Chapter 528 SARS is coming
Although the people who came to the interview didn't understand why the Deng Group would make such a bold move in arranging accommodation, they all excitedly agreed to the invitation from the shareholders of the Deng Group.
After all, being able to live in such a stylish and beautiful villa and having the opportunity to interact with the group's shareholders privately is a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern under normal circumstances, and no one would be stupid enough to refuse it.
Soon someone discovered that the group shareholders who invited them to live in the villa were all young people, and it was always the men who invited the women, and the women who invited the men, but there was not a single invitation for same-sex people.
This discovery made some quick-witted people feel something was wrong, but instead of being afraid, they became even more excited.
Seeing that everyone accepted the invitation, the interviewer stood up and announced the time and place of tomorrow's training, and then announced the official end of the interview. He asked everyone to take their luggage and go to the villa with the inviter to settle down and familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.
Deng Sishun said positively, "Miss Song, go back to the hotel and pack your luggage. I'll go back and drive the motorcycle over to pick you up."
Song Tingting hesitated and said, "This is too troublesome."
Deng Sishun smiled and said, "No trouble, I'm leaving now. See you later."
Song Tingting looked at Deng Sishun walking towards the villa, and with mixed feelings she walked towards the hotel where she stayed last night.
Although she has never been in a relationship, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, unless they are naturally slow to react in terms of feelings, normal people can actually tell whether the opposite sex who actively approaches them has any intention towards them.
Of course, ordinary people can only distinguish the most basic things. If they want to further distinguish whether the other person's feelings are true or false, it cannot be done in a short time. This requires long-term contact to distinguish.
In fact, some people can never tell the truth from falsehood, just like some men and women in later generations who were deceived and lost their entire fortunes, but still believed that the other party was sincere to them.
When Song Tingting and Deng Sishun came back from Nanning by car yesterday, she was not sure whether he had any intentions towards her in that way. But when she saw him come to her immediately and invite her to live in his house, and the enthusiasm he just showed, she knew what was going on.
…
Because the luggage only contained a few sets of clothes and some toiletries, Song Tingting packed it quickly and waited downstairs at the hotel for Deng Sishun to arrive.
Not only Song Tingting, other interviewees also did the same thing. They all returned to the hotel to pack their luggage as soon as possible, and then went downstairs to wait for the Ye Deng clan members to come and pick them up on motorcycles.
Soon, motorcycles came from all directions.
Deng Sishun was the one who rushed over the fastest. He stopped the car in front of Song Tingting and said with a smile, "Miss Song, get in the car!"
Song Tingting didn't hesitate and got into the car with her luggage bag.
Then, Deng Shishun released the clutch with his left hand, slightly stepped on the accelerator with his right hand, and the motorcycle drove steadily towards the villa complex.
Along the way, Deng Sishun kept greeting other tribesmen he met, and returned to his villa in less than two minutes.
After parking the car at the entrance of the villa, Deng Sishun introduced with a smile: "Miss Song, this is my home!"
Song Tingting looked at the beautiful villa scenery in front of her and exclaimed: "What beautiful villas! Moreover, the scale of this villa complex is so large that you can't see the end at a glance. This is really the most beautiful building complex I have ever seen since I was a child."
"There are hundreds of villas here. You can enjoy them slowly when you have time. I will arrange a room for you first. Come with me."
"Thank you. I really trouble you."
"You're welcome."
…
For the next month, matchmakers from all over the town were extremely busy.
These matchmakers mainly act as matchmakers for the leftover women of the Naye Deng family. Although they take the initiative to invite their favorite objects to live in their homes, they are women after all. No matter how much they like the other person, they will never take the initiative to pursue him.
And this is where the matchmaker comes in handy.
As for the leftover men in the Ye Deng family, they don't need a matchmaker. They all want to try it themselves first, and then ask a matchmaker to come in if it doesn't work.
Putting aside those amateur matchmakers, anyone who can become a professional matchmaker must be a person who is good at speaking. What's more, the family conditions of leftover women like Naye Deng are indeed better than each other. After the matchmaker's praises, there are very few men who can remain unmoved.
After all, as long as you agree to this marriage, you can work less for decades. How many people can refuse such a good thing?
Especially for men who have suffered from the beatings of society, it is even more difficult to refuse.
As a result, in just one month, 42 out of the 45 men who participated in the training were seduced by the leftover women from Naye Deng's family.
As for the remaining three men, it’s not that they look down on the leftover women of the Ye Deng family, but that the leftover women of the Ye Deng family don’t look down on them.
The reason they were chosen in the first place was that they gave a very good first impression, but after more than half a month of living together day and night and getting to know each other better, these three men were eventually kicked out.
The leftover women of the Naye Deng family are making rapid progress, and although the leftover men don't have the help of matchmakers, their progress is not much behind the leftover women.
A total of 55 girls participated in the training, and 40 of them were won over by the leftover men of Naye Deng within this one month. Among the remaining 15 girls, 8 are about to establish relationships with the leftover men.
Even without the help of a matchmaker, they can achieve such a record. It has to be said that having good economic conditions really adds a lot to marriage.
Of the remaining 7 girls, 5 were disliked and 2 were uncertain.
Song Tingting has just confirmed her relationship with Deng Sishun.
Deng Sishun said in high spirits: "Tingting, since you are already my girlfriend, you can withdraw from the group's training."
Song Tingting was surprised and asked, "Quit the group training? What about my job then?"
Deng Sishun smiled and said, "Tingting, if you follow me, you won't have to worry about your job. I will go to your house and ask your parents for your hand in marriage. When you marry me, you can help run our business. You don't have to work in the group for less than 2,000 yuan a month."
Song Tingting was a little nervous when she heard this and said, "Brother Shun, my family is very poor. My parents are hard laborers. In order to support my brother and me to study, my family has spent all their money over the years. As a result, three months ago, my mother broke her leg accidentally. In order to treat her leg, we owed a lot of foreign debts.
Now, my family is extremely poor, will you despise me?"
Deng Sishun couldn't help but smile and said, "Tingting, how could I dislike you? When you marry me, your parents will be my parents, and your brother will be my brother. Don't worry, I will definitely not let them suffer anymore in the future."
Song Tingting was so excited when she heard that that she threw herself into Deng Sishun's arms.
Faced with the active beauty, Deng Sishun was naturally unceremonious. He hugged the other's soft waist and lowered his head to kiss her...
…
The one and a half month training was over in the blink of an eye.
Among the 100 people who participated in the training, 91 of them eventually established romantic relationships with the leftover men and women of Naye Deng’s group. Some of them who were impatient are already going through the procedures to get married.
Among the remaining 9 people, 8 of them were disliked, but they did not lose out either. They entered the Deng Group as they wished and received higher salaries than their peers, which means they achieved their original goal.
There was only one girl who, for some unknown reason, rejected the pursuit of Deng’s shareholder.
Marriage is based on mutual consent and is a two-way choice. Since the other party is unwilling, the Deng family will naturally not force it.
This girl also got a job at Deng's Group as she wished, but she will never get the chance again. I wonder if she will regret rejecting the shareholders of Deng's Group many years later? ...
afternoon.
Deng Yungui, Deng Yunqiang, Deng Yunfeng and others gathered at Uncle Jiu's house to drink.
Deng Yungui praised him endlessly and said, "Uncle Jiu, your idea is really great. The group's recruitment has directly solved the worries of most families in the clan. Take my granddaughter for example. If it weren't for the group's recruitment, who knows when I would see her get married!"
Deng Yunfeng also echoed, "Yes, it's the same with my grandson. We started urging him to find a partner and get married two or three years ago, but no matter how much we urged him, it was useless because none of the girls he met satisfied him.
Now, he has fallen in love with a girl who came for an interview. The marriage that we have been worrying about for two or three years has been solved so simply. Uncle Jiu’s method is really amazing. "
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It's good that it works. We can do this every year in the future. Anyway, these talents are what our group needs, and it can also solve the single problem for those older young people in the clan. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As long as we persist in this for a long time, I believe there will be no more single men and women over 25 who are not married in the tribe. "
Deng Yunqiang couldn't help but sigh: "If this continues for a long time, these highly educated talents will continue to become members of our Naye Deng family, which will be of great benefit to the development of our Naye Deng family."
Deng Yungui nodded and said, "This is to attract talents from all over the country. It is indeed much better than selecting those with low academic qualifications from all over the country."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "That's for sure. There are only a few college students in our area. How can they compare with the talents selected from all over the country? Now that our Deng family is rich, the marriage standards must be raised. We can no longer hold on to the old perspective when selecting partners for the younger generations.
If nothing else, at least we have to set a standard: the education level of the person you marry cannot be lower than high school, and it would be best if he or she has a college degree."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Deng Yungui said: "I agree with this. For people of our generation, most families don't have the conditions to choose a partner. As long as they can marry a wife to continue the family line, it doesn't matter what the wife looks like or whether she is a widow.
But now the conditions in our clan are among the best in the country, so of course we have to choose carefully for our younger generations."
Next, several people drank and discussed the marriage matters of the younger generations in the clan.
The drinking session lasted until around seven or eight in the evening before everyone left.
…
On November 16, 2002, a middle-aged man living in Bitang Township, Zhangcha Town, Chancheng District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, developed symptoms such as fever, headache, dry cough, and fatigue without obvious cause.
At first he thought he had a cold and took some cold medicine, but it had no effect. His temperature rose to 39 degrees and persisted.
A few days later, he was rushed to Foshan Shiwan Hospital by his family.
The hospital treated him as a suspected patient of typhoid fever and scrub typhus caused by a digestive tract infection, and gave him some common cold medicines and antibiotics.
Three or four days later, the patient's pneumonia symptoms worsened, with obvious rales and shortness of breath, and a chest X-ray revealed an enlarged shadow.
On the 25th, he was urgently transferred to Foshan First People's Hospital.
At this time, except for Deng Shirong who was reborn, no one in the world knew that this middle-aged man was the first case of SARS.
Deng Shirong knew the trajectory of the SARS outbreak, but unfortunately he was not a leader in charge of public health, nor was he an infectious disease expert. Even if he knew about this in advance, he could not prevent the arrival and spread of SARS.
As the saying goes, one should not meddle in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction. Deng Shirong has no right to interfere in such matters without a suitable reason.
Of course, he couldn't interfere with matters at the national level, but he could still interfere with his relatives, friends, and the Naye Deng clan members.
Therefore, on the afternoon of November 25, 2002, Deng Shirong convened an emergency clan meeting directly at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Because the tribesmen lived relatively close to each other, they gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall in less than ten minutes.
When everyone was present, Deng Shirong held a loud speaker and said, "Dear tribe members, today we are holding an emergency meeting because we have something extremely urgent to inform you of. This concerns everyone's life and safety, so everyone must follow the orders I will issue and do not be careless."
When this opening remark came out, the tribesmen couldn't help but be shocked.
Deng Shirong continued, "According to the information I received, an extremely serious infectious disease appeared in Foshan, Guangdong nine days ago. This infectious disease can be transmitted through the air, which means that if this infectious person talks to you face to face, or stays in the same place, such as eating together in a restaurant or riding in the same car, then there is a high possibility of contracting the disease.
Moreover, this disease is very terrible. Once you are infected, even if you don’t die, you will be left with serious sequelae. Only people with very good luck can be completely cured.”
Deng Yungui was shocked and said, "Uncle Jiu, there is such a terrible infectious disease in the world?"
As a leader, Deng Changyong had more knowledge than most of the tribesmen. His face changed drastically when he heard this, and he blurted out, "Jiu Gong, is this a plague?"
Deng Yunheng, as a member of the clan, was also at the scene. As a doctor, he understood the horror of the plague even more. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Dad, do you know what kind of plague has broken out?"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "I don't know what the infectious disease is this time. I only know that it is contagious and once infected, life is in danger. I plan to call back all the members of our clan who are running passenger transport in Guangdong, and temporarily cut off the passenger transport between Guangdong and Bobai.
As for the film and television city, it has also stopped receiving film and television crews from Guangdong.
If you have relatives or friends in Guangdong, you can call them to remind them, or directly invite them to live with us for a while and then go back after the epidemic is over. ”
Deng Yunheng said: "I'll call my former colleagues to find out what kind of infectious disease this is."
Deng Shirong said: "The epidemic has just begun and has not yet attracted the attention of the higher-ups. Your colleagues in Guangzhou may not know about it. It will probably take some time until more people are infected before it really attracts the attention of the higher-ups.
You can call to warn your colleagues and ask them to take preventive measures to avoid being infected by patients without knowing it."
In his previous life, Brother Dian suddenly broke out, and the first to bear the brunt were the unprepared medical staff.
If we were mentally prepared, the consequences would not be so serious.
Deng Yunheng said with some concern: "If it is really a plague, it would be relatively easy to control if we take various preventive measures in the early stages of the outbreak. Once more people are infected, it will spread from one to ten, and then from ten to a hundred. The speed of infection will increase faster and faster, and it will be a hundred times more difficult to control it."
Deng Shirong said: "This is something that the leaders above have to consider. We just need to do our own thing. It is better not to get involved in things that are not our business."
If his eldest son-in-law, second son, third son or third daughter-in-law were leaders in places where SARS broke out, such as Foshan and Guangzhou, he might have reminded them to take various effective preventive measures in advance, but since none of them were working in Guangdong, Deng Shirong had no intention of meddling in their affairs.
Having lived two lives, he understands one thing: some things may be thankless.
In this life, his goal is to manage his relatives, friends, clansmen, and employees of the Deng Group and his children's businesses. That is enough.
Fortunately, the infectiousness of SARS is far from comparable to the new coronavirus. As long as we develop the habit of wearing masks and disinfection, our safety can still be guaranteed.
Deng Yunheng said: "Then I will call my father-in-law and mother-in-law to remind them to pay attention to the epidemic."
Deng Shirong said: "You can directly invite them to live with us for a period of time. If the epidemic in Guangdong has not broken out, that would be the best. If it breaks out out of control, it would also be good to let them come to our place to take shelter."
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call and invite them right away."
Deng Shirong looked at his clansmen and said, "If you have relatives or friends in Guangdong, please call them immediately to inform them. If they are willing to seek refuge here, please hurry up and come here. If it is too late, please do not come here, because I will block the traffic from Guangdong to here in three days.
If they don’t want to come, tell them to go to the pharmacy to buy enough masks and disinfectants. They should wear masks when they go out and disinfect when they come back. This can effectively prevent infection.”

PS: I feel like writing this plot about finding a partner will break many people's defenses? Are you offended? This is a two-way choice. It doesn't mean that you must marry the one that Deng chooses. You choose me and I choose you. Is it necessary to be so sensitive? (End of this chapter)
