Chapter 288 Please put down your camera
A long night.
The wind continued to blow, unwilling to leave.
Chu Yang has been staying in the main control building, keeping a close eye on every move of the 220kV Xing'an Line.
When the line voltage fluctuated, Chu Yang followed the operators into the rain to inspect the equipment. Even if he could not do anything, he wanted to let his comrades know of his presence.
"Director Chu, have some porridge." At five in the morning, Stationmaster Li had someone order a midnight snack, which was fried rice noodles and millet porridge.
"Let everyone eat first. I'm not hungry." Chu Yang didn't want any privileges. At this moment, they were the most important. He was also afraid that the porridge and noodles would not be enough. They were doing physical work, and he was just working hard.
"Director Chu, please eat. We are eating too. This porridge is enough." The other duty leaders and comrades looked at the young Director Chu and felt deeply moved. This leader was indeed different. He had good skills and a high level of ability. He was not arrogant and could share the joys and sorrows with them.
"Eat more, eat more. After the typhoon passes tomorrow, the tough task will be to repair and restore power." Chu Yang continued to invite everyone to eat. This was just the appetizer, and the real challenge was yet to come.
"Director Chu, it won't be tasty for us if you don't eat. You should have a bowl too." Chu Yang was a little moved when he saw satisfied smiles on the tired faces of his comrades around him.
The lovely and amiable Sister Hua served Chu Yang a bowl of rice. Chu Yang did not delay any longer and drank it in one gulp. He felt refreshed all over. In fact, the millet porridge had no taste, but at this moment, you would feel that it was like bird's nest.
Eat well and continue to struggle.
Although he hadn't slept for thirty hours, Chu Yang didn't feel very tired.
At this moment, the company needs me, and my comrades need me.
I haven't felt this needed in a long time.
Chu Yang was intoxicated with the feeling that he was very important and a great man. The defense battle of the 220kV Xing'an Line made Chu Yang feel that he had truly taken on something.
This is the first time I feel that work is a meaningful thing.
This was my dream when I graduated, to contribute to this society. To be honest, such opportunities are rare and fucking luxurious.
So today, Chu Yang was tired and even a little excited.
This is the joy of giving.
President Tian also called just now and told Chu Yang that he must hold the last line of defense because other areas have already fallen. I heard that something big happened on President Liang's side. As for what it was, Chu Yang didn't know and was too lazy to care. He didn't have time to care. He was in charge of the southern area.
Stationmaster Li asked Chu Yang to take a rest several times, saying that he would call him if there was anything else.
But Chu Yang didn't want to.
I can't and don't want to waste this opportunity.
Of course, this is not an opportunity to show off. I just want to do more and give more. Maybe I am really not that important, but Chu Yang does these things not only for performance, but for redemption.
Yes, to redeem one's own degenerate soul.
It is indeed difficult for others to understand why Director Chu works so hard and always stays with these villains. Sister Hua has also been following Chu Yang. Seeing this young man running around and issuing orders steadily, she is a little surprised at Chu Yang's maturity.
There was only one thought in her mind: This child will become a great man.
Chu Yang's own equipment is indeed very large.
By six o'clock in the morning, the wind outside had obviously decreased.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the 220kV Xing'an Line miraculously "survived", but the rain is still falling and the outside world is still gray, as if separated by a veil.
Chu Yang kept a close eye on the weather news station, keeping an eye on the latest news about the typhoon.
At 6:30 in the morning, the Meteorological Forecast Bureau and experts unanimously announced that the typhoon in the Bula area had passed. Everyone in the station breathed a sigh of relief, put down their heavy tension, and smiled with relief.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the typhoon had gradually subsided and the company had lifted the wind warning, but there were still extremely heavy rains, and according to news reports, most of the power facilities in the Chuyang area had been paralyzed.
Heavy rain, extremely heavy rain, but actually, for the power workers who work in the wind and rain, this is nothing. Restoring power and repairing the power are urgent. A group of comrades who repaired the power last night have collapsed from exhaustion. Chu Yang forced them to change shifts and take a rest.
Then a group of people were organized again to continue rescue and relief efforts.
Stationmaster Li and Director Wu of the local Heling Power Supply Station both advised Chu Yang to take a rest and not to go, and let them take charge. However, Chu Yang ate a sandwich, put on a raincoat, and took Sister Hua to the rescue site.
They couldn't stop them, they just followed them.
Along the way, you can see that the big trees on the roadside are all leaning to this and that, the vegetables in the fields are all fallen over, the ground is full of gravel and mud, the river embankment has collapsed, the lines are broken, the whole world is devastated, the power of nature is so terrible.
When we arrived at the first scene, it was still raining heavily. Chu Yang got out of the car. Although he was wearing a raincoat, the rain still hurt his face. He could hardly open his eyes. Colleagues had already organized people to carry out emergency repairs, and there were also people helping to cut down trees not far away. Everyone worked together to overcome the difficulties.
When the comrades saw Chu Yang coming, they all stood up and shouted, "Hello, Director Chu."
Chu Yang waved his hand and replied distressedly: "Everyone has worked hard. Now the task is to rescue and restore power. The people need you. I have a few requests here. The first is to do everything possible to restore power supply. The second request is that you must pay attention to safety and don't force it. The third is that if you have any needs, tell me or tell Director Wu, I will definitely satisfy you. If anyone is not feeling well, please come down and rest, okay?"
"Okay, Director Chu ."
"Director Chu, don't worry."
With the leader here, everyone has more energy to work. This is the role of a leader. Chu Yang knows this. Everyone is not a god. Everyone has a family. Chu Yang knows his role, so he dragged his tired body here.
Chu Yang said a few simple words and everyone continued to repair the structure.
At this time, several young ladies from the company's publicity department came with several cameras and started taking pictures of Chu Yang.
Chu Yang didn’t know why he felt so disgusted and shouted, “Why are you filming me? Please point your damn cameras at those comrades who fought for us all night long. They are the real heroes.”
Chu Yang knew that the propaganda department just liked to exaggerate small things, and they would probably brag about him a lot, and he would really feel ashamed of himself. The people in the propaganda department didn't know why Chu Yang got angry, and walked away dejectedly, but they were not stupid, and they knew that only the leaders could have topics to talk about, so they secretly took pictures from behind.
On the other side, the western area.
Mr. Liang was also wearing a raincoat, walking on the front line of disaster rescue. Director Fan and Director Mo beside him took turns holding an umbrella for him.
When the propaganda department came over and asked to take a photo, he immediately asked the people around him to go away, took off his raincoat, and rushed out wearing a white shirt and white leather shoes. He picked up some mud and rubbed it on his clean clothes.
Only then did he come back to be interviewed.
He delivered an impassioned and heart-touching speech, and at the end he was so moved that he covered his face and cried. It was very moving.
Several directors arranged for a few people to come over and shake hands with him. Everyone was so excited that they wanted to cry and shouted, "Thank you for loving the past , thank you Mr. Liang for never leaving me."
Mr. Liang patted them on the shoulder and promised to provide electricity tonight...
In the wind and rain, there is another harmonious picture.
But no one knew that last night, when the wind and rain were the strongest, General Manager Liang ordered the risky repair of the 220kV Buren line. One of his colleagues was hit by a tree trunk that was blown down by the wind and was seriously injured. At this moment, he was declared dead in the hospital...
This wind leaves traces wherever it blows.
But his death was silent, and no one could prove that he had ever been in this world.
