"Comrade, I called before and made an appointment to withdraw money." Zhang Sheng took the money order from the post office and walked into the Xibao Town Post Office.

Before there was a computer network, it was extremely inconvenient to transfer money between banks. People still used pure paper passbooks. The bank kept a deposit and made a record in the passbook.

If you want to save money or withdraw money, just write a line of words on the passbook, after the number is approved, stamp it, and record it on the bank's deposit bottom. This method seems to be a little more troublesome than electronic method at first glance, but it is extremely troublesome when withdrawing money across regions.

In many places, not to mention cross-region and cross-bank withdrawals, you can’t even handle deposits and withdrawals in different business departments of the same bank. The reason is very simple. Other bank business departments do not have the foundation to deposit you, so naturally they cannot help you handle business. .

In this era, the post office is ahead of the times.

Telephones and telegrams are extremely fast communication tools, and post office remittances are also one of the few tools that can move funds across regions.

If Zhang Sheng wants to use money, he can only ask people from the Beijing headquarters of Zenecom to remit the money to Xibao Town.

In the Xibao Town Post Office, Wu Qian was on duty in front of the counter. She looked down at the English book, and while reading words with unknown meanings, she copied them on the back of the discarded stationery at the post office. She didn't have to look up when she heard the sound.

This is the style of state-owned enterprises, and there is no need to pay attention to service or efficiency.

Zhang Sheng had no choice but to speak again, and said, "Hello, comrade, I'm in a hurry here, can you take a look for me? I need money soon."

Sister Li next to her was upset, she stood up from the counter next to her and shouted, "You are the only one who is in a hurry, who has nothing to do? It is not easy for young people to read some books, why are you shouting."

"I didn't yell, but you did."

"What am I calling?" Sister Li patted the table, and then asked, "What am I calling?"

This is the Xibao Town Post Office version of "What Are You Looking at?"

Zhang Sheng helplessly spread his hands: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I was just in a hurry. I am Zhang Sheng from the British Zeneca Office in China. I called yesterday and said that I wanted to withdraw 10,000 yuan. Your Hedong The provincial post office said it was a special case, so I can come to your place today to pick it up.”

Zhang Sheng said the name of the foreign-funded enterprise, and the name of the post office of Hedong Province,

Then I began to wait quietly for everyone in the post office to be respectful.

Sister Li stared at Zhang Sheng for a while, then clicked her tongue and said, "I don't want to be a good Chinese, but I'm a bully for foreigners..."

Zhang Sheng was angry and angry. If it was normal, he would scold him, but today there are more important things.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Comrade, there's no need to say that. I'm here to handle business. You just need to remit the money to me."

Zhang Sheng put the remittance slip on the table.

Sister Li patted Wu Qian and signaled her to leave. She glanced at the remittance slip and said, "The amount is too large. Our director is not here. Just wait."

Zhang Sheng was really anxious now, and said loudly: "This money is very important, I must use it today."

"The director is not here, it's useless for you to shout."

"Where did your director go, didn't you receive orders from your superiors?"

"The director was hospitalized yesterday with a heart attack, which is very dangerous." Sister Li said, wiping her eyes, and said: "The director has worked hard all his life, and his health has long been very poor. Yesterday, he received the order from the bureau and returned to work." I had to keep working, but I fainted, and now I'm still lying in the hospital..."

Zhang Sheng was completely speechless, what could he do when he was in the hospital.

"The director is not here, who is in charge? Is the deputy director here?" Zhang Sheng had to ask himself, if you don't ask others, they will ignore you.

"We are the town post office, where is there any deputy director?" Sister Li sighed, and said: "The director fainted temporarily, and there is no one in charge now. You have a big problem, and we can't do anything about it. Come back tomorrow."

"Hey... no, there is someone waiting for me over there."

"It's okay, you can see for yourself." Sister Li ignored him.

Zhang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then pleaded again: "At least give me half, I really need it urgently."

Wu Qian, who was watching the battle, couldn't help laughing: "The remittance slips are all together, if you want to get them, you can take them all out, how about half of them?"

"I..." Zhang Sheng looked at Wu Qian, was stunned for a moment, adjusted his mood immediately, and said, "Then can I make a phone call?"

"Public phone, first fill in the form here to give the deposit." Sister Li continued to instruct Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng took out RMB and put it on the table, and hurriedly went to make a call, but unexpectedly, the phone was locked.

Sister Li knocked on the counter leisurely and said, "Fill out the form, sign it, and give the deposit."

"Didn't I give you the deposit." Zhang Sheng suppressed his anger. He really wanted to leave, but he couldn't. The only public phone in Xibao Town is the post office. Public phones are not very expensive in Beijing. universal.

"If you don't sign it, you will call back later and say that you gave me a hundred yuan. How can I prove it?" Sister Li also had a lot of reasons, and she left after speaking.

Zhang Sheng looked at her and suddenly felt bad: "Why did she leave?"

"Maybe it's going to the toilet?" Wu Qian shook her head, and continued to immerse herself in her studies. She and Yang Rui had an appointment to go to university, and it was obviously not enough to review one study.

Zhang Sheng asked unwillingly: "How long will you be back?"

"I don't know." Wu Qian continued to shake her head and continued to review the book.

"Can I fill out the form and give it to you?" Zhang Sheng was lucky.

Wu Qian smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't have a key."

Zhang Sheng had no choice but to fill out the form and wait quietly for Sister Li's return.

This wait is more than an hour.

Zhang Sheng also gradually calmed down from restlessness.

When Sister Li came in, Zhang Sheng lost his temper completely, and he called to complain, and became weak.

Complaints also took a long time.

Originally, the line going out from Xibao Town was on weak priority, and it took a long time to make a long-distance call to Pingjiang, and it was even more difficult to make a call from Pingjiang to Beijing.

In fact, the calls from Xibao Town had to pass through Xi County, then to Nanhu City, then to Pingjiang City, and then through several provinces.

A phone call to Beijing in 1984 was almost enough flight time.

What's even more tragic is that Zhang Sheng could only file a complaint with Zeneca's China headquarters.

After he finished his complaint work, Zeneca's China headquarters would send the information back to Beijing and Pingjiang.

Then, I don't know how long it will take for Pingjiang to send back the information to Xibao Town.

Sister Li looked at her watch, waited until 5:30, and began to rush people: "It's off work, I'm off work, the idlers are waiting to go home."

Zhang Sheng was startled, he hadn't received the money yet, how could he explain to the workers when he went back now.

He hurriedly asked, "Don't you get off work at 6 o'clock?"

"We need to settle accounts." Sister Li couldn't help but drive Zhang Sheng out, closed the door, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Finally, he was beaten away."

Wang Guohua, who had just returned home, came in through the back door, and thanked him, "Aunt Li still has the ability and a good idea."

Wang Guohua and Yang Rui are children, and the director of the Xibao Town Post Office is also Wang Guohua's father. With this kind of relationship, bullying a foreigner is naturally an easy request.

Only Wu Qian asked slightly worried: "Will the higher-ups blame me?"

"How strange can it be? The sky is big and the earth is big, and people are not happy? Lao Wang really went to the hospital. His heart is not good. It's good to take a few days off and let the doctor take a look." Sister Li said To Wang Guohua: "Xiaohua, you have nothing to go and talk to your dad, it's very boring to be in the hospital alone."

Wang Guohua agreed happily, and returned through the back door as usual to report to Yang Rui.
