Monday.
It was cloudy in the morning.
As soon as the people from Guangming Street Office arrived at work, they found out about Director Dong's prowess from the staff who worked overtime the day before and spread the news by word of mouth.
"Old Liang, have you heard about it?"
"I heard about it. What about the billboard?"
"Haha … you didn't see the expression on the owner's face. He did not care about us at all."
"The District Government had given us the cold shoulder. Who dares to care about us? Oh, what happened after that? "
"After that? There is a health care brewery's billboard below my house. I passed by it after work yesterday and was removing it. "
"Huh? Why did he remove it suddenly? Song Qingming got his men to remove it? What is he after? "
"He is not after anything. Anyway, Chief Dong had used some tricks to teach Song Qingming a lesson. He had no choice but to remove it."
"Is that true? I should have worked overtime yesterday. At least I can watch the show. "
"It was fun yesterday. That owner of the brewery is too arrogant. Does he think he can offend Chief Dong so easily?"
Dong Xuebing had arrived at work. He did not hear what the staff were talking about, but he knew what they were talking about.
After the billboard was dismantled, Dong Xuebing once again showed everyone his fighting prowess. This is a show of power and is also a way for Dong Xuebing to tell all the leaders who have ill intentions against him that he is not a pushover. You want to fight with me? Think about it. Don't think that just because I had offended the District's Party Secretary, Wang Anshi, you all can kick me when I am down!
I'd like to see who dares to take advantage of the situation and challenge me!
I will teach whoever dares to challenge me a lesson! Don't push me too far!
Now, Dong Xuebing was walking down the path of "corpses all over the streets." He was deviating from the correct path of the system. But Dong Xuebing has no other choice. Dong Xuebing, who is at the bottom of his political career, also wants to get back on the right track. That's why Dong Xuebing is so concerned about the earthquake. He wants to minimize the damage caused by the earthquake and not let anyone in the area under his jurisdiction die. This is not only for the safety of the people, but also for Dong Xuebing to not be affected by the earthquake. He wants to keep his position and get out of Nanshan District. He can move to a new environment and revive his political career.
Secretary's office.
Dong Xuebing immediately called Party Affairs Office. "Chief Zhou, have you removed all the billboards for the winery?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yanru said with a smile, "I just sent someone to take a look this morning. All of them have been dismantled."
"Alright, I understand." Dong Xuebing reminded. "In the future, if there are any applications for such billboards, do not be careless. You must check all the documents and the quality. Also, not only for the winery, we must also check all the other billboards installed along the streets. If you find any substandard billboards, just remove them immediately. Make a report and submit the documents to the District."
"Understood. I'll bring some people to follow them."
"Alright, do it. I'm relieved to leave it to you."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing had completed one of his plans.
A major earthquake … a major earthquake … There were still more than twenty days left, and an earthquake was imminent!
Dong Xuebing does not have any time to waste. He immediately turns on his laptop and starts typing. He also searched for relevant information on the internet and documents in his hands. He will start his next plan. It is to spread earthquake knowledge to the public.
Everyone knows that the moment an earthquake happens, even if it's a magnitude 8 earthquake, houses and walls will not collapse. There will be a buffer time, maybe five seconds, or maybe ten seconds. Even the oldest houses are not made of paper, and they have a certain degree of earthquake resistance. Furthermore, Da Feng County is the epicenter of a magnitude 8 earthquake, and in Nan Shan District, the tremors will be slightly weaker. That's why it's important to be prepared for an earthquake. Dong Xuebing had read a simple survey and statistics. Most of the people who died in an earthquake were panicking and did not find a suitable shelter before the earthquake. They were not prepared, and that's why the tragedy happened. But if everyone can use scientific methods to deal with the earthquake, most people will be able to survive. This shows the importance of earthquake knowledge.
Dong Xuebing remembered he had learned about earthquakes when he was still in school. But after so many years, he had forgotten about it. At most, he could only remember one or two important points. Even a university student like him can't remember it, let alone the rest of the people. Dong Xuebing believes everyone is lacking in this area. That's why Dong Xuebing wants to focus on this area. If everyone knows everything about earthquakes, then at least half of the thousands of people who died in the earthquake on Guangming Street will survive.
Dong Xuebing will do it immediately. But he must find a reason.
Dong Xuebing does not want to be charged with spreading rumors about an earthquake. He thought for a while and came up with an idea. He immediately called the Party Committee Office to inform the leaders of the various communities for a community meeting.
Morning.
A large meeting room.
Dong Xuebing was the last to arrive. But when he walked up the stairs, he saw a familiar figure. It's the Party Committee's Deputy Secretary, Geng Xinke.
Geng Xinke saw Dong Xuebing and looked at him. "Chief Dong, I'm here to report to you."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Secretary Geng, when did you return?"
"I had just returned from the Party School." Geng Xinke replied indifferently.
Dong Xuebing walked over and patted Geng Xinke's arm. "Xinke, you are finally back. The office needs you every day. It's good to have you back."
Geng Xinke got goosebumps when he heard Dong Xuebing calling him "Xinke."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Let's go. We are having a community meeting. Let's go together."
Geng Xinke frowned. He doesn't understand why Dong Xuebing is so friendly to him all of a sudden. Is this Dong Xuebing up to something bad again? Geng Xinke immediately became alert.
When Dong Xuebing entered the meeting room, everyone was already there.
Some were from the Street Office, and the rest were the people in charge of the various communities.
Dong Xuebing sat on the podium and took out the microphone. He doesn't want to waste time and went straight to the point. "Today's meeting is to assign a few tasks. All of you should know about the Wenchuan earthquake, Yushu earthquake, and the recent earthquakes in Indonesia and overseas. All of these had caused irreparable damage. People lost their homes, and people lost their loved ones …" Earthquakes happen almost every day in the world, and Dong Xuebing used this as an example to explain the dangers of earthquakes.
Everyone had different expressions after listening to Dong Xuebing.
After giving a long speech, Dong Xuebing continued reading. "Because of this, I think it's necessary to bring up the importance of earthquake knowledge. We cannot stop natural disasters, but we can prepare for them in advance. This is something we can do, and it's necessary to prevent disasters from happening." Dong Xuebing paused for a while and continued. "That's why from today onwards, I will assign a few tasks. All the neighborhood committees will lead a large-scale earthquake awareness campaign in each neighborhood. Hmmm … let me be frank. This is a political mission. All the neighborhood leaders will lead their men down to every household to spread the information. Regardless of whether it's the permanent residents or the transient residents, they must reach every household!" Dong Xuebing paused for a while and continued. "That's why I will assign a few tasks from today onwards.
Everyone in the meeting room started discussing among themselves. All of them are more practical.
"Earthquake prevention? Awareness campaign? "
"Isn't this just formalism?"
"Why are they suddenly doing this? How much manpower and resources will be wasted? "
"How much will it cost to distribute the brochures to every household? It won't cost the community, right? "
Geng Xinke, Zhou Yanru, and the rest of the Street Office leaders did not expect Dong Xuebing to do this. This is too sudden and out of the blue. Why did they suddenly want to popularize earthquake awareness? This is usually done after the Earthquake Bureau issues a mission to the Street Offices. The higher-ups do not have this instruction, and even if there is, it should only be carried out in schools. Why is there a need to popularize earthquake awareness for everyone? Is there a need for this? Their Street Office's annual budget is only a little, and they don't have so much spare cash.
Many people were quite dissatisfied with this.
But Dong Xuebing is going to make it clear he has the final say. He did not ask for anyone's opinion and said. "The Street Office will be in charge of printing the brochures. Director Wang, you will be in charge of this. Look for me to get the information later, and you can discuss with Director Zhou about the funding." He looks at Wang Yuling. "I will repeat this again. This awareness campaign is our top priority. Even if we have to put aside other matters, we must ensure this campaign goes smoothly. There is no need to wait for all the brochures to be printed. Distribute the brochures to me as soon as possible. I want to see the progress tomorrow."
Wang Yuling blinked. "Yes. I will do it well."
Dong Xuebing nodded and said into the microphone. "After you go back, all the communities will be assigned the tasks. If there are any problems, report to me immediately."
No one said anything, and they can't say anything.
Although they felt this is meaningless, the Street Office had given them the instructions, and they can only follow it.
Dong Xuebing looks at the meeting room and nodded. "Alright. Meeting dismissed!"
Geng Xinke shook his head in his heart. He is also puzzled. What is this Dong Xuebing trying to do? Why does he keep doing this?
