Siheyuan: I just want to live

At this moment, Accountant Guan, who was notified by the security personnel, hurried towards the farm gate.

Along the way, he felt a little uneasy, not knowing what kind of situation he would face.

When he was finally approaching the farm gate, he saw Hou Debang's tall figure from afar and a long line of cars parked outside the gate.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Accountant Guan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Oh, Director Chen was right! Minister Hou actually brought people here to take away the grain. Looking at this scene, there must be a lot of grain being taken away this time!"

Although Accountant Guan was very busy at the moment, he never stopped walking. After a while, he quickly arrived at the gate of the farm.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, Accountant Guan first cast his eyes on Chen Feng, who was standing with his back to him, and shouted loudly: "Director, are you looking for me?"

After saying this, Accountant Guan quickly turned around and greeted Hou Debang with a smile: "Minister Hou is here too? Hello, Minister Hou!"

Hou Debang, who was talking with Chen Feng, heard Accountant Guan greeting him. He immediately stopped talking and turned to look at Accountant Guan.

Then he nodded slightly and responded, "Well, you too!"

Just a few simple words reveal a sense of gentleness and kindness.

Just as Accountant Guan waved and greeted Hou Debang with a smile on his face, Chen Feng also slowly turned around.

The moment his eyes met Accountant Guan, Chen Feng immediately showed a look of delight and quickly opened his mouth to speak.

"Oh, Accountant Guan, you're here at last! What a coincidence! I just happened to have something to trouble you with!"

Accountant Guan heard Chen Feng's enthusiastic call and quickly quickened his pace to come forward. He responded with a friendly smile on his face: "Haha, Director Chen, what can I do for you?"

Before Chen Feng could reply, Hou Debang, who was standing nearby, took the initiative to explain: "It's like this, Accountant Guan, our steel mill needs to transfer some grain from your farm for emergency."

"You were in charge of this last time, so you are more experienced. So this time, I'll have to ask you to take more care and help organize the staff to load the food onto the truck!"

After listening to Hou Debang's explanation, Accountant Guan nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Okay, Director Chen, Minister Hou, don't worry, I will take care of this little thing, I will organize the staff right away!"

As he said this, he was about to turn around and call the workers.

However, before leaving, Accountant Guan suddenly remembered an important matter, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Chen Feng and Hou Debang.

"By the way, two leaders, I wonder how much food we need to allocate this time? That way I can have an idea and arrange the appropriate amount of manpower and material resources."

When asked this by Accountant Guan, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, because he himself was not quite clear about the specific quantity requirements.

After hesitating for a moment, he had to look to Hou Debang beside him for help.

Hou Debang naturally understood what Chen Feng meant. He thought about it for a while, then answered slowly, "Well... Well, it's about accounting. To be honest, there is no specific quantity of grain to be transported this time."

"In short, just load as much as possible onto the truck first. The more the better."

"This..." Accountant Guan hesitated for a moment and did not immediately act according to what Hou Debang said. Instead, he turned his gaze to Chen Feng who was standing beside him - the farm manager and his direct superior.

At this moment, Hou Debang's words came into his ears. At the same time, Chen Feng found that Accountant Guan was also looking at him.

Chen Feng said to Accountant Guan without hesitation: "Accountant Guan, since Minister Hou has given instructions, you should follow them."

After receiving Chen Feng's clear instructions, Accountant Guan nodded and said, "Okay, Director! Minister Hou, I understand. I will start to arrange and organize the manpower right away."

After saying this, he did not dare to delay for even a second and hurriedly left where Chen Feng and Hou Debang were.

After Accountant Guan left, Hou Debang turned around and waved gently towards the long convoy behind him.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Feng saw the vehicles slowly and orderly driving into the farm.

However, at this moment, Chen Feng seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to Hou Debang, and asked curiously: "Brother Hou, will the grain you brought this time be sent directly to the disaster area?"

After hearing Chen Feng's question, Hou Debang hesitated for a moment, but quickly decided not to hide anything from Chen Feng anymore.

He looked at Chen Feng seriously and explained slowly, "Actually, these grains are not sent directly to the disaster area."

Chen Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, with a puzzled look on his face, waiting for Hou Debang to continue.

Hou Debang took a deep breath and continued, "These grains must first be transported to the Chengxi Flour Mill, which is under emergency construction."

"Once it arrives, it will be put into production immediately and ground into flour. Then, most of the processed flour will be quickly transported to the disaster area by train."

When he said this, Hou Debang paused for a moment, looking into the distance as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Feng again and continued: "However, a small part of the flour will follow the rescue team organized by our steel plant and take the truck to the disaster area."

"This will ensure that people in the disaster area can receive assistance and support as quickly as possible."

After listening to Hou Debang's detailed account, Chen Feng nodded in sudden enlightenment, expressing his understanding.

Indeed, if the steel plant sent the wheat grains directly, it would be of no help to the people in the disaster area who were in urgent need of food.

Although the most ideal relief supplies would be something that can be eaten immediately after opening the package, this is indeed difficult to achieve given the current conditions in the country.

Therefore, grinding the grain into flour before sending it to the disaster area is already a pretty good idea.

However, Chen Feng did not focus too much on this issue. He quickly turned his attention to Hou Debang and asked.

"Brother Hou, I just heard you mention that our steel plant will organize manpower to go to the disaster area to carry out rescue work."

"I am quite curious about this. I wonder who will be the members of the rescue team? And who will be leading the team?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Debang smiled and responded cheerfully: "The main members of this rescue operation are the young backbones from our steel plant's strong and experienced large engineering team. In addition, there are also doctors with superb medical skills from the steel plant's affiliated hospital."

"In this way, we can not only ensure that various rescue operations can be carried out efficiently at the rescue site, but also provide professional medical treatment services to the injured in a timely manner!"

Having said that, Hou Debang paused for a moment, then deliberately kept Chen Feng in suspense, whetting his appetite before slowly revealing the answer.

"As for the leader of this rescue team...haha, he is both far away and right before your eyes. It is none other than Brother Hou in front of you!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest with a look of pride and confidence on his face.

When Hou Debang finished speaking, Chen Feng couldn't help but frowned slightly. He spoke with some confusion and worry.

"Brother Hou, this disaster area is not an ordinary place. It is full of dangers and unknowns! How can our steel plant send an old man like you who is over 50 years old to go there?"

"Could it be that we can't even find a young, strong cadre in our steel mill, and no one is willing to lead a team to provide support to the disaster area?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hou Debang laughed cheerfully and waved his hand in response: "Hey, Brother Chen, look at what you said, how come there are no young people willing to go?"

Then, Hou Debang moved a little closer to Chen Feng, lowered his voice and continued mysteriously: "Brother Chen, let me tell you the truth. I spent a lot of effort to get this position of rescue team leader, and it was not easy to get it!"

Seeing Hou Debang so persistent in this mission, Chen Feng's doubts became more and more serious. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hou, since you also know that the disaster area is so dangerous, why do you have to rush to go there?"

Facing Chen Feng's question, Hou Debang first sighed deeply, and then explained earnestly: "Brother Chen, you may not understand the reason behind this."

"At my age now, if I don't seize the time to make some contributions, I'm afraid I will have to stay in this position until I retire!"

"So, now that such a rare opportunity has appeared, I must seize it firmly no matter what!"

"Otherwise, when you look back in the future, you will regret it, and then it will be too late!"

Seeing Hou Debang's statement, Chen Feng couldn't help but frown, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

He really couldn't understand why an official like Hou Debang, who already held a high-ranking department-level position, was still obsessed with climbing up the ladder for promotion?

With this confusion, Chen Feng had a faint smile on his face and said to Hou Debang half-jokingly.

"Brother Hou, you are now a senior leader in the main hall. Do you have higher aspirations?"

"Do you still want to work in the State Council?" After saying that, Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh softly.

Hearing Chen Feng's slightly teasing words, Hou Debang also responded with a hearty laugh, "Haha, brother, you are joking. A place like the State Council is not something I dare to dream of!"

"But if we can take one more step forward, when we retire, the benefits we enjoy will naturally be better, don't you think?"

As Hou Debang spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if looking forward to a better life in the future.
