“Of the 15 prefecture-level cities, 13 have been flooded. Many villages near the rivers have an entire floor submerged.”
“Although no one has been injured yet, this rare flood will cause incomparably huge losses to the entire Fengling Province.”
“In the city, there are also many private merchants and supermarkets. There are also people who have been flooded.”
“If the losses of these commoners are also counted, it will be an even more exaggerated number.”
Zhou Jingyi spoke very seriously. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became.
Chen Yun nodded. He was not surprised to know that Fengling Province had suffered a flood. This was because the rainfall in the dozen or so cities there every year, especially during spring, could reach an especially exaggerated number.
Once the rainfall was high, it would be difficult for the entire Fengling Province to avoid floods.
Therefore, they were basically used to floods.
However, the flood this year was clearly more serious than in previous years. Otherwise, thirteen cities wouldn’t have been flooded, and the news wouldn’t have spread so widely online.
“So you mean that at such a time, you should make some contributions to your hometown, right?” Chen Yun asked.
“Yes.” Zhou Jingyi nodded.
“What you said makes sense. Then I’ll go with you to take a look.” Chen Yun agreed.
In the past, when Chen Yun found out about the flood in Fengling Province, he would probably only pray in his heart that everyone was safe. Then, he hoped that the flood would subside as soon as possible.
He would not rush to the frontlines without caring about his work.
However, now that Chen Yun had a strong economic strength and was relatively free in terms of time, it would really be unreasonable if he did not do anything for Fengling Province in this situation.
Hence, the next day, Chen Yun and Zhou Jingyi took a plane to the provincial capital of Fengling Province, Fengjiang City.
Fengjiang City was also one of the cities that suffered the most from the flood.
From the news, Chen Yun learned that a third of the city, including the city, had already been submerged.
There were nearly a million people in the city who were homeless. They relied on the tents set up by the officials as temporary residences.
Those who had relatives and friends whose houses had yet to be flooded went to the houses of their relatives and friends to take refuge.
At this moment, on a main road in Fengjiang City, a black business car was driving at a uniform speed.
In the car, Chen Yun, Zhou Jingyi, and a bespectacled, gentle-looking middle-aged man were sitting in the backseat.
Because he was in contact with Zhou Jingyi, when he found out that there was a successful businesswoman in Jiangbei whose hometown was Fengling, he wanted to come over and do his best to help her hometown. He immediately called a special car to receive this boss.
“Chen Xianxian, although there was also a flood attack, Fengjiang City is still relatively lucky compared to the other cities in Fengling Province. It didn’t encounter a large-scale flood attack.” Zheng Hailiang, who was sitting at the side, said, “Moreover, this morning, they sent news that the flood has basically subsided.”
“Whether it’s transportation, water, or electricity, they’ve all been restored.”
“In terms of casualties, there were only three firefighters. Because they were too tired from saving people in a row, they were dehydrated and sent to the hospital.” freewebno(v)el
“Other than the three heroes who saved people, the other citizens of Fengjiang City did not suffer any harm.”
Along the way, Zheng Hailiang took the initiative to talk about the flood situation in various areas of Fengling Province. He was very familiar with the situation in all the cities. It could be seen that he was very serious when dealing with the flood control work and did not play dumb at all.
“Director Zheng, if we want to donate supplies, what kind of procedure should we go through?” At this moment, Zhou Jingyi asked directly, “Should we donate it to the Fengling Red Cross Society directly? Or should we directly transport the supplies to the disaster area?”
“Anything is fine,” said Zheng Hailiang. “It can be transported to the front line or handed over to the Red Cross Society to deal with.”
“However, after donating, remember to report to the Red Cross Society and record your donations.”
“How about this? We have a record here. Good people like you won’t be forgotten over time.”
“Then what supplies do you probably lack the most now?” Chen Yun asked.
“Large tents, food, daily necessities, and rubber submarines for saving people. They’re all lacking.”
At this point, Director Zheng frowned and said solemnly, “If we’re talking about what we lack the most, it’s still food and daily necessities. Currently, there are more than a million affected people living in tents in Fengjiang City.”
“Moreover, this number will continue to increase as the flood continues to attack.”
“At that time, we will be even more nervous about food.”
“Now, when our staff distribute food to the affected people in the disaster area, we try our best to distribute it sparingly. We try our best not to waste a grain of rice, a drop of water, or a piece of paper.”
“I didn’t expect it to be so serious.” Chen Yun’s expression darkened. He was also worried about these Fengling people who had been affected.
It seemed that when donating resources, not only did he have to do it in large quantities, but he also had to do it quickly. He had to strive to send all the resources to Fengling Province in a few hours.
Ten minutes later, the black business car drove into the office building of the provincial party committee.
“Mr. Chen, Miss Zhou, let me introduce a few people to you first.” As he invited the two of them out of the car, Director Zheng said, “These people are also businessmen who do business outside the city, but their hometown is also like Miss Zhou. They were born in Fengling Province.”
“When they found out that Fengling Province was in trouble, they were in the same mood as you, Miss Zhou. They all wanted to do their best to help Fengling survive this crisis.”
Chen Yun only nodded and was not surprised.
It was normal for merchants from his hometown to want to contribute to his hometown like him.
After all, there were many good people in this world.
After getting out of the car, Chen Yun and Zhou Jingyi walked into the office building of the provincial committee under Director Zheng’s lead.
Then, the three of them took the elevator to the fifth floor.
There was a room called the reception room on the fifth floor. Director Zheng brought Chen Yun and Zhou Jingyi to the entrance of the reception room.
Then, Director Zheng raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Mr. Bai, Mr. Zhang, are you still there?”
“Yes, we’re here. Director Zheng, come in. The door is unlocked,” replied a man with a deep voice loudly from the reception room.
