Chapter 52: The Rainstorm
"Tong En."
As soon as Tong En entered the restaurant, she heard Xu Hui's voice calling her, and she looked for prestige, only to see Xu Hui and Jerry sitting at a table beckoning to her.
"Didn't you go to the Lifeng meeting? Why, Ji Siming can't even take care of a meal? Xu Hui looked at Tong En, who was sweating profusely, and asked while handing her wet wipes.
Tong En didn't care about answering, took the wet wipes handed by Xu Hui, wiped the sweat on his forehead, took the water cup handed by Jerry, drank half a glass of water in one go, and then replied: "Ji Siming was called away by phone in the middle of the meeting today, it was the meeting presided over by their vice president, originally people left us to eat a working meal, I think today is not normal, I am afraid that it will rain and I will rush back there." ”
"It's not, it's too evil today, it's so stuffy that people can't breathe, and it's obviously raining, but it's just dead or alive." Xu Hui frowned and looked out the window.
"It's already September, and it's hot again, is autumn always like this here?" Jerry also looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside.
"Autumn tigers, the Chinese believe that autumn tigers are more powerful than summer. Every year after the beginning of autumn, it is basically hot for a few more days, and it is quite hot, so it is called autumn tiger. Xu Hui patiently explained to him.
"Why don't you tell the driver to stay there and wait? What should I do if I suffer from heat stroke on such a hot day? Jerry appreciates Tong En worriedly.
"It's not that serious, and I don't know how long it will take, so I let the driver come back first. Besides, it's not so hot in the morning, who knows it's going to be like this at noon. Tong En said with a hippie smile at Jerry.
"It's not because I decided that Mr. Ji will definitely send you, this time it's good, I was released by someone, and I almost became a soup pigeon." Xu Hui said jokingly, and before the words fell, she took two big health balls. She pretended not to see it, and said to Jerry to herself: "Boss, it's time to assign a car to our assistant Tong, it's so inconvenient to run like this all the time, without a car." ”
Tong En hugged his fist at Xu Hui, "Thank you, Xu Hui still feels sorry for me." ”
Xu Hui raised her head, "No, who else ...... besides me, of course, our boss feels more sorry for you, right, Jerry?" Seeing Jerry's widening eyes, Xu Hui's words immediately turned a corner.
Jerry narrowed his eyes and said to Tong En: "The report has been approved, and the car will be available soon." No way, the program is too complicated. He also apparently has a problem with the cumbersome procedure.
"Fortunately, I don't use the car too much anyway, so it's a big deal to ask the boss to be my driver." Tong Enzhen was hungry, and said to Jerry while eating.
Jerry was clearly very pleased with this kind of dispatch, "No problem, when you need to be on command." ”
Xu Hui sighed in her heart, she sympathized with Jerry too much, does this Yankee have masochistic tendencies, and he is so brave when he knows that there is no play.
The three of them finished their lunch with a laugh and prepared to go back to the office. Xu Hui inadvertently looked out of the window, almost screamed, the sky outside the window was just a little gloomy, but it didn't take a meal to eat, it was as dark as the bottom of the pot, she called Tong En happily: "Tong En, look outside, you are so wise, if you are a little later, I am afraid that you will really become a soup pigeon." ”
Tong En and Jerry looked out and gasped at the same time.
"Oh my God, how did it become like this, it seems that this rain must fall." Jerry exclaimed in surprise.
"Hurry up, the windows in the office are not closed, and it will be troublesome to really get down." Xu Hui suddenly remembered, and ran back, and Tong En and Jerry also quickened their pace to catch up.
Back in the office, Tong En checked the closed window, stood in front of the window and looked at the dark and oppressive sky outside, secretly congratulating himself on his wise decision, otherwise he would really be blocked in Lifeng Company, not to mention that Ji Siming was not there, and he stayed alone with those shareholders to chat, and he had to suffocate to death. Thinking of Ji Siming, I couldn't help but think of Zhong Yue, since the last time we broke up at the door of the house, I haven't seen him again, just took a call from him. Zhong Yue didn't mention the topic of the breakup that day on the phone, but just asked her how she was doing, told her to pay attention to rest, and then hung up the phone. Tong En just remembered his voice on the phone, and felt a warmth in his heart, it seemed that he really wanted to give him a little time, and also give himself a little time, as he said, and try to understand each other.
The sky was getting darker and darker, darker than seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and it seemed that the rain was not light. Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw scattered leaves floating outside the window, and then looked closely, I saw that the sky was full of yellow sand, and I couldn't see the tall buildings on the opposite side clearly, and the sudden wind blew the trees on both sides of the road that looked very small. The wind whined in my ears like a siren, and fine sand penetrated through the cracks in the windows, and in a few moments a layer of yellow sand was covered with a layer of yellow sand on the windowsill.
"Bang, pop ......" a few large drops of coin-sized drops of water suddenly fell on the glass, and soon one drop after another crackled into a piece, and suddenly, the wind carried the raindrops, like a raging devil in the narrow space of the city frantically through the space, for a while, lightning and thunder, a summer downpour began to begin.
Tong En felt a damp smell of earth coming from outside the window, she subconsciously took two steps back, looking at the waterfall-like rain curtain in front of her, a thought suddenly jumped into her mind, where is Zhong Yue now?
The heavy rain, which seemed to have been brewing for a long time, fell for two hours, and finally died down and gradually subsided.
Tong En sat at his desk, a book of materials spread out, and he only turned two or three pages in two hours, and he couldn't read it in a hesitant way. The dense rain curtains outside the window became sparse, and she simply closed the information, turned on the computer, and browsed through the news column at random. One of the color pictures looks very familiar, Tong En's zooming in and taking a closer look, it is the road under the office building where she is located, a tall plane tree has been blown off by the wind, and all the branches have fallen on a nearby building, and the photo clearly captures the tragic situation of the glass of the building's window being smashed by the branches.
The wind was so strong that I don't know how many city facilities were destroyed. Tong En looked at the news that had just been transmitted to the Internet one by one, and suddenly, a flashing text caught her eyes: "The construction site of the Chengxi Science and Technology Industrial Park that had just started was hit by a strong wind, and dozens of migrant workers were injured because they did not have time to escape, and the casualties are unknown for the time being."
Tong En kept scrolling through the web to find more relevant news, but no, no, except for this short text and a photo of a collapsed shed, he could not find any news about the industrial park.
There was a rush of footsteps from far and near, and before I could hear a knock, the door had been pushed open.
"Tong En, have you seen the news on the Internet? Something happened to Li Feng's construction site. Xu Hui hurriedly walked in.
Tong En nodded: "I only saw one message, and I couldn't find a detailed report." ”
Looking at Tong En in a daze, Xu Hui said anxiously: "Call Ji Siming and ask what the situation is." ”
Yes, call. Tong Enru woke up from a dream, grabbed his mobile phone and dialed the phone, "Beep, beep, beep......" The sound of the ringing rang unhurriedly in the mobile phone, but no one answered.
"Tong En, did you make a mistake? Ji Siming's mobile phone seems to be a ringtone, not this voice. Xu Hui looked at Tong En strangely, feeling that something seemed wrong with her today.
Tong En's heart suddenly jumped as soon as he looked at his mobile phone number, this was Zhong Yue's mobile phone number.
From the beginning of the rainstorm, she was uneasy, always feeling as if something had happened, and the news of the accident at the construction site of the industrial park immediately made her think of her worries. At the construction site of the industrial park, there are two companies, Li Feng and Pengfei, and Tong En subconsciously dialed Zhong Yue's phone first.
Zhong Yue didn't answer the phone, why? Could it be that he was on the construction site? Could it be that he also ......, no, no, he must be busy dealing with the scene of the accident at this moment, and he didn't hear the phone ringing, it must be like this. Tong En's heart was beating like thunder, and his mind was guessing.
As soon as Xu Hui saw Tong En's expression, she knew that she must have made the wrong call, she didn't have time to think about Tong En's abnormal performance, grabbed the phone on the table and pressed Ji Siming's mobile phone number.
As soon as the music sounded, it was connected, "Hey, Tong En, I'm Ji Siming." ”
Tong En's eyes were fixed on the phone in Xu Hui's hand. Xu Hui glanced at Tong En and said, "Mr. Ji, I'm Xu Hui, and Tong En is next to me." ”
"Oh, Hui Xu. Did you hear from the construction site? ”
"Yes, what we saw on the Internet, what is the specific situation, Mr. Ji?"
"I don't know the specifics. I'm not in the city at noon, and I'm on my way to the construction site. I have already contacted the site supervisor, the damage is not too big, and the injuries are not too serious, tell Tong En, don't worry. ”
"Really? That's great, we don't have any news here, it's really urgent. You always have to pay attention to safety that season, and tell us any news in time, okay. Xu Hui asked Tong En with her eyes as she spoke, asking her if she wanted to answer the phone.
Just when she was about to close the line, Tong En grabbed the phone and said, "Mr. Ji, is the loss really not big?" Why is it said on the Internet that the construction site was attacked? ”
Hearing Tong En's voice, Ji Siming was obviously very happy, "Li Feng's loss is indeed not big, because this time it is a southwest wind, and Li Feng's position is right behind Peng Fei." However, Pengfei's situation may not be very good, I heard that the shed where they put materials was completely swept away by the wind, and the loss should not be small. ”
"What about people, are Pengfei's casualties serious?" Tong En's heart rose to his throat.
"I don't know much about the injuries, the scene is very chaotic now, and I don't have time to count the numbers, I'll call you when I get to the scene to understand the situation, don't worry about Tong En, there won't be much loss."
"Okay, you must pay attention to safety on the road. Well, okay, goodbye. ”
As soon as he put down the phone, Jerry bumped in, "Tong En, why hasn't your phone been working?" ”
"We are calling Ji Siming, and there has been an accident at Lifeng's construction site." Xu Hui explained to Jerry.
"I was about to talk about this too, I just heard from the newspaper that there was an accident at the construction site, and one of the injured people was the CEO of the development company, and he couldn't get through to Ji, and he couldn't get through to call you, so Ji Siming was fine?" Jerry said with relief.
Tong En grabbed Jerry's arm, "One of the injured people is the CEO of the development company?" Are you sure? ”
"That's what the newspaper people said." Jerry affirmed.
"The boss of the development company, Ji Siming is fine, it's Zhong Yue, it must be Zhong Yue." Tong En's face turned white, and she stood up in a daze, looking at Jerry and Xu Hui with anxious eyes.
"I'm going to take a look, I'm going to confirm it."
"Zhong Yue? Pengfei's boss? Even if Zhong Yue is injured, why do you want to ...... Hey, Tong En, Tong En......"
Before Xu Hui could finish speaking, Tong En had already run out of the door of the office. Xu Hui and Jerry stood in place with each other looking at each other, both looking confused.
"What does Zhong Yue's accident have to do with her? Why did she ......? Xu Hui muttered at Jerry.
"Xu Hui, you go with her, it's so messy there, don't do anything." Jerry said anxiously.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her." Xu Hui said that he would go after Tong En.
