Xiao Hong and I waited at the factory entrance for over ten minutes.
Xiao Hong quickly changed clothes, grabbed a bag, and hurried out of the factory.
"President Wang, Daoist Jiang, sorry to keep you waiting! We... we should go!"
She spoke while gasping for breath.
Such a short distance had left her breaking out in a cold sweat.
It was clear just how weak Xiao Hong's body had become.
I remained calm.
"Catch your breath. A few minutes won't matter."
Old Wang chimed in as well.
"That's right, Xiao Hong. I know what Xiao Jiang is capable of.
With him here, he'll definitely resolve what's happening to you.
Just take it easy. Everything will get better."
Xiao Hong nodded repeatedly.
After she caught her breath, I asked for her current address.
Xiao Hong said that, for the convenience of streaming and work,
she lived in the public rental housing complex beside the industrial park. It was only a ten-minute drive away.
Since Xiao Hong hadn't driven here, after finishing a cigarette, I went to bring the car around to the factory gate and had her get in.
Old Wang kept calling out to me from outside the car.
"Xiao Jiang, I'm counting on you for Xiao Hong's matter. Please..."
I nodded at Old Wang.
"Don't worry, Old Wang. I'll take care of it. I'll call you afterward."
With that, I waved to Old Wang.
I hit the gas, drove away with Xiao Hong, and headed straight for the public rental housing.
The public rental housing beside the industrial park was almost fully occupied.
To move in, you had to apply and wait in line.
At best, it took ten days to half a month. At worst, people might wait three months before a unit opened up.
