Shuxin was speechless. She had wanted to warn them in advance so that they wouldn't be frightened when the earthquake came. But now, they were already frightened before it even came. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have told them in advance.
Shu Youkang was much calmer than Cao Guifang. "This kind of thing might not happen. Mom, don't scare yourself. We're in a flat area and there hasn't been an earthquake in so many years. It shouldn't be a problem. I won't go to work tomorrow. I'll accompany you to the park to relax.
It's safe. "" Yes, let Dad accompany you. "Shuxin nodded quickly.
Her son's words were still the most effective.
Cao Guifang instantly calmed down. "Xin 'er, don't go to work either. Let's go to the park together."
Shuxin found an excuse. "I have an important client to meet tomorrow. I have to go. Don't worry about me. Just like Dad said, this kind of thing might not happen. I can't lose a client for nothing."
…
The next day
Shuxin went directly from the Shu family's house to the construction site of the movie theater. She set off at seven o 'clock.
Perhaps it was because of the upcoming earthquake, the weather was extremely gloomy.
On the way, Shuxin was worried about Huo Yanqing, so she called Song Li.
Although she knew that the Huo Corporation's building was definitely very earthquake-proof, Huo Yanqing couldn't see after all. What if something hanging from the ceiling fell down during the earthquake and hurt his head?
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. "Miss Shu, what's the matter?"
Shuxin said, "There might be a magnitude 4 earthquake in Fancheng today. Fifth Uncle can't see, so take care of him."
"Ah?" The other end was obviously surprised.
"Nothing else. I just want you to be careful. Alright, I have something to do. I'll hang up first." Shuxin hurriedly hung up the phone. She was afraid that Song Li would ask her how she knew there would be an earthquake. She didn't know how to answer.
The excuse that her classmate's mother was from the Forecast Bureau might work on her grandmother and father, but it definitely wouldn't work on Song Li.
On the other end, Song Li was driving to pick up Huo Yanqing for work. When Shuxin called just now, he directly put it on speaker, so Huo Yanqing, who was sitting in the back seat, also heard it.
After Shuxin hung up, Song Li glanced at Huo Yanqing in the backseat. "The Fifth Lord, is Miss Shu's information reliable?"
Huo Yanqing frowned subconsciously. It was still early in the morning, and some departments in the army were not open yet. After a moment of silence, he said, "Call the meteorological department in the capital at 8: 30 a.m. and ask about the situation."
"Alright."
…
When Shuxin arrived at the construction site, it was almost half past seven.
She remembered that in her previous life, the earthquake started at 8: 30 in the morning. The first time was only a small tremor. The tremor was very short, so people didn't notice it.
At around 8: 50 a.m., it turned into a felt earthquake, and then the number of tremors became more frequent.
In her previous life, the cinema building collapsed at around 9 a.m.
Shuxin walked to the entrance, but the guard stopped her. "Miss, this is a construction site. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Shuxin had already thought of an excuse. "I'm from the Huo Group. I'm here for an inspection."
The guard said, "Please wait." Then he picked up the landline and dialed a number. "Hello, Worker Xu. There's someone claiming to be from the Huo Group here for an inspection. Let me … I don't know. Let me ask."
The guard looked at Shuxin. "What's your name?"
"Cozy. I'm Secretary Song's assistant from the Huo Group." Shuxin thought that since this place was far from the Huansen Group, Zhang Guosen couldn't have come here so early. Even if she wore female clothes and used the name Cozy, no one would know. Cozy had indeed gone to the Huansen Group yesterday to accompany Song Li for an inspection, so even if the guard called to ask, there wouldn't be any problems.
