The damage caused by the earthquake is severe, with a large number of casualties and many houses destroyed. Hechuan County already lacked medical resources, and after Jiang Nuan and the others arrived, it didn’t get much better—there were still many injured with few medical staff.
Jiang Nuan was so busy every day that she hardly had time to eat or use the restroom, practically living in the operating room.
This hectic life blurred the days. If Yi Hengjian hadn’t e looking for her, she would’ve forgotten what she promised before.
Jiang Nuan took off her gloves and, with a face full of exhaustion, said, "Mayor Yi, I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy these past two days."
"It’s fine." Yi Hengjian waved his hand, his face showing disfort, "Xiao Jiang, there’s actually something I wanted to talk to you about."
Jiang Nuan looked up, "What is it?"
He didn’t know how to start, hesitating, "It’s about Fu Yi."
Jiang Nuan frowned slightly—Fu Yi? They hadn’t seen each other since the day she cleared things up. For the past few days, she’d been throwing herself into work, partly to avoid facing reality. Hearing his name suddenly caused a hidden pain in her heart, and her hand unconsciously clenched, her eyes flickered, "What about him?"
"Sigh." Yi Hengjian sighed heavily, raising his eyes to look at her, saying, "I don’t know what’s up with him. This guy’s been working like mad these past few days, and today he even went to the site. I thought you might know why he’s suddenly not caring about his life."
Jiang Nuan felt his gaze make her eyelid twitch, and she took a deep breath, "I don’t know."
"I see."
Yi Hengjian couldn’t figure out their relationship either and sighed, "I thought you knew and hoped you could talk to him. We’ve tried advising him to no avail; he won’t listen. Ah, even you don’t know, it seems there’s nothing more to be done."
Jiang Nuan suddenly stopped him, "... I’m just on a lunch break, where is he at the construction site? I’ll go take a look."
At the rescue front line, dust filled the air, with large excavators and cranes gathered, and workers bustling everywhere.
"How is it? Can you dig underneath?"
"I think it’s tricky. We did a quick check, and there’s only one beam supporting the part that hasn’t collapsed yet. If the excavator starts digging, it will break the beam. Clearing the stones manually is too time-consuming. The survey team said there are two asbestos boards under the stone pile, each weighing at least a ton. We can’t lift them..."
"Hey, what did Director Fu say?"
"Director Fu is still thinking of ways, hasn’t said how to rescue yet."
"We’ll wait for arrangements then."
"Hmm, we can only wait."
Upon hearing a familiar name, Jiang Nuan walked over and politely asked, "Hello, I’m looking for Director Fu. Do you know where he is?"
"You’re looking for Director Fu?" The two sized her up and down, seeing Jiang Nuan in a white coat, young and beautiful, without playing coy, they said, "Director Fu is over there."
He pointed in a direction and turned his head to say, "You’re Director Fu’s doctor, right? Ah, doctors work hard, thank you."
Before he came as a volunteer, he was always biased against the leaders, thinking those at the top just eat without doing any work.
Only after ing here and seeing Director Fu with his own eyes did he realize he had been narrow-minded.
People’s biases can sometimes be like a big mountain. Had he not seen it himself, he might’ve been like some people online, not understanding the situation and cursing everyone indiscriminately...
Jiang Nuan looked in the direction he pointed her to, and after confirming, she smiled, "Don’t thank me, everyone is working hard."
