Chapter 2166

Ke Zhifang walked a long way along the foot of the embankment before going up the embankment. Yuan Yifu and Su Xinghui both followed him up and down the embankment.

It is already the end of June. After the heavy rain in the previous period ended, it immediately ushered in the scorching sun, and the weather has become quite hot. At the foot of the embankment, there is no shelter, so the group of people all broke out in a sweat.

Ke Zhifang nodded and said, "The quality of your project is indeed good. The three hundred million spent is not a loss!"

Su Xinghui said, "For the safety of the lives and property of more than 400,000 people in Chongjin County, let alone three hundred million, even three billion should be spent if it needs to be spent!"

Ke Zhifang said, "Yes, we Communists must always keep the safety of the people in our hearts."

Yuan Yifu wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "The Provincial Governor said it very well. We will definitely follow the instructions of the Provincial Governor. However, Provincial Governor, it is too hot, so don't stand here. Go to the tent and sit for a while."

They were standing on the top of the embankment, and there was no shelter here either. Under the scorching sun, it was indeed quite hot. In just a while, the clothes worn by several people had already been soaked with sweat.

It is actually quite hot in the tent, but without the scorching sun, it is still better.

Ke Zhifang looked at Yuan Yifu and pointed to those people running with sandbags, "They are still carrying sandbags, and we are complaining while empty-handed? I am here specifically to inspect the situation of flood control and disaster relief. What can I see in the tent?"

Yuan Yifu originally wanted to flatter, but who would have thought that the flattery would hit the horse's hoof? Ke Zhifang didn't buy this at all, giving him a hard-soft nail.

However, Yuan Yifu was not very embarrassed. What does it matter to be reprimanded by the Provincial Governor? He laughed dryly and said, "The Provincial Governor said it well."

Ke Zhifang walked to the edge of the embankment and looked at the river surface. His brows furrowed. The water level is already very high now, and it is only a few meters away from the top of the embankment. If the embankment in Chongjin County had not been reinforced and raised, I fear that the current water level would have already approached the top of the embankment.

Ke Zhifang has been a cadre for decades, and the number of times he has participated in flood control and disaster relief is countless, but he has never seen a year where the flood water level was so high.

It's not even July yet, and it hasn't entered the main flood season, but the water level is already so high. If it reaches July or August, what will happen?

Ke Zhifang has already received news from the National Flood Control Headquarters that heavy rain is still falling in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and there is no sign of it stopping in the short term. The flood control pressure in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will become greater and greater, and the pressure on his shoulders as a provincial governor will of course become greater and greater.

Yuan Yifu asked a staff member to go to the tent to get a box of water. He first handed a bottle to Ke Zhifang, and then handed a bottle to each of Ke Zhifang's entourage.

Ke Zhifang did not refuse. Now he is covered in sweat and really needs to replenish some water. He said "Thank you" and opened the bottle cap and drank.

Others also unscrewed the bottle caps and began to drink water.

Ke Zhifang took a sip of water and then asked, "Is the drinking water for these flood control personnel guaranteed?"

Yuan Yifu nodded and said, "A friend of Comrade Su Xinghui donated tens of thousands of boxes of mineral water to us. There is enough on the embankment sections of the whole county, which can absolutely guarantee the drinking water needs of flood control personnel."

Ke Zhifang nodded. This made him very satisfied. When he inspected the flood control and disaster relief site in Hongzhou, he often saw those flood control personnel drinking water from rivers and lakes when they were thirsty.

The heavy rain this time came unexpectedly, and even Hongzhou City was not prepared, with various situations occurring frequently. I didn't expect Chongjin County to be so well-prepared and meticulous.

Yuan Yifu pointed to those tents again and said, "Comrade Su Xinghui's friend also donated many tents, as well as other supplies, such as instant noodles, medicines, tools, and clothes. These supplies have played a very big role in our flood control and disaster relief work in Chongjin County."

Ke Zhifang nodded again. Of course, he knew this situation. He also knew that Su Xinghui's friends were the siblings Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu. Of course, Su Xinghui also had other friends who donated a lot of money and supplies to the Yu siblings' charitable foundation.

This makes the flood control and disaster relief situation in Chongjin County much stronger than in other places.

Yuan Yifu desperately said good things about Su Xinghui, actually just to please Ke Zhifang. Su Xinghui is Ke Zhifang's confidant. Isn't saying good things about Su Xinghui in front of Ke Zhifang saying that Ke Zhifang is good at using people?

Ke Zhifang of course knew this point well. He smiled and nodded, "Such people who are enthusiastic about public welfare are very rare, and this is also worth advocating. Comrade Xinghui, who are these friends of yours?"

Su Xinghui said, "They are all some of my investor friends, and they are all very enthusiastic about public welfare."

Ke Zhifang said, "Good, they not only value economic benefits but also did not ignore social benefits, knowing how to give back to society. This is a behavior worth our vigorous advocacy!"

Su Xinghui said, "Then I have an uninvited request. I don't know if Provincial Governor Ke is willing to meet them?"

It is of course very easy for Yu Ruizhi and the others to meet Ke Zhifang, but it is not so easy for other investors to meet a provincial governor. They also donated a lot of supplies this time. If Ke Zhifang can meet them, it can be considered a kind of encouragement to them.

Such encouragement will make them or other businessmen more enthusiastic about public welfare in the future.

Hearing Su Xinghui's request, Ke Zhifang smiled and nodded, "Yes, where should we meet?"

Su Xinghui said, "How about I call them and ask them to hurry to the embankment."

Ke Zhifang looked at the river surface outside the embankment and nodded, "Yes, meeting in this place is still very meaningful."
