Chapter 20: Greed
After a while, Wei Xiaoqiao was finally able to sit on the elevator wall like Shen Moting.
As soon as Wei Xiaoqiao sat down, Shen Moting immediately withdrew his hand, lowered his head and continued to scroll on his phone.
In the elevator, the two people sitting next to each other did not speak again.
"Are the people inside okay?" someone shouted outside the elevator.
Wei Xiaoqiao raised her head suddenly, I don't know if her movements were a little bigger, the elevator actually began to fall, and the duration of the fall this time was significantly higher than the previous times.
"Help!" Wei Xiaoqiao cried out in horror and grabbed Shen Moting's arm next to him again.
"Shut up!" Shen Moting drank, but did not break free of Wei Xiaoqiao.
After a while, the voice outside came from above: "The people inside must be calm, the overhaul has started just now, it is likely that there is a problem with the braking system, we will do our best to save you out, don't be nervous, don't try to save yourself, try not to make big moves." ”
"What floor are we parked on?" asked the Silent Pavilion upwards.
"On the 18th floor, the emergency repair personnel should go down, and then we will disconnect the power supply, you can rest assured, the personnel of all departments are in place, and we will try our best to ensure your safety!"
The person who shouted seemed to be leaving, Wei Xiaoqiao pricked up her ears, listening to the movements coming from upstairs or downstairs from time to time, it seemed that there were indeed many people coming, and even she could hear the conversation of people outside intermittently.
"This doesn't work, the elevator will fall down at any time. ”
"How did I overhaul it at the beginning, but I didn't find such a big hidden danger!"
"Hurry up and find a way to save people, if the elevator can't be controlled, the lives of the people inside will be in danger!"
The more he heard the back, the cooler Wei Xiaoqiao's heart became, Shen Moting was right, their lives were hanging by a thread now, and they died...... Sight.
"Wasn't it quite optimistic just now?" Shen Moting took a picture of Wei Xiaoqiao's face with his mobile phone, and sneered: "What kind of expression is this, being scared silly?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Wei Xiaoqiao asked rhetorically.
Shen Moting replied indifferently: "I'm afraid it's useless, whoever let me meet it, I just feel unlucky, why did I call you in just now." ”
"I don't blame you," feeling that this is a person's death, and his words are also good, Wei Xiaoqiao instead explained Shen Moting: "I have something at home, so I came in in a hurry, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"You misunderstood, I mean, every time I meet you, it's trouble, I should have accepted the lesson a long time ago, avoided you, if it wasn't for a moment of soft-heartedness, let you into the elevator, I would have left the hospital at this time, returned to the office, drink a glass of red wine if I was happy, if I was not happy, find a subordinate who didn't like my eyes to come in and scold a few words. Shen Moting suddenly spoke more.
Wei Xiaoqiao understood that the meaning behind the people was to treat her as a broom star.
Although it is now two grasshoppers on a rope, no one can run away if something happens, it doesn't mean that Wei Xiaoqiao has to compromise: "I don't blame you for calling you in, you are embarrassed to blame others, Shen Moting, isn't it just a little more stinky money, do you think you are high?"
"It's not a sin to be rich, at least I'm not like you, I can't figure out the situation at any time, and I think how heroic I am, by the way, let's say in advance, if you really want to be a ghost, stay away from me!" Shen Moting was actually in the mood to argue with Wei Xiaoqiao.
Regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, Wei Xiaoqiao threw a roll of his eyes, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he felt quite boring.
After being silent for a while, the more Wei Xiaoqiao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Moting, there was a big living person next to him, even if he quarreled, it was better than waiting for death.
Simply, Wei Xiaoqiao asked without words: "If you really can't get out alive today, what regrets do you have?"
"I never do anything that I regret, and I won't answer a false proposition like yours. Shen Moting replied arrogantly.
Wei Xiaoqiao was not angry, raised his head and sighed, and said: "You are really confident, I regret a lot of things, I didn't have time to send my father abroad for treatment; I just got a visa, I haven't used it once; my sister has been away for so many years, and she is finally coming back, and she may not see her for the last time; and those annoying relatives at home, I can't help my parents drive them away." ”
Speaking of this, Wei Xiaoqiao felt that his face was a little wet.
"Do you really think you're a superwoman, and you live to save the world?" Shen Moting still said disdainfully.
"I never thought about saving the world, I just need to protect my family," Wei Xiaoqiao snorted: "But now that I think about it, I actually didn't do anything." ”
"Don't treat me as a pastor, I'm not in the mood to listen to your deathbed confession. Shen Moting replied coldly.
Wei Xiaoqiao wiped his tears with his hands: "It's all dying, what are you dragging!"
"Did I say I'm dying?" Shen Moting asked rhetorically.
Wei Xiaoqiao was confused, stared at Shen Moting, and asked in a choked voice, "Then you were busy writing a farewell letter just now?"
"My principle is that in case of anything, we must do a variety of responses in advance, the current situation is that if the elevator failure is not to the point of no return, and the rescuer does not make low-level mistakes, the chance of survival is at least 60%, who just said I was mourning, I cried and cried...... You don't do that either. Shen Moting mocked Wei Xiaoqiao again.
Wei Xiaoqiao couldn't cry this time, he was really angry with Shen Moting.
Since he couldn't talk to Shen Moting awkwardly, Wei Xiaoqiao gave up, leaned against the elevator wall, and thought of Lao Wei's side, and didn't know if Li Yuelan had made enough trouble.
"Lend me my phone. Wei Xiaoqiao decided to call home, Shen Moting was right just now, since something happened, he should deal with it in advance.
Shen Moting didn't say a word, and stuffed the phone into Wei Xiaoqiao's hand.
After thinking about Wei's mother's number, Wei Xiaoqiao finally dialed out.
After a long time, Wei's mother answered the phone and asked, "May I ask who it is?"
Wei Xiaoqiao rubbed his nose, tried his best to make his voice no different from usual, and replied: "Mom, my phone is broken, I will borrow someone else's call to you." ”
"Xiao Qiao, why haven't you come yet, the police have arrived. Hearing that it was Wei Xiaoqiao's voice, Wei's mother immediately screamed.
"How is it now?" Wei Xiaoqiao felt that it was not good.
"Li Yuelan sat in the corridor and sprinkled, and the police couldn't do anything about her, so she left after a few words of persuasion," Wei Mu urged: "You better come over quickly, Ma Heng was pulled by Li Yuelan." ”
Holding the mobile phone, Wei Xiaoqiao was speechless for a long time, until Wei's mother asked suspiciously: "Xiaoqiao, is there something wrong with you over there?"
"No, Mom, it's okay, what if I ...... Yes, I will come over as soon as possible, you take care of Dad, my sister will be back in two days, she is ......more careful than me, she is more careful than me" Wei Xiaoqiao said a little incoherently, and finally held back her tears and said: "Mom, remember, you can survive any difficulties!"
Before he was about to cry, Wei Xiaoqiao hurriedly hung up the phone and handed it back to Shen Moting.
The last sentence...... Is it a last word?" Shen Moting asked with a smile.
"Enough, I don't want to talk to you. Wei Xiaoqiao covered his face with his hands and let tears welled up.
After crying for a long time, Wei Xiaoqiao suddenly thought that there was another important matter, and he was about to ask Shen Moting: "If you can survive, do you still plan to demolish Porcelain Street?"
Shen Moting sneered: "I never thought of demolishing the porcelain street, isn't it all about you there, and you think you are a hero, and you have to fight with your life in three sentences, so you have no brains, do you think you can defend the Imperial Xuan?"
Wei Xiaoqiao looked at Shen Moting, and remembered that Niu Jiabao had also said that day, it seemed that it was Shen Yida, the father of Shen Moting, who insisted on demolishing it.
"Didn't you say that the previous plan was rejected by your father?" Wei Xiaoqiao sniffled and asked again.
"You think I'm going to listen to him?" replied Shen Moting rather disapprovingly.
"It doesn't feel like you're in a good relationship with your dad. Wei Xiaoqiao blurted out.
"Wei Xiaoqiao, the two of us can't be called friends, and don't think that you and I are friends in trouble, so I can put my heart into you," Shen Moting's voice suddenly became cold: "What are you asking, you still have to do it yourself, otherwise the people who come back to rescue come over, don't blame me for leaving you to run for your life first!"
"Are you threatening me?" Of course, Wei Xiaoqiao would not be taught a lesson in vain: "Turn around and the elevator will fall, I will pull you, and everyone will die together!"
"You didn't think that if I died, Yupinxuan would probably have to be demolished. Shen Moting said funny.
Wei Xiaoqiao: "......"
After a pause, Shen Moting spoke: "Actually, I am also dissatisfied with the previous plan, for example, if I really want to spend a lot of money to buy so many of your old houses, I will take a lot of financial risks." ”
"Speaking of which, do you still want to demolish?" Wei Xiaoqiao stared at Shen Moting.
"Don't you listen to what people say?" Shen Moting twisted his brows, and seemed to be a little unhappy.
Wei Xiaoqiao thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean, do you have other plans?"
"Other plans...... Shen Moting laughed: "I'm thinking, if you really want to keep the old house, it's better to make some blood yourself, and Shengshi Real Estate will help you do the transformation, and we will also do the unified business planning in the later stage. ”
Wei Xiaoqiao listened attentively, and couldn't help asking, "How much money do we have to pay?"
"I'm just a preliminary idea, there is still further research, human nature is greedy, if it is demolished, you can still get the money, but now you have to let you dig out by yourself, I'm afraid it's not so easy?" Shen Moting said, glancing at Wei Xiaoqiao.
Wei Xiaoqiao: "......"
Outside the elevator, someone asked, "Are the people inside okay?"
"All alive," Shen Moting replied, and then asked impatiently: "Hurry up and get us out, if your elevator is repaired for a year, we will still live inside?"
"Don't worry, I'll discuss one thing with you," the person outside replied: "The position of the elevator card is too high, at this time to do rescue, the risk is too great, we are going to put the elevator down, you had better lie on the elevator, don't panic when falling, we will try to control the speed." ”
"Got it, we're going to get down now. Shen Moting said, stretched out a hand and put it on Wei Xiaoqiao's back.
Unexpectedly, the elevator suddenly shook again.
Shen Moting slammed his strength and almost took Wei Xiaoqiao to the floor.
Wei Xiaoqiao was lying face down, and he felt like the ground was shaking, and his body began to fall rapidly with the elevator.
