"Sister Man is a reasonable person. I want to talk to her. Terminating the cooperation is a matter between the two of us. Don't get involved. You're not qualified," Qin Xiaoyu insisted.
"Anyway, you can't see her, I'll settle the contract with you! I'll pay you back, okay?" Zhu Xu pleaded, left with no other choice.
The female workers initially didn't understand why they were arguing, but now they realized they were there to cause trouble for Zhu Xu. Naturally, these women sided with the one who paid them, and slowly they all stood up from their machines and gathered around.
A Lei knew these people were generally harmless, and if Zhu Xu really got them into a fight, they would be at a disadvantage because they were outnumbered. So he pulled Qin Xiaoyu behind him to protect her, and then glanced at the door. Oh no, the door was locked with a padlock, not a simple bolt. He guessed it was to prevent the female workers from stealing things.
"That woman is no good," one of the female workers started the trouble. A chorus of jeers erupted behind her.
"Who we process for is none of your business, get out!" someone else shouted.
Qin Xiaoyu knew the situation was unfavorable. She was angry, but she couldn't let herself suffer in vain. She glanced at A Lei; in that short time, Zhu Xu had seized the opportunity, and she could tell A Lei was afraid.
"Come to my office. We'll make things clear today, or you won't be leaving here peacefully." Zhu Xu's expression changed drastically.
"Let's go to the office." Are pulled Qin Xiaoyu up and strode after her. He calculated that not many people could get into the office, so he would have a slight advantage. Outside, Qin Xiaoyu would be in for a lot of trouble.
Zhu Xu swaggered around, acting like a victor. He entered the office, unlocked the door, grabbed the contract, and tossed it onto the table in one swift motion.
"Come on, if you want to terminate this contract, sign here, take the finished product and your fabric with you, I don't even want your junk!"
"That's it? You've caused me so much financial loss, and you think terminating the contract is enough?" Qin Xiaoyu almost laughed out of anger.
"Then consider it compensation for emotional distress. You all know how you've treated me. You treat me like an idiot every day, kicking me while I'm down. We're all designers, nobody has two heads, who looks down on whom? Fine, I'll quit, fine. I'm already being lenient by not asking you for money!" Zhu Xu spoke fluently, and this set of theories refreshed Qin Xiaoyu's worldview several times. It turns out that shameless people are always self-righteous.
"The contract can be terminated, but you will have to compensate for all losses. I won't tolerate this this time," Qin Xiaoyu said with a cold smile.
"What else do you want? To put it bluntly, you have to consider the situation. You're just too good at pretending. No matter how good you are, you're nothing but a piece of meat in front of these old women. They'll all smear your face. Don't blame me for not warning you. How can you seduce rich men without a pretty face? Think before you speak." Zhu Xu's face was truly disgusting. Qin Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer, picked up an iron basin, and slapped it across his face with a loud bang.
The women at the door crowded around to watch the commotion, but only two or three went inside. When they saw this, they tried to come forward, but Ah Lei had already planned it. He pulled the table next to him, pushed it sideways, and forced everyone outside, creating a stalemate at the doorway.
Zhu Xu was a little dazed from the knock, but being a man, he quickly regained his senses and lunged at Qin Xiaoyu. Since the last incident, A Lei had taught Qin Xiaoyu a few self-defense techniques. Zhu Xu used simple, old-fashioned methods, grabbing her and slamming her to the ground. In a panic, Qin Xiaoyu countered with a double-ear slap, which made Zhu Xu's ears ring and his head spin even more.
Suddenly the women outside stopped shouting and looked back, wondering what had happened.
"Something's happened! Quickly call Director Zhu! Director Man is in trouble!" Someone relayed the message, and the room fell silent. Only then could one hear the loud banging on the door.
Qin Xiaoyu was startled. She turned around and saw a row of keys hanging on the wall. Not knowing which one to take, she simply took them all down, grabbed them in her hand, and walked towards the door.
"Get out of the way! Someone's going to get hurt!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted. The female workers at the door, who had never seen anything like this before, looked at each other in surprise and made way for her.
Zhu Xu staggered to his feet, still unable to hear clearly, and looked at everyone in confusion.
"Yu Yu came to report that Director Man is in trouble." Someone shouted loudly, and Zhu Xu was jolted awake from his daze, staggering as he chased after them.
Qin Xiaoyu tried several keys and finally managed to open the lock.
The person knocking on the door was Director Bao and his daughter, Yu Yu. Yu Yu's face was covered in tears, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Tell me what it is!"
"I got up to use the bathroom at night and passed by my sister-in-law's window. I heard her screaming for help. I went to check and found that the door was locked from the outside, and there was blood flowing out from under the door..."
"Lead the way quickly!"
Qin Xiaoyu pulled Yu Yu over.
When the group reached Zhu Xu's house, he followed them. The door was locked, and there was no sound from inside. Zhu Xu shakily pulled out his key and opened the door. The house reeked of blood.
"Xiao Hong! Xiao Hong!" Zhu Xu rushed in, picked up Man Ai Hong who was lying on the ground, and shouted.
"Stop shouting, get to the hospital quickly!" Qin Xiaoyu was now only focused on saving the person.
As soon as A Lei entered the courtyard, he saw a flatbed cart that had already been pushed to the door. Qin Xiaoyu pulled two quilts from the kang (a heated brick bed) and spread them on the cart. Zhu Xu put Man Aihong on the cart and then ran off with her.
"Over here, A Lei's car is over here, we'll be there soon if we have a car."
Because time was of the essence, they took Man Aihong to the town hospital. The on-duty doctor, still groggy, went into the emergency room, and soon a nurse ran out: blood, they needed a large amount of type B blood.
"Our blood bank just transferred some, and now we only have two bags left. If we need to transfer any more, we'll have to go to the county hospital," the nurse said anxiously.
“I have it! I have the same blood type as her, I’ve tested it.” Zhu Xu, who looked like a blood gourd, stood up, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his lean arms, and followed the nurse.
Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei were of no help; one was blood type A and the other blood type O.
The child is gone, and whether Man Aihong can be saved is unknown.
Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei sat in the hospital corridor once again, awaiting their fate.
Nurses were constantly going in and out, delivering blood bags.
"You must be family members too, come and take a look." A nurse rushed over and led them into the laboratory.
Zhu Xu's face was unusually pale, and he lay motionless on the bed.
"He insisted on having 800cc drawn and is still asking for it. Could you please try to persuade him?" the nurse said with difficulty.
"Even if it drains my blood, I will save Xiaohong," Zhu Xuxi said, her lips barely moving.
"Is there still not enough blood?" Qin Xiaoyu turned to the nurse.
"The ambulance we sent to fetch blood should be back soon," the nurse replied vaguely.
"If it's not enough, then smoke it, hurry up!" Zhu Xu roared with his last bit of strength.
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at him and couldn't help but feel pity. Regardless of his character, he truly loved Man Aihong.
Qin Xiaoyu pulled the nurse aside and whispered, "Do you know anyone with the same blood type? I'll give 100 yuan for nutrition expenses for 100cc."
The nurse's eyes lit up, and she nodded. Soon, two junior nurses rushed in.
