Please make money.

"Also, please ask Miss Ai to come here tomorrow morning."

"I'm afraid I can't come."

"why?"

"She's there now." He pointed to the newly opened artery on the big screen: "She was the one who led the team to clear the way."

"...Go in person?"

"I went there in person."

"How old is she?" The man was in a daze for a moment: "I - the Alia from Tianhai's Ten Outstanding Youths, is it her?"

If he remembered correctly, that 'Miss Ai' seemed to be only eighteen or less than nineteen years old?

"Yes, it's her. It's a person."

“……” The man thought about it, decided not to sleep, walked back and started packing.

"Li Bu?"

"You watch over here while I go to Boss Tie's place. What were you doing when you were nineteen?"

"I was in high school at the time and wanted to be a poet, so I submitted my works every day."

"The results of it?"

"In the end, I'm not here anymore. It didn't work out."

"It's good. When I was nineteen, I wanted to join the army."

"Is it done?"

"It's done - here's the result -"

The man took the documents and stood up again, his back straight as a sword.

"A 19-year-old girl is busy, how can we sleep, right?"

"..."

……

……

"Can't leave."

"Can't leave?"

"Can't leave."

On the eve of this year's Spring Festival travel rush, many companies welcomed a return to work wave with "early holidays".

Some companies, such as the Ai Group, wanted to let their employees go home early due to weather reasons.

Some are also due to festive reasons. Since New Year’s Day and Spring Festival are next to each other this year, they might as well celebrate them together.

In addition, most of Donghuang's migrant workers are concentrated in the Lingnan area, and now a large number of passengers have booked their tickets early.

Due to the stagnation of air and road passenger transport, many foreign tourists were forced to choose trains as their means of transportation.

All these coincidences combined together eventually led to the spectacle of 400,000 people gathering at Lingnan Railway Station waiting for the train in just one day.

Despite continuous diversion, resettlement points have been opened in various large exhibition halls, and intercity transportation is running at full speed to attract people.

But in the end, there were still nearly 100,000 people who were unwilling to go anywhere.

In the age of transportation and information, everything is convenient, but no matter how convenient it is, we cannot turn back time.

For migrant workers who return home, carrying large and small bags of belongings, where else can they go if they don’t go back to their hometown to celebrate the holidays and the New Year?

For those tourists who have already checked out of the hotel and ended their trip and only have simple luggage, where else can they go if not go home to escape the chilly weather?

You said you couldn't leave, but when you bought the ticket you didn't say you couldn't leave.

I have bought the ticket, why won't you let me go?

As a cold wave hits, the nighttime temperature in the Lingnan region begins to approach zero degrees for the first time.

This may not be a big deal for people living in the North; it's just normal temperature at most.

But for people living south of the Wuling Mountains, in this city where people can wear beach pants and slippers on the streets at least half of the year, this is undoubtedly a disaster.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night...

Nearly 10 people were crowded into seven large awnings outside the train station, struggling to survive this cold winter night.

They were anxiously waiting for the arrival of their train, but they never saw a train coming into the station.

Snowstorm? Where is the snowstorm? I can’t see any snowstorm!

The arrival of cold waves and ice and snow has paralyzed railway lines in various parts of the country.

Although Yangcheng Railway Station escaped the disaster, the station in front of it was closed to traffic due to heavy snow and freezing.

So everyone thought - it's just a little late - as long as the green light for traffic comes on, everything will be fine!

Train delays are common and passengers just grit their teeth and endure it.

But as time passed, after people had waited for a long time, the cold and hunger wore away the travelers' patience.

At three o'clock in the morning, there are 100,000 passengers. This is the most crowded scene ever seen.

The sleepless, cold and hungry passengers began to get anxious and started to question the staff why the train was delayed and how long it would be delayed.

Then, accompanied by freezing rain that woke people up, all kinds of conflicts and contradictions ensued.

Conflicts between passengers and staff, and conflicts among passengers ensued one after another, and the train station became a mess.

Donghuang has rich experience in dealing with the Spring Festival travel rush, but that experience has always been about sending people home rather than keeping them there.

Now they asked their superiors, but they were too busy to handle the task. They only had one task for them:

Keep the people here!

If you can't leave, then stay. You have no choice but to stay.

But people are left here to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep, so where do they get the supplies?

The emergency relief departments opened warehouses everywhere and were shocked to find that there was not enough supplies to cope with the large amount of supplies caused by the snowstorm and ice.

When (TM) do people south of the Wuling Mountains need to worry about this? Huh? Snowstorm? Freeze? ?

In desperation, they could only provide food and drinks to the tourists, build a temporary shelter from the rain, and then pull all the mobile public toilets in the scenic area over.

Then we had to go purchase supplies overnight - who has ever seen emergency relief requiring buying things at the market - but this happened.

Evacuation facilities were operating at full capacity, and public broadcasting and electronic bulletin systems were never shut down.

However, as the number of tourists increased like a tide, the physical limits of the crowd were also challenged.

The toilets were overcrowded, and some passengers even "relieving themselves on the spot", and the waiting room was filled with a foul smell.

Around five in the morning, some passengers with weak physical fitness gradually fainted from exhaustion caused by hunger and fatigue.

They fell helplessly in the tide of the crowd like drowning people and were almost trampled.

Fortunately, after a day and a night, a large number of people were not overwhelmed, and they carried the exhausted and fainted people away from their heads.

However, as more and more people were carried out, the scene became more and more chaotic, and the official organization of Yangcheng could no longer maintain order.

The huge train station was filled with noise, anger, wailing, and cries for help.

There were also many rumors and lies mixed in. One moment some people said that the train had arrived at the station, and the next moment some people said that the train had already taken some people away.

Various versions of the story spread among the crowd, and the group, who could only see the backs of others' heads, was like a rolling wave.

At this time, accompanied by the roar of vehicles, trucks drove in one after another, and a large number of military green figures began to appear outside the train station.

We cannot allow the situation to become chaotic any longer and we cannot lose order.

Even if we have to build a human wall, we must separate and relocate the crowd.

Therefore, the Donghuang military dispatched 40,000 soldiers to rush to the railway station overnight to maintain order.

It seemed that a group of people had been added to the already crowded train station, but the strong discipline of the soldiers effectively maintained order at the scene.

With their efforts in two shifts for almost a day and a night, the 100,000 people stranded in the crowded Yangcheng Railway Station were diverted again to the nearby exhibition halls.

By the next morning, in the huge Yangcheng Railway Station, apart from the 40,000 soldiers, there were less than 50,000 passengers who were still reluctant to leave.

But this is not the end, it is just the beginning of another battle.

Don’t forget that those tourists who were diverted to the exhibition hall also need to be sent home.

Temporary resettlement is only a stopgap measure. How do we send them back?

More than two million people in northern Guangdong will leave and return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival.

Diverting 50,000 this time and 100,000 next time is just a drop in the bucket!

The authorities asked television stations to organize charity performances that could calm people's hearts, promote staying in local areas to celebrate the New Year, and avoid taking risks in crowded places.

At the same time, this evening party has another purpose, which is to raise funds for disaster relief supplies from the society.

Yangcheng is more than 1,400 kilometers away from Tianhai, but only a stone's throw away from Bauhinia.

Mr. Huo, Mr. Chen and others all struggled in Yangcheng in their early years.

Even the Nansha Islands, which was just a mudflat back then, were developed through investment led by Mr. Huo.

Boss Huo, who was far away in Tianhai, was extremely anxious when he saw the city he once fought for was in such a predicament. He began to collect supplies in Tianhai and tried to transport them over.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he received a visit request from Jiang Tianyi——

"Why are you still busy socializing at this time! Is this the time for holiday visits?"

Boss Huo was very angry. Girl Jiang’s awareness in this regard was far inferior to Girl Ai’s!

But when he saw the list that Jiang Tianyi brought along with the visit, he was surprised again.

"How could she prepare so many things... Hurry! Let her come - no, I'll go myself!"

Boss Huo is not a high-handed person. He went out personally to bring Jiang Tianyi in.

Then I understood why Jiang Tianyi had prepared so many supplies in Yangcheng.

——Alia ordered it!

At the transit point in Yangcheng, Alia entrusted Tianrun Department Store's channels and warehouses to store a batch of disaster relief supplies.

Moreover, there were eight kinds of disaster relief supplies, including cotton coats and quilts, which the people in the area south of the Wuling Mountains might not need even once in their lifetime.

There were 300,000 sets of clothing, bedding, etc., and even more supplies such as tents and folding beds, totaling 500,000 sets.

These relief supplies, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, can meet the emergency needs of about 500,000 people.

Moreover, by transiting through existing storage points, it can quickly cover various surrounding areas, with fast transit and on-demand access.

In addition, the direct purchase base and logistics park established in China by Tianrun Department Store in its earlier cooperation with Aililai can also be used.

The logistics park near Yangcheng can supply 250 tons of vegetables every day, enough to meet the consumption of 50 people in the urban area.

The daily supply of rice, noodles, oil, etc. is about 200 tons, and the daily supply of fresh meat, seafood, poultry eggs, etc. is 150 tons.

If it operates at full capacity, it can become the largest base and transit station for the supply of daily necessities near Guangzhou.

The park's reserves of rice, noodles, oil, frozen pork and other daily necessities can meet the needs of citizens for one month.

Boss Huo asked, how come you have so many things stored?

Jiang Tianyi sighed. She just thought that Alia had asked her for a favor, but she didn't know that Alia's favorite thing was saturation rescue.

After confirming that something might go wrong, she not only contacted Jiang Tianyi, but also contacted and coordinated with more than 400 suppliers through the Aili supermarket chain.

She has people throughout Donghuang, and they go to various places to organize supplies almost a month in advance.

"In order to ensure freshness, fresh vegetables are mainly purchased from Guangzhou and surrounding areas."

"Potatoes and rice come from a wide range of sources, with some even coming from Inner Mongolia. There are seven such supply points in total."

These seven supply points are located in seven different major provincial capitals. Only when the goods arrived did Jiang Tianyi understand why Ailia spent money to buy warehousing.

Not to mention her own Aili supermarket, even Jiang Tianyi's Tianrun Department Store warehouse chain could barely hold all these things.

You have to know that to have this level of material reserves, even the official ones would have to have provincial disaster relief material reserves to have a similar amount.

Arya stuffed seven of them in one go—did the wind blow her money?
