Chu Xing glanced at the man with displeasure at being abruptly interrupted.
Suppressing the oppressive feeling, Shen Que said softly, "Master Yun, it's about Madam."
Chu Yun looked apologetically at the man in front of her: "Excuse me."
The man looked somewhat displeased, but not wanting to directly offend him, he could only nod.
When Chu Yun arrived outside the office, Shen Que gestured for Assistant Lu to speak.
Assistant Lu stammered for a moment, unsure how to describe the current situation.
"Speak." A bad premonition was rising in Chu Xing's heart, and his tone became colder.
"The flight that the lady was on has lost contact."
The moment those words were spoken, Chu Xing returned to his office without another word.
"I'm sorry, I have other matters to attend to. My secretary will handle the rest of the negotiations." Chu Xing gestured for Shen Que to step forward, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
How could a man allow a secretary to discuss matters with him? Besides, he already believed he was in the right and wanted to take this opportunity to extort money from her.
"Master Yun, I know you're very busy, but today's matter involves the lives of the workers. Do you really think you can just let it go like this?" The man's words were full of threat as he looked coldly at Chu Xing.
Chu Xing did not react at all, only a cold smile slowly curving up at the corner of his lips.
He spoke in a low voice: "Boss Wang, you've made your point very clear just now. The reason I'm here negotiating with you patiently is because I don't want your workers to feel disheartened. I don't need to elaborate on the reason for this incident."
The workers' riot was entirely instigated by Boss Wang.
His aim was to use the workers as a pretext to extort money from them.
Because he knew that Yunxing would not stand idly by and watch the workers become homeless, nor would it allow them to cause trouble on the construction site.
He never expected that Chu Xing would be so unyielding, whether he was being persuaded or not.
"I want to cancel my cooperation with Yunxing!"
Boss Wang's tone also hardened, as if he wanted to use this method to control Chu Xing.
"Okay." Chu Xing agreed without any hesitation.
His retreating figure was utterly heartless, leaving Boss Wang standing there in a daze.
Assistant Lu hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately had no choice but to leave the mess to Shen Que. The losses to Yunxing Group if this project were cancelled would be immeasurable. He hadn't expected that Master Yun would be willing to forgo such a lucrative opportunity for his wife.
The private jet was already waiting on the rooftop lawn of Yunxing Group. Chu Xing strode onto the plane, his expression full of anxiety.
"How is the situation now?" He tried to suppress his anxiety, but the urgency in his voice betrayed his panic.
"The plane encountered strong turbulence and was forced to land in the disaster-stricken area in the south. At present, we only know that the plane has successfully landed, but we do not know the extent of casualties. There may be another earthquake tonight, and the magnitude cannot be predicted."
Chu Xing did not respond to these words. He tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips and slowly closed his eyes.
"Leave the company's affairs to Shen Que, and don't delay the progress of any project."
Upon hearing Chu Xing's words, Assistant Lu subconsciously frowned and asked nervously, "When does Master Yun plan to return to China?"
"Find Song Mai."
He was prepared to be unable to return to China for a long time, and he would never abandon Song Mai alone under any circumstances.
"But..." Assistant Lu hesitated, as one problem after another arose regarding the project.
Nowadays, many companies want a piece of the pie and are desperately vying for resources.
Some audacious companies have set their sights on Yunxing, such as Mr. Wang just now.
If they find out that Yunxing is not in the country, they will definitely take the opportunity to act recklessly.
"No buts. Try to keep my absence from the company a secret, and don't let the old man know unless absolutely necessary."
Grandpa Chu's health is not good; he cannot withstand any more setbacks.
"I see."
Assistant Lu sighed helplessly and quietly stayed by Chu Xing's side.
When the plane arrived in the disaster-stricken area in the south, an earthquake struck. The plane was unable to land and even nearly crashed several times.
The signal was blocked, and Assistant Lu panicked.
He was ready to sacrifice himself for Chu Xing at any time, his face full of a death wish.
Fortunately, the earthquake was small and lasted only a short time.
Once the ground stabilized, the plane landed safely.
The moment Chu Xing's feet touched the ground, he was shocked by the devastation of the ruins.
It was only at this moment that he fully realized that Song Mai was very likely to sacrifice himself.
In the face of disaster, no one is insignificant.
Chu Xing clenched his fists and slowly walked forward.
Soon a man stepped forward to meet them; it was Fauci.
Fuxi asked in surprise, "Why did Master Yun come here in person?"
He then said apologetically, "I did not receive any news, so I was not prepared. I hope you will not blame me, Master Yun."
Chu Xing shook his head: "Don't reveal my identity, just treat me as an ordinary person."
Although he didn't understand, Fauci nodded in agreement.
"Has a girl named Song Mai, who also works for Yunxing Group, come here before?" Chu Xing continued to ask.
Fuxi nodded and said happily, "Yes, the person you're talking about is Mai Zi, right? Mai Zi helped comfort the refugees as soon as she arrived here, and now she's become one of the volunteers. Mai Zi has a lively and cheerful personality, and she's already our source of joy here."
Song Mai has only been here a short time, yet she has already gained so many fans.
Chu Xing was filled with pride, and his face showed a hint of satisfaction: "Take me to see her."
When Chu Xing lifted the curtain, Song Mai, her face covered in dust, was patiently feeding a little girl a bowl of porridge.
She heard footsteps behind her but didn't turn around.
"Fuxi, we're out of instant noodles. Don't share with me later."
After not receiving a response for a long time, Song Mai subconsciously turned her head to look, only to find Chu Xing standing right in front of her.
At that moment, Song Mai felt as if she were having a long and lonely dream. In the dream, she met the person she had been longing for, and joy and grievances welled up in her heart in an instant.
She handed the porridge in her hand to a volunteer next to her, then turned around and hugged Chu Xing.
She wrapped her arms tightly around Chu Xing's neck, her breath coming in short gasps. The unexpected encounter had caught her off guard, and she didn't know how to express her joy.
Why are you here?
Chu Xing patted her back reassuringly and said in a low voice, "I'm worried about your flight going missing."
These two sentences alone encapsulate the effort he put into Song Mai and his deep anxiety.
Song Mai knew that things wouldn't be that simple, but this wasn't the time to reminisce.
She explained the situation to Chu Xing, her eyes filled with worry.
