Chapter 3909

Qian Jianan felt he had no reason to refuse. He looked around the venue and asked, "What are the opinions of other comrades?"

Xing Guodong was the first to nod and said, "I agree with Mayor Su's opinion!"

Zheng Hong also nodded and said, "I agree!"

Peng Yue nodded and said, "I agree!"

All Standing Committee members unanimously passed Su Xinghui's suggestion. Thus, the suggestion to send a rescue team to the disaster area was decided.

Su Xinghui could see the emotion in the eyes of every Standing Committee member. Such a great disaster was a painful experience for every Chinese person. At this moment, almost everyone abandoned their prejudices and supported Su Xinghui.

Qian Jianan was also very decisive and said, "Alright, then our Linshan City will immediately organize a professional rescue team and send it to the disaster area to participate in the rescue. So, who will lead the team?"

Su Xinghui raised his hand and said, "Secretary Qian, I will lead the team!"

Qian Jianan was shocked: "What? You will lead the team? No, no, that's definitely not okay. It's too dangerous, and Linshan City also needs you."

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Qian, it is most appropriate for me to lead the team. My father is a doctor, and I have learned a lot of medical and rescue knowledge since I was a child. As for Linshan, the work in Linshan is now on the right track. With the comrades of the municipal government and you, Secretary Qian, sitting in command, it won't be in chaos. After I finish the rescue work and come back, I will work twice as hard!"

Everyone was silent. They could all see the determination in Su Xinghui's eyes. If it were someone else, they might doubt Su Xinghui's motives, thinking he wanted to use this to gain political capital. But did Su Xinghui still need to gain any political capital?

With Su Xinghui's current achievements and his background, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he could rise steadily. Why would he need to take risks to gain such political capital?

Such a big earthquake, and there were many secondary disasters after the earthquake. Going to the disaster area for rescue was not only a strenuous and hard job but also required risking one's life. How many high-level cadres like Su Xinghui were willing to enter the disaster area for rescue?

But Su Xinghui insisted on being the captain of this rescue team without hesitation. This made the Standing Committee members feel incredible. But after the incredulity, they had to admire Su Xinghui immensely. Whether they liked Su Xinghui or hated him, they had to say that Su Xinghui was a real man, a man who stood tall.

After a long time, Qian Jianan looked around the venue again and asked, "Does anyone have any opinions on Comrade Su Xinghui's proposal?"

The scene unanimously passed Su Xinghui's proposal again. Qian Jianan announced solemnly, "I announce that Comrade Su Xinghui will serve as the captain of this earthquake rescue team!"

All Standing Committee members gave Su Xinghui warm applause, which lasted for a long time.

After the applause subsided, Qian Jianan asked, "Comrade Su Xinghui, what support do you need from the city? Just make your requests."

Su Xinghui said, "My request is for the city to send a team composed of professional rescue personnel and medical personnel, bring enough supplies, and set off as soon as possible. The people in the disaster area can no longer wait."

Qian Jianan nodded and said, "Okay, from now on, mobilize the whole city and form a professional rescue team at the fastest speed!"

When the news spread that Linshan City was going to send a rescue team to the earthquake disaster area and that Mayor Su Xinghui would personally serve as the rescue captain, many people in the city volunteered to participate in this rescue team.

Ding Qingyong and Zhai Yingjie both volunteered to Su Xinghui to join the rescue team. Their attitude was very firm, and Su Xinghui also knew that they were good, so he nodded and agreed to their request.

Dong Ziqian also wanted to join the rescue team. Before Su Xinghui could express whether he agreed or not, Dong Ziqian said, "Mayor, if you don't agree, then I will ask for leave myself and go to the disaster area alone."

Dong Ziqian's attitude made Su Xinghui a little amused. He said, "Okay, you are a good young man, I'll count you in."

Dong Ziqian nodded and said, "Thank you, Mayor, I'll go back and prepare immediately."

Xia Song called Su Xinghui and said he also wanted to join the rescue team. Su Xinghui originally disagreed, but he couldn't resist Xia Song's pestering, so he had to agree. He knew that Xia Song's physical fitness had always been well-maintained, and if he joined the rescue team, he at least wouldn't hold them back.

Chai Yongxin called and said he also wanted to join this rescue team. His reason was that he was the director of the Bureau of Work Safety and was specifically in charge of safety production. Moreover, in the Bureau of Work Safety, there was already a professional rescue team. He could bring this rescue team to participate in the rescue team organized by the city and rush to the disaster area together for disaster relief.

The Bureau of Work Safety did have a professional rescue team. Its predecessor was the mine rescue team of the Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, which was specifically engaged in rescue work in mines. When a coal mine accident occurred, it could play a role. In this kind of rescue, it was indeed very professional.

Especially after Su Xinghui took office, he attached great importance to this rescue team, so he spent a lot of effort to build it. In terms of personnel training and equipment provision, it was currently first-class in the country. As the saying goes, "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a moment." At this time, it was the time to use them.

Su Xinghui naturally could not refuse Chai Yongxin's request. He said, "Okay, then hurry up and prepare. You choose ten or so of the best rescue team members, bring professional rescue equipment, and we will set off as soon as possible."

Chai Yongxin replied firmly, "Guarantee to complete the task!"

Immediately after, Wen Guoning came to Su Xinghui's office. He also wanted to join this rescue team. Su Xinghui told him to stay in Linshan, as the public security of Linshan still relied on his work. However, Wen Guoning said he really wanted to participate in this rescue team because his mother had passed away in that great earthquake more than thirty years ago.

Hearing this reason, Su Xinghui had nothing to say. He just patted Wen Guoning on the shoulder and agreed to his request.

Thus, the rescue personnel of this rescue team were basically complete. Su Xinghui also asked Yu Nanlian, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, education, and health, to select a group of professional medical personnel, especially surgical medical personnel, to participate in this rescue team.

Yu Nanlian accepted Su Xinghui's instructions and went to select the candidates for the rescue team. Su Xinghui's task for her was to select these medical personnel within two days.

Su Xinghui didn't know how many people he met and how many words he said that afternoon. He didn't even have time to eat dinner. It wasn't until after nine o'clock that he hurriedly ate a bowl of instant noodles and returned home.

When he returned home, Su Xinghui saw that the whole family was sitting in the living room, obviously waiting for him, and their expressions were very solemn.

Su Xinghui asked, "Why are you all sitting here today?"

Niu Niu said, "Dad, are you going to the earthquake disaster area?"
