Chapter 227: Stop Work and Evacuate the Site
In fact, Qiao Jingyu originally planned to change into men's clothes before coming here, but unfortunately the men's clothes she changed out of yesterday were forgotten in the company. If she went back to get them now, it would definitely take a lot of time to go back and forth, and she was worried that this would cause her to be late and miss things.
Therefore, Qiao Jingyu could only come in her own clothes. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the construction site, she was stopped by the guard, "Miss, I'm sorry, outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the construction site casually."
"Hello, I am the assistant to the special assistant to the president of Duan Group. I am here to inspect the construction site today."
When Qiao Jingyu explained her purpose to the security guard, the security guard made a phone call and said, "Engineer Liu, the family from the Duan Group said they wanted to inspect the construction site.... I don't know... Okay, then I'll ask."
"Miss, what is your name?"
"My name is Song Xuan!"
After hanging up the phone, the guard said politely: "Excuse me, please wait a moment. We need to verify the relevant information. Because this is a construction site, there are strict regulations and restrictions on the entry of outsiders. I hope you can understand and considerate."
Qiao Jingyu smiled and nodded, indicating that she fully understood and was willing to cooperate and wait.
Not long after, the guard's phone rang again. After he answered it, he smiled and said to Qiao Jingyu, "Please wait a moment. Engineer Liu will be here soon."
"Okay, thank you!" Qiao Jingyu responded.
Sure enough, not long after, a tall and thin man who looked about 30 years old walked towards this side quickly. When the man saw Qiao Jingyu standing at the door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked Qiao Jingyu up and down, and then asked in confusion: "The Song Xuan that Mr. Liu told me was coming was obviously a man, but you..."
Qiao Jingyu had never expected Liu Zhenqiang to be so cautious that he even told Liu Dong about Song Xuan's gender. She was slightly startled, but soon recovered and responded calmly: "Song Xuan felt a little unwell when he accompanied Special Assistant Feng to Yusen Group yesterday, so I had to take his place today."
After hearing this explanation, the man in front of him nodded slightly to show his understanding. He then stopped asking other questions and introduced himself: "I am the general contractor of this project, my name is Liu Dong. In this case, let me show you around."
Qiao Jingyu hurriedly smiled and thanked him: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Engineer Liu!" After that, she followed Liu Dong into the construction site.
Normally, the construction site will start work around 7 am. Now it is past : and the workers have already been working enthusiastically. Looking around, there are crowds of people on the ground, busy figures shuttling among them; and on the high-rise building a little further away, there is also a small group of workers standing on the scaffolding, concentrating on painting the wall.
Qiao Jingyu knew that if they were to encounter an earthquake or other sudden disaster, people on the ground could still evacuate quickly. However, she was most worried about the workers working on the elevated platform. As they were on a high floor, it was not easy for them to get down safely. Therefore, no matter what, Qiao Jingyu had to find a way to ensure that they could all be evacuated from the elevated platform before the earthquake.
Qiao Jingyu slowly moved her eyes away from the elevated platform, turned her head and stared at Liu Dong beside her, and said softly: "Engineer Liu, look at the weather today, it's gloomy and I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily soon. Under such circumstances, shouldn't we stop and take a break at the construction site?"
Liu Dong walked side by side with Qiao Jingyu towards the construction site and responded, "There's nothing we can do! The construction period for this project is so tight. Unless we encounter extremely bad weather conditions that seriously affect construction safety, we usually won't stop work casually. Besides, I checked the weather forecast this morning, and it didn't show that it would rain today, so the conditions for stopping work have not been met yet."
"Oh, so that's what happened!" Qiao Jingyu nodded thoughtfully, then raised her wrist and glanced at her watch again. She saw that the pointer was ticking rapidly, and the time for the terrible earthquake was getting closer and closer. At this moment, her heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Since hinting that the construction site might be shut down due to heavy rain was not feasible, it seemed that she had no other choice but to tell the truth directly. Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu pursed her lips tightly, stopped abruptly, and her expression became extremely serious. She stared straight into Liu Dong's eyes and said solemnly: "In fact, Mr. Liu, I came here today for a special mission in addition to my daily work. The Duan Group has just obtained a very reliable news that there will be an earthquake of about magnitude 4 in Jicheng today. Because of this, Mr. Duan specially assigned me to come and notify everyone to evacuate the construction site quickly to ensure the safety of everyone's lives!"
"What?" Liu Dong was frightened by Qiao Jingyu's words and looked at her in disbelief. "You said there will be an earthquake today?"
"Yes!"
Liu Dong saw that Qiao Jingyu looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, so he panicked for a moment, "What should we do? Should we all stop work and evacuate?"
"Well, this is the safest way."
"But I don't dare to stop the work without any notice from above!" Liu Dong was a little entangled. "What if there is no earthquake and I have wasted my time? I can't take the responsibility!"
"Engineer Liu, which is more important, the construction period or human life?" Qiao Jingyu asked.
"Of course human life is more important, but..." Liu Dong said with embarrassment, "No, I really can't make the decision on this matter. Let me call for instructions."
Liu Dong took out his cell phone and called Liu Zhenqiang. "Boss Liu, someone from Duan Group said there might be an earthquake today, so we need to stop working here. What do you think...Okay, okay, I'll go and tell everyone to take a day off."
When Qiao Jingyu heard Liu Dong's words, she finally felt relieved.
Qiao Jingyu thought the disaster was resolved, but when the workers were halfway through cleaning up, Liu Zhenqiang came to the construction site.
When Liu Zhenqiang learned that Song Xuan came to inspect the construction site again, he put down his phone and rushed to the construction site immediately. In order to keep Qin An, he secretly replaced the two problematic pillars on the cinema building. Although it was very hidden and should not be discovered, he was still worried. What if Song Xuan found out? So he came here in person.
