Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days
Chapter 529 Bar Fire
When this matter was mentioned, Ergou called the director of the Yangcheng Garment Factory and asked about the status of Ma Xuenong's garment factory.
The factory manager told him on the phone that he heard that Ma Xuenong wanted to sell the factory and run away because he couldn't get any orders. He had already contacted several bosses and might give the highest bidder the chance.
When Ergou heard this, he asked him to continue to find out the news.
After hanging up the phone, Ergou said to Zhang Xiuhua, "Godmother, I have to go to Yangcheng tomorrow and take over the factory as soon as possible."
In this way, he can directly expand production, establish a domestic brand, and keep up with the production line.
Zhang Xiuhua naturally couldn't stop him, "Okay! Go do your thing."
In a blink of an eye, Ergou went to Guangzhou, and Zhang Xiuhua accompanied Zhuzhu around the city.
Zhuzhu felt bored and wanted to go to the bar in the evening.
Zhang Xiuhua frowned, "Aren't you afraid of being photographed if you go to that place with this face?"
When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. Even if Zhang Xiuhua was not a fan in her previous life, she knows how scary the media is. Zhuzhu, don't ruin your future because of a few photos.
Zhuzhu smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, we can go to a bar with better privacy."
Zhang Xiuhua saw that she was ready to make a move. If she refused Zhuzhu, when she returned home, Zhuzhu would definitely go to the bar secretly. By then, being secretly photographed would be a small matter. She was afraid that Zhuzhu would be in danger. She thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay! Let's go! But I don't drink."
When Zhuzhu saw her mother agreed, she immediately agreed, "No problem."
At night, Zhuzhu put smoky makeup on Zhang Xiuhua. It was the first time for Zhang Xiuhua to wear this makeup. Looking at herself in the mirror, she said, "Why does this look like a ghost?!"
These dark circles are scary.
Zhuzhu giggled, "Mom, you don't understand, this is the fashion now. If you wear too light makeup, they won't let you in."
Zhang Xiuhua had never been to a bar, so when she heard Zhuzhu say that, she had no choice but to accept it.
Arriving at the bar, Zhuzhu ordered two drinks first. Zhuzhu ordered a low-proof cocktail, while Zhang Xiuhua ordered orange juice with lemon and cola. The bar also sells non-alcoholic drinks, including various fruit juices, which are usually used as a side dish for various wines.
After ordering drinks, Zhang Xiuhua and Zhuzhu sat at the table. She was tasting her drink while Zhuzhu was already enjoying the dynamic music.
She was afraid of being recognized by fans, so she put on heavy makeup. Not only fans couldn't tell, even her biological father Li Jianguo might not recognize her.
Others joined in the fun, as disco was the new thing at the time, and young men and women on the dance floor twisted their waists like nimble snakes. Zhang Xiuhua was sipping her drink nearby, and it was true that the drink tasted better after adding lemon.
Zhuzhu danced to the rhythm on the dance floor for a while and felt a little thirsty, so she came over to drink and pulled Zhang Xiuhua to dance with her.
Zhang Xiuhua didn't know how to do it, so Zhuzhu taught her the simplest moves. After a while, Zhang Xiuhua was sweating all over and went to the side to rest. Zhuzhu didn't force her and continued to dance in the middle of the field.
At this time, a man in a black suit came over to invite her. Zhang Xiuhua didn't understand why someone recognized her, but looking at the man's size, she thought about it and followed him.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiuhua took Zhuzhu's wine away to prevent someone from drugging it and causing Zhuzhu to accidentally drink it.
She followed the man in the black suit into the box, where there were several young ladies surrounding an older man.
Zhang Xiuhua didn't think that the man was attracted to her. No matter how much makeup she put on, she couldn't hide her real age. But what was the purpose of this man looking for her? She was full of questions.
The man waved his hand, and several young ladies left the room one after another.
As soon as they left, the man in the black suit also went out to guard.
After the door was closed, most of the noise from outside was instantly blocked out, leaving only a slight sound.
The man raised his chin towards Zhang Xiuhua and motioned for her to sit opposite him.
Zhang Xiuhua felt even more uneasy, and always felt that the other party had bad intentions. After she sat down, she took the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Are you Li Baozhu's assistant?" The man looked at her with a smile, holding a cigarette in one hand.
Zhang Xiuhua subconsciously glanced at the door. Did they recognize Zhuzhu? The next second, she stood up, her hand on the door handle.
The man was amused by her expression, "Don't worry, I'm doing a legal business and I won't force anyone. She's dancing outside, no one will touch her."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again. "Then why did you come to me? What's the matter?"
The man took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "It's like this, I'm a fan of Miss Li Baozhu. I'll give her one million and ask her to spend a night with me!"
Zhang Xiuhua couldn't believe what she heard. Her face flushed red, and she stood up, furious. "What did you say?! What do you think of my daughter?!"
The man was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that Zhang Xiuhua was actually Li Baozhu's mother.
He was about to explain, but Zhang Xiuhua didn't give him a chance, turned around and walked out of the house, then grabbed Zhuzhu who was dancing happily, and wanted to take her out. Zhuzhu thought she was not feeling well, so she let her mother lead her and walk out, but before they took a few steps, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Fire!"
Suddenly the dance floor was in chaos, the sofa instantly caught fire, and everyone rushed to escape.
But these people didn't pay, so the bodyguards guarding the gate didn't dare to let them go. Seeing that they wanted to evade the ticket, not only did they not let them out, but they locked the door instead.
Everyone could only keep banging on the door. Zhang Xiuhua and Zhuzhu watched the fire getting closer and closer. They could only shrink in a corner. But for a long time, the crowded crowd in front of them did not loosen up. Zhang Xiuhua watched the flames not far away devour the ceiling. The decorative panels burned by the fire fell off the roof one after another and fell on people. One person caught fire and could only keep putting out the fire on his body. The people around wanted to help, but the fire above fell again. They could only flee and keep squeezing the crowded crowd in front of them, causing greater panic among the people in front.
In the blink of an eye, screams, cries, curses, and wails mixed together, and this curfew cave turned into a hell on earth.
Zhang Xiuhua took an unopened bottle of Coke from the counter and pulled Zhuzhu into the bathroom next door.
Zhuzhu was completely confused at this moment, "Mom? What are we doing here?!"
Zhang Xiuhua pinched her arm with a fierce look in her eyes, asking Zhuzhu to calm down first, "Listen to me first. The door outside must have been blocked. That's why the team hasn't moved." She first explained why they had to flee in, "When there is a fire, most people are not killed by the fire, but by the smoke. We have to quickly block the gap in the bathroom to prevent the smoke from coming in!"
Zhuzhu finally reacted. She saw her mother take off her clothes, fill the pool with water, and put her clothes into the pool to soak. She also took off her coat and used the wet clothes to stuff the door gap.
The gap at the bottom of the door was easy to fill, but the gap at the top was not so easy. Zhang Xiuhua could only squat down and let Zhuzhu step on her shoulders to stuff the clothes in little by little.
In addition to the upper and lower door gaps, there was also a side gap, but the outer clothes were gone. Zhang Xiuhua had no choice but to take off her pants. Then she used the key to stuff the pants into the gap. But this pair of pants can only fit the left gap. Zhuzhu was wearing a skirt, which was not as long as trousers, so it could only fit half of the gap.
Zhang Xiuhua wanted to take off her underwear, but Zhuzhu found a coat next to the trash can, and no one knew who threw it there.
Tuck this coat into the crack of the door. The smoke outside can't get in.
Zhuzhu then began to open the window, but the window was welded with steel bars, and she couldn't open it with her strength, nor could Zhang Xiuhua. At this time, she missed her own space very much. If she had space, she could conjure a stick and break the steel bars.
Zhuzhu could only stand by the window and shout outside. Unfortunately, it was midnight, the surrounding shops had already closed, and the street was empty.
Zhang Xiuhua had been lying behind the door, listening to the quarrels and shouting coming from outside. She could also feel the heat from the door, and it seemed that the fire outside was already very big.
Zhang Xiuhua handed the toilet paper to Zhuzhu, "Take it. Stuff it into the crack of the door, and let's get some cloth to cover our mouths and noses."
Zhuzhu was slightly startled, stuffed the wet toilet paper into the gap at the bottom of the door, and then slowly pulled off her mother's shirt.
Although it was only three minutes, Zhuzhu felt like she was spending a whole year. She took a shirt, cut it in half, soaked it in water, and tied it over her mouth and nose to block it.
Zhang Xiuhua keenly noticed that the bathroom door was getting hotter and hotter. The fire was already burning outside and would melt the wooden door sooner or later.
Just then, the sound of the fire truck was finally heard.
Zhuzhu was overjoyed, "Mom! Mom! The firefighters are here! We are saved!"
Zhang Xiuhua, however, showed no joy at all, "Zhuzhu! Close the window quickly! The door is about to catch fire."
If the window was opened and the door was set on fire, the fire would jump out of the window and both of them would be burned to death.
Zhuzhu could only close the window and shout for help outside through the window.
Zhang Xiuhua kept splashing water from the pool onto the wooden door. She had no tools left, the only tool she had was her cowhide bag, which was waterproof and couldn't even fill the cracks in the door, so she could use it to scoop water onto the wooden door!
The wooden door was wet, so at least it was not easy to catch fire. Unfortunately, the fire was still spreading quickly. Even though she kept cooling it down inside, the fire outside was still raging!
Zhuzhu kept shouting at the window, but her voice had already been drowned out by the fire, and the people outside could not hear her at all.
Or maybe there were too many people asking for help in the bar, and even if she tore her throat, her voice wouldn't be as loud as the people shouting inside.
No one knew how long it was, so long that Zhang Xiuhua's arms ached, and so long that the water from the faucet stopped, but she still couldn't see the firefighters.
At this moment, Zhuzhu pointed at the window and shouted happily, "Mom! It's water! Someone is here to save us."
Zhang Xiuhua looked back and saw someone spraying water towards the top of the window. The water droplets fell on the window and left streaks on it.
