As soon as she had said it, she regretted it. What if Qin Zhiyou was also working late and would come back later?
Unexpectedly, Aunt Hao, with a worried look on her face, said: “No, the young master won’t be coming back tonight. There was an accident at the company, and he flew out of town early in the morning.”
Lu Weixi let out a sigh of relief, casually changed her shoes, put down her bag, and asked before going upstairs: “What happened to him?”
Before Aunt Hao could answer, the news on the television in the living room broadcasted a safety incident: “A worker’s dormitory of Hanhai Group’s project in X City encountered a landslide, burying twenty-five workers. All the trapped personnel have been rescued. Twenty-three were lightly injured, two were seriously injured, and the injured has all been sent to the hospital for treatment. One of them is still in critical condition. Qin Zhiyou, the President of Hanhai Group has personally arrived at the scene to coordinate the aftermath…”
No matter what, she didn’t like to hear about cases involving casualty. Lu Weixi’s ease instantly disappeared. She went upstairs, changed her pajamas, picked up her phone, and planned to send a message, not to comfort Qin Zhiyou, but to ask about those poor workers.
Just then, Qin Zhiyou posted a few photos from the scene at his WeChat Moments, along with pictures of him visiting the injured in the hospital. She liked his post without a second thought.
After liking the post, she put her phone aside and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhiyou was also working till late at night. The patients with minor injuries were okay, and the two seriously injured ones were being treated at the hospital. The dormitory building suffered the most damage, but luckily it was still within controllable limits. Even though he was “stingy”, he wasn’t a vampire. After the accident, he rushed to the spot immediately, with the rescue of people being his first priority. He paid what was needed for medical treatment and compensation. Afterwards, he’d slowly pursue accountability.
Because of the timely handling, there was no chaos, even though it had been reported in the media, it mostly portrayed a positive image. What he was worried about was whether his uncle and aunt would make a fuss about this. However, what happened had happened, there was no use in overthinking, he could only tackle things as they came.
He had to post on his WeChat Moments and Weibo, but he had no time and let his secretary, Wang, handle it. It was not until one in the morning, after the surgery of the last severely injured patient was successful and was out of danger, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretary Wang drove him back to the hotel, he sprawled on the backseat, too tired to move. Once the car reached the hotel, he immediately got up, adjusted his hair and clothes, and with a serious yet composed look, he got out of the car. He didn’t know if there were reporters or other business competitors here, but he had to present himself properly.
When he returned to his room, and after he had completed his bedtime routine, he finally had time to check his phone.
He first checked Weibo where there were quite a few prayers and worried comments, as well as some criticisms, but it was still manageable. Then he checked his WeChat Moments and saw her like among a bunch of random friends.
Qin Zhiyou almost immediately sat up in bed, it was two in the morning. He frowned, pursed his lips, and quickly got up to call his secretary, Wang, who was in the next room.
Lu Weixi had gotten home late last night, and the night before, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, so she got up late today. Anyway, when she was ready to go out, it was already half past eight. As she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed Qin Zhiyou’s car parked at the door..
