Chapter 124, for whom to commemorate
Today is already the 20th, and the three companies receive those "benefactors" basically on the 25th and 26th, and they and Wang Zilan have to attend the event, how can they miss such a good publicity opportunity?
"When the earthquake anniversary is over, I will arrange the company's affairs, and when the time comes, the two of us will go to Xi'an and Hangzhou, and it is more reassuring to look at this thing, especially for those of you who know how to do it. Chen Shu said.
"Listen to you, I don't have a lot of things to do anyway. I also heard that your cool bed has been renovated, so I asked us to help with the transformation, after all, the electricity cost saved this year is not a small number!"
"How do I feel fooled, this thing is the design concept I proposed, I knew that applying for a patent set a technical threshold, as long as you use it, you have to pay me some patent fees. It's over, it's over, it's over, it's a big loss, how do I feel as if I've lost hundreds of millions, it's painful! No, it's distressing! Oops!" Chen Shu is not in shape, and he is still joking with Yang Baoxing.
When the company arranged for the office to buy air tickets and train tickets, it specifically instructed that the other party must coordinate whether the other party has an accompanying person. After all, thirty years have passed, and the young guys and girls have all become old people in their sixties, and it is inevitable that there will be inconveniences in their movements.
The total number of elderly people who need to be received by the three companies is 16, and the number of accompanying people is 24, which is not very large. However, for convenience, the company rented a minibus on the 25th, because the number of receptionists was relatively large, and the 24th and 26th were the company's Audi and Accord responsible for the pick-up.
Chen Shu and Wang Zilan have been notified that the provincial leaders will lay flower baskets at the Earthquake Memorial Square on the morning of the 28th, and the leaders of various departments in Tangshan City, as well as business circles and volunteer service groups, will accompany them.
The activities that were originally planned to receive the central leaders were postponed due to temporary changes, and all the personnel gathered in the earthquake square in the morning to lay flower baskets! Chen Shu changed into a white shirt and black trousers, fastened his tie at the same time, and put the prepared business card into his small business card holder. As a business is like this, no one can guarantee when it will be used.
Wang Zilan changed into a dark gray suit, black stockings and black high heels, after all, it was a heavy occasion, not suitable for too bright colors. According to the time required by the notice, the two arrived at the government auditorium at half past seven, and at this time people from all walks of life had already arrived here.
However, apart from a few people from the Government Volunteer Liaison Office, as well as a few people in charge of industry and commerce and taxation, it is true that there are few people who know each other. Chen Shu sighed a little in his heart, there are so many steel bosses, but few people can participate in this kind of activity, it seems that the road to public welfare has a long way to go.
At eight o'clock, it was also the rush hour for work, and Chen Shu and Wang Zilan got into government cars and drove to the earthquake square. From the blackened window, Chen Shu saw that the road outside had been under martial guard, and the officers and soldiers of the armed police had lined up at the entrance on the north side of the square.
The vehicles were parked in turn, leaders at all levels and social representatives walked out of the car, at this time the military music had been played, and the organizers arranged the position of getting off the car to offer flower baskets when everyone got on the car, and Chen Shu and Wang Zilan stood in the middle and rear positions. The two also noticed that almost all of them were actually involved in volunteer activities in this position, and they also met an acquaintance, Zhang Qiang!
However, when Chen Shu saw the people who were outside the armed police cordon, he felt very uncomfortable, Wang Zilan also saw Chen Shu's slightly frowning brows, touched him slightly, and silently followed the crowd towards the monument!
After laying the flower basket, there was a collective silence for 30 seconds to mourn the relatives, friends, villagers and elders who were lost in this disaster. Through their own efforts, the people of Tangshan have rebuilt their beautiful homes on top of this ruin, and both industry and science and technology have bloomed to attract the attention of the world.
At the end of the event, everyone got on the bus and went to Yanshan Theater to hold the "Tangshan Earthquake 30th Anniversary Conference" here. The main body of the meeting is divided into three parts: mourning the compatriots who died, summarizing the construction experience, and looking forward to a better future.
At the end of the meeting, the provincial leaders shook hands with everyone in turn to say goodbye, the government had a simple hospitality meal, Chen Shu and Zhang Qiang did not go out, and no one was sure if there were other arrangements in the future. However, a few people were really glad that they had made the decision, and all the delegates who did not leave would go to the Monument Square again in the afternoon to accompany the central leaders to lay flower baskets.
No matter how many turns the head of the statement can take, I didn't expect to do the same thing twice a day, and it was all for the purpose of receiving the superior leader. However, the follow-up arrangements did not tell them about these people, perhaps for safety reasons!
But Chen Shu thinks Hebei Polytechnic University will definitely go, as it retains the site of the earthquake closest to the city center, and is visited by almost every time a state leader comes to Tangshan.
The same move, the same military music, the same silent mourning, it is indeed a different mood, the surroundings of Dazhao Park are under martial law again, looking at the people around him, Chen Shu really can't tell what it feels like. Fortunately, after laying the flower basket in the afternoon, I accompanied Secretary Hu to visit the earthquake site of Hebei University of Technology, and the last thing was to go to the rehabilitation village.
Chen Shu had heard of this special village before, and it was basically full of compatriots who were disabled in that disaster, and this was the first time that Chen Shu faced so many disabled elderly people. It was shock, and it was also touched by Chen Shu's sympathy, and it seemed that he really wanted to do something for these people.
Although Wang Zilan didn't know what her parents went through back then, she knew very well that they didn't want to mention the past. At this time, seeing these old people in front of me, my heart began to tremble inexplicably, how lucky I must have been to survive that disaster!
The activities in the next few days had nothing to do with Chen Shu and them, Zhang Qiang refused the invitation of Chen Shu and his family, and drove back to Leting, and Chen Shu drove Wang Zilan back to Kaiping. The nanny at home finally agreed to Chen Shu's request and followed them to Kaiping.
When she saw Chen Shu's new house, she was very surprised, and she was much more relaxed when she thought of the housing prices here, but Chen Shu told her that the house didn't need to be cleaned every day, just make the house too big and get it slowly. The old lady is also very pleased to find such an owner, and it is comfortable to work here, and the children at home are also relieved.
"Today in the square, I feel that your emotions are not quite right, what happened?" Wang Zilan sat in the co-pilot, remembering what happened in the morning.
"Who do you think the earthquake anniversary is commemorating and who are the people who really feel this kind of feeling?" Chen Shu's question was very simple, and of course it was very clear.
"It must be those who experienced that disaster, as well as those who lost their loved ones!" Wang Zilan thought of what kind of torment her parents went through every year today, and she couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of her parents! When she was a child, she didn't know what her mother asked at this time, and she would shed tears at this time, for fear that she would secretly erase it when she saw it.
When I woke up at night, I found that my parents didn't sleep, just sitting silently, neither of them spoke, and I will never forget that painful night. The existence of Wang Zhensheng and Wang Zilan can only allow the two of them to cover up the pain and divert their attention, but this day of the year seems to tear the scars apart again.
When she said it, Wang Zilan also understood why Chen Shu had emotions, and also realized what kind of mood those people outside the cordon were like.
