The bodyguards guarding the ward hurriedly lowered their heads. The leader of the bodyguards said nervously, “At that time, we were all distributing supplies in other areas and weren’t by Madam’s side, so…”
“How dare you quibble! 1 think you don’t want to work anymore!” Shi Man suddenly turned around and roared at him angrily.
The leader hurriedly bowed and apologized. He repeatedly admitted that his negligence had caused Madam to be injured and took the initiative to take all the responsibility.
Shen Xian couldn’t bear to see this. She sighed helplessly and called her daughter to her. “Alright, Manman, this has nothing to do with them. 1 was careless. Don’t blame them.”
“But…”
Shi Man wanted to say something, but Shen Xian quickly interrupted her. “Alright, Mom is really fine. I just injured my arm. I’ll be fine after recuperating for a while. Don’t make a fuss.”
Shi Man’s eyes were red. She waved her hand and asked the bodyguards to leave quickly. She sighed in self-reproach. “I’m sorry. If 1 hadn’t left, this might not have happened.”
Shen Xian laughed and wanted to reach out to rub her head. Unfortunately, her arm was injured and she couldn’t move. She could only comfort her in a gentle voice. “It’s really nothing serious. You and Yi Zheng are the most tired. 1 didn’t help much. I just distributed some rescue supplies. By the way, where did you go just now?”
Shi Zhong’s scrutinizing gaze suddenly landed on the two of them.
Shi Man casually pushed Lu Xiang out as an excuse and said that Uncle Yi knew about this and specially asked them to go back and rest.
When Shen Xian heard this, she was relieved. She turned around and saw Su Tang, who was also red-eyed like an aggrieved rabbit. She said helplessly, “This child must have been exhausted long ago. 1 asked her to go back and rest, but she refused. She listens to you the most. Tell her.”
Su Tang nestled pitifully beside Shen Xian. When she spoke, her voice was thick and nasal. “Mom, I’m not leaving. It’s very inconvenient for you to have an injured arm now. You need someone to stay and take care of you.”
“Just let Dad stay here and take care of her.” Shi Man took over naturally. She pulled Su Tang’s arm and pulled her aside. “Go home and sleep. 1 have other missions for you later.”
“What mission? I can go now!” Su Tang was instantly energetic. She patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry, actually, 1 accidentally fell asleep in the car after you left. I slept for a while and am not tired at all.”
“Aren’t you tired? Look at your dark circles.” Shi Man pushed her out of the ward angrily and instructed the bodyguards to send her home. Then, she returned to the ward, the gentle smile on her face disappearing without a trace. “Can you tell me what happened now?”
Shen Xian looked at Shi Zhong hesitantly and pursed her lips. In the end, she decided to speak up. “Manman, actually, your father and I think that this accident is too strange, but I actually didn’t want to tell you. I’m afraid you’ll do something stupid.”
“Even if you don’t say it, 1’11 investigate it myself. Instead of letting me waste my effort, why don’t you tell me everything yourself?” Shi Man and Yi Zheng sat side by side on the sofa, ready to hear Shen Xian out.
Shi Zhong glanced at his wife and patted her shoulder. He sighed helplessly. “Alright, let me say it. Actually, the event location was a little chaotic at that time, but it wasn’t to the point of being uncontrollable.”
At that moment, Shen Xian personally returned to the company to organize the large-scale donation of supplies. After working with the financial warehouse management department for the entire day, she finally prepared all the supplies and personally drove them to the event location.
Shi Zhong had been staying there to coordinate with his subordinates and help build a civilian tent for the temporary garrison. When he received Shen Xian’s call, he immediately contacted the leader in charge of the event location and brought people to organize the distribution of supplies.
“It’s just daily necessities and food. Everyone will have a share. Don’t snatch it. Line up and split it according to the number of people. Don’t take too much. It will be sent to everyone!”
In front of the crowd, Shen Xian personally handed the things to everyone who was affected at the door of the temporary colored steel board room.
Many people knew that this was a free donation from the richest man in G City and were immediately grateful. However, there were a few sour-faced people who thought that the Shi family was so rich, but they only donated so little. They complained unhappily.
“How can this little thing be enough for us to share? The Shi family is so rich, but they can’t bear to fork out money for the commoners at this critical moment. These few things are not even enough for me!”
“That’s right. I used to eat fish and meat at home, but now, everyone is only giving out a few pieces of beef. What’s there to do? I usually buy a lot of his family’s stocks. I helped them earn so much money, but now, they’re actually squeezing out so little to patronize me.”
“As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Most of the money in our city has flowed into their pockets. My nephew’s small company can’t develop because they’re suppressing it from above.. I’ve long disliked them!”
