Shuxin sneered. Wasn't her daughter the one who was embarrassed at the banquet last time? "I'm not as petty as you. There will really be an earthquake today. I won't joke about human lives."
"Earthquake?" Zhang Guosen snorted. "You think there will be an earthquake just because you say so? Who are you? A forecaster from the National Meteorological Observatory? Fan City has never had an earthquake in so many years. Who are you trying to scare? "
After saying that, Zhang Guosen ignored Shuxin and looked at Xu Xiang beside him. He said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Get to work. "
Xu Xiang saw that Shuxin was so serious and was a little scared. "Mr. Zhang, what if there really is an earthquake …"
"You believe a woman's nonsense?" Zhang Guosen's face became colder. "Do you know how much work will be delayed if so many people stop for a day? Can you afford to delay the construction period? Will you pay the penalty fee? "
Xu Xiang's face turned pale and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll inform everyone to start work now." After saying that, he walked into the crowd. "Okay, don't tidy up. Continue working."
Previously, Xu Xiang had told everyone to rest for a day, but he didn't tell them that there would be an earthquake. He only said that Mr. Zhang had said to rest for a day, so there was no need to explain anything now.
Shuxin saw that the people who had gathered with great difficulty had dispersed again. She was extremely anxious, especially when some of the workers had already started to climb up the metal frame.
Shuxin anxiously glanced at her watch. It was 8: 20. There would be a small earthquake in ten minutes. After the small earthquake, there would be an earthquake in about twenty minutes. After that, the cinema building would collapse in a few minutes. It would take some time to get down from the twelfth floor of the metal frame. If they didn't evacuate now and still climbed up, wouldn't they be courting death?
Shuxin couldn't care about anything else. In front of human lives, everything was fleeting clouds. She walked up to Zhang Guosen and said, "Mr. Zhang, you know very well the quality of your construction. If there really is an earthquake, many people will die when the building collapses. Have you thought about the consequences? Can you afford to bear it? "
Zhang Guosen's heart skipped a beat when he heard Shuxin say, "You know very well the quality of your construction." Could it be that she knew something?
Zhang Guosen immediately denied his conjecture. He did it very secretly. The people who knew about it were people he trusted. She couldn't have known.
"Don't be an alarmist here. I won't believe you. Hurry up and leave here. This is not a place you can come to."
Seeing that it was almost half past eight, Shuxin looked at the workers who had already started working, especially those who had already climbed up the iron frame. She was burning with anxiety, but Zhang Guosen was stubborn. There was really no other way. Shuxin walked to the site, opened her hands and put them by her mouth, and shouted, "There will be an earthquake soon. You should leave here quickly, or your lives will be in danger!"
Shuxin shouted several times.
The workers all stopped what they were doing. Some of them panicked when they heard the word 'earthquake'.
The sound of discussion instantly spread on the construction site.
"Is there really an earthquake?"
"I've seen on TV that earthquakes are very scary. Houses collapse and the ground cracks. Many people will die."
"The weather today isn't good either. Will there really be an earthquake?"
"It's better to believe it than not. I think it's better to avoid it."
"Yes, if such a high building collapses, we will all die."
