Instead, there was a girl who was about the same age as Zhou Mo.
"Where is Xiao Sunren?" Zhou Mo asked.
The girl looked up and replied with a smile, "Director Qi asked him to go home and rest. I'll take his place."
"Who are you……"
"My name is Wu Xiaohui. Secretary Qin sent me here to help Director Qi," Wu Xiaohui said. "You must be Zhou Mo, right? Director Qi left some food for you. It's over there. There's a microwave in the office next door. You can heat it up."
Zhou Mo turned around and saw a box lunch on a small table behind him which was used for eating.
"Thank you," Zhou Mo said.
"Don't thank me, thank Director Qi instead."
"……Um."
Zhou Mo walked to the table, took the lunch box, heated it up in the microwave, then returned to his office and sat at the small table to eat.
She didn't want to delay her work, so she ate a little quickly.
Wu Xiaohui saw this and reminded him, "Xiao Zhou, eat slowly. There's no rush. The situation in Manshan is much more stable now, and we don't get as many calls anymore. You can go home after get off work this afternoon and come back tomorrow morning."
"But if I'm on duty..."
"Don't worry, there are still four young men and Xiao Sun. We have more people, so we can switch over."
Zhou Mo turned around and looked at the boys who were answering the phone and taking notes seriously, and he felt a lot more comforted.
As expected, there is strength in numbers.
After Zhou Mo finished his meal, he returned to work.
Today is no longer as busy as yesterday, and Zhou Mo has time to look at his phone.
Han Chen replied to her in the morning with only one sentence: Everything is fine.
No more reply.
Zhou Mo thought to herself that Han Chen didn't want to tell her at all that he had gone to the front line.
Han Chen certainly didn't expect that she, who works at the information investigation station, could understand the situation on the front line by answering and making calls from all parties every day.
Zhou Mo cursed in his heart:
Stinky man.
Always report good news and never bad news.
Do you really think she knows nothing?
It's almost time to get off work in the afternoon.
Zhou Mo planned to leave after answering the last call.
I didn't expect it was a call from the dispatching station.
The person who called was Pang Yuan again.
"Is Director Qi here?"
"He's not here," Zhou Mo said. "He was called away by Secretary Qin. He's probably in a meeting at the Health Bureau now. What do you want to see him about?"
"No wonder he didn't answer my call. Over here... hey, those Dongda students started making trouble again, and Qi Yan almost got into a fight with them."
"What's going on?"
"It's Ren Huaibo and his gang who look down on the students from the vocational and technical college, saying they're only from a junior college. They're putting them down like that. Who would feel good about that? They're all hot-blooded young men, and that's how they got into this?"
"It didn't get out of hand, did it? Where's Qi Yan? Is everything alright?"
"It's okay. I asked someone to stop them. Now they don't dare to work with two groups together. Ren Huaibo and his team have been working for more than a day, so I asked them to go back and rest and come back tomorrow. But this matter can't be put off until tomorrow. What if they come and make trouble tomorrow? Wouldn't that delay things?"
"I'll contact Director Qi right now," Zhou Mo said, "Thank you for keeping an eye on it over there."
"It's nothing. When you can contact him, can you please ask Director Qi if he can find someone to replace me? I haven't had much rest in a few days and I really can't take it anymore."
"Okay, I'll ask."
Zhou Mo quickly called the office of the Health Bureau and learned that Qi Tan was still in a meeting.
It seemed that the meeting would not be over for a while, so Zhou Mo asked the people in the office to tell Qi Tan to call the dispatch station or the information dispatch center after the meeting was over.
Hang up the phone.
Zhou Mo packed up and prepared to go home.
However, the phone that had just been hung up rang again.
Zhou Mo quickly picked up the phone, and this time it was Pang Yuan again.
"Xiao Zhou, have you contacted Director Qi? Qi Yan was beaten. Ask him to come over quickly."
"What's going on?!"
"Ren Huaibo's group didn't leave. They blocked Qi Yan at the dispatch station entrance, and an argument broke out between the two. Ren Huaibo's group outnumbered them... Qi Yan was injured... but not seriously. I gave him some simple treatment."
"Ren Huaibo and the others...how dare they do that?"
Don’t you know that Qi Yan is Qi Tan’s younger brother?
Zhou Mo said anxiously: "I'll go over and take a look later."
When she came, she had not forgotten Shen Qingyi's instructions, that she must keep an eye on Qi Yan.
Zhou Mo quickly packed up his things, said hello to Wu Xiaohui, and hurried to the dispatch station.
Dispatching station.
At the warehouse door.
Police officers have already arrived and learned that the two parties involved in the trouble are Director Feng’s nephew and Director Qi’s younger brother.
Choose the lesser of two evils.
Qi Tan is from the health department, not the public security department, so to them, his importance is naturally not as important as Director Feng's.
Even though Ren Huaibo and his gang used their numbers to bully the weak, the police simply "mediated" the situation and verbally persuaded them not to fight again.
Chunchun is trying to smooth things over.
When Zhou Mo arrived, he saw several people surrounding Ren Huaibo, seemingly trying to comfort him, asking him not to worry about it, saying that it was not a big deal and there was no need to make himself so upset, and that they would drive them back later.
On the other hand, on Qi Yan's side, only Pang Yuan was there, still observing the injuries on his face, fearing that Qi Yan might have an accident.
"Senior Sister," Qi Yan, with his sharp eyes, was the first to see Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo closed the car door, turned his head and glanced coldly at Ren Huaibo and his gang, then walked to Qi Yan.
"Where are you injured? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Zhou Mo asked worriedly.
"They are all minor issues," Qi Yan said without any concern.
Zhou Mo glanced at him, but his gaze was fixed on the red and swollen corners of his lips and the side of his face, where the skin on his brow bone was also broken.
It really makes me feel uneasy.
"What are you capable of? They have only a few men, and you only a few? Do you really have to fight them head-on?"
"Be a grown man, don't be a coward. If they have the guts, just beat me to death."
Zhou Mo glared at Qi Yan coldly, wishing he could slap him on the head, so as to knock out some new thoughts from his reckless and unresponsive head.
Qi Yan shut up awkwardly and changed the subject, "Why didn't my brother come?"
"You know to call for help now? What were you doing before?" Zhou Mo glared at him.
"..." Qi Yan: "Is he coming or not?"
"Don't you understand what's going on? Your brother is so busy, and you're still messing around here."
"Why am I so confused? It was clearly Ren Huaibo and the others who started the trouble."
Zhou Mo has a headache.
This young master has absolutely no idea what "prioritizing" means, nor does he understand what "taking a step back opens up a new world" means.
If it wasn't an emergency, under normal circumstances, Qi Yan would be fine with whatever he did.
The key point now is that if something goes wrong, it will become a hidden danger or an impact on disaster relief.
If the transportation of a batch of important materials is really affected and several people happen to lose their lives as a result, even if a god comes, he cannot save Qi Tan.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Let's go home first, okay?" Zhou Mo advised.
