The next day.
Saturday morning.
It was Dong Xuebing's day off, and he woke up with one word in his mind. Earthquake! Earthquake! Earthquake!
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and ate his breakfast. He did not waste any time and sat on the sofa. He took out the electronic report and a notebook to write down his plans. He wrote down what he should do, must do, and must do. He planned out the period of one month before the earthquake. Among the plans, there were still a few important ones. First, reorganize the areas under the jurisdiction of the Guangming Street Office. Dong Xuebing's target is to reduce the number of deaths to zero. Second, convince Yang Zhaode, Xie Huilan, and the rest. If he could not convince them once, he will try again. If he could not convince them twice, he will try thrice.
The countdown to the earthquake is starting!
Dong Xuebing was on fire, and it all depends on Dong Xuebing's actions over the next few days to reduce the casualties and keep his position. If Dong Xuebing fails, his political career will end, and thousands of people will die. Dong Xuebing cannot afford to lose.
One more month!
This is the deciding moment!
After completing the plan, Dong Xuebing is ready to do more.
Dong Xuebing smiled and switched on his PC to his phone. He started to 'bombard' Xie Huilan and Geng Yuehua with messages and emails. Dong Xuebing recorded all the earthquake casualties in China and around the world and sent them to them. He did not send them all at once. He sent them dozens of messages and emails for each earthquake!
Sent!
Sent!
Sent!
Dong Xuebing does not know how Xie Huilan and Geng Yuehua will react after receiving dozens of messages, but he can guess their expressions will not be good.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
It's Geng Yuehua, and Dong Xuebing answered. Geng Yuehua shouted. "Dong Xuebing! What are you trying to do?! "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Mayor Yuehua, don't be angry. I just want you to know the dangers of earthquakes. This is not me trying to scare you."
"Nonsense!" Dong Xuebing hung up.
The next moment, Xie Huilan's message arrived.
Dong Xuebing's phone screen showed: Are you trying to be shameless?
Dong Xuebing replied: You must consider my suggestion. Who knows if the earthquake will happen suddenly? He couldn't leave it to chance.
Beep, beep … … Xie Huilan replied: You … … Haha … … Let me consider.
Dong Xuebing laughed and replied. "Are you trying to brush me off?
Xie Huilan: I can only think about it. Stop harassing me with messages. It's rare for me to have a day off. Haha …
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. He knew it was not easy to persuade them, but Xie Huilan's attitude gave him hope.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Dong Xuebing opened the door, and a young man in a courier uniform appeared.
"Did you call for delivery?" the man asked.
"Yes, I have something to post." Dong Xuebing asked him to enter the house and took out a few packages and passed them to him. "These are for Yan Tai County, these are for Nanshan District, and this is for the City. I will tell you the address, and you can write it down." These are earthquake information and imaging documents. There are also a few movies and DVDs. Dong Xuebing had gotten them last night. The two packages for Yan Tai County are for Xie Huilan's work unit and family quarters, the one for Nanshan District is for Geng Yuehua, and the one for the City is for Dong Xuebing's mother.
After settling all these, the courier left.
Dong Xuebing called his mother, Luan Xiaoping. "Mum, are you free today?"
Luan Xiaoping nodded. "I am preparing for my lessons at home. What's wrong?"
"Well, I've sent you some information about earthquakes," Wang Yao said.
"Earthquake? Yesterday, your Uncle Yang told me that you … "
"I can't explain it to you. Mum, I just want to ask you one question. Are you closer to Old Yang or me?"
Luan Xiaoping laughed. "Of course. You are my son."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Alright. You must do me a favor. When Old Yang returns home at night, you can show him the information in the package. If not, you can also watch the movie. Anyway, when you go to Old Yang's place, you must show him the information about the earthquake."
"What are you doing?"
"Mum, just tell me if I can do it or not."
"Alright … alright. I will try."
"Thank you, Mum. I will let you handle this."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing had completed the first step of his mission. Tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that, Dong Xuebing will bombard Xie Huilan and the rest to make them take this seriously. This is for the sake of Fen Zhou City's residents and Xie Huilan, Geng Yuehua, and the rest's futures. Dong Xuebing was forced to resign after the earthquake, and who knows if Xie Huilan, Geng Yuehua, and the rest will be punished? Or even removed from their posts? Fired? That's why Dong Xuebing cannot give up on persuading them. He must win them over slowly.
10 am.
Dong Xuebing took a sip of water and made up his mind. After this is over, it's time for the next step.
Dong Xuebing does not have the authority to command others and can only warn and remind them. But he can do more in his own area. Of course, shouting that an earthquake is coming is not allowed. Old Yang had reminded Dong Xuebing yesterday that spreading rumors about an earthquake is illegal. But it's legal to take precautionary measures.
Dong Xuebing flipped to the first page of his notebook, and it's the casualty figures he copied from the future newspaper. 43 people were killed. This was the number of casualties caused by the billboards of a health wine factory along Guangming Street. Future reports had stated that all the billboards of this health wine factory had quality problems. When the earthquake happened, four of the five billboards on Guangming Street had collapsed. Dong Xuebing saw the picture of these collapsed billboards on the front page of Future Electronics. Some of the collapsed billboards were in densely populated areas, and some were in public areas along the roads. After the earthquake, 43 people were killed or killed in car accidents caused by the collapsed billboards.
The health wine billboards are illegal. This is Dong Xuebing's first target!
Forty-three civilians! Dong Xuebing will not let them die. He wants all the civilians under his jurisdiction to be spared!
This might sound ridiculous, but Dong Xuebing must try!
