel the smell is so unpleasant anymore.
Even though Cheng Yu didn't have many habits of a noble son, he still frowned when he was suddenly in such a situation, which was worse than a domestic vegetable market.
After touching his body for a while, Cheng Yu found a pack of napkins, took out one, unfolded it and covered his mouth and nose.
The scent of the napkin finally made Cheng Yu feel that his breathing was a little normal.
Not daring to delay any more, the only fantasy he had before entering was that he hoped that there would still be a front desk in this building, so that he could at least confirm which floor the damn company was on. It completely disappeared. Cheng Yu hurriedly walked through the middle
The road that could kick someone's leg at any time rushed towards the elevator.
The elevator was still an extremely old-fashioned one, with an iron-barred elevator outside the door. Cheng Yu pressed the elevator button, the lights came on, and amid a squeaking sound, he arrived quickly.
Someone inside opened the elevator door, glanced at Cheng Yu expressionlessly through the fence, and said, "Where?" in Spanish.
When Cheng Yu was studying in the United States, he had some exposure to Spanish. He may not have enough conversational communication, but he could still understand some simple words.
He first asked the other party if he could communicate in English. Although the official language of Chile is Spanish, English is still a language that educated people can barely communicate with.
The other party switched to English with a strong accent and asked: "Where?"
Cheng Yu then said: "I want to find a company..."
He reported the name of his company to the other party, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by the other party.
"I don't know the company you are talking about. There are hundreds of companies in this building. Who knows what company you are talking about. Which floor are you going to?"
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let me go to the second floor to look for it first."
The man held out three fingers expressionlessly and said, "Three hundred pesos."
Cheng Yu was stunned. He never thought that in such a ghost place, he would have to pay to even take an elevator. Moreover, it seemed that if he couldn't pay, the other party wouldn't even let him in through the elevator door.
The peso is the local currency unit. Three hundred pesos is about three dollars in soft currency, which is not expensive. But the problem is that Cheng Yu has no local currency at all.
The U.S. dollar should be universal here, at least these people would not refuse to accept U.S. dollars, but Cheng Yu didn't have a U.S. dollar worth less than one dollar at all.
There was no need to worry about waste. Cheng Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense to the other party and said directly: "Can US dollars be used?"
The other party looked at him again, nodded and said, "Okay. One dollar."
One dollar is almost seven hundred pesos. The other party is definitely blackmailing, but Cheng Yu has no other choice.
He took out his wallet and found that there was only a ten-dollar bill in the smallest denomination.
He took it out and handed it over, but the other party accepted it directly, stood up and opened the gate for Cheng Yu, and then pressed the button on the second floor without any intention of changing the money.
Although Cheng Yu didn't care about a trivial matter like ten dollars, how could he, who was used to picking on others, watch his own money being stolen directly by the other party?
When the elevator reached the second floor, Cheng Yu said: "Change."
The man rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you looking for someone? If they aren't there on the second floor, you have to keep going upstairs. We'll look for you together later."
Cheng Yu looked at the other party with a cunning gleam in his eyes, knowing that the other party actually had no intention of giving him the money. After a moment's hesitation, Cheng Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the other party's neck.
Pressing the other party's head against the wall of the elevator, Cheng Yu lowered his voice and said viciously: "You're giving me change. If you miss one peso, I'll kill you!"
The other party was frightened by Cheng Yu's sudden ferocity, and his neck was pinched painfully. He made an indistinct sound in his mouth, which meant that Cheng Yu let go and asked him to change his money again.
Cheng Yu stared at the opponent and slowly let go of his hand. Just when the opponent was about to get up, Cheng Yu punched the opponent in the face, and then choked the opponent's neck again.
"Don't play tricks with me, be honest, otherwise I won't mind letting you lie here."
This time, the other party was completely honest.
Looking at Cheng Yu's pampered face and fair skin, this person thought that Cheng Yu must be an easy target to bully. But he didn't expect that Cheng Yu would use such violent means to let him see the ferocity behind his fair face.
The man looked at Cheng Yu timidly and handed back the ten-dollar note in his hand, meaning that he would not accept Cheng Yu's money.
Cheng Yu continued to stare at him and said, "Am I the one who doesn't give money? Change!"
The other party then opened a small bag he was carrying and grabbed a handful of pesos from it. Cheng Yu pinched his neck and tremblingly counted out six thousand five hundred pesos and handed it to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu collected the money, opened the elevator door, and walked out.
When he walked out of the elevator door, Cheng Yu turned around and glared at the man fiercely.
The person who drove the elevator must be one of the lowest-level people among the staff here. That person just thought that Cheng Yu should be easy to bully, or he saw a lot of dollars in Cheng Yu's wallet, so he had a wrong idea.
But after all, he is a staff member here, and Cheng Yu is alone. Cheng Yu also has to prevent the other party from finding someone to take revenge on him.
Staring at him is a warning to him, hoping that this matter can be put to an end.
However, Cheng Yu immediately clicked on the mall in the upper right corner on the light screen in his mind, and then redeemed a martial art in the mall.
After spending the five points, Cheng Yu had an additional martial arts option in his storage compartment.
As long as the person in the elevator dares to make any move, Cheng Yu doesn't mind wasting these five points and uses the highest level of personal force on earth to teach the other person a lesson.
The entire second floor was far more than what Cheng Yu saw when he was downstairs. When he reached the end of the corridor, Cheng Yu discovered that after the corridor turned, there were two identical corridors behind it, and above each corridor, there were at least
More than a dozen offices.
From the signs hanging at the door of those offices, Cheng Yu could clearly know that there were at least two companies in these offices, and at most there were even five or six companies crowded there.
But looking in from the open doors of some offices, the area there is only a dozen square meters, and it is difficult to put three desks. It is difficult for Cheng Yu to understand how those offices crowded with five or six companies are interacting with each other.
getting along with each other.
But none of this had anything to do with him. He just walked along the corridor, one office after another, looking at the small sign hanging on the door, looking for where the company that helped Li Dali apply for the labor dispatch certificate was.
A corridor comes to an end, nothing.
After turning the corner, there was no company in the second corridor even with a similar name to that company.
After walking the entire second floor, Cheng Yu couldn't find the company he was looking for.
Returning to the elevator room, Cheng Yu pressed the elevator button and the elevator door opened immediately.
When the man saw that it was Cheng Yu, he shivered slightly, and then opened the elevator door in a very awkward manner.
"Third floor." Cheng Yu didn't talk nonsense to him, as long as this person didn't dare to find someone to take revenge on him. Cheng Yu took out the pesos just now, counted out three hundred, and handed it over.
The other party was a little hesitant, but seeing Cheng Yu's eyes widen again, he accepted it honestly, started the elevator, and took Cheng Yu to the third floor.
I searched around the third floor, but still couldn't find the company.
Cheng Yu had to spend another three hundred pesos to reach the fourth floor.
When he reached the fourth floor, Cheng Yu felt a little strange, because he found that the length of the corridor on the fourth floor was at least one-third less than the two floors below.
With doubts, Cheng Yu searched room by room, but after searching the entire fourth floor, he still couldn't find the company.
This was strange. Cheng Yu confirmed again that he had not found the wrong building. The company should be in this building. But why couldn't he find this company after searching all over?
Cheng Yu suspected that a large company still existed in the reduced area on the fourth floor, but he could not find the entrance.
So he searched carefully twice on the fourth floor, and even asked a local who worked on the fourth floor and seemed less busy.
The man told Cheng Yu that the fourth floor, which was smaller than the area downstairs, was indeed occupied by a single unit. However, that unit was not a company, but a non-profit organization, affiliated with the local government, and they were not
There is no entrance or exit from here, but an elevator is specially installed on the outer wall.
Cheng Yu asked carefully and told the man the name of the company he was looking for. The man shook his head in confusion and said, "There are at least two hundred companies in this building. I really don't know the company you are talking about."
Which company is it? But I can guarantee that the non-profit organization on the fourth floor is definitely not the company you are looking for. From what you said, that company probably does labor certification, right?"
Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this. From the name of the company, it definitely sounded like a normal foreign trade company, but why did this person directly know that the company was doing these things?
Perhaps it was Cheng Yu's expression that allowed the man to understand the truth. He smiled and explained: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you that if you just want to find a labor employment certificate to help you extend your stay,
Regarding Chilean visas, there are at least fifty companies in this building that specialize in this. You don’t have to find that company.”
Cheng Yu suddenly realized and said: "Your company is also...?"
But the man shook his head and said, "That's not true. Well, you go directly to the first floor, stand in the corridor and shout, saying that you need a legal labor certificate. I think there will be at least ten people coming.
I take the initiative to invite you. This kind of thing can usually be done for two to three hundred dollars."
Cheng Yu scratched his head, thanked him, and turned to leave.
After confirming that there would never be the company he was looking for on the fourth floor, Cheng Yu was even more puzzled.
Could it be that the company is so embarrassed that it can't afford to rent an office and has to stay in the lobby downstairs?
Cheng Yu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. The area upstairs was at least thousands of square meters, but the lobby downstairs was only seventy or eighty square meters. This showed that in addition to the lobby, there should also be offices on the first floor.
So he returned to the elevator room, pressed the elevator button, waited until the man opened the door, and asked him: "Is there an office on the first floor?"
The man was stunned and nodded quickly.
Cheng Yu opened the fence door, stepped in, and said, "First floor."
The man hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and said timidly: "Five hundred pesos."
Cheng Yu glared and said, "Isn't it three hundred?"
The man trembled and then said: "Three hundred for each floor, four hundred for two floors, and five hundred for three floors."
Cheng Yu was really speechless. This was the most expensive elevator he had ever taken in his life.
Seeing that Cheng Yu seemed a little dissatisfied, the man hurriedly pressed the button on the first floor and said tremblingly: "No, no, no, I've already collected nine hundred pesos from you, so I'll give it to you this time."
The elevator started swaying, and Cheng Yu had the intention to throw away the five hundred pesos, but when he thought about it carefully, why! If he had searched for it on the first floor from the beginning, he might have already found the company, and there would be no need to go up at all.
. Even the nine hundred pesos spent by Cheng Yu felt a little painful.
Moreover, the man himself said that to give Cheng Yu this opportunity to ride the elevator, Cheng Yu naturally had no reason to give him money.
When they reached the first floor, Cheng Yu asked, "Where do you go to the office on the first floor?"
The man stood up and rushed to the other side of the elevator. Only then did Cheng Yu realize that the elevator actually connected from both sides, and the office on the first floor was on the other side of the elevator.
When Cheng Yu walked out of the elevator, he heard a soft sound in his head: "Ding!"
A golden +3 appeared in Cheng Yu's mind. Cheng Yu didn't think much about it. It was probably because he didn't spend any money to take the elevator this time, so the system gave him a reward.
After searching for a long time on the first floor, Cheng Yu still couldn't find the company. He wondered if it was because it took too long and the company had already...
But the problem is that Cheng Yu only called them two days ago, and the other party didn't mention changing the office address.
With doubts, Cheng Yu left the building and got into the car, puzzled.
In fact, there was an easier way to find that company, but Cheng Yu didn't want to alert the enemy.
I originally thought that since I have the address of this company, everything should be easy to find. Even if there are more companies in this building, I can always find it if I go from one to the next.
Cheng Yu wanted to pretend to be the kind of customer who just knocked on the door, and didn't want the other party to have even the slightest feeling that he was here specifically to see him.
This kind of company obviously has a certain underworld background. Who knows if the people in this company have any special relationship with Lawrence Bill?
But now, Cheng Yu really had to make a call.
Fortunately, the phone card I am holding in my hand now is a local phone card, so the other party may not have such a good memory to remember Cheng Yu's voice.
Just like last time, the phone rang several times before someone answered.
