Xiao Liao's hair was messy and there was a trace of panic on his face. He held the laptop with one hand and handed it to Pei Yuchi's eyes, and said anxiously: "Brother, look at this!"
Pei Yuchi was still half asleep, his eyelids were drooped and his steps were slow. shake. The moment he took the computer, his eyes widened suddenly and his body tensed up instantly.
He rubbed his eyes and forced himself to focus on the screen. Seeing the typhoon warning from the Meteorological Bureau clearly visible, his pupils shrank suddenly and he woke up in an instant.
He stood up straight, his eyes became sharp again, and he quickly scanned the contents of the alert.
It turns out that a typhoon suddenly struck without warning.
"Strong Typhoon Ai Yunrui, with a central wind speed of 200 kilometers per second, is moving towards Hong Kong Island..."
He carefully looked at the typhoon forecast path and was shocked. . The marked cyclone center is covering the urban area of Hong Kong Island, and the Convention and Exhibition Center where tomorrow's exhibition will be held is in the direction where the typhoon is approaching.
Pei Yuchi quickly walked to the window, opened a corner of the curtain and looked out. In the night, the dark clouds in the distance were gathering rapidly, lightning and thunder broke the tranquility, and the strong wind had already picked up the water vapor from the sky, heading towards the urban area of Hong Kong Island.
"Oops, a typhoon of this level may directly affect tomorrow's exhibition." Pei Yuchi frowned and worried.
Mainland people have rarely seen such a big typhoon. Xiao Liao opened the window and saw rainwater flowing in through the window and wet the carpet. Xiao Liao quickly closed the window. They knew the time ahead was going to be very tense.
Xiao Liao finally realized the seriousness of the situation: "Then what should we do now? Should the exhibition be postponed?"
He covered his chin with one hand, and his brain seemed to be running at high speed. machine, his eyes fell on the ground next to the computer, and he quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.
"Convene an emergency meeting immediately to study countermeasures with the China Merchants Bureau." Pei Yuchi gave the order decisively.
Not long after, the China Merchants Bureau called and formally notified them, asking them to rush to the temporary office as soon as possible to meet and discuss the next step.
Pei Yuchi hung up the phone and took action immediately.
He quickly changed into the clothes he would wear when going out, and hurriedly packed away his laptop, documents and other necessities. Xiao Liao also quickly set off to check the contents of the typhoon emergency kit.
Pei Yuchi typed in the work WeChat group: "Attention everyone, the typhoon is approaching, ladies will stay in the hotel on standby, and gentlemen will prepare three days of clothing within 15 minutes, gather in the hotel lobby, and take a bus to the temporary The office will arrange follow-up work. ”
The office is located in an office building near the Convention and Exhibition Center. In order to save money, the hotel arranged by the staff is fifteen minutes’ drive from the office building.
After the message was sent, the hotel suddenlyThere was a rush of footsteps. Everyone opened their suitcases and checked their raincoats, computers and spare supplies. For a time, the entire hotel was brightly lit and people were in a hurry.
The originally quiet hotel suddenly became noisy at 3 o'clock in the night. The elevator made a clear ding-dong sound as it stopped at each level, and a full load of young men poured out. They were carrying backpacks and computers, walking in a hurry, with a sense of mission on their faces.
After a while, the elevator door opened and the team members filed out and gathered in the hotel lobby. They were dragging their luggage with their hands, their faces full of solemnity and determination.
After everyone gathered in the hotel lobby, they received their work IDs and raincoats. At this time, the wind and rain outside became more and more fierce, as if it was going to swallow up the entire city. Everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything more, and just silently followed the team leader towards the work vehicle parked at the entrance of the hall.
The hotel doorman was already ready and quickly guided everyone to board several business vans that had already parked at the door.
Outside the car window, the wind roared, branches were broken, billboards were blown away, and the whole city fell into chaos.
TV stations and radio stations broadcast reports in turn, reminding citizens to pay attention to typhoons, stay indoors as much as possible, and go to the nearest shelter if necessary. Government departments also release typhoon-related news through mobile phone text messages and App push notifications.
Walking out of the hotel door, although it is already three o'clock in the morning, you can see that the government is racing against time to take a series of road management measures before the maximum wind force of the typhoon arrives.
All billboards that are prone to collapse have been removed, and flower pots and trees on the roadside have also been removed for fear of being blown down by strong winds and injuring people. Electric poles and traffic light poles were wrapped with steel cables to prevent them from collapsing. There was deep water on the road, and the road was strewn with leaves and all kinds of garbage.
The wind was still howling, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road. Occasionally, emergency vehicles roar past, blaring their sirens. The whole city was quiet, with only the sound of the wind whistling between the buildings.
The whole city seemed to be in chaos. However, the atmosphere inside the car was unusually quiet. Everyone was looking out the window intently, thinking about how to deal with the next challenge.
There were still a few people in the car who had not arrived yet. Pei Yuchi sat anxiously by the car door and waited.
Not far away, a bellman was bending over, struggling to push a cart full of suitcases alone, struggling in the strong wind.
Without saying a word, Pei Yuchi jogged to the bellman's side, took the initiative to grab the trolley's lever, looked at each other in understanding with the bellman, and both pushed the cart hard. Finally, they worked together to safely transport the heavy suitcase into the hotel. The bellman nodded gratefully to Pei Yuchi and said "thank you".
At this time, a sudden brake sound sounded, and a taxi stopped in front of the hotel. As soon as a thin female passenger stepped out of the car, she was almost knocked unsteady by the strong wind..

Pei Yuchi quickly supported her and carefully helped her through the hotel door until she steadily entered the indoor lobby.
The female passenger looked pale and was still breathing heavily, and thanked Pei Yuchi repeatedly. He smiled slightly and turned to leave.
After dealing with these emergencies three times, five times and two times, he returned to the car and continued to wait for his colleagues.
At this moment, he saw a figure running from the hotel lobby in the wind and rain, and looked out involuntarily. She covered her face with her arms and moved unsteadily towards the car.
The strong wind twisted her clothes out of shape, and they were soon soaked by the rain.
The originally light yellow windbreaker instantly turned dark, attracting the attention of the passengers. Who would insist on going out late at night in such bad weather?
The woman looked extremely miserable and pitiful in her embarrassment.
Pei Yuchi squinted his eyes and looked carefully. Heavy raindrops hit the car window, blurring the scene outside. Vaguely, he saw the thin woman walking slowly with her back to the wind and rain.
The outline looked unexpectedly familiar, and Pei Yuchi felt a palpitation in his heart. He thought of her again...
People were running from the hotel lobby to the car one after another. Everyone greeted Pei Yuchi and reminded each other to check their IDs and whether they had brought their mobile phones and other important items. .
"I was really caught off guard. The weather was still so good when I finished work tonight. Who would have thought that a storm would come in a few hours." A man with a loud voice sighed while gasping for air.
"Yeah, I was shocked too. I heard that the typhoon's path was very tilted. Why was there no wind in the forecast a few days ago? The climate has changed so much in the past few years that it is really difficult to predict "A middle-aged man in a crisp suit said with a frown while adjusting his collar.
In the car, everyone got on the car one after another with their luggage, found their seats, and discussed variously. They were all caught off guard by the sudden attack of the typhoon.
Pei Yuchi sat by the window, quietly looking at the tired faces of the people but still cheering each other up, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
Outside the window, the weeping tree at the entrance of the hotel was swaying in the strong wind, and the garbage paper on the road was spinning.
The sky is gloomy and the feeling is about to break out. The colleagues in the car looked tired. This storm will test everyone's willpower.
The staff had already sat down. Pei Yuchi took an inventory of the important supplies, returned to his seat, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for everyone to take their seats as soon as possible.
He glanced around the car to confirm that everyone was here. He cleared his throat and said in a gentle and solemn tone: "Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, fasten your seat belts and pay attention to safety on the road. We're ready to go."
Xiao Liao came over and pushed Pei Yuchi's shoulder: "Brother, who do you think that is?"
Pei Yuchi turned to look outside the car, and then he remembered his doubts. Everyone's curious eyes turned to the figure struggling alone in the wind and rain.
The figure staggered forward in the strong wind, his long hair was blown into a mess by the wind, and his clothes were soaked by the rain. Because the wind was too strong, she kept her head lowered and walked with her back to the car, as if she was looking for something.
It wasn't until she reached the car that she turned around with difficulty and looked up at the car.
Pei Yuchi recognized the familiar face through the gurgling rain. His eyes widened and he couldn't believe his judgment.
His heart suddenly tightened, and without caring about anything else, he unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door open and rushed out again without hesitation.
Everyone in the car looked at Pei Yuchi, then turned to stare at the figure standing alone in the rain.
Who is she? Why are you here? Everyone was full of doubts, but like Pei Yuchi, they were also shocked by this unexpected encounter.
The strong winds and showers whipped him mercilessly, and the showers mixed with hurricanes hit him head-on. He endured the stinging pain and hugged her tightly into his arms with one force.
At this time, the woman could not stop trembling, and the two stumbled back to the hotel lobby.
Her soft body was close to Pei Yuchi, and she stretched out her hands to hug him back. Rest your head on his shoulder. The longing and concern for many days were all vented in this moment.
"Why are you here?" Pei Yuchi looked at her soaked body distressedly, as if to confirm that this was not a dream, and held her cold hands tightly with both hands.
"Are you okay?" Sia repeated with a choked voice, her tears mixed with rain soaking their clothes. She hugged Pei Yuchi excitedly and began to tremble uncontrollably.
