Sure enough, when I was about to get off work in the evening, my cell phone rang.
"Chen Hao, we've been caught." Captain Liu's voice came.
"Take the rider who lost the battery, He Shiyu, to the police station, make a record, and go through the process."
I already had a premonition in my mind, but I still confirmed: "Team Liu, is he from our station?"
Team Liu responded, "Come over and talk about it."
I immediately called He Shiyu. When she heard that the thief was caught, she had mixed emotions, including anger and relief.
We rushed to the police station, and Captain Liu led us to an interrogation room.
The process went very quickly. Team Liu mainly verified with He Shiyu the specific time, location, battery model and other details of the two stolen batteries, and He Shiyu answered them one by one.
Liu Dui mentioned that the suspect has been detained under criminal detention and is being held in a detention center, and has not arranged to meet us.
After finishing the transcript, Captain Liu closed the notebook and told us: "The situation is basically clear. He has quickly taken away the battery and resold it to a car repair shop out of town."
"We have contacted the local police to assist in recovering the stolen goods, but this will take some time and cannot be done so quickly. Get it back."
He looked at He Shiyu: "Don't worry, we will handle the case to the end. For the lost part, we can subsequently file a civil lawsuit for compensation based on the judgment."
The two batteries are not worth much, but it is a bit of a delay in this kind of thing.
Leaving the police station, He Shiyu slowly spoke: "I didn't expect it was really him. He usually seems quite honest."
I didn’t answer the call, the insider was found out, and the matter came to an end.
It seems that in the future, we will have to be more careful when recruiting people. We can no longer just accept everyone who comes as an individual as we did before.
"This is ultimately my fault."
I said to He Shiyu who was beside me, "A while ago, there was a serious shortage of people at the site. When I saw someone who could ride a bicycle, I wanted to get in the car and start working. Some links were relaxed, and this allowed people like Xiao Wang to sneak in."
He Shiyu. Yu said a little aggrievedly: "Then you have to treat me! I've been so scared these days that I've shed tears several times!"
I looked at her like that and couldn't help but smile, and readily agreed: "Okay, no problem, I should treat you!"
It just so happened that in a few days, the site will pay wages this month.
I thought to myself that I might as well take this opportunity to have a simple dinner party to bring everyone together.
First of all, it calmed down He Shiyu's shock, and secondly, this recent incident has caused some confusion in the station.
It is also a good time to take this opportunity to win over people's hearts, let everyone relax and gather some morale.
"When wages are paid, let's find a place to get together and I'll treat you." I said to He Shiyu.
She then smiled a little: "That's pretty much it!"
The site finally returned to normal operation, and it was time to collect the marathon championship prize.
When I think about this money, I feel a lot more at ease.
During this period, I was expanding my website and renovating my own store. The expenses were like running water, and I was really strapped for money.
In the past two days, I even started to think about whether to use online loans to deal with emergencies. Now, this bonus is just timely.
According to the time notified, I went to the Finance Office of the Municipal Sports Bureau with my certificate.
The process went very smoothly, I signed and confirmed, and after deducting the tax, 80,000 yuan was credited to my bank card on the spot.
Looking at the account arrival text message that popped up from mobile banking, the string of numbers made me let out a long sigh of relief.
Now, the final payment for decoration and purchase payment can even be a little looser, and the hanging stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, I tried my best at that time, otherwise I would be really in trouble now.
I took the time to visit the renovated health products store.
The store has a brand new look, the walls are painted white, custom-made shelves and glass counters are also installed, and it looks like the same store.
The decorator followed me, pointing out the details and introducing the materials used: "Boss Chen, you see these lines are all hidden wires..."
I carefully checked the corners, and tried the light switches and sockets, there was nothing to fault.
Having a few more chats with the master about the later warranty matters, he readily took out his mobile phone and transferred the final payment for the decoration to him.
"Happy cooperation, Boss Chen! If you need anything in the future, come back to me!" The master received the money and left with a smile on his face.
I stood alone in the store, thinking: "It takes a long time, but this store is finally open for business. Next, it’s time to contact the store to purchase goods, hire shop assistants, and prepare to open."
Whether he can save enough money to buy a house, or whether he can start over with Lin Xiaoyu, all his hopes are pinned on this humble shop.
I took out my mobile phone, looked through the address book, and dialed a number saved as "Manager Huang - Health Products Supplier".
The phone rang several times before being picked up.
"Hello, Manager Huang? Hello, hello! I'm Xiao Chen who has delivered takeaway to you before. Do you still have any impressions?"
Manager Huang's voice on the other end of the phone was a little surprising: "Xiao Chen, the delivery guy? I have an impression. What, you have a problem with me? We don't sell medicines in bulk here."
"No, no," I explained quickly.
"Manager Huang, I have opened a small store myself and want to sell men's health care products! I just want to talk to you to see if I can get goods from you on a long-term basis. The price is easy to negotiate!"
"Have you opened your own store?" Manager Huang's tone instantly changed from impatient to surprised.
The enthusiasm of a businessman was immediately revealed, "Oh, Boss Chen! That's okay! From being a rider to being your own boss, that's awesome! What kind of goods do you want to get? We have a full range of products here, absolutely authentic! Send me your address, and I will bring samples to you for an interview tomorrow!"
“Great! Thank you, Manager Huang! I’ll send you the address right away!” After hanging up the phone, I sent Manager Huang the address of the store.
Next, the store is missing the most critical link, which is to recruit a resident pharmacist.
After all, some health products fall into the category of drugs, and according to regulations, a licensed pharmacist must be on duty to guide sales.
Previously, I was thinking about whether I could find a pharmacist from the city hospital to work part-time, which would be worry-free and reliable.
But when I thought about Liu Haifeng's incident, I immediately blocked this road.
"It seems that we can only find a solution through other channels." I sighed and took out my phone.
Hence began to publish recruitment information on various recruitment websites and local pharmaceutical industry groups.
The requirements are clearly written: a practicing pharmacist certificate is required, the ability to sit in court, and the salary is negotiable.
Not long after the message was sent, the phone received several messages.
Some pharmacy students who have just graduated and have little experience come to inquire, and some ask for too high prices.
Finding a suitable one really takes some effort.
“We can only do it step by step, there is no rush.” I have seen too many closed stores in the past few years when delivering food, and some of them closed before they even opened.
