Chang An's gaze was fixed on that photo.

The photograph should have been taken in a hurry in a noisy setting, without any composition, a static silhouette, but it can still be seen that the scene is chaotic. In the photo, Zhou Wei tilted his head slightly, his sword eyebrows were frowned, his face was heavy, probably because he was attacked from front to back, and his tie seemed to be torn crooked, so he looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing such a photo suddenly, Chang An moved up to look at the title above - "Rongbang uses fake and shoddy steel, who is acting as the umbrella of unscrupulous developers"

The water cup in Chang An's hand shook, and she suddenly felt a little unsteady on her feet, she took a few seconds to stabilize her mood, and sat on the sofa next to her, and then she clicked on the headline to read the news details.

The news made the matter very clear, to the effect that the Luyang Lake construction site used shoddy and substandard "slimming steel bars".

What is "slimming steel bar"? It refers to the normal steel bar stretched and stretched for housing construction, so as to reduce the construction cost, but in this way, the ductility of the steel bar will be destroyed, once an earthquake occurs, the building is easy to collapse, and even the building will collapse in serious cases, endangering the life safety of residents.

……

Chang An was worried about Zhou Wei's situation, and he didn't rest well during the whole voyage.

The flight arrived in Yunling the next day, it was late at night when she landed, she took a taxi to rush back to Changhe, and couldn't help but use her mobile phone to brush the news on the way, in just a dozen hours, the matter has been fermented very seriously on the Internet, netizens are indignant and denounced, all kinds of negative news continue, slowly extending from the Luyang Lake project to other properties developed by Rongbang, including the previous Shanglinyuan poison land incident was also turned over.

There are even rumors that the Luyang Lake project collapsed because of the use of "slimming steel bars" when it first started, and several workers were killed, just because the boss of Rongbang had a Z house and official background, so the casualties were suppressed.

is no longer an unscrupulous profiteer, this is Shengsheng who said that Rongbang is "a mustard human life".

Chang An was angry, this is obviously nonsense, but the terrible thing about online violence is that it is extremely inflammatory, and no one listens to any explanation from you at all.

Rushing back to Changhe from the airport, Chang An hurriedly opened the door, only to find that there was no one at home, an empty villa, and cold air.

Zhou Wei was not at home, Chang An was stunned for a moment before thinking of calling him, but when the phone was dialed, it was still a busy sound over there, she was really anxious, and tried to call Xu Nan again, but she didn't have any hope, after all, it was late at night, but unexpectedly, it was answered quickly.

"Mrs. Zhou?" the voice was visibly surprised.

Chang An didn't care about the abruptness, and hurriedly spoke: "I'm sorry to bother you so late!"

"Mrs. Zhou is polite, do you have something to do with me?"

Immediately into Chang An's ears was the voices of some men, as if in a closed but noisy environment.

Chang An asked directly: "Are you busy?"

"Yes, there's an emergency meeting. ”

It's so late.

"Zhou Wei is also there?"

There was a pause, probably strange how Chang An could ask this, but quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Zhou is also there, the company has encountered a tricky problem, you may have already seen the news, so it may not be over for a while, are you looking for Mr. Zhou to answer the phone?"

"No, no. Chang An refused again and again, "I just came back from England, just asking." ”

She hung up the phone knowingly, embarrassed to disturb them again, reluctantly cleaned up her mood, and forced herself to take a shower and rest, but lying on the bed tossing and turning, her mind was full of the embarrassed and restrained appearance of Zhou Wei being squeezed by reporters in the crowd.

Can't sleep.

Chang An got up in annoyance and looked at the time, it was almost early in the morning, and there was no movement downstairs.

She didn't know what she could do, but she could imagine Zhou Wei's situation, Yu'an's case was not over yet, and now it was suddenly exposed.

Embattled, she thought.

Chang An fell on the bed and struggled for half an hour, but he still got up and got dressed and went out.

It's really cold and windy, Chang An wrapped his coat and walked to the door of the community, convincing himself in his heart as he walked, let's go learn to drive, or go to get a driver's license, at least when you go out in a hurry, you don't have to wait for a taxi.

Fortunately, although it was very late, it was not difficult to take a taxi at the gate of Changhe, and Chang An soon stopped the car.

"Master, please go to Rongbang Mansion!"

There are not many vehicles on the road late at night, and the taxi has been speeding all the way, and it has been more than 20 minutes to reach the destination.

Chang An paid the money and got out of the car, and when he looked up, the lights of the entire Rongbang Building had almost been turned off, except for the top floor, where the lights were still visible, and a few white lattices looked abrupt and dazzling in the dark night.

Chang An entered the hall and had access control, but fortunately, she had been here before, and the security guard on duty still recognized her, so she swiped the card for her to let her go.

I went straight up to the top floor, and as soon as I got out of the elevator, I heard a sound coming from the conference room diagonally opposite.

The door of the conference room was not closed tightly, Chang An walked over and took a look, and from the gap you could glimpse the scene inside, a long conference table, there were a lot of documents and A4 paper scattered on the table, and there were also many laptops on the table, there were about seven or eight people around the conference table, as if someone was arguing, a middle-aged man pointed at who was scolding, Chang An looked carefully, and the one who was scolded seemed to be the vice president of finance, Lao Deng?

Chang An had some impressions of him, because he had accompanied Zhou Wei to visit his wife in the hospital before, and Zhou Wei sat on the top seat and did not speak, but leaned back on the leather chair, did not tie a tie, and the buttons of his shirt were torn open, which was a little far away, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could also tell his depression and exhaustion from the outline.

The quarrel continued for a while, and was finally stopped by Xu Nan.

Zhou Wei seemed to say something, his voice was not high, but his tone was not very good, and the conference room, which was noisy before, suddenly quieted down, just a few seconds of silence...

"I have someone I know from the Construction Bureau, I have already asked in the afternoon, and the matter is not so serious that it is irreparable, brother, the top priority is to find a way to block the negative news on the Internet first!" A clear female voice stood out in the murky conference room in the middle of the night.

Chang An was stunned, she didn't pay attention at first, walked to the side for half a step and then looked into the seam, and finally saw Zhou Xin sitting on Zhou Xin's left hand, a royal blue cashmere sweater, which really stood out in a crowd of black or white suit shirts.

It turns out that she is also there, Chang An's heart is sour for no reason, but after thinking about it, every time Zhou Wei company has a big event, she always accompanies him, before the project filing, design, she as the chief designer to provide and participate in the whole set of programs, some time ago Yu'an accident affected Rongbang, she rushed to Beijing for the first time to dredge, and this time, she sat next to Zhou Wei, participated in the meeting, provided contacts and assistance, the two sat together, the scene was extremely harmonious.

Chang An didn't knock on the door after all, nor did she contact Zhou Wei, it was still going on, and she stood alone in the corridor for a while, out of place, and at this moment suddenly felt that there was always a gap and distance between her and him.

……

A meeting lasted from dawn to dark, and from darkness to moonlight, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning at the end.

"Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Wei was still packing up.

He took two steps forward and swallowed hard, "This time I was negligent, I shouldn't have signed the purchase order without verification, it's too late to say anything now, but don't worry, I will hand in my resignation tomorrow, and you don't have to come forward to cooperate with the investigation later, I will bear it with all my might!"

He stood up straight, like someone swearing an oath.

Zhou Wei finally looked up from the pile of materials and stared at him.

"If you still make such a low-level mistake after working for so many years, there will definitely be punishment, but not to the point of quitting, and I know your situation during this time. ”

A while ago, he accompanied him in Beijing, and there was a seriously ill wife in bed at home, Deng Shunlin's situation was indeed not much better than Zhou Wei.

Originally, he wanted to say something to environmental Deng Shunlin's senseless guilt, but he was too tired, and the incident had stretched him to a limit, so in the end, he omitted most of the content and only patted Deng Shunlin on the shoulder.

"There is still a tough battle to be fought, don't come up and submit your resignation, since you have recognized your mistake, give me a good chance to make up for it!" Zhou Wei finished speaking, took the computer and left.

Deng Shunlin's body shook, turned around and suddenly raised his voice, "Do you believe that the whole thing has nothing to do with me?"

Tianfeng is responsible for the construction of the construction site, but all building materials purchase orders need to be signed by Deng Shunlin's hand, and now this kind of thing has happened, and the first thing that most people think of is that Deng Shunlin is running through Tianfeng and building materials suppliers, making profits from it, which is also the reason why there will be quarrels in the conference room just now.

Zhou Qian stopped and turned around.

"How many years have you been with me, and you don't trust me at all?" Okay, my throat is smoking, I'll talk about it tomorrow!" he threw down a sentence and walked straight out of the conference room.

Deng Shunlin stood in place, almost fifty years old, when suddenly his nose was sour and his eyes were red like rabbits.

Zhou Yan had a terrible headache, almost pressed his temples and walked to the office, pushed open the door, and looked up to see a person lying on the armrest of the sofa.

He was stunned, and when he got closer, he found that it was Chang An.

It's a magical feeling, in a state of extreme exhaustion, even like a desperate situation, only to suddenly encounter a surprise in a desperate place.

Is this a surprise?

No, it doesn't seem to count, it's more of a throbbing, like a hammer hitting his tight heart, slamming it, and the heart that had been stretched for a day suddenly softened.

Zhou Wei's footsteps unconsciously relaxed, and he put down the computer and materials in his hand in the past, trying to find something to cover her, but after scanning around, he found that there was nothing in the office, and finally simply took off his suit.

"Brother!" Zhou Xin suddenly walked in from outside the door.

Zhou Wei was taking the suit to cover Chang An's body, when he heard the movement and turned around, his eyes came over, and he raised his chin, "Don't make a sound, go out!"
