Part Three, Chapter 86: Empathy 13
bway, my face feels burning hot. 。The phone kept ringing non-stop, with calls from Zhuo YUAN, Lin ZHI, and Zhou Ming. She ignored them all. 。The subway roared through tunnel after tunnel. It wasn't ve..."Thank you, uncle" 。After almost half a month apart, there was a familiar yet slightly awkward feeling between them. 。Sitting in the car, she didn't know what to say for a moment. Song Jingye just looked at her quietly. She also looked at him, and they instinctively kissed deeply. They kissed for a long time, and all the awkwardness faded away. 。They parted ways, she blushing and reluctant: "I'm going up now..." 。"
Good 。Song Jingye got out of the car and stood beside it, watching her leave. 。Chen Ling returned to duty, in the early morning hours, she received several calls. They were all from families of people living in Xiliguo who inquired about the situation there. She answered them one by one. 。Some people are unable to contact their relatives and are very anxious. She quickly jotted down the relevant information and replied that she would immediately contact the local embassy to help them find someone. 。Some family members are very anxious: "Will Xili country erupt into conflict Can we still return now" Chen Ning didn't dare to say whether there would be a war, and could only say: "The current situation in Xili country is unstable, but all airports and transportation are still operating normally. If you wish to return home, please make arrangements as soon as possible." 。The on-duty period lasted until the late hours of the night, and no one called the hotline anymore. 。But their colleagues in Xili were already busy dealing with the situation, as many Chinese people had been robbed maliciously. Just a while ago, a Chinese company was also attacked. The colleagues in Xili not only had to protect the safety of their compatriots but also actively communicated with the local authorities, seeking protection. 。Chen Ling responded to her own guess, saying that if the situation didn't improve and continued like this, they might have to dispatch colleagues from China to provide support. 。
When morning came and her colleagues on shift arrived, she couldn't leave right away. Some tasks needed to be finished by her, and some required a detailed handover before she could depart. 。So I sent Song Jingye a message: "I'll be home later." 。Okay, I'll wait for you. 。He replied calmly. 。It took almost two hours before I could finally get off work. 。I ran into Xu Haichen at the elevator entrance. He was surprised and said, "You're not done with work yet"
"Just finished," 。I just came to work and saw Song's car parked outside. 。Xu Haichen came to work two hours ago. 。"Huh" Chen Ning replied, greeted him briefly, and hurried downstairs. 。As soon as she stepped out of the office building plaza, she saw Song Jingye's car parked where it was last night. She ran over and discovered he was leaning against the back of the chair, resting his eyes with the window slightly open. 。She gently knocked on the window. The person inside seemed to be woken up in their sleep, slightly frowned and opened their eyes to look at her outside the window. 。She waved at him, and he woke up, the corner of his mouth lifted, pressing down on the car window to say to her: "Get in." 。Then Chen Ning went around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat, looking at him: “Why did you come to pick me up early Didn’t we agree that I would let you know when I was ready” 。"
Anyway, there's nothing to do at home alone" 。He said nonchalantly, "Let's go," and pressed the gas pedal. 。"You don't have to get here so early, it's boring in the car." 。She felt a little sorry for him. 。
"It's okay" 。He came back, so of course he went home. 。After entering the house, Chen Ling realized belatedly that she hadn't come back last night. Her room was still in order as she had left it before, and the clothes she was wearing were the same as yesterday's. 。So, he just waited under her office all night after seeing her last night He didn't leave at all and waited the whole night through Her eyes suddenly warmed up, she hugged him from behind, pressing her face against his back: "Uncle, you're so silly" 。。Song Jingye turned around and hugged her, gently wiping away her tears with his fingertips: “Why are you crying You’re being silly!”
“You're the silly one. Why didn't you come home last night Are you tired” she asked, even though she had worked an entire night shift, she was only concerned about him. 。"I can't sleep at home anyway, so I might as well wait for you there. That way I can see you sooner." 。"Song Jingye said the truth, and he also got used to sleeping in the car. It wasn't a big deal," 。Chen Ling heard this and almost cried again, hugging him tightly, rubbing her face against his chest: "I'm sorry, I've been so busy at work lately..." 。He finally came back on the weekend, but she had to work overtime. 。"You worked the night shift, so go to sleep first." 。"Song Jingye ordered" 。"You accompany me " 。She clung to him, unwilling to let go. 。
“Good” 。Song Jingye simply scooped her up and laid her back down on the bed, content to just sleep beside her. 。Sometimes, a warm companionship is also a high-level form of love. 。I came back to spend two days with her over the weekend, and I left on Sunday evening. Chen Ling had to go on duty, so she couldn't see me off at the airport. Instead, he sent her to her workplace before leaving. 。It was already nighttime, the office lights were on brightly. Colleagues who had worked during the day saw her arrive and instead of clocking off, they continued working hard. 。As soon as she walked in, she could feel the tension in the air. Every colleague seemed to have three heads and six arms, answering non-stop ringing phones while frantically typing on their computers, recording information. 。All the calls are about Xili. The phone is ringing off the hook because more and more people can't get in touch with their relatives in Xili, and the Xili Chinese Consulate's phone number is unreachable. They can only call here, so she also quickly jumped into work. 。All night long, she answered countless questions and offered countless words of comfort, but deep down, she felt helpless. The information they were able to glean was scarce, and the number of missing compatriots continued to grow. 。I worked the night shift and was more exhausted than ever, my voice almost hoarse. 。Several colleagues on the morning shift couldn't hold on and were sleeping on the sofa in the second half of the night. 。Not until the second day, before working hours, did they see Teacher Zhang and several leaders hurrying towards their office. 。The meeting room is in session. 。Emergency meeting 。When everyone was present, Teacher Zhang spoke first, getting straight to the point: "The situation in Xili country these past few days, I presume everyone is aware. Their capital, Slor City, has fallen. Since yesterday, countless mobs have stormed the streets, causing violence and looting. There are over 10,000 Chinese citizens working, living, or visiting relatives and friends in Xili country, and the vast majority of these people are concentrated in the capital city, Slor City." 。Our colleagues in Xili have received countless calls about people going missing, and they are actively working to ensure the safety of their countrymen. However, they are outnumbered, and this morning, colleagues from neighboring countries also risked their lives to come to their aid. 。After Zhang Lao finished his introduction, the entire conference room fell silent. Everyone seemed to understand what was about to happen. 。After a few seconds of silence, Teacher Zhang swept his gaze over each face in the room, and finally said with determination: "We must bring our compatriots back." 。To bring our compatriots home safely, this is a large-scale operation, so we are waiting for approval from all parties. 。
While Teacher Zhang and all the leaders came to this meeting, their purpose was to mobilize everyone. They want to know who is willing to participate in this action. 。The conference room remained silent. Aside from several leaders, attendees represented various levels and had participated in numerous evacuation operations, some large and some small. 。ning company has also started operations, primarily providing raw materials for Senbing Industrial Group. 。Lu Kuo has also been busy lately, running between Senzhou and the southwest, so he's had a l...
