Chapter 72 2/2

In fact, she wasn’t the only one who thought this way.

As more and more people paid attention to the floods in Lucheng and the well-organized rescue efforts, more and more on-site images appeared on the internet.

People, while worrying about the floods, were also amazed to find that there were so many rescue tools in this rescue effort that were not there before.

The scene with the helicopters needs no explanation; disasters have occurred before, but the sight of thirteen helicopters flying in the sky is truly massive.

There’s also the use of drones for rescue operations. As the frontline networks gradually recovered, someone uploaded a photo they had taken.

The photographer used a camera, usually sharing their photos on public platforms with little attention. However, this particular photo gained widespread recognition. Within just two hours of being posted, it was picked up by several media outlets.

The image was simply incredible.

The murky floodwaters, mingled with collapsed buildings, submerged vehicles, and trees, looked terrifying from a distance. Dozens of rescue boats sailed in the center, and amidst the vast water ruins from all directions, the small rescue personnel on the boats appeared exceptionally tiny and powerless.

Despite the daunting yellowish floodwaters, they remained fearless.

Above them, countless drones covered the sky, acting as the most robust guardians.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that anyone who saw this photo was deeply moved.

Especially in one corner of the photo, you could see a damaged-wing drone descending heavily without its wings while a new drone was rising behind it.

It was too shocking!

Too emotionally touching!

This photo could be considered the trump card among all photos.

If discussions about #ShengquanDrones were only maintained by some netizens to keep the topic alive, this photo changed everything. It was immediately picked up by major media outlets, and even those who rarely used Weibo could see this significant drone rescue operation.

Most of the people interested were middle-aged individuals with their own children. They usually stay away from trendy social apps, but upon seeing this photo, they couldn’t contain their excitement. They were eager to know what had happened in this disaster.

And then they learned about the thirteen helicopters and five hundred drones.

They learned about the thirty vehicles transporting supplies and the suspension of the film crew’s shooting, with almost all members participating in flood relief efforts.

As they searched further, they discovered Shengquan’s investment in student research, claiming they were “creating the future,” and a one billion donation to “Singing for Charity,” proving that entertainment could be combined with charity.

Now, she had truly achieved this. When the flood occurred around the film crew’s shooting location, she led the entire crew to dedicate themselves to flood relief efforts.

For someone who had done so much, she was only in her twenties.

Countless families echoed the same sentiment:

“Look at Shengquan; see how socially responsible she is. People of her age can contribute to society. Look at you, eating and sleeping all day. Look at this news about her leading the entire crew in disaster relief; learn something from her.”

Innocent children being scolded retorted, “Parents, wake up! Who should I take to participate in relief efforts? Our two cats?”

“Let me learn from her spirit! You always buy movie tickets, right? Show me when this movie will be released. I want to watch it with you. This spirit must be supported.”

Suddenly, their children realized and exclaimed, “Wait a minute? Shengquan? Crew disaster relief? Where’s my phone? It must be trending. Let me check… Oh my God! Five hundred drones! So many helicopters! Thirty rescue vehicles fully prepared… Oh… Dad, don’t hit me, I won’t say it. I won’t say ‘Oh my God’ anymore…”

Driven by the media, #ShengquanHardcoreRelief not only remained limited to the younger generation but also spread to the middle-aged and elderly, who mainly focused on social news.

Newspapers, the built-in news apps, TV reports—though they didn’t use Weibo or video apps, in terms of influence, these middle-aged and elderly people who usually only watched TV or used Feixin were definitely not weak.

And what Shengquan did, one by one, perfectly resonated with them.

Moreover, being young made them admire her even more.

While the younger generation was still saying “Wow, amazing, 666,” the elders had already expressed their opinions through various channels.

But no matter the situation, everyone genuinely showed their support through practical actions. Even if they couldn’t donate money for disaster relief, they had ways to support Shengquan.

Some planned to watch the movie when it premiered.

More people started inquiring if Shengquan had other physical companies under her name. After searching, they found that the largest one she owned was Xingmang Entertainment.

As a result, TV dramas produced by Xingmang Entertainment became a hit.

Albums released by artists under Xingmang Entertainment were bought.

Artists under Xingmang Entertainment gained more followers.

Especially for the ongoing “War of the Stars,” some poor students even came up with a brilliant way to support it:

“Starting today, I’ll save fifty cents a day. The ticket price for a movie is around a few dozen yuan. As long as I persist, I can save enough in about three months! A movie ticket may not prove much, but I’m willing to keep saving to support Shengquan!”

Mainly because what Shengquan did was truly remarkable!

Especially now, some people on the internet are already calculating how much money she spent on these supplies. Even without calculating, everyone could guess it was a staggering amount.

How could this not shake their hearts? They wanted to express their support, whether rich or not.

In any case, everyone wanted to contribute a bit to let Shengquan receive recognition and to show her that everyone supported her.

Shengquan did indeed see this.

She was incredibly busy, too occupied to go online. At this moment, she was calculating her little treasury, and while she was doing that, she received a call from her assistant in the magic city.

Sheng Dong was utterly dumbfounded by the news. “What did you say? Are you sure?”

Assistant: “It’s true. I also found it quite unbelievable.”

“Your snail noodle factory under your name did indeed sell out completely within two hours.”

“Not a single bag left.”
