Chapter 1049: Substituting One Thing for Another

Shi Lei thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the connection was between the thirty-six cakes of tea and the thirty-six manuscripts. But in any case, this was an abnormal situation, and Shi Lei had to take action.

After thinking for a while, Shi Lei said to Meng Qi: "Do you remember the mailing address and the consignee of that express?"

Meng Qi nodded and said: "I remember, the address is a small county town in Lingxi. I checked and found that the place is very close to Vietnam."

Shi Lei became more and more certain that this box of tea was 90% related to the thirty-six manuscripts.

"Have you checked the carton of the express?"

"It was just an ordinary carton. After I broke it on purpose, the courier didn't take the carton. I threw it into the trash can myself. I checked it carefully. I had dismembered the carton. There was no problem."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "Who is the sender?"

"The sender left the name of Qi Kaiqun's wife and the phone number was his home landline."

Shi Lei took out his mobile phone without saying anything and said, "Give me the phone number, the sender's."

Meng Qi told Shi Lei the number and Shi Lei called directly.

"Hello, is this Ms. Mo Qingyi?" After the call was connected, Shi Lei heard a woman's voice and was not sure whether it was his nanny or Mo Qingyi.

"Oh, I'm not. I'm their nanny. The lady is out and will be back in the evening. Who are you?"

"I'm from the express company. At noon, you sent a courier, right?"

The nanny immediately replied, "Yes, I sent it."

"But the name on the delivery note is Ms. Mo Qingyi's."

The nanny explained: "Oh, it's like this. This express was sent by our husband, but he is rarely at home, so he used our wife's name. He packed the express and called me to tell me to send it. What's wrong? Is there any problem with the express?"

"Oh, it's like this, because this express was damaged when our courier brought it back. After asking and investigating, the courier said that it was because a car hit him, so the cardboard box was broken. He brought the package back in the company's express bag. In this case, we are not sure how many items were mailed. First, it is for customers. First, the courier is responsible for the delivery, and secondly, the courier is also worried that it might be lost on the way, so I want to check with you. Excuse me, is the item you mailed Pu'er tea right?"

The nanny seemed a little unhappy, she said: "It is Pu'er tea, but why are you so careless, my husband has already packed it, and your courier asked to open it to check what it is. After confirmation, it was resealed, why was it opened again when it arrived at your place? "

"I'm really sorry, this is indeed our negligence, but it is also an unexpected situation, so we need to verify the specific quantity with you." Shi Lei was very polite, trying to pretend to be the tone of the bottom manager of the courier company.

The nanny had no choice but to say, "There are 36 cakes of tea in total, and they are well packaged. You must count them clearly."

Shi Lei immediately said, "It's okay if there are 36 cakes. Thank you for your cooperation and sorry for disturbing you. We apologize to you again for the courier's mistake. The company has decided to handle your order for free. Do you want to come to our courier point or give me an account number and I will refund the courier fee to you?"

The nanny felt a little satisfied and said, "Can I give you my Alipay account number?"

A box of tea weighs nearly one pound per piece, and together they weigh 30 pounds. The courier fee is always about 100 yuan. The other party is just a nanny, and she must be willing to see the courier fee returned to her. As long as she wants to enrich herself, she will never tell Qi Kaiqun about this unexpected situation.

"No problem, go ahead."

The nanny gave an Alipay account, and Shi Lei said that he would return the courier fee to her soon. He apologized again, and the other party said arrogantly: "Okay, seeing that your apology attitude is quite sincere, I will not hold your courier responsible. I won't tell our husband about this matter, so as not to make him unhappy. I tell you, you have to help me send this thing out properly. If the other party finds something wrong after receiving it, I will still trouble you again."

"Please rest assured, we will help you upgrade this express to air mail to ensure that it is delivered to the recipient quickly and accurately."

"That's almost right, so transfer the money to me quickly!"

The nanny hung up the phone, Shi Lei smiled slightly, asked Meng Qi about the specific amount of the fee on the express bill, and then transferred the money to the nanny.

After Shi Lei finished all this, Meng Qi said with emotion: "Mr. Shi, you are really smart. It is so easy to confirm that these teas were sent by Qi Kaiqun, not his wife."

"It also cost more than 100 yuan!"

Meng Qi shrugged, and Shi Lei said again: "Maybe I need to trouble you."

"I understand, I will go to the express company and will definitely intercept this express for you."

But Shi Lei shook his head and said: "It is better not to do anything with the express company, so that Qi Kaiqun will not pay attention to the logistics information of this express. If you bring the things back, the express company may not find it for a while, but they will not be able to upload the logistics information. I mean you go to Lingxi..."

Meng Qi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shi, don't worry. I guarantee that there will be no problem with the logistics information of this order. I'll just buy some tea leaves and exchange them with that batch of tea leaves. There's no need to go to Lingxi. Far away?"

Shi Lei smiled. He really forgot that he could do this. He said: "You are still thoughtful, I was too anxious and neglected it. Okay, I'll trouble you to go there."

"This is simple."

After sending Shi Lei back to the ancient town, Meng Qi bought the same amount of tea on the way and drove directly to the express company.

After confirming that the courier who had received the package before was not there, he walked into the courier company swaggeringly.

When the person in charge was called, Meng Qi said that the express delivery he sent at noon was wrong, and the nanny at home took the wrong box.

I reported the express delivery number and explained the content of the express items. The addresses and phone numbers of both parties were correct. The person in charge of the express company didn't think much about it. Although this kind of thing is rare, it does happen occasionally, and it's not It was something too valuable, so he naturally helped Meng Qi find the repackaged box.

"These are ordinary tea leaves. They are usually kept in the company for employees to drink. But there is a good friend of mine who is receiving the goods. He asked me to buy some tea leaves. I can't give him such high-priced goods. I will think about it later. I can’t bear to spend money.”

While Meng Qi was changing the tea leaves, he was explaining to himself. The person in charge of the express company didn't think much about it. He also smiled and said, "You are a successful person at first sight. Of course you can't give too cheap tea leaves to others." . However, the tea you sent is not cheap, it is all from Lao Banzhang."

"When someone opens their mouth, they always have to send something good. I originally wanted to just send one piece, but as you know, Lao Banzhang's production is small and he can't buy that much, so he can only get so much. First. Let’s send it over and talk about it later.”

Meng Qi handed the other party a cigarette with a smile, then drove away in a grand manner holding the stolen tea.
