Wang just pressed the elevator door button, and then saw Andy walking over with a cane.
"Thank you." Andy walked to the elevator with great effort, looked up and saw so many people inside, and couldn't help but want to turn around.
She is a loner and doesn't like crowded places.
Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er saw that Andy's legs and feet were inconvenient, so they subconsciously blocked the elevator door.
"You come in slowly, and we will hold the door for you." Qiu Yingying said enthusiastically.
Andy was embarrassed to leave now. She walked into the elevator step by step on crutches. Others subconsciously gave way to her.
"Thank you!" Andy lowered his head and said thank you.
"You're welcome, we are all neighbors and we should help each other. Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors!" Qiu Yingying said familiarly.
Andy looked at Wang Gang again and thanked him again: "I would like to thank you before for helping me advance the medical expenses. I will transfer the money to you later."
"Don't worry, I won't wait for the money." Wang Gang smiled and said, "What are you doing downstairs?"
Andy said: "I ordered pizza and the delivery person asked me to go downstairs to get it."
Qiu Yingying said dissatisfied: "It's too much. Your legs and feet are inconvenient. Why doesn't the delivery person send it upstairs?"
Andy explained: "It's inconvenient to tell the delivery man the password for the corridor door. It's okay if I take the elevator downstairs to get it."
Qiu Yingying said enthusiastically: "In the future, you can ask us for help with this kind of thing."
Andy might not be used to Qiu Yingying's enthusiasm and was slightly taken aback.
Qu Xiaoxiao kept hiding behind the elevator without saying a word, keeping her eyes on Wang Gang, and her heart was agitated.
If Yao Bin hadn't told her, Qu Xiaoxiao would never have imagined that Wang Gang was such a gentle man and so powerful in combat.
The elevator slowly went down, and suddenly paused, causing several girls to scream in surprise.
The elevator quickly returned to normal and continued going down.
"This broken elevator is scary all day long." Fan Shengmei said angrily.
"If this happens to the elevator, you should immediately notify the property management company to find someone to inspect it." Andy frowned.
"It's an old problem. I also complained to the property management company and they said there was no problem. As for us tenants, the property management company never paid attention to it," Fan Shengmei explained.
Wang Gang suddenly remembered that in the plot of Ode to Joy, there seemed to be a scene where he was trapped in an elevator. Could it be today?
Boom.
The elevator suddenly vibrated violently and was stuck between the eighth and ninth floors, unable to move.
The five girls screamed out loud, but Andy remained calm.
"Everyone, stay calm." Wang Gang stood up and said.
His premonition of crisis was not aroused, and the elevator accident was probably just a near miss.
Qiu Yingying grabbed Wang Gang's arm tightly, her face turned pale with fright.
Guan Ju'er was so nervous that she unconsciously pulled Wang Gang's sleeve.
Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao also leaned against the elevator wall with frightened faces.
"The elevator won't fall!" Qiu Yingying said in fear.
"Don't scare yourself." Wang Gang comforted his girlfriend, then glanced at the nervous Guan Ju'er and said:
"Everyone, please stand against the elevator wall while I contact the property management company."
The five girls were confused and subconsciously followed Wang Gang's words.
"Yingying, please help Miss Andy, she has trouble with her legs and feet."
Qiu Yingying nodded, supported Andy, and leaned into the innermost part of the elevator.
Wang Gang pressed the alarm button in the elevator and quickly connected to the property management company. He explained the situation and the property management company immediately sent someone to check and call the police.
Then Wang Gang pressed the buttons on every floor in the elevator. When he turned around, he found that several girls had been paralyzed with fear.
"Don't be too nervous. Every elevator has an emergency lock switch. Generally, it won't fall. We can get out when the fire brigade comes to pry open the elevator door."
Wang Gang walked to Qiu Yingying and found that her forehead was sweating.
"Xiao Bai, I saw in the movie that once the rope is broken, the elevator will fall. Is it true?"
It was okay if Qiu Yingying didn't say anything, but the others became even more nervous when she opened her mouth.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Don't be misled by the movie. There are five ropes in an elevator. Even if one is broken, the other four can still support it.
Moreover, the elevator accident rate is only one in 30 million, and the fatality rate is even lower, which is basically much lower than the probability of death in a car accident."
When the girls heard what Wang Gang said, they felt much relieved.
"I heard that if the elevator keeps jumping when it falls, there is a half chance of surviving." Fan Shengmei asked.
Andy shook his head and said: "That's a rumor. Not only does jumping in the elevator not guarantee survival, but because the movement is too big, it will even affect the elevator's fall."
Wang Gang also explained: "When encountering an elevator accident, the first thing to do is to call the property police, then press all the elevator floor buttons, and finally squat down against the wall and hug your legs with your hands to ensure the survival rate."
"Brother Bai, how do you know so much?" Guan Juer asked puzzledly.
Wang Gang took out his mobile phone and said, "I just checked online."
The girls couldn't help but smile, and their mood suddenly improved a lot.
Only Andy was still a little nervous.
"Are you claustrophobic?" Wang Gang looked at Andy and asked.
"I'm fine, I can still hold on." Andy gritted his teeth and said.
Qiu Yingying said to Andy: "Don't be afraid, didn't Xiaobai say that the fatality rate of elevator accidents is very low, we won't be so unlucky!"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Her claustrophobia has nothing to do with the elevator accident. She cannot stay in a closed environment for a long time."
Qiu Yingying asked in confusion: "Did you search online again?"
Wang Gang picked up his phone, shook it, and said: "Anyway, everyone has nothing to do, let's play a little game!"
"What are you playing for?" Fan Shengmei asked.
"Just play Idiom Solitaire." Wang Gang said.
"At this time, you are still in the mood to play games." Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help it anymore and complained.
Several other girls have the same idea. Who has the heart to play games now?
"Then do you have a better proposal?" Wang Gang asked.
Qu Xiaoxiao stopped talking.
"I have been living abroad and my idioms are not very good." Andy relaxed and said.
"It's okay, only when it's not good do you have to play." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Wang Gang's smile infected everyone, and everyone's tension slowly eased.
"I'll come first, wholeheartedly." Qiu Yingying said.
"Whimsical." Guan Ju'er said.
"The creation of heaven and earth."
After playing Idiom Solitaire, Andy needs to be distracted and his claustrophobia is much better.
Ten minutes later, there was a sound outside the elevator door, and people from the fire brigade were coming. The five girls immediately stood up happily.
"Everyone, please stay back. After a while, the elevator door will be pried open. Let's go out one by one. Don't be crowded. I will go out last." Wang Gang said to the five girls.
Everyone nodded and leaned against the back of the elevator.
A ray of light appeared in the elevator, and the door was slowly opened by two crowbars. Wang Gang found that the elevator stopped in the middle of the two floors. There was only a hole of less than 60 centimeters in the top, which was barely enough for a person to get out.
Wang Gang pointed at Andy and said, "Andy's legs are inconvenient. She will be the first to go out. Is there any problem?"
Qiu Yingying and others nodded, and even Qu Xiaoxiao did not object.
Wang Gang held Andy's waist and said, "I'll lift you up in a moment, and the firefighters outside will pick you up. Pay attention to your injured leg."
Andy felt a little shy when Wang Gang touched his waist, but he did not refuse Wang Gang's kindness.
The two of them walked to the elevator. Wang Gang easily lifted Andy and sent him out.
Next are Qiu Yingying and Guan Ju'er. Fan Shengmei is a little heavier, but it's nothing to Wang Gang.
When it was Qu Xiaoxiao's turn at last, her face looked a little strange.
"I didn't know anything about Yao Bin beforehand." Qu Xiaoxiao said guiltily. She could see that Wang Gang was a good person.
Wang Gang took a deep look at Qu Xiaoxiao, as if he wanted to see if she was lying.
"Go out first and then talk."
Wang Gang held Qu Xiaoxiao's waist and sent her out of the elevator. It was his turn next.
He just bent his legs and rushed out of the elevator without the help of the firefighters.
When Qiu Yingying saw Wang Gang coming out, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms.
Guan Ju'er wanted to step forward, but Qiu Yingying took a step forward and stopped, with a complicated look on her face.
After the six people escaped from danger, Qu Xiaoxiao caught people from the property company and scolded them.
"How do your property management companies do things? If there is such a big accident in the elevator, who among us owners will dare to take the elevator in the future?"
People from the property management company were also frightened into a cold sweat. Faced with Qu Xiaoxiao's accusation, they kept smiling and apologizing, and said they would immediately arrange for people from the elevator company to come to repair the problem.
"Everyone is hungry! To celebrate our escape, I'll treat you to a meal!" Wang Gang suggested as he felt a little hungry.
Qiu Yingying looked at Andy, then at Qu Xiaoxiao, and said, "Do you have anything you like to eat?"
Qu Xiaoxiao said: "I'll invite you. I apologize to you for the music incident before."
After the elevator incident, the relationship between the five women completely eased.
