Chapter 156: A Sudden Fire

Zhao Maomao is twenty years old this year, he is an authentic Yicheng person, he has lived in Gujing Street since he was a child, he was naughty and mischievous when he was a child, and his academic performance was very bad.

Fortunately, after graduating from junior high school, he went to a technical school, although the school environment was a little worse, but gradually he became sensible and knew that he might not even be able to eat in the future without skills, and he finally began to pay attention and study hard.

Three years of technical school study made him a rookie student who was familiar with machine tool operation, but after graduation, Zhao Maomao's assigned unit made him very dissatisfied, and he had a meager monthly income of 100 yuan for more than half a year.

Knowing that there was a factory recruiting technicians in the newly established development zone, Zhao Maomao decisively went to apply for a job, and soon found a good job with an income several times more than before, which was enviable.

I have to say that Zhao Maomao's choice to enter the factory at a very good time, after receiving the training of the experienced old technicians in the factory, he will soon be able to operate valuable machines independently.

Zhao Maomao was promoted to production supervisor because of his excellent performance a few months after entering the factory.

The young Zhao Maomao suddenly became a star in the factory, and as for the current income, it is even bigger, and the monthly income of 1,000 and a half makes countless people blush.

After rapid development in the past two years, Yicheng's per capita income has increased a lot, but a monthly income of more than 1,000 is still out of reach for most people.

Zhao Maomao, who is relatively introverted, has now become the most enviable star in Gujing Street, and every day I don't know how many matchmakers flock to his home, and Zhao Maomao, who has a lot of income, has become a sweet spot in the eyes of everyone.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and recently there was news that a big boss from the south wanted to build a large commercial and residential area in Gujing Street, where Zhao Maomao lived. Residents living in Gujing Street now can receive a huge amount of land acquisition money that is said to be worth tens of thousands.

As soon as the news came out, not only the residents of Gujing Street were eager to see through it, but also the countless residents of the entire old town of Yicheng were looking forward to it, and they naturally hoped that such a good thing could also happen in their area.

This may sound funny, but for countless people in the old town of Uiseong, it is normal.

The current Yicheng can be said to be undergoing great changes every day, not only the construction of the Chu Wangcheng Development Zone north of the urban area is in full swing. Even the old town of Yicheng has unlimited business opportunities, and I don't know how many investors have flocked to the road from all over the country.

After two years of grand publicity and promotion at the grand tea festival, coupled with the leading effect of the national key development zone of Chu Wangcheng, no matter how slow the officials of the old city of Yicheng are, they are also driven by this monstrous business opportunity.

When he learned that Gujing Street, where he lived, was about to be demolished and reconstructed, Zhao Maomao, including his parents, didn't know how excited he was. The parents who were still worried about Zhao Maomao's marriage were smiling all day long, and they naturally knew that if they really had tens of thousands of yuan in land requisition money, they would not have to wait for Zhao Maomao's salary accumulated in a few years, so they would be able to buy a good commercial house immediately.

Zhao Maomao is now happy and refreshed every day, and his good attitude makes his work efficiency steadily improve, which makes his colleagues in the factory inexplicable.

Today is payday, Zhao Maomao took the bank passbook with his salary, and when he got off work, he passed by the mall and bought some things. Zhilu Dao, who works hard and lives a hard life, is now very considerate of his parents at home, and often buys some delicious things for the family to subsidize and subsidize has become Zhao Maomao's living habits.

Zhao Maomao's factory is actually the Yuanda Bearing Factory invested by Liu Zhenhua.

After the original factory was relocated from Hezhou to Yicheng, a large number of the most advanced machine tools and equipment were purchased, and the emerging Yuanda Bearing Factory not only retained a large number of skilled technicians from the old factory, but also recruited a lot of technical school students like Zhao Maomao, who had just graduated.

Yuanda Bearing Factory trained a large number of technicians while in the process of intense construction and construction. After more than half a year of rapid construction, the main plant of the bearing factory has been formed, and the running-in of personnel is basically in place.

From the very beginning, Liu Zhenhua resolutely implemented the suggestions given by Chen Youwei and recruited several technical talents in the bearing industry from Huhai. According to the market demand, the design and research of qualified automotive bearings, excellent performance of the sample immediately won the second automobile located in Jiangbei Province not far from the favor of the second automobile.

The annual order of 70 million sales is very confident for Liu Zhenhua, who is new to the bearing industry, and their latest marine bearings designed for a large number of river-class civil small vessels used in domestic inland river transportation are also a great success.

It can be said that when Yuanda Bearing Factory has not officially started operation, it has obtained orders worth more than 100 million yuan.

Such huge economic benefits can simply make Liu Zhenhua, who has become an industrialist, unable to keep his mouth shut.

The benefits of the bearing factory have been guaranteed, which has made the income of technicians like Zhao Maomao, who have worked hard to grow into the backbone of the factory's technical skills, skyrocket. Under this virtuous circle, Zhao Maomao and their enterprises are more energetic.

Today is the weekend, Zhao Maomao bought a few catties of mutton from the vegetable market after work, and his father likes to eat carrot stewed mutton the most, and he is very generous to buy it to improve the family's life.

His father's and mother's business was in a recession, and there was a smart and clever sister in the family who was in high school, and now Zhao Maomao has become the main source of income for the family.

Zhao Maomao, who knew that the family conditions were not too good, also vowed to make a name for himself and let his family live a better life.

Zhao Maomao, who returned with a full load, naturally ushered in a burst of resentment from his family, and his parents, who were very thrifty, were very dissatisfied with their beloved son's big spending. However, since it was the beloved son who had grown up, after a period of complaining, the family happily made a sumptuous dinner.

When the lights were on, the fragrant mutton stew pot was already out of the pot, and Zhao Maomao's family was full of warmth and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Meimei had a big meal, Zhao Maomao's family sat around and watched a rich TV program, full of laughter and laughter in this warm family that is still very simple.

"Maomao, what does it smell like? Why does it smell weird? Father Zhao Gang's nose trembled, and he faintly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Zhao Maomao subconsciously glanced sideways at the window, and under a spirit, he hurriedly shouted: "Oh no, it's on fire outside!" ”

Zhao Gang opened the door with a big stride, and outside the wall, there was already thick smoke billowing out, and the fiery red flames had begun to spread in all directions.

"Don't panic, hurry up and hug the passbook and TV at home, and leave the rest of the things alone!"

Zhao Maomao, who was anxious, grabbed his father who wanted to go out to fight the fire and shouted: "Dad, it's too late to extinguish this fire, we have to escape first!" Otherwise, when the fire spreads, we won't be able to escape! ”

Zhao Gang was still a little hesitant, and when he heard that the entire Gujing Street was already in chaos, crying and shouting, he knew that what Aiko said was not bad at all.

Zhao Maomao, who had received this kind of fire emergency training in the factory, grabbed her panicked mother and sister tightly, pushed open the courtyard gate and ran out into the narrow street.

Anyway, the old house is decades old, and there is no decent furniture at home, so Zhao Gang listened to his son's persuasion. Picking up the only valuable TV set, with his familiarity with the terrain, he escaped in a burst of smoky chaos.

Gujing Street, which covers an area of more than 10 acres, is strategically located, with Zhongshan Road, the most prosperous road in Yicheng to the north, and the railway station area with busy traffic less than 500 meters to the south. The outbreak of such a raging fire in the middle of such a downtown area quickly attracted the attention of the whole city.

Several roaring fire trucks soon arrived at Gujing Street, which was already in flames.

In September, there is already a lot of coolness in Yicheng, and there is a gentle breeze on the night close to autumn. Seeing the fire in front of them, the firefighters who commanded the scene were shocked by the situation of the fire in front of them, even if they were very experienced, and they quickly called for emergency support.

Zhao Maomao's family, like a large number of neighbors who also escaped from the panic, looked at their home in the midst of the fire from afar, and they were overwhelmed by tears in their eyes.

More crowds watched from afar, exclaiming and sighing from time to time. Such a large fire is indeed unheard of for them, who have always lived in comfort, and the scene is amazing.

The fire on Gujing Street naturally alarmed the officialdom of Yicheng, and Ma Biao, secretary of the prefectural party committee Cao Huanghuang and commissioner of the administrative department, rushed to the scene to direct the rescue as soon as possible. What makes people feel a little strange is that Xie Hongwei, secretary of the Yicheng City Party Committee, is nowhere to be seen at such a tense moment, Cao Huanghuang, secretary of the prefectural party committee, is of course angry, but Ma Biao, the commissioner of the administrative department, has a gloating look in his eyes.

After the intense work of more than a dozen fire trucks in Yicheng City and the nearby county seat of Yicheng County, it took five hours to finally extinguish the flames. The burned ruins are full of desolation, making people want to cry for a while.

At dawn, people who had been in a panic and busy all night began to look for their separated relatives.

The direct damage from the fire does not seem to be very large, after all, most of the houses in Gujing Street are old brick buildings, and most of the people living here are ordinary people with low incomes.

But when firefighters finally found the bodies of the five victims from the burned rubble, the already mournful crowd erupted in a burst of bitter weeping.

The tragedy of the Gujing Street fire quickly spread throughout the city, and people were amazed that the sudden fire caused such a catastrophe. The accident that killed five people at once made the Yicheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government very passive, not to mention facing so many civil criticisms, even the pressure from the local government also made them very uneasy.
