However, no matter how loudly the maid called the door, there was still silence and no response at the door!
Shen Mei and the maid looked at each other curiously, feeling a little strange.
"How come everyone in this steelmaking plant seems to have suddenly disappeared, with no news at all?"
"This is not normal at all!"
The prince said last night that something has been unusual in the steelmaking plant recently.
Could it be that something really happened?
Seeing that the call to the door was fruitless, Shen Mei thought for a moment and said to the maid: "Go to the Shangshu Mansion immediately and see if Liu Qing is at home!"
"If he's not even at home, something must have happened to the steel mill!"
"At that time, you should immediately invite the prince to come over!"
The maid nodded and was about to get back into the carriage when she suddenly turned around and turned back.
"Miss, what will you do if this slave goes?"
She frowned and said, "I'm just waiting here. What if someone comes to open the door soon?"
"Don't worry about me, it's more important to go find Liu Qing!"
Under Shen Mei's repeated urging, the maid hurriedly got into the carriage and galloped towards the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
Facing the cold and towering door of the steel mill, Shen Mei did not choose to sit back and wait for death, but continued to reach out and pat the door.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
"Open the door quickly!"
"Let me in!"
"I am Shen Mei!"
"..."
The door of the steel mill is cold to the touch and extremely hard.
Shen Mei persisted in patting for a while, then she felt that her palms were red, swollen, cold, hot, and extremely uncomfortable.
But even so, she didn't dare to relax at all, and still insisted on banging the door.
In case something urgent happens inside, if you open the door earlier, you can reduce the loss earlier!
After Shen Mei patted with her left hand, she switched to her right hand, and after patting her right hand, she switched to her elbow. The two arms worked alternately, not daring to slack off.
Finally, when both of her arms began to feel a little numb, she finally heard the sound of the iron ropes behind the door jingling and being opened.
I saw a middle-aged man with a slender face sticking his head out, looking up and down with a heavy eyebrow.
"Who are you?"
Shen Mei was startled and asked subconsciously: "Who are you?"
Although Shen Mei is not a worker in the steelmaking plant, she knows that since she has contracted the canteen of the steelmaking plant, it is impossible for anyone in the steelmaking plant not to recognize her.
unless……
Unless this person is busy with business these days and has no time to come to the steel mill, so he has never seen himself!
If so, it would make sense.
Seeing Shen Mei's gorgeous clothes, the middle-aged man guessed that she must not be the daughter of a craftsman's family.
"Little girl, you are looking in the wrong place!"
"This is not the place you should be here, please leave!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man closed the door again.
Shen Mei was startled and said quickly: "Master, don't be impatient!"
"I know where this place is, this is Daliang No. 1 Steelmaking Plant!"
"I am……"
Shen Mei was about to introduce herself to her family, but when she saw the middle-aged man's expression was a bit strange, she swallowed her words again.
"I am the maid of Factory Director Liu Qing. Director Liu asked me to come here!"
Hearing that Shen Mei was Liu Qing's man, the middle-aged man seemed to finally let go of his guard.
"What are you here for?"
"But Director Liu has already invited the eminent monk to come over?"
Shen Mei was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Yes!"
"Director Liu said that the eminent monk is already on the way and will be there soon."
"Let me take the first step and open the door for him!"
The middle-aged man was a little impatient: "Why don't we just come back and open the door in advance?"
"Since you are Liu Qing's maid, then come in!"
Seeing the middle-aged man inviting himself in generously, Shen Mei was startled and quickly shied away: "No, no!"
"Thank you for your kindness, master. I'll just wait here!"
"I just want to ask Master, what happened in this steelmaking plant? Why is it completely different from usual times?"
The person in front of me didn't know myself, but most of the craftsmen in the steel mill knew me.
If you really follow him in now, won't your secret be revealed immediately?
Hearing Shen Mei asking about herself, the middle-aged man suddenly looked unhappy.
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"
"Is this something a slave like you should know?"
"If you don't want to come in, just keep your mouth shut. No one will think you are dumb!"
The middle-aged man had just said a few words when another man appeared next to him.
"Hey! Isn't this a regular worker? What are you doing here?"
"Master Han, aren't you helping Foreman Niu arrange other people? Why did you run out?"
"I'm not worried about Director Liu, so I want to come out to greet him."
"Master Han, you are here just in time. The maid at the door said that she is Director Liu Qing's personal maid. Director Liu sent her back early to open the door for Director Liu!"
Han Yang looked for his voice and saw a confused frown standing outside the door.
"Are you Director Liu's personal maid?"
Shen Mei nodded immediately when she saw that the other party looked unfamiliar again.
"Director Liu asked me to come back and open the door first. He will be here soon."
"Master Han, what happened to our steelmaking plant?"
Seeing that Shen Mei wanted to inquire again, the middle-aged man just now scolded: "I've told you before, don't inquire if you shouldn't!"
"Who asked you to ask all these questions?"
"Get out, get out!"
Shen Mei was startled, but Han Yang suddenly stood up and blocked the middle-aged man.
"Okay, okay, why should Chang Gong have trouble with a little girl?"
"Just leave this to me. Go and help Foreman Niu!"
The middle-aged man didn't want to get entangled with a little girl anymore, so when he saw Han Yang volunteering, he was able to get away.
Seeing that Han Yang was kind-hearted, Shen Mei opened her mouth and asked, "Master Han, what's going on?"
Han Yang sighed and told everything that had just happened.
"What?" Shen Mei was shocked, "It's...haunted!"
"But Prince Rong has ordered that when encountering such a situation, he must be invited as soon as possible!"
How does this Liu Qing do things?
How confusing!
Han Yang smiled faintly: "In this steelmaking plant, Liu Qing is the director. There is no need to bother Prince Rong to come forward for such a trivial matter!"
"But things like hauntings are mysterious and mysterious, and very scary."
"Little girl, you must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else!"
Looking at the weird smile on Han Yang's face, Shen Mei understood that he deliberately told himself all this, just to spread it outside.
If we don’t spread it, how can we completely make this matter a big deal?
Shen Mei was sober and saw through Han Yang's trick in an instant!
"Um...Master Han, let me go first to see where Director Liu is. Why hasn't he come here for so long?"
Shen Mei wanted to find an excuse to run away, and quickly reported all this to the prince to prevent Liu Qing from self-defeating and making the matter bigger.
However, before she could leave, Han Yang grabbed her wrist in front of her!
"How come I don't know how Shen Mei, the dignified number one tea merchant in the capital, suddenly transformed into Liu Qing's maid!"
