Luo Chen couldn't react. What happened to the earth?
If you have nothing to do, come here to tease me.
Xia Xiaoyu looked up to the sky and sighed, "Why is there another earthquake? The earth is too unsafe. I want to go back to Mars."
This joke is not funny at all[
After being stunned for a second, Luo Chen quickly asked Betsy, "Betsy, is San Francisco far from New York?" She knew that Betsy had been staying in the United States since junior high school and was familiar with it there.
Luo Chen looked anxious and spoke very fast. Gao Ziyang, Chen Kun, Chen Jin, and her college roommate Yu Xiaoyan were all in New York.
There is a thirteen-hour time difference between the city and the United States. It should be very late at night there, and it would be difficult to run. Luo Chen was afraid that they would be injured.
But before Betsy could say anything, a call came from Father Luo. Father Luo said that he and Mother Luo were going to San Francisco immediately as members of the international rescue team.
"Dad, there must have been aftershocks just after the earthquake. It's very dangerous. Why are you running to join in the fun?" Luo Chen complained and said in an extremely dissatisfied tone. She felt that her parents were too kind. They are two good people.
Call her individualistic or selfish. Luo Chen just doesn't have that much emotion to worry about the country and the people. What's more, there was an earthquake in San Francisco, USA. Her first reaction was that her relatives and friends in the United States must not have anything happen to her father now. I wanted to go there with Mother Luo, not to mention how reluctant she was.
"Xiaochen, this is a mission sent by the state. All the top three hospitals across the country have to send people there. Your mother and I have only been back there for a few months. We are quite familiar with it. Maybe we can be of some help." Father Luo knew My daughter is careful and tries to explain as concisely as possible to avoid worrying her.
snort
The country is very generous to Americans. She has not seen anything the country has done for such a big thing as the big laboratory building explosion. Luo Chen thought with some anger.
"Where are mom and dad?"
"Your mother is packing things. We won't wait for you to get off work. We have to leave soon. At night, go back to the countryside by yourself and see your grandparents. They are all waiting eagerly." Father Luo's tone was a bit embarrassing, showing his guilt for the old parents in the countryside this year. I have been away from the country for a year. I originally promised to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now it has been ruined. I am really unfilial.
Luo Chen knew that nothing she could say would stop her parents from being kind to their parents. She could only try to make them worry less. "I know, Dad, I will go back and tell my grandparents, but you remember to turn on the phone 24 hours a day." Oh, you must not have had time to activate international roaming on your mobile phone. I will do it for you after work."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Chen irritably moved the strands of hair in front of his forehead and quickly dialed Gao Ziyang's number. Ms. Luo is a tough guy. She usually thinks international long distance charges are too expensive and rarely calls Gao Ziyang. She always sends EML or directly video chats. Call now. The phone is really helpful
People in the secretary's office heard Luo Chen and Luo's father calling and asking, "Secretary Luo, your parents are going to San Francisco now."
"Yeah, it's so annoying. I heard that the state sent them there. It's so annoying. Usually when nothing happens in our country, I don't think the country is so considerate of the people."
"Oh, what kind of thing is this? China is so poor that it still lends money to the United States. How sentimental is it for poor people to lend money to rich people? International comrades are more important."
well
Luo Chen knew they were teasing again and sighed, focusing on her mobile phone.
The call was hung up within a few seconds, and Gao Ziyang's phone was turned off [
Luo Chen complained, "Why can't I get through on the phone?"
"Do you know anyone in San Francisco?"
"It's not like they're all in New York."
Betsy laughed and said, "Then why are you so anxious? New York and San Francisco, one is in the east and the other is in the west. They can't even compete with San Francisco. Even if the sky changes, New York won't feel the earthquake."
The corner of Luo Chen's mouth twitched. It's terrible to be uneducated. She has no geographical knowledge. "Is it true? New York is far away from San Francisco."
Betsy is an absolute action person. She doesn’t just talk empty words and directly pulls up a map of the United States on her computer and asks Luo Chen to come over and take a look.
Luo Chen came closer to the computer. Betsy pointed at the distance on the screen and said, "Look at the map. New York and San Francisco are far apart. It's okay."
Luo Chen said "Fortunately"
After knowing that the people he cared about were fine, Luo Chen took the time to sort out the meeting minutes and then browsed the news online. Major websites had been flooded with news about the San Francisco earthquake. From beginning to end, it was an earthquake.
There are relatively few shoddy construction projects in San Francisco, and not many buildings have collapsed. However, because the earthquake occurred at around two o'clock in the morning local time, as long as the buildings collapsed, people were buried.
Luo Chen looked a little uncomfortable. Compared with these sudden natural disasters, human life is as small as a drop in the ocean.
No one in the secretary office has any intention to work anymore. Fortunately, they are not very busy now. Everyone just handles the work at hand as quickly as possible and gathers together to gossip.
Betsy is an acquaintance over there who came back from the United States, but now she can’t get through the phone there in the middle of the night. She is so anxious that she can’t get through.
Luo Chen realized that Secretary Qin had been silent and the hand holding the phone was shaking, as if hesitating whether to call or not. Worry was written on his face. Luo Chen asked with concern, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Do you know anyone in San Francisco?" "
Secretary Qin swallowed his saliva, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know. Maybe I am here or not. I haven't contacted you for a long time."
People who haven't contacted them for a long time probably don't have a good relationship. Luo Chen was thinking this now. But one day in the future, she would also experience this feeling of not being able to see or think about it, and then she finally realized that not contacting her was not because she didn't want to. miss
Luo Chen browsed the news for a while and then called Chen Nuo, "Arnold, do you know about the San Francisco earthquake?"
"kindness"
"Have you called Brother and the others? Are they okay?"
Chen Nuo laughed and said, "How could it be possible that San Francisco is so far away from New York?"
Luo Chen is embarrassed. Why does everyone know this? She is the only one who doesn’t know anything. It’s useless to worry. It seems that she will have to make up for geography in the future.
"Arnold, I'm taking the evening train back to the countryside"[
Chen Nuo was in a meeting before he answered the phone. He looked at the many pairs of eyes in the conference room that were as big as bells and said softly, "I know, haven't I said it before?"
