Capítulo 1891: Chapter 1799: Over 10 Million

“These people, I hired them with a lot of money. I see Mr. Song is quite a fighter, I wonder how he’d fare against them?” Zhu Wenhua turned around and looked at the big men behind him.

“You’re on your turf when you hit Director Zhang, but if you make a move here, you’ll have to first see if they agree.” Zhu Wenhua’s eyes cornered high, with red eyeshadow.

“Miss Zhu, I told you yesterday, I’ll take my time playing with you. Starting off with a fight, that lacks finesse.”

Song Xiaodong turned his head and saw the fire department’s vehicle arriving. He stood up, walked up to Zhu Wenhua, and faced him directly.

Several big men behind Miss Zhu quickly rushed up.

“Who’s in charge?” Leading the way was Deputy Director Zhang from the city fire department, who Song Xiaodong had called this morning.

“I am!” Miss Zhu looked a bit tense seeing a group of firefighters walk in.

“Hello, it’s a fire safety check. Please cooperate.”

Song Xiaodong led Xiao Yingying out of the way, locking eyes with Deputy Director Zhang for a second, pretending not to know each other, and walked inside.

Miss Zhu and several big men were pushed aside by the firefighters.

“Song Xiaodong! What have you done?” Zhu Wenhua looked as if he wanted to swallow Song Xiaodong.

“What have I done? I’ve been talking to you all this time. You tell me, what am I doing?” Song Xiaodong retorted.

“Evacuate the building, everyone gather in the downstairs hall.”

“Hey? Officer, what’s your name?” Zhu Wenhua hurried forward to talk to Deputy Director Zhang.

“You can call me Officer Zhang.” Deputy Director Zhang replied righteously.

“Officer Zhang, it’s like this, we’re a film company here, shooting a scene, can’t afford delays; a day late costs tens of thousands.” Zhu Wenhua pleaded with Deputy Director Zhang.

“Fire safety inspection, please cooperate.” Deputy Director Zhang remained unmoved.

“Oh Officer Zhang, let’s discuss this, I know Captain Chen Liang from your department, let’s slowly discuss, could the fire inspection be rescheduled so I can prepare?” Zhu Wenhua said.

“Carrying out public duty, what’s there to discuss with you?” Deputy Director Zhang glared.

“Please step aside, cooperate.” Deputy Director Zhang directly pushed past Zhu Wenhua’s arm.

“Song Xiaodong, you wait for me, if you delay my shoot, we won’t be done!” Zhu Wenhua fiercely pointed at Song Xiaodong.

“Humph, you say you won’t be done with me, I’m already not done with you.” Song Xiaodong thought to himself, hugging Xiao Yingying and watching the spectacle with relish.

Soon, employees from several floors up and down were rushed downstairs, some still in ancient costumes, some with only half-done makeup, some not even fully awake.

“What’s going on?”

“Fire inspection.”

“Inspecting fire safety, for eight hundred lifetimes there’s been no checks, suddenly today there is, this makes no sense.”

“Can filming continue? It’s behind schedule.”

“Agent Zhu, is the role still being discussed? If not, Director Sun is leaving!”

A noisy crowd gathered in the first-floor hall.

Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying were squeezed into a corner.

“Brother Xiaodong, well done!” Xiao Yingying looked up at Song Xiaodong, smiling sweetly.

“Today I’m standing up for you!” Song Xiaodong said.

Deputy Director Zhang went up to the second floor, pushed everyone downstairs, smoked on the second floor, directing his men to check for fire hazards.

This is a film company, with videotapes everywhere in the building, highly flammable, full of fire hazards.

Deputy Director Zhang dutifully inspected for a while, then came downstairs.

“Who’s the person in charge?” Deputy Director Zhang asked.

“I’m here.” Zhu Wenhua stepped forward.

“Your building has many fire safety hazards, I’m now ordering the company to cease operations for rectification, awaiting detailed plans from the bureau.”

“What?” Zhu Wenhua didn’t immediately react.

“Officer Zhang, there must be a misunderstanding, our company has never had a fire, how could there be safety hazards?” Zhu Wenhua said to Deputy Director Zhang.

“Once there’s a fire, it’s too late! You have videotapes, props, all highly flammable, fire monitoring needs to be reinforced, suspend business for now until a rectification plan is developed, I’ll notify you.”

“Let’s go. Thank you everyone for your cooperation.”

“Hey, Officer Zhang!” Zhu Wenhua hurried after him.

“Please cooperate.” Deputy Director Zhang replied like a broken record to Zhu Wenhua.

Deputy Director Zhang walked out the building door, pausing deliberately before Song Xiaodong when passing by.

The open space outside the building was crowded with people.

Firefighters had brought everyone out, shut down the main switch, double-checked, and sealed the building with a notice on the lobby’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Hey Officer Zhang! Officer Zhang!” Zhu Wenhua shouted until his voice went hoarse.

“Please leave your phone number, once the rectification plan is prepared, I’ll contact you immediately, thank you for your cooperation.” An employee asked for Zhu Wenhua’s phone number.

“Agent Zhu, what do we do? The shoot’s off!”

“Agent Zhu, Director Zhang left!”

“Agent Zhu, what are we doing? Just standing here?”

In the corner, Song Xiaodong quietly pulled Xiao Yingying to leave.

“Why leave? It’s exciting.” Xiao Yingying wasn’t moving.

“Aren’t you worried she’ll scratch you?”

Song Xiaodong quickly pulled Xiao Yingying to get in the car.

Sitting on the steps in front of the door, Zhu Wenhua listlessly reacted to words from the crowd, her eyes fixated on the distant car with Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying.

Suddenly, Zhu Wenhua rushed forward, violently knocking on the car’s window.
