Zhou Chen was not far away from Gu Jia and also heard a few key words, such as accident and explosion.

So he instantly guessed a possibility.

"Gu Jia, is there something wrong with Mr. Xu's fireworks company? I seemed to hear an explosion or something just now?"

Gu Jia didn't expect that Zhou Chen actually heard what she said. She paused for a moment as she was standing up, but still told the truth.

"Something happened to Xu Huanshan's fireworks company. An explosion occurred in the factory, causing three deaths and six injuries. The situation is serious. Xu Huanshan has also been detained. Now the company is in disarray and no one can make decisions, so they found me."

The fact that she and Xu Huanshan were divorced had long been known to everyone, yet now people from the company still came to her. You can imagine how serious the situation was.

"I'm going to check over there now, sorry."

As she said this, she stood up and prepared to leave.

But Zhou Chen also stood up immediately: "Wait, Gu Jia, I'll go with you."

"you?"

Gu Jia was startled, but then said, "No need to trouble you."

Zhou Chen said: "How can this be considered a trouble? There was an explosion in the factory, the situation must be very serious. I will go with you, maybe I can help."

Gu Jia thought about it and agreed. Zhou Chen was knowledgeable and experienced, so he must have more experience than her when it comes to big things. Letting Zhou Chen go along might really be able to help.

"Okay, let's go there together."

Gu Jia drove Zhou Chen and soon arrived at the fireworks company.

The fireworks company rented a small half-floor of a large building in the city. The place was not very big and there were only a few dozen employees.

It was clearly already past eight o'clock in the evening, but there were still many people in the fireworks company who had not left work and were gathered together, discussing something.

Gu Jia was very familiar with the environment and people here. After coming in, she was about to speak, but suddenly she saw Lin Youyou in the crowd, and her brows immediately frowned.

The people in the company didn't care about that. When they saw Gu Jia coming, they all surrounded her.

"Jia." "Jia, Mr. Xu has been locked up. What should we do?" "Jia, someone came to investigate today and took away a lot of company documents."

…………

Everyone was surrounding Gu Jia, chattering non-stop, as if seeing Gu Jia was like seeing their backbone.

In fact, this is true. Compared with Xu Huanshan, the old people in the company trust Gu Jia more. They all know that Gu Jia accounts for most of the credit for the company's current development.

Whenever something big happens, it is usually Gu Jia who makes the decisions. This time, such a big thing happened. Even if Xu Huanshan was not arrested, the first person they would think of who could solve the problem would probably be Gu Jia.

Lin Youyou looked at Gu Jia, who was the center of attention, and her heart was filled with jealousy, but at the same time she was also a little expectant. She hoped that Gu Jia could rescue Xu Huanshan.

Although she had a purpose in getting close to Xu Huanshan, she had developed feelings for him after being together for such a long time, and naturally did not want Xu Huanshan to be locked up because of this incident.

But she was completely powerless to do anything about this kind of thing. From what she heard from people in the company, it seemed that only Gu Jia could help. So even though she was full of jealousy towards Gu Jia, she didn't dare to say a word at this time.

Gu Jia's eyes swept over Lin Youyou. Now that her life was at stake, she didn't bother to care why Lin Youyou was here.

"Don't be impatient. Tell me slowly. What happened? Hasn't the factory's management always been strict? Why did the explosion happen, and why did so many people die and get injured?"

She was well aware of the dangers of fireworks factories, especially after the problems that occurred in her good friend Shen Jie's company last time, so she paid special attention to checking the safety measures.

How long has it been since something went wrong?

A person in charge of the company immediately explained that the accident occurred because the factory was producing blue fireworks, which led to the explosion.

Not only Xu Huanshan, but also the factory director and several other responsible persons were taken under control.

Gu Jia, who understood the reason, looked very ugly. She remembered that she had told Xu Huanshan a long time ago not to produce blue fireworks anymore. Xu Huanshan had clearly agreed at that time. Could it be that he started producing blue fireworks again behind her back?

Lin Youyou, who was outside the crowd, was trembling, not daring to say a word, and trying hard to reduce her presence.

Only she knew that the reason why Xu Huanshan produced blue fireworks again was because of her. She said she liked it, so Xu Huanshan wanted to produce it and show it to her.

Gu Jia didn't understand, but she knew what she should do most right now.

"You don't need to say anything. First, settle the workers' compensation, and then work hard to cooperate with the law enforcement investigation."

"besides…………"

Gu Jia's mind worked quickly and she issued orders one after another swiftly. In fact, she had already thought of this on the way here.

"Sister Jia, our company doesn't have much money left in its account. I'm afraid the compensation for the casualties this time will be a lot..."

The accountant who manages the finances explained the company's current financial situation to Gu Jia with a wry smile on his face.

As Gu Jia listened to his narration, her expression became more and more solemn. She didn't expect that so many problems had arisen in the fireworks company after she hadn't managed the company for just a few months.

She thought that without her, Xu Huanshan would work hard to manage the situation, but now it seems that things are not as good as she thought.

But there is no other way now. If compensation cannot be made in time, Xu Huanshan, as the person in charge of the company, will probably suffer more.

Gu Jia discussed with the company's people for a long time. After she was done, she realized that Zhou Chen came with her. She quickly looked for Zhou Chen and found that Zhou Chen was sitting on a chair looking at the fireworks company's exhibition brochure.

"Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen turned around, saw Gu Jia, and asked, "Are you done?"

Gu Jia smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this kind of thing is not so easy to finish. I'm sorry to have wasted your time today."

"It's okay. We are friends and should help each other. Tell me about the situation. Maybe I can help you."

This is the time to improve their favorability. Given Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan's current situation, it is absolutely impossible for them to reconcile.

In this case, if he provides help, Gu Jia will definitely be grateful to him and think he is a gentlemanly man.

Gu Jia: "We don't know the specific situation yet. We have to wait and see what punishment and compensation the relevant departments give, and then we can prescribe the right medicine."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "When an accident happens, it's best not to make excuses. You should pay compensation if you should, and admit your mistakes if you should."

"You're right, but..."

Gu Jia shook her head and sighed. She has now divorced Xu Huanshan. This company belongs to Xu Huanshan. She can come to help, but the final decision still depends on Xu Huanshan.

Chapter 376: Taking Gu Jia

The explosion at the fireworks company's factory was very serious. Even if Gu Jia was capable, she could not cook without rice. What they needed most now was not ability, but money.

What Gu Jia lacks most now is money, because in order to save the company, they have borrowed a lot of money. So far, the house payment has not been paid off, and there is not much savings, so they cannot afford to pay the compensation at all.

As for borrowing money, she had never thought about it. She didn't have many friends, and although Zhou Chen was rich, she didn't want to borrow from Zhou Chen.

Gu Jia had no choice but to choose the only way, which was to sell the house in Grand Yue Mansion.

The houses in Grand Hyatt Residences are very expensive, but because of its good location and the fact that it is a high-end community, it is relatively easy to sell if you want to.

Fortunately, the compensation does not have to be paid immediately, but has to be settled one by one after review by the relevant departments, so this gives Gu Jia enough time to sell the house.

"Mr. Zhou, as you instructed, I have already contacted the owner and will go to see the house this afternoon. Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Hao is a friend Zhou Chen brought with the purpose of letting Zhang Hao buy the house that Gu Jia is selling.

Zhou Chen said: "Just treat it as a real deal. Don't bargain for my sake. Bargain when necessary. If you are not satisfied with something, just say it directly. Don't act too deliberate. Do you understand?"

Gu Jia wants to sell her house, and Zhou Chen is ready to buy it. If they really get together at that time, it will definitely be a surprise for Gu Jia.

It’s just that it’s not convenient for him to come out, so he has to let others buy it.

"I understand, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I promise to do it properly for you."

Zhang Hao is one of the distributors of Huaxing Group and relies on Huaxing Group for his survival, so naturally he would not have any hesitation about Zhou Chen's request.

If he could get things done well and take advantage of Zhou Chen's big ship, he would never have to worry about having no business in the future, so he worked very hard.

"Well, if you do a good job, I will increase your share in the future as appropriate." Zhou Chen gave his guarantee.

Zhang Hao immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Jay, you are too polite. It is my honor to do something for you."

After spending several days, Gu Jia finally sold the house in Junyue Mansion, and it was bought by Zhang Hao, which was equivalent to being bought by Zhou Chen.

Gu Jia has been busy with the fireworks company's affairs during this period. Because of such an accident, the fireworks company is almost going bankrupt, and there are many procedures that she needs to take care of.

Zhou Chen also gave her a vacation during this period, and she could leave at any time if she had anything to do.

After a while of struggling with the fireworks explosion, Gu Jia finally asked Zhou Chen for help.

"Zhou Chen, do you have any way to let me meet with Xu Huanshan? There are many things I need to discuss with him before I can make a decision."

Because the situation was quite serious and Xu Huanshan was under strict surveillance, Gu Jia had never been able to see Xu Huanshan. She had no choice but to ask Zhou Chen for help.

In fact, Gu Jia didn’t know that it wasn’t that she really couldn’t see Xu Huanshan, but that Xu Huanshan didn’t want to see her. He felt that he had no face to see Gu Jia, so he refused to meet her.

"Meet in the detention center? This shouldn't be a big question. I'll ask someone first. By the way, do you have a lawyer?"

With such a big thing happening, Xu Huanshan will definitely not be able to come out for a short time, so there is no problem in letting Gu Jia meet him.

Gu Jia: "I hired a lawyer, but the lawyer said that serious casualties have been caused. This is no longer a problem that can be solved with money alone."

Zhou Chen said: "In this case, our group's legal department is still very powerful. I will arrange someone to help you. Maybe it will be helpful to you."

"this?"

Gu Jia looked hesitant, but she was actually willing because she knew that the lawyer Zhou Chen introduced to her was definitely not an ordinary lawyer, but she really had no money at the moment.

Zhou Chen saw Gu Jia's embarrassment and said, "Don't think too much. The lawyers in the Legal Department are all paid by me. Let them help. It's no problem. Gu Jia, if you are short of funds, I can advance your salary from Chenxing Rehabilitation Institute."

If it were in the past, Gu Jia would definitely not do this, but now she is really short of money.

"May I?"

"Of course, unless you don't want to work for me anymore, as long as you continue to work for me, I can give you an advance. I believe in your character."

"Thank you."

Gu Jia finally agreed to Zhou Chen's proposal and took an advance on two years' salary. However, it was just salary; other things like performance bonuses could not be advanced.

Gu Jia was willing to advance her salary, and Zhou Chen was very happy because this way, Gu Jia would have to work for him for the next two years.

With the help of Zhou Chen, Gu Jia soon met Xu Huanshan. When Xu Huanshan saw Gu Jia again, he felt very regretful.

Only they themselves knew what they talked about, but not long after that, Gu Jia paid the compensation in full and dissolved the fireworks company.

It was just this one explosion that made their nearly ten years of hard work go to waste.

Therefore, a company like the fireworks company is a high-risk company.

"Gu Jia, stop drinking. If you keep drinking like this, you'll get drunk."

After dealing with Xu Huanshan's affairs, Gu Jia was not happy. Instead, she pulled Zhou Chen to drink with her, drinking one glass left and one glass right.

Gu Jia said bitterly, "I have known Xu Huanshan for more than ten years. Seeing how he looked in there, I felt really bad. I never thought that he and I would end up like this."

Zhou Chen advised: "Things in the world are unpredictable, and life is so long. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? People should look forward and let the past go."

"It's not that easy to let go."

Gu Jia shook her head. She was involved in the incident, so she knew it best. Although she had made up her mind not to have anything to do with Xu Huanshan anymore, he was the father of her son after all. Seeing him go to prison, she would naturally feel bad.

"And that woman, Lin Youyou, I thought she would leave after something like this happened. After all, there are too many women like her. But her choice surprised me. She actually chose to stay and told me that she would wait for Xu Huanshan to come out."

"Hehe, a woman who ruined my family, I only have anger and disdain for her, but her choice really surprised me, and I also admire a little bit."

Zhou Chen was also very surprised when he heard this. Lin Youyou was definitely not a good woman. Would she be willing to wait for Xu Huanshan, who had to go to jail?

He couldn't help but think of the divine matchmaker skill he used on them. Could it be related to this divine skill that made Lin Youyou really fall in love with Xu Huanshan?

Zhou Chen changed the subject and asked, "Let's not talk about this. Gu Jia, are you used to living in Chenxing?"

Gu Jia sold her house and originally wanted to rent a house, but Chenxing had employee dormitories, so Zhou Chen suggested that she live there.

Although it is called a staff dormitory, the environment is actually not bad. It is the same as a normal commercial house. Many teachers in the school live in the dormitory. It is not far from Chenxing Rehabilitation Institution, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk.

Gu Jia considered it for a long time and finally agreed. She chose a three-bedroom, two-living-room house for her father and son Zi Yan to live in.

“The environment is great, the accommodation is comfortable, and there are familiar people around.”

Gu Jia is quite satisfied with her current living environment. She was not spoiled since childhood and she has also lived a hard life. What's more, the environment of the dormitory building is not bad.

"What about Ziyan's kindergarten? Have you found one?"

"There happens to be a kindergarten nearby, but the environment is not very good. I am slowly getting used to it."

Speaking of Xu Ziyan, Gu Jia felt very sorry for her son because due to the move, he could no longer stay in Depu Kindergarten.

Depu is a top-notch kindergarten, but the kindergarten environment where they live now is much worse, but she has no choice. Fortunately, Xu Ziyan is quiet and obedient.

"Come to think of it, my dad is pretty funny too. When he saw Zi Yan's kindergarten was hiring security guards, he wanted to apply for the job."
