One day….
Five days….
Ten days….
It’s getting nearer to the earthquake.
Under Dong Xuebing’s supervision, Guang Ming Subdistrict Office went all out to promote earthquake disaster response knowledge and evict those living in high-risk illegal buildings. He carried out his plan step by step and will stick his hands into the areas where deaths are reported in the future newspaper. Work is proceeding steadily in every neighborhood and household. He disregarded all objections and complained and continued to push them.
There’s progress every day.
Dong Xuebing wishes his Subdistrict could beco a fortress and achieve zero casualties during the earthquake.
The Subdistrict Office had also changed a lot.
The earthquake response exercise will continue as planned despite nurous complaints from many people. The exercise date is set, and even Guang Ming Subdistrict Office staffs find it ridiculous. They wonder why Director Dong is doing this as he has no reason to do it. To everyone’s surprise, the District Governnt approved it and issued funds to support them. Mayor Geng approved this. What’s more surprising is Deputy Work Party Committee Secretary, Geng Xinke, did not object to this exercise during their Work Party Committee eting. Geng Xinke and his n even helped to procure the relief supplies.
This shocked everyone.
Zhou Yanru, Wang Yuling, and the rest are stunned.
Everyone, including the whole of Nan Shan District, knows about Dong Xuebing and Geng Xinke’s grudges. They heard about Geng Xinke grabbing Dong Xuebing’s collar outside the District Party Committee Building, and why are they working together? They are also spotted chatting and joking outside of work. What is going on?
The God of Plague had shocked everyone again.
It is easy to persuade a neutral staff to join your faction.
But it is almost impossible to persuade soone from an opposing faction who had grudges against you to join your side. Furthermore, Geng Xinke’s sister is District Mayor Geng.
Director Dong can always do unbelievable things.
Many people in the Subdistrict Office are discussing him privately. They are impressed by Dong Xuebing’s abilities, but they are still doubtful about the exercise. This will be a large-scale exercise involving the whole Subdistrict. Where did Director Dong get this idea from?
Guang Ming Subdistrict Office’s actions had affected the surrounding Subdistricts residents, and many Subdistrict Offices complained to the District Governnt. They claid Dong Xuebing’s action had caused panic among their residents. But their complaints did not get a response from the District Governnt. Ping An Subdistrict Office Director, Chu Qinghua, did not complain or do anything. He watched what Dong Xuebing did and waited to see him embarrass himself.
No one thinks an earthquake will happen.
No one thinks Fen Zhou City will beco a disaster-hit zone. Major earthquakes had not happened in their area for decades, and nothing will happen in the future.
Such a mindset had beco the norm. Anyone who always thinks disasters will happen will be treated as paranoid or crazy.
Of course, Dong Xuebing is neither paranoid nor crazy.
Afternoon.
Subdistrict Office’s Work Party Secretary Office.
Dong Xuebing had received nurous feedbacks from his residents, other Subdistrict Offices, and the District Governnt departnts, and the pressure is mounting. He can understand how everyone feels, but he cannot explain himself. He ignored all these noises and continued with his plan. He will not stop what he has been doing because of these complaints.
This is Dong Xuebing’s determination.
Dong Xuebing can stand fearless in front of a landslide, let alone these complaints. These people will not deter him.
This is Dong Xuebing’s biggest rit and also his biggest flaw. He will do whatever it takes to achieve what he set his mind on and disregard everything. He will not regret it even if he is proven wrong and loses his job in the end. He had entered the governnt service and got promoted because of this mindset. He can make mistakes but never go against his conscience or ditch his dignity. He will never treat the residents’ lives lightly.
That’s why Dong Xuebing must conduct this earthquake response exercise.
Dong Xuebing took out that copy of the future newspaper and looked at the headlines with a cigarette between his lips. 9.25 Earthquake.
Sept 25th.
That is three days later.
Dong Xuebing only has three days left. He could feel the nerves and took a deep breath. He picks up his pen and rereads the earthquake response exercise proposal. He checked every sentence and signed it. After that, he called Zhou Yanru to make copies and distribute them to every neighborhood committee and Subdistrict Office departnt.
The exercise date is set on Sept 25th, which is when the earthquake happens.
Zhou Yanru doesn’t know why Dong Xuebing picks this day but does not ask anything.
Dong Xuebing exhaled loudly after giving out this task.
The Subdistrict Office is ready. It might not be foolproof, but Dong Xuebing had done his best. He had eliminated all the dangers he could think of and had nothing much to do now. There are only three days left, and he will implent the final step of his plan. This is an extrely risky and vital task. He is going to warn the whole city!
Dong Xuebing had decided to risk it all.
