Chapter 1618: Everyone is Expecting

~8 min read 1,444 words

Secretary Kong had severe hemorrhoids. After arriving in Ngari, he rode a horse to the countryside for a long time, often rubbing his pants until they were bloody.

He rode a horse for half a day yesterday, and by noon today, he was in so much pain that he couldn't stand it. He had no choice but to get off the horse and walk.

The waist-deep snow made walking very difficult, and he could only grab the horse's tail.

When it got dark, he finally arrived at a village under the jurisdiction of Gegyai.

He had already made the worst preparations, but the actual situation was even worse.

For the next two days, he stepped through waist-deep snow, visiting herdsmen from house to house, distributing disaster relief supplies and relief funds, and recording the disaster situation one by one in his notebook.

On the third night, due to days of overload work and long-term altitude sickness, he had a bad premonition.

Making the worst preparations, he struggled to support his body and wrote a suicide note in his notebook.

Gangrinpoche cried and said: "We have figured out the situation, and we have recorded the disaster situation. We can just go back and report to the autonomous region. Your body is so bad, and there is not much disaster relief grain and money left. Let others send it!"

Secretary Kong said firmly: "With such a big snow disaster, if we don't go, they will think that the Party and the government don't care about them. The arrival of disaster relief supplies is different from the arrival of people."

"Even if there is one person there, I have to go and see, let them know that the Party and the government are caring for them, are fighting against natural disasters with them, and let them feel the happiness of this life and the warmth of the socialist big family."

He wanted to leave early on the fourth day, but Secretary Kong didn't get up. It wasn't until after eight o'clock that he endured the discomfort of his body and got up.

After eating, he felt a little more comfortable, put on his cotton-padded jacket, and came out of the herdsman's house.

Just as he was about to continue his visit, two civil servants from the regional office came on horseback.

"Secretary!"

"Secretary!"

From a long distance, the two began to shout.

Secretary Kong greeted them. He thought something big had happened, otherwise, it would be impossible to chase him here.

"Secretary!" The two jumped off their horses, and one of them said excitedly: "Yugong Group has sent us a batch of disaster relief supplies worth five million yuan."

"What?" Secretary Kong seemed not to hear clearly: "Say it again."

The other young man hurriedly said: "Yugong Group has sent us a batch of disaster relief supplies worth five million yuan."

Secretary Kong was stunned. On the day he arrived in Ngari, he had a sense of responsibility and urgency, anxious and impatient, racing against time.

Conducting research, finding ways, making plans, and trying every possible way to promote the development and stability of Ngari.

So Yugong Group had always been within his sight, but he also knew that for an enterprise like Yugong Group.

With the current situation in Ngari, it couldn't be attracted, but it didn't mean it wouldn't work in the future, so he had always been thinking about it.

Secretary Kong asked eagerly: "When did they arrive?"

"They haven't arrived yet." A young man said: "On the second day after you went down to visit, the military region called to notify us, saying that Yugong Group had already set off from Jiangzhou."

"We originally thought that you would be back in two or three days, so we waited for two days. Yesterday morning, Deputy Secretary Liu asked us to come down and find you, saying that the people from Yugong Group had arrived, and it wouldn't be appropriate if you weren't there."

Secretary Kong asked: "The convoy of Yugong Group transporting disaster relief supplies set off on the 20th?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, it was the second day after you went down."

Secretary Kong asked again: "Do you know who the person in charge of the team is?"

The young man said: "Zhou Andong."

Secretary Kong said excitedly: "Are you sure?"

The young man nodded: "That's what the military region said."

Secretary Kong pondered for a while. Today is the 23rd. It will take at least two days for Yugong Group to reach Sengge Zangbo.

But Zhou Andong came in person. This opportunity might only happen once. He must go back and make preparations for the reception.

Then the remaining things were arranged for others, and he took Gangrinpoche and the two young men back to the administrative office.

…………………………

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The office door was knocked. Because the door didn't close tightly and the door leaf was loose, as long as someone knocked on the door and used a little force, the door would hit the door frame and clang, making a loud sound.

"Come in!" Secretary Kong shouted without raising his head.

Gangrinpoche lifted the thick cotton door curtain and came in: "Secretary, Secretary Gong and County Magistrate Wei from the county committee are here."

Secretary Kong closed the document and checked the time again: "Let them wait for me for a few minutes."

"Okay!" Gangrinpoche turned and went out: "The Secretary said to wait for him for a few minutes."

Gong Qianjin and Wei He were smoking in the courtyard and nodded when they heard Gangrinpoche's words.

Others also gathered together, all discussing. Yugong Group donated five million yuan in disaster relief supplies, which is indeed great love.

But Zhou Andong traveled thousands of miles and came in person, which gave everyone an expectation.

Gong Qianjin was smoking, and Wei He was a little tired from standing, so he squatted down, staring at the snow on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

Both of them were cadres aiding Tibet. After they arrived in Ngari, they actually had the same idea as Secretary Kong, which was to spare no effort to develop Ngari, make the common people rich, and be able to fill their stomachs.

When they heard that Zhou Andong had come in person to escort the rescue supplies, they felt an unusual signal.

After all, a dignified big boss has many things to do every day, and there is no need to suffer and follow along.

But since he came, does it indicate that Zhou Andong has a purpose?

Therefore, the expectations in their hearts were stronger than others, and as time passed, they were even a little nervous.

They wanted to meet Zhou Andong as soon as possible, but were afraid that after meeting, the little expectation in their hearts would be shattered.

"Old Wei!" Gong Qianjin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it hard: "You said Zhou Andong came in person, is it possible that he wants to invest here?"

In the past few days, he didn't know how many times he had asked this question.

"I don't know!" Wei He still shook his head and answered that he didn't know.

At this time, with a creak, Secretary Kong pushed open the office door and came out.

"Let's go, let's go to the entrance of the town to greet them."

…………………………

Because the snow on the road was cleared, Zhou Andong and the others were driving very fast.

"Ten more kilometers." Qiao Hui glanced at the pitch-black outside the car.

Zhou Andong asked curiously: "It's pitch black outside, you can't see anything, how are you so sure there are ten kilometers left?"

Qiao Hui pointed to his head: "Talent, you can't envy it."

Zhou Andong laughed: "When is your wife leaving?"

Qiao Hui said: "Aren't you still going back on the 109?"

Zhou Andong asked: "Going back with us?"

"It's just on the way." Qiao Hui laughed: "Just take the mother and daughter to Xining."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong nodded: "I originally thought about meeting her before she left to get to know her, but since she's taking our ride, it doesn't matter."

"Don't say it doesn't matter." Qiao Hui said: "I'll arrange it tomorrow. Come to my place for dinner in the evening, and we brothers will have a good drink."

At this moment, the light of a flashlight flickered in the pitch-black car.

The speed of the car slowed down slowly, and the soldier driving said.

"Regimental Commander, there are people ahead, quite a few, maybe the regional leaders have come to greet us." ===== CHAPTER 1619 =====
