Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 1728 The cause of the fire
Zheng Duoduo watched Chen Xinzhi's car turn into the main driveway and quickly disappear among the neon lights. Then he shook off his down jacket and turned to walk towards the property center of Ronghua Mall.

At this time, the situation upstairs has basically stabilized, and residents on other floors have returned after being notified by the property management staff.

However, residents on the [-]th, [-]th and [-]th floors cannot return yet because the fire has affected their houses. Firefighters are still carefully inspecting them and others are not allowed to go up without permission.

The eighteenth floor is where Xue Ling's family lives. Currently, only Sister Achun lives there. The other floors are crowded with people. Some people are wrapped in quilts, some are wearing blankets, and some are shivering and talking on the phone. The scene is still very chaotic.

Zheng Duoduo called Xue Ling's mobile phone and found that he didn't answer for a long time.

Just then, he spotted a tall and handsome figure in the crowd. He suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "Lao San! Xiao Chong!"

Cheng Huanchong turned his head and quickly walked towards him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Dudo! Are you here too? Aunt Achun was picked up by Brother Tietou earlier, and they went to find a place across the street to have something warm to drink."

Zheng Duoduo nodded: "I know! I just sent them away. My mother will live in the courtyard tonight."

"Oh." Cheng Huanchong took advantage of his height and looked at the chaotic scene at a loss. "It seems that they can't go up yet. My mother and Brother Liao are discussing a solution."

Zheng Duoduo shivered, frowned and whispered: "Oh my god! It's so cold!"

"It's minus three degrees tonight." Cheng Huanchong smiled bitterly: "There's not much sunshine today, and the north wind is strong. It's weird if it's not cold!"

Zheng Duoduo came towards him and hugged his arm.

"Come! Let's get warm!"

Cheng Huanchong was a little dumbfounded and suggested: "Let's go, I'll take you to a fast food restaurant to buy a cup of hot milk tea."

"Aren't you here waiting for Sister Ling?" Zheng Duoduo asked in surprise, "What? You didn't come here alone, right?"

Cheng Huanchong shook his head: "My father and I came here with my mother. They are all discussing things over there. I can't help, so I can only wait here."

"You're so warm!" Zheng Duoduo simply hugged him, rubbed Cheng Huanchong's coat curiously, and asked, "Where did you buy this long down jacket? What brand is it? Why is it so warm?"

Cheng Huanchong replied: "This is a gift from one of my loyal fans. She has subscribed to my books for four or five years and has always been very supportive of me. During this year's fan meeting, she came all the way from the north to attend and queued up for me. When signing, she specially gave me this down jacket. She said that her family owns a clothing factory and specializes in producing high-end down jackets. She designed this one herself and hoped that I could accept it. She also specially explained that this one was The material of the down jacket was very good, and I was told that Antarctic scientific expedition personnel had placed an order for them, and it was very effective in keeping warm. I accepted it, signed two autographs for her, and shook her hand to thank her. The gift I received at that time was quite good. Most of them, I forgot about them later. It wasn’t until the temperature dropped three days ago that I felt a little cold. I accidentally turned over this down jacket and then remembered it. After putting it on, I felt very warm, and then I couldn’t bear to take it off.”

Zheng Duoduo muttered: "Envy, jealousy and hate! Damn it! If I had known, I would have become a cartoonist!"

Cheng Huanchong rolled his eyes and mocked: "You, a person with an annual salary of several million, will lack a down jacket? Is it possible? With dividends and other factors, your average annual income is definitely more than 2000 million! President Zheng Da, are you embarrassed to cry about poverty? Are you sorry?" "Shhhh!" Zheng Duoduo glared at him and lowered his voice: "How can you get so much... I can't take out my dividends every year, at most I can get [-] to [-]%. I still have a villa to pay. I have to pay for a car and keep my wife’s bank account. Is it easy for me?”

Cheng Huanchong sighed helplessly and asked: "You can't even afford a down jacket? That's not true, right? People who drive millions of dollars in luxury cars can't afford a good down jacket that costs thousands? What a liar!"

"How can there be millions!" Zheng Duoduo explained: "It's second-hand, just over 100 million. There is no way, I can't save on other things, I can only force myself to save a few. Let me tell you, your stuff can't be cheap - —Really! It must be more than a few thousand!"

Cheng Huanchong wrapped up his down jacket and shook his head: "I don't know the details. The fans didn't say how much it was at the time. They also said they would send me a down vest, but I don't need it at all."

His mother has always taken care of his clothes. Every time the season changes, her mother will prepare some new clothes for them, so he hardly needs to buy anything.

Later, my mother always said that when they grew up, they could arrange their own clothes. However, they were all busy and did not want to spend their own pocket money to buy clothes, so they still begged their mother to continue buying clothes for them.

"The vest belongs to me!" Zheng Duoduo immediately interrupted him and said: "You don't need it, I do! Brother, while you are wasting your natural resources, please consider those of us who are short of food and clothing! Just do it."

Cheng Huanchong: "..."

At this moment, someone was shouting with a loudspeaker, asking the residents on the [-]th floor to go to the property center office to keep warm and drink water, while the residents on the [-]th floor were to go to the Western restaurant on the first floor of the mall to keep warm and wait for the next announcement.

Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but mutter: "We are all on the [-]th floor, what should we do? It's just us on the [-]th floor! The [-]th floor has been ignored!"

"Look! Brother Liao and my mother are over there!" Cheng Huanchong said excitedly.

Zheng Duoduo pulled him and ran straight over: "Sister Ling! Sister Ling! Xiao Liao! Can you go up to the [-]th floor now? Can you go up?"

Xue Ling's nose was red from the cold, and he frowned and shook his head: "No, we can't go up yet. The power and heating are out on the [-]th and [-]th floors, and the [-]th floor is also out. Now there is water rushing up there. It’s wet everywhere, it’s not the time to go up there.”

"How did the fire start?" Zheng Duoduo asked curiously: "Did it start on the [-]th floor? Was the fire caused by the old wiring?"

Xiao Liao hurriedly shook his head and explained: "We just changed the new lines a few years ago and checked them regularly every half month. There are very few problems with the lines in the entire building. Whether it is summer or winter when the air conditioner is turned on or the heating is turned on, all lines are absolutely I can hold on."

Zheng Duoduo asked: "How did the fire start? It was in the middle of the night, which is not the time to cook! If you are cooking a meal, it wouldn't be so exaggerated, right?"

Xue Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No...it was a quarrel between a couple on the west side of the [-]th floor. The wife set fire to the suite, maybe just to scare her husband, but the fire quickly spread and burned the apartment next door. Suite. They called the police, but it was too late. It was a very dry winter, and the north wind was extremely strong tonight, so the fire burned extremely fiercely, which is why it burned so badly."

Zheng Duoduo was a little speechless, sneered and complained: "We almost set the whole mall on fire after a quarrel... What kind of showy operation is this!"
