The fire was brought under control so quickly thanks to Wen Zhichao's foresight. He recognized the flammability of fabric and placed several water sources nearby, allowing for easy firefighting. This was something you had to have on hand, regardless of whether you needed it or not.
Haichao also rushed over after seeing off the guests.
"Madam, Du Juan and Aiguo are watching over the store. I've brought everyone here. Is there anyone you need help with?"
They were also some young and strong guys, and the girls were helping to clean up the tables, chairs and dishes in the restaurant.
"The fire has been put out. Please help clean up the scene. Be careful not to get burned."
The temperature at the fire scene is still very high, and people can only move around the scene.
Tian Nier also came with Tian Dazhuang. Tian Dazhuang didn't like to talk. When he saw the people from the hotel went to help, he also went to help.
Tian Nier couldn't help, so she stayed by Xia Ruzheng's side and asked, "Zhengzheng, are you okay?"
Xia Ruzheng's face was flushed and he was sweating, which was normal in this kind of weather.
"It's okay, I just feel hot, that's how the weather is."
"You don't feel something wrong with your stomach, do you?"
"No, I'm fine! Don't worry! By the way, have you eaten yet?"
Xia Ruzheng ate a little while the guests were having dinner, so he wasn't hungry.
Tian Nier said, "How can we still be in the mood to eat? Why don't we hurry up after seeing off the guests? Thank God, the fire is not very big."
In such hot weather, many things are dried out by the sun and can be ignited by the slightest spark. If the fire gets bigger, not only will Langzi be burned, but other factories and some residents around here will also be burned. By then, not to mention the losses, even the compensation will be too much to pay!
After Tian Nier said this, Xia Ruzheng noticed all this and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He felt lucky that the losses could now be minimized.
Awang was directing people to move things when suddenly a young man came up to him and said mysteriously, "The boss and manager of Shengli are watching us!"
Awang originally thought it was a small matter. After all, such a big thing had happened to Langzi, and it was normal for others to be curious. However, the boss and the manager were standing there, watching the excitement in the hot sun. Wasn't that too much?
Awang frowned. Every day, he wished Victory would go bankrupt and the boss and manager would be kicked out with their debts. But after cursing for so long, Victory still managed to hold on. It was truly remarkable. Of course, as someone who constantly kept a close eye on his enemies, Awang was well aware of their treacherous and vicious nature. They had stolen Langzi's blueprints in the first place, and only then did they rise to prominence. I wonder how much money they made from them! That would be fine, but they still wanted to crush Langzi. What a coward! He wished to tear them into pieces.
"Don't worry about it, go and do your thing first."
The young man walked away, but Awang was concerned about the people opposite him. He was very angry and a little confused. They were in too good a mood.
After several hours of hard work, the scene was almost cleaned up. The warehouse was burned and a wall collapsed. However, Haisheng said that it was mainly the fabrics that were burned. The ready-made garments were affected, but not seriously. This was a blessing in disguise. At least delivery should not be a problem.
Xia Ruzheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He felt stiff all over while sitting there, and it was Tian Nier who helped him stand up.
"Thank you for your hard work, Haisheng, go find someone to repair the wall. You'll have to work hard tonight and lead the others to guard it."
Haisheng said, "I understand. I've already arranged for the people, and they'll pay five dollars for one night's guarding."
Wen Zhichao's brother is really capable, saving Xia Ruzheng a lot of trouble.
"Tomorrow night, have Awang lead the men to guard the wall. This time, make sure the wall is more solid."
The wall should be repaired in two days.
Haisheng said he understood.
Awang told the women to go home and promised that their wages would not be deducted this month and that they would return to work as usual tomorrow. The women left with much discussion. They were worried about the factory's problems, worried about losing work and their wages, but Awang's words reassured them.
Wei Xiangqian was busy all the time. He only came to report to Xia Ruzheng after most of the workers had left.
Seeing Wei Xiangqian's dejected look, Xia Ruzheng guessed that nothing good was going to happen.
As expected, Wei Xiangqian knelt down before Xia Ruzheng as soon as he arrived. Xia Ruzheng was startled and hurriedly asked him to get up. Tian Nier stepped forward and pulled him a few times before Wei Xiangqian stood up. The man stood up and burst into tears: "I'm sorry, Brother Chao!"
