Outside the cafeteria.
When Dong Xuebing, Tan Limei, and the rest heard about the fire, they immediately ran out of the cafeteria and looked towards the grey building. The location of the fire was the building where the General Affairs Office was located. But it was on the second floor, and it was quite far from the General Affairs Office. The fire should not have spread to the building. Thick smoke was coming out from the middle of the second floor. The smoke was coming out from the windows. The fire was not small.
"Whose office is that? Why is it on fire? "
"Call 119!"
"I had already called it."
There were a lot of people in the courtyard, and it was a mess.
At first, Dong Xuebing did not think too much about it. So what if there was a fire? It had nothing to do with him. But when he saw Li Qing and Zhou Changchun's pale faces, he understood something. He looked towards the second floor. Damn! That was Li Qing's office!
Li Qing shouted: "Quick! All the people from the General Affairs Office, follow me! "
Zhou Changchun wiped his sweat and followed Li Qing to the grey building: "Quick, put out the fire! Put out the fire! "
Guo Shunjie and Guo Panwei had already caught up with Li Qing. Dong Xuebing knew something was wrong and quickly ran towards the fire with Tan Limei and Zhuang Zhi. Dong Xuebing knew that the cause of the fire must be the broken electric kettle. Li Qing and Zhou Changchun had forgotten to unplug the kettle before they left the house. They will be held responsible for the fire. Also, the two important documents were still in Li Qing's office. If the office was burnt down, it would be fine. But if something happened to the documents, then they will be held responsible. Maybe the whole General Affairs Office will be punished severely.
The second floor corridor was filled with thick smoke, and everyone was coughing.
A few staff from the Political Section and Finance Department were trying to put out the fire. They were splashing pails of water on the burning wooden door.
"The door is deformed. We can't open it!"
"Put out the fire on the door first! Don't let the fire come out! "
"Quick! Get a few more pails of water! It's not enough! "
Li Qing was really anxious this time. He picked up a fire extinguisher on the way here and sprayed it on the closed door. Guo Shunjie and Guo Panwei could not find a fire extinguisher and asked for a few basins from the Political Section. They went to the washroom next door to get some water. After a while, Chang Juan, Dong Xuebing, and the rest also joined in the fire fighting.
"What's going on? Li Qing! Tell me, what's going on? "At the end of the corridor, a middle-aged man ran over with a straight face. He was the head of the sub-bureau — Iron Mask Bureau Chief Yan Liang!
Li Qing panicked: "Chief Yan, I … … I also don't know why my office caught fire!" He was lying through his teeth. He was trying to avoid responsibility.
Chief Yan pointed at Dong Xuebing's nose and said: "Don't play with me! Hurry up and grab the useful documents! "
"Chief Yan, I … … I … …" Li Qing does not know what to say. "The rest of the documents are fine. But … … the two documents you asked me to give to the Confidential Information Department are still inside!"
"What did you say?!" Chief Yan's face changed. "Say it again!"
Li Qing had also finished spraying the fire extinguisher in his hand. He hurriedly said, "There was a meeting in the Confidential Department this morning. No one was there to collect the documents, so I took them back to the office and said that I would send them in the afternoon. Who would have thought …"
Chief Yan shouted: "Is that a document that can be kept in your office? Huh? What did I say when I gave it to you? Those were important files that had not been backed up! There must be no mishaps! You left them in your office and went to have lunch by yourself? Do you know how to hand over documents? Do you understand?! "
Zhou Changchun was sweating profusely.
Li Qing said: "Chief, don't be anxious. I will get the documents out now! There should still be time! There is still time! " The fire on the door was extinguished. Li Qing looked at the door and shouted to Guo Panwei: "Don't bother about extinguishing the fire first! Kick the door open and grab the documents! It's in the second drawer on the left of the desk in the living room! Even if you die, you must get it out! "
Guo Panwei understood that if he could get the documents at this critical moment, it would definitely be a great contribution. He immediately rushed up and kicked the door. Dong, the door made a sound, but it didn't budge. Dong Xuebing also saw this opportunity. But when he was about to kick the door, Guo Shunjie, who was beside him, pushed him and kicked the door.
Crash!
The door fell!
Dong Xuebing almost cursed out loud when he saw his chance to show off was snatched away.
I had done something! Guo Shunjie was laughing in his heart and was about to rush into the office!
Guo Panwei also did not fall behind. He followed closely behind Dong Xuebing.
But just as he stepped over the threshold, a wave of heat rushed towards him, bringing with it thick smoke!
Guo Shunjie and Guo Panwei were almost scared to death. They used all their strength to flee in a hurry, dodging the raging flames caused by the flapping of the fallen door!
Li Qing and Zhou Changchun shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and go! The second drawer! "
Guo Panwei and Guo Shunjie thought only the area near the door was on fire. They did not expect everything in the office to be on fire. The cabinets filled with books, the documents in the corner, the computer, the desk. Everything that could be on fire was on fire. Guo Panwei and Guo Shunjie looked at the burning office with lingering fear. How could they still foolishly rush in? That would be courting death! No matter how much credit they had earned, it was not as important as their lives!
"I can't do it. The documents must be gone." Guo Panwei said.
Guo Shunjie also dodged backwards, afraid that more flames would spurt out.
Li Qing cursed in his heart. He clenched his fist and wanted to run into the office himself. But he hesitated for a while and did not dare to do so.
Zhou Changchun looked at the burning office and leaned against the wall. He was finished. He and the Chief were finished!
"The fire extinguisher is here!" Zhuang Zhi and Tan Limei ran over from a distance. Each of them was holding a fire extinguisher and started to spray the fire into the office.
Everyone in the office knew that the documents could not be saved with such a big fire.
Chief Yan gritted his teeth and pointed at Li Qing and Zhou Changchun. "What is the General Affairs Office doing? Ah? "He took a few deep breaths and said:" Do you know what those documents are? Do you know? The General Affairs Office can't even handle such a small matter! Why do I need you all? Send me your resignation reports tomorrow! "
Zhou Changchun knew there was nothing he could do. He lowered his head and did not say a word. He had wanted to be promoted to Section Chief before he retired, but now … …
Tan Limei, Guo Panwei and the rest of the staff were embarrassed. They lowered their heads and listened to Zhou Changchun's scolding.
Li Qing gritted his teeth and could not say a word. Resign? This job was too important to him. His daughter's medical fees were a huge sum every month. If he were to lose his job, he would not know how to live. But … … it was too late. There was nothing he could do.
But at this moment, there was a panting sound from the side.
A silhouette snatched a basin of clear water, raised it, and drenched himself from head to toe. Shortly after, under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, he stomped his feet and plunged headfirst into the blazing sea of fire!
It was Dong Xuebing!
Everyone present … was dumbfounded!
This person was too powerful! He dared to rush into the fire?!
"Xiao Dong!"
"Bing Zhi!"
"Do you want to die? The documents are all gone! Come back now! "
