Natural Disaster Strikes: From Joining the Rescue Team

Chapter 980, There Seems to Be a Bustling Pit Here

This proposal was once again passed by all members, and everyone was in a good mood when they ate again, including Ye Lin.

The feeling of being touched could not be relieved immediately, and Ye Lin did not hesitate to express her gratitude: "Coach, thank you for doing so much for me."

Yue Feng raised his plate neatly: "Welcome back, Steak, and thank you for doing so much for me."

"No."

In the corner of Ye Lin's eye, there were more than a dozen steaks neatly arranged on the plate, and she protected her plate.

Yue Feng didn't look at the pile of steaks next to him, and smiled wickedly: "I cut them piece by piece, it was not easy."

Ye Lin glanced around the long table without looking at the other steaks: "I grabbed these piece by piece. It was even harder for me."

Suddenly he noticed it and picked up a pickle and gave it to Yue Feng: "I'm having steak, this will help you to relieve the greasiness."

Yue Feng shrugged, forked himself another piece of steak from the plate, and then took the pickled cucumber: "That makes sense. Thank you for helping me relieve my greasiness."

The two smiled at each other, then settled down to eat their meal.

Johnny was so excited that the dinner table became his home for talking. Adam and Shan suggested turning on the projector to block him out and go see what was going on at the two reception supply points.

Shan's life manager: "Master, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Lin, the person in charge of the survivors at supply point No. 1, worked until midnight and is still sleeping. Captain Gu Sheng, the person in charge of the rescue vehicle at supply point No. 3, drank too much and is still sleeping. I suggest you check on the situation at Commander Fang Yi first, he may need your help."

Shan was embarrassed: "Spying the screen? That's so embarrassing."

Adam: "Come on, they should know they have no privacy when using our electronic products. Besides, we are helping them."

Shan: "Butler, please turn on the projection view of our focus on Chief Fang Yi. Mr. Adam will bear all the responsibility for this matter."

Adam: "Anyone else want some hometown specialties for lunch? I'm in a mood that's been up and down for a while, I don't know what's going on."

Shan: "Faced with such a naked threat, butler, what should I do?"

Shan's life butler: "I will open the projection perspective of Chief Fang Yi for the respected girls and gentlemen. This is the responsibility of this butler."

Ye Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The noise filled the communicator. This happened because more than half of the communicators Fang Yi sent out had people expressing their objections. However, what Fang Yi heard most clearly was Zeng Changjin's tearful voice.

One moment he shouted at Lao Fang, "You must not continue to be stubborn." The next moment he yelled at Lao Liu, "You have been brainwashed by the Everlasting Life Investment Company just like Lao Fang. You two will become historical sinners."

"We handed over the people we rescued with great effort to the Life Continuous Investment Company. They were dug out from the cold ice and snow step by step. Who knows the hardships our rescue team members have gone through to contribute to the country? It is our due responsibility to contribute to the country. Why should the achievements we have made be enjoyed by an overseas company?"

Fang Yi and Liu Wangjun listened calmly, then switched the projection to see the various reactions in different environments. Zeng Changjin was talking with his mouth full of foam, his body language messing up his facial expressions, like a dancing dinosaur. Liu Wangjun cleared his throat and asked Fang Yi, "Which rescue team member is this? Why don't I remember him participating in the rescue mission?"

Fang Yi: "I led you to be brainwashed, Mr. Liu, and you forgot that this person was not a member of the rescue team, but a rescued survivor who hid in an underground air-raid shelter and turned on the jammer to resist the search."

Liu Wangjun looked puzzled: "Why turn on the jammer? Why resist the search?"

Fang Yi: "I led you, Mr. Liu, to be brainwashed. I have to explain it slowly. This man brought his young and beautiful aunts and uncles, and the materials belonging to the country and the people in the city into the hidden air-raid shelter. He closed the door and turned on the jammer. From then on, he lived in the cave for a thousand years and was extremely free."

Zeng Changjin stopped shouting and argued with a red face: "I was saving the assets of the country and the people. I don't know who is outside. We lost our fighting power due to the heavy snowstorm, so we dare not be easily searched out. If we lose the assets of the country and the people, then I will be the same as the labor exchange plan you proposed. Wouldn't I become a national sinner?"

He didn't say a word about his beautiful aunts.

Liu Wangjun was too lazy to expose his shame in public: "You still know it's a job exchange plan, job exchange, why are you so irritable?"

Zeng Changjin: "Mr. Liu, please don't be so brainwashed. This kind of behavior is not good. It is a loss of leadership style, national integrity, and national dignity. We are all people with dignity."

Liu Wangjun lost his temper and got angry: "I don't recognize many kinds of dignity. One is to ensure the integrity of the country no matter how difficult the situation is, one is to protect the lives of the people no matter how they are stabbed in the back, and another is not to give up sovereignty no matter how favorable the environment is!"

The noise in the communicator disappeared and there was silence.

"Zeng Changjin! Let's take advantage of this meeting today to have a heart-to-heart talk. What does it mean to be heart-to-heart? My understanding is that you should not hide anything and say whatever is on your mind. You can say whatever you want, whether it's nice or ugly, accusatory or insulting."

Liu Wangjun's eyes widened: "Do you dare, old man?"

Zeng Changjin took a step back. This step was not taken well. Perhaps one of his legs did not have enough strength, so he leaned to the side. Then he adjusted his posture while his expression changed again and again. Finally, he froze in embarrassment and said weakly, "Liu, Mr. Liu, please talk if you have something to say. Don't lose your temper."

Liu Wangjun stared at him. Zeng Changjin subconsciously took a step back. He felt uncomfortable and his whole body was prickly. He opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back with frustration.

Zeng Changjin lowered his head and admitted his weakness: "Okay, okay, go ahead and talk."

When Liu Wangjun saw his appearance, he first smiled faintly, and then continued his previous temper without any hesitation, criticizing him again.

"Today is a comprehensive meeting for the whole team of the retreat team convened by Lao Fang. This time we will not discuss the distribution of supplies, the transfer of team members, etc. We will only discuss our mood. Speaking of mood, which has not been smooth for us after the snowstorm, I didn't understand what Lao Fang said about the retreat at first. I couldn't even accept that he didn't restrain Gu Sheng's six rescue vehicles from leaving. I argued with him and said, "Have you forgotten what our country needs! It's rescue, and all kinds of rescue tools! Since there is such a good and spacious vehicle in front of you, which is as big as six city districts, you actually let it go without saying anything. We can seize it first and drive it to rescue people across the country before talking about other things."

Fang Yi interjected and cooperated with the staff to open the rescue vehicle. This was a video that was left over from a previous conversation with Gu Sheng.

The table was filled with rich food and wine, and there was no shortage of fruits. The people sitting in the public living room called the rescue vehicle had rosy skin and neat clothes. The silvery-white environment made the rescue vehicle and the retreating team look like two different worlds on the same planet.

Zeng Changjin stared with his eyes wide open.

Liu Wangjun laughed and teased him, "With your temper, Lao Zeng, haven't you bothered someone with a communicator to show it to us? This is the real footage of the global celebration on the day of the Snowstorm Era."

He seemed to be in high spirits and said to Fang Yi: "A few more to cheer everyone up."

In the projection that everyone can see online, the people at Supply Point No. 1 are eating breakfast in the snow, and everyone is served a steaming hot breakfast.

In the corner of the square, a dozen boys built a half-person-high palace of building blocks. A little girl who had just learned to walk bumped into it, and a piece of the palace collapsed with a crash, and the ruins appeared immediately. The little girl was frightened and burst into tears.

The younger boys also burst into tears as they saw their hard work go to waste.

The adults all came to coax them with smiles, some picked up the boy and some picked up the girl, until they built the house again with tears in their eyes.

The little girl sobbed and picked up the big building block and handed it over.

The little boy pouted, but still took it.

Liu Wangjun said with emotion, "It's great that the children still have things to play with. Before our great retreat team set out, we left the elderly, children, weak women and patients of a certain age at the meeting point. Knowing that they couldn't walk, they still insisted on shouting slogans, saying that everyone should walk together and we will not give up on you. Isn't this nonsense? This is killing people without a knife, and sending lives to the wind and snow."

Zeng Changjin stared blankly at the rescue vehicle, supply point 1, and supply point 3. His momentum weakened further. Feeling uneasy, he cleverly replied, "I don't know that either. No one of you can tell me."

Liu Wangjun ignored him and continued, "When the Imperial Capital Base was still under construction, Lao Fang and I had endless arguments over the rescue vehicle. Then the Queen arrived, and Yue Feng, a middle-level manager personally recognized by the board of directors of the Lifeless Investment Company, introduced it to me. It was a real eye-opener for me, Lao Liu."

He looked at Zeng Changjin with contempt: "It was then that I realized that facing the snowstorm does not mean that each country in the world can fight alone. The technology of Lifelong Investment Company allows this planet to be a large collective team."

Zeng Changjin found an opportunity and quickly asked, "Can you trust their technology?"

Liu Wangjun: "Whether you can rest assured or not is not within the dignity that the three of us recognize. Instead, Yue Feng, on behalf of his company, recognized the integrity of our country, including the integrity of our population and nationality. Lao Fang and I have never compromised our national sovereignty in the series of help proposed by Yue Feng. There is another dignity in my heart, which is to protect the lives of the people in any backstabbing. Those who stay at the rendezvous point and wait for the new base in their country to be occupied before they can take the plane to go there, we cannot instigate them to go into the wind and snow and die. The people who enter the supply point of the Lifeless Investment Company see that the environment is good, they are tired, they want to rest, they want to stay there to work, they are not lazy, so is this not allowed? Do we have to tie and drag others, and force them to walk in the wind and snow with a lot of slogans? Those who don't want to leave cannot be forced."

Zeng Changjin moved, perhaps wanting to say something.

Fang Yi became impatient and said loudly: "Besides, this is a labor exchange plan. Did I not make it clear just now or did someone among you not pay attention? Labor exchange means exchange, not a population delivery plan. We don't want to leave anyone behind, but we also have to take into account subjective initiative, which is the most decisive factor in action. He saw that other people's supply points were good, and he didn't want to leave. We were anxious to get to the new base to invest in construction. We can't waste time here for the temporary retreat of some people. In fact, think about it again. Our entire retreat team, including Mr. Liu, is very tired, and the people who lead the team and serve are even more tired every day. Now there is a supply point that allows us to hand over some burdened people, and we are relieved. The people can also keep a good body at the supply point. When our new base is built as good as the supply point, when we come to pick them up again, they will definitely make a new choice."

He looked at Liu Wangjun and said, "Mr. Liu, you just omitted a word. The people who stayed at the rendezvous point in China have already been agreed to be picked up by the Queen when she leaves. Chen Xiang also contacted me in the second half of the day when the Queen made this suggestion, saying that he was ready to receive them. He would take good care of these people and then return them to us."

Liu Wangjun smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten. You waited for me to tell you step by step. Now that you have spoken, I will just say what I haven't finished."

Fang Yi: "Please tell me."

Liu Wangjun's pair of eyes, which seemed old but were actually extremely sharp, were cast at Zeng Changjin again. Zeng Changjin became more and more discouraged in their repeated words. When he met Liu Wangjun's eyes again, he subconsciously shrank back, and the corners of his mouth trembled a few times, with a hint of a smile: "Mr. Liu, if you have something to say, please speak slowly."

Liu Wangjun smiled gently without any murderous intent: "Lao Zeng, this kind of weather means we can't fight alone. It's not like before when we each developed our own territory. We are being watched in the live broadcast, and the country and the world are also watching us through the live broadcast. We can't be laughed at by others, saying that the weather is so dangerous, and we are still clinging to unnecessary dignity. Even if we know that the people can't walk anymore, even if we know that the people have no strength psychologically, even if the supply points are willing to accept them, we have to take them through the snow regardless of their lives. What is face, Lao Zeng, find a way to keep the people alive, this is called dignity."

Zeng Changjin's bossy attitude disappeared in the midst of his soft and hard words. He nodded hurriedly, hesitating, "Okay, okay."

Liu Wangjun was pleased, his smile became sincere, and he said with a hearty laugh: "But I know what you are capable of, Zeng. Maybe if you stand up and make a few appeals, no one will participate in the job exchange program. Haha, I have always been optimistic about you over the years, you know that, right?"

Zeng Changjin's expression improved a little, and he said gratefully: "Yes, yes, we have always had a good relationship."

Thinking of something, he nodded to Fang Yi: "We are the same, we are the same."

Queen's living room.

Adam shook his head and said, "When Yue said he didn't care about the politics of the base, I agreed with him one hundred and ten thousand times."

Ye Lin was puzzled: "Well, why are you saying this? Is there any political trouble between Mr. Liu, Chief Fang and the chief named Zeng Changjin?"

She was somewhat happy: "Anyway, I can't see it, so I'll just watch the fun."

Johnny: "Girl, look, Liu Wangjun finally dug a trap for Zeng Changjin."

Ye Lin narrowed her eyes, a little moved: "Will it add more interesting plots?"

Yue Feng: "It's very good. The general trend is that when Zeng Changjin arrived at the supply point, he might have been impulsive and tried to stop the people who stayed behind, and the result was that reality taught him a lesson. Commander Fang is right. A large part of the ability to act is based on subjective initiative. Forced action is always reluctant and destructive. It is difficult to persuade people who don't want to walk in the snow anymore."

Ye Lin translated for herself: "It means that there might be a situation where Chief Zeng gives a lecture, but the people don't buy it."

She was a little happy again: "This mess is like a quarrel, it's a gossip scene."

Will a big fight have bad consequences?

Ye Lin knew without Yue Feng and others telling her that when this happened, both sides were at the supply point.

If an upgrade occurs, the staff at the supply point cannot just ignore it.

Well, this is some risk-free gossip, and well, it should be kind of fun.

Ye Lin called Zeng Changjin "Commander" because she knew she didn't know Zeng Changjin, and she didn't have much objection to his shouting in the projection.

Emotional gap.

Lack of emotion.

Ye Lin couldn't get angry or unhappy about some emotions.

Just from the fact that Fang Yi is the first officer, Zeng Changjin should respect his decisions. If Zeng Changjin did something at the supply point, then he would have no psychological burden at all reading this gossip.

There is no such thing as deliberately watching a joke, just watch it if there is something interesting going on.

Ye Lin smiled and said, "Butler, remember to help me browse such scenes. If they come out, show them to me."

They continued to eat, and Adam continued to mutter, "These old-time politicians seem to have no problem digging holes for people. They just open their mouths and find one."

See you tomorrow.
