Zhu Qing'an in the 21st century

Zhu Qing'an was an orphan who had been raised in an orphanage for as long as she could remember. After reaching the age to leave the orphanage at the age of 18, she found a job and studied while graduating with a bachelor's degree in marketing. Every year, Zhu Qing'an would send part of her savings back to the orphanage to support her younger siblings, just like the other seniors who had left the orphanage like her.

After graduating and working part-time for another 3 years, Zhu Qing'an had the opportunity to work at a major fruit import and export company in the country. Due to her own abilities, Zhu Qing'an was able to buy a condo and a private car with her salary in this large company in less than 2 years. It could be said that she made the right decision to work full-time with this company after comparing the income from working part-time in many jobs for many years.

Two years later, Zhu Qing An became the assistant head of the marketing department at a young age, which made her take on many more responsibilities than before. The harder she worked, the more money she earned from her work. The department head also trusted her to attend many seminars and meetings. Every time, Zhu Qing An would summarize the seminar and meeting attendance report into a document and send it to the supervisor to report to the higher-ups. This made her name remembered by many department heads who attended the meeting with the head of marketing. They also admired her hard work and the detailed reports that Zhu Qing An wrote as if they had attended the seminars themselves. As a result, at the end of the year when they had to evaluate the performance of their employees, they gave Zhu Qing An a lot of points without her knowing.

After receiving such a high evaluation score, at the end of the year when the company announced the bonus, Zhu Qing'an received 5 times more than her already high salary. With this money, she thought that she could help the orphanage for many more years. So Zhu Qing'an secretly made a will in her condo to prevent any unexpected events. Because she knew that the higher the evaluation score, the more work she would have to do in the following year. She didn't want the orphanage to suffer if she really passed away. And Zhu Qing'an also thought of saving this money without using it in the future, so she decided to make a will herself.

After the company's New Year's party was over, Zhu Qing'an had to go on a domestic market exploration trip assigned by her department head. This trip had to be done by someone who didn't have a family for convenience. The company saw that she had a high sense of responsibility and didn't have a family, so they sent her on the trip during the first week after the New Year's break. The company also provided Zhu Qing'an with a generous allowance for accommodation and food.

The optimistic Zhu Qing'an didn't think her boss was taking advantage of her. She was happy to earn some extra money during the trip. The trip would take almost three months to complete the inspection of all the trading markets in the country.

Before the day of departure, Zhu Qing'an had a strange dream that she would be going somewhere far away, so she prepared the will she had made earlier and put it on her desk in her condo before going to work. Because if something really happened to her, at least she wouldn't have to worry about the orphanage she had helped send money to for many years.

The trip in the first month went smoothly. Although Zhu Qing'an was tired from driving herself to several provinces in the north and east in just a month, at least the reports she sent via email, which she had carefully prepared and predicted the market direction of each province she went to, allowed the company to timely adjust this year's export plan. Now, there were only a few more regions left before she could finish her market survey duties.

The next morning, Zhu Qing'an hurriedly set off from the east to the south, the longest distance on this trip, without waiting for dawn. She planned to stop at a gas station for breakfast along the way if she was hungry. She usually did not eat at the right time when she started her journey. Since she did not want to drive too fast, she would eat something easy to eat while driving.

Due to the long distance, Zhu Qing'an stopped at a gas station around noon to refuel and use the restroom after driving for nearly five hours until the gas tank was almost empty. After filling up the car, Zhu Qing'an stopped to buy some coffee and bread to eat along the way, before walking to the restroom and washing her face to freshen up, because she felt like she was getting sick from the change in weather.

Zhu Qing'an opened the map on her phone and saw that it was still a long way before she reached her first destination in the south. She hurried back to the car without even thinking of stopping at a gas station. After starting the car and drinking a little coffee, Zhu Qing'an drove out of the gas station according to the map on her phone that she had searched for the route earlier.

Zhu Qing'an had been driving for nearly three hours when the weather suddenly changed, with unexpected wind and heavy rain. She quickly slowed down and turned on her windshield wipers all the way, but she still couldn't see the road due to the current heavy rain. Zhu Qing'an looked at the map again and saw that she was driving too slowly, and she was worried that she wouldn't be able to find a place to stay in the city that was three hours away from where she was now.

After driving and thinking for a while, Zhu Qing'an decided to increase the speed of the car even though she was sneezing and had a runny nose. She just thought about it, she wanted to quickly reach the nearest city to find a place to stay before continuing her journey the next morning. As the speed of the car increased, Zhu Qing'an tried hard to look at the road covered in rain. Many cars on the same route slowed down and drove slower than Zhu Qing'an for safety. They were quite surprised that the car with the capital plate in front of them was speeding so fast that it was scary. They who were delivery workers used to driving this route, but no one dared to drive as fast as Zhu Qing'an, because they knew that this road was not very good, and there were many dangerous curves and long straights.

Zhu Qing'an, who was driving according to the map, did not care at all how dangerous the road ahead was. Right now, she just wanted to reach the city to find a place to rest as soon as possible. While there were still about a hundred kilometers to reach the city, the road turned into many curves in a row, so Zhu Qing'an could not speed up anymore. She could only slow down to prevent accidents after driving through the rain for two hours. But as she was about to slow down again, her car lost control due to the damaged road, so Zhu Qing'an could not control it. The more she slammed on the brakes on the slippery road, the faster the speeding car spun out, making her at a loss. Zhu Qing'an tried to steer the wheel to keep it from going off the road. It was a pity that the road conditions, which were full of potholes and water, were not conducive.

Screech ! Bang ! Crash !

Zhu Qing'an's car stopped when it spun out of control and hit a tree by the side of the road in a split second. Before Zhu Qing'an's last consciousness faded, she could only think about whether in this world she still owed someone or had something to worry about. Right now, her body was pressed against the car until it was numb. She didn't feel much pain and thought that there should be a car that saw her accident and came to her rescue in time. Zhu Qing'an felt that she had waited too long even though less than five minutes had passed since the crash.

Zhu Qing'an's consciousness gradually faded from her injuries. She only thought that in this world, she no longer owed anyone anything. If she really did not survive, she could only ask that someone find the will she had written for the orphanage. Zhu Qing'an prayed repeatedly before her last consciousness faded away forever.

Several cars were driving slowly behind Zhu Qing'an. It was not until she saw that Zhu Qing'an's car, which had overtaken them several times earlier, had an accident that she had died in the wreckage of the car that had been crushed from hitting a tree with great force that they had crashed into. They could only pull over to see if they could help the driver. When it seemed beyond their ability, everyone had to get back in their cars to call the rescue team and the police instead. Several drivers who were rushing to deliver goods drove away from the scene after seeing that there was nothing they could do to help. Only a few cars were waiting for the officers in the car in the rain. They were afraid that if no one was there to testify, they might be accused of being the other party to the accident. So the three cars just waited together like that.
