Chapter 1123 - 1123 1079 Flood Control of the Hongjiang

?Chapter 1123: Chapter 1079: Flood Control of the Hongjiang River Chapter 1123: Chapter 1079: Flood Control of the Hongjiang River The sky was oppressively low, with dark clouds overhead and a peculiar heaviness in the air. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled in the distance. Though it was just after nine in the morning, it felt as if night had fallen, with streetlights ablaze and vehicles turning on their headlights.

Nie Zhenbang stood before the office window, wearing a white-striped short-sleeved T-shirt. His well-proportioned figure looked handsome; at forty-one, his physique had not changed at all.

Large raindrops pattered against the aluminum window frame, making a loud smacking noise. Nie Zhenbang’s eyebrows furrowed. As he turned around, Hong Feng came in through the door, and Nie Zhenbang suddenly asked, “Hong, how long has it been raining in Hongjiang Province since April?”

Hong Feng entered carrying documents. As the provincial Party committee’s top official, Nie Zhenbang was never short of paperwork. Documents were constantly being sent from various departments underneath the Party committee, the government side, and various bureaus and commissions, as well as municipalities below them.

The secretary’s job was to sift through these documents to determine their importance and urgency, and then, after classifying them accordingly, present them to the leader for review.

Startled by Nie Zhenbang’s question, Hong Feng hesitated. He wasn’t familiar with Hongjiang Province’s hydrological data. However, recollecting from April to now, he pondered for a moment and replied, “Since April, it’s been raining on and off; in April, the Sun shone for less than two days, and May was slightly better, but not more than five days.”

Hong Feng’s words weighed heavily on Nie Zhenbang. Continuous overcast and rainy weather, even if not every day brought a downpour, was relentless over two months’ time. And now, with June bringing relentless heavy rain, it felt as though the sky was a leaking canopy.

With a sigh, Nie Zhenbang could only shake his head with a bitter smile. Lately, extreme weather conditions had become more frequent—mild winters, scorching summers, mudslides, hail, typhoons, dust storms, smog, and so on. Humanity incessantly ravaged and took from nature. Now, with such erratic weather, it was as if nature was retaliating against mankind.
