Chapter 3943

~6 min read 1,119 words

On this day, Su Xinghui received a personal phone call from Fang Zhonglin. Fang Zhonglin asked him to go to Yanzhong City; he had something to find Su Xinghui for. Su Xinghui, having received a call personally from the provincial party secretary, naturally dared not be slow. He said a word to Qian Jianan, then got into Zhai Yingjie's car and went to Yanzhong City.

These days, Qian Jianan's relationship with Su Xinghui had eased a lot. This was mainly because Qian Jianan was touched by Su Xinghui's personal disaster relief efforts in the disaster area during this period. After all, Qian Jianan was not an irredeemable bad person, and he was also very heartbroken that such a big earthquake had occurred.

The easing of their relationship also made Su Xinghui's psychological pressure much smaller, and he could work more freely.

Sitting in Zhai Yingjie's car was also the most relaxing time for Su Xinghui. There were only Zhai Yingjie and Ding Qingyong in the car, both of whom were his closest and most trusted people. He could put down the airs he usually put on and be more casual.

This time, Ding Qingyong and Zhai Yingjie both followed Su Xinghui to the disaster area to participate in the rescue. Their performance in this rescue activity was also very outstanding. When they were together, they had also encountered aftershocks and life-threatening dangers. It could be said that they were friends in adversity who had lived and died together, so the relationship between them became even closer.

These days, Ding Qingyong and Zhai Yingjie also received psychological counseling from a psychiatrist. Of course, they had also accumulated quite a few negative emotions during the rescue operation, but they didn't have Su Xinghui's experience of living two lives, so their negative emotions were easier to vent. After all, they went to the disaster area to rescue and did a good thing, and their self-reproach emotions were much less.

Ding Qingyong said, "Mayor, you have really made a name for yourself across the country this time. I watched the news on TV yesterday, and your footage is still being broadcast on TV now."

Some of the footage of Su Xinghui during the rescue was now being frequently broadcast by television stations as classic footage. In this internet age, this young mayor had become the first generation of internet celebrities, making countless netizens know his name.

Su Xinghui smiled faintly and said, "You know I went to the disaster area, not for this."

Ding Qingyong said, "This is what I admire most about you. Only we know that you truly went to participate in the rescue, wanting to save more people."

Ding Qingyong and the others had been living with Su Xinghui day and night in the disaster area these days. They knew that Su Xinghui's trip to the disaster area this time was really not for show, which made Ding Qingyong and the others admire Su Xinghui even more.

Su Xinghui's ability as a mayor was already amazing enough, and he could also risk his life to go to the disaster area to participate in the rescue personally. This was really something few leaders could do.

The smile on Su Xinghui's face disappeared again, and he shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, there were still so many people who couldn't be saved."

Ding Qingyong and Zhai Yingjie were also silent. They also remembered those victims. Seeing so many victims' bodies with their own eyes was also a heavy psychological pressure for them, and this was also an experience they would never forget in their lives.

Su Xinghui didn't say anything else. He was still the same as usual, lying in the back seat and sleeping. Every time he went out by car, he would lie in the back seat and sleep for a while. This was because he was usually too busy with work, sleeping at most five or six hours a day, so he had to seize every moment to restore his energy.

When the car arrived in Yanzhong City, Ding Qingyong gently woke Su Xinghui up. Su Xinghui sat up, let himself wake up, and then combed his hair, which had been messed up by sleeping just now, in front of a small mirror, making himself look spirited. This was a necessary lesson before seeing the provincial party secretary. If he met the leader with a tired face and messy hair, it would be too disrespectful and would leave a bad impression on the leader.

Arriving at Fang Zhonglin's office, Fang Zhonglin's secretary knocked on the door gently and brought Su Xinghui in. Fang Zhonglin was working at his desk. After the secretary and Su Xinghui came in, he raised his head and said to Su Xinghui with a smile, "Sit."

Su Xinghui sat down, and the secretary poured him a cup of tea. Fang Zhonglin walked out from behind the desk and sat opposite Su Xinghui.

Fang Zhonglin said to Su Xinghui with a smile, "Xinghui, your performance in the disaster area rescue this time was very good and very professional. This surprised me a little. As a mayor, how do you know how to do this?"

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Fang, actually, this was my first time doing this, but I exercise every day, so my movements are still agile. Plus, I have directed flood control and disaster relief, which is similar to this. In addition, the comrades of our Safety Supervision Bureau rescue team are really professional, and I learned a lot from them."

Fang Zhonglin nodded slightly and said, "Your Linshan City rescue team did a very good job this time, showing the style of our Yanbei Province on TV! This is very worthy of praise. When will the rescue team return?"

Su Xinghui said, "They are currently helping the disaster area build prefabricated houses so that the disaster victims have a temporary place to stay, so it is estimated that it will take more than a month to return."

Although the rescue work in the disaster area is still going on, it is no longer the focus of work because more than twenty days have passed, and it is basically impossible for any miracles to appear. Now the focus of work is to find the bodies of the victims and help the disaster area build prefabricated houses.

Of course, it is impossible to find all the bodies of the victims. For example, some people who died in mudslides, and people who fell into ground cracks when the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, basically cannot be found. But those that can be found should be found as much as possible. This is a humanitarian spirit.
