Chapter 1: The heat is scorching
A ribbon connecting the five continents
Leave a series of arduous footprints
Ups and downs of time
It has accumulated years
One by one, they are working hard
Monuments of deeds
It is engraved with vivid Chinese business cards
*************************************************
In the height of summer in July, the entire Northern Hemisphere is swept by a heatwave.
A terminal in tropical Southeast Asia presents a huge construction site. This is the construction of Cruella Port undertaken by China Danhai Hongsheng Infrastructure Corporation, and it is also the largest project undertaken by Hongsheng Infrastructure Construction Group in many years. The construction of the port was a complex project that incorporated new types of work in addition to the traditional civil and steel structures. As far as the eye can see, the steel pipes of the shelves are as dense as bamboo forests, and those tower cranes several feet high are densely packed. However, this hot project was swept away by a sudden heat wave.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still like fire, and the earth was like a steamer, so hot that people couldn't breathe. This is especially true at the construction site of this quay, where there is no shade. The scorching sunlight reflects off the metal and concrete everywhere, and it's like a big oven that steam up your spine if you stand in the open for a minute.
A silver-gray sedan slowly drove into the rest area of the construction site. It is surrounded by three-story movable slab buildings on three sides, but in the courtyard, the heat is still unbearable. The huge courtyard has no trace of any life.
The door of the sedan opened, and a middle-aged man in an azure half-sleeved shirt stepped out of it. He wears a pair of short-sighted glasses, is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and has a pair of bright eyes through the thin spectacle lenses. He didn't look very old, at best he was middle-aged, but he was already full of gray hair. At first glance, he is a capable man who has been weathered for a long time, and his innate temperament is impressive.
He stood in the silent courtyard, looked up at the slabs on the left, front, and right, and then looked down at the watch he was wearing on his wrist, frowning slightly.
He is Shen Jinghao, the Chinese project manager of this major project.
At this time, a middle-aged man also walked out of the cab. He was wearing a half-sleeved shirt of different colors, but compared to Shen Jinghao's temperament, he could only be regarded as a follow-up driver.
As soon as the driver got out of the car, he experienced the rolling heat outside the car, and while wiping his face, he persuaded Shen Jinghao: "Mr. Shen, come into the house, it can be hot outside!" ”
Shen Jinghao not only didn't listen to him, but also turned around and took out two things from the carriage. First, a white hard hat; Second, a whistle with a red silk rope attached.
The driver was stunned: "Mr. Shen, you?" ”
Shen Jinghao put the helmet on his head upright, and then hung the red silk rope around his neck, ignoring the driver's questioning, but put the whistle in his mouth, and a crisp horn broke the silence here.
This was a rallying cry, which made the movable slabs on three sides boil instantly, the doors of the three floors were opened, and a group of yellow-skinned and black-haired men poured out one after another, quickly filling the aisles of the slabs on each floor.
Shen Jinghao looked at them silently, and his serious eyes revealed a trace of solemnity.
A man in his thirties with glasses standing in the hallway on the second floor stood out among these men: "Mr. Shen is back?" ”
Shen Jinghao's deep eyes immediately locked on him: "Chen Gong, it's already working time, why don't you go to work yet?" ”
The man with glasses was the person in charge here, and quickly explained: "At present, the high temperature is coming here, and the local government has issued a second-level high temperature alert, and all outdoor operations have been canceled, so we..."
Shen Jinghao immediately interrupted: "Didn't I do my homework when I confessed my mistakes?" ”
The man with glasses showed a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Shen, please feel it on the spot, although it is now four o'clock in the afternoon, the high temperature has not eased much." ”
Another man in his fifties echoed: "Now many brothers are covered with eczema, and they are not used to the hot and humid climate here. If the construction is forced to be carried out at high temperatures, I am afraid that there will be problems. ”
Shen Jinghao disagreed: "We not only have a medical team, but also equipped with Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, can't we cope with the high temperature environment?" ”
The scene was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Jinghao.
At this time, Shen Jinghao's half-sleeved shirt had turned into a wet dark blue, and beads of sweat rolled down the white hard hat to his cheeks, and finally fell to the ground, instantly evaporating without a trace on the hot cement floor.
The driver was very uncomfortable, since he got out of the car, it would be embarrassing to want to go back to the car to escape the heat, so he had to accompany Shen Jinghao to endure it.
Shen Jinghao didn't seem to be afraid of the high temperature, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Brothers, if we are far away from our motherland and come to work in this hot and humid country, we should be mentally prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties. Our project is very arduous, the construction period is very tight, and we are not afraid of hardship, high temperature, and injury. Even if we face great construction difficulties, we have to rise to the occasion. Because the sweat we have spilled here is not only for ourselves or for the duration of this project, but more importantly, we represent China! ”
His voice was sonorous and powerful, and as soon as he spoke of this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the five-star red flag hanging high on the flagpole erected in the courtyard.
Driven by him, everyone's eyes glanced at the national flag. Although it is a red line in such an environment, it is still eye-catching.
Shen Jinghao's voice became excited: "Brothers, no matter who you are, no matter what your name is, as long as you go abroad, your words and deeds, and every move do not represent yourself." Because you have only one resounding name in common - Chinese! ”
Everyone at the scene was extremely moved by these words.
The man with glasses was also excited, and he was the first to respond: "Brothers, what Mr. Shen said is right!" Local workers can take a break from work, but we can't. I announce – start now! ”
Wow –
These Chinese construction workers were all enthusiastic, and they came out of the cool dormitories under the air conditioner and bravely ran to the battlefield where they belonged.
The excavators, large forklifts, and various types of material dump trucks all turned their wheels and lined up in columns, like a heavy armored unit, marching to the front line.
The tall cranes on the construction site swayed their steel arms in the breeze, and some yellow hard hats shone in the scorching sun. The construction workers under the hard hats are shuttling between various machines in this oven environment. The construction site, which had been silent before, boiled in an instant. The rumbling of various motors is endless. In this arduous battle, various light and heavy weapons were fired together.
Shen Jinghao also followed everyone to the construction site, witnessing this scene, tears of excitement soaked his eyes, and he had to take off his glasses to wipe them.
The driver also followed, shaking a paper fan constantly, while frowning and persuading his leader: "Mr. Shen, go back quickly, beware of heat stroke." ”
Shen Jinghao glanced at him fiercely: "At present, the brothers are all playing with their lives, how can I have a reason to dodge?" Aren't they afraid of heat stroke? ”
The driver was speechless.
Shen Jinghao did not choose to supervise, but used the whistle hanging around his neck to personally direct the construction of an excavator.
The scorching sun could not withstand the scrutiny of time, and finally fell into the western mountain. All kinds of lights were lit one after another, the fighting spirit of the workers was undiminished, and the roar of machinery was endless.
Two months later, a flight from China's Danhai Airport slowly landed -
The heat is fading away, but it's still hot, and the feet of the passengers who step down the spiral stairs of the airliner hit the ground.
Among the passengers there is a team, consisting of four men and two women. They are Danhai TV staff and reporters who form an overseas reporting group. The femininity of the leader is not bad. She is Zhang Yin, a famous reporter from Danhai TV.
Zhang Yin, who is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve, is not only a well-known public figure in Danhai City, but also famous in the province and even the whole country, and the following fans are enough to form a group army. This time, she personally led the report to Southeast Asia, which is enough to show that the domestic media attach great importance to the content of the report.
The woman who was with Zhang Yin was a young follower. She is only 21 years old this year, and she is still an intern journalist, named Shen Linxi. As soon as she stepped out of the passenger plane, she was full of yearning for this strange world, because there was her father, who she hadn't seen for more than a year, and he was Shen Jinghao, the manager of the Cruella Port engineering project.
