Chapter 71 2/2

The tall man, holding an umbrella for her in the drizzle, softened his usually deep black eyes and said softly, “You can save more people.”

Although the specific numbers hadn’t been counted yet, Sheng Quan had indeed saved many people. She hadn’t rested since being woken up in the morning, continuously arranging various rescue affairs.

She had average physical strength, no rescue experience, and had never experienced a flood.

But almost every moment, someone was able to catch their breath because of the decisions she made.

Jiang Lu naturally wanted to personally participate in the rescue efforts. Even though he had retired, he still considered himself a soldier.

Sheng Quan once joked that Jiang Lu was the standard image of a soldier in the hearts of the Chinese people. Just standing there gave people a sense of security.

At this moment, the man who could provide a sense of security didn’t deny that he wanted to join the rescue personally. However, he had already made a choice. This quiet and stable person, who usually wouldn’t say much, looked at Sheng Quan with a serious promise.

“I want to be by your side to protect you.”

Damn, why was he so sentimental?

Sheng Quan thought Indeed, a person who didn’t talk much usually spoke differently when saying nice things.

But she just sighed for a moment and immediately shifted her focus back to the continuous purchase of supplies.

The flood disaster was still expanding. While helicopters and drones guaranteed rapid rescue, Sheng Quan still wanted to help as much as possible on the logistical side.

Of course, Sheng Quan’s assistance might be a bit different from what others understood.

Regarding the logistical support for the military units that came for rescue, perhaps everyone, including the soldiers on the front line, thought that having a tent and a bed with a blanket was enough.

But Sheng Quan, in addition to tents, blankets, and thick clothing, also wanted to buy folding beds.

Why not allocate the limited funds to more important supplies?

because she has money.

Not only can she allocate funds to other essential items, but she can also free up a lot of money for other purposes.

Sheng Quan started making phone calls again, spending heaps of money and gaining deep satisfaction in return.

It was precisely because she had seen those relief soldiers rushing to the front lines, exhausted and sleeping in their clothes, that she wanted to do something more.

Do folding beds cost money? Buy them!

Rescue personnel can only eat cold food in cold and powerless conditions. Buy firewood! Buy pots! Hire a cook! No, you can’t buy a cook, so hire one!

Difficulties in transporting supplies Solve it with money.

Is heavy equipment hard to get to the front lines? Solve it with money.

Rescue personnel can’t spare hands for miscellaneous tasks. Sheng Quan will hire people to do it herself.

The fact is, with money, you can really solve ninety percent of the problems.

It’s been a while since I marveled at that phrase; let’s marvel at it again today.

Being rich is really good.

Sheng Quan’s contribution to disaster relief is huge. After a brief meeting with the leadership team to discuss it, they handed everything over to her.

And then Sheng Quan started spending money like crazy.

Although she had been spending money all along, she had never felt so thrilled to spend money like she did now.

Thinking that every penny she spent was saving lives made her happy.

006 didn’t stop her, but seeing the host so happy, it also joined in shouting 666.

If it weren’t for the fact that the lottery hadn’t come out yet, it would have given Sheng Quan a dozen more helicopters.

Xu’s eyes were tired, his body exhausted, but his spirit was high, and his steps were floating. He shivered from the cold.

Sometimes, feeling like he couldn’t hold on, he would look up to see the helicopters. It didn’t have any other meaning; mainly, he just liked it. Looking at them could boost his morale.

Although it was very cold, he was still very happy.

He had saved lives today.

Just as he had just stepped down, the veteran, who was a step later than him, raised his blistered and wrinkled hands and patted his arm. “Let’s go; take a rest.”

It was the first time Xu had participated in disaster relief. Looking around, he suggested, “Let’s go ahead and rest.”

The veteran moved his stiff neck. “Find a place to lie down casually.”

Xu He: “Ah?”

The veteran explained with experience, “We just came today. Everyone is busy with rescue in this emergency. Where can we find a place to stay? We can’t expect a pile of tents and beds to magically appear in such a short time, right? It’s difficult to clear space.”

Xu blinked in confusion and pointed to the right. “But there… there’s a pile of tents and beds.”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t see anything before. Do you think it’s a TV drama? A wave of the hand, and supplies fall from the sky? What are you thinking?”

The veteran lifted his eyes and saw the massive tent area. His words trailed off.

There really is…

No, there wasn’t a moment ago.

Where did they come from?

Xu He: “Supplies falling from… the sky?”

The veteran: “…”

The two men looked at each other and slowly raised their heads.

looking at the sky.
