As the morning light filtered through the thin clouds, illuminating the sprawling Jiang family estate, the bustling atmosphere of preparations for the family business's centennial celebration filled the air. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen arrived early, traversing the various venues, meticulously inspecting every detail. Workers raced against time to set up the stage and hang the colorful lights, while gardeners meticulously trimmed the flowers and plants, striving to ensure the entire estate presented in its most perfect state for the grand ceremony.
However, even as everything seemed to be going smoothly, an unexpected event quietly struck. In the early morning, the clear sky suddenly became overcast, a howling wind swept in, and raindrops as big as bullets fell. This sudden downpour instantly turned the estate into a swamp, throwing the busy site preparation team into disarray.
Jiang Zhi stood under the eaves of the manor, gazing anxiously at the torrential downpour. The massive, meticulously designed flower shed, intended to serve as the centerpiece of the celebration, was teetering under the fierce wind. The colorful silk fabrics on the roof, soaked by the rain, drooped heavily, some even ripped by the strong wind. The neatly arranged tables and chairs were blown to and fro, many sinking into the mud. Worse still, the precious photographs and display panels showcasing the family business's history were also in danger of being damaged by the rain.
"Hurry, everyone, go rescue those important exhibits first!" Jiang Zhi shouted loudly, ignoring the rain that soaked his clothes, and rushed into the rain to command everyone. Shen Qingchen quickly followed. While helping to prop up the fallen tables and chairs, he urgently deployed manpower into the intercom: "Security team, come to support immediately and move those display boards and cultural relics to a safe place indoors! Maintenance personnel, quickly check the circuits and stage facilities to ensure there are no safety hazards!"
Led by Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, everyone worked together to battle the torrential downpour. Workers scrambled to the shed, attempting to reinforce it, but the wind and rain were so intense that every effort seemed arduous. Security personnel repeatedly navigated the rain, carefully transporting the precious exhibits to the manor's main building. However, despite their best efforts, damage was inevitable. The shed ultimately succumbed to the combined force of the wind and rain, collapsing with a resounding thud, sending up a cloud of dust and water, leaving the scene in ruins.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at the airport, the team responsible for hosting the important guest received heartbreaking news. A leading international industry figure, who should have been a highly anticipated guest at the celebration, was stranded at a transit station due to inclement weather delays. His connecting flight was repeatedly delayed, and he was highly likely to miss the event. This guest held a high profile in the international business community and was crucial to the numerous international partnerships the Jiang Group hoped to secure during its centennial celebration. His absence would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the overall event's impact and subsequent business development.
Jiang Zhi's face became solemn when she heard the news. She quickly exchanged glances with Shen Qingchen, and a flash of anxiety flashed in both of their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "We can't let these accidents disrupt our plans. We must find a way to solve it immediately." Jiang Zhi clenched his fists and said in a firm tone.
Shen Qingchen immediately dialed the airline's customer service number. Although the line was noisy and busy, and the waiting tone kept echoing, he remained patient and explained the urgency of the situation to the customer service staff over and over again: "Hello, I am Shen Qingchen from the Jiang Group. We have an extremely important centenary celebration for our family business today. A distinguished guest is taking your flight, and now due to a delay, he may not arrive on time. This is of vital importance to us. I hope you can do everything you can to assist us in solving this problem. Whether it is to arrange other flights or provide special connecting channels, we are willing to bear all reasonable expenses."
While Shen Qingchen was urgently communicating with the airline, Jiang Zhi was also busy. She gathered the core members of the preparatory team and quickly brainstormed to discuss remedial measures for the damaged venue. "Everyone, calm down and think about what resources we have available and how to restore the venue to a condition suitable for the celebration as quickly as possible." Jiang Zhi's voice was steady and powerful, injecting a shot of confidence into everyone present.
After hearing the news, Xiao Rui and Xiao You rushed to the scene. Xiao Rui looked at the chaotic venue with a frown on his face, but his mind was racing. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Mom and Dad, I have an idea. Haven't we worked with a large local event rental company before? They must have spare flower sheds and decorative materials in their warehouse. We can contact them right away and see if we can rent some urgently to set up the display area first."
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen exchanged a glance, a hint of relief in their eyes. Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "Xiao Rui, this is a good idea. Go contact them immediately and make sure the necessary supplies are shipped here as quickly as possible." After receiving the instructions, Xiao Rui immediately took out his phone and called the owner of the rental company, explaining the urgency of the situation in detail. Fortunately, the owner was also straightforward. Upon hearing that it was an urgent matter for the Jiang Group, he immediately agreed to cooperate fully and immediately arranged for personnel to count the inventory and prepare for shipment.
Xiaoyou was also busy. She knew the importance of guests to the celebration, especially the international guest's absence, which would be a huge regret. After thinking for a moment, she said to Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, "Mom and Dad, since that important guest might not be able to make it, can we prepare some online interactive sessions in advance so that he can participate in the celebration via video link? This will not only make up for his regret of not being able to attend in person, but also demonstrate our ability to be flexible and adaptable to the outside world. Moreover, we can also invite a few more backup guests and add some temporary programs to enrich the content of the celebration and distract everyone from the absence of the main guest."
