He didn't reply to her text message, maybe because the signal was bad, maybe because he was too busy. According to the news, many rescue workers are overloaded and fighting on the front line. On the screen, there are many rescue troops sleeping on the road in their clothes, and doctors and nurses are operating at full capacity. Maybe he was too tired, busy with surgery, busy with rescue, and had very little time to rest... She waited until midnight, and finally fell asleep on the sofa with her mobile phone.

As soon as she went to work the next morning, the big boss asked her to find her: "Yutian Real Estate will call and call you by name."

She was startled slightly.

The boss urged: "Yutian Real Estate is our most important customer. Please go over immediately and don’t neglect it."

"Yes."

You have to cross the river to get to the office building of Yutian Real Estate. It took almost an hour on the road to reach the skyscraper underneath. Going up the elevator, the front desk confirmed the appointment and called to inform: "Secretary Shan, Miss Du from Boyuan has arrived." The other party seemed to say something, and the front desk put down the phone and told her, "Ms. Du, you can go up. Go to the building."

Unexpectedly, the magnificence is magnificent, even the floor-to-ceiling windows of the aisle are facing the river beach, and the view is unobstructed. Looking down from such a high level, the river water has become thin and white, and the century-old luxury buildings on the riverside are as far away as miniature bonsais. The sun is clear, and the whole city is like a world of gold powder, full of the prosperity of the peak of the world. And she didn't care about the scenery at all, and only followed the lead secretary into the reception room.

Secretary Shan looks very polite: "Miss Du, please sit down for a while, Mr. Lei will come over later."

Although she had made enough mental preparations, when she saw Lei Yuzheng again, she still got up from the sofa a little cramped.

The heavy oak door closed behind him, and she looked at him this way for the first time, only to realize that he was a bit like Shao Zhenrong. The only thing that is different is the gaze. Shao Zhenrong’s gaze is always like a lake, gentle and deep, but his gaze is like the sea, giving people a kind of unpredictable and unpredictable.

She took a deep breath, as if she knew what to face.

"Miss Du, please sit down."

He seemed to be very polite, but she waited for him to sit down and then sat down on the sofa very cautiously.

He seems to be more relaxed, and he seems to be completely two people with the aggressiveness that night, with a gentle atmosphere similar to Shao Zhenrong, appearing gentle and gentle: "Miss Du, I wanted to ask you to talk outside. But considering that it will be more private and safe, I don’t think you want to be known about our meeting."

She just listened very quietly.

"Obviously I underestimated your weight in Zhenrong's heart. For the first time in so many years, I saw him so depressed. I don't intend to let my parents know about this. Obviously, Miss Du, you are more reluctant to make trouble. Great. So I want to have a good talk with you while Zhenrong is away."

"Mr. Lei..."

He interrupted her: "Ms. Du is a smart person. You should know that although our family is enlightened, the only requirement of my parents for their children’s marriage partner is that they are innocent. I don’t want my family to be a laughingstock, let alone. Let Zhenrong suffer any harm. So I think the best way to deal with this matter is still the advice I gave you-leave Zhenrong."

She said with difficulty: "I—"

"How about studying abroad, Miss Du? Which school are you interested in? Wellesley, MountHolyoke, or Columbia University?"

"Mr. Lei..."

"Miss Du, I have limited patience." He crossed his fingers and looked a little careless. "The Boyuan you are currently working for is a so-called architectural design company. And my ability to influence this industry may be far Exceed your expectations. If I remember well, my son can retreat to the second line in two years, and Lingtang can retire in only a few years. Then they can enjoy their old age at home..."

She stood up unconsciously and clenched her fingers: "Mr. Lei, if Zhenrong knows everything and he wants to leave me, I won’t say a word. Because I did something wrong, he won’t forgive me. I should. But if Zhenrong intends to forgive me, I will not give up when I die, because I really love him."

Lei Yuzheng leaned on the sofa and seemed to laugh very relaxedly. Only then did Du Xiaosu discover that when he laughed, there were also faint dimples on his left cheek, but it was shallower than Shao Zhenrong's because he laughed very shallowly, if not. His smile is always like a gust of wind on the sea, and he disappears for a moment, making people suspicious. He asked with a smile, "Miss Du, do you really feel ashamed?"

"I am not ashamed. Mr. Lei, you have almost everything in this world, rights, status, money... As you said, there are very few things you can't do in this world. But you are threatening me I don’t feel ashamed at that time, why should I feel ashamed? Yes, I was confused for a while, I regretted it afterwards, and I left. Why do you think that I am an indulgent woman? I did something wrong, and I did not intend to forgive myself. , But if Zhenrong forgive me, I will do my best and continue to love him. I regret that I didn’t confess to him. I really regret it, even if he doesn’t intend to forgive me. It’s a pity that I will be immersed in a pig cage if I lose my virginity. The era of sacredness is over, Mr. Lei, when it comes to chastity, I feel that you have no position to accuse me. You and your family can demand that I be flawless, and your future wife? Is she qualified to also ask you to defend yourself like jade, Didn’t have any relationship with the opposite **** before marriage? So you have no right to accuse me. The only one who has the right to accuse me is Zhenrong. The matter between us was before I met Zhenrong, and Zhenrong also frankly told me, He used to have a cohabiting girlfriend in a foreign country, but later she broke up with her personality. To this day, the education I have received and the knowledge I have received make me feel that men and women are equal in this matter. And after getting to know Zhenrong , I have never done anything to sorry him. I treat him wholeheartedly, so I don’t think there is anything to be ashamed of."

He squinted his eyes and seemed to be looking at her. Finally, he said: "Miss Du, you have no sincerity to solve this matter?"

"If you think I am not worthy of Zhenrong, you can directly ask Zhenrong to leave me instead of threatening me with my family here."

He nodded approvingly: "Courage is commendable!"

And she stood there like an arrow, straight and straight, her eyes were also straight, looking at him. He suddenly "chuckled" and laughed: "In fact, I really want to know, if Zhenrong comes back and clearly breaks up with you, what will you look like."

"That is between me and him. As long as he makes a choice, I will accept it. Maybe I will be miserable, maybe I will be depressed for a while, maybe I will never fall in love with others in this life, but I I loved him, maybe it will take a long time to love, and I can’t stop. But I am very happy because I know what love is. And you, Mr. Lei, you have never experienced it, let alone understand it."

She showed the first smile in a few days: "This is the fifty-fifth floor, standing on such a high place, Mr. Lei, I always thought that your vision would be broader than others." She leaned back." Goodbye."

She realized that her cheeks were hot after entering the elevator, as if she was feverish. She touched her face, and she didn't expect to say such a long story in one breath, but when she thought of Zhenrong and he said to let her wait, she felt that nothing was scary, and there was nothing to be afraid of, because he said let She waits, she must wait until he comes back.

When the phone rang, I thought it was a misheard. I was afraid that it was Shao Zhenrong. He quickly turned it out from his bag, and it turned out to be Lao Mo. Lao Mo still had the big voice, and asked, "Du Xiaosu, are you going to the disaster area?"

One sentence stunned her, and the old Mo wowahahah yelled: "Insufficient manpower, all the newspapers went to the disaster area except for those on duty. However, there are several disaster-hit towns that have not yet had reporters in. The front page reports are really following. No, Lao Li jumped in Beichuan and He Ming was trapped in Qingchuan again. In-depth report! I want to report in depth! A rescue charter plane passed in the afternoon, and I had already found someone to get a seat, and the newspaper really couldn’t find anyone. , Do you want to go? If you want to go, say it quickly, if not, I will find someone else."

"I'll go, I'll go!" Without thinking, she hurriedly answered, "Of course I want to go!"

Lao Mo said simply: "Then you should bring your own dry food and water, and don't cause trouble to the people in the disaster area."

"I know I know."

She hung up the phone and went straight to the company. She found the vice president in charge of the human resources department. She explained everything in one go, and said: "If the company approves my vacation, I will leave soon. If the company does not approve...I have to resign."

Anyway, Lei Yuzheng had already planned to make her unable to hang on in this business, and she did not miss it. If you can go to the disaster area, although you have no chance to meet Shao Zhenrong, you can breathe the same air under a sky with him. The important thing is to do something for the disaster area, even if she suffers.

The vice president seemed a little surprised: "Ms. Du, even if it is a normal resignation, you still need to report to the company three months in advance." However, the vice president smiled quickly, "Is it right? You go to the disaster area. Well, we can count your annual leave."

She was so grateful that she could not speak, so she had to say "Thank you" over and over again. The vice president also said: "Now aftershocks continue, you, a girl, must pay attention to safety."

She seems to just say thank you.

The immediate boss, Ning Weicheng, was also very supportive, and immediately arranged for a colleague to take over her work, and said readily, "You can rest assured, pay attention to safety."

She ran to buy a lot of food and medicine. If they can be taken with them, it will be good if they can be distributed to the victims. While busy, he took the time to call Zou Siqi and asked her to hide her parents from her parents. When I bought everything, I rushed to the airport with large and small bags. It was almost time to board the plane. Looking for the person arranged by Lao Mo, he got on the plane very smoothly.

The flight time was more than two hours, and there were professional health and epidemic prevention personnel on the plane. Everyone was very silent and almost no one talked. Du Xiaosu was a bit airsick, maybe because he was too nervous, he forced himself to close his eyes and rest.

I didn't dream, but fell asleep for a while, maybe ten minutes, maybe a few minutes, maybe just a few seconds. The weather was very bad. After entering the sky over Sichuan, I kept flying above the clouds. Later, when I reached the sky above Shuangliu Airport, I encountered air traffic control and had to circle for ten minutes. It was raining in Chengdu, but fortunately, the landing went smoothly.

After getting off the plane, Du Xiaosu turned on the phone, and the signal was normal. So she tried to call Shao Zhenrong, and his mobile phone was not in the service area, so she took advantage of the time of waiting for the luggage and sent him a text message. He didn't reply, he probably didn't receive it, or he was busy. So Du Xiaosu sent a text message to Lao Mo, reporting that he had arrived safely. There was noisy people in the waiting hall, and there were volunteers and professional medical teams coming to help. Everyone was waiting for their luggage. She finally saw her big bag on the conveyor belt. It was very difficult to move it down. Someone nearby reached out and helped her put it on the cart. She thanked her repeatedly. The man saw that she was still packing boxes of medicines and instant noodles, so he asked her: "Are you a volunteer?"

She was a little dazed: "No, I am a reporter."

The man smiled gently: "It's okay, the same."

Yes, they are all here to do what they can do and do their best.

The situation in Chengdu is much better than she had imagined. The order of the city has basically been restored. Although the open space is still full of tents, the traffic situation has returned to normal. Occasionally, you can see ambulances whistling by. The newspaper has a reporter station in Chengdu, and the reporters all rushed to the frontline disaster area, leaving behind an editor on duty. She went to meet the editor, but she encountered aftershocks shortly after entering the door. Du Xiaosu only felt that the room was shaking for a few seconds, and she was taken aback. The editor was very calm: "You will get used to it by shaking."

At present, it is still very difficult to get to the hardest-hit areas. Most of the roads have not been cleared due to landslides. Many rescue forces have ventured over the mountains and entered on foot.

"It's raining again. This weather is so bad." The editor said, "When it rains, it is easy to collapse and mudslides, which is worse."

I couldn't find the car. The editor helped me think of a lot of ways. The sky gradually darkened. Even if I found the car, it was very unsafe. I had to live in Chengdu first. Du Xiaosu called Lao Mo to explain the situation briefly. Lao Mo was very tolerant and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, think of a solution tomorrow. News is important, but safety is more important."

She brought her laptop and found that the hotel broadband was unblocked, so she checked the geographical locations of the hardest-hit areas on the Internet, and a very brief report sent back by reporters who ventured into the disaster area with rescue forces. I just felt that the more I watched, the more shocking, the number of deaths was still rising. Looking at the latest pictures in front, she felt very uncomfortable in her stomach. Then she remembered that she had forgotten to eat for dinner, but it was too late and she didn’t want to eat anything. Something, so I turned off the computer and forced myself to sleep.

It's been raining outside the window, and she slept in a daze. I have a lot of dreams, but they are all broken pieces, fuzzy, blurred, and I wake up intermittently, and wake up in a cold sweat. Maybe it was because of the change of the environment that she was really not sleeping well, and finally she was suddenly awakened by the strong shaking: aftershocks!

It's really an aftershock! The window was rattling, and from the dim light of the sleeping light, the water glass on the table was shaking badly. Before she could react, the lights in the residential building outside were all on, the hotel's fire alarm sounded sharply, and the waiter in the corridor was already yelling: "Aftershocks! Go!"

Many guests ran downstairs in a panic in their pajamas. Du Xiaosu still remembered to bring his camera and laptop. In the early morning, hundreds of people came out of the streets suddenly, and all the people from nearby residential buildings also came down, with their families and their mouths. Everyone was in shock. Standing on the street, there were children crying and others cursing. At this time, her heart jumped wildly, beating fast and fast, she thought, she was frightened.

Standing under the hotel until about three o'clock in the morning, the earth was silent, as if it was just the only thing that stretched inadvertently in his sleep. Only by being on the scene can we know that people are so weak and powerless in front of nature. The people on the road gradually dispersed, and the hotel staff also came to persuade the guests to go back to sleep. Du Xiaosu was originally a fearless temperament. Besides, he had to enter the hardest hit area. Sooner or later he had to adapt to this situation, so he ran back to the room and fell asleep first.

It was only in the morning that the aftershocks that occurred in the early hours of the morning were the largest after the earthquake. The roads to several villages and towns were affected again. The landslides and landslides interrupted the roads that were just repaired, including the road to her. The road to the destination. But Du Xiaosu still had no return. Colleagues helped her make countless calls before finding an off-road vehicle willing to go. It is said that this car is a volunteer chartered car, but there is still a place to pick her up.

As soon as I got in the car, I felt it was a coincidence, because I happened to meet the person who helped her with the luggage at the airport. He also had two companions, three big men sitting in a row, leaving her the position of the co-pilot. The back seat of the car was stuffed with supplies, mostly medicines, as well as tents and canvases that were most in short supply in the disaster area. The man was also surprised when she saw her: "Ah, what a coincidence!"

It was a coincidence, so after a brief chat, Du Xiaosu learned that his surname was Meng and he was a volunteer from Beijing.

After driving for two hours, the mountain road has begun to be rugged and difficult to navigate. Along the way, we encountered convoys for disaster relief or ambulances that transported the wounded. The road is very narrow, and there are big rocks in some places, so I have to detour carefully. The more you walk forward, the more precarious you are. There are constantly small rocks falling on the mountain, making loud noises on the roof of the car. The driver drove the car carefully, cursing God in dialect. After walking for a long time, I suddenly saw a traffic policeman, standing on the most dangerous curve to direct the meeting. This traffic policeman was wearing a dusty police safety helmet, and a dusty police motorcycle parked not far behind him. His appearance was exhausted and his gestures were not strong, but most of the relief vehicles were in the area. Under his command, he passed quickly. When their car drove by, Du Xiaosu raised his camera through the window and took a picture of the unknown hero who stood by his post.

As it approached noon, the car went to a slightly open area, so the driver stopped the car for a rest. It was convenient for the driver to go to the river under the roadbed, and Du Xiaosu also got out of the car to move his numb leg. She only felt that her heartburn was uncomfortable, so she took apart a piece of chocolate and forced herself to swallow it. The three volunteers did not get out of the car, they sat in the car and ate bread for lunch in silence. The driver came back and swallowed a piece of bread in three mouthfuls, so he told Du Xiaosu to get into the car and said, "Let's go." After looking at the sky, he murmured, "A turtle son!"
