"The Miracle Survivor"
"We Still Have Hope"
"The dark night will eventually usher in the sunshine"
"God's Gift"
…
Newspapers after newspapers are reporting on the news about the appearance of this "survivor" and more "survivors". This is definitely exciting news. These people are not completely dead. They are still struggling for help in the ruins. That person The seriously injured survivors were interviewed by reporters.
Lying on a clean and warm bed in the hospital, he told the reporters in the room and outside the window his psychological journey after his death. He first thanked the empire for its immediate and active response and search and rescue work, and thanked God for the mercy given to him. Thank you to his wife and children, thank you to everyone and everything for letting him go through the most desperate and terrifying period of his life.
When the tunnel collapsed, he fell to the ground. All the light around him disappeared at that moment. He struggled hard, but the falling steel bars and some stones broke his hands and feet, and knocked him to pieces. He was pinned down and couldn't get out. He was always surrounded by despair without even a flicker of light. He thought he would die there. He began to be afraid and crazy, but his family awakened his desire to survive.
He ate some dirt in the process, which tasted very bad, but he was able to withstand the pain of hunger. When he is thirsty, he will lick the cold "ice stones" that are covered with ice. During the time he persisted, what frightened him the most was the constant drop in body temperature. He felt colder and colder. Fortunately, there was no wind in the ruins, and he was wearing thicker clothes.
He fell asleep twice on the way, but fortunately he woke up again each time. His emotional memories and two bursts of tears made all the reporters and medical staff present shed tears.
He is a strong man, a man who fights for himself and his family!
The city of Otis not only exempted him from all medical expenses, but also asked United Construction Engineering to compensate him 2,000 yuan in accordance with the third-level disability standards. And United Construction Group assured that after his fractures healed, he would continue to be employed to serve the company and would be given a managerial salary. The worker also expressed his approval of the compensation and admired United Construction's attitude.
Of course, search and rescue work is not always such inspiring news, and the dead are constantly being found, but soon newspapers no longer pay attention to these news clues. Compared with the sad news, the injured who continue to appear and be rescued This is the news that should really be reported everywhere. This meets all the moral and ethical points of view, people like this kind of news and pay for it and buy the newspaper.
Two days later, at a press conference at the Otis City Hall, Scott, wearing a brand new formal suit, stood on the stage with a heavy look on his face and a white flower on his chest. He looked around at the reporters in the venue, held his hands together, and said, "Let us mourn for all the victims for a minute. Thank you!" As he said this, he closed his eyes. After being stunned for a while, the reporters also stood up and started. Pay tribute to those who died in the disaster.
In fact, both the reporters present and some social figures with a sense of justice and responsibility knew that the so-called mourning was the "opening ceremony" of this press conference, but everyone pretended to be cooperative. Maybe they took a minute. Time to think about what to eat for lunch, or which girlfriend to have sex with at night, or some reporters thinking about how to write a press release that can drive newspaper sales.
In short, everyone is like that.
Scott stood on the stage with some emotion. Dulin called him two days ago and invited him to become the mayor's secretary of the Otis City Hall and part-time press officer. He decided to resign without much consideration. Regarding the work in Ilian, Huo Siden resolutely came to Odis City due to Huo Siton's sincere efforts to persuade him to stay.
Du Lin did not give him a brilliant future for Hongda. He just told him that if he did a satisfactory job, he could serve as the spokesperson for his own interests and continue to work in Otis City after he resigned.
This "interest spokesperson" doesn't seem to be a great title, and it doesn't even have a formal position, but Scott knows very well that Dulin built this poor and useless place into what it is, and how much valuable he has left in the world. of "wealth". He needs an "evil dragon" to help him take a good look at things here. He may have had someone he recognized before, but from now on, he is that person.
He would become the "shadow mayor" of the city. This feeling of power far exceeded all the seemingly sweet lies. The real benefits made him not think about it for long at all.
A minute is very short, or it may be very long. After Scott opened his eyes, the expression on his face became more and more painful. In fact, he is now very grateful to Hosdon, who gave him these six years of working life and allowed him to accumulate extremely rich social experience and acting skills.
"Please take a seat... First of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy work to attend this press conference. All journalists present can receive a gift after the event, which is some local specialties."
"Then we will officially start this press conference. First of all, let me make an explanation for everyone. Based on the unanimous responses given by the three well-known architectural design companies in the empire, as well as the accident report submitted by the joint construction company, we can clearly find that The main responsibility for this accident comes from data errors on the part of the United Construction Engineering Group. The engineers responsible for designing the frame tunnel ignored the weight caused by the heavy snowfall, and the construction machinery did not clean up the rockfall on the roof in a timely manner. Combined with other factors, This led to the occurrence of this accident... "
"Otis is a transparent city. We will not hide the problems that occur like other cities. We will put everything in the sun and everyone can examine it."
"According to the search and rescue team's feedback so far, we have found a total of 221 bodies at the accident site, and at the same time sent 466 injured workers to local and foreign hospitals for rescue treatment. According to We got the paycheck, and there are still about 300 workers trapped in the ruins. Our time is running out, but I believe that miracles will come to this land again. God loves the world, and so will. Bless us!”
"In terms of compensation, all injured or dead workers will be compensated in accordance with the five-level compensation system currently implemented in the empire. Mr. Dulin, the mayor of Otis City, has made it clear that he will definitely urge the United Construction Group to compensate all victims and injured people. The compensation has been paid, and if the United Construction Engineering Group cannot come up with enough money to compensate, the Otis City Hall will advance the funds to ensure that all the victims' families will not suffer other changes due to this accident."
"I know that many people are concerned about whether the east-west railway will continue to be constructed after such a big accident. On behalf of the Otis City Hall and the mayor, Mr. Dulin, I would like to tell everyone that yes, we will continue. Construction. If joint construction doesn't work, then change it. We have the confidence and responsibility to overcome all difficulties and solve the biggest problem faced by the road traffic in Otis City. We also ask the general public and the citizens of the empire to understand and be considerate. , and continue to support our work... ”
After a long series of speeches, Scott picked up the cup and took a sip of cold water. "Now is the question time. We have thirty minutes of question time. In principle, each reporter is only allowed to ask one question. I have the right not to answer." Some radical questions.”
The reporters in the venue raised their hands one after another, and the photographers and photographers nearby began to focus their cameras on the enthusiastic reporters. Scott casually clicked on a blond female reporter in the third row, not because he admired the female reporter's face, nor because her figure could make Scott attracted. The key was that the female reporter was one of his own.
"Hello, Mr. Press Officer, I am a reporter from the Central Empire United Newspapers. From the data you mentioned just now, we know that the death toll in this accident is very high. Do you think this number will continue to increase? How can we ensure that the responsible party for the accident, the United Construction Union, will pay all the compensation?" After the female reporter asked, she looked at Scott with a bright look. This was the "script" prepared last night. Now is the test. Time to memorize and wing it.
Scott raised his hand and pressed softly to make the female reporter sit down. He thought a little and frowned a little, as if he was really thinking. "You asked two questions...", he smiled, "I'll just take it as a problem."
"I don't know if the death toll will continue to rise, but I believe God will have His arrangements. The only thing we can do is to speed up the search and rescue process and try to clear all the ruins before tomorrow night. I hope it will More miracles will happen again, and I believe everyone feels the same. As for the other issue, the Otis City Hall and the mayor, Mr. Dulin, have already contacted the chairman of United Construction Engineering."
"United Construction Engineering stated that they are a company with a sense of social responsibility and strictly abide by the laws of the empire. They will allocate no less than 6 million in compensation to pay everyone's compensation. Half of this money has already been paid. In the official account of the City Hall, the official account is currently set to be visible. You can go to the Imperial Bank to inquire about related matters.”
"As a guarantee, Mayor Mr. Dulin also hopes that I can tell everyone that if the United Construction Group is short of even one penny, Mr. Mayor will take a stand and submit a bill to the Imperial Parliament to expel all persons with moral and integrity violations. The debt owed to the federal people!"
