After the road was cleared, the group, carrying 20 truckloads of supplies, headed to the shelter.

As the person in charge, Huo Haocheng immediately found Secretary Xu upon arrival and handed over the supplies to him.

This was originally Mayor Liu's responsibility, but since he is still recovering from his injury, the handover of the supplies will be temporarily handled by the Party Secretary.

Upon seeing so much grain, Secretary Xu repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Comrade Huo, thank you so much. We will remember your kindness to the pharmaceutical factory." There was nothing they could do. Even though they had relocated the grain as soon as they received the news, Tangcheng had a large population. Even with the daily allowance controlled for each person, the grain in the warehouse was still decreasing at a visible rate.

This morning, the team led by the Party Secretary calculated the losses from the earthquake and reported it to the central government. Now they are just waiting for the central government to allocate funds for reconstruction.

"Secretary Xu, you're too kind. We've only done our bit. In the face of disaster, we're united and believe it will pass soon." Facing Secretary Xu, Huo Haoshen changed his previous nonchalant attitude towards Ge Xiaotian and the others, and spoke to Secretary Xu in a serious manner.

Deng Yi and the others usually met Huo Haoshen in private. They always felt that this kid was not as steady as his younger brother Huo Haojie. Even Sun Hongxin, who had lived with him for several days, thought that Huo Haoshen was a talkative person who did things on a whim. They did not expect that he would be so serious in front of the authorities.

"Well said! With everyone working together, we can overcome any obstacle! Your Huo family is truly blessed!" Secretary Xu had only just learned from Deng Yi's introduction that the young man in front of him was Commander Huo's younger brother.

The fact that Huo Haoshen was able to gather and deliver the supplies in such a short time shows that he is quite capable. With one brother being a scholar and the other a warrior, and Dr. Ruan overseeing things, this family is not far from making a name for themselves.

Secretary Xu is unaware of the Huo family's true background. If he knew, he wouldn't think this way at all.

After exchanging a few words with Secretary Xu, Huo Haoshen knew he was busy and didn't bother him any further.

After Huo Haoshen left with Deng Yi and the others, Secretary Xu immediately ordered everyone to register and store the items in the car.

The grain that Huo Haoshen sent this time is enough for them to last for half a month.

In the next two weeks, at the current pace of the masses, the city will be cleaned up in a couple of days. They will then visit various factories and hope that the machinery is still usable so that they can resume work more quickly.

The most troublesome issue now is the housing of the people. Staying in a shelter for ten days or half a month is fine, but if it goes on for a long time, some people will inevitably complain.

Therefore, what Secretary Xu and his team are thinking about now is how to solve the accommodation problem for the masses as quickly as possible, and then solve their employment problem. They can't just sit around and do nothing.

After saying goodbye to the secretary, Huo Haoshen went with the others to rest and have lunch together before going to talk to Ruan Ruan in the afternoon.

"Hey kid, you're pretty good. You usually seem unreliable, but you're actually quite capable when it really matters," the brothers teased Huo Haoshen.

"When have I ever been unreliable? You think I'm unreliable because you don't know me. If I were really unreliable, would Ruan Ruan have entrusted me with the factory's sales department? And with such a big task as disaster relief supplies? I think it's you who are unreliable."

Upon hearing them say he was unreliable, Huo Haoshen immediately objected. He admitted that he was a bit unreliable when dealing with relatives and friends, but when it came to work, he was absolutely sharp.

Who can be the same in both work and life?

If someone always maintains a serious demeanor at work, they'll either become expressionless or their work will make them unhappy, leading to a lack of enjoyment in life.

“Hey, look at you, you’re so different now than before. You were so composed in front of the secretary just now, and now you’re so uncomposed,” Ge Xiaotian said, pointing at Huo Haoshen, who seemed to be on the verge of losing his temper.

"Am I crazy? How can I be so composed in front of you guys? We're all monkeys from the mountains, we all know each other. What are you pretending for? I don't believe you're like this when you're on a mission."

Huo Haoshen slapped Ge Xiaotian's finger that was pointing at him with a bad attitude, then looked at him with a look of sudden realization and said, "We're all just silly guys from the mountains, there's no need to hurt each other."

Sure enough, after Huo Haoshen said that, Deng Yi, Su Yanqiu, Lin Qingyuan and Sun Hongxin, who were following behind the two, all stood together with their arms crossed, watching the two of them playfully bickering.

"Sigh, I feel like..." Deng Yi frowned and touched his chin.

"Right, you all noticed too. I wanted to say it when they were talking to each other earlier," Lin Qingyuan said casually, glancing over the group.

"No way?" Su Yanqiu's brows furrowed deeply.

"They look pretty much the same, huh?" Sun Hongxin looked at the three of them, then at the two who were still bickering like chickens. The more he looked, the more similar they seemed.

"What does it look like?"

After Huo Haocheng finished cleaning up the school, he heard that someone had delivered supplies. He knew about Ruan Ruan's phone call to the pharmaceutical factory, so he thought he would come back and take a look. It was noon, so he could have lunch together. Then he saw the four people staring at Huo Haoshen and Ge Xiaotian, each muttering to themselves.
