Chapter 1448: Chapter 1015: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 23 (five thousand)_3
Qi Yong joined the foundation in September, and after working for a few months, the feedback she got was quite surprising.
He is hardworking and resilient, and in communicating with the villagers, he demonstrated the diplomacy he learned over the years. Although she paid him a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan (since the hardship demands at least ten thousand), he only kept two thousand for living expenses and transferred the rest to the old man.
It is said that he has quit smoking and drinking now.
Their foundation frequently had to interact with village committees, and eating out was inevitable, yet he truly managed to abstain from alcohol altogether.
This genuinely surprised her.
Initially, her subordinates did not know about their relationship. Only because Qi Qi asked frequently, did they connect the surname.
The few people who were following her had come from Xingchen, so they somewhat knew about her family matters. Although she did not explicitly state it, they instantly understood.
"Even if you’ve guessed it, just treat him as an ordinary employee. A prodigal son needs several years of polishing to reform. I hope you don’t treat him as a special individual."
Fortunately, the young man in charge of this area was very perceptive.
"Sister Qi, rest assured, I know what to do and will promptly update you on his situation."
On November 10th, before the heating had started, snow began to fall in Beijing. Though initially, everyone was quite happy with the snow, who would have thought it would grow heavier? After three consecutive days of heavy snow, certain areas in Beijing experienced house collapses, electricity and water supply lines froze, and there was a severe shortage of water and electricity.
On the second day of the heavy snow, transportation was effectively paralyzed, schools also suspended classes, and all units issued closure notices. People voluntarily took to the streets to shovel snow.
Originally scheduled to start heating on the 15th, it had to be brought forward, and the young lads from the company also went to different places for disaster relief.
The armed police and firefighters from all over the country came to support Beijing.
Donations and supplies came in from across the country. Qi Qi, being in the disaster area herself, arranged her home properly and immediately instructed the company personnel from outside the city to purchase supplies overnight, buying four and a half large trucks full of supplies. Just these foods, water, and thermal blankets and clothing cost her about three million yuan.
Since they already had a foundation, there was no need to donate money elsewhere. In addition, Li Xingchen’s company also had many idle people, so they collaborated with the Seven Princesses Scholarship Fund to jointly purchase seven million yuan worth of disaster relief supplies. After sending them to Beijing, all employees, including foundation workers outside, were retracted.
Wherever there was a need, they delivered supplies, from small items like warm baby stickers, hot water bags, thermal innerwear to larger items like quilts and down jackets. While busily engaged, they also made sure to assign someone to create video records, not for show but as evidence for when they might be criticized later.
Qi Qi never expected that this winter, the two companies would spend their time both helping others and saving themselves during relief efforts.
Working alongside those battling against the snow and emergencies, from early morning till late, surviving on makeshift meals, sleeping on floor bedding, staying busy with their feet barely touching the ground, they still encountered the misfortune of a factory collapse. At that time, she pushed the person beside her to safety as the snow cascaded down, covering her.
She lost consciousness when hit and only woke up when someone beside her shook her.
"Comrade, wake up, wake up, make sure not to fall asleep!"
Qi Qi slowly opened her eyes, feeling a pain in her head, and gradually returned to consciousness.
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. Luckily this is a triangular area. I just dragged you out. Besides the head injury, you have serious abrasions on your back. Fortunately, you were dressed warmly, or it would’ve been worse."
Qi Qi stared intently at the rescuer’s clothes and epaulettes: "Are you... with the fire brigade?" Oh, it’s a squad leader!
All around them was snow. She didn’t know how much effort he exerted to drag her out. She didn’t expect that he, along with his colleagues, was observing the factory’s terrain map just behind her at the time of the incident. When the accident occurred, he pushed aside the person next to him first, and Qi Qi ended up lying on top of him, as he managed to pull her down.
"This place is very dangerous, and there’s still a risk of another collapse."
Qi Qi moved her leg, and suddenly a sharp pain attacked, instantly making the firefighter tense up.
