Yang Chen quickly received a reply from the blogger, Xiaorui.
"Big brother, can you really help me fulfill my dream? I’m already so pitiful, please don’t deceive me and make me leave this world with hate."
Yang Chen immediately sat up and seriously sent her his phone number.
After a while, an unknown call came through.
Yang Chen answered the phone, asking, "Hello."
The person on the other end asked, "Big brother, hello, I am Zhang Rui. Can you really help me achieve my wish?"
Yang Chen: "Yes! Which hospital are you at now?"
Zhang Rui: "I’m at Hecheng First Renmin Hospital."
Yang Chen: "Alright! Then get ready; tomorrow I’ll apply for the flight route, and in the evening I’ll take you straight to Beijing to watch the flag-raising ceremony and then send you back to Hecheng. Does that work for you?"
Zhang Rui: "Really? Big brother, you can’t deceive me. This is my life’s last wish. As long as I can fulfill it, I can peacefully go to another world."
Yang Chen: "Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t deceive you. I can reach you at this number, right?"
Zhang Rui: "Yes! You can reach me."
Yang Chen: "Alright! See you tomorrow evening."
Then Yang Chen called Qiu Yuhong, asking him to arrange a helicopter to take Zhang Rui to Beijing to watch the flag-raising ceremony.
If the helicopter purchased by Shield Security Group only carries people, it can fly about 600-700 kilometers with a full tank.
The distance from Hai City to Hecheng is 500 kilometers, but from Hecheng to Beijing it’s 1,035 kilometers.
This means the helicopter must fill up at Hai City, fly to Hecheng to pick up Zhang Rui, refuel again at Zheng City, and then fly to Beijing.
Although it’s quite troublesome, helping Zhang Rui fulfill her life’s last wish is worth doing.
After understanding Yang Chen’s intentions, Qiu Yuhong immediately applied to the aviation authority for the flight routes from Hai City to Hecheng, Hecheng to Zheng City, and Zheng City to Beijing.
Generally, helicopters are used for short-distance transportation, typically with a range of about 300 kilometers, yet Shield Security Group applied for three flight routes, with Beijing as the destination, prompting careful consideration by the aviation authority.
The aviation authority required Shield Security Group to explain the purpose of the flight route application, the accompanying personnel, and the tools carried.
Moreover, they demanded that every landing and takeoff undergo strict inspection; otherwise, all passengers would not be allowed to leave the helicopter.
Seeing that Shield Security Group aimed to fulfill a terminally ill girl’s last wish, the aviation authority was touched and quickly coordinated with Hecheng, Zheng City, and Beijing, opening up these three flight routes for Shield Security Group’s SD001 helicopter.
Subsequently, the aviation authority posted related news on the official Weibo.
The main message was approving Shield Security Group’s flight route application, greatly admiring their positive actions, and wishing Zhang Rui not to give up hope, with the belief that she can conquer the illness.
Netizens love to stir things up, and soon this positive news on Weibo spread across various websites and short video platforms, causing Shield Security Group to become very popular.
Shield Security Group’s official Weibo and Douyin accounts originally had only tens of thousands of followers, but within half a day, both accounts’ follower count exceeded ten million.
Many netizens came to leave praise.
"I’ve never heard of your company before, but that won’t stop me from liking you."
"A positive company deserves to be popular. I hope companies and individuals needing security services consider Shield Security."
"Our company is organizing a star concert and happens to need security personnel. Tomorrow, we’ll discuss collaboration with your company. If the price is right, we’ll use your company’s security staff."
"The trip must have cost a lot. Do a live stream; I don’t want to donate to a charity organization but would like to directly donate to you for Xiaorui. I’ll give a 100 yuan gift as my support for Xiaorui."
"Demand for full live streaming!"
"A thousand people sign a petition; Shield Security Group must live stream the entire event. We want to see the view from the helicopter firsthand."
"I don’t believe a company would be so frivolous, spending so much to take her to watch the flag-raising ceremony. Obviously, it’s a company riding on the wave of popularity, don’t be fooled."
...
Yang Chen also followed the comments from netizens, thinking that live streaming was indeed a great promotional strategy.
Doing good deeds and advertising don’t conflict; this opportunity can be well-utilized for promoting Shield Security Group and avoiding some online cynics tarnishing its reputation.
Thus, Yang Chen messaged Qiu Yuhong to arrange for full live streaming.
In the evening, Shield Security Group’s helicopter picked up Zhang Rui at Hecheng Hospital, simultaneously starting the live stream.
In less than ten minutes, the live stream room had over 100,000 viewers online.
Comments:
"Now people can’t doubt the authenticity."
"Such a positive thing, yet some with a dark mentality maliciously speculate. Any arguments now?"
"This company is impressive, doing what they said. But wouldn’t it be better if the money was spent on treating her illness?"
"I don’t have much money, but I’ll support you with 10 yuan."
...
Initially, it was only meant to promote Shield Security Group, yet unexpectedly, the supportive netizens contributed gifts worth millions.
At 4 a.m., Shield Security Group’s helicopter hovered over the flag-raising ceremony area.
