Chapter 211 The Second Life-Saving
Chapter 211 The Second Life-Saving
After the training, everyone felt inexplicably happy. Maybe this is what a team is. It is not just about the success or failure of one person, but the progress of everyone together is what makes people happier.
After lunch, Mu Xiaoqiao asked the photographer not to follow her, as she needed to call her agent to arrange some work. So she went to Yang Xiao alone to ask for ten minutes of cell phone time, and went to the top floor to call Julie.
All of them handed in their cell phones when they arrived, and have been living in isolation for more than ten days. However, due to the special nature of their work, they are also allowed to use their cell phones for half an hour each week to deal with work issues. This is the first time that Mu Xiaoqiao has used this privilege.
As soon as the call was connected, Julie's screaming voice reached my eardrums, "Oh my God, Sister Xiao Qiao, it's really you. I thought you had forgotten me. You have been out of touch for more than ten days. Do you know how I have been spending these ten days? Do you know how much I miss you? Do you know..."
"Stop!" Mu Xiaoqiao interrupted her endless chatter. She only had ten minutes and didn't want to waste it on nonsense. She said concisely, "I only have ten minutes. Let's talk about the main points. I asked you to send someone to keep an eye on Ruiyuan Real Estate. What's going on now?"
Julie immediately straightened her attitude and began to report, "Ruiyuan Real Estate's stock price has plummeted, and they have lost a lot of money. I heard that their chairman ordered layoffs a few days ago, and laid off a large number of employees. Now there are many people protesting in front of Ruiyuan Real Estate every day, and the scene is very chaotic."
It seems that the time has come. Mu Xiaoqiao pondered inwardly for a while and said, "Okay, keep watching. Is there anything important recently? Pick out the important ones and tell me about them."
"The first episode of Iron Man has started airing. Sister Xiao Qiao, you are so cool. Did you know that your Weibo followers have skyrocketed after the show aired? Especially when you appeared without makeup, you looked no worse than when you put on makeup. Gao Qi received a lot of negative reviews. During the emergency assembly, her appearance hit a new low. Netizens have made her into an emoticon and it has gone viral all over the Internet. I guess Gao Qi must be pissed to death."
Julie laughed out loud, because Gao Qi used to act like a troublemaker, which made Julie have a very bad impression of her. However, Mu Xiaoqiao had changed her opinion of her recently. At least, she still had perseverance, otherwise she would not have been able to persist here for so long.
"Apart from this, is there anything else?"
"Anything else?" Julie thought for a moment. Nothing special had happened recently. Everything was normal. "Oh, that Wei Jiaqi was discharged from the hospital. Before he left, he asked me to thank you very much and said he would definitely help you in the future."
Who is Wei Jiaqi? After thinking for a few seconds, Mu Xiaoqiao remembered that it was the boy she rescued that day. She had been so busy recently that she had forgotten about him. However, she didn't care whether he helped or not. She hummed and looked at the time. There were still five minutes left. Just as she was about to hang up, Julie stopped her again and said mysteriously, "By the way, it seems that Zhao Minna and Ling Xiao are living together."
"What?" Mu Xiaoqiao was instantly shocked by the news. She and Ruan Haoyu had only been out for more than ten days. Have these two people made such rapid progress?
Julie whispered, "No one knows about this. I just happened to go to the beach near Ling Xiao's house that day and saw them returning to Ling Xiao's house from a distance. I remembered that Mina lived with you, so I became more cautious and wanted to see when she would leave. As a result, I waited until after one in the evening, but she didn't come out. I was too sleepy, so I left. I didn't dare to tell anyone. I forgot about it again because I was busy these days. I just remembered it."
Mu Xiaoqiao knew that Ling Xiao's family did live by the sea, and Julie would not lie to her. But she remembered that Ling Xiao was very resistant to Zhao Minna at the beginning. How come the two of them became so close in such a short time?
But if it is true, she is also very happy. The two people can be said to have rekindled their relationship, which is cause for celebration.
"Okay, I get it. I don't have time anymore, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll call you next time. Bye."
Mu Xiaoqiao hung up the phone and looked at the time. There were still three minutes left, so she called Chen Heng.
The phone rang twice before being picked up. Chen Heng's gloomy voice came from the other end of the receiver, "Mu Xiaoqiao."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Chen still remembered my phone number," Mu Xiaoqiao said with a smile, "I want to remind you that the weather has been dry recently and people are prone to getting irritated, so you'd better not go to the company tomorrow. Just drink tea and listen to music at home, and then send someone to guard the company gate."
"Okay, got it." Chen Heng didn't ask why, nor did he say much. He simply responded and hung up. Mu Xiaoqiao thought he had learned a lesson from the last physical examination and didn't think too much about it. Little did she know that Chen Heng now believed in her words simply because he thought the Dragon Soaring Diagram could help people predict the future.
Mu Xiaoqiao ran all the way with her phone in her hand and finally handed it in within ten minutes. After coming out of the office, she leaned against the wall and gasped for a long time. She never expected that time is so precious now and making a phone call is like a war.
That night, Zhou Hanqing convened another emergency assembly, but with the experience from the last time, everyone was much more alert this time, and no one slept so soundly. They all quickly got ready and assembled downstairs.
Zhou Hanqing looked at everyone with satisfaction and said, "This time, we are going to go to the wild for two days of training. The car is parked five kilometers away, so everyone needs to run five kilometers with weights first, and then take the car to the training location. Everyone bring tents and sleeping bags, and we will set off in five minutes."
Field training sounded like fun. Su Xinhao and Wen Yuquan were very excited. They kept talking to Ruan Haoyu and Qi Nanfeng all the way, imagining that the weather in the wilderness would be sunny and the birds would sing and the flowers would bloom. They hadn't been out of the barracks for more than ten days. The thought of going out was like a bird being released from a cage.
Ruan Haoyu was not so optimistic. Since entering here, no training has been easy. They didn't know what was waiting for them ahead this time. If they were blindly optimistic, they would be too disappointed later.
However, he did not want to discourage the enthusiasm of the two young people. After everyone ran five kilometers with the weights, they finally got on the bus and had a rest.
Nothing could be seen from the military vehicle, so everyone could only rely on their senses. From the degree of shaking of the vehicle, it seemed to be driving on a mountain road. After about two hours of driving, the vehicle finally stopped. Everyone had fallen asleep due to the shaking, and when they were woken up and called to get off the vehicle, it was already daybreak.
As soon as they got off the car, a fresh air hit their faces. They saw that the place they were in seemed to be a valley with green trees. Not far away there was a clear stream with gurgling water. It was indeed a good place to escape the heat in this hot summer.
Several young people cheered. The wind here felt cool and comfortable on their faces. There was also a faint scent of grass in the air. Everyone felt suddenly refreshed. Bao Jingjing and Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but open their arms and take a deep breath of fresh air.
"gather!"
Following Zhou Hanqing's order, everyone lined up quickly. Zhou Hanqing said with a half-smile, "Do you think the air here is good?"
"Yes." They answered in unison.
"I tell you, not only is the air here good, there are also many birds and animals, but..." He looked around at everyone, and everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts, "Protecting wild animals is everyone's responsibility. In the next two days, we will conduct anti-starvation training. Of course, I won't force you. If anyone can't stand the hunger, here are 50 kilograms of beef prepared for everyone. You can come and take it. But first, let me make it clear that you are not allowed to light a fire in the woods to avoid causing a fire. Do you understand?"
As he spoke, two soldiers brought over a large piece of raw beef and a knife, stuck it into the beef, and placed it in front of everyone.
This time no one answered. Everyone looked at the raw beef in front of them and looked at each other. Finally, Mu Xiaoqiao shouted, "Report!"
"speak."
"No fire allowed. Are we going to eat this beef raw?"
"You can also not eat and just get through these two days."
Everyone was disappointed. In other words, they either starved or ate raw beef?
Gao Qi muttered quietly, "I'd rather be hungry."
Everyone has the same idea. They would rather starve than eat raw meat.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Zhou Hanqing said, "Since everyone understands, let's start training now."
