Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 287 He really can handle anything!

The autumn rain fell like silk threads, continuous and incessant.

A fine drizzle enveloped the entire Saihanba area, like a lingering layer of sorrow.

Raindrops rhythmically tapped against the windowpane of the technical department office.

There was no sign of stopping; it seemed as if they were lamenting this unfinished undertaking.

In the office of the Technical Department, all the staff of the Technical Department gathered together.

Everyone remained silent; the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The only sound was the patter of autumn rain outside the window, which added to the somber atmosphere.

"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, I apologize."

After a long while, Ji Xiurong slowly stood up.

Her voice broke the suffocating silence, tinged with self-reproach.

Upon hearing the sound, Xia Tian looked up at Ji Xiurong with a gentle gaze.

"Comrade Xiurong, what are you doing?"

Ji Xiurong lowered her head slightly, her face filled with remorse.

"Xia, I didn't make an accurate judgment about this autumn rain."

"It was my dereliction of duty that led to the failure of this autumn's afforestation task."

Summer gently waved her hand, gesturing for her to sit down first, her tone both gentle and firm.

"Comrade Xiurong, it is good that you are willing to take responsibility for your mistakes, and this is commendable."

"But this matter really has little to do with your judgment."

"Autumn afforestation was a decision made jointly by the forest farm leaders after careful consideration."

"This is an important task that is guided by our technical department and involves the concerted efforts and participation of all forest farm staff."

"Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate."

"The sudden autumn rains disrupted all plans, which led to the failure of the afforestation mission."

He paused slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over each person, before continuing.

"As everyone knows, the weather is unpredictable and full of uncertainty."

"As a meteorologist, Comrade Xiurong can only make predictions."

"Since it's a prediction, it's inevitable that it will be inaccurate at times."

"Therefore, the failure of this afforestation mission has nothing to do with you personally, Comrade Xiurong."

"Never take all the responsibility upon yourself."

Summer looked at everyone in the office, still feeling down and dejected.

He then raised his voice, trying to boost everyone's morale.

"I've gathered everyone here for this meeting today."

"The goal is to reduce the psychological pressure on everyone."

"Failure is not terrible; it is merely a stumbling block on the road to success."

"No, we can start over. There's no hurdle we can't overcome."

"Before this, I had already experienced many failures."

"But every failure brings me one step closer to success."

"I hope everyone understands that failure is only temporary, and there's no need to take it too seriously."

As everyone listened to Xia Tian's words, a glimmer of light gradually returned to their previously dim eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Tian continued.

"Alright, everyone, go back now."

"After returning to the dormitory, be sure to take protective measures."

"This rain has been going on for too long. We need to prevent water from flowing back into the dormitories and ensure our personal safety."

"Women, in particular, need to take good care of themselves."

People got up one after another, their steps no longer as heavy as when they arrived, and left the office in turn.

Summer watched their departing figures and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone left, he gathered his thoughts and went to find Yu Zheng alone.

At this moment, in the manager's office.

Yu Zhenglai was on the phone with a serious expression on his face.

"Minister Qin, this is Yu Zheng!"

Yu Zhenglai's voice was deep, yet carried a hint of sincerity.

"I want to apologize to you and the Ministry of Forestry."

"Correct."

"That's right, we planted more than 10 seedlings this autumn."

"But unexpectedly, due to the continuous rainfall."

"All the seedlings that were planted were submerged, so this afforestation mission can be considered a failure."

As Yu Zhenglai spoke, he listened attentively to the instructions given on the other end of the phone, nodding in response from time to time.

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

Yu Zhenglai only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Bang bang bang."

Just as he hung up the phone, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Please come in!"

Yu Zheng called out towards the door.

Soon, Xia Tian appeared in the manager's office.

"Manager!" Xia

Yu Zheng frowned slightly upon hearing Xia Tian's way of addressing him.

In the summer, he was usually called "Uncle Yu" in private, but now he was addressed as "Director," which clearly meant he had official business to report.

"What's wrong, Xia?"

Yu Zhenglai asked the question.

"Manager, I've come to apologize to you."

Xia Tian looked serious and began to speak to Zheng.

"The failure of autumn afforestation was due to the incorrect judgment of our technical department's meteorological station."

"As the main leader of the technical department, I should bear a large part of the responsibility."

Don't be fooled by how relaxed Xia Tian was talking to Ji Xiurong in the technical department office just now.

But he knew in his heart that although this matter was not a world-shaking event, it was by no means a trivial matter.

In such a situation, someone has to step forward and take responsibility.

After much deliberation, Xia Tian decided to take the blame herself.

After all, he was the leader of the forest farm and also the head of the technical department.

In his opinion, it was the most appropriate thing for him to take the blame.

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Yu Zhenglai smiled gently.

"Xia, I already spoke with the minister on the phone before you came."

"The minister instructed us to be extremely careful about our personal safety,"

"Under the premise of ensuring safety, we will try our best to save the planted saplings."

"I was just about to call a meeting to discuss how to implement the minister's instructions."

"And here comes the result!"

As Xia Tian listened to Yu Zhenglai's words, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she was deeply moved.

It's really lucky to have a leader like Yu Zheng.

When something goes wrong, he doesn't shirk responsibility; he really takes it on.

"I see, Uncle Yu!"

"Does the minister have any other instructions?"

"there is none left!"

Yu Zhenglai answered with a smile.

"Xia, go and inform Director Huang and Director Li to come to the office for a meeting."

"Let's discuss what to do next together."

Xia Tian responded and turned to leave the office to deliver Yu Zheng's message.

……

Three days later, the drizzling autumn rain finally showed signs of stopping.

early morning.

When the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the damp earth.

The entire forest was bathed in a golden glow.

Yu Zhenglai stood in front of the office window.

Looking at the gradually clearing sky and the busy employees outside, I was filled with emotion.

As the weather improved, the forest farm's various operations gradually returned to normal.

Xia Tian, ​​along with the technical team, managed to salvage some of the saplings.

Of course, most of the saplings had already been washed away by the rain and disappeared without a trace.
