Chapter 561: Press Conference [1]

Survivor of Miracles

"We Still Have Hope"

"The Night Will Eventually Welcome to the Sunshine"

God's Gift

......

Newspaper after newspaper reports about the "survivor" and many more "survivors" appeared, and it was definitely exciting news, these people were not completely dead, they were still struggling for help in the rubble, and the seriously injured survivor was interviewed by reporters.

Lying on a clean and warm bed in the hospital, he told reporters in his room and outside the window about his psychological journey after his death, and he thanked the Reich for its immediate response and search and rescue work, for God's mercy, for his wife and children, for all of them and everything that allowed him to survive the most desperate and terrifying period of his life.

The moment the tunnel collapsed, he fell to the ground, and all the light around him disappeared in that moment, and he struggled hard, but the falling steel bars and some stones broke his hands and feet, and crushed him underneath, unable to break free. There was always a lack of light all around him, he thought he would die there, he began to fear, he began to go crazy, but his family awakened his desire to live.

He ate some dirt in the process, which tasted bad, but he was able to endure hunger. When he is thirsty, he licks the cold, ice-covered "ice stones". During the time he persisted, what scared him the most was that his body temperature was constantly dropping, and he felt colder and colder, but fortunately there was no wind in the ruins, and he was wearing thicker clothes.

He slept twice on the way, but fortunately woke up again each time, and his emotional memories and two cries of bitterness drew tears from all the reporters and medical staff present.

He was a strong man, a man who fought for himself and his family!

The city of Otis not only waived all his medical expenses, but also made United Construction Engineering compensate him 2,000 yuan according to the standard of third-degree disability. And United Construction promised that after his fracture healed, he would continue to be hired to serve the company and give the management a salary. The worker also expressed his recognition of this compensation and appreciated the attitude of the joint construction workers.

Of course, in search and rescue work, it is not always such encouraging news, and the dead are constantly being found, but soon the newspapers will no longer pay attention to these news clues, and compared to the sad news, the injured who keep appearing and rescued are the news that should really be reported to the place. This is in line with all the moral support points that people love the news and pay for it.

Two days later, at a press conference at Otis City Hall, Scott, dressed in a new formal suit, stood on the podium, his face heavy and a white flower on his chest. He looked around at the reporters in the venue, clasped his hands together, "Let's mourn for all the victims for a minute, thank you!", he closed his eyes, and the reporters stood up and began to mourn those who died in the disaster.

In fact, whether it is the reporters present or some social people with a sense of justice and responsibility, they all know that the so-called memorial is the "opening ceremony" of this press conference, but everyone is very cooperative and pretended, maybe they took a minute to think about what to eat at noon, or which girlfriend to roll the sheets with at night, or some reporters to think about how to write a press release that can promote newspaper sales.

Anyway, everybody is like that.

Scott stood on the podium with a little emotion, two days ago Durin called him to invite him to become the secretary of the mayor of Otis City Hall, and at the same time a part-time press officer, he decided to quit his job on Illian's side without much thought, and resolutely came to Otis City in Hoston's earnest retention.

Doolin didn't give him a brilliant future, but told him that if he could do something satisfying, he could continue to work in Otis City as a spokesperson for his interests after he left.

This "spokesman for interests" does not seem to be a great name, not even a formal position, but Scott knows very well how much valuable "wealth" Doolin has left behind in this poor and white place. He needed a "dragon" to help him see what was going on here, and he might have had someone he approved before that, but from now on, he was the one.

He will be the "shadow mayor" of the city, and this feeling of power in his hands is far more than all the seemingly sweet lies, and the real benefits are so good that he doesn't even think about it for long.

A minute is a short time, it can be a long time, and the expression on Scott's face became more and more sad as he opened his eyes. In fact, he is very grateful to Horston now, and thanks to Horston for giving him these six years of working life, allowing him to accumulate incomparably rich social experience and acting skills.

"You may be seated...... First of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy work to attend this press conference, and all the reporters who attended the event can receive a gift at the end of the show, which are some local specialties. ”

"So let's officially start this press conference, first of all, I would like to explain to you, according to the unanimous reply given by the three well-known architectural design companies in the empire, as well as the accident report submitted by the United Construction Department, we can clearly find that the main responsibility for this accident comes from the data error of the United Construction Department. The engineer responsible for designing the frame tunnel ignored the weight of the blizzard and the construction machinery's lack of timely cleaning of the rockfall from the roof, which combined with many other reasons, led to the accident......"

"The city of Otis is a transparent city, we don't hide what happens like other cities, we put everything in the sun and everyone can look at it. ”

"According to the feedback from the search and rescue team so far, we have found a total of 221 bodies at the scene of the accident, and at the same time sent 466 injured workers to local and overseas hospitals for emergency treatment, and according to the payslips we have received, there are still about 300 workers trapped in the rubble. Our time is running out, but I believe that miracles will come to this land again, and God will bless us for His love for the world!"

"In terms of compensation, all injured or dead workers' compensation will be compensated according to the current five-level compensation system implemented by the empire, and the mayor of Otis City, Mr. Dulin, has made it clear that he will urge United Construction to pay compensation to all victims and injured, and if United Construction cannot come up with enough money to compensate, then the City Hall of Otis City Hall will advance funds to ensure that all affected families will not have other accidents due to this accident. ”

"I know that a lot of people are concerned about whether the east-west railway will continue to be built after such a big accident, and I would like to tell you on behalf of the City Hall of Otis and Mayor Mr. Doolin that yes, we will continue to build. We have the confidence and responsibility to overcome all the difficulties and solve the biggest problem facing the road traffic in Otis City. I also ask the general public, the citizens of the Empire, to understand and be considerate, and to continue to support our work......"

After a long list of speeches, Scott picked up his cup and took a sip of cold water, "It's question time, we have thirty minutes to ask questions, in principle, each reporter is only allowed to ask questions once, and I have the right not to answer some radical questions." ”

The reporters in the venue raised their hands, and the photographers and photographers next to them began to focus their lenses on the enthusiastic reporters. Scott casually ordered a blonde female reporter in the third row, not because he liked the female reporter's face, nor because her figure could make Scott tempted, but the key was that the female reporter was his own.

"Hello, Mr. Press Officer, I am a reporter from the United Press in the middle of the empire, and we know from the data you just said that the death toll in this accident is very large, so do you think this number will continue to increase?

Scott raised his hand and pressed the female reporter to sit down, he was a little pensive, and he frowned slightly, as if he was really thinking, "You asked two questions......", he smiled, "I'll just think of it as a question." ”

"I don't know if the death toll will continue to rise, but I believe God will have his plan. The only thing we can do is to speed up the search and rescue process and try to clear all the rubble by tomorrow night. I hope there will be more miracles again, and I'm sure everyone is feeling the same way. As for another question, the city hall of Otis and the mayor Mr. Dulin have already contacted the chairman of the board of directors of United Construction Works. ”

"United Construction said that they are a socially responsible, and strictly abide by the laws of the empire, they will draw no less than six million compensation to pay everyone's compensation, half of this money has been put into the official account of the city hall, the current official account settings are visible, you can go to the imperial central bank to inquire about related matters. ”

"As a guarantee, Mr. Mayor Doolin also wants me to convey to you that if the joint construction works are short of even a penny, Mr. Mayor will also take a stand and submit a bill to the Imperial Diet to demand the expulsion of all federal people who owe anything in morality and integrity!"
