Chapter 366: People are afraid of being famous

This disaster. The greatest credit is none other than Su Qiubai, but he refused a qiē reward, and at the same time, Anya and Guo Zong, who have been running around for the scourge of puppets, also refused the government's reward.

Guo Zong and his junior disciples were originally from the hidden sect in the deep mountains, and they were not greedy for worldly things, and this time they went down the mountain just to eliminate harm for the people. And they didn't want the information of their master to be exposed, so after the Jianghai incident was over, the seven of them only said goodbye to Su Qiubai, and then quietly left Jianghai, and the government's description of these seven people had to be changed to the seven masters of the rivers and lakes who did not want to be named.

Anya was not a person who cared about fame and fortune in the first place, not to mention that she was not short of money to spend, and she didn't want to be famous, so she directly refused the government's reward.

Not to mention Su Qiubai, he didn't do this for any reward, and he has always been too lazy to do any face-saving project in front of the public.

Seeing that these people were so indifferent to fame and fortune, Zhao Yi was a little embarrassed, so he said to Su Qiubai: "Brother Su, since you don't want rewards, then I don't want them either!" ā€

Su Qiubai smiled and said: "You are different from our situation, this reward is nothing more than some useless false name and money rewards for us, but you are a member of the army, this matter is related to your promotion and future career, if you refuse, then I will let you run this trip in vain, I will not be happy in my heart." ā€

Zhao Yi grabbed his hair and said, "It has always been my honor to help Brother Su do things, and I didn't come for any reward. ā€

Su Qiubai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I understand." But you can't be stupid, you just take your stuff, and you don't care what a few of us do. ā€

Zhao Yi nodded in agreement, thinking that his several promotion opportunities were given by Su Qiubai, his gratitude to Su Qiubai increased a little.

The blockade of Jianghai City has now been fully lifted, and those citizens who were dismissed have also returned one after another, but the people who died in this disaster will never come back.

Injured infected people are known to be secret. After all, they can't recover to normal, and it's a disaster to stay. However, this truth cannot be made public, and they can only be announced to the outside world, and they all died of their injuries.

There are many smart people among the citizens, and they can easily guess the truth of the matter, but no one will really say it, because the truth is too painful and helpless, and they can understand the government's distress.

When Mayor Ouyang Dong heard that Su Qiubai and others refused the government's award, he almost fell off his chair.

It was the first time he had seen this kind of person, and he didn't want a good opportunity to be famous and profitable, and it was in vain that he didn't want a piece of his heart.

But this reward has already been applied for from above, they don't want it, who will he give it to? You can't give it back, can you? What does that look like!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Dong patiently called his daughter and asked her to contact Su Qiubai and ask him what he meant.

Ouyang Mei hadn't had a chance to contact him again since she sent Su Qiubai to Li Weiqing last time, and later she went directly to the field for refuge, and when she heard her father suing her, she immediately laughed, because this was indeed very similar to Su Qiubai's style of doing things.

Despite this, his father's face could not be denied, and Ouyang Mei still called Su Qiubai.

"Xiaobai, don't you look down on the rewards given to you by the government, so don't you?" After the greetings, Ouyang Mei asked directly.

Su Qiubai couldn't help but laugh and said, "How dare you?" It's just that I'm not doing things for these rewards, and I don't want to be famous, so I'd better keep a low profile. ā€

Ouyang Mei nodded and said, "I know that you don't care about fame and fortune, but you can't help but give the government's face, right?" Even if you don't want to give it, for my sake, give my dad a little face. He deliberately applied for the award above, handed over a lot of information, and then applied for it, if you don't want it, his old man will die of sadness. ā€

Su Qiubai said with some embarrassment when he heard this: "But if you accept the reward, you will inevitably have to go through a lot of twists and turns, I am most afraid of trouble, if you can save these procedures, then the reward should not be in vain." ā€

Ouyang Mei suddenly laughed when she heard this, this guy really dares to say that a person like him who has made great contributions will definitely be rewarded not lightly, and this reward cannot be given to him in vain, it is indispensable to publicize it in major media, and then broadcast the award process live on TV, which is called spreading positive energy.

If the award is given to him directly without this process, then the award is really gray, because no one knows that the government has awarded him a prize.

Ouyang Mei knew that Su Qiubai was a stubborn person, and it was useless to force him to do what he didn't want to do. "Looks like we're going to have to find a compromise."

In the end, Ouyang Mei came up with a solution that would exempt Su Qiubai from a substantial reward, and then build a statue for him in the square in the center of the city to commemorate this great hero who saved the city.

When Su Qiubai heard her mention yƬ at first, he immediately retorted back, he wanted to keep a low profile, so it would be better to erect his statue directly on the square, and now there is no one in the whole Jianghai who doesn't know him.

Ouyang Mei knew that he would refuse, so she smiled and said, "Don't you think this is the best of both worlds?" You don't have to do those troublesome things, you don't have to accept rewards that you don't want, and the government doesn't do nothing, it's also an account for the citizens, so why not? ā€

Su Qiubai thought about it, although this went against his always low-key nature, it sounded very fresh. He Su Qiubai also had a statue one day, which was also an honor.

"Okay, Sister Mei, just do what you want." Su Qiubai finally compromised.

After everything here was finalized, Zhao Yi hurried back to the Wei Naval District. Su Qiubai and Anya finally returned to the villa, during the time they were dealing with the puppets, they never returned here, and the girls hid at home in fear every day, worried that a puppet would break in, and worried that Su Qiubai and Anya would have any accidents, and finally survived this period of life.

"Little White Brother, you can be regarded as back!" After Su Qiubai returned home, Ruan Yu was the first to pounce.

Several other people also came around, and Zhou Xin asked with concern: "We have always paid attention to the previous news, what you are doing is too dangerous, although we are worried about you, we don't dare to call to disturb you, we can only stay at home every day and wait for news, but I am worried about death." ā€

Su Qiubai said apologetically: "I was so busy during that time that I didn't have a chance to come back, and I didn't care about making phone calls, which made you worry." But now that everything is over, we can return to our old lives. ā€

Zhou Xin nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to pass, you two have finally come back safely." ā€

While others were sighing about the reunion after a long absence, Ruan Yu excitedly shouted: "It's finally okay, I've been suffocating at home for the past few months, and I feel like I'm about to grow hair!" Shall we find a time to go out and have some fun? ā€

Everyone was amused by her words, although it was very inappropriate, but the mood that had been gloomy for so long really needed to be adjusted.

A few days later, the death toll of the disaster in Jianghai City was finally counted, and there were more than 8,600 people registered, while the unregistered floating population and black households could only be estimated because they could not be counted, and in proportion, there were hundreds of people. The death toll of nearly 10,000 people shocked the entire Huaxia country, and this kind of serious disaster has not happened for more than ten years.

Su Qiubai's statue soon stood in the center of Longxia Square in the center of the city, and along with the statue stood a huge stone tablet with the names of the victims, as a way to remember the poor people who died innocently in this disaster.

The statue is about four meters high, it is carved according to the appearance and proportion of Su Qiubai himself, when the carver was sampled, Su Qiubai went directly in a casual suit, which made Ouyang Mei, who went with him, laugh loudly, and asked him to change into formal clothes, but Su Qiubai insisted on refusing, because he was dressed like this on weekdays, and if he changed into formal clothes, it would not look like him. Besides, those who wear formal clothes and dance swords and swords don't look good.

So much so that the final carved Su Qiubai was wearing casual clothes, holding the Xuanyuan sword on his shoulder, looking like he was in a good mood, and the angry Ouyang Dong was depressed again, such a statue of a hanger Langdang stood on the square in the center of the city, and people who didn't know thought they were playing performance art!

But since this is Su Qiubai's own will, he didn't refute anything, after all, Su Qiubai is the benefactor of the entire Jianghai City, so whatever he says is what it is!

After the statue was erected, Su Qiubai was curious to rush to Longxia Square as soon as possible, but saw that the entire square was already full of people. Some of them came to pay homage to Su Qiubai's honor, and some came to pay tribute to the victims. The stone monument engraved with the name of the deceased is surrounded by flowers, which convey the grief of the citizens.

Su Qiubai finally squeezed in front of the statue, and when he looked up, he was quite satisfied with it. Because the carver invited is a master connoisseur, the carved works even imitate the demeanor vividly, and it is the appearance of Su Qiubai himself!

But because the statue was so similar, Su Qiubai was quickly recognized by the people around him, and I don't know who shouted: "Su Qiubai is here, everyone, look!" ā€

Su Qiubai was shocked when he heard this, could it be that there was still his enemy here? In this bustling crowd, it is really inconvenient for him to do it, and it is not good in case he hurts innocent people.

But as soon as his thoughts came out, he felt that his body was light, and he was actually lifted up by a few people around him.

Because he noticed that these people were not aggressive, Su Qiubai didn't rush to make a move, but just let those people lift and throw them in confusion, and after churning in the crowd for a long time, he heard what people were shouting: "The savior of the river and the sea!" Banzai! ā€

It turned out to be for this!
