Chapter 36036 Accident
Yu Zeyuan struggled to wake up from his drowsy dream, feeling a splitting headache. He rubbed his forehead with his hand, paused for a moment, stood up, and walked towards the bathroom.
I dazedly turned the door lock and walked in—
Xue Yi was standing behind the door changing clothes, wearing only a piece of underwear on her upper body. Her fair and smooth skin and graceful back lines were exposed to the view without any cover.
Yu Zeyuan froze, his mind going blank.
The next second, he turned around quickly, his ears burning red, and he spoke incoherently in a panic: "S-Sorry! I didn't see... No, I didn't know you were in there!"
The door was closed gently.
Yu Zeyuan leaned against the wall, his heart beating like a drum. His mind flashed uncontrollably back to the image he had just caught a glimpse of. She looked so thin, and her figure was surprisingly...
He quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of these inappropriate thoughts.
Xue Yi quickly regained her composure and walked out of the bathroom calmly, as if the embarrassing scene had never happened.
At this moment, she has changed into a high-quality solid-color shirt and beige suit pants, looking smart and refreshing.
Yu Zeyuan lowered his head, avoiding her gaze, not daring to meet Xue Yi's gaze.
He turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on his burning cheeks, trying to quench the restlessness in his heart. After finally calming down and coming out of the bathroom, the air was filled with the aroma of coffee.
Xue Yi was pouring ground coffee beans into the coffee maker. When she saw him come out, she pointed at the cup next to her with her chin and said, "This is yours."
Yu Zeyuan picked it up, smelled it, and took a sip. The warm and sweet honey water moistened his dry throat, and a warmth spread in his heart.
Xue Yi suddenly spoke, her tone devoid of emotion, "Do you still remember what happened last night?"
Yu Zeyuan was stunned for a moment, trying hard to recall, but unfortunately he could only catch some vague fragments. He asked blankly, "What happened?"
Xue Yi turned around, her eyes wandering over him: "You really don't remember?"
I am always well-behaved when I am drunk. I usually fall asleep until dawn and nothing goes wrong.
Did yesterday...
Yu Zeyuan's heart skipped a beat and he frowned nervously, "What on earth happened?"
Xue Yi looked at his nervous expression, and suddenly raised her lips, stepping closer, "Last night, you kept holding my hand tightly, and kept shouting..."
She deliberately stretched out her tone, moving closer and closer, stopping when she was only half a step away from him.
Yu Zeyuan's heart was in his throat, and he held his breath unconsciously. He asked in a dry voice, "Shout, what are you yelling for?"
"Ding——" the coffee machine made a crisp prompt sound.
Xue Yi smiled meaningfully, turned around slowly, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said slowly, "Call me... Mom."
Yu Zeyuan's face darkened instantly, the original embarrassment was replaced by teasing anger. He tightly grasped the cup in his hand and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Xue, Yi!"
Xue Yi didn't get angry but laughed, jokingly saying, "You can call me sister, of course, if you insist on calling me mom, I don't object."
Yu Zeyuan was so angry that he raised his head and drank the remaining honey water in one gulp. He put the cup heavily on the table, pushed open the entrance door, and walked out without looking back.
Xue Yi looked at his furious back and put away her smile.
This kid really can't stand being teased.

Lin Wei was worried the whole morning. Today was the deadline for the bet, and she had barely completed half of the ten phone invitations. She was afraid that Xue Yi would come and cause trouble.
As a result, what you fear will come true.
Just as she was making a phone call with everyone else, Li Xiu patted her shoulder and whispered, "Manager Xue wants to see you."
Lin Wei stood up very reluctantly, her heart was in turmoil, but then she thought, at worst she could just apologize, since she had already said the harsh words, and it wouldn't hurt anything.
She walked to the door with a 'death-readiness' mentality.
In fact, Xue Yi was not here to cause trouble.
Everyone has noticed the changes in Lin Wei in the past few days. Even Li Xiu praised her for being like a different person. Although she is still spoiled, she is not a bad person at heart.
Xue Yi deliberately put on a threatening face and said to her, "Follow me."
Lin Wei didn't dare to say much and followed behind him obediently when they walked out of the company and arrived at the elevator.
She was confused. Did she have to go out of her way to apologize?
The elevator goes directly to the underground garage, and the driver Wang Wei has been waiting for a long time.
The two of them got into the car one after the other. Lin Wei finally couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going? Does this count as missing work?"
Xue Yi almost laughed at her. This young lady actually cared about attendance. It seemed that the transformation in the past few days was not in vain. "I have reported to Supervisor Li and will take you on the field work."
Lin Wei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can I go out on field work too?"
"It's not allowed according to the rules, but I'll make an exception for you today."
Lin Wei squinted her eyes in satisfaction, like a cat being stroked. "Then what should I do?"
Xue Yi said calmly: "You just need to follow me."

After an hour's bumpy journey, the car stopped at the gate of a remote factory.
In mid-July, the sun is at its hottest at ten o'clock in the morning, scorching the earth like a fireball.
Not long after getting off the car, Lin Wei couldn't stand the heat anymore. She fanned herself with her hands and began to miss the air conditioning in the office.
She had imagined field work to be talking in an air-conditioned conference room, but she hadn't expected to be exposed to the sun in such a remote place.
"Don't you think it looks familiar?"
Lin Wei looked up at the sign in front of her: "Ronghui Food Processing Factory".
Hey, isn’t this the factory she called the day before yesterday and finally agreed to give a fire safety lecture at?
So this is what it looks like!
She muttered quietly, taking in the shabby surroundings. "So, you're going to come here in person to give a speech today?"
Xue Yi led her around to an open space in the factory, "It's not me, it's him."
Not far away, Yu Zeyuan was preaching under the scorching sun without any shelter, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the shirt on his back was already soaked and stuck tightly to his back.
But he was completely unaware of it. Facing the workers sitting around him, he carefully explained health and first aid knowledge. His expression was more serious than ever before, with none of his usual impatience.
"It's Brother Aze!"
"Keep your voice down."
The scorching summer sun fell on Yu Zeyuan, as if it had coated him with a layer of gold, and his whole body was shining.
Lin Wei was involuntarily attracted by the strange yet familiar figure in front of her, and even the scorching sunlight didn't seem so unbearable.
Seeing the time was right, Xue Yi explained, "This is our daily work. After the presentation, we usually recommend our company's security products to these businesses and institutions to achieve sales. This is an indispensable process that connects the upper and lower levels. Therefore, your job is the most crucial position in the entire company."
Sometimes a thousand words are not as real as a personal experience. Only in this way can you truly understand the importance and value of this job.
Before this, Lin Wei was only thinking about the bet with Xue Yi, and never thought that this seemingly insignificant telephone sales would have such a big effect.
The lecture was coming to an end, so they went back to the lounge to wait.
I have to say that this factory is indeed simple. The only air conditioner is the oldest model. Even if it is set to the lowest temperature, the room is still stuffy.
"How did you and Yu Zeyuan know each other?" Xue Yi suddenly broke the silence.
Lin Wei raised her head in surprise and raised her chin proudly: "We grew up together."
"You should know him well, right?"
"Of course. From childhood to adulthood, there are few things about him that I don't know."
"Oh~" Xue Yi nodded meaningfully, "Then you must also know about his mother?"
Lin Wei's face changed, and her eyes flickered. "Brother Aze, did he even tell you this?" Then she bit her lip, her tone wary and warning: "I'm telling you, don't think that just because he told you this, you can enter the Yu family!"
"What happened to their family?"
"you do not know?"
Lin Wei was silent for a moment, then lowered her voice cautiously. "It's nothing, it's just that his family isn't harmonious. Don't be fooled by Brother Aze always wearing designer clothes. He's actually very poor. He earned all that money through hard work. He's suffering for wanting to save face. He has no money, and his family has even less!"
Xue Yi saw her trying to hide her true intentions but didn't expose her. He just followed her and said, "Oh, I'm just a boss who cares about his subordinates."
"Thank you for your concern. Brother Aze is doing very well."
Lin Wei was afraid that she would ask more questions, so she lowered her head and pretended to check her phone.
Xue Yi didn't ask any more questions. After these indirect hints, she probably had the answer in her mind. Yu Zeyuan's background was probably not simple. His family was complicated and he had been unpopular since childhood. As for the specific situation, it still needed to be slowly explored.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Yu Zeyuan finished his presentation, opened the door to the lounge, and prepared to pack up his equipment. He was visibly taken aback when he saw the two of them. "Why are you here?"
Lin Wei said excitedly: "We..."
Xue Yi spoke first: "We happened to be doing some business nearby and stopped by to take a look."
Yu Zeyuan was still sulking about what happened in the morning and just nodded.
Lin Wei was full of doubts. They had clearly taken an hour-long drive just to come and see him, so why were they hiding it?
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, packed up their equipment together.
Suddenly someone rushed in from outside and shouted:
"Oh no! Someone fainted from heatstroke!"
The temperature was nearly 40 degrees Celsius, and there were only a few old ceiling fans turning weakly in the narrow workshop, which was as stuffy as a steamer.
A middle-aged female worker collapsed in a chair, gasping for breath, her face pale. Her fellow workers gathered around her, anxious and at a loss as to what to do.
Xue Yi stepped forward calmly and asked, "Have you called 120?"
"Hit, hit!"
"Everyone, spread out and keep the air fresh! Lin Wei, go find a cold towel!"
She quickly looked around, pulled over a large blanket and spread it on the ground. Yu Zeyuan immediately understood and tacitly helped her carry the female worker to a ventilated place and lay her flat.
Lin Wei hurried over, "The towel is here!"
Xue Yi first placed a cold towel on the woman's forehead, neatly unbuttoned her collar to help dissipate heat, and then leaned over to whisper in her ear. Seeing the woman's weak breathing, profuse sweating, and unconsciousness, he immediately tilted her head to one side to prevent vomitus from blocking her airway and began CPR without hesitation.
After more than ten minutes of intense and orderly first aid, the female worker's breathing finally gradually stabilized, and the sound of the ambulance siren came from far away.
After the medical staff arrived and inspected the scene, they praised their professional and timely emergency response. The factory managers and workers also surrounded them, expressing their gratitude in words.
At this moment, Lin Wei and Yu Zeyuan also deeply realized the significance of this job.
On the way back, Lin Wei couldn't help but ask, "Why were you so calm just now? Aren't you scared?"
"If you are afraid, you may lose your life."
"Right, that should be the fourth one, right?" Driver Wang Wei interjected. "Last summer, on the way back from a field trip, we encountered an elderly man suffering from heatstroke. Supervisor Xue rushed to give him first aid and even got vomited all over himself!"
Lin Wei frowned when she heard this, "Doesn't that mean I have to kiss the old man?"
Xue Yi remained calm and said, "When it comes to saving people, there is no distinction between men and women."
Her admiration for Xue Yi increased a little more.
Xue Yi looked at her and said, "It was because of your invitation call that the female worker was saved today. It also enabled 25 workers in the factory to learn life-saving first aid knowledge. Don't you feel proud of this alone?"
Lin Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, after saying this, I felt like I had saved someone invisibly. Instantly, I felt like I had been injected with chicken blood. I felt that this position had become much more sacred. I raised my hand and clenched my fist: "I will continue to work hard and do my best!"
Unexpectedly, the next day, the factory director personally came to the company with a banner to solemnly thank them for their heroic act of saving lives the day before.
This incident caused quite a stir in the company.
That afternoon, Chairman Xu, who rarely appears in public, also came to the company. Although he is over 60 years old, he is still energetic, with a dignity of years between his brows, which makes people respect him.
Everyone in the company gathered. Director Xu looked around and his eyes fell on Xue Yi. "I heard that you took the lead in rescuing a worker who had heatstroke yesterday?"
Xue Yi had always idolized Mr. Xu. Seeing him arrive, she was deeply moved. She spoke modestly, "Mr. Xu, this wasn't all my achievement. Lin Wei, Yu Zeyuan, and every colleague who was present at the time also contributed."
Lin Wei took the opportunity to take credit: "Yes, yes, I was running too fast to find a towel and my leg was bruised!"
Director Xu nodded approvingly. "Well done, you're all great! But you must guard against arrogance and impatience. Keep it up!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will."
"Well, I'm not here just for this matter. It's mainly for the annual charity event to help students in poor mountainous areas."
As soon as these words came out, many colleagues lowered their heads and avoided his sight.
This annual public welfare tradition essentially involves visiting remote mountainous areas to offer support and comfort. The conditions are extremely harsh, with no internet signal and even bathing water requires traveling miles to fetch. Colleagues who have gone once complain bitterly and are reluctant to return; it has become a drudgery that everyone avoids.
Director Xu's gaze finally fell on Xue Yi, who looked frank. "This time, Xue Yi from the Health Department will take the lead. Liu Maosheng from the Fire Department will also go."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Director Xu's voice again: "And... Yu Zeyuan, you go too."
