Seeing that Han Fuqing was busy, He Ruixue quietly left her office and started to think in her mind.
Han Shuyan is no longer a concern, only Luo Guoqing is left.
As an old employee, he has a much deeper foundation in the company than she does, so it takes more effort to take care of him.
After get off work, she found Zhao Jiajia and whispered a few words in her ear.
The other party nodded solemnly and promised to help her with this matter.
He Ruixue reminded, "Thank you for helping me, but you must try your best to erase all traces of your involvement. He already knows you're my roommate, and if you're too deliberate, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."
She thought about it and nodded again, "I understand. Just wait for my good result."
As for who He Ruixue is targeting, what does it have to do with her?
Besides, Luo Guoqing is not a good person, so it’s better for him to get out of their department as soon as possible.
The next day, there were not many people at the counter where Zhao Jiajia was in charge, and she was sitting in the back resting.
He looked at the wall clock from time to time, calculating in his mind the time it would take for Luo Guoqing to come and count the goods. When he felt it was about time, he took out the newspaper and read it.
Her movements were a bit larger, and the girl at the counter next to her was curious and asked, "Jia Jia, why are you interested in the newspaper today?"
She yawned. "Boring, isn't it? I've used up all the yarn I bought. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
"If you have any news, read it to me."
Zhao Jiajia sat up straight, deliberately putting on airs, "I can get tea money for telling stories, what can you give me?"
"I'm giving you a handful of peanuts, freshly dug from the ground. Stop being weird and tell me."
Seeing that the people around her were also looking expectant, Zhao Jiajia took out the newspaper that He Ruixue gave her and began to read it vividly.
She skipped current affairs news and only read anecdotes about celebrities and interesting stories about citizens, but her tone was too flat, like reading a book, which made the listeners drowsy.
The girl next to him was quick, snatched the newspaper away and started reading again.
She speaks in a rhythmic manner and sometimes even imitates the conversations between the characters in the text, which makes it more interesting.
After reading for a while, she exclaimed, "Oh, this is news from the neighboring province. It says that a straw paper workshop's open-air warehouse where paper materials were stored caught fire, burning more than 50,000 kilograms of raw materials.
The wind was strong from the north that day, so the fire couldn't be stopped. The firefighters sprayed water in several times but it didn't work, and they were ultimately unable to save the people."
"The factory workers are crying. They worked hard for six months, but it was all for nothing."
Her voice was filled with sorrow, and the others also frowned and said in unison,
"What a pity! If I were here, I would rather burn myself than save the goods in the warehouse."
"It's not that easy, don't you think? Isn't it possible to save him?
Two years ago, our store also had a fire, and I heard that two people died. Even though they can be treated as martyrs, they can't be brought back. "
"It's not easy to be a hero, but if I can put out the fire in time, maybe I'll be in the newspapers. Not only will it bring honor to my family, but at least I'll get a raise."
"Just you, hahaha, I'm afraid you're the fastest one."
"Yes, last time the canteen bucket fell, you almost jumped out ten feet away, and you still want to make a contribution? It's a good idea not to charge you with desertion."
Several girls were chatting and laughing, imagining the scenes of becoming heroes, but Luo Guoqing, who came up halfway, heard what they said and took it to heart.
During lunch break, he ran to take the newspaper and read it carefully, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
…
"Are you crazy asking me to burn down the warehouse?"
Liu Xun stood up, pointed at his nose and cursed, "This is a paper mill, it's full of flammable materials. If you want me to die, just tell me earlier."
Luo Guoqing pressed his shoulders and said, "Listen to me, I'm not going to let you get burned for real, I'm just putting on a show.
You just need to light the problematic part, and when the fire is almost burned out, we will rush in and put it out in time.
By then, not only will all your bad debts be wiped out, but you'll also be credited as a fire-fighting hero, and your future will be limitless."
His words were full of persuasion, suggesting that this was a great thing that would kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Xun frowned, "What if it really catches fire? My lives wouldn't be enough to compensate for it."
"It's okay. If you're really worried, you can contact He Ruixue tomorrow and tell her that you agree to sign the supply order, but add a condition that she pick up the goods herself.
I'll call the store's shipping team and ask them to delay for a few days. Even if it does catch fire, it'll be her loss. The store will cover it, so what are you afraid of? "
Seeing the malice in his eyes, Liu Xun felt a chill run down his spine. "So you didn't intend to control the fire at all, you just wanted to trick her?"
Seeing that the other party agreed, he grabbed his collar and said excitedly,
"Impossible! I will never agree to this! These papers were made by our factory workers day and night. Every piece of paper, besides the river water, is made with our blood and sweat.
Under the scorching sun, the workers' legs were soaked in water and suffered several layers of sunburn; in the cold winter, their hands were immersed in the icy river and none of them was spared from frostbite.
In order to buy enough raw materials, I wore out several pairs of shoes, fell down the mountain and almost broke my leg, and was bedridden for half a month... And you, just like that, want me to burn it down with just one word? Why don't you burn your house down?"
"Okay, I..."
He waved his hands vigorously. "Stop talking. I can't mess with you with the workers' hard work. Go away."
"I'm just saying it casually. I'm here to discuss this with you. If you don't agree, forget it. We'll just stand by and watch over it the whole time, and only burn a little bit."
Liu Xun didn't want to listen to his nonsense and wanted to tell him to get out, but he was afraid that this man would come secretly and set fire without telling him.
So he kept it a secret and said vaguely, "Wait for me to think about it carefully. I'm worried about one thing. The fire is difficult to control. You can't just point it and light it."
"This is easy. First, splash some water around the paper..."
Liu Xun growled in a low voice, "You're stupid! Once the fire starts, wet paper won't matter; even wet wood will burn."
"That's why it seems so natural. If we moved the paper to a corner and burned it, everyone would be suspicious."
What will happen to his contributions then?
Whether I can return to the position of team leader depends on this time.
"I...I'll think about it."
"Okay, but this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Next month, when your boss asks about the whereabouts of this batch of goods, you won't be able to explain it."
A struggle flashed in Liu Xun's eyes, and he patted his arm. "I understand what you mean. I'll give you an answer tomorrow, good brother. Whether it succeeds or not, I thank you for thinking of me."
After Luo Guoqing left, he hesitated for a long time, then turned around and called He Ruixue's office.
When the person who was calling answered, he sighed, "Comrade He, I didn't expect to get in touch with you so soon. Could you please come over again? I have something I want to discuss with you in person. Yes, it's extremely urgent. Please do your best."
