1705 Truth and Dignity(1/2)
West Garden.
The old man was walking back and forth in the garden, with a look of exhaustion and anxiety on his face.
Not long after he came back, disaster struck again.
When I first heard about this, I felt dizzy.
But he still clenched his teeth and stood firm, unable to fall down.
Because everyone needs him.
He cannot fall.
The afterglow of the setting sun carved lines on his cheeks, and the silhouette behind him even obscured the clusters of flowers beside him.
Then, there was a long sigh.
There are many disasters.
The people of this land were emerging from the quagmire of disaster. Just as they were about to see a glimmer of light, they stumbled again.
Fortunately, they can still stand up.
thump thump thump
The sound of footsteps came, and the old man looked up and saw Tong Xiaolong walking over quickly, "Chief, the phone line has been repaired."
After the words fell, the old man immediately ran to the study and picked up the phone.
"Help me pick up the line."
He said quickly, waited for a moment, and finally the phone rang.
After a while, I heard a familiar voice coming from the other side.
"Old Chen, how are you doing there?"
"Chief, this time we are still in Shunde, not far from the last earthquake area."
Old Chen's voice came, and it was urgent, and you could even hear the deep exhaustion in it.
"Fortunately, this time we were prepared in advance and carried out publicity and reminders. Although it was a bit hasty, the effect was quite good."
"So the casualties this time were not large, much less than the first time."
"Now we are preparing people to go around to assist with the work."
Mr. Chen's words made him feel relieved. As long as he was fine, everything else was nothing.
"Old Chen, you should pay attention to your health and take care of yourself."
The old man said sincerely that he knew Mr. Chen's body. It was not good in the early years. In recent years, he has adjusted his diet according to the suggestions of alliance experts and it has made him better.
But in a disaster area, there are no conditions.
The last time I went there, I looked haggard.
Before leaving, he also asked him to pay attention to his work and rest, but this time there was an earthquake again, so you can imagine his work.
"Chief, when I close my eyes now, I look like those homeless people. How can I sleep?"
"This earthquake damaged the houses again. Most of the remaining houses have become dilapidated and uninhabitable."
"Right now, there is a lack of tents, food, medicine, clothes, everything."
Mr. Chen said, and the old man also responded, "Don't worry, we have allocated the supplies and will send them to you right away."
"I know, I have to go to the hospital for a visit. The situation there is quite tense. Let's talk about it later."
"Okay. You must take care of yourself."
"Yeah, you too."
After hanging up the phone, the old man was about to take a drink of water when the phone on the table rang again.
"Hello!"
"What? Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the old man didn't care about drinking water. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed out.
After making a call, hang up, then call again.
Until the evening, the old man's body had never touched the chair.
Tong Xiaolong on the side was so worried that he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't get a word in, so he could only worry beside him.
'It would be great if Secretary Tang was here at this moment.'
Guangdong Mansion.
Tang Mingyue was walking in the corridor holding her belly. As the due date was approaching, the doctor said she should move more.
Fortunately, the baby in the belly is not big, so walking is not too affected.
But at this time, she was still walking very quickly.
When I came to the door, I knocked gently, but there was no sound from inside.
Then he opened the door and saw the uncle inside talking on the phone. When he saw her, he stretched out his hand and asked her to come in and sit down first.
"I know, okay."
The uncle hung up the phone with a serious look on his face.
Just seeing Tang Mingyue smile again, "I asked you to rest, why did you start working again?"
Tang Mingyue smiled first, then picked up the report in his hand, "Uncle, take a look at this."
"There are many people from Southeast Asia coming to Peninsula Hospital."
The uncle took it and looked at it with a serious look on his face.
"Uncle, our current supply is barely balanced. If these people join in, medicines will be in short supply."
"Also, last time Leader Han sent news that the doctors in the hospital are taking turns during this period. If they don't take a break, it may affect their work."
The uncle rubbed his brow after hearing this, and then said, "There is even worse news."
Tang Mingyue looked stern.
"I just received news that another earthquake occurred in Shunde. This time it was stronger than the first time. It was at least 7.5, and there will be more in the future."
"This loss is too great."
"Materials are now in short supply, and the railway department is urgently repairing the railways. When the time comes, transportation will also give priority to ensure transportation in the disaster areas."
"Also, in the pharmaceutical factory in Sijiucheng, a workshop was destroyed because of this."
"If they want to resume production, the output will be reduced by one-third. Now they are thinking of ways."
After finishing speaking, the uncle raised his head with helplessness in his expression.
As soon as I got a little better, it was a slap in the face.
Tang Mingyue was naturally aware of the country's situation. Her family's financial resources were too thin, and one earthquake was fine. But with these successive earthquakes, the landlord's family had no food left.
"Is it so serious at the pharmaceutical factory?"
Tang Mingyue thought of something and suddenly asked.
The uncle nodded, "Yes, Yang Xiaotao reported it in person, there will be no lies."
When I heard this name, the worries in my heart suddenly dropped.
But then he frowned again.
Nowadays, relying on the cornucopia of Peninsula Hospital, it can be said that it is making money every day.
Last year, the combined foreign exchange of all industries in the country was only 12 billion yuan. However, from January 1st to now, in less than three months, the Peninsula Hospital has sent 800 million US dollars to the country. According to
The current exchange rate is almost 2 billion yuan.
At this rate, this place alone is equivalent to a year's total foreign exchange.
And this is still the early stage. If medicines can keep up, this number will be even more exaggerated.
But now, I was interrupted, which really made me feel a little unwilling.
"Mingyue!"
Suddenly, the uncle was holding a cigarette, his expression became wise, and Tang Mingyue immediately raised her head.
"You should immediately prepare a notice to the effect that our country is facing a serious natural disaster..."
"In view of this, we will exchange medicines for supplies."
"Moreover, priority will be given to exchanging supplies."
Tang Mingyue seemed to have caught something, "Uncle, do you want them to transport the things themselves?"
"My dear, we may not be able to buy things if we have money, but wouldn't it be fine if we let them transport it themselves?"
"Food, cloth, clothes, tents, etc., as long as they are materials, we will exchange them."
