The SARS outbreak that completely spread in 2003 can be considered one of the most significant anti-epidemic events in my country's history.
Although it does not have the same high transmissibility as COVID-19, it has still had a significant impact.
Born in Guangdong Province, Chu Yang was deeply impressed by the outbreak of the epidemic at that time.
Schools were closed, many shops shut down, and cleaning and disinfection were carried out everywhere. Everyone was on edge, frantically buying Banlangen (Isatis root) and white vinegar, and hoarding salt.
I still remember that after the pandemic, we still had salt in our house that we hadn't finished eating after three years...
Although the negative impact was enormous, it also brought about a turning point.
That is, people's consumption patterns have changed, shifting from physical stores to online shopping.
Little Ma also took advantage of this favorable wind and took off immediately.
Having been reborn, Chu Yang knows the ins and outs of everything. He is now pondering whether to find a way to prevent the event from happening or to reduce the losses caused by the epidemic.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head to himself.
Who would believe him?
How can we prevent it and reduce it?
SARS was initially taken lightly, with a general sense of optimism and few taking it seriously. It wasn't until the outbreak actually occurred that people became concerned.
Even if he speaks with absolute certainty, what can he change with just his voice?
They might even be seen as a crazy idiot.
It would be more practical to stock up on masks and disinfectants and donate them later.
Once you've made up your mind, you stop thinking about it.
There were no classes in the morning, and around noon, Li Qingshu sent a message asking if we could have lunch together.
Chu Yang rushed to the main campus and took her to the best dining area.
After ordering a few dishes, the two found a table and sat down.
"The student council is organizing an autumn outing in a few days. Are you free to go with us?" the young lady asked.
"Student council? You joined the student council?" Chu Yang asked.
“Yes, they said it’s easier to join the Party if I join the student council, so my dad wants me to join,” the young lady said.
Chu Yang nodded: "Li Min seems to be some kind of vice chairman. Should I talk to him and ask him to promote you to a cadre position?"
The young lady smiled and said, "No need. I just need to make it easier to join the Party. I also have to take care of the milk tea shop in my spare time, so I don't have time to do too many other things."
"I only have one question," Chu Yang suddenly said seriously.
"What?" The young lady's smile vanished, and she became serious.
Chu Yang asked seriously, "Are you booking an overnight stay for this trip?"
The young lady blinked, and after a few seconds realized what she meant. Blushing, she scolded, "You rascal! ...Hmph, no way!"
Chu Yang chuckled: "Even if they don't book it, I'll still go. Maybe I'll get it."
The young lady spat lightly: "You scoundrel, you're not proper."
Chu Yang reached out and flicked her nose: "I just love seeing you being teased by this frivolous rogue of mine."
"Oh no, someone saw us!" The young lady blushed and lowered her head.
Chu Yang couldn't help but love her shy and delicate appearance.
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. When are you going on the trip? Where are you going?" he asked.
"Next weekend, Wuzhishi Mountain in Pingyuan."
"So that's where it is. It looks fun, and you can even soak in hot springs."
Have you been there?
"Yes, I've been there once. I'll be your guide then."
Chu Yang had been there, but not in this lifetime; according to the current timeline, it would be several years from now.
The young lady was very excited when she saw that Chu Yang was going to go with her. She had already begun to imagine the two of them holding hands, traveling together, and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
The food was served, and the two chatted as they ate.
After lunch, the young lady went to the milk tea shop.
Chu Yang packed five meals and took them to the courier station at Building 7.
As soon as I entered, I saw several people mailing packages.
Ji Mo was responsible for receiving and registering packages, Cao Bin was responsible for printing and entering order slips, and Jiang Chao was responsible for moving goods into the warehouse.
At this time, there were already several hundred packages in the shipping area, all of which were received today.
They also hired two deliverymen here to pick up and deliver packages, but they're not here right now; they're probably out working.
Chu Yang put the lunchbox on the table and walked to Ji Mo's side.
"You guys go eat first, I'll cover for you here."
"Boss, you're here!" Ji Mo said with a smile, but didn't go to eat.
Cao Bin and Jiang Chao didn't go to eat either.
"No rush, these few packages will be delivered quickly!"
"Yeah, how can we let the boss do this kind of work?"
"Alright, then you guys finish up." Chu Yang walked to the side and waited, watching them work in an orderly manner.
A few minutes later, the packages were collected, and Ji Mo and the others washed their hands and sat down at the table.
Chu Yang opened the lunchbox and arranged the food.
"Eat quickly, no matter how busy you are, you must eat your fill."
"It has to be the boss, he brought all the good food!" Jiang Chao poked at the food with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork trotter.
“These are all our favorite foods.” Ji Mo picked up a chicken leg.
“There’s also chicken soup, I love it.” Cao Bin showed off a sip of soup first.
Working as a courier is hard work. After a busy morning, the three of them were starving and devoured all the food Chu Yang had brought.
After finishing his meal, Chu Yang tidied up the empty lunchbox, took it outside to throw it in the trash can, and then came back and lit a cigarette.
"Judging from the situation, we need to hire more people." Chu Yang said, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Ji Mo held out a lighter to light it for him, and then said, "Yes, we still have classes, and with so many things to handle every day, we're already a bit overwhelmed."
“Okay, I’ll arrange for recruitment this afternoon,” Cao Bin said.
At that moment, several people came in from outside.
"Another job is coming in." Ji Mo stubbed out his cigarette and was about to go over to greet him.
"Wait a minute, Ji Lao Er," Chu Yang called out to him.
“They’re not here for work, they’re here for trouble. These people don’t seem like they’re here to send a package.” Cao Bin narrowed his eyes.
But the men weren't carrying any packages or items; instead, some were carrying steel pipes and wooden sticks. They swaggered in and casually kicked things off the ground.
They've come with ill intentions!
"Wow, business is good, so many items!" one of them said sarcastically.
"With Zhou Xianglun helping to advertise, how could business not be good?"
"Looks like you've made a lot of money!"
The young man at the front, sporting a hairstyle reminiscent of Chan Ho-nam, slammed the steel pipe in his hand onto the desk.
With a loud bang, he looked at Chu Yang and the others, and shouted, "Who the hell is the owner here?!"
