"Something happened at the cement plant," Huo Beixiao replied, picking her up in his arms. "Honey, you've had a long day, so don't work anymore. I'll take you home to rest."
Huo Beixiao didn't take her back to the cement factory's family compound, but instead took her to Yiren Clothing.
He said he was worried about her being alone in the family compound without anyone to take care of her.
But judging from his expression, Yang Qiaoqiao knew that what had happened at the cement plant was probably something serious.
He probably didn't take her home to the family compound because he was afraid that the employees' families there would take their anger out on her because of the cement factory incident.
In the afternoon, the shop is usually not very busy.
Therefore, only one person was scheduled to be on duty in the afternoon, and today it was Luo Yingzi's turn.
Although Yang Qiaoqiao was worried about the situation at the cement plant, she also knew that given her current physical condition, she would not only be unable to help but would also cause trouble for Huo Beixiao.
He tried his best to calm himself down and accompanied Luo Yingzi to the shop to drink tea and read books.
When Luo Yingzi returned from Shanghai, she brought back a lot of books on sales and management, which she has been reading whenever she has free time.
If she sees anything she doesn't understand, she usually waits for Yang Qiaoqiao to come to the store and asks her for advice when she has time.
This afternoon, taking advantage of the good time, she naturally brought up all the questions she had accumulated before and consulted with Yang Qiaoqiao for discussion.
Yang Qiaoqiao sat in the shop, anxious and worried, while Luo Yingzi felt that time flew by.
As the sun set, she glanced at her watch and suddenly realized, "Wow, time flies, it's almost seven o'clock."
"Sister Qiaoqiao, did I delay your journey home?" Luo Yingzi asked somewhat apologetically.
The store closes at 6 p.m.
In the past, if Yang Qiaoqiao was in the store, she would usually remind them to start packing up and prepare to close up and go home at 5:30.
Yang Qiaoqiao forced a smile. "No, I'll stay at the shop tonight."
The rooms on the second floor were already full.
But after Luo Yingzi got married, she moved to Xu Yizhou's place, and her old room became empty.
Luo Yingzi was a little confused. Why did Sister Qiao Qiao suddenly want to stay at the shop?
Did she have a fight with Beixiao?
No way! When Brother Beixiao brought Sister Qiaoqiao to the store just now, he was so gentle and considerate.
The two had such a good relationship that even she, a newlywed, felt envious.
How could they have argued?
However, whether it's the shop or the residential compound, it's all Qiaoqiao's own property, so she can't really interfere.
It was only then that she remembered that Xu Yizhou had promised to pick her up from get off work today, so why hadn't he come yet?
She jokingly said to Yang Qiaoqiao, "Sister Qiaoqiao, I think I should really send Lao Xu to be trained by Brother Beixiao. Look how considerate Brother Beixiao is to you. And look at Lao Xu, we've only been married a short time, and he's already starting to break his promises. He said he'd pick me up from get off work today, and it's already so late, and there's still no sign of him."
Upon hearing Luo Yingzi's words, Yang Qiaoqiao's already anxious heart leaped into her throat.
Xu Yizhou is a community doctor, and the cement factory is located within the community he is responsible for.
What exactly happened at the cement plant that even Dr. Xu Yizhou is so busy?
She felt she couldn't wait there any longer.
Yang Qiaoqiao propped herself up and said, "Yingzi, Beixiao said something happened at the cement factory. Yizhou probably didn't break his promise and not come to pick you up, but he's busy with things at the cement factory and can't get away."
“Come with me to the cement factory,” Yang Qiaoqiao said, grabbing Luo Yingzi’s hand.
Luo Yingzi was still a little confused. "Something happened at the cement factory. What's Lao Xu so busy with?"
She realized what she had said as soon as she uttered it.
There has been a safety accident at the cement plant, and it must be serious.
Luo Yingzi quickly helped Yang Qiaoqiao up, "Sister Qiaoqiao, don't worry, I'll go with you right away."
Before Yang Qiaoqiao and Luo Yingzi even arrived at the cement factory, they could hear the wailing of police sirens and ambulance horns from a distance.
Yang Qiaoqiao's already panicked heart almost jumped out of her chest at this moment.
Luo Yingzi had never seen such a large-scale commotion before, and she was so anxious that she almost cried. "What on earth happened? Why are there so many police officers here?!"
Yang Qiaoqiao calmed herself down and pulled Luo Yingzi into the factory. "Yingzi, let's go in."
As soon as the two arrived at the factory gate, they ran into Yang Hongying, who was coming out of the factory.
Yang Hongying was stunned for a moment when she saw Yang Qiaoqiao and Luo Yingzi, then quickly walked over to them and said, "Qiaoqiao, Yingzi, what brings you two here at this time?"
Hurry up, hurry up...
"Sister-in-law, what happened at the factory? Why are you here too?" Luo Yingzi asked, even more anxiously than Yang Qiaoqiao.
Although Yang Qiaoqiao didn't speak, her eyes were fixed on Yang Hongying nervously.
"Come on, let's go talk over there, there are too many people here." Yang Hongying pulled the two of them to the side.
He glanced at their tense and worried faces, then sighed and said, "There was a safety accident. A large truck that had just driven in to load cement suddenly went out of control."
They rushed straight into the factory's dormitory building, hitting several buildings and breaking two pillars. Half of the building collapsed, burying some people underneath.
They're doing a rescue operation inside right now!
After Yang Hongying finished speaking, she specifically instructed Yang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, you absolutely must not go in now. Several men in our residential compound have had accidents and are inside."
They're all very emotional right now. It would be troublesome if they saw you do something irrational.
Yang Qiaoqiao felt a bit dazed after hearing Yang Hongying's description of the accident scene.
She couldn't imagine the consequences of such a major safety accident and the subsequent accountability measures.
However, she also knew in her heart that she really couldn't go into the factory at this time, and couldn't cause any more trouble for Huo Beixiao.
Just as she calmed down and was about to leave, she saw Lin Xiaohui and Song Lixiang also rushing towards the cement factory gate.
Yang Hongying and Luo Yingzi quickly stopped the two.
Lin Xiaohui saw that Yang Qiaoqiao visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
She held Yang Qiaoqiao's hand tightly, "Qiaoqiao, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here..."
Song Lixiang then asked Yang Hongying and Luo Yingzi, "Sister-in-law, Yingzi, what exactly happened? Everyone outside is saying that something big happened at the cement factory, and the boss has been arrested."
Yang Hongying recounted what had happened at the cement plant to Lin Xiaohui and Song Lixiang.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaohui's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.
The truck hit many people, and the houses collapsed, burying people. How many people must have been injured, and how much responsibility must have been taken!
Yang Qiaoqiao quickly supported her, "Mom, how are you? Are you alright?"
Seeing that Yang Qiaoqiao remained calm, Lin Xiaohui finally calmed down.
She reached out and patted Yang Qiaoqiao's hand that was supporting her, saying, "It's okay, Mom's okay, Qiaoqiao, don't worry. Let's go home first."
