Chapter 574: You Don't Need
Much Skill Director Zheng was filled with mixed feelings. No one knew how much pressure he had been under during this period.
He risked his future and gambled with Jiang Yu.
As it turned out, he won.
But this time, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of joy for winning the battle. Instead, he felt even heavier.
Because the real battle was after the earthquake.
How could he laugh when so many compatriots were displaced?
As Jiang Yu said, he would rather there was no earthquake and that he was wrong.
"Cheer up, wait for orders from your superiors, and be prepared to support the disaster area."
The entire city was razed to the ground. The situation was serious and there was no room for optimism.
Director Zheng issued a series of orders to recruit people to follow the transport team to the disaster area.
"This is an earthquake. There will definitely be aftershocks of varying sizes in the future. This mission is accompanied by great risks! I won't force you all to go. Think it over for yourself. If you are willing to go, please sign up with Section Chief He."
"There will be no punishment if you don't go, but the factory will not treat you badly if you are willing to go to the disaster area!"
During the last flood in southern Henan, the factory also rewarded employees who went to the disaster area based on their
merits. This time is no exception, and their efforts will not be in vain.
Jiang Yu raised her eyes, exchanged glances with He Tingyue across the air, and nodded slightly.
She knew that He Tingyue would definitely go.
As before, she would wait for him to come back at home and guard the rear for him.
Despite the danger, people who signed up were still very hesitant.
After a while, the staff was full, and He Tingyue had to count some of the staff to move supplies.
"The rest of the people, go to Section Chief Jiang to sign up and stay in North City to take over."
Jiang Yu cheered up and wrote down every name that was reported.
She had been staying in the factory, waiting for every instruction from above, busy like a top.
When she looked up, she suddenly realized that it was already dark.
Director Zheng could not hide his fatigue and knocked on the table.
"Eat something first, go home and have a sleep, I will let someone notify you if there is anything."
Jiang Yu's situation was special and she could not stay with them here.
She did not insist at this time, but nodded and agreed.
"Liu Zi still has some supplies we prepared. Let's confiscate them and have the factory's transport team deliver them together."
The factory's transport team is well-trained and can better deal with emergencies.
She felt relieved to hand it over to Director Zheng.
Director Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, I will remember to report it. These things are your donations."
Merits and demerits must be made clear so as not to let people feel disappointed.
Jiang Yu dragged her tired body home, and as soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Wu Yue and He Feiyan.
They squatted at the door in a daze, and they didn't know how long they waited before she came out.
"Fei Yan, Yue Yue!"
The two heard the voice and hurried to meet her.
"Sister-in-law!"
Jiang Yu said, "Your elder brother..."
"I know, he left with the transport team. He went back home before he left and told me to pick you up."
But even if he didn't mention it, she would have come.
Jiang Yu was startled, and a little warmth seeped into her heart, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Let's go home."
Only by keeping in good spirits can we continue to deal with the situation behind.
When we returned to the family compound, everyone rushed to greet us, and everyone rushed to ask questions.
Jiang Yu had a headache after hearing this, and explained helplessly: "The situation in the disaster area is unclear now, we don't know yet."
The only thing we know is that it is very serious, much more serious than they can imagine. Fortunately
, they were prepared in advance. The earthquake relief command formulated a disaster relief plan and issued orders as soon as possible, and all parties acted in an orderly manner.
At least so far, the disaster relief operation has been going smoothly.
Jiang Yu rubbed his temples, "Everyone should take care of their own families first. If you want to donate to the disaster area, you should organize it in the factory. Don't raise funds in your own name. If you don't cause trouble, it will be the best help to the disaster area and the factory."
Old Master Duan said, "Everyone go home, let Jiang Yu go home and rest!"
Jiang Yu just returned home, and Lin Donghua brought him a pot of warm chicken soup.
"My old man asked me to stew it. You must be tired today. It has been stewed for an afternoon, and the taste is just right."
Jiang Yu was moved and pulled the corners of his lips.
"Sister-in-law, how can you be so embarrassed?"
Lin Donghua said hurriedly: "You are working for the country and the people, what's wrong with eating a chicken? Not to mention one, you can eat more."
She didn't say much, knowing that Jiang Yu was tired, she put down the chicken soup and left. Just
as Lin Donghua left, Yuan Jiayin and Xu Lihua came again.
They were also delivering things and did not disturb Jiang Yu's rest.
In addition to the people from this compound, people from other compounds also came.
Before long, the things were almost piled up on the table.
Jiang Yu felt that she couldn't take other people's things for free, so she asked He Feiyan to divide the two large bags of flour sent by Xiong Laosan and pack some for each household.
After delivering it, of course, they had to refuse it again, but at least it was delivered, and everyone was happy. After
a busy day, Jiang Yu finally lay down on his own soft bed.
He was mentally exhausted, but he didn't feel sleepy.
The word "razed to the ground" kept circling in her mind. What kind of destructive force could turn a city into ruins?
As she was thinking, she fell asleep in a daze.
However, her sleep was not stable, and she would occasionally wake up from her sleep.
When she woke up the next day, her face was still not very good.
Xu Lihua took the initiative to go to the door, "Jiang Yu, go ask the factory when you can donate money. If you don't have money, even donating a quilt will be fine. It's better than nothing."
Jiang Yu nodded and agreed, "I'll go to the factory to ask later."
He Feiyan prepared breakfast and heated up the chicken soup from last night.
"Sister-in-law, eat something first, I'll take you to the factory."
Jiang Yu hung up the towel and said loudly, "No need to take me. You and Yueyue are on the account of Liuzi's supplies. You will help Liuzi deliver all the things to the factory later."
After that, she hurried out. When she
arrived at the factory, Director Zheng was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, so Jiang Yu knew that he didn't go home last night.
"Don't you need to take a break?"
Director Zheng was stunned, and explained with a smile: "I'm working in the office."
Jiang Yu talked to him about fundraising, and Director Zheng was thinking about this matter.
"You are in charge of this matter, and you will contact Director Liang of the Women's Federation directly."
This year, the Women's Federation just established a children and teenagers foundation, and she has experience in this kind of public welfare activities.
Jiang Yu turned to the Women's Federation to find Director Liang, and Director Liang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her.
"You came at the right time! I was looking for a leader, and you are the best fit."
The Women's Federation did not have enough staff, so Jiang Yu had to organize people and prepare for fundraising.
Jiang Yu did not have much of anything here, but she had the most staff.
Those who signed up for the transport team yesterday were waiting for her to assign tasks.
She selected some people who knew how to read and do arithmetic, and assigned people to different regions to collect donations.
"First, donations should be voluntary, and moral kidnapping is not allowed! Second, donations of any size are everyone's intentions, and they should not be trampled upon. Please treat them with an objective and peaceful attitude. Third, registration must be done properly. Even if it is just a kilogram of rice or two ounces of oil, it must be registered clearly to lay a solid foundation for fairness and transparency in the future."
Jiang Yu asked them to write these principles on the book, and each person recited them silently three times before letting them take action.
The fundraising task was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Jiang Yu suddenly had some free time.
Near noon, Li Nian came.
Her eyes were bloodshot, her eyes were dark blue from staying up late, and her face was very tired.
"This is a photo my colleague took at the risk of his life. He sent it back overnight and almost lost half his life."
Before the earthquake, the newspaper sent people to guard Phoenix.
Dangerous things always need people to do it. Li Nian volunteered to go, but was rejected by the newspaper and chose a more agile male reporter.
According to the male reporter's description: "That disaster was no exaggeration to say that
the sky collapsed and the earth split." In an instant, the mountains and rivers collapsed, and the buildings collapsed.
A prosperous and vibrant city became a ruin.
Li Nian pursed his lips and tears burst out.
"Jiang Yu, not everyone has evacuated. There are still many people buried under the ruins. What should they do?"
Jiang Yu looked at the photos on the table, black and white, revealing endless desolation.
How many people's homes are buried here.
She closed her eyes, but the depression in her chest could not be dissipated.
Their power seemed so small.
"I don't know, and I don't know what to do."
Li Nian sniffed, "Our newspaper has sent people to the disaster area to understand the situation. They will report the situation every two hours. I need your help."
Jiang Yu looked up at her with a heavy expression.
"What can I do for you?"
Li Nian said, "I need your words to present the real disaster area to everyone."
Follow up the situation in the disaster area, integrate materials, publish news, and call on people from all walks of life to donate their love.
Jiang Yu naturally would not refuse. Only by being busy can she avoid wild thoughts.
She followed Li Nian out of the National Cotton Factory and saw Granny Ma.
Granny Ma looked anxious and pulled Jiang Yu aside to talk.
"I have contacted your senior brother. He wants to donate materials to Phoenix City, but his identity... he needs a guarantor to allow his funds to enter the mainland."
Jiang Yu let her go and asked someone to take her to the factory director's office.
"Teacher, please go directly to Director Zheng. I will go to work at the North City Daily next. If you have any questions, please come to me directly."
Granny Ma said no more and walked quickly to the factory office building.
Jiang Yu turned around and ran into Jiao Zongyao head-on.
When their eyes met, sparks flew inevitably.
Jiao Zongyao's face was uglier than Jiang Yu's. He also couldn't sleep because of the earthquake.
He laughed, "Chief Jiang, you are very capable!"
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said coldly, "You don't need to be very capable, just a little better than Deputy Director Jiao."
Jiao Zongyao's face was tense, "Then let's see who can laugh last."
