Chapter 936: Great principles and benefit the world
Su Xing made Qin Houze wait for another day.
On July 7, the sixth day of the heavy rain in Muye, she asked them to set out from Quancheng and head towards Muye.
Qin Houze led his convoy and arrived near Muye City in the evening.
Their convoy could not move forward.
Su Xing has been in contact with Qin Houze online.
She asked Section Chief Wang about several material transfer points in the safe area around Muye, and sent the locations to Qin Houze, asking him to lead the convoy to the most convenient transfer point.
The relief supplies brought by Qin Houze were among the first batch of donations from caring people in the society to arrive at Muye, and their delivery time was second only to the official airdropped supplies.
Section Chief Wang said to Su Xing on the phone, "This 'Xiangqu' Food Factory is the snack brand that Miss Su recommended on Weibo some time ago, right? The business that can invite Miss Su to promote it is indeed not an ordinary person. The boss is a kind businessman with a big heart."
He has been following Su Xing's Weibo for a long time, and was quite impressed by the first snack advertisement she took.
Su Xing said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't take the snack advertisement. I invested in this food factory some time ago, and now I am one of the shareholders..."
Chief Wang was surprised when he heard this: "So Miss Su is one of the bosses behind the scenes! I was wondering, their style of doing things is somewhat similar to Miss Su's!"
After a pause, he said with a moving tone: "Ms. Su, on behalf of the people of Muye, I would like to express my gratitude to you and your partners!"
Su Xing said quickly, "Chief Wang, you are too polite! Our country has always had the tradition of 'when one side is in trouble, all sides come to its aid'. We are just trying our best. Compared with the workers fighting on the front line day and night for rescue and relief work, this contribution is really insignificant. I just regret that we can do too little. I really want to share more for the disaster area."
"You have done enough. This batch of relief supplies arrived just in time..."
Section Chief Wang had other things to do, so the two didn't chat for too long and soon hung up the phone.
Section Chief Wang held the phone and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He felt from Miss Su that "helping the world when you are successful" is not just empty words, but like her, she interprets responsibility with actions and conveys warmth with kindness.
……
this day.
Qin Houze and his convoy did not return to Quancheng.
He and the people he brought with him worked with the staff of the local emergency rescue command center to help unload and distribute supplies, and they were busy until midnight.
the next day.
Qin Houze asked the drivers of the fleet to drive the empty trucks back to Quancheng.
He and several food factory employees who came with him still stayed in Makino.
The supplies they brought have been transported to the severely affected areas by staff using speedboats, rubber boats and other water transportation tools.
Qin Houze and the few employees he brought with him were busy helping with some logistical work such as sorting and organizing.
The rain was still falling, but less severe.
The area where Su Xing was located had been without electricity and internet since last night, and Qin Houze felt a little anxious.
He wanted to go to the city to see what was going on with Su Xing.
But he couldn't enter the disaster area in the rain. They were not professional rescue workers. It was very dangerous to enter the disaster area in such weather. They might not be able to help, but instead cause trouble for the professional rescue workers.
He is also responsible for the safety of his employees.
It was not until the afternoon that the rain finally stopped.
Qin Houze said to an employee in the marketing department, "Xiao Zhao, come with me to the city to see General Manager Su. Xiao Li, you and everyone else continue to help here."
Xiao Zhao agreed: "Okay, Mr. Qin."
Xiao Li said, "Boss Qin, let me go too! I'm good at swimming and can help if there's anything I can do."
Others also spoke up, saying that they wanted to follow in and do the rescue work.
Qin Houze thought for a moment and asked, "Those who can swim, raise your hands. Those who can't swim, don't try to be brave!"
Several young men raised their hands one after another.
Another girl raised her hand as well.
Qin Houze frowned and said, "Xiao Bei, you are a girl, why are you joining in the fun? Just stay here honestly!"
Xiaobei is an employee in the Finance Department. We brought her here this time to do material statistics work.
After hearing what Qin Houze said, Xiao Bei was not convinced and said, "Boss Qin, please don't look down on girls! I have been working out and swimming for many years, and my physical fitness and swimming ability are no worse than you men! And don't forget, Boss Su is also a girl!"
Qin Houze: “……!”
He was left speechless by what Xiaobei said.
He was silent for two seconds, then said helplessly: "Okay, go if you want to."
Qin Houze pointed to a few more men who raised their hands and said, "You guys, come with me. The rest of you stay here and continue to help these staff with logistics work."
Everyone agreed.
Qin Houze also said to several people who were going to enter the disaster area with him: "Put on life jackets, bring some rescue tools, food and water."
Everyone agreed and got dressed quickly.
After Qin Houze greeted the staff here, he and several employees took some life jackets and some food, drove two speedboats, and entered the disaster area.
Today, Makino City is a water city, with water everywhere!
A large number of roads were submerged by water, and the water depth in some overpasses and culverts was more than two meters.
Traffic is basically paralyzed, vehicles cannot pass, and people can only rely on trucks, forklifts, boats, etc. to move forward in deep water.
Many communities were flooded, with the first floors soaked in water, and in some communities the water even reached the second floor.
Shops along the street were not spared either, as floodwaters poured in and many items were soaked and destroyed.
The entire urban area was divided into multiple "isolated islands" by the flood...
Qin Houze looked at the devastated and dilapidated scene and felt extremely regretful and heavy in his heart.
Several people on the boat couldn't help but sigh.
Only when they were in the disaster area did they deeply realize how terrible the floods caused by the continuous heavy rains in Muye were!
"It seems like the end of the world..."
"This is too tragic..."
“I don’t know when the water level will go down…”
As they came here, they found some citizens trapped in the store and took them out.
There were also people trapped on the second floor who lacked food and water, so they left some food and mineral water.
Finally, in the evening, Qin Houze and others arrived at the hotel where Su Xing was staying.
The first floor of this hotel was also flooded.
Fortunately, the restaurant is on the third floor, and the guests and hotel staff staying there were not greatly affected.
The vegetables stored in the kitchen had long been eaten up, and now the hotel restaurant can only provide staple foods and instant noodles and other fast foods.
When the hotel manager saw Qin Houze and the other people on the two speedboats coming over, he said that the hotel could provide free accommodation for the next few days.
Qin Houze and others as well as several citizens who were rescued by them expressed their gratitude.
When Su Xing heard that Qin Houze had brought people over, she hurried to the second floor to meet them.
