There's a big difference between six and three, okay?
Those extra three people are a matter of standard and class.
He grumbled to himself, but didn't show it on his face.
After the pleasantries, Jiang Cheng waved his hand, signaling them to follow.
The group bustled towards the main entrance of Tianlong Real Estate.
This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Xiao Xia, who was bringing clients to view houses nearby.
Xiao Xia stood rooted to the spot, unable to move her legs.
She knew Jiang Cheng was rich, but she didn't realize he was also a super big shot.
Jiang Cheng, in his sharp suit, exuded an air of nobility.
The group behind him also looked far from ordinary.
Each of them was in a suit and tie, like mafia bosses in a TV show, full of imposing aura.
It wasn't until her client spoke that she snapped out of her shock.
"Excuse me, excuse me, I think I just saw someone I know and got a bit distracted. This way, please. The house you want to see is behind this building."
Her voice trembled slightly, clearly not fully recovered from the shock.
But she still tried to compose herself, leading the client towards the back of the building.
Xiao Xia couldn't help but look back as she walked.
She saw Jiang Cheng and the group had already entered the gates of Tianlong Real Estate, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.
She knew that the gap between her and Jiang Cheng was too vast; they simply weren't from the same world.
Unknowingly, the meeting with Tianlong Company had already lasted over an hour.
Jiang Cheng, who had initially maintained his image, now had one leg propped on the table, casually playing with his phone.
His main purpose here was to hold the fort; the specific details were handled by Chen Xueer in negotiations.
So, apart from signing, he wasn't needed for anything else.
Unlike Jiang Cheng's leisurely state.
Fang Wende, currently embroiled in contract termination turmoil, sat in his office with a sickly expression, looking utterly exhausted and helpless.
Liu Ming placed a large stack of documents on Fang Wende's desk.
Liu Ming said, "These are all contracts for terminating cooperation. The company is now struggling in Chengdu, and the only hope is to shift the market to other provinces; perhaps there's a glimmer of hope..."
Fang Wende sighed.
When the company started, it relied on Zhou Ying's father's connections.
But ever since the company took off, he had been complacent, not actively expanding his network.
Facing the current predicament, he felt helpless and lacked confidence.
Moreover, he was already this old; he had lost all fighting spirit, and starting from scratch was impossible for him.
At this moment, all his hopes still rested on Fang Yuan.
He only hoped that Fang Yuan could make Jiang Cheng let him go, thereby resolving the matter directly.
Fang Wende smacked his lips and reluctantly said, "Moving to another province? How can it be that easy? Who will go to drum up business? We're unfamiliar with the place."
Liu Ming sighed. He knew the company's situation was extremely critical, and if they couldn't open up new markets in time, the company would go bankrupt sooner or later.
At this point, he was also the only one in the company still willing to work hard.
"With so many people in the company, if it really goes bankrupt, they'll lose their jobs. I'm the only one who can go," Liu Ming's voice held a trace of helplessness and determination.
"Liu Ming, the company truly can't do without you," Fang Wende's tone was full of hypocrisy and flattery.
Liu Ming couldn't help but glance at him with anger and contempt.
He knew Fang Wende was waiting for him to say just that.
And he also knew that Fang Wende was an incompetent person who had never truly contributed to the company's development.
Besides enjoying the fruits of others' labor, he only ever thought about how to shirk responsibility.
Just then, a huge explosion sound came through.
The sound was so immense that even the glass of the entire building could be felt vibrating.
Fang Wende and Liu Ming were startled by the sudden sound, their faces instantly turning pale.
Then, a piercing fire alarm rang out, reaching everyone's ears.
Listening to the alarm, the two exchanged glances, a hint of fear in their eyes.
Liu Ming and Fang Wende looked out the window in horror, seeing a fireball rise in the distance, with thick black smoke filling the sky.
"What's going on?" Fang Wende asked in terror.
"How should I know? Let's get out of here first!"
The two got up without hesitation, quickly walked out of the office, and rushed towards the downstairs.
When they reached the first floor, they saw some workers hurrying towards the exit.
Liu Ming was anxious and grabbed one of them, asking, "What's happening? Why is there such a strong smell?"
The worker, looking terrified and out of breath, replied, "Manager Liu... Liu, the transport department suddenly exploded and caught fire for some reason. Everyone is running towards the exit, run! Don't wait for another explosion."
With that, he hurriedly ran outside.
Liu Ming was startled by the news. He immediately turned and shouted to Fang Wende, "It's on fire! Quick, put out the fire! Don't run yet, call the fire department! Has the fire department been called?"
Fang Wende awoke as if from a dream and quickly pulled out his phone to dial the fire department.
After more than ten seconds, the call was answered.
Fang Wende's fingers trembled, and his voice was slightly panicked: "Hello, is this the fire department? Our company's transport department has exploded and caught fire. Please come to rescue us as soon as possible! The address is..."
After making the call, Fang Wende also quickly rushed to the raw material area.
He saw Liu Ming organizing other workers to extinguish the fire and evacuate.
Looking at the increasingly large fire, Fang Wende felt his heart pounding, as if it would leap out of his throat.
He picked up the nearby fire extinguisher and sprayed it a few times with force.
However, the fire was too big; the flames had already shot up several meters high, and the fire extinguisher simply couldn't put out such a large fire.
At this moment, there were even crackling sounds coming from inside, as if goods were bursting as they burned.
Fang Wende became even more frightened; he couldn't imagine how terrible the situation inside was.
In his fear, he immediately dropped the fire extinguisher and ran towards the exit.
Seeing Fang Wende lead the way, some other workers who were helping to put out the fire also quickly ran away.
After all, if the boss ran, why should they work so hard? Were they trying to die?
Liu Ming sighed helplessly when he saw everyone had run away.
Watching the fire grow larger and uncontrollable.
Liu Ming could only helplessly run out of the raw material area.
Fang Wende's face was ashen at this moment.
He stood there blankly, looking at the raging inferno, his heart filled with despair.
There was a considerable amount of goods in the raw material area; almost all the products their company had recently squeezed out were in there.
And most importantly, the equipment.
This equipment had all been bought recently at a high price.
Now, it was all burned to ashes in this one fire.
Compared to Fang Wende, Liu Ming was more concerned about the safety of the employees.
He anxiously turned to the employees and asked, "Has everyone inside run out? Is anyone still in there?"
An old employee, whose face was covered in soot, said, "Probably not. I didn't hear anyone shouting. It was just quitting time, and everyone went to the cafeteria to eat. Logically, no one should have been left inside."
Liu Ming's expression immediately relaxed upon hearing this.
In contrast, Fang Wende on the side began to wail, looking at the towering flames, crying, "How could this happen all of a sudden? Who did this? How could it just catch fire out of nowhere? These facilities are all money!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another explosion came from inside.
With a rumbling sound, the deafening noise was as if the whole world was about to explode.
The employees gathered at the factory gate immediately ran further away.
Fang Wende's heart was also shattered by the loud bang.
He knew that his years of hard work and effort had all turned to ashes in this great fire.
"A disaster!" Fang Wende sighed to the heavens, tears streaming down his face.
