More than an hour later.

The door to the lounge was reopened.

Xia Yu wore a slightly oversized white shirt, her hair was a little messy, her cheeks still flushed, and her eyes and brows exuded a charming and alluring aura.

As she straightened the hem of her clothes, she glared at Jiang Ye, who was following behind her looking refreshed.

"It's all your fault! You wrinkled my business suit, and I have a meeting this afternoon!" Xia Yu complained coquettishly.

"What are you afraid of? I'll just hold the meeting for you this afternoon." Jiang Ye stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Xia Yu's slender waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and greedily inhaled the fragrance of her hair.

The two walked to the sofa and sat down. Jiang Ye poured two glasses of warm water.

The atmosphere gradually calmed down, and the topic naturally shifted to work.

"By the way, how's the Cloud Top Town project progressing?" Jiang Ye took a sip of water, his expression turning serious.

When work is mentioned, Xia Yu immediately regains her capable demeanor as a female CEO.

"The main structure of the first phase of the project has been completed, and the exterior decoration and internal pipeline installation are underway. If all goes well, we expect to obtain the pre-sale permit by the end of the year and officially open the park on May Day next year."

Xia Yu opened a document on the table and pointed to the progress bar on it.

"However, the prices in the building materials market have been fluctuating quite a bit recently, plus..."

"Buzzing—!"

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, Jiang Ye's phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly started vibrating violently.

Jiang Ye picked up his phone and saw that the caller ID showed Lei Heng.

Lei Heng is Jiang Ye's most trusted confidant at Kunlun Capital. He is usually steady and reliable. Unless something extremely urgent happens, he would never repeatedly call Jiang Ye's private phone at this time.

Jiang Ye frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Lao Lei, what's up?"

On the other end of the phone, Lei Heng's anxious, even slightly frightened voice immediately came through:

"Mr. Jiang! Something terrible has happened! There's been an accident at the construction site of the Cloud Top Town project!"

Jiang Ye sat bolt upright: "Don't panic, explain clearly, what exactly happened?!"

"Just now, a large section of the scaffolding on the exterior wall of Building 3 in Phase I of the project suddenly collapsed! Dozens of workers were still working on it at the time! The scene is now chaotic, and the extent of casualties is unknown!"

"What?!"

Jiang Ye suddenly stood up, his face instantly turning extremely gloomy.

Scaffolding collapsed!

In construction engineering, this would be an absolutely serious and major safety accident! If large-scale casualties occur, not only will the entire project be suspended indefinitely for rectification, but the reputations of Blue Ocean Group and Kunlun Capital will also suffer a devastating blow!

Just as Jiang Ye was answering the phone.

The internal landline on Xia Yu's desk also emitted a piercing, urgent ringing sound.

Xia Yu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition washed over her. She quickly walked over and answered the phone.

"President Xia! Something terrible has happened! The engineering department just received an urgent report from the Cloud Top Town project team: the scaffolding for Building No. 3 has collapsed! Some workers are buried underneath!" The engineering director's voice was trembling on the phone.

Xia Yu's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she almost dropped the phone receiver.

She turned her head sharply and met Jiang Ye's equally solemn gaze.

The two of them didn't even need to say another word to understand the seriousness of the situation.

"Let's go! To the construction site right now!"

Jiang Ye grabbed his coat from the sofa, pulled Xia Yu by the hand, and strode out of the president's office.

……

Forty minutes later.

A black Bentley screeched to a halt outside the gate of the Genting Town project site in the suburbs of Hanju.

At this point, the construction site had completely transformed into a living hell.

The once towering No. 3 building, with its densely packed steel scaffolding reaching tens of meters high, now seemed to have been torn apart by an invisible giant hand, breaking in the middle and collapsing in large sections.

Countless twisted and deformed steel pipes, broken green protective netting, scattered bricks and cement piled up into a shocking mountain of ruins.

The air was filled with choking dust and a strong smell of blood.

"Help!"

"My leg! My leg is broken!"

"Quickly, save him! Old Wang is still trapped underneath!"

From the ruins, the painful cries and calls for help from the injured workers could be heard continuously.

Several ambulances and fire trucks had arrived at the scene, their sirens blaring. Medical personnel and firefighters were conducting a tense search and rescue operation in the rubble, carrying blood-covered victims onto stretchers and sending them to the hospital.

Upon witnessing this horrific scene, Xia Yu's body swayed violently, and her vision went black.

This was a project she had poured countless hours of effort into! How could such a serious accident suddenly happen?!

But it was only a momentary weakness.

Xia Yu quickly calmed down.

At this critical moment, as the president of Blue Ocean Group, she absolutely cannot afford to lose her composure! She is the backbone of this organization!

Xia Yu took a deep breath, put on her high heels, and rushed into the construction site full of mud and dust without hesitation.

"Where's the project manager?! Get over here right now!"

Xia Yu snatched the megaphone from a safety officer next to him. Although his voice was a little hoarse, it exuded a powerful sense of authority and composure, instantly drowning out the noise at the scene.

The project manager, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, scrambled over, stammering, "President Xia... President Xia..."

"Immediately mobilize all available personnel to cooperate with the fire department in a full-scale search and rescue operation for the trapped personnel! Spare no effort!"

Xia Yu calmly and composedly issued instructions, demonstrating the powerful aura of a top female CEO in a crisis.

"Notify the finance department to immediately allocate ten million yuan in emergency medical relief funds and transfer it to the hospital's account! Tell all injured workers that Blue Ocean Group will cover all their medical expenses and provide the highest level of compensation! Let them focus on their treatment!"

"Seal off the site! No one except rescue personnel is allowed to approach! Calm the other workers down; a mass incident must be prevented!"

Under Xia Yu's clear, decisive, and effective command, the construction site, which had been in complete chaos, gradually returned to order, and the rescue work began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Jiang Ye stood not far away, looking at the woman who was calmly directing the operation amidst the ruins, who was still dazzling despite being covered in dust, and a deep sense of admiration flashed in his eyes.

This is the kind of woman Jiang Ye has his eye on: calm in the face of adversity, responsible, and decisive!

however.

Just as the rescue work at the scene was beginning to stabilize...

"Beep beep—beep beep—!"

Several white law enforcement vehicles bearing the words "Safety Production Supervision and Management" suddenly roared into the construction site and stopped directly in front of the command post tent.
