Ruan Bin stopped, he was surprised that Qiao Xinwei would ask him about Cao Zekai, but since she asked, he wanted to stand as a friend, and he should tell the truth, "Cao Zekai is a villain with evil intentions."
Man, why, did he offend you?"
Qiao Xinwei's heart sank. So, Cao Zekai was indeed suspicious. The signing ceremony was about to begin, but she still didn't know what Cao Zekai was going to do.
"I think no one has more authority to evaluate him than me. He is a poor student that I have supported for more than ten years. I hired him as an assistant right after graduating from college, but he does not have the simplicity and kindness of rural people at all.
On the contrary, he is very narrow-minded and instead of taking the right path, he wants to take shortcuts."
Speaking of this, Ruan Bin made a general statement, "He and the former Zhou Xiaoyi, tsk, both made me very hurt. If it weren't for the two of them, I really don't know that my vision of seeing people is so bad. The only time I saw it
I got you, but still couldn't keep you, so maybe I'm not good at personnel."
At this time, the assistant came over and urged, "Mr. Ruan, the signing ceremony is about to begin."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Ruan Bin finally said to Qiao Xinwei, "Cao Zekai has been with me for two years. I don't ask him for anything in return. I just hope that he will be a good person. But...if he hadn't completely disappointed me, I would
I won’t fire him. Later, he worked with your vice president Ge Jun for more than a year. Xinwei, this is what I know. I hope it can help you."
"I understand, thank you, you'd better take your seat quickly."
Ruan Bin nodded lightly, turned and left.
The time has begun to count down, the signing representatives and leaders of both parties have taken their seats, and the reporters have made arrangements. The host is speaking with a microphone, and the surround sound of the speakers makes the host's voice clearly heard in every corner.
Qiao Xinwei recalled how Cao Zekai sneakily walked out from behind the background wall in the morning, and she felt extremely uneasy.
While she was thinking about it, she walked out. Suddenly, a person walked towards her and bumped into her. "Ah!" She was startled, and her body was bounced away heavily. She took several steps back. If there hadn't been a wall behind her,
, she must fall.
The man clicked his tongue impatiently and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't lower your head when walking, and look ahead with your eyes, okay?!"
"You..." When she looked up, Cao Zekai, Qiao Xinwei's heart suddenly jumped, and she said alertly, "I'm sorry."
Fortunately, Cao Zekai didn't know her. He just glared at her and walked towards the end of the corridor. His pace became even faster, and he even started to trot.
Qiao Xinwei touched her sore back and looked at the corridor that Cao Zekai ran to. Isn't this corridor leading to the backstage? At that time, Qiao Xinwei didn't think much about anything and just followed him.
Sure enough, Cao Zekai went straight to the background wall of the backstage. He took out a flashlight from his pocket while running. As soon as he entered the dark backstage, he pulled the thick rope originally tied to the steel pole.
"What are you doing in there?!" In desperation, Qiao Xinwei shouted, trying to stop him.
Cao Zekai looked back and cursed, "Mind your own business!"
At this time, it was time for the two parties to sign the contract. The rostrum was filled with senior leaders from Shengshi and Yuanda, and the people under the rostrum were all well-known media reporters. Countless cameras were focused on the rostrum.
At this time, the steel pole that Cao Zekai had untied fell down with a bang and hit the tiles on the floor. It didn't happen all at once, but it moved the whole body. The thick rope only served as reinforcement.
, is optional, but in the current situation, Cao Zekai must have tampered with the steel pole. Once the rope is untied, it is equivalent to the background wall losing its support.
A short "crack" sound came from the top of the background wall, and everyone at the front desk was in an uproar. The sharp-eyed staff had already seen the cracking in the closed area at the top of the background wall, but the layman, who had not noticed it yet, continued working after the uproar.
The background wall is ten meters high, with steel frames at the top and bottom and a curtain in the middle. In order to facilitate the arrangement of the organizers, the hotel uses a lift to hang the advertising curtain up and then reinforce it. If it falls forward, it will not be fatal.
, but many people will definitely be injured.
There was a palm-length gap at the top of the background wall, and the light shined through from the top. Qiao Xinwei could see more clearly that Cao Zekai was untying another thick rope that reinforced the steel pole.
"Stop!" she shouted to stop, and quickly picked up the rope hanging in the air. She pulled the rope down with all her strength, trying to pull the huge curtain up again.
However, how could she, a little woman, be able to save the ten-meter-high giant poster and the weight of the steel pole?
Upon seeing this, Cao Zekai slipped away from the other end of the background wall. Soon, another reinforced steel rod also fell off, and the top of the background wall made a "swish" sound again, and the entire background wall dropped by the length of a palm.
More light shone in from the outside, and the backstage she could see became clearer. There were many steel ropes hanging on the ground, and countless steel ropes hung on the background wall, all of which were cut from a height of about one meter.
, the fracture is still very new.
The staff who noticed the problem ran over from the back passage one after another. Not many people came, only five or six people. Everyone was very anxious when they saw this scene.
"What are you doing standing still? Come and help."
Everyone divided the work and worked together to pull the ropes on both sides, at least to make the background wall stand firm a little longer.
Zhu Zirui and Li Qianwei who came over were shocked. Zhu Zirui walked to the switch of the elevator and pulled the gate, but there was no response at all.
Li Qianwei said: "The steel rope is cut, and the switch is useless."
"I know!" Zhu Zirui said angrily. At a loss what to do, he snatched the rope from Qiao Xinwei's hand and pulled it instead of Qiao Xinwei.
Qiao Xinwei was almost exhausted and her arms were shaking. She said, "Minister Zhu, please go out and let everyone evacuate."
Li Qianwei looked outside and said: "We are exchanging contracts. It will be fine soon. Just hold on." As she said that, she ran to the back corridor and called more waiters to help. However, the backstage was very narrow and could not be entered.
If more people come, the power is really limited.
Qiao Xinwei raised her head and looked at the top. The curtain was slowly falling down, and the distance from one palm to the other was getting wider. "No, I can't hold on anymore. I have to take photos and interviews after signing the contract. It will be dangerous."
"Yes." In her haste, she said, "Minister Zhu, please notify the host now and ask him to move the personal interview to the front, and move it as soon as the contract is signed."
There was no more time to think about it. This was the best way at the moment. Zhu Zirui had no choice but to hand the rope back to Qiao Xinwei.
Signing was being signed outside, the flash was on, and the sound of the shutter being clicked came and went. Zhu Zirui took the opportunity to walk up to the host and said a few words in his ear. The host's face changed drastically and he carefully looked at the huge background wall behind him.
.
"Congratulations to Shengshi Investment Group and Yuanda Group for the official signing of the contract. Next is the exclusive interview project that all reporters are most looking forward to. Leaders and reporters please move to the reception hall next door. After the interview, everyone is invited to have a meal in the Chinese restaurant."
The host's words were concise and concise, with a bit of panic in them, far less calm than usual. Fortunately, she was not the protagonist today and did not attract much attention.
After the host completed her hosting task, she walked backstage and took a look. She was so frightened that she ran away and said, "I'm really risking my life to host this."
The transfer was carried out in an orderly manner in the front, but everyone in the back was exhausted. The scene was really sad.
Ten minutes later, all the people in the venue were moved, and the staff cut the curtain with a razor blade, "I'm counting to three, two, one, let's let go together, three, two, one, let go..."
Then, there was a "crash" sound, and the entire background wall fell down. The huge advertising curtain covered the tables and chairs in the venue. The steel pole at the top was the most dangerous. There was a loud "bang" sound and hit a row of long tables.
On the table, the legs of the long table were smashed on the spot and shattered into pieces.
This set of equipment is worth a lot of money. It is obvious that the steel cable was cut artificially. Even if Shengshi does not investigate the cause, the hotel will. The hotel manager immediately called the police.
Zhu Zirui still has lingering fears, and everyone still has lingering fears.
"Qiao Xinwei, didn't I tell you to stay in front? Why did you come here?" He was really scared. This sister-in-law couldn't bear the slightest injury. Jiang Hao would skin him alive.
"I... I came in to use the toilet," Qiao Xinwei gasped, her words incoherent, "I happened to bump into... I bumped into Cao Zekai, and I... just came to take a look." She stretched out her hand and stroked her hand.
My hair and arms were shaking and I couldn't lift them up.
Zhu Zirui sighed, thanking her for this. If she hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
He thought to himself, Brother Hao is so well-informed that he will definitely know about today's incident. Oh, God, I can already imagine myself being scolded by Brother Hao. Maybe he will punch me twice.
So, he kindly stepped forward to help Qiao Xinwei up, and said to everyone: "Get up, don't collapse on the ground, go sit in the lounge. By the way, Shen Yanqing, as soon as the leader's interview is over, let everyone go directly to the middle school
Restaurant, go through the aisle, don’t go around here.”
Shen Yanqing: "I understand, Minister Zhu, you can go and have a rest."
Li Qianwei leaned against the wall, almost exhausted. She had been used to sitting in the office for many years. She had never exerted such strength. If Shen Yanqing hadn't come over and pulled her up, she wouldn't have been able to stand up. At this moment, she was even more sure of one thing.
It's true that Zhu Zirui's heart is unusual for Qiao.
Not only Li Qianwei, but also other colleagues who came over, especially female colleagues, all felt the same way.
For a time, the rumors about Qiao Xinwei and Zhu Zirui seemed to be solidified in everyone's eyes.
