afternoon.
It's very hot outside.
It's already autumn, but the temperature still hasn't dropped much. []
Xun Xuebin sat alone at home with a gloomy and uncertain expression, already hating the experts who came down to inspect Earthquake Bureau to the bone. Originally, Dong Xuebin had a good idea. He reported the animal anomaly to the district, published an article with the newspaper, and used facts to sound a wake-up call for the whole city. He tried to make everyone more vigilant and better to be prepared. But who would have thought that Earthquake Bureau would disrupt his monthly plan with just one sentence. There were no earthquake signs. Even if everyone believed this result, Dong Xuebin would not believe it!
There are less than two days left! The Power of Time and Wealth 726
What now??
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, Zhou Yanru's phone came from across the street, "Director, I heard Earthquake Bureau said everything is fine?"
Xun Xuebin sneered, "How trustworthy do you think their side is?"
Zhou Yanru was startled, "That must be correct, right? They came with equipment."
Dong Xuebin had to figure it out, "What's the reaction from the district? Has the report been filed?"
"Sent it in." Zhou Yanru said in a deep voice, "But I still don't believe it. It seems that the district also knows the results of the Earthquake Bureau, and Zhouzhou, Secretary Anshi has been discharged from the hospital."
"Secretary Wang has recovered?"
"Yes, Zhou recovered from his illness, but it was a few days late."
,..., I know. "
Another bad news, Dong Xuebin feels like he has been memorizing words these past two days.
Dong Xuebin took a deep breath and thought about it over and over again in his mind. He felt that even if he became the target of public criticism, he must stand up no matter what. Holding a manuscript, Dong Xuebin Wu put it in his bag, opened the door and went downstairs, got in the car and drove all the way to Fenzhou Daily Newspaper Office.
The newspaper office is adjacent to the courtyard.
Dong Xuebin parked the car and got out of the car. He asked someone next to him about the News Department Su Jia's office and strode up to the third floor.
Dong Dong Dong, Dong Xuebin knocked on the door.
"Please come in." is the voice of Su Jia.
Xun Xuebin opened the door and said, "Sister Su, are you busy?,
Su Jia was the only one in the room. When he saw it was Dong Xuebin, Su Jia smiled and said, "Xuebin, why are you here? Sit down quickly and I will pour you a glass of water."
Dong Xuebin sat forward, "No need Sister Su, I have something to do with you."
Su Jia smiled and said, "Can't you just call me? Why come here?" The Power of Time and Wealth 726
Xun Xuebin said solemnly, "This matter is important and must be said face to face. Sister Su, my mother and your uncle are getting married soon. After all, we are also a family. With Fenzhou City's media department, I only know you, and I won't hide some things." After that, Dong Xuebin took out the article that he had printed out all morning and handed it to her, "Please read this first, I hope it can help me."
"Let me take a look." Su Jia nodded and took it, stretched out his hand and turned it over. His eyes were stunned. After looking at Dong Xuebin, she lowered her head and continued reading, her face becoming more and more solemn.
After a while, Su Jia finished reading.
Dong Xuebin said, "What do you think?"
Su Jia covered his forehead and said, "Earthquake? Xuebin, is it because you are too sensitive?"
"I have already investigated the abnormal data of animals. I also hope that I am too suspicious, but it is not the case."
"Have you reported it to the Earthquake Bureau? Let them check first?"
"I reported it and checked and said it was fine. Nothing happened."
Su Jia had the same reaction as most people, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then it should be fine, right? After all, it is a professional organization, better than us..."
Dong Xuebin said coldly, "They are professional, but have they predicted an earthquake in so many years? Their detection results cannot be trusted."
Su Jia hesitated and said, "How do you want me to help you?"
"I want to post this article to Fenzhou Daily so that all districts and counties can be more prepared."
"What?" Su Jia shook his head as soon as he heard this, "Xuebin, this is not possible, absolutely not possible. It's not that I won't help you, but I can't harm you."
Xun Xuebin looked at her and said, "This is to help me, not to harm me."
"This is nothing else. The impact of the earthquake was too great. In fact, I have heard that your street is doing Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction work these days, and there has been publicity, but doing this in Guangming Street is nothing. After all, it is your own internal work. If the matter is published in the daily newspaper, the impact will be on the whole city, and the panic caused will be city-wide. This is not even an earthquake prevention propaganda, but to tell everyone that an earthquake is coming. If you... don't do this well, you are spreading earthquake rumors."
Dong Xuebin said sternly, "Sister Su, I will definitely not harm you."
"It's not about harming me." Su Jia said, "It doesn't matter what I am like, but the scope of this matter is too large. This kind of report without scientific basis cannot be published casually."
"Cats and dogs are abnormal. Isn't this a scientific basis?"
"But the engraving result of the Earthquake Bureau has come out, what will others think?"
Xun Xuebin smacked his lips and said, "I know this thing is embarrassing for you, but you have to believe in one thing. You don't know who I, Dong Xuebin, am? I can't possibly trick anyone I can trick you."
Su Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Let me tell you the truth, Xuebin, it's not that I won't help you publish it, it's that I personally don't have the right. Even if I submit this article, Chief Editor will edit it I can't even pass one level, let alone layout and printing. Even my superiors have to get angry with me, and I can't even hand in the article. Although News Department and I are leaders, our power is still limited after all, and there is really nothing we can do..."
This is true. The Power of Time and Wealth 726
Xun Xuebin also understood and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows and fell silent.
After a pause, Su Jia pursed his lips, "Actually, the abnormal reactions of animals you mentioned made me a little scared. It's true that you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Xuebin, how about this? I can submit the article with your signature, and I can also help you fight for it, but I guarantee that it will definitely not be approved. We are not a small newspaper here, but are affiliated with the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, but I can give you a suggestion. It's not completely impossible to get it passed. The main thing is..." Su Jia lowered his voice, "It's enough to get my uncle to nod. He has many connections in the city and is also involved with the Propaganda Department. As long as my uncle nods and I report it, there is a certain chance that it will be approved."
Your uncle?
Municipal Party Committee Minister of Organization Department Yang Zhaode?
Dong Xuebin's eyes were determined, "Okay, thank you Sister Su, I'll try it.
Su Jia said yes, "Then I will revise your manuscript first, and then submit it for review tomorrow."
"Thank you very much. "Dong Xuebin knows that if it turns out to be a false alarm, Su Jia will also take political risks, so I am very grateful to her for her contribution.
"Don't thank me, I think what you said makes sense. We have to guard against earthquakes."
After leaving the newspaper office, Dong Xuebin got into his car, took out his cell phone, looked at it, and wanted to call Yang Zhaode.
But after hesitating for a long time, Dong Xuebin still didn't call. He had contacted Uncle Yang last time, but it had no effect. This time, Dong Xuebin simply called Mom Za Xiaoping.
Dudu nose, Mom answered the phone, "Hello, son?"
Dong Xuebin said, "Mom, Uncle Yang are you resting today?"
"We have a rest on Saturday. Mom is right here with you Uncle Yang, and is about to prepare dinner. Can't you come over tonight?"
"No, Mom, last time I asked you to do some work for Uncle Yang, put in the seismic data disk, have you done it?"
"Done it. "As soon as this was mentioned, Za Xiaoping smiled helplessly and said, "Why can't Mom care about the things you asked her to do? I told you twice and played the information disc several times, but you Uncle Yang were not very interested, and my mother didn't mention it again. You can't nag him every day, right?"
"Mom, I have to ask you something."
"What's wrong? Tell mom about it."
"Your blood pressure is high, don't worry, calm down and listen to me, okay?"
"What happened?"
"Our city... may be experiencing an earthquake!"
,..., what did you say!? "Jie Xiao Ping was shocked.
Xun Xuebin immediately told Mom about the abnormal situation of cats and dogs, and also told Mom about his worries and analysis results, "The earthquake is 99% certain. I can confirm this for you. And it looks like this is definitely not a small earthquake, at least 7.8 magnitude."
"This... this... what should I do?"
A major earthquake of around magnitude 8 will level many old communities with fragile buildings!
Za Xiaoqin didn't ask this and that like others, asked if it was possible, asked if you were too worried, her son said so, Za Xiaoping believed it, sometimes the relationship between mother and son is not as simple as trust, many things are unconditional, unconditional love, unconditional belief.
Dong Xuebin let out a long sigh and said, "The problem now is not what to do, but that except for me, everyone does not believe it and does not take it seriously. They all think that I am talking nonsense to them, so I want you to help tell Old Yang, not to ask Uncle Yang to support me, I beg now Uncle Yang asked him to help me get a manuscript approved. I have handed the article to Su Jia, and Sister Su will report it. But this matter can only be done if Uncle Yang helps me get the approval, so that the article can be published in the newspaper, so that everyone can be more vigilant and prepare for earthquakes."
"This..."
"Mom, can you tell Uncle Yang?"
"Okay, Mom... Mom knows!"
"Then I'll leave it to you, thank you mom."
"Don't worry, mom will do it for you. Just wait for mom to call."
Xun Xuebin is not sure whether things will work out. Now he can only rely on Mom. This article must be published. It must be published. This not only allows the people to prepare for earthquakes in advance, but also helps Yang Zhaode, Su Jia, and even everyone. As long as the article can be passed smoothly, even if it will cause a panic when it is published, it will put a lot of pressure on Dong Xuebin and Yang Zhaode and others, and cause some disturbances, but when the earthquake really comes the day after tomorrow, I am afraid everyone will thank him Dong Xuebin for sounding the alarm!
