10: Chapter 10: What will you compensate me with!
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When the wind grew stronger, Su Lu still didn’t realize that something was wrong.
But when the sky also darkened, even if she were a fool, she would have known that something was wrong.
In a place like a construction site, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say there was flying sand and rocks; it was nearly impossible to keep her eyes open.
The expected driver was still nowhere to be seen.
If he didn’t arrive now, it would be useless for him to come later when the wind and rain grew stronger.
In such weather, the entire construction site was already deserted.
Struggling against the fierce wind, Su Lu headed toward the main building still under construction, where the top hadn’t been sealed yet.
A large piece of iron sheet came flying horizontally with the wind.
“Ah!” Su Lu screamed, narrowly avoiding it.
The sand in the wind stung her body, and some tiny metal wires or fragments she couldn’t identify grazed her, leaving small cuts on her skin.
It was difficult, but she managed to reach the unfinished main building.
The situation inside wasn’t much better.
The unfinished structure had no windows.
The wind blew through all sides!
It was only slightly better than outside.
Su Lu crouched in a corner and dialed a number on her phone.
Whether it was because of the weather or being in the outskirts, the signal seemed weak.
The voices of the project team on the other end were intermittent.
find a place to take shelter…
Can he even make it here?” Su Lu asked urgently.
But the call was disconnected, and she didn’t know if they had heard her.
Rather than having the driver rush over to pick her up in this weather, it seemed even more dangerous to sit in a moving metal box like a car.
Her mind was filled with images she had seen on the news before, of trees snapped in half, crushing car roofs.
She couldn’t help but shiver.
“Achoo!” Su Lu sneezed and sniffled, feeling a bit cold.
She hugged herself tightly, curling up in the corner.
Thinking about her current predicament, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Is the heavens helping Bo Jingshen punish me…”
Su Lu picked up her phone, suddenly wanting to call Bo Jingshen.
But looking at the screen, she belatedly realized she still didn’t have Bo Jingshen’s contact information.
Even the information for booking his flight and hotel, she had sent directly to Jiang Li.
“Alas.” Su Lu sighed softly, “Forget it.”
Because she forgot to charge her phone last night, the battery was already low, and she didn’t know when it would die.
She put down her phone and quietly curled up in the corner.
Outside, the wind howled, and the rain poured down.
In the warm, quiet café on the second floor of the hotel, the floor-to-ceiling windows separated the indoor tranquility from the storm outside, like two different worlds.
In the booth by the window, Bo Jingshen listened absentmindedly to Assistant Qiu talking beside him.
Assistant Qiu was the temp assistant Jiang Li had arranged for him in Hai City.
Assistant Qiu, “President Bo, if you have no other instructions, we’ll follow this schedule.”
Bo Jingshen frowned tightly, looking at the trees outside swaying wildly in the wind.
Suddenly, he asked, “If the typhoon is too severe, can the opening ceremony still be held?”
Assistant Qiu, “Hai City has several typhoons every year.
They don’t always cause problems, but it’s hard to say.
It might get delayed.
I will monitor closely and update you with any changes.”
Bo Jingshen nodded and made a call on his phone.
A sense of unease slowly began to rise.
Bo Jingshen quickly dialed Jiang Li’s number, and it was soon connected.
Jiang Li, “Hey, the typhoon has hit Hai City.
Can the tech expo still be held on schedule?”
Bo Jingshen, “Give me Gu Xin’s contact information.”
Jiang Li sensed something was wrong in his voice, “…Why?
“Su Lu…” Bo Jingshen had just begun when he saw a few people entering the café.
The project team members they had dinner with last night looked exhausted.
Bo Jingshen handed his phone to Assistant Qiu and approached them.
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou from the project team looked worried.
Xiao Zhang, “What now!
The driver isn’t coming anytime soon, is he?”
Xiao Zhou, “He’s not.
His car is stuck at a gas station on the way.
It’s too dangerous to drive in this weather!”
Xiao Zhang anxiously scratched his head, “What do we do about Mr.
If something happens to Mr.
Su, how do we explain to Mr.
Xiao Zhou, “Should we…
Gu and inform him of the situation first?”
“What’s the situation?”
A low, icy male voice suddenly reached their ears.
The project team turned their heads to see a familiar yet stern face.
Bo Jingshen’s voice was low and deep, “What did you just say?
Wasn’t Su Lu with you inspecting the project?
What happened to her?
The project team felt more pressure facing this man than reporting directly to Mr.
Su…” Xiao Zhou stammered.
Su is still at the project site.
In this weather, the driver stopped midway and couldn’t pick her up.
stranded at the site.”
The middle-aged dark-skinned man beside them was the project site manager, looking a bit more composed.
He spoke in a deep voice, “As long as Mr.
Su can find a place to hide temporarily, there shouldn’t be any danger.”
Bo Jingshen looked at him coldly, “Are you sure about that?”
what?” The originally calm manager now felt suffocated by Bo Jingshen’s presence.
Bo Jingshen stared at him, “Are you sure?
Are you certain Su Lu won’t be in danger, stranded at the construction site during a typhoon?
I…” The manager couldn’t find the words to respond.
Bo Jingshen, “What if she is in danger?
How will you compensate me?
How will you compensate me!”
The manager couldn’t speak, seeing the young man’s eyes filled with blood streaks.
Like a trapped beast.
Assistant Qiu, who held the phone, had not disconnected the call.
Jiang Li on the other end heard the whole situation, feeling waves of shock.
Jiang Li, “What on earth is going on!”
Assistant Qiu, “Second young master, this…”
Jiang Li quickly calmed down, “Contact the local search and rescue team immediately.”
“Give the phone to Bo.”
Assistant Qiu handed the phone to Bo Jingshen at once.
Jiang Li knew Bo Jingshen was not someone easily losing control.
During a major crisis at the company, he had never seen Bo Jingshen lose his composure.
But now, his emotions were visibly out of control, making Jiang Li uneasy.
I’ll have Xiao Qiu contact the local search and rescue team.
“No.” Bo Jingshen’s voice was deep, “I’ll go myself.”
