Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

In the late summer and early autumn of 1998, the peace was completely broken by a natural disaster.

Above the sky, thunder rumbled, like the angry roar of an ancient beast, with a momentum to destroy the world, as if it would split the earth apart.

The strong wind brought with it heavy rain, roaring like a wild beast that had broken free from its reins. The raindrops were carried by the strong wind and hit the ground, making crackling sounds, as if they were going to smash everything in the world to pieces.

The rain was pouring down like a river in the sky bursting its banks, pouring down endlessly.

The continuous heavy rains made every inch of the earth soaked with water, and the water levels of rivers, lakes and reservoirs rose sharply. Soon, the river embankments could not bear the weight and burst.

The muddy flood surged out with the force of an overwhelming tidal wave, instantly destroying everything in its path.

The flood devoured everything like a ferocious beast. The fertile crops were submerged in an instant, and the fields that were just waiting for a good harvest became muddy in the blink of an eye.

There was a vast ocean across the vast sky and earth, and the villages, roads, and fields that were familiar to us in the past had all disappeared.

Countless houses were crumbling in the flood. Under the continuous impact of the flood, they finally collapsed, raising large splashes of water, and were swallowed up by the flood in an instant.

Many people were ruthlessly swept away by the raging flood while they were still asleep, leaving behind only a few desperate cries that were instantly dissipated in the wind and rain.

This once-in-a-century flood came with great force.

Among them, Gan City, Xiang City and E City suffered the most serious disasters, especially along the river basin. The flood was like a crazy beast. Wherever it went, the crops were uprooted and floated on the water, like a silent cry.

The houses were wiped out in the flood, leaving only some broken walls, still standing stubbornly in the water, witnessing the cruelty of the disaster.

The flood disaster affected a wide area, and all 29 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the country were not spared. From the water towns in the south to the plains in the north, from the coastal areas in the east to the mountainous areas in the west, the shadow of the flood shrouded the earth, bringing devastating disaster to countless families.

In the critical moment, the people's soldiers stepped forward. Regardless of their own safety, they shuttled through the turbulent floods and raced against time to rescue the trapped victims.

Some of them paddled rubber boats to search for people trapped in the flood;

Some jumped into the water and carried sandbags on their shoulders to reinforce the embankment;

Some carried the elderly and children on their backs and struggled forward in the waist-deep flood.

Time and again, they used their flesh and blood to build a solid line of defense for life between the flood and the people.

But it's still not enough.

Human beings are small and powerless in the face of natural disasters.

Even so, the children still fought against the flood and rescued the people and animals.

But...it's still not enough.

He Yuzhu frowned as he watched the news scrolling repeatedly on TV.

In the late summer and early autumn of 1998, heavy rains poured down, rivers roared, and a once-in-a-century flood swept in with devastating force.

The turbid waves swallowed the earth, countless families were displaced, and lives were in danger in the floods.

This disaster is not only an expression of nature's brutality, but also a severe test of human nature and social cohesion.

He Yuzhu, an entrepreneur who is usually very successful in the business world, is now sitting in a spacious and bright office, staring at the TV screen.

On TV, the news anchor had a solemn look on his face as he kept reporting the latest updates on the flood.

In the picture, the raging flood is raging like a beast, houses are collapsing, and people are struggling desperately in the flood.

He Yuzhu's brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was full of anxiety and heartache.

He knew very well that what was shown on TV was just the tip of the iceberg of this disaster.

How can the lives lost and the properties washed away be fully covered by the cold numbers on the screen?

"This disaster is more serious than I thought." He murmured to himself, with an undisguised heaviness in his voice.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

He Yuzhu's assistant Xiao Wang walked in quickly, holding a stack of documents in his hand, with a similarly solemn expression.

"Mr. He, this is the latest disaster report. The affected area is still expanding. People in many places are trapped and urgently need relief supplies."

He Yuzhu took the document, glanced at it quickly, and clenched his fist unconsciously: "No, we can't just sit there and do nothing. The most urgent task is to deliver the supplies to the victims as soon as possible and relocate the trapped people.

Xiao Wang, notify the heads of each department to come to the conference room immediately for a meeting. We need to work out a response plan."

A few minutes later, the conference room was full of people, and the atmosphere was oppressive and tense. He Yuzhu stood up and looked at everyone with a firm gaze:

“As everyone has seen, the flood situation is severe and countless people are in dire straits.

As a company, we must shoulder our social responsibilities. After some preliminary thinking, I think we should first solve the problem of rescue and material transportation. "

Sales Manager Lao Zhang frowned and said, "Boss He, we can collect some relief supplies, but transportation is a big problem.

Many roads were washed away by the floods, traffic was paralyzed, and supplies could not be transported in at all.”

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "I have considered this as well. We have to find a way to contact some professional rescue teams. They have experience and equipment.

In addition, we need to prepare some means of transportation suitable for use in floods, such as kayaks.”

At this time, Xiao Li from the purchasing department, who had been silent, spoke up: "Mr. He, for kayaks, we can contact the kayak factory to place an order.

However, the demand is so great now, I don’t know if it can be supplied in time.”

He Yuzhu made a prompt decision: "No matter what, let's contact them first. I remember there is a kayak factory. I'll call and ask now."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of the kayak factory.

After the call was connected, He Yuzhu said anxiously: "Hello, is this the kayak factory? I am He Yuzhu, I want to order a batch of kayaks.

Yes, the quantity is quite large, 20,000. Can you produce it as soon as possible? "

The person in charge of the kayak factory came from the other end of the phone with an embarrassed voice: "Mr. He, it's not that we don't want to help you, but we have too many orders now and our production capacity is limited. We really can't get so many kayaks together at once."

He Yuzhu was extremely anxious: "Director Li, please think of another way. The people in the disaster area are eagerly waiting for the supplies. This is a matter of life and death! Can you see if you can work overtime and transfer more people? I am willing to negotiate the price."

Director Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. He, I understand your feelings, and we also want to contribute to the disaster area.

Let’s put it this way. We’ll try to speed up production, but 20,000 is really too many. How about we give you 10,000 first?

We will find ways to deliver the rest in batches.”

Although He Yuzhu was a little disappointed, he also knew that this was the other party's best effort:

"Okay, let's start with 10,000. Director Li, please do it as soon as possible. Time is life!"

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu said to everyone: "Let's get 10,000 kayaks first. Although the number is not enough, it can solve the urgent problem.

You should also prepare life jackets, the more the better.

Xiao Li, I'll leave this matter to you."

Xiao Li nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. He, I will contact the manufacturer immediately."

After solving the kayak problem, He Yuzhu turned his attention to collecting supplies.

"Food and daily necessities are also vital. The people in the disaster area need them the most right now. Lao Zhang, how is the inventory situation at our Jiangnan headquarters?"

Lao Zhang flipped through the information in his hand and replied, “Jiangnan Headquarters still has some food and daily necessities in stock, but the quantity is limited.

However, we can urgently allocate some and transport them to the disaster area first.”

He Yuzhu decisively ordered: "Mobilize immediately, as many as possible.

In addition, contact suppliers and increase purchasing efforts.

Instant noodles, dried meat, drinking water, the more the better."

At this time, the Finance Manager, Lao Sun, who had been silent, looked embarrassed:

"Mr. He, for such a large-scale purchase and material allocation, the funding..."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Money is not a problem, saving people is the most important thing.

As long as it can help the people in the disaster-stricken areas overcome their difficulties, it is worth spending any amount of money.

Lao Sun, you are responsible for coordinating the funding issues and ensuring the smooth procurement and transportation of materials."

Old Sun nodded: "Okay, Mr. He, I will do my best to coordinate."

After the meeting, He Yuzhu was not idle.

He knew clearly that relying solely on the power of enterprises was far from enough and that more social forces needed to be mobilized.

So he called a few business partners.

"Hello, Lao Chen, I'm He Yuzhu. You've seen the news, right? The floods are so serious now, we can't just sit back and watch.

I am planning to organize a charity donation event, can you help out?"

Old Chen on the other end of the phone readily agreed: "Mr. He, since you have asked, I will definitely support you. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

He Yuzhu said: "I want to collect some supplies to ship to the disaster area. If you have any channels, please help me purchase some clothes, shoes, sanitary napkins and other daily necessities.

I'll pay for the expenses, and you just run errands for me."

Lao Chen smiled and said, "No problem, Mr. He, I'll take care of this little thing.

I will contact the supplier and get the supplies as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu contacted several friends one after another, and they all expressed their willingness to lend a helping hand.

For a moment, love came together in this difficult time.

During the intense preparation process, He Yuzhu suddenly thought of a secret of his own - he owned a mysterious space where he stored a large amount of supplies.

He obtained this space by chance many years ago, and he was the only one who knew about it.

At this moment, looking at the tragic situation in the disaster area, he decided not to hide it anymore.

"Maybe it's time to put this space to good use." He Yuzhu thought to himself.

He came to a hidden corner of the warehouse alone, chanted a spell silently, and instantly, a mysterious space appeared before his eyes.

It was filled with all kinds of supplies, including food and daily necessities. He Yuzhu started to move them without hesitation. With his efforts, 200,000 tons of food were transferred out of the space bit by bit.

When the workers saw the mountains of grain, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Mr. He, where does this food come from?" a worker asked curiously.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry about where they come from. These are life-saving grains that are to be transported to the disaster areas. Everyone, work harder and load them onto the trucks as quickly as possible."

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the supplies were finally almost collected.

Trucks loaded with supplies drove towards the disaster area.

He Yuzhu also led the team personally and embarked on the rescue journey to the disaster area.

Along the way, the roads were rugged and difficult to travel, and many places were destroyed by floods.

But He Yuzhu and his team did not retreat at all. With firm belief and tenacious perseverance, they finally arrived at Gan City, the worst-hit city.

When their convoy appeared in the disaster area, they were warmly welcomed by the local people.

The eyes of those trapped people were filled with tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you for coming to save us!" An old man held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice.

He Yuzhu's eyes were moist, and he patted the old man on the shoulder: "Old man, you're welcome, this is what we should do. As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty."

Afterwards, He Yuzhu and the rescue team quickly engaged in intensive rescue work.

They drove kayaks through the flood waters, searching for trapped people and safely transferred the elderly, children and women to safe areas. At the same time, they distributed supplies to bring hope of life to the affected people.

During the rescue process, He Yuzhu met a young volunteer named Xiaolin.

Xiao Lin is a college student. After the flood occurred, he rushed to the disaster area and joined the rescue team.

"Brother He, you are amazing. You brought so many supplies and helped us a lot!" Xiao Lin said with admiration.

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head: "My power alone is limited. The key is that everyone works together. Didn't you give up your vacation and come here to help the victims?"

Xiao Lin scratched his head and said, "I just want to do my part. It's really sad to see so many people suffering from the disaster."

He Yuzhu patted Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "Well done, young people should have this responsibility. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

In the following days, He Yuzhu, Xiao Lin and other rescue workers worked day and night on the front line of flood control.

They interpret the great love of humanity through their actions.

As time went by, the flood gradually receded and reconstruction work in the disaster area gradually began.

He Yuzhu did not leave. He decided to stay and continue helping the people in the disaster area rebuild their homes.

He organized a professional construction team to build houses for the disaster-stricken people.

At the same time, he also donated a large amount of funds for infrastructure construction in the disaster area.

Under his leadership, more and more people joined the reconstruction team in the disaster area.

One day, He Yuzhu was busy at the construction site when he suddenly received a call.

The call was from a government department, who highly praised his outstanding performance in flood control, disaster relief and reconstruction in the disaster-stricken areas and expressed their intention to commend him.

"Mr. He, your kind act not only helps the victims, but also sets an example for the society.

On behalf of the government and the people in the disaster-stricken areas, we express our heartfelt thanks to you!" On the other end of the phone, the government worker's voice was full of respect.

He Yuzhu said modestly: "This is what I should do, I just did my best.

The ones who really deserve recognition are the soldiers and volunteers who are fighting on the front line of flood control. They are the cutest people.”

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu looked at the disaster area that was gradually recovering, feeling filled with emotion.

Although this severe flood brought great pain to people, it also made him see the brilliance of human nature and the cohesion of society.

He believes that with everyone's joint efforts, the disaster-stricken areas will be able to rebuild their homes and usher in a better tomorrow.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the flood has receded for several months.

In the disaster-stricken areas, new houses are rising from the ground, in the fields, crops are thriving, and the children's laughter and cheers are once again echoing in this land that once experienced so much vicissitudes.

He Yuzhu stood on the newly built river embankment, looking at everything in front of him, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. He, look, the disaster area has become so beautiful now!" Xiao Lin came to his side at some point and said excitedly.

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. As long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Xiao Lin looked at He Yuzhu with admiration in his eyes: "Brother He, you are my role model.

In the future, I will also contribute more to society like you."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, young people should have such ambitions.

Remember, no matter what time it is, you must keep a kind heart and help those in need. "
