BXBX NOVEL Chapter 731: Common will
Chapter 731: Common will
Everyone knows what Dong Xuebing is going to do. He will evacuate the residents without the City or District Governments’ permission. He will do it when he doesn’t know if an earthquake is going to happen or not. This is crazy, and this is not as simple as taking responsibility by resigning. If the earthquake did not happen, he would be charged with spreading malicious rumors to incite the people. He will be jailed. He will be spending his life in prison.
But no one dares to say anything now.
Everyone can feel Dong Xuebing’s determination from his speech.
Dong Xuebing would rather lose his job and jail to protect his residents.
This is Dong Xuebing’s courage and determination.
Everyone registers profound respect for Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing shouted into the microphone. “I am repeating this! This is my decision and has nothing to do with you all! I will bear full responsibility! I need everyone’s help now!
I need a lot of help! I know this is a difficult decision for you all! I am also suspended from my duties now! But this is fine! If anyone of you wants to leave, go ahead. No one will blame you.”
No one leaves, and the meeting hall remains quiet.
Suddenly, Wang Yuling stood up. “Director! Just give the orders! I will follow your orders!”
Zhou Yanru clenched her teeth and shouted. “Tell me what you want me to do! Our Work Party Office Department will support you!”
Police Station Chief Pang Gang laughed loudly. “I don’t know if anyone will leave, but no one from our Police Station will leave! You are right. Our residents might be in danger, and we must be at the frontlines to protect them! It’s just bearing the responsibility for this action! If you are not afraid, we are also not afraid of it!”
Why do we catch drug peddles, arms smugglers, robbers, etc.?! It is to protect our residents! Some of our officers had been shot and risked our lives to do that! I dare to say that our Guang Ming Subdistrict Police Station doesn’t have any pussies!”
All the Police Officers cheered and supported their Chief.
“Chief Pang is right!”
“We are not afraid either!”
“I had been shot before! Do you think I am scared of being punished?!”
Dong Xuebing’s speech ignited the fighting spirit, and Wang Yuling, Zhou Yanru, and Pang Gang took the lead. Many others immediately join in.
“I will do it!”
“Director, we will follow your orders!”
“That’s right! If the District Government disagrees, we will do it ourselves!’
Even Geng Xinke is affected. His blood rushed to his head. “Director, you are treating us as outsiders. I am not a timid person! Count me in! We will evacuate the residents, and we will face the music together!”
Geng Xinke’s men immediately join in.
No one left the meeting hall. All of them remained in their seats.
Dong Xuebing was touched when he saw this. He felt a fire burning inside him and shouted. “Alright! All of you have proven your mettle!”
Ring… ring… ring…. Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
Dong Xuebing wanted to hang up, but he stepped back and answered when he saw the number.
“Hello…. It’s me…… Yes…… Ok…… Ok…… I understand…… alright.” Dong Xuebing looks better after hanging up. He took a deep breath and held up his phone. “The District Government had issued an order! They want all Subdistrict Offices to be prepared for disaster relief responses!” Disaster relief is different from evacuating the residents. This is getting the Subdistrict Offices to be ready in the event of a disaster.
The crowd starts to talk about it.
“The District Government wants us to be prepared for disaster relief?! Then why did they suspend Director Dong?!”
“Didn’t you hear what Director said? The order is from the District Government and not the District Party Committee.”
“Ah?! Does that mean it is an order from Mayor Geng?! This……”
“Wow! It’s a mess now!”
Geng Xinke did not expect his sister to act at this time. She is going against Wang Anshi on this matter!
Things are getting complicated. The residents are worried, the City Leaders are furious, and the District Leaders are going after Dong Xuebing. Now, the District’s No. 1 and No. 2 are waging war!
It’s chaos!
Only Dong Xuebing remains steady. Everyone can panic except for him. He knows Geng Yuehua had changed her mind because of what he said earlier at the Party Committee Meeting. He is touched. He knows an earthquake is going to happen because of his powers. But Geng Yuehua doesn’t have FORWARD, and she doesn’t know what will happen tomorrow. Yet, she orders the Subdistrict Offices to get ready for an earthquake. Nan Shan District’s residents are blessed to have a leader like her. She had helped him a lot with this order. He can go all out and do what he wants now!
Dong Xuebing decisively gave out orders. “I will assign your roles now. Secretary Geng, you will station in the Subdistrict Office to coordinate all parties. Director Zhou sent the disaster relief supplies we bought to Guang Ming garden, plaza, empty spaces, and build temporary relief centers. Director Wang, you will assist Director Zhou and get manpower from the Neighborhood Committees if you don’t have enough people. If the Neighborhood Committees cannot supply enough manpower, get help from volunteers and activate the Party Members! We must set up the relief centers by tomorrow morning!”
“Yes!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling rushed out with a few Neighborhood Committees staff.
Dong Xuebing continues. “Director Yu, Director Meng, print more evacuation notices immediately. We might not evacuate all residents in time. Still, we must evacuate those living in old buildings, factories, and small neighborhoods. I want you all to evacuate all those residents! Work with the Neighborhood Committees and inform all residents about the evacuation. Follow our disaster relief exercise plan!”
“Yes!”
“We will go and do it now!”
“Chief Pang!” Dong Xuebing said. “You are in charge of maintaining law and order. Ensure there are no panics or stampedes. We have one night to do this! Take one step at a time!”
Pang Gang left with his officers.
Dong Xuebing assigned everyone their tasks. “I am saying this again! This is not an exercise! Please do your best!”
Everyone rushed out of the meeting hall.
Everyone in Guang Ming Subdistrict Office has a common will!
