It seems Xiaoxi has come at the wrong time.
She and Gu Min went downstairs together.
"Auntie, I'm Uncle Xiao's friend. I've come to visit you on Uncle Xiao's behalf."
Gu Min was going to be late and didn't notice what Xiao Xi was saying.
"Oh, thank you!"
She hurriedly went to the bike shed, grabbed her electric scooter, and drove off.
Xiaoxi could understand her eagerness. Anyway, she had already come to Uncle Xiao's house and was about to go back when she suddenly remembered that Uncle Xiao's wife looked strange.
Since she was Uncle Xiao's wife, Xiao Xi decided to help her out.
At the entrance of the residential area, Gu Min saw the little girl who had stopped her electric scooter.
"Auntie, don't go to work today. Let's find a place to talk."
Gu Min was extremely anxious.
"Young lady, please move aside, I really don't have time to chat with you."
"Alright then, you can keep this talisman."
Gu Min nodded, took the triangular talisman that Xiao Xi had folded, and casually put it into her coat pocket.
She hurriedly took her son and rode away on her electric scooter.
Xiaoxi knew that Uncle Xiao's wife didn't care, but it didn't matter; she would be so anxious that she would search the whole world for her.
Gu Min dropped her son off at kindergarten and then rode off quickly toward the company.
It's rush hour anyway, so riding an electric scooter is better, at least you don't get stuck in traffic.
Just as Gu Ming was thinking this, a food delivery guy rushed over and smashed her electric scooter.
Gu Min had no choice but to rush to the subway. The subway was so crowded that she was sandwiched between two people. When she got off, she accidentally stepped on a middle-aged man's foot.
This time, the middle-aged man wouldn't let it go and grabbed her in the subway station, yelling at her.
Gu Min was anxious, but the middle-aged man seemed unemployed and not in a hurry. He vented all the frustrations he had encountered in life.
On the subway platform, other passengers hurried by, giving her a disdainful glance before leaving without offering any help.
Just when Gu Min was on the verge of collapse, subway staff arrived to mediate.
After getting off the subway, just as she was about to arrive at the company, an old woman stopped Gu Min on the road again. The old woman had just opened her mouth to say something.
Gu Min had already jumped away alertly, dodging the old woman's hand that was trying to grab her.
"Don't speak! I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Gu Min ran away as fast as she could, as if she were avoiding a plague.
Hmph, I knew she was trying to scam me. If she keeps bothering me, I really won't be able to go to work today.
By the time Gu Min arrived at the company, she was already half an hour late.
Her boss was a difficult person to get along with, and he started yelling at Gu Min directly.
"Don't give me so many excuses. You've already been late twice this quarter, and you've lost your perfect attendance bonus."
It's like every family has a child. Why don't you just quit your job and stay home to be a stay-at-home mom?
Oh, I forgot, you want to be a stay-at-home mom but you're not cut out for it. Who's going to support you?
"Hmph, just because you're a martyr's family member doesn't mean I'm letting you go during this layoff. Go ahead! Work hard!"
Gu Min had a fight at home this morning, and things didn't go well for her when she went out. Just like her life, it was terrible.
She wasn't in the mood to go to work today, so she went to the break room and poured herself a hot coffee, but even that coffee couldn't warm her heart.
Suddenly, I heard my colleagues outside the break room running and shouting in panic.
"Run! Fire!"
The four floors below their office building are all clothing wholesale markets; the fabric there catches fire very quickly.
She ran out of the break room and saw her colleagues blocking the emergency exit. Several photocopiers that had been brought in yesterday were still piled up there, blocking the way.
A fire has broken out in the office area, with thick smoke billowing out.
