190: Chapter 0191: Renovation Worker Falls Down 190: Chapter 0191: Renovation Worker Falls Down These days, Weidong had been practically living at the restaurant that Ye Qiu had rented. The restaurant was five stories tall and according to Ye Qiu’s remodeling design, everything inside and out needed to be redone in a luxurious style. Ye Qiu had already transferred two million yuan into Weidong’s bank account. Even using one million yuan for renovations seemed very luxurious and impressive to Weidong. Since that time he had tasted the Imperial cuisine cooked by Ye Qiu himself, Weidong felt very confident about Ye Qiu’s Imperial Cuisine Restaurant. However, he was a person accustomed to being busy, and suddenly being told to close down the porridge and noodle shop to take some time to enjoy himself made him feel somewhat unaccustomed. Now Weidong, in addition to having the renovation team from his hometown working, was tearing out a lot of the interiors apart from the main structure, even some of the electrical wiring needed to be removed. Last night around two in the morning, Weidong had driven his motorcycle back to the old housing complex. He took a bath and rested, and then at seven in the morning, he went with Chen Fang and Ye Xue to check on things. Of course, now Weidong had to oversee the workers from his hometown, and he also needed to accompany two construction workers to the market to purchase materials. On one hand, Weidong was unfamiliar with the renovation materials and their prices; on the other hand, it was easier to negotiate with the material suppliers when accompanied by two workers. Even so, Weidong discovered that the prices of the vintage-style renovation materials varied greatly depending on the materials. Nonetheless, he pulled out the renovation blueprints marked with the needed materials to show to the store owner, and then he knew what materials were required and their approximate prices. It was now after eight, and Weidong personally took two workers from his hometown out to buy some materials. For the restaurant, almost everything was stripped out, even the layer of dust was completely wiped away. When Weidong and the two helmeted workers reached the door of one renovation store and went inside, this particular store had just opened for business. When the lady owner saw Weidong coming over, she greeted him warmly in Mandarin. Weidong, not very fluent in Mandarin, conversed with her in Jinling dialect instead. When Weidong showed the lady owner the designs and colors of the vintage tiles he needed, the owner said, “Let me go check.” The store had various colors of tiles available including many vintage styles. Soon, the shop owner said, “Boss, the type of vintage tiles you are looking for is not available in our shop, but we can customize them for you. Any color, any shape can be made to order.” Although Weidong had anticipated this, he hadn’t really thought that they might not be available at all. “Then I’ll check other places.” “No need to look, other places are the same,” the shop owner said. This street was all about renovation materials, and everyone sourced their stocks from similar places; the products didn’t differ much, even if Weidong looked elsewhere, it would be the same. Still, Weidong wanted to shop around to compare. After clarifying with this shop owner about the vintage tiles, he and the workers from his hometown left. Just as they stepped outside, his phone rang. It was a call from his daughter, Ye Xue. “Xue, what’s the matter?” “Dad, dad, something terrible has happened.” Ye Xue said anxiously and nervously from the other end. Usually, the renovation workers from their hometown started working around six or seven in the morning, and last night they had worked very late. This morning, after having breakfast, they started working immediately. For these renovation workers, they were already accustomed to this lifestyle. While Ye Weidong was taking two of the renovation workers to buy materials, one of the workers from their hometown, who everyone called by his nickname from back home, A-Gou Liu, went along. This nickname, A-Gou Liu, was what his family called him. A-Gou Liu was just over twenty years old and had dropped out of junior high school because he didn’t want to continue his studies. Instead, he followed the renovation team to make money. Today, after he had finished his breakfast, since a glass window on the fifth floor’s exterior wall had not been removed, the team leader had instructed him to take it out as the exterior and interior were about to be renovated soon. At that time, the scaffolding on the exterior wall wasn’t set up yet. At a height of about five stories, nearly twenty meters, A-Gou Liu climbed out without wearing a safety harness, grabbing the other side of the window to begin removing a glass pane. The foreman had warned A-Gou Liu to be cautious, advising him to wear a safety helmet and, ideally, to attach a safety harness. However, A-Gou Liu didn’t listen, thinking it was not a big deal. As he was holding onto one side of the window and removing another pane with one hand, for some reason, A-Gou Liu stepped into the void, and his entire body fell straight down from the fifth-floor window. At that moment, the scaffolding below wasn’t complete, only reaching the third floor. A-Gou Liu fell straight from the fifth floor and crashed onto the third-floor scaffolding. Then he fell from the third floor’s safety net, screaming as he dropped, which finally caught the attention of the renovation workers from his hometown. Ye Xue and Chen Fang were still inside and, hearing the scream outside and learning that A-Gou Liu had fallen from the fifth floor, turned pale with fright. A thought struck both of them, A-Gou Liu was dead! When the foreman and other workers rushed to see, they found A-Gou Liu motionless, his chest pierced by an iron rod as thick as a finger, which had gone directly through his body from a very deadly spot. Becoming a construction worker was inherently very dangerous, and accidents of various kinds happened every year. However, it felt different when it happened to someone personally. The foreman hurried over, seeing A-Gou Liu covered in blood—a part of it from the fall, and partly from the iron rod that had impaled him. Fortunately, A-Gou Liu had worn a safety helmet, or it might have been even more dangerous. Now, the foreman approached A-Gou Liu, checked his breathing by his nose, and found a breath, saying, “He’s not dead yet. He’s still breathing. Call the hospital quickly.” Chen Fang, seeing A-Gou Liu’s condition, nearly fainted from fright, having never encountered such a situation before, while Ye Xue was slightly better off. She took out her mobile phone, shaking, and dialed the emergency number 120. After quickly connecting to 120, when they asked Ye Xue what happened, Ye Xue briefly explained that a renovation worker had fallen from the fifth floor and was severely injured and bleeding heavily. After confirming the precise location with Ye Xue, an ambulance from a nearby hospital was dispatched.
