The rain stopped.
A gust of wind blew, and the dark clouds dispersed.
Dong Xuebing kept his umbrella and passed it to his secretary, Su Yan. He looked at the clear sky and then at the rescuers from the City, whom he had scolded earlier. He took off his wet jacket and wrung it. His jacket was full of water. Among the rescuers, including those from Jiaolin County's rescue team, no one was as drenched as Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing was the most disheveled out of all the rescuers. He was the only one who had given his rain gear to a child to save the others. That's why he was soaked.
Su Yan was about to take off his coat. "Secretary, you can wear mine."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "It's fine. It's cold. You can wear yours."
"It's because it's cold, and that's why you have to wear it." Su Yan refused to do it. He was really worried about Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had braved such heavy rain to save people. Even the rescue team members had not done as much as Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had done the work of 6 to 7 rescuers, and he was still soaked. How could he do this? Su Yan refused to do it. He was really worried about Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing grabbed Su Yan's coat and did not let him take it off. "Alright. How fit are you? How fit am I?"
Su Yan and Tighe were slightly wider than Dong Xuebing. But Su Yan knew that he could not be compared to Dong Xuebing in terms of physique. But as the County's Party Secretary's secretary, Su Yan still said anxiously. "Then you should go back and change. You can't continue like this."
Dong Xuebing was still angry earlier, but after scolding the City's people, his expression became better. He smiled. "I am fine. It's just a drizzle." Dong Xuebing was not worried at all. He was not even afraid of the bullets hitting him. He did not even blink once. Why would he care about this drizzle? Dong Xuebing's physical condition was not something they could imagine.
A few other leaders who wanted to suck up to Dong Xuebing also took off their coats.
But Dong Xuebing rejected all of them. He thanked them for their kindness as he does not need it. Also, the cameras are still around. His subordinates took off their coats and let the County's Party Secretary take off their coats? This doesn't look too beautiful, does it? Dong Xuebing threw his wet coat to Su Yan and said to the others. "Mission accomplished. Thank you all for your hard work." Dong Xuebing did not say anything unnecessary. The rescue team's mission is to rescue people, and the leaders' mission is to protect the people's safety. In a few days, there will be rewards for their contributions, and they will be given out in the form of a meeting. This will be an acknowledgement of their contributions. But there are some exceptions, as they might not get rewards in other ways. Those are the local people and non-government workers who set up rescue teams. Dong Xuebing is very concerned about them and did not forget about them. "What about the rescue teams organized by the public?"
Su Yan pointed. "They are over there. They are of the rescue team.. and did not forget about them.
Dong Xuebing looked at them and immediately chased after them. The reporters and Jiaolin County's leaders also followed behind him.
"Everyone, please wait!" Dong Xuebing shouted.
There were about ten people there, and they were all taking off their raincoats. The colors of their raincoats were all red, green, and gaudy. They were not the rescue team's uniform at all. They were about to leave, but when they heard the noise behind them, they all turned around.
"Secretary Dong?"
"Secretary Dong."
Everyone knew who Dong Xuebing was after meeting him earlier. They were in awe of Dong Xuebing from the bottom of their hearts. Just the fact that he carried two children with one hand and went down the mountain in the rain was not something ordinary people could do, let alone a County's Party Secretary.
Dong Xuebing walked over and shook the first person's hand. "I represent all the Jiaolin County's leaders and residents to thank you."
That person was flattered and extended one hand to Dong Xuebing. But when he saw Dong Xuebing extending both his hands, he quickly added another hand to shake Dong Xuebing's hand. "Secretary Dong, you are too kind. You don't have to thank me. I am also a citizen from Jiaolin County.
Dong Xuebing shook the next person's hand with both hands. This is a woman in her thirties or forties. She looks like an office worker, but she had shown her strong physique during the rescue earlier. She should be a good athlete and is comparable to other men. "Sister, thank you."
The woman shook Dong Xuebing's hand with both hands. "It's what I should do. My children are about the same age as these students. How can I ignore this?"
The next person …
The next person …
The next person …
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, everyone!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Dong Xuebing did not find it troublesome and shook hands with the rescuers one by one, thanking them profusely. The reporters behind also recorded this scene, but they do not understand why Dong Xuebing is so concerned about this. Why? The reason is simple. The government officials and rescue teams are paid by the government, and this is their duty. But these people are different. They don't need to take the risk and can go home to accompany their wives and children. But these people chose to stay and rescue with the rest. This is the best side of human nature, and Dong Xuebing is overjoyed. When he first came to Jiaolin County, he felt Jiaolin County had let him down. The police work here is not good, and he is not satisfied. But now, he saw so many people volunteering to go up the mountain to rescue. They are not related to the students or the teachers, but they still did it. Dong Xuebing felt warmth in his heart.
The reporters are only taking pictures out of habit.
The rest of the people are also watching from the side.
But Meng Hanmei laughed in her heart when she saw this. She felt her evaluation of Dong Xuebing in the past is wrong. Who says Dong Xuebing does not know how to put on a show? Everyone might feel this way at the start, but who will say this now? Hmmm … Actually, this is not right. Hmmm … Actually, Meng Hanmei felt Dong Xuebing is not putting on an act. He is speaking from his heart and is different from Zhang Dongfang. Meng Hanmei felt she had not followed the wrong person. This Beijing's top leader is different from the rest. He is not arrogant, does not talk like a bureaucrat, and is not pretentious or pretentious. He is a pure and honest person, and he had shown his flaws and scoundrels in front of them. He might seem immature and unconventional, but when Meng Hanmei thought about it, she felt he is reliable. Although she had only known Dong Xuebing for slightly more than a day, Meng Hanmei knows Dong Xuebing will not use his subordinates as scapegoats or betray them. It's normal to be afraid when following such a leader, but … she is at ease!
This sentence is contradictory.
But at this moment, Meng Hanmei has this thought. Dong Xuebing is a young and unreliable Party Secretary. He had scolded the City Government's people in front of so many reporters. But Meng Hanmei feels more at ease following Dong Xuebing than following Secretary Li Guian. Meng Hanmei does not know why, but she is more interested in Dong Xuebing now.
Reason?
Maybe there is no reason.
This might be the most interesting part of getting along with others.
… …
A few minutes later.
Several tour buses and rescue vehicles carrying nearly a hundred teachers and students left one after another. These students and teachers were all fine. The buses also drove directly to the city to send the students back. Many parents also drove their private cars back, but there were still some who stayed for a while.
"Secretary Dong!"
"Are you Secretary Dong?"
"You are busy earlier, and we dare not come over."
"That's right. Now we can talk to you!"
A few parents walked over to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing looked at them and nodded. "I'm Dong Xuebing."
One of the women cried and went forward to shake Dong Xuebing's hand. "Thank you … Thank you. Thank you for sending my child down the mountain in time. I had called the hospital, and they said it's acute pneumonia and some complications. My child's fever had reached 40 degrees Celsius and is about to rise. If we had come down the mountain later, the consequences will be dire."
Dong Xuebing immediately knew this is the parents of the two children he had carried down the hill. "You have sent them to the hospital? That's good. Is their fever still there? "
The mother replied. "The fever had subsided slightly."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "It's good that they are getting better."
The mother cried. "It's all thanks to you."
Another family member also said. "Thank you! Thank you! "
Another person said. "Secretary Dong! I heard from my daughter that she almost fell down the hill. You are the one who saved her. I … I thank you! "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Don't mention it. This is our job, and it's what we should do. Everyone, go back."
