Because the city was developed early, the entire ground hardening project left almost no room for rainwater infiltration. Or rather, even the most advanced infiltration technology could not cope with such a large flood.

Chen Dong waded back home and was relieved to see that everyone in his family was safe and sound. He then used the home phone to contact Liu Huiming.

"How are Annie and Zhou Huimin?" Chen Nan seized the opportunity to pull Chen Dong aside and ask him, "You said you were going to marry them last time, but you broke your promise. They went to a bar and got completely drunk."

Chen Dong's mind was not on matters of love at all. He turned around, glanced at his parents who were looking at him expectantly outside, and quickly realized that it was his parents who had sent Chen Nan to inquire about his love life.

"Sister, everyone is fighting the floods right now, how can I have time to worry about these things?"

After saying that, Chen Dong pushed Cheng Nan out, then made a few more phone calls to Longteng to explain the stock market matters, before finally waiting for Liu Huiming to arrive.

"Chen Dong!"

When the parents opened the door and saw Liu Huiming, they immediately gave him a warm welcome. However, Liu Huiming hurriedly put down the fruit he was carrying and rushed into the house, saying apologetically, "Uncle and Aunt, I'm in a hurry to talk to Chen Dong, so I won't exchange pleasantries with you."

He went straight into Chen Dong's room and saw that Chen Dong was sleeping on the table.

"Chen Dong!"

"Boss Chen!"

Liu Huiming woke Chen Dong up. Looking at the sleepy-eyed Chen Dong, he sighed, "I heard you were fighting the floods at Poyang Lake a few days ago. You must be exhausted."

"I've barely slept at all." Chen Dong rubbed his eyes, casually poured him a glass of water, and immediately got to the point, "How's the situation in Pengcheng?"

“It’s alright for now,” Liu Huiming said. “But I heard from the central government that a major flood will arrive within the next week, with the main disaster areas being Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, and the Fujian area.”

Liu Huiming looked at Chen Dong with a troubled expression.

The experts' predictions can only calculate the floods in the rainy belt. For other areas, the township governments can only activate their respective emergency response plans to regulate the floods and rainstorms. Liu Huiming has been assisting relevant departments in Pengcheng in procuring relief supplies and preparing a safe resettlement site.

"If the floods break out in the entire Yangtze River basin, wouldn't that mean the whole southern region will be affected?" Liu Huiming had been busy for a week, and his mind was a complete mess. "Our city of Pengcheng is a commercially developed city. Although it won't be flooded, the urban flooding is very serious."

"Chen Dong, did you send me here because you have a plan?"

Finally getting to the point, Chen Dong nodded, "In February, I had Longteng's people purchase a batch of supplies from all over the world, and I put some of them in a warehouse on the outskirts of Pengcheng."

"I think that now that Shenzhen is already experiencing urban flooding, that's when these supplies should come in handy."

Hearing this, Liu Huiming was somewhat incredulous. "The expert group only finalized the prediction model for the catastrophic flood in April. Did you know in February that a flood would break out?"

"This is the same question again," Chen Dong shook his head helplessly and explained to Liu Huiming, "Maybe it's because there was too much rainfall last year and in January this year, which made me feel insecure."

“Didn’t China also experience floods in 1992? That’s why I’m particularly sensitive to this. It just so happens that I recently re-established contact with investors in Southeast Asia.”

“We were able to source the cheapest equipment in Southeast Asia, so we established a sourcing point there.”

"In other places like North America and Europe, we already have offline experience stores there, so it's very convenient to procure supplies. We just used the usual procurement channels to ship the supplies back to China."

"You're amazing!" Liu Huiming couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"I'll be staying in Pengcheng for the next couple of days, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long." Chen Dong's mind was still preoccupied with Poyang Lake and other waters experiencing flood peaks.

He returned to Shenzhen for two reasons: first, to confirm the safety of his family, and second, to deal with a batch of disaster relief supplies stored in a warehouse in Shenzhen.

Early the next morning, Liu Huiming went to the warehouse at the locations Chen Dong had mentioned and transported all the disaster relief supplies to the local resettlement site.

Due to severe urban flooding in Shenzhen, some high-voltage electrical equipment was damaged, and in some places, sewers were washed away, creating several dangerous areas. For the safety of residents in these dangerous areas, they were transferred to resettlement sites.

Bored at home, Chen Dong went to the resettlement site to help out.

When Du Xingzhi and Yang Fugui arrived in Pengcheng, they went directly to Chen Dong's home. Later, guided by Chen Dong's parents, they went to the resettlement site to find Chen Dong.

The two of them were dragging a large and a small suitcase, and although they both had umbrellas, they were almost completely soaked.

While washing dishes in the kitchen of the resettlement site, Chen Dong looked up and saw two bigwigs from Hong Kong's financial world, looking like drowned rats.

"What brings you two here?" Chen Dong asked.

Yang Fugui rolled his eyes. "We and the people from Longteng couldn't contact you anywhere. They said you might have gone back to Pengcheng, so we found your home."

"Later, your parents said you were at the resettlement site, so we rushed over," Du Xingzhi added. "A big boss like you, actually washing dishes in the resettlement site's kitchen?"

Chen Dong smiled but didn't stop what he was doing. "Those who come to the resettlement point are mostly elderly people and children. Many of them have difficulty getting around, and some have just been rescued from the flood and need to rest, so I'm here to help out."
