Zhu Jin looked through her plans for today. The final draft of the design had been finalized. She needed to find a suitable piece of jade from the company's warehouse to make the jade carving.

I didn't really want to stay in the office today, so I simply packed up my things early, told Cheng Zhizhi and went to the warehouse.

What she didn't know was that after she left the office, a figure sneaked up behind her and left the warehouse with her.

Huo Group's warehouses have a total of three large rooms, which are divided according to different prices.

Naturally, the jade Xing Huayang needs must be found in the most expensive warehouse, which is the highest level.

Zhu Jin pressed his pass on the recognition machine, listened to two beeps, and the warehouse door opened.

She raised her legs and walked towards the warehouse.

Each warehouse is divided into several large areas according to different types, and then divided again according to color, variety, etc.

Zhu Jin was not very familiar with the warehouse, but fortunately she could see the category distribution map as soon as she entered the warehouse, so she could walk inside according to this map.

It's just that the warehouse is too big, and it took Zhu Jin a lot of effort to find the jade area.

Looking at the shelf in front of him that was four or five people high, Zhu Jin lowered his head and used the tablet in his hand to control the drone to check the type and condition of these jade stones.

After selecting nearly a dozen pieces of jade by drawing on the tablet, Zhu Jin clicked submit and walked to the acceptance area next to it, waiting for the machine to remove the jade he selected.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After looking at more than a dozen pieces of jade, Zhu Jin was not satisfied with any of them.

There are a lot of jade stones in the warehouse that are of high purity and have no chance of next time. It can even be said that they account for the majority.

But she didn't want such a pure jade, or to be precise, she wanted part of the jade to be able to see the white cotton inside.

She wanted to carve white cotton into clouds.

Maybe, I should go check out the other two warehouses?

Zhu Jin frowned slightly.

According to company regulations, she can only choose in this warehouse.

After all, the quality of the items in the other two warehouses is not worthy of the price given by Xing Huayang.

If low-quality jade is sold at a high price, it will damage the company's reputation.

Zhu Jin frowned. She didn't expect that she would be entangled in this matter.

Zhu Jin once again controlled the drone to check, and after confirming that no fish had slipped through the net, he chose to send the current situation to Xing Huayang.

"Grandpa Xing, I would like to ask, can we discuss the price of this?"

Xing Huayang responded to messages very quickly, as if he was holding his cell phone and waiting for a reply.

"Is it because the price is too low to find good jade?" Xing Huayang asked.

Zhu Jin typed on the screen for a long time, and finally told the other party truthfully.

"No. The jade that the company can match your price is too pure and flawless, and may not be able to achieve the effect I want."

"So, I want to ask you if you can lower the price? I want to see if there is suitable jade from another warehouse."

This is the first time Xing Huayang has heard of lowering prices.

Xing Huayang agreed without hesitation, "Yes. I just hope that the final effect will be good. As for the price, whether it is high or low, I can accept it."

When Zhu Jin heard this, he felt relieved.

"Okay, thank you." After Zhu Jin replied the message, he glanced and realized that his phone was almost out of battery.

She returned the jade to its original position and walked out.

The pass beeped twice on the card machine, but the warehouse door did not move.

Zhu Jin swiped the pass again, but this time there was still no reaction.

The warehouse door is broken?

Zhu Jin lowered his head and clicked on the screen of his mobile phone, rummaging through the messages he had received before, and manually entered his pass and password on the card machine at the warehouse door.

However, this time there was still only two beeps from the warehouse door, and then there was no response.

Zhu Jin pressed the distress button on the credit card machine, and the machine played cheerful music, but the call was not answered.

What kind of luck was it that I happened to run into a broken machine in the warehouse?

Zhu Jin took out his cell phone and wanted to send a message for help, but as soon as he clicked send, the phone dinged twice and shut down automatically because of low battery.

She wasn't even sure if her message was sent successfully.

It’s over.

These two words popped into Zhu Jin's mind.

At this point, all she could do was press the emergency bell, hoping someone would hear her.

Unfortunately, things went against her wishes. She almost pressed the distress button to death, and there was no sound from the walkie-talkie.

Zhu Jin found a seat near the door and sat down. There was no distinction between day and night in the warehouse. She could only determine that it was dusk through the gradually cooling temperature.

After all, there is a timed temperature change system in the warehouse.

The temperature of the entire warehouse will drop at night.

Zhu Jin was very glad that he had worn a coat to cover the traces today, otherwise he would have been frozen due to the lower temperature.

Now she just hoped that Huo Jingcheng would find out that she was not home as soon as possible.

……

"Hey, why did Jinjin turn off her phone?" Cheng Zhizhi frowned as she packed her things and planned to go home from get off work.

Zhu Jin has not come back since he left his work station in the afternoon.

It has been half an hour since get off work, and she is the only one left in the entire office.

If Zhu Jin's bag wasn't still at the workstation, Cheng Zhizhi would have doubted whether the other party went home directly.

Cheng Zhizhi knew that Zhu Jin didn't have the character to shut down his phone for no reason and make people unable to find him.

She was only worried that something had happened to the other party that prevented her from coming back.

After being unable to call Zhu Jin's phone number again, Cheng Zhizhi chose to ask an acquaintance for help to investigate the number of Zhu Jin's emergency contact.

After getting the mobile phone number, Cheng Zhizhi made the call.

……

In the study, Assistant Chen quietly took away the vibrating mobile phone on the table so as not to disturb Huo Jingcheng's online meeting.

He exited the study, looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen, and accidentally pressed the call to connect.

"Hello, hello. Are you Zhu Jin's relative?" Cheng Zhizhi was a little worried.

She knew that Zhu Jin had a bad relationship with her family, so she was worried that this emergency contact would be a relative with whom Zhu Jin had a bad relationship.

Assistant Chen responded hesitantly, "The owner of this mobile phone number is her relative. What can I do?"

"Has Zhu Jin gone back?" Cheng Zhizhi asked.

Assistant Chen thought this question was a bit strange, "Sorry, you have no right to know this."

He was about to hang up the phone when the woman on the other end of the phone suddenly shouted anxiously.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"If there's nothing important, I'll hang up." Assistant Chen said.

Cheng Zhizhi hurriedly explained, "Sorry, this matter is very important."

"I am Zhu Jin's colleague. Her mobile phone is turned off and I can't contact her. Moreover, the company is now off work. But the things on her seat have not been taken away. I am worried that something has happened to her."

"That's why I wanted to call and ask. Did she forget to pick up her bag and go home, or..."

The words "something really happened" kept running around Cheng Zhizhi's lips, but she couldn't spit them out.

Subconsciously, Cheng Zhizhi did not want anything to happen to Zhu Jin.
