Pampered By All In Different Planes

"Next, let's all work together diligently, and I believe we can surely get through this most difficult time," Su Zhiruan rallied everyone, and it lifted a lot of spirits.

Afterward, a period came when Su Zhiruan was the busiest, as she and Wen Qingyu devoted themselves to building the base, beginning to take on this mission wholeheartedly.

Wen Qingyu had excellent management skills, overseeing agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, irrigation, as well as industry and construction within the base.

As for Su Zhiruan, she promoted comprehensive development, broadcasting all her ideas and plans for establishing the base through FM radio, encouraging the public in small cities to collectively build the base, focus efforts on significant projects rather than waiting alone at home for rescue—after all, there was still a long battle to fight.

After temporary restoration of electricity, she continued to expand the base's scope, incorporating parts of Jinghua into the base's construction realm, with rebuilding efforts in the Inner City.

Some residents who were still alive at home were persuaded to join the base. Initially, they thought joining the base would be a brutal struggle for survival, an arena of bullying and oppression. However, once they joined, they found the management to be strict. Everyone had their tasks, working together to build this beautiful homeland.

Su Zhiruan was incredibly busy, and in the later stages, she and Wen Qingyu could only see each other occasionally.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder," so much so that their affection became very intense. This made other long-married couples envious. After all, it was very rare to still maintain such a passionate love and sincere emotions during these tough times, watching Wen Qingyu and Su Zhiruan dating made them feel as if they had returned to the carefree youthful days of their youth.

People from other areas ran to join Su Zhiruan's base, even researchers and scientists flocked to collaborate in the construction.

As the number of people grew, Su Zhiruan later amended the original plans, implementing a merit-based reward system. Internal reconstruction began as well, creating a more perfect and complete base, leading by example to influence and drive the entire populace to build a new base.

Because she knew the plot in advance, Su Zhiruan mobilized everyone to start stockpiling water resources before the extreme heat arrived, organizing large-scale cold water storage and thermostatically controlled rooms while the power was still out.

For those who stayed at the base, she arranged for researchers to develop resistance drugs in advance and organized physical exercises and health checks for all base inhabitants.

After all, the intense heat was unbearable, and missing a single step could mean facing life-threatening danger. Preparing in advance could at least help reduce the number of fatalities.

More people, after hearing the broadcasts, felt they could not stay at home any longer. They mustered up their courage to join the labor force and together with everyone, things started to move in a positive direction.

That day, when Su Zhiruan was returning home, she saw two elderly people waiting at the door.

The two seniors were holding umbrellas, each followed by two bodyguards. Looking at their demeanor, it was evident they were not ordinary people.

The old grandfather was wearing a short-sleeve shirt and stood erect with a cane in hand, his hair silver-white and glasses perched on his nose. The grandmother had her hair neatly coiled, not a strand out of place, with a friendly smile on her face. She was wearing a simple cheongsam, her face lined with wrinkles, but it was clear she was in good spirits.

Su Zhiruan approached and inquired, "Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"

When the two elders saw Su Zhiruan, they exchanged a glance, and a big smile appeared on their faces, their demeanor instantly turning gentler, "You are the base leader here, Miss Su Zhiruan, right?"

Su Zhiruan nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, are you looking for me?"

"We are Qingyu's grandparents. We came as soon as we heard the news," the grandmother said, smiling at Su Zhiruan, her happiness evident.

The young lady in front of them seemed not to be old, around 20 years old, but she exuded a comfortable aura, not one of those restless and superficial people. She had a deeply rooted beauty, and the elders, being well-experienced and discerning, took an immediate liking to the girl.

Her appearance was also pleasant. At first glance, they found her fair and delicate, a look that the elderly tend to appreciate, and these two were no exception.
