South District People's Hospital.
It was nearly eleven o'clock when Lin Rui got out of the taxi.
It was the Spring Festival, and there weren't many doctors and nurses on duty. Plus, it was already late at night, so the whole hospital looked rather deserted.
Lin Rui was still wearing a mask and it took him a while to find the inpatient department. Compared to the entrance, the inpatient department was much quieter.
"Excuse me, which ward is Qu Yingying in?"
Lin Rui asked the nurse on duty.
The nurse glanced at Lin Rui, then typed a few words on the keyboard before her expression turned strange: "In the past three months, there has only been one patient, Qu Yingying, who is 21 years old and has severe burns."
After a pause, the nurse looked up at Lin Rui uncertainly: "Is it her?"
“Yes, it’s her.” Lin Rui nodded.
For some reason, the nurse felt that Lin Rui, who was wearing a mask, looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.
Of course, she didn't dwell on the issue: "Last week, Qu Yingying's family completed the discharge procedures for her."
"Discharged from the hospital?"
Lin Rui was taken aback at first, but suddenly, he seemed to realize something.
Looking at the nurse again, Lin Rui noticed a hint of regret in her eyes. He sighed, knowing that his feelings were genuine.
My condolences.
"Thanks."
Lin Rui nodded to the nurse, then turned and left.
Upon re-entering the elevator, Lin Rui selected the floor for the intensive care unit.
Compared to the inpatient ward corridor, this place wasn't so deserted. There were two more nurses on duty, and a few family members were sitting on chairs in the corridor playing with their phones.
"Excuse me, are you a family member of which patient? Please register."
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a nurse stood up, holding a registration book in her hand.
Lin Rui gave the name of a firefighter and casually wrote down his own name as well.
The nurse didn't look closely, but simply told Lin Rui not to make a loud noise.
Standing outside the glass window of the intensive care unit, Lin Rui looked at the injured person still lying inside and quietly saluted.
“Auntie, you’re not feeling well, why don’t you go home and rest? We can stay here and watch over you.”
"Yes, Auntie, leave this to us."
The sound of conversation could be heard from not far away.
Two men, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, were seen helping an older woman tidy up her lunchbox, as well as some trash such as tissues and fruit peels.
Thank you all for these past few days.
"I'll keep watch tonight. You've all been up for days. Spend more time with your families during the New Year."
“Auntie is different. Qiangzi’s father passed away early. Even if he goes home, he’ll be alone. It’s better for him to stay here.”
The woman forced a smile, but it was tinged with bitterness.
Just as the two men were about to offer some advice, their expressions suddenly changed drastically.
The woman seemed to realize something and quickly turned around. Her tense expression eased slightly after seeing the movement inside, but she still cried out urgently, "Doctor! Doctor!"
In fact, she didn't need to call out; two doctors in white coats rushed over from the next office, followed by two nurses.
They quickly entered the intensive care unit and immediately drew the curtains.
"Quickly notify Xiao Zhu's family."
The woman urged them on, and the two men finally snapped out of their daze and quickly ran to the side to call Xiao Zhu's family.
About ten minutes later, two more doctors came out of the elevator, followed by three nurses, and they also hurriedly entered the intensive care unit.
In less than a minute, Lin Rui saw the firefighter named Xiao Zhu being wheeled into the emergency room by a group of doctors and nurses.
The rescue lasted for a full half hour. As the door to the emergency room was pushed open, Xiao Zhu's family members happened to appear in the corridor.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?"
A woman looked anxiously at the doctor; in fact, everyone present was anxious to know how Xiao Zhu was doing.
"Sorry, we tried our best."
"No! No! Doctor, my son is alright, I beg you, I'll kneel down and beg you..."
The woman was devastated by the news and could not accept the outcome. She was extremely agitated and tried to kneel down before the doctor, but was immediately helped up by him.
"We are so sorry, we really did our best. Please accept our condolences."
Despite being accustomed to life and death, the doctors and nurses present were all in low spirits.
"No...no...my son isn't dead...he's still alive..."
The woman was completely devastated, as were her family members who were with her; none of them could accept this reality.
When the woman saw Xiao Zhu, covered with a white sheet, being pushed out, she burst into tears.
The atmosphere at the scene became heavy. As Xiao Zhu's body was being taken away, his family members gathered together and wept. Xiao Qiang's mother was also in low spirits.
The rabbit mourns the fox's death. Although it wasn't Xiaoqiang who died today, who can guarantee that this scene won't happen to her in the future?
Lin Rui glanced in the direction of the intensive care unit, then looked at the people who were grieving, his heart heavy.
He left quietly, and no one noticed.
Lin Rui suddenly realized that not only the heroes fighting the disaster, but also ordinary people injured in the disaster and their families, needed care.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Rui walked out of the South District Hospital and sent a message in the company's senior management group.
"I'm sorry, the Spring Festival holiday may have to end earlier than planned."
Zhou Rongze: ? ? ?
Chen Tianye: ? ? ?
Zheng Jing: ? ? ?
Zhang Qingsheng: ? ? ?
Luo Qi: ...

The following evening, Zhang Qingsheng led his filming team out of the airport.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Bin immediately took a private jet to Lin Rui's hometown.
Furthermore, he also transferred thirty security personnel from the Li Group to accompany him.
Secretary Liu, who was originally at home with his wife and children, also ended his vacation immediately and rushed to Lin Rui's hometown because of a phone call from Xu Hongzhuo.
After all, some communication with local authorities requires the involvement of officials, and Secretary Liu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
That day, everyone rested for the night under Chen Bin's arrangement, and took the opportunity to discuss the filming plan and purchase gifts.
It wasn't until early the next morning that cars began to park at the South District People's Hospital.
Looking at the people in front of him, Lin Rui said apologetically, "I'm really sorry to have disturbed your New Year celebrations."
"It is our duty to contribute to society."
Zhang Qingsheng gave a shout, and the filming crew behind him did the same.
If it were just working overtime, people might complain.
But this time it's for charity, to promote positive social values, which is a good thing!
Being able to participate in this will make me very proud, not to mention that I'm in charge of filming "Floating Life," which is even more meaningful.
"Thank you everyone for your support. I might be a little tired today."
The group glanced at the prepared schedule, which included not only the injured who were still receiving treatment, but also the families of the victims.
"You few carry the prepared gifts off the car, and the rest of you go and help."
Chen Bin gave an instruction to the security personnel beside him.
Zhang Qingsheng had brought quite a few people with him, and upon hearing this, he instructed several strong and healthy subordinates behind him: "You all go and help too."
Since Secretary Liu had already communicated with the senior management of the South District People's Hospital, many people, including the hospital director, were standing outside the hospital gate at this moment.
After the gifts were prepared, Lin Rui exchanged a few pleasantries with Dean Sun Mao before saying, "Dean Sun, let's begin."
After saying that, Lin Rui slowly took off his mask.
Zhang Qingsheng, who was prepared in advance, waved his hand and said, "Attention all groups, get ready to film."
