White Chocolate
Yi Ning curled the corners of his lips and smiled even more happily: "You have to take the medicine obediently, and your illness will get better."
They didn't seem to be familiar enough to speak in such a tone. Wu Siqi frowned slightly and responded with a chuckle, "That's the end of today's arrangements. If there are no other problems, I'll take you downstairs."
"I want to go and take a look on site. We brought our own instruments, and I want to see if the cable jack over there can be used." Yi Ning waved his hand holding the file bag.
Seeing Wu Siqi's confusion, she added, "Our instruments were purchased overseas, and the voltage and interface are somewhat different from those in China. We've encountered situations where they didn't work on site before, so it's better to confirm."
"That's true." Wu Siqi didn't want to see any more unexpected situations. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Yi Ning, "I'm sending you the address of the on-site navigation system and the phone number of our on-site colleague. Call her and she'll pick you up."
Yi Ning's phone rang four times. After she sent the message, she jumped to Xu Tingting's chat page and was about to tell her about picking someone up to go to the scene. Xu Tingting called again.
Wu Siqi: "What's wrong again?"
Xu Tingting was extremely anxious, and the background noise was also very noisy: "Teacher, the foreman stopped work and started making trouble as soon as he heard that their project payment would be deducted as compensation. When can you come over? I don't know what to do now."
Wu Siqi: "Call Engineer Chen and ask if their activities are over yet. Have their engineering team come over to help. Please ask them to wait aside first."
With a sigh, Wu Siqi said, "Don't let them touch anything on the scene again."
Xu Tingting: "Okay," she was interrupted by a male voice in the background. "Hey, are you done with your call? We just burned out the small screen, and you're still asking for this and that. I've been in this business for so long and haven't taken on such a troublesome project. Let me tell you, if you dare to deduct a single cent from me for the final payment, I'll make you suffer."
Xu Tingting must have put down her phone, and her voice became softer. "We are also acting in accordance with the contract. If the project is damaged or delayed and the losses are caused, you need to compensate according to the price! We are now in a society ruled by law, and you can't justify it by making a fuss." Sister Jin's voice also came out intermittently from the microphone, arguing with the other party.
She picked up the phone again and asked Wu Siqi: "Teacher, I really need you, wuwuwuwu."
Wu Siqi looked at his watch and said, "Give me twenty minutes. I'll take a taxi now."
Xu Tingting: "Wuwuwu, teacher, come and save me."
Wu Siqi bowed slightly in apology. "I'm sorry, there was a problem on site. Please send me the sockets and voltages of your instruments and I'll check them for you."
"I'm sorry, it's a bit urgent. I can't take you downstairs. I'll press the elevator for you. This way, please."
After saying that, she turned sideways and led the way towards the elevator.
"I heard what was said on the phone. I drove here and I'll take you there. It will take a lot of time for you to take a taxi or wait for another one." Yi Ning took out the car keys from his pocket and shook them.
The situation was urgent, so Wu Siqi didn't hesitate. "Okay, thank you. Wait for me at the elevator. I'll go back and get my bag."
He picked up the bag from his workstation, found the contract he had signed with the engineering team, and walked to the elevator. Yi Ning held the briefcase in one hand in his trouser pocket, typed on his phone with the other, and leaned his head against the wall.
This pretty and lovely girl is about the same age as Xu Tingting, 24 years old, but not as childish as Xu Tingting. She gave her a sense of security in the short time they knew each other.
She must have felt someone approaching, she raised her head with a smile in her eyes. Wu Siqi narrowed his eyes, narrowed his vision, and drew a pair of small ears on her head, which made it look more perfect.
Curling his lips and laughing at himself for being able to crack a joke in such an emergency, Wu Siqi said, "Sorry for the long wait." He pressed the elevator button.
"How can this be considered long?" After saying this in a low voice, Yi Ning walked into the elevator. After Wu Siqi swiped her card, he rushed to her wall and turned on the light on the basement floor. "My car is parked in the basement."
Wu Siqi saw that her face reflected in the elevator door was too serious, and her already cold eyebrows and eyes looked even more frosty. At this time, a mature adult should say something polite to express her gratitude to Yi Ning, but she had no energy or energy.
Yi Ning took the initiative to speak: "The construction team is just causing trouble. If all else fails, just call the police and have them driven away. Don't be too nervous."
"I'm fine, thank you." Wu Siqi was very tired and his tone was a little heavy.
Yi Ning's pocket was like a treasure bag. She took out a white chocolate and said, "Something sweet will make you feel better."
Moving her eyes over, she saw the white chocolate lying in Yi Ning's palm. It was a brand she often bought, and there was still half a pack in the refrigerator at home.
Wu Siqi followed his own wishes and took it from her palm. "Thank you, what a coincidence, I also like this brand of chocolate."
Yi Ning: "I see, what a coincidence, I didn't expect our tastes to be so compatible."
After tearing open the package, the sweetness seeped into my tongue, and my mood improved. My pace following Yi Ning became a little easier.
Yi Ning got into the car first. Wu Siqi hesitated for a moment between the back seat and the passenger seat, then opened the passenger door. Yi Ning had turned on the air conditioner in the car with the remote control in advance. The temperature inside the car was just right, with a faint fragrance.
The smell was a little familiar, but he couldn't tell what it was. Yi Ning drove very steadily, neither slowly nor hurriedly out of the garage, and drove to the event site according to the navigation instructions.
During this period, Wu Siqi made several phone calls, borrowed a new display screen from someone, contacted Engineer Chen again to confirm whether their engineering team could come to help, and reported the emergency to his boss, Boss Cui.
Yi Ning was concentrating on driving and didn't talk to Wu Siqi on the way. After she finished the call, the car was quiet.
The drive wasn't far, only about ten minutes in total. Wu Siqi glanced at the navigation and saw that there were still three kilometers and five minutes left. He folded his hands on his bag and observed Yi Ning and her car.
There was no decoration in the car, not even a mobile phone charging cable, unlike the common commuting tools. Looking at her profile, her eyes were round and almond-shaped, with slightly upturned corners. Her big eyes were particularly bright, with a slightly hump nose and small and delicate lips. She was really a beautiful girl.
When Wu Siqi's eyes slid to her lips, her master asked her softly, "Is there something on my face?"
Being caught alive, he retracted his gaze and said in a serious tone, "Well, I thought there was something on the corner of your eye and was worried that it would affect your driving. After looking carefully, I found out it was a mole."
Yi Ning chuckled and said, "Oh, yes, I have a teardrop mole, isn't it very beautiful?"
Wu Siqi had read the random answer, "It looks good and suits you very well."
The other person's smile widened, but she didn't continue the conversation because they had already arrived at their destination and were backing into a parking space.
After getting off the car, Wu Siqi wanted to walk quickly, but the people around her were slow and leisurely following her. She couldn't ignore the feelings of her partners, so she could only slow down and cooperate with her.
From a distance, you can see a group of people gathered together and making a lot of noise. When you get closer, you can see that Xu Tingting and several other people are surrounded by workers and being questioned and demanding an explanation.
Wu Siqi stood on the periphery and raised his voice: "Everyone, be quiet!" He successfully attracted everyone's attention and they really quieted down.
Wu Siqi stretched out her long legs and stepped onto a box beside her, holding up the contract in her hand. "It's no use for you to make a fuss here. The terms written in black and white in the contract are up to you." She pointed her finger at the foreman.
Wu Siqi: "You signed it yourself, and we also stated at the time that we must be careful not to damage the props. Now that you have damaged our props due to operational problems, it is only natural that you should compensate us according to the price."
The foreman's voice was extremely loud, and he raised his head and scolded Wu Siqi without giving in at all. "It's not intentional damage. Damage during construction is extremely normal. Other bosses are not as picky as you, deducting this and that. You quoted such a low price, and if you deduct more, we won't even be able to eat!"
Wu Siqi: "You all accepted these before starting work, didn't you? I emphasized the work safety regulations before we started."
Wu Siqi put his hands on his hips and said, "I won't blackmail you. The display manufacturer quoted us a damage quote of 20,000 yuan. We borrowed the items, so we only plan to deduct the remaining 10,000 yuan from you. We will also have to pay the compensation ourselves. Whether you like it or not, this is the only way to handle this matter."
The foreman shouted that it was impossible, and the other workers became unhappy as well. The group started to make a commotion again, and a few workers even pushed the male colleague who was blocking the way in front.
"Stop!" Wu Siqi pulled out his phone, dialed the police number, and flashed it in front of everyone: "Since we can't solve this, let's call the police. If there's any problem, go to the police station and solve it. The new construction team will be here soon. Don't interfere with our work here. If you delay the construction period, you will still have to compensate us according to the price."
When they heard they were going to call the police, the group backed off. A few of the ringleaders poked the foreman and asked him to speak. "You girl, why are you so stubborn? If I had known it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have taken this project."
The people on the other side gave in. Wu Siqi was not the kind of person who would not give in even if things went well, so he gave them a way out: "Since everyone doesn't want to make a big deal out of this, then this matter ends here. You can take your people away, and we will settle the remaining balance according to the project progress and compensation plan."
She raised her hand to ask people to leave, and other colleagues also stood beside her, looking like they were asking people to leave.
The foreman said "good job" before taking the men away.
Seeing the man leave, the colleagues were all disappointed. Sister Jin patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, Siqi, you came quickly."
Xu Tingting also agreed: "Yes, I'm so afraid that he will hit me. Teacher, if I get hit, can I report it as a work injury?"
Wu Siqi was annoyed and slapped her head with the document: "Hey, hurry up and get the scene ready. We have a rehearsal tomorrow and the new engineering team will be here later."
Yi Ning stood aside with his arms folded, watching the show the whole time. He didn't say a word, but looked at Wu Siqi with a smile on his face, as if he was sure that she could solve the problem.
Indeed, after Wu Siqi and his colleagues explained the solution and the new process, he walked over to her and said, "Excuse me, we had a small problem, but it's been resolved. Come on, I'll take you to the power port."
Yi Ning put his hand down. "Okay, it's nothing. It's common for construction teams to cause trouble. Xiao Wu, you're the quickest to resolve it."
"Really? I thought you were praising me." Wu Siqi led her to the stage. After resolving the matter, Wu Siqi's mood improved a lot. "I heard that you guys turned down offers for other events that were very high. We have such a small event, yet you're willing to come. You've really helped a lot. Thank you."
"We only participate in activities with people who are destined to meet us. Money and material possessions are nothing more than that." Yi Ning put his hands behind his back and took two quick steps to get in front of Wu Siqi. "We are destined to meet."
"First, our group members just happened to be in this city, and I just happened to know that you needed help."
Wu Siqi's face wrinkled in amusement. What kind of statement was that? He chuckled and replied, then started a new line: "Well, your music is great. One of our colleagues really likes you guys. He just messaged me and said he wants to come get your autographs and take a photo tomorrow. I wonder if that's convenient."
"Of course it's convenient," Yi Ning nodded, and without any modesty, he began to brag. "But we do have some fame. We've won some awards and so on. Xiaowu, have you heard our songs? Do you have any favorites?"
I'm not talented, I've only heard the two songs you mentioned in the program, but of course I can't say that.
Wu Siqi: "All your songs are good, so I can't tell which one is my favorite. They are all good."
She kept emphasizing it because she was guilty, even though she obviously hadn't heard it. Yi Ning didn't expose her.
